About Me
Hi, my name is Penny and I'm a foodaholic. OK, seriously, I love food. I hate the word "foodie" but I guess that's me. I'm trying to find a way to be able to love food and not be overweight anymore. I work in an inbound call center and help people out when they're going through rough times in their lives. It's important for people with my job to do things they really love when they go home. Unfortunately, doing what I love is making me fat. I need to work on that :)

Thanks. I’ll keep tracking it. Maybe it always goes up and down and I just never really noticed like this before. I feel better that I’m not the only one at least.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic How to get more cardio without going faster? in the forum Cycling Forum 1 week, 6 days ago
I think hills are your best option, or off-roading. If you’re on a trail that is right for your experience level and it has hills, you should get a good workout without having to force yourself to go faster.

Okay. Thanks. That makes me feel better. Seems scary when heart stuff changes. This is all stuff that has likely always happened to me, I just didn’t know because I didn’t have a tracker.

My heart rate is going up and down with the heat outside, according to my fitbit. Is it the device or my actual heart reacting to the heat? Is that normal? Should I be worried? It’s changing by about 5 beats per minute when it’s my resting rate.

I’m pretty sure you do sweat when you swim. I remember a long time ago when I was having lessons, we were encouraged to hydrate for that reason. We were in an outdoor pool. Not sure if that played a role.

You can always keep up doing the things you like and just use the right kind of cream to prevent that. Udder Balm is good for preventing that.

My sister always gets sunburn-like blotches when she swims in pools with a ton of chlorine. Shower off as soon as you get out of the pool if you can. It makes a difference. Don’t go at the hottest times of the sun, too.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic My weight stopped dropping in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 2 months, 1 week ago
drink more water, track your calories, and check if your workout needs an upgrade. Don’t panic! You might even be doing everything right, you’re just building lean muscle and burning fat at the same time so it’s not registering on the scale. Don’t forget that your scale can’t tell the diffrence between your body fat, great muscle, water w…[Read more]

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Difference between jogging and running in the forum Running Forum 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Oh you shouldn’t ever feel goofy about asking questions here. THat’s what this place is for. I’ve asked some doozies here, too, but everyone is pretty nice here. Plus, it feels good when you know the answer to a question, so even if it seems like a simple question that you’re asking, it makes it easier for the rest of us to feel smart by helping haha!

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Yes it makes a difference to weight loss in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s true. If that’s the deciding line. But for most people, they’re not eating the right number of calories or aren’t riding the line. Food is usually the thing. I do agree though if you’re already eating pretty much perfectly, then it’s exercise that will tip things in your favor.

Speed and stride length. Jogging is what happens when you’re going just fast enough that you can’t walk anymore so you need more of a hop to your step. Running happens when you go faster than that.

They do look attractive don’t they? I’ve been curious about those, too. I’ve had one in my amazon cart probably half a dozen times then took it back out again. I see so many mixed reviews that I can’t decide. I hope you learn something good about them!

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Run in the morning or evening? in the forum Running Forum 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Some people run every day. I’ve heard it’s good to take some time off to give the body the chance to recover. You could do 2 days on, 2 days off. Use the other days for strength training and yoga.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Running is the freest part of my day in the forum Running Forum 4 months ago
That sounds amazing. I’ve been afraid of running for the last while. Maybe I’ll try it. I could try early I guess so that I don’t get seen by people while I look crazy haha.

Magnesium is something a lot of us are low in a lot. Our diets could get enough of it, bu don’t typically. It’s in and out of the body in around 12 hours so it needs to be replenished a lot. It has a lot of calming properties and balancing, so if you’re low, it can help.

Thank you! I’m going to give it a try. I’ll clean it all up, test it out and grease everything but the brakes haha. If everything seems to be in order, I’ll just stick to it. If things just don’t seem right, I’ll take it in for a pro to do it. I hope this is enough and I save a fortune this year!

I like produccts that have magnesium in them. Look for that in the formula.

Greasing the right places, air in the tires, testing the brakes. Is there anything else that needs to be done other than giving the bike a once over check?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Where to get a bike?! in the forum Cycling Forum 5 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s still early in the season. Check back with sports stores and see if they’re getting anything in. You can even likely ask them to email you or text you when they get product in. Don’t give up on the whole year yet!

I can’t wait to get my bike out. I wonder how that will compare. The weather is nice enough but the roads are still gritty from winter. Soon!!!
