Polar F6
This is my new fitness gadget. It's the Polar F6 (in Tea Green of course 
) "The F6™ is the optimal choice for group exercisers like in-door cyclists. Coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout, even in a class environment. More than just a stylish model with 4 color options, the F6™ is an excellent exercise motivator. It includes all the features of the F4™, plus guidance with OwnZone® to automatically establish your personal target heart rate zones and feedback with OwnCal® to track your calories and % of fat burned, making it a perfect exercise companion." So I copied it straight from the site instead of trying to paraphrase.
I got my new HRM yesterday which I was able to order at a discounted rate through my jobs fitness club. I was so excited to get it and start playing and programming it. Just like I new kid, I put it on once I had my info saved and basically walked around all day with two watches on.
. I didn't have the HRM portioned on under my clothes so it wasn't doing anything but serving as a cute little watch on my other arm. After reading up on all that it could do I was ready to put it to use in spin class last night. What I learned was a little disheartening. Based on my age, weight and sex, I only burned around 800 calories in that class where I thought I was burning at least 1200. Thats a HUGE variance my friends. I'm glad to have the accuracy, now I will adjust my caloric intake accordingly. All-in-all, for my workout yesterday, I managed to burn right at 1,000 calories including an intense weight lifting session after cycling. Its funny b/c my watch kept beeping when I was within my HR zone and even though the music is always blasting I could still hear its tiny little chirps, so could the ladies riding next to me. This made me turn up my intensity a bit, but I can and will do better. Tonight is step w/abs, so I'm wondering how many calories I'll burn tonight?
This weekend my dear friend Smith will be celebrating his 30th B'day here in Atlanta. We're going to Luckie Food Lounge (which I highly recommended) for dinner to celebrate. This is my spot, although I no longer eat many of the things that made it my fav spot, the ambiance is always stellar. I know he's going to enjoy it. I have this lovely little strapless satin black dress that I plan to wear. I'm going to take pictures (promise!!
) and I'll add them to my pic page. My boo is going with so you'll get to see us together!
Can't wait to party and cut up with my friends. Did I mention that they're coming in a limo? Yes indeed, he's sparing no expense and it's a 2.5hr drive from where he lives to Atlanta, so that should be a fun ride. I'm sure they'll all be drunkards by the time they make it to ATL city limits. Anywho, I guess that's all I have to share right now. As always, there will be more in the coming days. I will drop this nugget on you. I'm making some pretty drastic changes.........I know, I ain't shit for leaving you hanging, but that just means you'll come back to read what those changes are right? Until the next time....
be and do well......
