Did you know that a POLAR HEART MONITOR can keep track of your workout results based on your effort/heart rate? I’ve been playing with my toy that I have had for some time now. (3 years) I’m just figuring out more of the things it does.
Did you know that a POLAR HEART MONITOR can track this information and store it on your watch for a year? It’s kind of cool to compare results from the day prior or weeks or months prior to each other to see how they compare. I find that I still would rather write down my results on paper essentially copying the information off my watch down. But, it’s great to know that once your workout is complete that I can go back into my watches FILE setting and pull up the information from todays workout or even a workout a month ago or a year ago. Pretty cool!
These are just handy things I am finding out about my Polar A5. It’s an older model. I’m sure the newest ones I see on the fitness town website are the same but better!

I am going to change my Glog up… Flog … Smog… Clog… whatever it’s called. I am going to show my eating plan prior to my pre-planned workout because I think people don’t see the effort I put into eating right. I’m always posting every workout I do every day and then at the end of that I would add my food. Peeps probably don’t scroll down.
I made one change yesterday with regards to my meals. That change is PREPARING all the meals I am going to eat during work night before. This is making a huge difference. Especially becuase of the fact I am working out for 45 minutes every morning now. I just could not workout in the morning and then get the kids off to school and then get myself ready and all the things that entails and then prep my food for the day. Not happening! Pre-paring my meals the night before has made a huge differance.
1. The meals I make are sooooooooo much better now becuase they are balanced with cargs, protein and fats rather then just whatever.
2. They are yummier and I’m not eating the same thing over and over.
3. I seem to be able to eat these meals and want to eat these meals ontime every day. It’s only been a couple days though.
4. I think it’s made a huge differance on my results. (stay tuned)
