Wife & I took a vacation to Los Angeles last week - Wed->Tuesday.

Amazing. We stayed at the OceanVilla Hotel right on the beach in Santa Monica, and then at the Loews Resort in San Diego. It was awesome.

If you go, do yourself a favor and splurge on a hotel room with a balcony facing the beach. It's worth the extra $$, and nothing beats waking up in the AM, having coffee on your own balcony facing the water.

First morning on the beach (around 7:30) we saw a sc...

Running

I've been posting all over CalorieKing blogs about the benefits of resistance training over cardio.

I wish I could take my own advice.

I have a confession to make: I love to run.

Perhaps this is what is called a "plateau".

Or maybe, I'm just messing up my body.

Gained a few pounds last w/end, and have been working really hard to lose them again.

I'm nervous that with all my exercise, my body doesn't know how to just metabolize food anymore. Meaning, that the moment I stop working-out like crazy, I will just balloon?

I'm 44 male, 5"10, 203 lbs now (SW: 226). I consume about 1400 calories daily, and burn-off about 300-400 / ...
