Plateau No More!

Okay it's only a pound a piece but that is something after nearly a week and no budging. So Pam has lost 6 pounds and I have lost 7. We were tested yesterday for our Resting and Active Metabolic rates which gives you a ton of information on your body's ability to work and what you burn for calories just by doing what you do everyday without exercise. I burn 2200 calories while doing my thing everyday and Pam burns 1400. I wouldn't have thought that the difference would be that great.

The test also gives you information on where you go from aerobic to anaerobic or how your body utilizes fat versus carbs for fuel during activity. That information allows you to target your workouts to your needs. You would think that if you work out as hard as you can work all the time that you would get the best results, but that is not so for most people.

We found some organic raw crackers to eat with guacamole we made to watch the Seahawks game. Where was that team all year? Those guys seriously looked like a football team. But I digress. The crackers (made by GoRaw) are dehydrated instead of baked so they maintain their essential food quality and enzymes and they were good. They were mainly made of seeds and had different flavors from spicy to pizza. We could have stuck with plain because the Guac was really good.
Tonight we will have the lasagna made with thin sliced zucchini for noodles and some raw goat cheese along with some faux Italian sausage - made like the "meatballs" and marinara. If it's pretty I'm sure Pam will take a picture for you. More soon....
