These 12's are too loose, now I'm officially a size 10. Aiming for an 8 :) So, from my highest point in the last year I've lost 35lbs. I really don't think I would have had this success if it wasn't for my Polar heart rate monitor and my fabulous gym (and, of course, tracking my calories ~ which was very hard to do in the beginning). But, this particular mix seems to have worked best for me whereas my other approaches did not.
By the way, Polar is the best manufacturer for heart rate monitors if you are looking for one. I use the F6 which looks like this (it does everything you need it too no matter what exercise you're into):
Other than that, meeting deadlines on design projects and training non-stop (hoping my life will begin again and throw me some better times soon).
If you're wondering, berty is just a byname and this place is where I share what's buzzing with me.
I'm a creative American-Australian zealot originally from Newport Beach, moved to Boston for 14 years but now am starting fresh again in Austin. You can see some of my past projects at bertydesign (shamefully, it needs a heavy haul of recent work and I'm getting to it!).
I hope you'll discover something new here... that's the mission anyway. Cheers!
