@rainey-- I love Edinburgh! When my sister was living in England (a year in Manchester for uni, and then in London on a work visa), I got the chance to visit her twice. We toured all over and Edinburgh was, by far, my favorite. Funny story--I had a hard time understanding folks in Manchester--had to have my sister clarify for me at times. However, when we got into a taxi at the Edinburgh train station, the driver started talking to us, and I chatted with him all the way to our hotel. When we got out of the car, my sister was like, "I have to translate for you in Manchester, but THAT you understood?!?!" LOL
That's hilarious! I'd imagine Manchester to be easier to understand too... they seem to speak slower there (no offence to any of them), we have a temp working in our office just now from Leeds which is sooooort of near there and he talks a little bit slower. I'm not a totally broad Scots accent, I was actually born in England (Winchester, if anyone's a Supernatural fan LOL) - I've only lived here 25 years But I'm still proud it was your favourite

@RunRaineyRun - Scotland is definitely on my bucket list for a place to visit. Looks beautiful!
I think Utah is now as well... and now this island we are heading to...Ooh, so many places to see and do! Retirement can't come fast enough! LOL!
Have a great Monday!
I hear you on the retirement front! Only... *mumbles* years to go! lol. It really is a lovely place, we'd love to have you. Watch out for the Haggis as you walk around Arthurs Seat

Where do they find these locations? I hadn't heard of our location before and now I want to travel there. Maybe in heaven I'll make it to all of these places. There are so many amazing places in the world, I don't think I will make it to all that I'd like to visit.
@alipsie19, your into made me smile. Good job on the Chinese! I'm excited to have you on the team.
@enuf200, I'll have to look up a ringette video. Sounds like a cool sport!
@TangledThread, your dedication to counting is inspirational!
@change04, your pictures crack me up!
I think we need a question of the day:
What's your healthy go to snack?3 -
@alipsie19, welcome to the team!
@shauna30, thanks. My dedication to being thin more so than the logging. I've been chubby to fat my whole life. This is my first time being thin and I'm motivated to stay this way.
Hmmmm, snacks. Well, my quick answer if the first thing I gave up is snacks.
I now (mostly, everyday is different) eat 1 tiny and 2 large meals a day and that is it. Snacks leave me hungry while a hearty meal will stick with me for hours.
But my mini meal could be called a snack so here are a few-
plain greek yogurt with pineapple and dried cherries.
four tortillas baked in the oven topped with 28g shredded cheese then dip in salsa or guacamole
tea eggs
cottage cheese topped with cinnamon and drizzle of honey.

Hey team! We made it! Awesome! I will get some exercise in today, have to finish up week 2 of C25K. It was a very busy week for me, we had 6 ringette games, a birthday out of town, and a retirement at work (special meals and events with that).
I am sure looking forward to this upcoming week as my kids have exams. That means very little activities and I don't have to make lunches!! LOL! (Yes, I still make my high school kids lunches...don't judge. Ha Ha!) Also, lots of time to exercise!
@shauna30 - love the summary of our team!
That is so cool about ringette. I learn so much during these races.
Please keep checking in on C25K. I keep starting and I keep failing out on week 5. I feel like I'm a runner now since I go out for 4-6 miles a few times a week but I still have to break and walk every mile and half. My lungs just can't take it. I would love to hear how it goes for you and maybe I can learn how to keep going.3 -

Happy Tuesday Team 3!!
@shauna30 my healthy snacks at present would be carrot sticks and Cucumber chunks plus muller light yoghurt with raspberries or strawberry on top if I need something sweet.
@alipsie19 impressive routine. Also wishing your dog all the best today at surgery hope it's nothing to serious.
@TangledThread congratulations on your achievements so far on your lifestyle change, it seems like you've accomplished so much during this healthy journey.
Hope you all have a fab Tuesday!! It seems we are off to a good start.

Welcome @alipsie19 and you have a great routine going for you! Good luck to your dog!
@TangledThread If you are failing at Week 5 day 3 of C25K in spite of running 4-6 miles, it's most probably a mental block. Get a good play list and try to go as slowly as you can and you will be able to do it. The later weeks of C25K are to build endurance, so require lesser pace than the earlier weeks to get through.
Great job on the maintenance. I have been maintaining for almost two years but continue to weigh and log for another challenge! I would like to try maintenance without logging too, later this year.
@enuf200 First time, I'm hearing of ringette...will check out a video online to see how it is played.
@shauna30 My snacks currently are fruits...I never restrict myself but just practice portion control, so I do enjoy cookies etc when I have the calories.
I have been sleeping pretty badly this week, really wish I could just switch off. As a result, I didn't have much energy yesterday, but off to do the dance videos and some yoga now. I won't be able to get the walk/ run outside as it has been raining here since yesterday. It's supposed to clear up by Thursday evening, so fingers crossed.1 -
@shauna30.....my go to snack....well I have been struggling lately that is why I am pretty happy about Journaling this week as a challenge. I didn't journal yesterday but today I plan to. So I will not list my bad go to snacks because they are really bad. But I really enjoy an apple with cheese or peanut butter....just need to enjoy it alot more frequent recently....0
-
@shauna30 - I don't have a go to healthy snack. Part of my problem! I did have an apple last night! As @summ72 said - just need to go for that more frequently.
@TangledThread - This isn't my first rodeo with c25k or any other running program for that matter. I've had a love/hate relationship with running throughout my life. I tend to focus on it for months, with a goal in mind, reach that goal, but then stop altogether. Then...months or a year later, I decide on another goal and start from scratch again. Its crazy. So here I am again...LOL! I will finish it,(that is my current goal) but then I need to carry on! I know I should find another one a little further down the road, but I am usually so done with it.
@alipsie19 - hope surgery goes well for your little pooch! Awesome workout!
Please check out ringette! There is so much I can say about it...but I won't be that parent! LOL! But truly, it is a great team sport.
Challenges
3/5 dance videos
1.8 miles walk
1/5 logging
Have a great day, Team 3!0
