GOOD MORNING
TEAMS AND MEMBERS
I HAVE BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES EVEN MORE THAN THE OTHER MODS KNOW. I AM DEVELOPING NEW PROGRAMS TO INTRODUCE INTO THIS GROUP IN 2020. I WILL ROLL THEM OUT AS I SEE FIT AS NOT TO OVER WHELMED ANY ONE,OR TEAM. AS A PROGRAM SPECIALIST FOR A NATIONAL NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION I WORKED ON BRINGING NEW PROGRAMS TO MY BRANCH.
HENCE I CREATED A NUTRITION AND FITNESS PROGRAM FOR KIDS AGES 7-18. THAT IS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING NOW FOR THIS ENTIRE GROUP. ALL TEAMS ....ALL MEMBERS ...ALL AGE GROUPS... AND ALL ABILITIES NO ONE LEFT BEHIND NO ONE LEFT OUT... IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN IT NO WORRIES I AM BULLET PROOF.
I AM GEARING IT TOWARDS ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES, I AM TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL TYPES OF MEALS THAT EVERY ONE IS ON EVEN INCLUDING THOSE OF YOU ON MAINTENANCE. I AM GIVING IT MY BEST SHOT TO MAKE IT USER FRIENDLY.
I AM GOING TO CALL IT "FROM THE COACHES CORNER" I HAVE RECRUITED SUCCESSFULLY A CANADIAN PRO ATHLETE. COACH FRENCHIE COMPETES IN WEIGHT LIFTING AND OTHER VARIOUS THINGS SHE IS SPONSORED BY SOME MAJOR NATIONAL SPORTS COMPANIES. I HAVE ALSO RECRUITED SUCCESSFULLY A REGISTERED DIETICIAN. JESSICA KIM WORKS FOR ATI PHYSICAL THERAPY IN LAKEWOOD WA . SHE HAS BEEN MY NUTRITION COACH FROM THE GET GO OF MY OSTOMY SURGERY (5 YEARS). THEY BOTH ARE PROFESSIONAL IN THEIR CHOSEN FIELDS. I WILL ROUND IT OUT AS YOUR CHEF WITH NUTRITION TIDBITS AND EXCITING RECIPES. I ATTENDED THE CULINARY ARTS ACADEMY OF CALIFORNIA GRADUATING WITH A MASTERS CULINARY ART CERTIFICATION WITH THE MAIN FOCUS OF BEING A SEAFOOD AND SAVORY CHEF THEN I WAS INVITED TO ATTENDED THE SOUTH SEATTLE FRENCH BAKING/PASTRY ACADEMY AT SSCC AND GRADUATED FROM THERE AS A CERTIFIED PASTRY CHEF
I WILL WORK ON RECIPES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT WILL FIT INTO YOUR MEAL PLAN WITH THE SIMPLEST OF WAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU. I WOULD LIKE YOU SUGGEST CUISINES THAT YOU LOVE, BUT ARE AFRAID OF BE CAUSE OF CARBS,SUGAR, ALL TYPES OF FAT SO ON SO FORTH.
AND YOU SAY TO ME WE CAN GET ALL OF THAT ON THE INTERNET GREG, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE IT.... YES YOU CAN HOW EVER THIS IS GOING TO BE ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. YOU GET TO ASK US THE QUESTIONS THAT GOOGLE MAY GENERALIZE OR MAY NOT BE UP TO PAR ON IT. YOU GET TO REACH OUT TO 3 INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DEDICATED THEIR CAREERS TO BE THE VERY BEST AT IT. THIS IS ABOUT YOU THE MEMBER NOT ABOUT WHAT GOOGLE CAN DO .
I AM IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE PLANNING FOR THIS PROGRAM AND I WILL ROLL IT OUT IN 2020. SO STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT I AM CREATING AND WORKING ON.
GREG

Well I have developed edema in legs (about 6 days ago). They look like sausages that are about to burst. So needless today I am carrying a lot of extra water weight right now. Started diuretics this morning and going for an ultrasound this afternoon. This whole recovery process is not going as planned or expected.

@reflectionofme I am so sorry your recovery from surgery is not going as well as you would like. I’ve know two other people who have had it and both of them had difficult and painful recoveries. I sure hope the diuretics work their magic and you are getting rid of that fluid soon. Hope they figure out what is going on quickly and you feel yourself again. Hugs to you. Hang in there. One day soon, it will just be a memory. 💜1

What is your identity? How are you going to practice it?
I am a person who is focused on improving my health and my BMI. I am a loser (of weight).
I weigh and log my food. I am an exerciser. I get 150 minutes of exercise a week. I drink 64+ ounces of water a day. I check in with my team to offer and get support, to be inspired and be inspiring, and to learn new habits for reaching my goals.
Last call for anyone else interested in our team step challenge.

Hi! I'll join you although I'm pretty low on the count much of the time. I'll work on it! Remind me about timing to send you numbers...weekly or daily?1 -
Yesterday was fairly good for my goals, with a minor corn chip infraction last evening - within calories and before hopping on the exercise bike, but not a great idea...
I'll bring along the snowshoes and take the dog on an excursion! I love his dog - she is quite a blast for going out on excursions. Sometimes I just have to get out of the house!
Just "sometimes", eh?! Well, enjoy the time away. zap me a message and give me some good times to touch base tomorrow (Wednesday). Have a blast with Moni on Thursday! hugs all around.

@reflectionofme - so sorry to hear about your edema - that is a horrible feeling. May it pass soon
@Shexio - good luck with your surgery too! It sounds like you have a good handle on the process, but it may kick you a few surprises. Hang in there!
I hope everyone is doing well this fine day. I made it down to Massachusetts - there are some 16 inches of new snow but the roads were fine, and it is clear and beautiful now. Can't wait for romping about in the morning. Needless to say, today was not one of my finest for tracking and getting any exercise... Will do better tomorrow.3 -

Great!!! You are added. No worries about your numbers at all. The whole idea is to improve not beat someone else. I find reporting daily is helpful, but weekly is fine too. Just have them all in by Sunday at noon, please. 🚶🏽♀️😃🎉💪🏼1 -
@micki48 Is it too late to Join the step Challenge, I really need to work on that...
Mine so far are
12/1 - 1,244 ( See told you I need to work on it)
12/2 - 5340
12/3 - 47211 -
@jugar I’d rather weigh in on Saturday this week. Maybe not Saturday the 14th since surgery is the day prior. Could I skip a week there? And/or report the 2nd weigh in on the 12th?
You can certainly weigh in on Saturday this week, and then whatever works for you the week of the surgery - if I see nothing on the 12th, I'll just put in an "excused" note for that week, and wait until the following week. Take as much time off as you need to!0 -

WEEK 1
PW: 147.6
CW: 148.8 - YIKES - I'm pretty sure it's from not eating well yesterday - SICK!!1 -
Hell week is in full force and in the 8 months I've been counting calories, I've never felt this tempted to eat my stress. I actually snuck chocolate from the lunchroom.
I worked all friggin day yesterday and didn't even get halfway through section three, of 13. Plus I have to do 17 interviews still!
I wanna cry.
I hate this audit.2 -

No, not at all. You’re in. Just work on adding 500 steps for a couple days. Then a little more and a little more. Good luck. You can do this.fourathomej wrote: »@micki48 Hope I'm not too late for the step team!!! It's the one thing I can do right, right now.
