    So my start weight is 165 lbs, and my goal is to get down to 120 in about 6 months! Today I had 1/2 an apple, so not so great with the fruits, tommorow will be better! However, I did manage to go to the gym and I did a solid hour of cardio burning approximately 520 calories overall! Oh and just a piece of information I can share with the group, when your drinking orange juice, make sure to read the label and be sure that it does not say "from concentrate" cause then it is not real orange juice, they simply put a vitamin c tablet in the juice, always be certain that it is pure orange juice. Just thought I would share this interesting information cause it definitely surprised me and changed my view of reading labels!

    All right, no fruit taken in today (unless you inlcude one Michelob Ultra Pomegrante/Raspberry beer :bigsmile: ) but I did buy alot of good fruit at the grocery today to help me with this challenge and I also picked up a HUGE bag of mangoes from my back yard (still haven't decided exactly what I'm gonna do with them since until today I have been giving them away to neighbors..), so I'm on the right track!

    mangoes are way yummy. pain in the tail to prepare, but worth it. i had two servings today, a big apple, and most of a tomato on my salad at dinner.
    got all my water, did an hour of circuit training. had a good day!

    Girl, my mango tree has been my nemisis thus far this year, however it has kept me outside since I'm attempting to fix up my back yard and spend more time outside. Which I do very little of since I'm in S. fla and it's soooo hot. With that said, I'm trying and attempting to decide what to do with them all (see my post in Food and Nutrition) besides give out to the neighbors. I think the food bank will be a priority if I continue to get good ones on the level I'm getting now - to the tune of at least 20 non-broken ones per day and most pretty ripe.

    kellya - I need a new roof! See you got one, I have little mango trees growing out of my spouts (which need to be removed) and my BIG mango tree also needs to be prunned prior to hurricane season (next week in Florida) - so I'm fu""d because I cannot afford a new roof with the bf still being laid off and don't think the bank will give us an equity loan because of the times we're in to get one. Yes, I waited but also didn't know our roof was sooo bad until floating in our new blow up style pool - it's bad......now worried. Worry leads to eating and I guess the best thing to do is just hope for the best for now......................

    thoughts anyone?

    HI!!!!!! how is everybody doing??? oh my goodness!! the green team has GROWN! that is just soooo GREAT! HI SASSIE!! HI PORKA!! HI SHANNON!! HI AML!! and the rest of GREEN TEAM!! looks like everyone is doing pretty good with the fruit challenge, so far i have done 2-3 servings on all days' cept Sunday. Still busy here, track is over, and our girls have events going onto state...YIPPY! 4 more field trips, and 7 1/2 DAYS LEFT!!!! WOOT WOOT!! :laugh: dh and youngest son will be leaving the 29th for a week of fishing in Canada. i will have the house to myself, w/19yo son, and my puggers, i have requested NO activity driving then....so it will be a lil vaca for me as well! i can't wait! i finally bought some annuals today and will plant them Wednesday. we just had our last batch of morel mushrooms tonite too. none til next year. they find them on my inlaws farm, last hunt we bagged over 7 lbs!! :tongue:

    sassie, soo good to have you back hon! and ceasing the smokes! i am sooo PROUD of YOU!! that is major dear! what a great thing for your body!

    shannon, ahhhh, finals are done and your back is better....you must feel much less stressed!

    i just want to say with the fruit challenge, it does help having a few variaties availble at all times. i even freeze some so they wont go to waste. another plus with fruits and veggies, is it helps boost your immune system. i have not been sick in over 7 months, and my family is on their 2nd round of colds. i try to eat an orange every day. oh, and the scale, i weigh almost daily. and i record it as well, for me, there is a slight pattern, and not sure what it will show once i get to goal, but it is interesting. yeah, the 'cycle' can offset things 1-3 weeks for me. but if i eat very healthy, watch salt intake and keep my water intake above 64 fl oz, i will actually keep losing those 1-3 weeks. i know it is different with everyone. just understand your body when a gain shows at that time.....don't beat yourself up, just keep on with your healthy lifestyle....that is all you can do, really!

    does everyone have a set plan for their workouts/exercise routines? mine will be changing here when school is done. mine will likely take place in the am since it will be cooler....and i can get it out of the way.

    i see my cardiologist the 29th, and hope the report is good! it has been a year and there are changes!!

    well, i am glad to see all the new folks here and the regulars....still missing some, loser4real, purrrr, holly 78, yeahbuddy, velvetwing, and many many more.......:cry: i really hope they come back soon.....

    have a great week buddies......4 more days til weigh in. remember why you are here and daily be serious about your health......be the you you were meant to be!! GO GREEN!

    Kellya I have missed you...................hope all is good.........:flowerforyou:

    Well I got my 2 servings of fruit in yesterday. Boy was it hot here. We shattered our old record high of 87 and hit 97 degrees yesterday. Too hot for me to get any motivation to go to the gym or go walking. I did however spend my whole night outside doing some yard work. Today is supposed to be 94 and windy so I am determined to make it to the gym tonight.

    Porka~mmmm.........mango's are one of my favorite fruits. I just eat them raw. I'm not sure what else to do with them. They are a pain to clean tho.

    Shannon~I know finals can be really stressful. But hey they are done and you survived. I am sure you did great on them. I am also very glad to hear your back is better.

    Sassie~Happy Birthday. WTG with quitting smoking. Did you use the patch or anything or did you just quit cold turkey?

    Kellya~I think it was you that asked about excercise routines. I pretty much just go with the flow. If I have a babysitter to watch my son I will hit the gym and get a pretty intense 2 hour cardio workout in. Otherwise my son and I do alot of walking and are starting to bike together. We have been very busy with yard work now now that it has warmed up. So lots of low intensity movement. Part of this Journey for me is to teach my son how important eating right and excercising is. He is so cute in trying to understand healthy food vs not healthy food. I want to break this cycle.

    MissHeidi~WTG with getting your water in. This is a big challenge for a lot of people.

    MXBURKE~Welcome to the Green Team.
