I drank my water Friday and Saturday. Well on my way today.

I shoot for 12 - 14 cups a day because I live in a hot dry climate. It is cooler this weekend, but we've already hit 110 at least once this year.

hi Green Team!!

Sure hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend, whether off or working. Have had nice weather so far, but rain is predicted Monday....on our annual parade. :ohwell: I am about done with getting all my annuals planted, some perrenials. I love this time of year...good to see some color again! :glasses:

Ok, something has been on my mind pretty frequently here lately...and I just don't know why it is bothering me. It could be b/c of my whole new outlook on a healthier lifestyle or the changes I have made...but I feel selfish and guilty when I look back or think about how I used to eat. It bothers me that I was out of control, unhealthy....and there are people starving. How could I have taken that second, third or fourth helping, stuffed myself miserable. UGH! How many humans yearn for just one bite or a morsel of ANYTHING. It has really made me have a different relationship with food now... I never needed ALL that food and I have only myself to blame for it. It was my choice. I don't know why this is suddenly surfacing, maybe I am hormonal right now. I am just glad I can see the difference now and for those of you much younger than I, in the process of reforming your lifestyle, whether it is with food or exercise, congratulaitons on your desire to change, you are truly doing what is right for your body. don't ever give up on yourself....keep working at being healthy, one day at a time, and before you know it, days, weeks, months and years will be under your *skinnier* belt with the you that was meant to be!

anyway, sorry that was waayyy long....:noway:

jacque ~ it's ok. 1 day isn't going to ruin your efforts. weekend eating is a challenge all on it's own. that could be a challenge for many of us. i did it in the past, but have improved much now. i just treat it like a weekday, and if something comes up that i like, i just be careful and mindful. you can still have all your favorites. the more you deprive yourself of them, the worse your binge could be. my family does NOT eat healthy, and i cannot change them. but, i gotta. i just have to be this way. is there anything that you can think of that triggers this to happen...there is likely some reason....hang in there, i know you want to lose wt and with time and learning, it will happen. hey, how was the movie? i want to see the new Terminator movie!

calicat ~ how was your procedure, hope all is well. take care!

porka ~ mmmm Crystal Light! every once in a while i have some of my sons' sugar free kool aid, cherry limeade is my FAV!! my inlaws have a pool, just an above the ground. i need to do more arm exercises too. the weighted balls do me pretty good. i'm no pc help, sorry :frown:

purrr ~ 204.4....you are so near the 100's!! aren't you excited!! I AM!! i think fruits are one my favorite foods. i know some are higher in carbs than others, but a good carb. i do know if i stick to berries i feel lighter and not as bloated than with other fruits. i crave the tastes tho of bananas, apples and oranges. thanks for the k+ list, good to know. i appreciate all your knowledge you share with us! :happy: you are gonna be so HOT by summer's end! the new 'do' sounds cute, can't wait to see pics! i too donate clothes to Goodwill and Salvation Army.....ps, i am so HAPPY you are back!!!!!

realta ~good job on the water! it's ok on your food, just get back on track, you can do it!

sassie ~ mmmm SHRIMP! the guys are frying it for supper and i am having mine in olive oil and garlic!

aml ~ way to go on the 15miles walking!! That is AWESOME!! :drinker:

Okay so I got my water in for friday and saturday! good stuff, my weekend is going good, however I am from Canada so it is not a long weekend Our long weekend was last week....but im still enjoying myself....today has not been good what so ever eating wise. Firstly I got called in for a night shift so I tried my best not to eat too much last night, but its hard to stay awake, and then this morning, before I even got all my sleep in, my bf's parents came to visit so we ended up going out to eat for Chinese buffet.....omg, way too deliscious, but way terrible for me.....and then i had a three hour nap when we came home, which couldn't of been healthy....either way, Im just going to forget about it for today....but I do admit that I need to stay away from eating out, cause the calories are way too insane! Anyways have a good rest of the weekend everybody!

réalta

jacque509

Hey all!!
Calli-Get better soon, praying for ya
Totally did not get my water in on Sunday, Went out to eat with family again. I agree with mxburke, eating out is going to be a big downfall for me. Plus went with my 'DAD and there is no way you don't finish what you get.
Well starting better today, worked out all ready, have family BBQ to go to at five, Will try to keep under controll

jacque509

I just did my squats, yeah me. Not sure if we are recording if were doing them or how many actually done. if so I did 20

azwildcatfan94

I got my water in yesterday.

I did my day one of squats. Boy could I feel it.

As for what we are tracking, I would say, the initial test, final test, plus any of the intermediate tests. If y'all want, we can also post how we did on our "max" set for the last day of the week on the weeks we don't have a "test". What does everyone else think?

CALIECAT

I just got back from the ER and they check my legs out for blood clots and everything check out fine. Told me to get some light exercise in. But I don't think I am ready for the squat yet i Did do about 10
last week and wasn/t bad. Give me aout another week and I will be ready to join you.

Well I ate good at the BBQ, evevn had cake, but because I swam in the pool about an hour I still had calories left so all in all today was not to bad. I just got to do the exeercise. But because I had steak I did go over on protein and fat a little. So got to work on that. Well talk to u all tomorrow

MissVitaVonCherry

Hello green team!

Today I worked on it but Im not feeling that well.Planning on starting my first day on the squat schedual tonight before bed. Ill talk to you all tomarrow. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Hello everyone! So school is out, and summer's crazy random schedule has set in. I joined Gold's, and am really liking their classes, but it's much harder to stay motivated without my roomie counting on me to go with her. I tried body pump and my arms hurt for 3 days :laugh: :noway:

I got Wii Active, and tried it yesterday and today. I still am not sure whether I like it or not. I love the variety of exercises, but it doesn't always sense my movements when I do the strength training, so I end up stuck on 1 rep for 3 minutes.

Haven't been keeping a food log, but I somehow dropped 3 pounds! :happy: I have no idea how I did it, seeing as I ate about 8 cookies yesterday. I think it's reduced stress...

I don't know when the next time I'll be back is, but I haven't abandoned the green team! Good luck everyone!

HELLLOOOO!!!
Didnt get in from the lake until late yesterday and I will have to say that I did not do all that great this weekend. I let this weekend be my "eat whatever I want" weekend but I walked SOOO much that I think that compensated for it. I wish I could say I did better with my water too but I didnt. Though when I got back home I was getting in the shower and weighed myself and would you believe I didnt gain a pound...I even lost a few inches. WOW! So shocked. But didnt do my squats yesterday so starting them today and will catch up with you guys before the weekends....I will let the weekend catch me up one day. So I will do them today and reports before days end. Now that I am back at work I can get back into the groove of things. I am hoping everyone had the most wonderful memorial day and wish everyone a great day today as well. I am very excited b/c today is the end of the year recital/award ceremony for my daughters gymnastics class. Shes 4 so this should be soooo cute. I will be able to record her doing all her moves she has learned and watch her get her first trophy. CANNOT WAIT.
So something for me to look forward to.
have a great day everyone and again I will post today or tonight my squats. I was going to do situps b/c my knees have bothered me but just going to take it easy and see how it goes.
:happy:

jacque509

Good Morning Greenies!!
Hope eeveryone had a good weekend! Well it back to work and a new week. Like everyone else I ate more than I should have but staying active help, I did not gain I actually loss a pound so all I can stay is zig zagging works. Well hope everyone has a good day

OK back to work after a crazy busy weekend. Sounds like everyone had a lot of ups and downs. I had more ups than downs I could have eaten better but I'm not going to get down about it because I know I was under my cals with all my exercise. This weekend my son and I started some running. He wants to run a whole mile with me with out stopping So we will be doing more running tomorrow night. Can't wait. We'd do it tonight but we have t-ball.

Sorry I haven't updated the chart yet we had a broken water pipe in our basement and I was really busy trying to clean up all the water. What a mess. Glad the pipe is fixed and the water is back on and the carpet has finally dried. Well hope you all have a great day! Keep up all the great work. We still have a few days until weigh in so make the most of it.

My gym has been closed for the last 10 days to do repairs, which means I didn't have a good weekend, but I did get all of my water in for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. My son is leaving to spends 6 weeks with his bio mom on Friday. I get very depressed and lonely while he is gone. Hopefully, now that my gym is back open I'll spend a lot of time there to keep my spirits up. I love how supportive everyone is. Thank you for your encouragement.

I finally found the thread.. I stayed the same..I am so discouraged..

MissVitaVonCherry

:grumble: didn't end up doing my squats lastnight, I wasn't feeling well, and I got really sick through out the night. I might going in o the hospital today If I don't start feeling better, I look and feel like death warmed over:sad:
But I hope it all will blow over and Ill be good by tomarrow

jacque509

Astarte- every week the thread will change on Friday. So on friday look for Green Team Week 3. Don't get discourage, as you get closer to goal weight its get harder. try not to compare yourself to us biger gals. Just try to change one thing this week that might help
MissVitaVonCherry- Hope you start feeling better, take care of yourself, go to the doctor before it gets too bad, you don't want to get too dehydrated. By the way, great job on the no smoking!!:drinker:
Ammcnett-Wow, you are really special, I would be way to selfish to let my son go for more than a couple of days. thank God for people like you. He is a very lucky boy. Please call on us if you need help getting thru the next 6 weeks.:flowerforyou:
Am10484- Wow, take a breath!! you had a rough weekend with the pipes!! I wish I could get my son to go to the gym with me, he suck to it for qone week and has not been back. Have fun at T-ball, my son is starting high school next year and hope to make the baseball team. He has b-ball camp in june.

porka29

Hi missvita - I was soooo sick lastnight too. Shortly after I posted on here, I slept for about three hours. Went to bed, got a terrible fever, was sick throughout the night (fever 101) can you say fever induced dreams and sweats - ugh! I didn't feel better until about 12:30 today - which makes it about 24 hrs exactly. I hope that is all cause I culd't go through multiple days of that~

CALIECAT

Had all my water and fruit yesterday/o far today I have done good.
