    hey greenies!
    Can I re-join this team? I stopped using myfitnesspal in May when I found out I was pregnant, but that went south and I am trying to be back into the swing of things as far as diet and excercise are concerned!

    welcome peachy! The more the merrier!

    Okay team....so I have just found the time to get on...sorry. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
    Hubby and I decided to cook out and invite my fam over. So I rented an inflatable water slide...(OMG that thing was the most fun) and we cooked a huge roast and I made squash casserole and baked beans and crock pot mac and cheese and just had the most fun hangin outside with my parents and sisters. Even though I hurt my shoulder while trying to go up the slide. Between laughing my *kitten* off and having had 3 mixed drinks already I was feeling great but not all that coordinated.
    IDK if there has been any real weight gain from Saturday but I had fun and will not and do not feel guilty about any of it. I am looking forward to this weekend b/c we are going camping in the mtns with one of my sisters and their kids. getting the boat from my father in law who has one on the lake up there and going tubin down the river!~ we have so much planned and cannot wait! The time away and getting to where we can relax and just do nothing is the best thing ever!!!!
    Did great on food today.....what about everyone else???

    Hey all,
    I know this summer has been rought on all of us!:grumble:
    Peachykate u know you are more than welcome back you are home!!:heart:
    Christy u need to be careful girl, mickey happen in the most unlikly places. Well hope you start to feel better.:drinker: hair of the dog to ya:wink:
    I wish I had some words of wisom for all of you, but unlike Kel and miss V i am not very articulate. So this is what I do know I work in the medical field. I been a nurse for over 20 years and now in research almost 4. I have seen alot and read alot. the last paper I read said that people who have a network of freinds or web site like this do much better then doing it on your own. medical wise every day you do one good thing to change is one day you add to your life. So I feel sometimes we focus on the negative. So as of now I think we all should try to post at least one thing we did good, better or different then the day before when ever we post. If we do this each time we can change our mind set. Now please don't think you can never complain, no that is defintly needed, cause there were times that if I didn't sound off to you guys I would have gone to jail for murder :laugh:
    So so far today I ate 3 serving of fruit and had over half of my water requirment needed for today, that already make me better then yesterday!!:flowerforyou:

    Kelly~ I just switched my work out routine up this week. M W F I will be doing all of my lifting instead of half one day and the other half the next day. I was only doing the eliptical for 60 minutes every day. I had a personal assessment done by the personal trainer at my gym and he said I need to switch things up and use the bike and the treadmill. So I am doing a walk/run for 10-20 minutes and 20-30 on the bike or the elliptical.

    Is there a link for the couch to 5k? I would be interested in looking at this program. I just bought my son a jump rope not to long ago. Maybe I'll have to use this some while he is at school.

    i am just so happy right now....the board has come ALIVE!!

    for those of you wanting the COUCH to 5K, here is the link ~ http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml. hope this helps and if not let me know. I am planning on starting it Monday August 3rd. Today I went on my planned 30 minute walk ( yes, I am walking now b/c i have not done my walk/jog for so long) anyway, at about 15 minutes, i started jogging and jogged straight for 2 minutes. SO, I know my body is still in the jogging mode...that was a good feeling.

    jacque ~ look at you go now! you are doing so good..I AM PROUD OF YOU! good idea with making daily posts on the POSITIVE!! this truly will help folks! i know i have mentioned it before, but Jacque is right! by seeing all the good in your life, your choices, the better ones, will eventually blow past and thru all your bad thoughts and in the end make you stronger....and WANT to be that thinner, healthier, happier person!

    Miss V ~ so, so GOOD to hear from you!! it's ok, many of us hear have been struggling with a lapse or two or three....you are coming here and to me that says you still care about changing your lifestyle! take some time, sort things thru. remember, this is not easy, changing our old ways....but you can do it and we are here to cheer you along and pick you up when you fall! we want success for you and every green team member there ever was!!

    PEACHYKATE!! HI!! oh, so nice you are back!! things have been kinda trickling along here....i was getting a little worried and sad that the team was falling apart. we CAN be stronger than ever, let's do it!!

    porka ~ hey there! sounds like you had a fun weekend, well, kinda :ohwell: take it easy and push the fluids ( water kind ) and go for it! been sauna like for you guys? is that normal? we have been below normal and set records recently. heard the next 3 mos are predicting below normal temps for us..:cry:

    kitn ~ that sounds awesome..the water slide! i bet that was a blast....i think that would be so much fun, adults too! a fun time ahead for you too! enjoy it!

    aml ~ sounds like your trainer is having you do some interva/ training workouts. i think those are good for increasing your metabolism and helps speed up wt loss. anyone have any comments about having a personal trainer, or even the assessments? i am curious and it might just be what i need to find out where i am physically. do they offer eating/menu advice too? keep us informed on your new routine!

    well, my day didn't go as planned, meal wise. ended up having a couple pieces of pizza and a piece of cake at my mom's planning our LV trip. have been guzzling water since....and did my walk....my good choices today would be my water and the walk. oh, and i did some free wt lifting too. tomorrow WILL be better. but on another happier note, just coming here seeing my buddies back has been a huge boost for me! love you guys! hope to see ya'll 2morrow! g'nite! :yawn:

    i think sassie told me she will be leaving LV when i arrive...she is there around the 24th i think...i leave monday the 27th.

    are any of you guys interested in having a wt chart, like previously? also, what about adding to our Green Team name. i have seen others (team names) and just wondered what everyone else thought. if not, that is fine. didn't know if any of this would help inspire or motivate us.....plz share your thoughts! have seen Beautiful Blue team, Red High Heels team....

    the waterslide was right at about $200 for 8 hrs....I got it for $100 only b/c I knew the guy and I got it based on referrals I had given him. But even though he said 8 hrs I got it for almost 24 hrs b/c he didnt pick it up will the next day around 2pm. It was TOTALLY worth it. Its one of those things that if you got a few people together you could have them all chip in and pay a little and have a big ole party. YeeHaw!
    the guy I rented from has tons of things. Inflatable jousting ring, boxing ring, sumo wrestling suits, waterslides, regular jumpies and inflatable slides. I will be renting again from him for my daughters 5th bday in October. :bigsmile:

    Yep FL has been super duper steamy and that would be normal for us was it late August, then again, guess we are close to August already - wtf? We took down our big fill up pool that everyone here saw pictures from because it got green while on vacation and since the cover became damaged, I felt it better to get a new cover and start all over, with proper chemicals, etc. The slide was sounding like a reprive............but guess I just need to fix our pool - lol.

    Names for the green team........I'll be thinkin about it, will let you know if I come up with anything. Has anyone heard from purrr??? I hope she's okay!

    Jacque~I'll put my brain to some work and see if I can think of a name.

    Kelly~I did the personal assessment at my gym. When I set it up I thought they would help build a routine I could do on my own. I didn't realize it was an assessment to hire the gyms personal trainer. I did however get some great advice. Some I already new like switching up my routine but he also gave me some different exercises that would help me get to where I wanted to be. This was offered for free at my gym. The info I got was well worth the extra hour at the gym that day.

    Porka~ sounds like you have a pool just like me :) I love my above ground pool but the maintenance gets to be a lot. Thank you for the reminder to check the chemicals in mine.

    Well I hope you all have a great day and keep moving and eating healthy. I'm off to tend to the pool and garden.

    jacque ~ you are doing so good and in control!! keep at it, one day at a time, soon a week will pass, then a month....i agree on the ads here, irritate me, but it keeps this site free!

    christi ~ i sent purrr a message last week...YES, i am worried about her. i just hope that market man is treating her nice.....she deserves it!

    aml ~ in your assessment,did you have to do situps, push ups, etc? that is my biggest fear, and having an audience! i just know it would motivate me! have fun outside!

    Miss V ~ lol, the kids....i get my share bus driving, but all ages (K-12) and 2 hrs a day...which is ENUF! :bigsmile:

    Ok so So far I think smokin hot green peppers look like it in the lead ! we have until thursday night. Do we want to do a new member alert like Smokin Hot GREEN Peppers wellcome new members? do we want to put week in or just on thursday I start a new tread. Do we still want Friday weight in or do we want to change to wed or Monday? Let have imput and we can go from there. Lets see if the car finds it way to the gym today hahahah:laugh:
