T.H.E. Team (Trying Hard Everyday) Week 43 Open to everyone

Crazybee, I think if people count their Crystal Light as water (I don't), you can definitely count green tea. Green tea with nothing added is probably a lot better for you than all the fake junk in Crystal Light (namely aspartame and artificial colors).

Folks say "well, if I ate the packet of CL and drank the water, it would count, so mixing the pack with water should count, too." Yeah, well with that logic, if I ate soda syrup and drank the carbonated water, the carbonated water would count as water so soda should count as water. I'm pretty sure, however, that most of those same people counting Crystal Light would agree that sugary soda (or even a diet soda) does not count as water intake.

I personally only count water as water. I don't have any problems drinking 80+oz/day of plain water. HOWEVER, 24oz of green tea is absolutely FANTASTIC when the alternative is soda or sugary juice or nothing at all, so great job! :flowerforyou: And if I were in your shoes, I'd count it as water, too.

Good morning all.
Hope you are having a great week. I am puting up the Christmas stuff today. Which consists of many trips up and down a latter and lifting lots of boxs. I have to pack up about 6 18 gallon tubs of knick nacks to put ut all the Xmas goodies (three day process) I am wishing this could count as exercise :huh: I keep saying I am going to scale back but the hubsand my Daughter say " AHHH that thing has to be out and this thing has to be out :sad: ITS NOT Christmas without it" So this year I am doing it while they are not home. I have a bet with myself that they will never miss what I did not put out :devil: Hope you all have a great day.

Hey ya'll,

I can't wait for next week to be here. It is the end of double choir rehearsals! The kids at school went crazy when we had freak snow in the morning yesterday (I'm in TX). They are already dreaming about Christmas break though they just got back from thanks giving. Over all things here are good. Didn't do as much as I wanted exercise wise this week but I have to be really careful this time of year that I don't run myself into the ground. I think it will simmer down after Christmas vacation. i hope that all of you are enjoying the season. My kids at school went crazy when I put up Christmas lights, mind you these are high school students. I guess I just forget how young they really are sometimes. Well got to get ready for the day.

Hey gang. I've been out and about the past few days. I'm kinda nervous about tomorrow. I went to Outback this week with my boyfriend and we celebrated our three year anniversary. I did okay. I didn't go all out, but I know I went over. I had the Filet and stuffed shrimp along with a salad and some bread. It was soooo good. I nibbled on a bloomin onion but I didn't eat too much because of my acid reflux but I prepared myself with meds before and I was ok. We've been out with friends and doing stuff so I've been active for the most part. I worked today so I might be okay tomorrow... I tried to get in as much extra walking today as I could. That's it for now, gotta run. I'll check back in tomorrow.

Good luck gals

Hi ladies,
I'm struggling with knee pain this week (I started interval training a few weeks ago for a 5k). I haven't been able to walk or run for exercise since last Saturday. I'm feeling better today so I think tomorrow I may be able to run again. We'll see.

Anyway, with most of my usual exercise unavailable to me, I focused on my diet/nutrition this week. It worked, though I lost a lot less than I have for the last couple of weeks.
