Thanks for the updates Jack.
Everyone did an excellent job this past week! There were times when I would have done anything to just stay even, so you deserve a huge kudos as well.
I hope everyone has a great week. Our gym is to crowded on Monday's, so my wife and I decided to start working out on Sunday's instead. Between the workout and day light savings change, I am plum tuckered out today.
Take Care, Hawkeye0 -

Great job everyone....I'm thankful that I just stayed even. Ate all the wrong stuff. The zoo was wonderful!!!! We have acquired 2 grizzle bears that are about 1 year old. They wrestled around and was play fighting all over the place. We were probably about 100 feet from them. There was a moat between us. I got great pictures. I think we walked about 10 miles. We were constantly moving for about 6 hours. boy, am I tired. The Grand Kids are already asleep. Hope that was enough exercise for today. I can't move another muscle.

I started taking green tea pills. Maybe that explains my loss after so long.

OK, I want to be a believer too. Please tell me how you prepare it, individual cup of hot water or brewed in a pot and chilled? Thanks!0 -

I do mine by the cup...hot... Every morning when I get to work (or at home on week-ends) I fix a cup of hot green tea. Drink it efore any coffee or my breakfast shake. We have a hot water dispenser at work, so I just put the bag in the cup, fill it with hot water and let it brew a few minutes and then enjoy.
Then at night I fix me a cup ( I have a "hot shot" it is where you can heat a cup of water at a time.) the same way, and enjoy while relaxing before bed.
I am no genious or anything but that is all I can figure that has happened. Because as I said, I have not been "that" good! I am going to curves from 4-5 times during the work week and then take the week-ends off. I burn about 300-400 calories each time. So I don't think it is the work outs!0 -
Evening all!!!! Well.....my dh and I just went to the stadium and attempted the first day of C25K. I made it 15 minutes.......As I have said I am no runner. I don't want to burn myself out, so we stopped there and will try again on Wednesday. Our plan is to do Mon, Wed & Frid. I hope I can make it. I was pooped, and was having a hard time breathing be the end of what we did. I need to build myself up slowly or I will just say "forget it". I know me too well!!!
All you other runners....good for you!!!! I can see how it could be addicting, so I am not giving up!!!
Our youngest son (14) just laughed at us as we come in the door.....What is that old saying...."If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself when I was young!!!!" AMEN!!!
Have a great evening all!

I brew mine in a cup. Boil water to just boiling, pour in cup, let tea bag sit for 2 mins. That is what I read online, so that is how i do it. I am a firm believer in it. I have dropped 5 pounds since I started drinking 2 cups a day.0 -
Well just got home from step aerobics and burned 689 cals. Will do W3D3 of C25K tomorrow morning hopefully. Then son has playschool from 1-3, then skating from 5-545 in Foam Lake. Will be a busy day. Still have loads of books to do. I think I will work on some and watch House in 10mins. Hope everyone had a good day.0

Good morning team...The sun is shining here and it is going to be a beautiful day. I made it to the running trail last night for 30 minutes and then did the 30 Day Shred DVD. I still haven't caught up on the hour I lost, funny how that makes me so tired for a couple of weeks. Today is gym day, gotta squeeze it in between work. Have a great day.
Ann and Renae...Thanks. I'm going to get some today and will give it a try. I lost about five pounds in January and haven't really moved since. I need a boost!
Susan...Have a fun and safe trip!0 -
Good morning all! Not much news here except it is suppose to be gorgeous today, & tomorrow, not bad on Thursday, and then back to the toilet on Friday and Saturday.
Have a busy day at work, so I guess I better get going! Have a great one everyone!0 -

Only reason I run is because it is an efficient calorie burn. I have been doing it for close to 5 months, and I don't like doing it anymore now than when I started. It does get easier, but I would never say I actually enjoy it.. I do over 3 miles every time I run now, but I have no desire to ever actually run in a 5k or any other type of race. With that said, there are many that really enjoy it, they say it relieves stress, focuses their mind, makes them feel good. I am just not one of those people0 -
Good morning everyone!! What a beautiful day it is here!!!!! I love hot springy weather, too bad that I can't get outside and go walking due to my knee but I might go outside and sit on the porch or something. Yesterday was not a good day for me. I was in a lot of pain so what do I do EAT!!!!!!! I need to get out of that and it is harder than just saying that I need to get out of that. I am determined that today is going to be a great day with my eating. I know that I can do this!!!!!!!!!!0

Good Morning to everyone......Have a cup of coffee on me:drinker: .... It's 44 degrees outside and cloudy....Another word gloomy.....what a drag. Going to make the most out of today. Grand kids are so bored that Trey offered to cut the grass with a pair of scissors....:bigsmile: ....of course I told him no! Seem to be off schedule today and haven't eaten breakfast. I really want to skip it, but can't.
Ann - I tried to watch Castle last night, but kept getting interrupted with phone calls. I sounds like a great show.
Say a little prayer today.....DH has an interview at 10am for a job. One of our friends said to come in and fill out app and the job is his. We've been unemployed for 1 year now. It's tough out there. Thank God we are not in debt and have no credit card debt. It's amazing what you can live on when you have to.
Off to much of nothin"

I went outside for awhile and it was great. However for some reason I can't get it together when it comes to food, I end up eating to much. I will not let that stop me from trying though.0 -

Laura...I go over on my cals a lot of days. Some days I have to exercise again just to come out even. I love to eat!0 -
Evening team...I made it to the gym today for about a 600 calorie burn. Hubs and I went for a 1-1/2 mile walk earlier today. It was so beautiful I just had to get outside. Hope you all have a good night.
Ann and Renae...I tried my first cup of green tea and can't say that I like it. Is it an acquired taste or did you just love it right away? I added a little Splenda and it still tastes yucky. I got the Lipton mixed berry flavor. Maybe it will grow on me.0 -

Well.....I got just the LIpton plain old "green" tea (no flavors) AND.....I'm almost entirely Scotish..My maternal grandparents nationalized from Scotland..:) We like our tea!!! It is definately a different taste than the regular tea. I don't know about the flavored ones though. Sorry you didn't like it? You can get the green tea pills and gum as well. I don't know how well those work though. Give it a couple of tries. 0 -
Good morning all! okay....so the scale was not so kind this morning. It showed up 2 lbs. I guess I better start being better about the foods that go in my mouth. I haven't been really bad, but just a chocolate here and there or ice cream!!!! SHOOT!!!!
Am going to be in a meeting all morning so will not be eating then!!! However, I have to drive an hour to it and from it! I did bring my grapes and my almonds to keep me tied over!!! Hopefully that will work!
Everyone have a great Wednesday and HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!!!! I'm mostly Scotch but have some Irish in me as well!!
Talk to you soon,
Ann0 -
Tammy - I have the no flavor stuff that I usual drink (Uncle Lee's Lemen Green Tea). I did not like the taste right away, but it has grown on me. I did buy a small pack of the one you have, but have only tried one cup of it so far.
Have lots of books to do today, and it is suppose to be nice here, 10C for a high. But man does that make the yard a snowy mud hole. At least the kids will have fun getting dirty.
Will be going to step aerobics tonight (as long as hubby gets home in time for me to go).
Ann, I hope your meetings go well, and Tammy W2G with the burn last night.0 -
Good Morning to everyone:drinker: ....Off and running with the kidooos. We are going on a tour of the Governor's Mansion today. I've never been there myself, so am looking forward to going.
No word on the job yet...2 1/2 hour interview. I think he's got it. Just don't know about the pay yet. Keeping fingers crossed.
Everyone exercise hard and sweat. I still can't walk right without limping. My calves are still hurting.
