    .4 loss! You will think you will lose so much weight after fasting 16 hours, I guess not. I'm observing fasting for the whole month of August from 4:00am to 8:00pm nothing to eat and drink in between. So no exercise for me as I have to conserve my energy during the day time. I cancelled my session with the trainer yesterday as i could barely walk. So Good luck to my team mates and the rest of the group.

    YEAH! Does this mean I get to pick a challenge?

    My challenge is two fold::
    Everyone find/post a meaningful/inspirational site other than this one. I'll start with two.

    www.greenmonstermovement.com Recipes for spinach and fruit shakes galore and it's what got me eating spinach. You wouldn't believe the energy...and nail and hair growth! I was challenged by a friend, who is a holistics consultant to try it. YUCK I thought...spinach and banana? But I tried it and LOVED it.

    www.stumptuous.com Lady weight lifter with a blog. This woman is amazing!

    2nd everyone SLOW DOWN (Gasp! I know, right?) SLOW DOWN for 5 or 10 min a day and think about all the wonderful ways you are blessed and all you have accomplished. :bigsmile:


    THUS endeth the challenge

    OK, so honestly haven't checked it out yet, but going to be learning a lot more about it in the upcoming weeks with the program I am joining locally, so thought I'd go ahead and share it. Actually in my program, I will be receiving the book too... Tosca Reno's "Clean Eating", here's the website:

    http://www.eatcleandiet.com/

    Also a site to help track your exercise by type, distance and time - I found through another friend... www.dailymile.com

    Thanks for this challenge - I find my 5-10 minutes when everyone else is sleeping, so much more peaceful then :happy:

    My weight was a little down this morning so I'm cautiously optimistic this plateau is over. Is it boring for me to recommend active.com? I love it. I liked it on Facebook and I get awesome articles on my home page. The other is coolrunning.com. It's a great resource if you ever want to take up running.

    No one is kicking you off our team. ( Green ) We can use all the help we can get.

    Great news you are down. I will wait a few days to weigh in still hoping I
    go down a bit more.

    By the way, I have been consuming the Green Monsters for some time. Spinach,
    Blueberries, banana, whey powder, Silk Vanilla Light Soy milk. That's the way
    I get my spinach in too. I love the taste.

    Okay Green Team only a few weeks left to get our butts in gear.

    Good Luck to all !!

    Corn Roast on Saturday night, no big deal.
    I can pick and choose.

    There is a Peach Festival in Town on Saturday during the day.
    I will do some walking although I am experiencing some pain
    in the top of my leg, I think I pulled a muscle. I will try and walk
    tonight if I can.

    I will be at the boat this weekend so I will not be logging in.

    My weight is back down again I was hoping to log in tomorrow for
    the weight but no can do.

    I will try hard to drink my water and walk as much as I am able.

    Not exercising today but I do have a lot to do before I leave today.

    Soooo, I guess I will give my weight my Monday as best as I can.
    Sorry, team I am usually not home on the weekends to try and be
    disciplined. We shall see what Monday brings.

    Keep up the hard work, do your best !!!!
