Hey guys.... I posted a thread but I would like to ask for your insight as well:
I have found that I get hungry and need to eat every 2 - 3 hours (my stomach gets queasy).
I am new to eating every couple hours which is causing me to over eat! I want to start eating 5 to 6 small "meals" throughout the day. I am a runner training for a half marathon in October and need some ideas on what to have in my small meals that have protien.
I also find that I am eating junk calories (non protien) for my three main meals. If you have a good idea for lunch or dinner meals that don't take much preporation that would be helpful too.
Thanks in advance everyone!!!0 -
Just completed:
20 globe jumps
10 split squat jumps
3 sets of 21's
2 sets of 15 swimmers presses
100 more jumping jacks.
I owe:
10 split squat jumps
40 zig-zag jumps
50 jumping jacks
400 crunches
4.5 miles
Will try for more later, but that wore me out, so no promises! And my legs are bothering me from all the leg work I've been doing in the past 2 days!
Oh, and one of my friends wants to know if there is room on our September team for her! Are we all full yet? Or is there space for one more??0 -

@SarahRuth - yes, we can take one more person. Caza is not going to be able to be with us in Sept after all. Let me know her name so we can all "friend" her. I haven't had a chance to look at that yet, but from what I understand - you take the 4 measurements, but you don't have to give them to me. Give me the body fat % . Let me know if that doesn't make sense to you.
@Musky - since your message about your daughter was last night at 9pm, that baby must surely be here by NOW!! Congratulations!! Let us know how mama and baby are doing!!!!
@maureendonahue - I'm praying for you my friend that that hurricane doesn't come through where you are..... please keep us posted and let us know you are ok!!
@Congratulations to Song2Sing and walkingingrace - they have both completed all of the daily challenges early!! Now just a few more for the team challenges and you will be done (well, until Monday!! )
I'm travelling to Pittsburgh tomorrow to see the Steeler vs. Falcons football game!! I'm sooo excited! We are not spending the night, so we have that 3 hour drive back home after the game, so I doubt I will be on until sometime Sunday. But do what you can and post it and I promise I will catch up!!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!
The thread to start the September Challenge has already been posted. I've already posted some information there. Check it out and be sure to "bump" it so that you can find it easily later. Remember that we will stay with THIS THREAD through Monday and Tuesday (and Wednesday is a REST DAY!)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!0 -
Body fat calculator gave me 26%. Which doesn't seem right to me, but that's what it said. lol
My friend who wants on our September team is jmanthei98. So excited she gets to join us next month!!0 -
I got my water in and was under calories (a bit low today but was barely under several times this week.). Did my 55 ab crunches (darn things are getting to be a habit!) then put away propane tanks, grills, spare tires, trash barrels and anything else that might fly around the yard.
Tomorrow we are going to the Kenny Chesney concert (with Zac Brown!) so will be singing and dancing the afternoon/evening away. Then we will hunker down and wait for the hurricane. Hopefully, we won't lose power (or at least not for too long!)
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
