    jacque...I wanted to let you know that Friday saturday and sunday i hit my fruit servings. Monday the 18th not so much but did it yesterday (19th) I am set. The 18th I did do 1 serving but thats all. :ohwell:
    Plan on keeping it going the rest of the week and even from here on out. I have really enjoyed getting in my servings of fruit b/c it has really helped me with my sweets craving.

    Girl, my mango tree has been my nemisis thus far this year, however it has kept me outside since I'm attempting to fix up my back yard and spend more time outside. Which I do very little of since I'm in S. fla and it's soooo hot. With that said, I'm trying and attempting to decide what to do with them all (see my post in Food and Nutrition) besides give out to the neighbors. I think the food bank will be a priority if I continue to get good ones on the level I'm getting now - to the tune of at least 20 non-broken ones per day and most pretty ripe.

    Where I live, volunteers from the food bank will even come pick your fruit for you. Might want to check into it for FL.

    Hey everyone...wanted to just let you all know about something that may or may not interest you.
    I have always wanted to be able to more with my Calisthenics and I saw on another forum on here about the site www.twohundredsquats.com

    Its a 6 week program you do 3 times a week that helps you be able to eventually do 200 squats or you can do the situp program to do 200 situps or 100 push ups.
    This is just something I plan on adding as something to do at home especially on days I cant get to the gym. Thought some of you might be interested. Seems fun.


    Everyone have a great day!!!

    I have seen different groups surface every now and then on here that are for that. I always want to join them but think but I end up procrastinating and forgetting until it surfaces again. I really want to do all three. I think we should start it as a bonus challenge for those who want to.

    Well I got my 2 servings of fruit in yesterday. Boy was it hot here. We shattered our old record high of 87 and hit 97 degrees yesterday. Too hot for me to get any motivation to go to the gym or go walking. I did however spend my whole night outside doing some yard work. Today is supposed to be 94 and windy so I am determined to make it to the gym tonight.

    Porka~mmmm.........mango's are one of my favorite fruits. I just eat them raw. I'm not sure what else to do with them. They are a pain to clean tho.

    Shannon~I know finals can be really stressful. But hey they are done and you survived. I am sure you did great on them. I am also very glad to hear your back is better.

    Sassie~Happy Birthday. WTG with quitting smoking. Did you use the patch or anything or did you just quit cold turkey?

    Kellya~I think it was you that asked about excercise routines. I pretty much just go with the flow. If I have a babysitter to watch my son I will hit the gym and get a pretty intense 2 hour cardio workout in. Otherwise my son and I do alot of walking and are starting to bike together. We have been very busy with yard work now now that it has warmed up. So lots of low intensity movement. Part of this Journey for me is to teach my son how important eating right and excercising is. He is so cute in trying to understand healthy food vs not healthy food. I want to break this cycle.

    MissHeidi~WTG with getting your water in. This is a big challenge for a lot of people.

    MXBURKE~Welcome to the Green Team.

    Hey thanks...No I got hypnotized believe it or not. 7 days after I quit my fiance went and got hypnotized....now he has quit also!!!!!!!!!!! Cold turkey didn't work and neither did the patch...and amazingly hypnosis did. And also amazing....I didn't gain weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope all is well!

    i like the idea of it being a challenge as well. I am starting this one tomorrow so as to get through the night from being so sore from yesterdays step class :sad:
    But doing the squats and push ups at the same time. i want to get my upper body toned b/c I have NO muscle.
    I think I can do both but if not I will just do squats.
    I will be posting my success and failings as I post my other daily updates.
    I have had 1 banana today and will have an apple before bed.
    Hope everyone else is having a great day and have a great night too!!!

    Okay - CONFESSION - after I got all motivated being on here a long time lastnight, since I didn't get to the gym this morning, I was really dragging my heels getting there at all. BF got up to start getting ready this evening, I got really pissy with him - to the tune of "why can't you ever finish any projects you start around this house rather than hounding me about the gym" - yikes! This is quite unusual for me and I just got new shoes. So, to prove (:laugh: ) I do things when I say them, I went and had a good cardio work out and also apologized to him for being so snippy, making "the face" as we call it :tongue: . Love the new New Balance shoes and I feel so much better - funny how I can get down in the dumps so fast some days - my personality REALLY isn't normally like that - maybe hormonal!!!

    With that said, I made dinner, decided to cut up all those mangos I've been hanging onto of which I have not yet given away. I cut up two full Publix bags (those things are hard to cut up without mutilating them) and froze them, which equalled out to 2 1 quart bags and I ate at least one whole one while doing the cutting - so double fruit for today!

    Thanks to you all for listening to my mini rant and I will be joining this squat thing. Right now I am doing 30-45 minutes cardio (usually stationary bike at different levels) and not much else other than stretching so I will do some squats in the warm up section now. Yayy, sounds motivational!
