Green Team - Week 2

got my water in today too!

if only my eating was as under control

I drank my water Friday and Saturday. Well on my way today.

I shoot for 12 - 14 cups a day because I live in a hot dry climate. It is cooler this weekend, but we've already hit 110 at least once this year.

hi Green Team!!

Sure hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend, whether off or working. Have had nice weather so far, but rain is predicted Monday....on our annual parade. :ohwell: I am about done with getting all my annuals planted, some perrenials. I love this time of year...good to see some color again! :glasses:

Ok, something has been on my mind pretty frequently here lately...and I just don't know why it is bothering me. It could be b/c of my whole new outlook on a healthier lifestyle or the changes I have made...but I feel selfish and guilty when I look back or think about how I used to eat. It bothers me that I was out of control, unhealthy....and there are people starving. How could I have taken that second, third or fourth helping, stuffed myself miserable. UGH! How many humans yearn for just one bite or a morsel of ANYTHING. It has really made me have a different relationship with food now... I never needed ALL that food and I have only myself to blame for it. It was my choice. I don't know why this is suddenly surfacing, maybe I am hormonal right now. I am just glad I can see the difference now and for those of you much younger than I, in the process of reforming your lifestyle, whether it is with food or exercise, congratulaitons on your desire to change, you are truly doing what is right for your body. don't ever give up on yourself....keep working at being healthy, one day at a time, and before you know it, days, weeks, months and years will be under your *skinnier* belt with the you that was meant to be!

anyway, sorry that was waayyy long....:noway:

jacque ~ it's ok. 1 day isn't going to ruin your efforts. weekend eating is a challenge all on it's own. that could be a challenge for many of us. i did it in the past, but have improved much now. i just treat it like a weekday, and if something comes up that i like, i just be careful and mindful. you can still have all your favorites. the more you deprive yourself of them, the worse your binge could be. my family does NOT eat healthy, and i cannot change them. but, i gotta. i just have to be this way. is there anything that you can think of that triggers this to happen...there is likely some reason....hang in there, i know you want to lose wt and with time and learning, it will happen. hey, how was the movie? i want to see the new Terminator movie!

calicat ~ how was your procedure, hope all is well. take care!

porka ~ mmmm Crystal Light! every once in a while i have some of my sons' sugar free kool aid, cherry limeade is my FAV!! my inlaws have a pool, just an above the ground. i need to do more arm exercises too. the weighted balls do me pretty good. i'm no pc help, sorry :frown:

purrr ~ 204.4....you are so near the 100's!! aren't you excited!! I AM!! i think fruits are one my favorite foods. i know some are higher in carbs than others, but a good carb. i do know if i stick to berries i feel lighter and not as bloated than with other fruits. i crave the tastes tho of bananas, apples and oranges. thanks for the k+ list, good to know. i appreciate all your knowledge you share with us! :happy: you are gonna be so HOT by summer's end! the new 'do' sounds cute, can't wait to see pics! i too donate clothes to Goodwill and Salvation Army.....ps, i am so HAPPY you are back!!!!!

I got my water in yesterday.

I did my day one of squats. Boy could I feel it.

As for what we are tracking, I would say, the initial test, final test, plus any of the intermediate tests. If y'all want, we can also post how we did on our "max" set for the last day of the week on the weeks we don't have a "test". What does everyone else think?

Hello everyone! So school is out, and summer's crazy random schedule has set in. I joined Gold's, and am really liking their classes, but it's much harder to stay motivated without my roomie counting on me to go with her. I tried body pump and my arms hurt for 3 days :laugh: :noway:

I got Wii Active, and tried it yesterday and today. I still am not sure whether I like it or not. I love the variety of exercises, but it doesn't always sense my movements when I do the strength training, so I end up stuck on 1 rep for 3 minutes.

Haven't been keeping a food log, but I somehow dropped 3 pounds! :happy: I have no idea how I did it, seeing as I ate about 8 cookies yesterday. I think it's reduced stress...

I don't know when the next time I'll be back is, but I haven't abandoned the green team! Good luck everyone!
