Nice! Count me in... Consider slight mods to diet as well...drink more water in your day (...and no, water with hops does not count :drinker: and add a salad per meal (light on the dressing - if needed - just enough for taste), ............................

As one coming back on, please don't be too hard on yourself. You're a wife and a mother of three...and that takes time, energy, cheerleading, time-management, and a host of other life coaching skills. The main thing is while balancing your commitments, to gingerly add what you can with your time and energy remaining.…

Hang in there flair! Two quick thoughts to help in making it a "Good Day": 1. Try to think through what was the emotional and intellectual cause, or state (situation), you were in (this is important to identify what pushes your self-control buttons) that pushed you past your limits ;-) 2. Try to experiment with fun foods…

Hang in there Blossy! Truth is, something is wrong with the way this is set up from a employee longevity standpoint. Not sure of the title, Badd Karma...but, let's try to get around that ;-) You can get around this through snack-bars, dried fruit, health shakes. A simple homemade snack to keep in your bag is a ziplock with…

Hang in there! Do your best...and set your sights on being your best for today and tomorrow ;-) Keep in mind there's lots you can do inside during the rain...just by keeping up on website exercises. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY2xNqYvFmE If you can, use the MFP tools daily, and love the burn! Cheers! :drinker: Coach

I like hopeitworks response. When sore I usually try to walk it off, do something light, to get the muscles to relax and blood to get going. Also try to bring in some solid stretching to really get those muscles to relax. This works for weight lifting...or playing in Soccer Tourneys :wink: Coach PS> Also consider just…

Splurged today! Two multi-grain Toast Two eggs One cup coffee WooHoo...ready to go this AM! :drinker:

Thanks Aisha! Thanks for sharing on your Blog...a couple items from this old codger... 1st. Beauty really is only skin deep. As a Coach, I've witnessed the beautiful and ugly side of people, and I'll share one of many observations: It's the person behind the eyes that determine if they really are a beautiful person*…

Been away for a while recouping a bum knee operation, and work overload during these economically worsening times....so...how's this crew doing? :flowerforyou: I've restarted being dedicated to getting my rump roast out of bed at 0500 to get to the gym. Man, was it tough this Morning...but I did it!!! Hope all is going…

Yeah...I'm hip. Not easy...but I do agree that there is a correlation in your heart rate. Let's try the following sites: http://exercise.about.com/cs/cardioworkouts/l/aa022601a.htm http://www.naturalphysiques.com/tools.php?itemid=2 Hope that helps! Cheeers!!! :drinker: Coach

Hey...hang in there. I just came out of a very stressful work effort (due to the economy), and knee surgery. I look and feel blach! But...we get back up, and start over again. You've got a great spirit about you...and that's what counts anyway...the person behind the eyes. So...stay the course, keep trying, never give up,…

I'm in! I normally only focus on Breakfast and Lunch...now I'll add dinner! Thanks!

Enjoy! Cheers! :drinker:

It's tough to do...but don't try to do too much in the A.M. Take a stab at a set of exercises that will get you going in less than 30 mins. There's more than enough 10 min video references; or, make up your own. You get the calories burning, and you get a good dose of energy for your day. Also, don't underestimate your…

Hey CM13! Hang in there. I encourage your efforts, requesting you please keep open to learning new things here, as there are a lot of really good insights shared, and even college bred and professional counsel that's provided. I know for me, I've added more rigor in eating lightly 1-2 hours before working out, then eating…

I would list it under aerobic, and make a name for your interval training. I do think for the most part you'll find the intervals of running, swimming, and calisthenic exercises, in that grouping...then all you have to do is list out your times ;-) For the resistance training, hmmm...you may want to post that in there as…

Well...as one thought to deal with shins, simply sit on the floor (preferably carpeted ;-), on your knees with the bottoms of your feet face up (so the tops of your feet are facing the floor. Now, place your hands alongside your feet, and begin to lean back...working the hands back, until you feel the stretch on your…

One Soccer stretch would be to get into a standard push up position, and place one foot behind the other, and while focusing on the one foot remaining on the ground, gently push back the heal (slowly) backward as far as you can. i like that stretch a lot. I also push forward, then push my heal back again a little bit…

Wow...hmmm...I may be interested in this. I did 300 today, with a number of trunk twists in between. More later on this as I'm seriously considering this. Thanks! :drinker:

I think that in a gym with multiple folk, you're correct in being polite. I'm a bit disappointed in Men that have forgotten what chivalry and good sportsmanship mean. Be patient, and keep the communications open with these guys, as they can learn how to be nicer (sigh... it's tough being a guy sometimes when I hear this…

Thanks for sharing this. You are so on the right track. Stay above any negative attitudes of jealousy, and stay focused on your efforts to be your best! Nothing worth having comes easy...it takes work...and work takes a positive attitude and strength :happy:

I think I'm guilty of at least two; if not three, at the same time... Sorry, I confess try a nice piece of chocolate while being totally exhausted from an exhausting and stressful week, and tying it off with the wine tasting ...then climbing into bed to crash. .....ahhhhhh......
-
Wow! I fully agree with Breezy's flossing technique! It does work...as I too don't want to ruin that work :happy: After dinner, try a filler dessert like yogurt with granola with blueberries and strawberries. It's great! Also, keep in mind that air popping popcorn works as a nice snack. I just made up in a shaker nutmeg,…

Thanks Ammannisto on the knee surgery question (below), and to you SaraRojo on your well wishes! Great job Dvross & MissLissa on the soda drop!!! :drinker: Nice job DVorross on the soda! So, about the knee surgery. I had two small lumps removed. One was a cyst, the other was a fatty deposit. The Fatty deposit is very…

Ugh...I can't do any leg exercises as I have another week to wait from surgery! The temptation to eat is great...and I know that I don't need the food as I've more than enough hit my daily requirements. I'll keep you posted on exercises that I've done to that may be a solution for those of use in the >200 Club for upper…

Morning OMWTS! Well, if you are definitely a Morning person, then I'd suggest joining a Group on the Motivation/Support Community tab. They can be a support for you. I just signed up for the 200 lbs. Community Group :happy: Have a great experience with the MFP! :drinker:
-
Excellent! Thanks! I usually focus on DV percentages...this is more helpful. Thanks Again! :drinker:
-
I really like the first three objectives...that 4th one is going to naturally follow I am enjoying the MFP and I've found my will power has been strengthened in me from the memories of encouraging words from this group of people. I hope you find a positive experience with the MFP. Keep us posted on your progress and…
