Edmonton. Been away from this a while. Looking for some new support people to keep me on track.

Edmonton!! Add away!

I don't eat 'breakfast' either when I wake up. I typically wait a couple hours into the day then have plain greek yogurt with some added honey and fruit and a piece of toast with peanut butter. Seems to work for me. I also tend to have a similar snack in the evening however as going long periods without for isn't great.

Not really sure how boiling water changes its qualities....if anything it purifies its more by killing bacteria. The caffeine in tea can be a diuretic and therefore eliminate water from your body. I would not count it is water intake. I am trying to avoid caffeine to avoid the spikes in alertness and help with proper…

I'm on the comeback too. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Feel free to add me.

This is the one that Costco offers??

Stick it with it. Log your food and exercise, and be honest about it - the numbers won't lie about the results.

Looks like you have made your pick. I am at Millenium, for 41.50 a month and that gives me everything, as well as access to other scona faiclities. I have the whole family of five signed up for $114 a month. It has been busy there as of late, kind of chose my time to go wisely, its not so much the gym thats busy but rahter…

^ re: item 2 - tell that to the three people driving cars my PICKUP truck has pulled out of the snowbank this winter. They were more than gracious I had a truck. Keep your cars for summer ..... oh wait trucks can pull the summer toys to the lake.

1. quickly becoming a minority - someone born and raised and still working in Edmonton 2. I don't like change, but relaize it is usually for the good, and accept some 3. I've been at this for just over a year, highs - lows and plateus - I am still here and proud to have at least maintained.

Well lets give them something to talk about...............

Just curious about the other gyms around town if they are all extremely busy? I started my gym routine jsut over a year ago, and was quite happy about how NOT busy my gym was (Millenium place), but ever since this summer it has been jam packed it seems. I know there are lots of other options constantly opening os it…

By far not an expert here, but I would think you get enough minerals form other sources if not in your water. I have a distiller at home and pretty much all I drink is distilled water. I clean it once a year and am disgusted by what is removed from the city water.

So did it happen? How did it go?

Dress warm - invest in good winter clothes and things are much more enjoyable. Get out of the house as much as you can as early into winter as you can (don't stop from summer or fall) - your body will climatize to it easier. Skating, skiing (down and x country), tobogganing. I like going for walks in the park - you get the…

What is it? where and when?

Don't go home???? I think we all struggle at home knowing there is all that good food in the fridge and pantry. I try get out and do something right after supper - whether is be the gym or just tinkering in the garage, it distracts me until my bed time snack. Worst thing I do is turn on that damn TV! One other trick is…

Rundle Park - has all the amenities, doesn't get too busy, and doesn't get overrun or shutdown for festivals or special events. Best of all simple for me to access right across the street!! Best Edmonton summer activity - NOT festival or sport team related.

If it's a morning workout I have a Cliff Bar on the way to the gym. Evneing workouts are after supper so yes i eat ebfore them too. I have taken to eating 5 smaller meals per day usuallly within four hours of each other. My workouts typically take 2 to 2.5 hours, so I knid of have ot eat before them. Always eat after them…

This kind of stalled out and sincce I don't drink coffee I can't suggest any sorry. Best public viewpoint to watch the Canada day fireworks?

I am not much of a hiker, but I have heard good things about Whitmemud creek. Best festival - the one you (not the kids) look forward to attending each year?

I do a whole lots more staring than stairing. I might suggest the ones below Concordia University, they are well shaded and not that busy with full time exercisers on them like the Glenora or Mac Hotel ones. Favourite summertime people watching location.

If oyu can't find anyone on here - you might want to visit your nearest Running Room, I believe they have jogging groups that go out nightly.

Yes this is possible. I did have a similar issue but I beleive mine was more due to removing the 'super' sweeteners that are in all the 'diet' drinks. I have eliminated all crytal light, and severly cut my pop (diet and regular) consumption -down to 1 can/drink per week. Massive difference in food cravings now. Sleep is…

Back to reality! The weekend is forecast to be back to above normal, lets hope so!

Just try me...... I know oyu weren't there last night as the place was like a ghost town. Everyone else out enjoying hte beatiful evening.

I just started using 'energy' bars and bought Cliff bars form Costco. They taste alright, and I defitnatley notice the energy they give me and lasts a couple hours at least. The are just under a dollar each. I didn't find many that were true 'proein' bars, most were also high in carbs / sugars. Look forward to hearing…

A couple years back I was driving out of my community at a lower than posted speed limit and a person was walking their dog across the street from their house in a park. As I approached Islowed even more. The dog literally jumped in front of my truck to corss the street to get back home. The owenr watched in horror. Dog…

Pictures of your kitty and its chaffing may help us provide a viable solution!

I am stuck working this week, so its pretty much the usual routine for me. I did notice the gym was a lot more popular the other night, not sure what the reasoning was for that.
