Oh my, what a weekend! I slept through most of it! Saturday - B=Coffee and yogurt L=Baked potato, banana D=Chicken & Dumplins, ice cream Sunday - B=Coffee and yogurt L=Turkey wrap S=FF Tapiocca, banana D=Chicken, smashed taters, mixed veggies S=Ice cream & Herb tea Exercise = none. Lady, thanks for the tips on the clubs. I'm going to be on the look out for a cheap set. I know if I would ever just get out there and try it I will have fun! Hope all is will with everyone! ;) [color=Purple]N.O.P.E.[/color] Shari [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 597 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,947 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1791 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 61 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Hi Hummy, Ann, and Niks! Here's what I ate for lunch. I'm giving the recipe because I don't know what to call it...but it makes great leftovers. Saute some Aidell's sun-dried tomato chicken sausage. Add garlic, onion, black beans, herbs, spices, can of tomatoes, and some rice. Add whatever strikes your fancy. YUM and no fat to speak of. Plus I drank a bottle of water.

Hi Ann! This is my favorite breakfast. I buy a big tub of lowfat plain yogurt. Put some in a bowl, add cinnamon and honey, some GoLean or any kind of granola, and some berries...you can also use dried cranberries, raisins, dried berries of any kind, nuts, bananas, etc. Actually, I've been known to eat this for supper, too! It sticks with you for hours. Rusty's tip of the day: Sometimes we have problems being committed to eating healthy. It's hard when you try to bite it all off at once. But try committing to one new thing a week. Here are some ideas: 1. Nothing with refined sugar this week. 2. No white flour this week. 3. No white rice this week. 4. Add one additional fruit a day this week. 5. Add one additional vegetable a day. 6. No processed food this week, i.e. hot dogs, processed cheese, chips. 7. No fried food this week. 8. No fast food this week. There -- eight weeks worth of challenges/commitments! Rusty :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/13/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 570 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 15,973 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1995 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 78 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Lady, let us know how those Leslie dvds are! It occurred to me after you wrote that I have a couple of strength training dvds that have arm segments...I can do those with my 3 and 5 pound weights. Josie, thanks. Doc says I might be able to do the recumbent bike at the gym in about a month, if I'm very careful. Meanwhile, I don't think I'll be able to get any cardio. I also ate a piece of homemade whole wheat bread with Smart Balance and cinnamon. Yummm!

Here's a new thread to post how we're doing on our eating and exercise plans. (Daily Diet Watch 5 was getting loooong!) Due to foot surgery, I can't exercise until at least mid-August, so I've really got to pay careful attention to my food intake. So today is the day I am jumping back on the food and exercise tracking wagon. So far I've had a yogurt smoothie and coffee. I'll post the rest later.

Hummy, I know you're going to have an awesome trip! You'll be able to read the French part of the SSC when you get back! I'm doing awful on my healthy eating/exercise goals. Well, I can't exercise until the pins are out of my foot. At least two more weeks, and then I have to weight until I can get a walking shoe on my foot. My eating has generally sucked. I've been traveling a lot for my job this month (and will be for the next month). It really throws me off routine. I've gained 4 pounds back I think. I've got to get my motivation and zeal back!

Lady, good to see you still posting. I've been away for quite awhile,but check in from time to time. It's good to see familiar names. I see that you are past your one (1) year anniversary. Congratulations. I will be there as a one year member on Aug, 25th. Regarding the fit part of the discussion (as you may recall I'm still a part time fitness trainer) as with the fundamentals that went in to quitting smoking the same ones apply here for fitness or anything else we want to incorporate or eliminate. 1. Make a plan and be specific. 2. Make it a habit 3. Build in some flexibility. Like if you were scheduled to run a particular distance but had pain in your calf, you should do your weights or back off from the distance and or do some walking or stretching. Notice that one of the options was not to do nothing. 4. Be yourself. In other words do workouts or exercises that are more of an interest to you. Don't go out and try to do pole vaulting because you just read an article that shows the benefits of it. 5. Work on the things that your already good at as opposed to incorporating a lot of stuff that others say you should do Remember we are all products of habits good and bad. We need to develop them. Good luck and let me know.

This is a great way to keep track of your progress! Thanks Rusty :) Take the time to check with your doctor to come up with a plan for eating and exercise that is right for you! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
