Nothing for me today either. Running tomorrow...

B'fast~ oatmeal, 1 oz nuts Lunch~ 1/2 of a ham & cheese wrap (made with a LC tortilla), 1/2 c green peas Snack~ graham crackers and cream cheese Dinner~ 1/2 of a WW broccoli and cheddar roasted potatoes meal, 1/2 a small can of chicken

I've heard several people on the board talk about DaVinci Gourmet sugar free Syrup and I finally found some yesterday. This stuff has no calories, no carbs, no fat...just 10 mg of sodium per 2 tbsp. I got the vanilla and kahlua flavors. I used some in my coffee this morning and it was pretty good. Just wondering if anyone could share some creative ways to use it, other than coffee. In greek yogurt maybe?

I haven't been able to find the caramel flavor yet. I got them from walmart. The only ones I saw were vanilla, kaluah (sp?), and raspberry. I'll look again next time I go.

I think your hubby is right! You need a day of rest. There will be plenty of other races after you heal from surgery. And just think how much easier running will be without the loose skin.

I would love to train with either as well, especially Jillian. I'm sure that would be a workout I wouldn't forget, lol. I've thought about doing the trainer thing at the YMCA, but I don't think I could afford it right now. I would love to have someone to answer to....that would be great motivation.

I ran today. Did a 5K...well, I ran most of it. Took me about 40 minutes. I'm totally wiped!! Not sure what I will do tomorrow yet....

Whosya~ LMBO at your "subliminal" message! LOL. Nice picture...you are looking pretty hot yourself!! Renewed~ OMGosh...A 10K! You go!! I'm wishing you lots of luck tomorrow. Turler~ I think the treadmill is best to start with too. Like I said, don't worry about your speed. You could start at 4.0 mph or lower if you need to. I've been running for a little while now and I probably only run at 4.5 mph. Good luck!! Well, the bottom of my running shoes are black, but I found a small white space on both shoes and wrote "cancer" on them with a fine point sharpie. I love that idea and it really worked. I thought of it when I wanted to quit today and it kept me going. I did a whole 5k today. Still did not run the whole thing, but I did finish in about 40 minutes. I feel like I should be running the whole thing by now. I know I could probably go farther on the treadmill, but the walk trail is hilly in several spots, so I'm sure that makes a difference. I'm just ready to run the whole thing darn it!!

SillyGoose~ I just saw in your signature that you have been smoke free for 6 days, 15 hours. Congrats and good for you!!

You are right....wishful thinking I guess, lol. I get orange guy and brown guy mixed up. I don't really like either one, but I do really like Heba! Brown girl...not so much.

Today: B'fast~ 4oz orange juice Snack~ weight control oatmeal (banana nut bread) Lunch~ WW pineapple teriyaki beef meal, 3 triscuits Snack~ pink grapefruit, kashi cherry dark chocolate bar Dinner~ sauteed shrimp, grean peas, 2 triscuits

I'm with ya'll on Jillians team. Purple girl got on my last nerve! If I had to pick a favorite from Jillians team, I would say Colleen (yellow girl). And from Bob's team...Heba (just by a slight margin over the red team). I haven't liked brown from the beginning, so I wasn't disappointed when he left. Can't wait to see what twist happens next week, lol. I wonder if they are going to split everyone up or switch trainers on them???

Thanks for all you do for us Alex!! Have a wonderful birthday!!

WTG Kathy!! Wonderful!! Sounds like ya'll are having a wonderful day. Wish your hubby happy birthday for me! I am feeling a tad under the weather today (sinus junk), but I am still going to run. I can't afford to miss a run day if I want to be ready for the 5K.

Positive for me today: I'm very proud of myself for staying on track yesterday!! It motivates me to do it again today.

WOW, you look great!! Congrats!!

WTG Renewed!!

Renewed~ Have a great day!! Fanny~ Welcome back! Sounds like you are doing fantastic!! Just be careful and don't over do it! Glad to have you back! Turler~ Very cool shoes! I'm gonna have to get a new pair around Christmas. Do they have the nike+ system chip?? I started out running outside, then switched to the treadmil, mainly because it was so flippin' hot here. I just recently switched back to running outside and I love it! The weather has been really nice here in the evenings. I find the treadmil to be boring after running outside. Don't worry about speed. Go as slow as you need to go. I don't run very fast. I focus more on endurance for now. Good luck to you!

Thanks Apples! I don't really have many before pictures. When I saw that one, I was shocked! I don't even remember looking like that, lol. Anyway, thanks!

abc~ Congrats! Glad the scale was your friend this time. Share your secret because I think mine is mad at me
