Carol... I had lost track on what interval I was on and just went by the tones. When I had been running for so long -- and just about dying in the process, good 'ol Steveboy came on to say it was done... so I had run through the cool down! So the next run I made sure I knew how many intervals I had and I counted them down so when that last interval came on I just kept walking. Good luck!

Mac... I noticed on your ticker that you are so close to your goal weight! Congrats!

We haven't been talking much about the Nike+ challenge lately, kind of fizzelled I think for some of us... but the team challenge ended yesterday. Here's the results! Sorry for this Whosya... but the Hotties won!!!! Small victory, as it took about 5 of us to just 1 Whosya!!! Seriously, congrats to everyone!

There is only one challenge left ... maybe we need to start another one.

I'm near my goal, but I think I won't lose this week. Sigh.

I finally got my Nike+, but I was not sure how to get in on the challenges. I would love to participate - any extra motivation is good for me!

Ok... let's start another challenge... any suggestions? Teams or individual. I personally like the shorter challenges, like maybe two weeks, especially since the other one is a longer term challenge.

Let me know your thoughts and then PM me your email address and I'll set one up to start tomorrow!!

DH and I ran yesterday together. We did the race route for our April 5th 5k that we're running. OMG... it's hilly!!! I usually run in my neighbourhood or at another park and neither have many hills. This route seemed to be up and down constently! I'm going to have to train a bit on this one, more than just running distances. Plus, the race usually has about 2000 people (not all doing 5k, some do 10k and some do 1/2), but the path is rather narrow, so I can imagine its going to get a bit bunched up, and its an out and back, so being slower than most, I'm going to see all the fast people go by me and its probably going to get a bit tight! Ohhh I'm nervous on this one.

Hey everyone. I am on the 3rd day of the P90X and let me just say, it is kick butt hard. I am not goign to join the current challenge. Until I get used to this P90X thing I won't even be walking unless I have to. LOL It really isn't that bad. I really like it, but I am sore in places I didn't even know I had. I think it is good though..

I PM'd Geogia Girl to check on her. She wanted me to let all of you know that her little boy has been sick and now she is sick. She will be posting again as soon as she is feeling better. I pray that's real soon.

You guys rock!! Have a great week!!

Renewed... thanks for the update on Georgia. I was getting concerned! WTG on the PX thingy!!! I don't know what it is, but sounds challenging.

I hope the weather is as nice everywhere else as its been here! Sunny, dry and warming up. I went for a nice run yesterday in the park. So many people out doing the same... it was excellent. We took the kids with us and DH started off running and then took over the kids and I went for my run.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
