Hey Team Lean Members,
One last important bonus ticket is coming out this week! We want to know what this challenge has done for you! So for 25 bonus points write and essay what Team Lean has done for you, it is due March 26th so don't delay!! Hope this has been a fun, informative and successful journey for you all!
Go Team Lean!!
Continuing to reflect on what I learned from Team Lean is that I am not working out nearly hard enough. Going to the different classes made me realize I really need to push myself more than I have. I'm working on it.
ReplyDeleteHey! I have done good this week. I am looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. If I haven't lost, I am really going to be surprised and DISAPPOINTED!
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to look forward to weigh-ins, because no matter how hard i work at loosing weight, it never seems to be enough and the scale never reflects what i thought i should have lost. :(
ReplyDeleteI did lose, but not as much as I thought I might. Maybe its getting harder the "leaner" we are becoming?? I have slacked off on the water too so maybe thats it??
DeleteWell weigh-ns are over for this week. I am looking forward to the results.
DeleteWell my weigh in did not go as well as i had hoped either. But you are right the smaller we get, the more difficult it becomes to shed the pounds. Best wishes for next week.
DeleteThere's always next week. I have been eating everything in sight for the past 24 hrs. so today I found myself trying to rationalize eating some ice cream by saying well I've already blown it. Fortunately I heard some advice in my head saying "Its OK to blow it just stop and start eating right again." So I did manage to say no to the ice cream and eat reasonably tonight. Probably won't be a very good weigh-in this week. Hope your is better!
DeleteHopefully the scales will be good to everyone this week and we all will have lost weight and developed some better eating habits! :)
ReplyDeleteMercy, I thought my essay writing days were over, Well for team lean i can do one more lap, one less biscuit and one more essay. GO TEAM LEAN!
ReplyDeleteI recieved the email re the essay, but the last line of your message I didn't quite understand. I'll go back and look again and repost the line that I didn't understand.
ReplyDeleteSheila I think team lean is wearing you out as much as the competitors. The last line of your email goes something like this "The team lean results last week and the team lean essay 'What has team lean done for you?'" Girl,get some rest and plan on pampering yourself after March 29. :) :)
ReplyDeleteHey I was with Shelia (at the end of the day) when she was sending that out. There were three conversations going on at once and several people in and out. Guess it showed in the email.
DeleteOne more day of diet and exercise down and only three more weeks to go. Go team lean. :)
ReplyDeleteWe can do it! Go Team Lean!!!!
DeleteI just went to a great restaurant near Chateau Elan called the Houndstooth Grill. I liked it alot. My daughter and I often share a meal which works well for us. we ordered the stuffed chickes breast filled with herbed cream cheese and smoked ham. It was scrumptious. We ordered green beans for the 3-grain rice and it came with mixed veggies which were excellent. Sharing was definitely a good idea. They brought it on separate plates (a first for me!) which was very nice. We were each very full and even left some veggies.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried any specific diet ie: weight watcher, jenny craig, etc., Just exercise and counting calories. But I think this week i will try counting points. Although, i look at how many points i can have for the day,then i look at how many points are attached to the foods i normally eat and my calorie counting is basically equivalent to the points i would be allowed for the day(weight watcher system. So why bother with a new system, maybe because i feel stuck. :) It may be what i need to get past my WALL. Good luck this week.
DeleteThats interesting to hear that counting points and counting calories seemed similar to you. I have just started eating "healthy" and cutting back on sugar, white stuff, fried, alcohol and artificial sweetner. Maintenance is probably still going to be my biggest challenge! Hope your week goes well!
DeleteWell I was motivated to learn something new like counting points. I/ve been looking at calories for so many years, it just makes more sense to me to stick to something familiar. Plus, I can calculate calories out vs calories in much better than points in vs calories out. Know what I mean. I mean the bottom line is to loose weight one must loose more calories than taking in. Of course there are many factors to consider when being able to burn calories IE ;Chronic illness like diabetes and hypothroidism.. I am very grateful to my God that I have been blessed not to have these condititons. I wish the best of luck to all. Go team leam
DeleteI meant to say was not motivated to learn points system
DeleteI hope everyone did well this week. My hotmail account must be a day behind on the mail I get, because I don"t get the results till Saturday. So I don't know how everyone did. I know that even though I busted my behind, the scale didn/t show it. Well, my workout is done for one more day. GO TEAM LEAN.
ReplyDeleteI am really depressed!! I gained!!
DeletePat,
DeleteI hate to hear you feel so bad, I know that feeling. That feeling is something that holds us back. Try to find your motivation again. I read that you have new grandbaby. Congradulations. It is a great thing to want to be fit and healthy for your grandchildren. GO PAT!
I have not lost as much as I want, but I am loving Yoga :-) I am glad I finally tried it
ReplyDeleteThats great! When do you go? Myrna's or Cathy's?
DeleteMandy,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing awesome!! Tied for first!! Way to go girl!!!
I am anxious to see this week's results. I didn't lose anything, but I bet everyone else did.
ReplyDeleteLooking for results......Guess it is early
ReplyDeleteHope everyone did well this week. I didn't count points, but did switch up my workouts. Seemed to work for the week. Maybe I'll try something different next week. It is scary to try new things, but when the old isn/t working, what can you lose? GO TEAM LEAN!
ReplyDeleteMy motivation is fluctuating, but I think I will try to continue and make my goal after Team Lean officially ends.
DeleteThat is a big problem of mine. Staying motivated to keep off the weight. Best wishes Pat
DeleteWeek to week results are an excellent motivator. I remember when I did the first team lean. You had no idea how you were doing until the end. Not much motivation for me anyway, because the weeks that I did poorly, I felt everyone else was doing great. So it was hard to stay on track. GO TEAM LEAN
ReplyDeleteGreat job everybody. We are all making great strides. Go TEAM LEAN.
ReplyDeleteI wander why the point system has been implemented this year. If anyone knows, fill me in. Vaughnna
ReplyDeleteToday is not my day.....
ReplyDeleteBut the chocolate almond ice cream from Publix is wonderful
ReplyDeleteHope everyone had a Happy St Paddy's day! Did we limit the corned beef brisket? To be honest, I don't even know that Ive ever had corned beef. GO TEAM LEAN!
ReplyDeleteWell, I did it. Finished the Atlanta/Publix 1/2 marathon in 2hr 45 mins. My PR. :) Already looking forward to Marathon in October. GO TEAM LEAN Thanks for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!That is great!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI just recieved the email that the walk at Fort Yargo has been canceled today due to pollen count. :( Hopefully the count will go down by next week. it is bad for people who suffer from allergies. Every other pt is complaining of allergic type symptoms. There was a horticulturist on the news this am that reported that the length of the pollen season may be shorter. Yeahhhh! Go team lean!
ReplyDelete8 more days -- go team lean
ReplyDeleteI'm eating alot of fruit this week. It has alot of water and helps you feel full(melon/strawberry/pineapple), but it also has lots of natural sugar.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the clementines? I feel like I have lived on them. Before Team Lean I didn't even think I liked them. Now I can't get enough.
DeleteI haven't tried clementines lately, but I have tried some wierd varieties that are really good. The best one that i have tried recently is mangeola I think is what it is called. Has the color of a grapefruit seedless and so sweet. I will have to look at those again when I go grocery shopping today to make sure that is what it is. they are really good. I also like the cuties, but they are so small. I have to eat two.
DeleteI'm thinking of getting on my bike. But it sure is hard on the fanny, when you haven't ridden in years. But it is a different type of exercise.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Bike riding is so good for you! I have a bad knee that won't let me ride, and it really bums me out.
Deletetires were flat. no helmet. No excuses. Will try to get the bike thing going this week. thanks for the encouragement.:)
DeleteI hope all the Tuesday weigh in"s go well. Good luck and one more week. :)
ReplyDeleteMine didn't, but how I have eaten I was lucky to have only gained 1 1/2 lbs.
DeleteSorry Pat, try to keep going. Best wishes
DeleteWell one more weigh in down. I''m so exhausted. Good luck during last week of competiton. GO Team Lean!
ReplyDeleteVaughnna,
ReplyDeleteYou are really doing great! I wish I was that inspired.
Weigh in result should be posted today or tomorrow. GO TEAM Lean. Hope everyone is working on points.
ReplyDeleteWow! I just finished one of the zumba classes at the Y. Now thats a cardio workout!
ReplyDeleteI just picked up my daughter from school. Her first question " can we have soooomething besides chicken for dinner?" i have to admit that we do have chicken five days of the week. there is so much you can do with baked or boiled chicken. I did break down and bought her a personal size pizza. I only hope that she is learning good eatin habits and the pizza is only a treatmeal and not a staple.
ReplyDeleteGood job everyone. Go team lean!
ReplyDeleteFinal weigh - ins this week. Good job everyone. Hope everyone met their goals.
ReplyDeleteHey! Hope everyone is doing well at weigh-ins today. Two more days for me.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks as if my blogging buddies have tired of me? :) I miss it. Only two more days till my final weigh in. Hope to see yall at the finals.
ReplyDeleteDONE DONE DONE> Now I can eat eat eat. LOL. Just joking. This challenge has been one of the hardest for me. I guess as you age, your body doesn/t want to let go of any cellulite. GO TEAM LEAN!
ReplyDeleteI don't know who came up with Stuck Like Glue for a name, but they hit the nail on the head. My pounds are stuck like glue. :)
