Good Job, Mom.

 

[Udog]

Hahaha, awesome! I'm thinking about making a request to have Biaxident's second one (the one lifting the dumbbells) added to the collection.

Good job. What caused the change in eating habits compared to a few weeks ago? (Feel free not to answer if you don't wanna. )

Oh, that's actually a really good question. I should probably think about that so as not to fall into the same pattern. Hum. I think I just had bad timing for a couple of days (our dining center has very limited hours) and I ended up eating less than ideally. And once I started eating meat and fried things it was harder to get back out of that pattern.

Next time you misbehave, I'll so chase you with a stick all over your campus.

Oh right, laugh, people always do that.. until it happens

Good Job, Mom.

Hap - Sorry it's taken me a while to get back on this. Here are some basics on the drinks I had mentioned earlier.

You can use any type of green tea you like - loose and Japanese is the best (more fresh and smells like grass rather than black tea) but a standard grocery store green tea in tea bag form will work just as well and be just as tasty. The key with green tea is that you steep it for a shorter period of time. Don't steep for too long or it will be bitter. So, boil water. Take the water off the stove, use 1 tea bag for every 4 cups of water (approximately). Steep for 1-2 minutes. It will differ by the type of tea (most packages will tell you how long is ideal). Shoot for a nice lighter green color versus a dark, hazy color. This is my preference - make as per your taste.


Chill the tea. Mix the juices in the day you want to drink it. I make the mixes in smaller bottles and carry them to work.

Spritzer options -- add sparkling water to taste to both of these:

3/5 green tea 2/5 orange juice
3/5 green tea 1/5 orange juice 1/5 pomegranate juice

Alternatively, you can just leave out the tea and just do the following:
1/2 orange juice 1/4 pomegranate juice and 1/4 sparkling water

With either of the above, the orange juice is essential because it cuts the pomegranate juice which has a very strong flavor. Use whichever brand you like to drink with no pulp. OJ is very high in sugar even if it is natural sugar so use smaller amounts of it. I use it as a natural sweetener but don't use it to make the majority of the drink.

I'm going to be a day late with the list this week. It's been a long day, and I want to get up early tomorrow to get my exercise out of the way.

 

[Laurie]

Wow, what a slacker. And all the money we are paying you, too.

I worked out today. At night because I don't have energy during the day for anything when I work out in the morning.

Yay! I only continued working out because of this thread.

My inner ISTJ is really upset right now. Thankfully, my outer INFP seems pretty okay with it, and just wants me to get ready for bed already.

Thank you for taking time out of your endorphine crazed mood to keep us updated!

 

[Laurie]

You need to get yourself to bed and out of the way of my crazed endorphins.

Thanks! My dad drinks a lot of seltzer so I think I'll have to try something with seltzer in it.

I'll have to try it out ^^

oh, by the way:

.8 mi to school

6-7 laps on track (I wasn't keeping track)

 

[wolfy]

I just got back from the gym. Did what I usually do for upper body.

Bench Press and BB Row SuperSet.
Sh Press and Chins SS
and rode the bike.

 

[Kasper]

Totally in a sweet routine now with classes and eating, and I'll be checking out a high-intensity boxing class on Thursday at the same place that I'm doing Pilates atm, if that all works out, which I think it will, then I'll finally have everything I wanted covered and be able to stop looking around for different ways to meet my fitness wants.
