Maria - saskatoon berries are similar to a blue berry, but they are purple and grow on small trees/shrubs in the wild. I think in some areas they are called juneberries. When we go camping, we will go for walks and just eat as we go. The kids get messy with purple juice all over their hands and faces
SpaceMtnFan - congrats on another big loss! Glad to hear your back is feeling better.
pjlla - how did you enjoy SHRED?
The words "ENJOY" and "SHRED" should not be in the same sentence!! I HATE every minute of it, but it really seems like an intense workout, so I just keep plugging along. Plus I am definitely seeing results as far as my stamina and ability goes. When I started I could do ZERO real push-ups.... now I can do about 3 or 4. Not much, but a big improvement in my book. I have moved from level 1 to level two, but level two is totally kicking my butt. I did try level 3 once because someone I know mentioned that she thought it was easier then level 2... but they are BOTH very tough. I can't imagine the day when I can do all three levels without feeling like I am going to DIE, but maybe someday.
Here's a QOTD for FRIDAY:
What plans to you have for this weekend?
Well, it is Mother's Day. DH hasn't said anything and I don't know what the plans are involving his Mom. I thought we would see my Mom on Saturday and his on Sunday, but I just read an email from DH's sister, and it seems like they have DMIL away all day... just not sure what is going on. I do plan on seeing my Mom one day... DH can figure out what is going on with his Mom. The fact that I am ALSO a Mom usually gets a bit forgotten (although I already told my kids what I want for breakfast in bed ).
OKAY PURPLE TEAM, I did it! I said I was going to lose 2 pounds this week and I did it! Exactly two pounds down. I am thrilled. I worked for it and I deserve it!! I am exactly 10.2 pounds away from my goal weight... and I only have 40 days to reach it if I want to see it by my birthday. Not sure that will happen, but I will be close.
I changed up some of my eating (more protein, less carbs, more veggies, less "processed" snacks) and pretty steady exercise. Plus it is a "good week" for me (no Aunt Flo, no ovulation bloat... sorry if that is TMI). I have AT LEAST two weigh-ins a month that are definitely influenced by "female issues."
I hope everyone else sees a great number on the scales today. If so for you. If not and you just KEEP GOING... back on track, back on program. You can DO IT! .....................P
