Believe it or not, I can't even stand the taste of the pepsi any more. After going 9 months without it, I bought one and couldn't take more than a couple of sips! If someone would have told me that over a year ago, I would have laughed! Best wishes to you this week!

Molly you are the one who got me started on the green tea. and now I love it!

Awesome plans, Molly, Jennifer and Tracey!!

ok...i'm here!!! lemme just say that today has been an awesome day. I have been incorporating practice from Paternak's 5-factor system and i feel fantastic - 5 small meals w/protein, fat, fiber, carbs and liquid. It's weird to eat so much/often. Also, in terms of challenges, i hit most of them today doing The Firm (Session 6 for me) including:C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, C7, U2, U4, U5, U6, U7, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8! Can you believe it??? :-)

OK...this week's plan:
1. around 1200-1300 a day, incorporating the 5-factor system
2. at least 64 ozs of water a day
3. vitamins and supplements daily (multi, flax, chromium picolinate, b6/b12, & metabolift)
4. do The Firm 2-3 days a week (one *down* today) incorporating the challenges
5. include green tea daily
6. daily 30-minute sessions on the treadmill
7. Set my one "Cheat Day" for Tuesday July 1st for me & hubby's anniversary :-)
8. Encourage and support my *awesome* peeps!

love you guys! xo, mimi

Wow! I am impressed Way to go!

Wow, I LOVE the word after the group name - REFOCUS. Yes this is what I need to do. I have let my bum knee/inactivity and poor food choices go a little wild. So I am serious to find a team where I must stay FOCUSSED.

Good luck to all this week and thank you Kama.

My goals for the week:
1. To be 6 days on plan
2. Eat slowly. Eat 3 medium balanced meals & 2 snacks if hungry (1200-1500 calories/day)
3. No eating after 7PM unless it is veggies and I am hungry
4. Drink water, herbal tea and green tea (decaf or regular)
5. vitamins
6. Do Core and Upper body exercises and do what I can for the Lower body. I will likely add butt and thigh pilates 3 times this week because it seems to not affect my knee. No cardio at this time accept that I plan to do the weights and core exercises at a good pace. That should get my heart rate up.
7. Relaxation techniques like meditation to keep my cortisol in check.
8. no simple sugar when on plan

Welcome to the Wildcats, Jenn!

Jenn's Food, Diet and Fitness Diary
Excellent plan!!

Ok...so I tried some of the exercises that are posted here, unfortunately I was only able to get through 1 set each of # 4 , 5, and 7 of the lower body challenges before getting a wicked charlie horse. Maybe I should have stretched first? I didn't quite realize I was in that bad of shape. Thought I would have been able to do a little more. I will try to get through another set of each tonight before bed.

My Plan this week

1. Eat 1400-1500 calories a day
2. Keep fat intake under 30 grams a day
3. Run Daily
4. Kickboxing 6 x this week
5. Do challege everyday
6. Drink 12-14 glasses of water (Less Propel)
7. Bring healthy snacks with me when out shopping.
