Diva Sorry I missed you last night! I was stressed beyond belief and in a daze on the couch. But it's all good today.
My plan is to follow on my eating plan I have now--basically following the south beach principles: whole grains, veggies, lean meats, etc.
I'm glad you got things worked out and are feeling better today gf.
Sounds like a really good plan. Mine is very similar.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your Mom. Hang in there!
This is my first BL challenge so I am very excited! It looks like we have a great group
Dixied, I can't even imagine how much work it must take to set this up, so thank you! Nixmom, that is wonderful! Fauxtini, so sorry about the divorce Diva, I plan on exercising at least 5 days a week but am aiming for 6. I count calories and watch my sugar grams and sodium mg's.
I've been reading all morning, but I've been doing TBL Thread "housekeeping" so this is my first team post today.
In answer to the question about my plan.....survival. At this point that's all I'm promising.
Abby - I'm sorry about your situation. We've missed you on here. I see you on Facebook but it just isn't the same.
eusebius - That's a heavy-duty exercise plan!
Twilightwing - mmmm, pie. I know I'm going to screw up your name at some point and call you Nightwing. (just a random DCU fangirl moment)
**Yes, it's true. Sometimes the decision of which team to put you on is based on your username, the team you root for, your avatar, or location. But other than that, it's completely random. **
My plan of action is to get back walking, biking, circuit training and weight resistance (started walking on Monday), and count and log calories on fitday (started that on Monday also). That usually works for me.
dixied- nightwing works lol.. as long as the 'wing' is in there somewhere, ill answer to it
Diva- i totally understand about bday pies and cakes.. sometimes ya just gotta lol... but as long as we work off most of it and only indulge once in a great while... it should be okay lol.
Echo- thanks about the avatar.. i have brown eyes and use that same avatar on my myspace.. my daughter says she always feels like im watching her when shes on her page lol...
went to costco a few mins ago and walked around for about an hour just lookin at all the stuff i'd love to buy.. i could spend 10k in there no prob lol... still need to work out to my dvd, but just had lunch so gonna wait a bit... other than TOM it's been a good day so far.. stayin in my calories and drinkin plenty of water and unsweetened tea hope things are goin great for my fellow bluebies
Econ- I am doing the c25k too. I am going to do w5d2 today after class. I am still recovering from a severely fractured ankle late feb, so I might have to repeat a couple days as they get harder, but it looks like we are close to the same place in the program. We can keep each other going. btw, I thought w5d1 would be killer, and it wasn't so good luck.
I am doing this for the third time. Twice before I got sidelined and couldn't finish... Once I pulled a muscle in my back and was having spasms and the second I had to have surgery and didn't get the program finished before I went in... Third times the charm right?? It is a great program though!

My plan is to track my calories - everything that goes into my belly will be recorded! I also plan to focus on lots of fruit and veggies with protein while limiting my carbs. I plan to finish the C25K program - I run (well jog is a better word for it) Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is to the gym to use the elliptical and I must start doing something with some weights.
GO BLUE!!!!!!!!! This is actually my school motto (where I work)
Echo- Twilight works havnt seen the film nor read the books yet myself, but will have to check it out one day soon..
i see youre from london? i lived in Stafford for three years... and even tho i shouldnt want it cause of the calories, i miss Chippy lol.. we just dont have the same over here lol
Oh I forgot to ask a question that I have... Do we use the weight we reported when we signed up as our starting weight??
Yes.
It took me 2 or 3 tries to finish the C25K. I finally finished when I ditched the podcast and used my own music. Now I run almost everyday. Usually 3-6 miles. I will be a year in Oct since I started and sometimes I still can't believe I'm a runner.
Twilight - What DVD? I was doing a lot of DVDs when I started out.
As for the Plan of action question.... My plan is continue using my bodybugg (basically just calorie counting) and really keep up my activity level. I'm training for my 15k on Nov 1st (glad to see a bunch of c25k people here!) and continue working on my biking and swimming over the winter for the longer Tris next summer.
That... and my plan is to also work on my nutrition content more. Less junky stuff and much more whole grains and vegs.
Plus maybe some strength training? Looking at working in the Chalean Extreme DVDs.
Hi everyone -
Another first time BL Challenge participant!
My plan for success is stick to my WW diet, use my Sensewear and I just started the P90X DVDs.
