For those of you who have a tea addiction like me.....
Any of you hear of or been to Tevana. OMG! The entire back wall of the store is called the Tea Wall (see link). Those tins are probably 2 plus gallon sized. There is no such thing as a tea bag here....everything is loose and usually priced per 2 ounces. They open the lid and literally wave the aroma at you. Colors of tins represent different teas (white, green, etc.) Samuari Chai Mate' and White Ayurvedic Chai (blended) and My Morning Mate' (haven't had in quite sometime) are my favorites. Love to stop in and have them make me a nice hot cup of tea! Samples galore in the store that smells like heaven! Highly recommend!!!!! http://www.teavana.com/tea-wall |

I love yoga on the Wii Fit Plus. I also have a Biggest Loser dvd with some yoga that is ok. I never have time to do it when I'm taking classes though. I should drag it out for awhile if I do have any extra time. Thanks for reminding me I have it!

OK.....now I'm rambling. I'm happy you guys found yoga. Do enjoy, be careful and your body will let you know how happy it is. Once you get comfortable with your asanas (poses), see if you can't find a class to attend. Don't be intimidated. Everytime we have a new student in our class I always introduce myself and then tell them to PLEASE not watch me but to pay attention to the instructor. And I kindly remind them that none of us are watching them because we are being mindfull of our own practice. Namaste...... |
WOW! Reading the words Yoga and Wii is inspiring me. I had to quit doing yoga in August due to rotator cuff tear and surgery. I did the same thing 2 1/2 yrs ago on my other side. Seems downward and upward dogs are not in my best interest but the other poses were great and were greatly improving my flexibility. It's kind of scarey to start again but Wii does allow for being selective and no pressure from those around me (they don't pressure me - I'm very competitive and pressure myself).
I had lost my 50 pounds but gained two months of holiday pounds back (15). I began IP year ago this month and am excited to be back on board. This morning I broke back into the 100s which was soooo exciting. 3fatchicks really motivates and supports me. Thanks for being here all you thinning chicks! Smile |

My previous post was referring to trying to not be so competitive with ourselves. Slow down, breathe, enjoy the process and then revel in your body's response. After all these years, I am still unable to go from down dog to a standing forward bend by jumping my feet to my hands. The hips and knees just won't let me....but I keep trying! |

Can anyone explain to me why we are not allowed Aspartame? I am not on IP but have been using Pure Protien prodcuts. I have lost 6lbs the first week and after 12 days have lost 9lbs. I plan on starting IP next thursday but wanted to get a jump on it. I am a huge diet pepsi drinker and I just wanted to know what would be the harm if i don't give it up.

Thanks you for asking.....:) Quote:
Time to tell your Diet Pepsi goodbye for awhile. It will be there when you finsih the program. Continuing to ingest aspartame will on program will most likely undermine your success. There are other caffeine alternatives, but water is your best friend. Good luck.....this program works if you follow the rules. |

Good morning everyone,
Got lots of snow in the past 2 days and today its freezing. We usually have a truck that comes and shovel our driveway but this year we can't as my van is broken and in the driveway so its not wide enough for the truck to come. Yesterday when i spoke to my daughter after she got home from school, she says mom i can go sledding..we have a bit snowbank in our driveway...ugh yeah that's what i wanted to hear...the city had went by and put hard snow/ice up to our knees all along my driveway, took us over an hour to shovel. I decided to have an extra egg for dinner because of that, lol. WI this morning -3, very pleased :) Doing bootcamp this week, i already miss my chocolate soy puffs. Kids want to go sledding this morning, trying to get out of it...its fine for them as they're running around but i don't feel like standing around in -25 weather. Have a great OP week-end :) |
Good morning. Just a few quick minutes to catch up before I start homework for the day. This morning I purged drawers again. It felt great trying on all the clothes I wore not that long ago that were way too big now. I had some capris I wanted to get into last summer but it never happened and now I won't be wearing them this summer either. For different reasons of course. I have a huge pile for consignment and I threw a huge pile away too.
Nothing like making you feel good when the diet doesn't seem to be going as well as planned. Hope everyone has a great weekend. |

Hey Everyone,
Ok, I've read the book, I need to read it again. But right now I'm looking for the explaination of the cheat day (scanned...can't find it). I know it, I get it, it's not a big deal to me but I am having problems explaining it to someone. Does anyone know if it's even in the book (where)...?? |
Ishbel, Maybe it's on his website? I know I read about it somewhere, either the book or his site. I thought I remember reading that it was mandatory, but can't remember the exact wording.

"THE CHEAT DAY....It is not recommended but mandatory to take one day out of the week and indulge in your favorite foods with all the trimmings. This cheat day of course should never turn into a cheat week. What is considered a cheat? That’s entirely up to you! What do you love to eat? And there is no guilty feeling afterwards or worry that the weight will be put back on. The following day you will eat as you did in phase 1 and restrict carbohydrates. We know that a carbohydrate and a fat is a bad food combination in the presence of insulin. Insulin is the key that stores the combination into the fat cell (weight gain!). therefore we restrict carbohydrates and we will have a very little glycemia in our blood and the pancreas will produce very little insulin. No extra insulin means no key, so no fat storage. Our bodies will eliminate the “cheats" naturally." |
Ok, just read the book and his website again. I found no mention of a cheat day being mandatory, just what to do if you have a major slip. My IP stuff is the same as Cat's.
|
Also says don't worry about packets if you don't have them, instead have some non-fat yogurt and coffee/tea for breakfast, then lean meat and veggies and salad for lunch and dinner. This might be easier for those of us that are missing our breakfast on those mandatory phase 1 days.
|
Thanks ladies! Cat your tea will be in the mail tomorrow! :)

Good morning everyone. Had an off weekend. One big cheat and lots of little ones. Today is a new beginning. I will lose at least 20 pounds by the time I'm 30. I have to get my head back where it was in June when I started.
|
Good morning all! Yesterday was my birthday so I had a wonder OP dinner with my family!! We also got some snow... For those of you on the east. Our snow would be nothing. But they make a huge deal about it here... I guess we are suppose to get around 3-6 in the next 36 hours... So we will see!! Hope everyone had a good weekend....
We also may need to start a new thread. I'm surprised they haven't shut us down yet!! |
Oh, we are over 500! I will go do that!
