Hey Improbable...thanks for that info and YES I can eat beans!! I try to stay away from the tofu though. I LOVE chickpeas and can eat a whole can myself..lol.
I try to get in at least half of my veggies as beans as I need the energy and I notice a big difference when I eat them as opposed to days that I do not.
Jay, my program is Hackley Managament Resources (HMR if you google it). It's a common one done through hospitals...mine is done through the hospital here at the Women's Health Center. The support is WONDERFUL. Different exercises I do...I like to rotate them...are:
Elliptical
Ski machine
recumbant bike
kick boxing
weight-lifting
hiking
swimming
salsa dancing
belly dancing
stair master (try to limit because of my knee)
That's most of them that I can think of....I love to walk though, so if I don't have anything to do I will go to the park and walk and jog for a couple hours.
You guys are actually a bigger support system than my group. A lot of my group members are very frustrated over their diets....they eat outside of their diet so they're not getting the results they would like...I think some people have unrealistic goals for themselves too. We're only 3 weeks into the class so I'm sure people will get more excited as they see the pounds shed. Although....
we still get people that stop at Wendy's for a frosty before they come to class and they bring the cup with them.
Silly people!
I was thinking of promoting this website at my next class and telling people how great it is to have this site when you're not in classs.
