Re: How is everyone doing???

[Guest guest]

I'm doing GREAT! I went to the Tennessee Champions Weekend and ran Race for

the Cure with Team Body for Life. I ran it in 26:20 seconds. Someone got a

picture of me running with my mouth open when I saw the clock. I was

totally shocked that I ran that fast! Last 5k I ran was Mother's Day at

29:15.

The Champions weekend was a lot of fun, but it was also a lot of information

to process. So many inspirational stories from BfL and Transformation

champions! And from regular people too! Bill is kind of funny,

but Porter Freeman, he had everyone rolling in the aisles. What a card!

I think I lost about a half pound over the weekend, despite my best efforts

to gain by eating Pringles and Skittles on the way home! Today I'm back to

clean eating!

I can totally relate. Yesterday was one of my best days yet(end of 6th week 1st

challenge) I ran walked for 30 min and felt elated. Today I went for a brisk

walk at lunch and twisted my ankle and fell. I am going to see my MD in an hour,

I was crying a bit and it was mostly because I dont want anything to slow down

my momentum. One good thing came of this though. I felt an overwhelming urge for

a cream donut but ate my healthy lunch instead and found myself full! Well,

thanks for listeneing. I am pretty sure that it will be Ok as I have hypermobile

joints. RICE thats th way to go!  niki

Sorry to hear about your injury , I really hope you have a quick

recovery, it must be frustrating for you. Your positivity is still

inspiring though.

As for the 6 inches. Omggggg.. thats amazing! Amazing!!!!!!

12 inches in total?? WOW!!!! Really, fantastic. I'm so happy for you. I

hope you're proud of yourself.

You're making me wish I'd measured now, but the scales and the tape

measure make me crazy. I prefer to take weekly or fortnightly progress

photo's. Thanks for asking about me though. So far, so good! It's

really good to be back on BFL. I feel like I've got some control again.

I hope things go well at the chiropractor for you...let us know how you

get on.

Best wishes

Sounds like a wonderful event/weekend. I've just started reading the

BFL champions book.. so I am quite jealous you got to hear some of

these people in the flesh.

It sounds as if an injury would be the only thing that would slow

you down at the moment. It sounds like you are doing fantastic with

your program. I'm sorry about your ankle but I'm sure has some

brilliant suggestions for modified workouts if you have to stay off

it for awhile. Good luck at the doctors.

Dea i think u might have to work out for both of us. How was the

champions book. Im thinking of getting it if it does show some tips

that they used and all. I have the original BFL book.

This week is going to be hell. I have some training and i have to

stay there for lunch. they are providing it. Im going to take some

snack items but dont have access to anything there. I wish i did.

Thank you! I am thrilled!

The best thing is my sister emailed me yesterday that my 16-y/o niece who

runs cross country ran a 5k at her last meet in 26:22 and she is upset that

her 44-y/o aunt beat her time! Ha! I'll bet she didn't have hills, hills

and more hills to deal with either!

I would never have improved my time like that without HIIT. The way it

continues to raise your 10's is awesome!

Here is a strange question. Has anyone successfully used protein powder

to make hot cocoa?

Debbie

[Guest guest]

LOL Debbie,

Funny you should ask. I got that idea recently - maybe two weeks ago, when the

cold weather hit us. I thought how smart it would be, to have a nice hot drink

to warm myself up that would be full of protein. It did not go too well. I think

to dissolve the protein powder in the already hot cocoa and it immediately got

very clumpy. No matter what I did it would not budge. Maybe if I used a blender

- but I was too lazy to having to wash the blender. Anyway, I did eat some of

the clumps - it was akin to chewing on a not very tasty old chewing gum - and I

tossed the rest.

Not the greatest experience at all. Maybe it would have turned out better if I

tried to dissolve it in cold milk first.

Why do you ask - did you have a similar experience? Fess up! :-)

Sorry , I'm not that far into the BFL champions book yet to

offer any real meaningful insight. Others that have read it all

might be able to give you a better review. I'm just a few pages in

at the moment but I still find it motivating. Every little bit helps

I think. Don't worry about your lunch. Just try your best. I had

very dramatic results during my last challenges and I didn't do

everything absolutely perfect. Just keep on track and you'll do

great.

Diane, that is very, very impressive and inspiring. I hope you are

really proud of yourself. You're a shining example not just for your

niece but also for the rest of us too. HIIT wouldn't work if you

hadn't put in the hardwork and committment to it. I'm really happy

for you.

Starbucks will put protein powder in your coffee, so there must be a way to

make it work with hot cocoa. I would suggest putting it through the blender

bottle with some water or milk first and then adding it to the hot chocolate

once there are no lumps.

I haven't tried it, but I was having a cup of cocoa and thought it would

be better if I were getting some protein out of the deal. LOL

I'm guessing if you mixed the protein powder with warm (not hot) milk

instead of water, it may work.

I don't have any chocolate protein powder on hand right now, but I was

just thinking out loud.

, I'm sorry that you are hurt, I hope not too bad?

I was gone for five days for vacation and a conference for work.

I ran 14 miles on Sunday! I still can't believe it. I also walked a zillion

miles for two of the days. I did weights and yoga in the fitness center at

the motel.

I did really well food wise. I took protein powder and drank it with water.

Also took South Beach living bars (23 gm protein, 210 calories) but Diane

jinxed me. They never gave me gas before but they sure did this time.

Instead of having freeday, on the next to last day I had a tiny piece of

dessert, and a cookie and two glasses of wine. On the last day I wanted a

cookie, but when I went to buy it, I decided that I didn't really want a

cookie.

It was easier to make healthy food choices than I thought it was gonna be. I

had fruit at the meetings for breakfast and the protein and bar for two

meals (one each) lunch had a healthy option and salad and dinner I made sure

to pick healthy restaurants. On the vacation days, I would make the lunch

last for two meals as they give such big portions in restaurants.

Glad to be home, where I'm not surrounded by pastry.

I use Zone and Myoplex Lite bars and don't have problems!

Awesome job on the super long run! Wow!!!

I did OK in Tenn. with instant oatmeal and protein powder mixed with milk.

You need a spoon for oatmeal though! Ha! And bars for snacks and salads

with meat when I was out. Traveling is definitely possible!
