tip for today

Sam and I like to keep a big bottle of water in the fridge(nice and cold). That way when we open it up to grab a snack, it's right there in front of us. 90% of the time, your body is craving water not food! I'm sure everyone knows this, but thought a reminder might help some of you:0)
Also, Kels tried the Cliff Bars and Cliff lemon-lime drink just before her game on Sat. The girl played like a maniac!!! They were down like 8 points when her coach put her in, and she led them to a lead!!!! They led the rest of the game and WON!! Anyhow, my point is, the Cliff products are all organic(supposedly) and super hydrating. She said she felt really good for the game! Maybe check them out. I didn't see any stimulants in the ingredients, just good stuff. She has a friend who is a distance runner who swears by them for his races.

Diet Idea

I'm gonna try an idea I think was on Dr Oz the other day. I'm gonna create a 1,200 calorie menu for a day and eat the identical thing for one week. When done I may go another week or create a new menu. I'm gonna start with malto meal, a small amount of marg in my cereal, milk, banana for breakfast after my run. An early dinner around 4:00 of turkey burger, a vegie, and a green salad with only balsamic vinegar on it. Because I seem to think I need to eat at bedtime, I'm going back to what I was doing last year when I lost 14# and eat a bag of Kettle Corn which is 100 calories in a bag and come in different flavors. I think I'm finally motivated. Adam- are you with me?!

Motivation Anyone?

Man, with the Biggest Loser done and over with I'm not motivated at all. It looks like everyone else has plateaued as well. Any ideas to get re-motivated?

Suzy's Tip of the Day

Brush your teeth after every meal and after every snack. Any time you put something in your mouth head to the bathroom and brush your teeth.

Liv's Tip of the Day

Nik was wondering about tips cause she has gained a pound. I haven't lost squat yet because I'm just barely getting motivated but earlier in the year when I lost 25 pounds FIBER was a huge part of my diet. Jenny mentioned fiber also being a big part of how she lost weight. Fiber is fabulous. I was eating a lot of foods naturally high in fiber and also using milled flax seed which you can add to just about anything to pump up your fiber intake. I like to have a berry and yogurt smoothie after I work out and I always pour some flax seed in with it. You can get flax seed in the baking aisle next to the flour and stuff. It worked for me once, so I'm now getting back on the fiber bandwagon.
