DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[punkin413]

I'm just posting again to snag post #900

you are silly!

well, i went running for the second day in a row. i haven't done that since may because it's just impossible with the humidity we have here. it feels like you're running in soup! but the last two days have been really cool so i took advantage of it. i also did a TKO class on monday and i'm going back to the gym tomorrow after work. so if i don't see some sort of goodness on the scale on friday i will know that i need a new scale!

i wanted to share this with you guys. a friend of mine takes juice plus and is trying to get me into it. she loves it. anyway, they release articles and do seminars and things for it and just about living healthy in general. this article just really struck me as so true and i thought you guys would appreciate it! it's written by a rep for the company.

-------------

Do you enjoy watching the Olympics? I love them. Not that I have ever desired to compete in them. I just love to see how far the amazing human body can be developed.
It inspires me and it can you too.

And I love to workout watching the competitions. I have no desire to push my body that hard! But I do appreciate this wonderful machine God has given to serve us through this life and I think it makes sense to maintenance it so it can function well during our years here on earth.

With myself and in training clients, I have found this attitude is key to being able to workout for the long haul. Appreciation.
Have you ever thought of what a great job your heart does for you every second of every day? The heart is our most important muscle. It is only about the size of your fist, yet it pumps approximately 74 gallons of life carrying blood every hour of every day!!! (Blood transports nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body. It also transports wastes away from cells. It also fights infection and carries chemicals that regulate many body functions!) This translates into the heart moving approx. 1,902 gallons per day!

The stronger the heart, the more blood each beat can move, therefore a stronger heart saves many beats per day. Come on! Appreciate the fantastic job it is doing for you and help it out. The average regular exerciser has a resting heart rate that is 20 beats lower than non-exercisers. Since there are 1,440 minutes in a day, the exercisers heart can save approx. 28,800 beats per day! If we look at a year, there are 525,600 minutes (thinking of the song Seasons of Love, maybe?) If you can strengthen your heart so it can beat 20 beats less per minute you could save it 10,512,000 beats per year!!! (Yes, that is ten million five hundred and twelve thousand beats per year.)

If you are already exercising for your heart congratulations! If you are not, you can be. It is not difficult. Pull that unused cardio equipment in front of the tv and let the Olympians inspire you. Start easy. It does not take much to improve over couch sitting!!!. Start with 10 minutes. In a couple of days, see if you want to add a couple of minutes (please do not add them until you WANT TO, I am not kidding!). By the end of the Olympics you probably will be doing 15-20 minutes, which can GREATLY help your health!!! (if you have any health issues, call your doctor and ask him if you can quit sitting on the couch.)

If you do not know where to start, email me back. I will help you. I want you to be happy and HEART HEALTHY! And be sure to take your JP+ consistently. Research proves it can increase blood vessel elasticity (among many other excellent results.)
b. inspired!

What is Juice Plus?

it's something like a vitamin/supplement. my friend erica (the girl i'm going to WDW with in september) takes it and swears by it. here's the website she sent me about it. she gave me some CDs too and i'm going to listen to them tomorrow, so i may know more about it then.

If you watch saturday night live and remember the skit Chris Farley did with Adam Sandler and David Spade dressed as girls and they were sitting in a dinner eating and Chris Farley's character was hogging the fries and David Spades character told her aren't you on a diet and Chris Farley roars: I'm STARVING in a deep scary voice????

Well that's how I feel today! I am not caving in though. Maybe that's my metabolism finally kicking in. I sure hope so. Wow I can't believe how hungry I am today.

Just got done doing Barry's Boot Camp Chest/Abs and Cardio for another full hour!

We had the tasting at our catering hall yesterday...the food was fantastic now we just have to hope it tastes that good on the wedding day!

FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i have been great with the working out but not super great with the food..as a matter of fact i had a Qdoba burrito last night ( just bean and some cheese) and we stopped at the Cold Stone! ..i only got a "like it" size..but still..
Yesterday was my day off from the gym, but we still went out and walked the dog, so that was good. i am planning on going tonight after work cardio+arms tonight...

Oh my, your food sounds fantastic! Made my mouth water thats for sure!

Nyquil - Im not sure Ive heard of it before! Ive tried Kalms which are a natural herbal remedy to aid sleep apparently - didn't work! I wonder if Nyquil is like Night Nurse? Hmm, I'll have to look into it! Thanks Lauren!

Nyquil is a medicine we have here that helps people sleep when they have a fever, cough or cold....i wouldnt recommend taking it everynight because it seriously knocks you out! but if you are that desperate for sleep it will def do the trick!

It sounds EXACTLY like Night Nurse! I have a bottle in the Medicine Cabinet so I think I may have a spoonful tonight - I am THAT desperate for sleep!

have you tried melatonin? it's all natural - it's the chemical your brain produces that regulates sleep. maybe you're missing some? i take one and i'm out in like 30 minutes and i don't feel all groggy the next day. in america you can get it in the vitamin section at drug stores. i'm sure you guys have it over there too!

Was back at the track and upped it to 14 laps.

I just don't feel like I will have a good weigh day tomorrow. I don't feel lighter at all.

On my last lap my son came over and I asked him to do the last lap with me and push the stroller so I could run without having to push. Half way through it he says, "Mom, this is really good for you. I can see that you are a little skinnier."

I told him he just made my day.

Good luck tomorrow my peeps!

so sweet!!!! don't get discouraged if you don't see results this week. they will come if you keep at the walking/running!

i just realized that you and i have the same ticker for december.

 

[mommaU4]

Hi everyone! Tomorrow's Friday. Yikes. Good luck to all!

I have a question and thought maybe some of you would have some ideas. I would like to start taking a vitamin because I'm pretty sure I'm not getting all the nutrients I need. Who really does right? LOL
But it's so confusing. So many choices. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good multi vitamin? I'm 36 if that makes a difference on which one I should be taking.

I appreciate any advice so I don't look like a total idiot standing in the vitamin aisle forever trying to make heads or tails of them all.
Thanks!

Funny! So, we should be able to meet up then right?

 

[UtahMama]

Good Luck in Weigh In tomorrow, Peeps!


What d'y'all think of a Green Tea Challenge? One week of substituting Green Tea for what ever cup of "wake up" you usually drink???

I'm curious and am up for a little experiment.

I'm doing it starting tomorrow till next Friday morning and am changing NOTHING else in my diet and workout.

UGH, No iced McCoffee!!! NONE.

It's so crazy, it just might work!

(Just don't get the kind in the bottles with sugar!!! )

I bought some fancy OOLONG green tea. I plan on sweetening it with my usual Stevia.


MommU4- Not ignoring your question about vitamins. I'm a Flinstones Chewable kind of gal so I'm not the best to advise.

I also take a Calcium, a Krill Oil (fish oil), and some Arbonne skin vitamins

 

[punkin413]

of course! i think we talked about this awhile back, maybe getting a spot for wishes or another nighttime show together and that way it's not so awkward for everyone else around us who don't understand the "peep"ness - you and i could talk while we're waiting on the show to start. but i think my schedule has changed since then. here's what we're doing - let me know if our plans overlap at all!

thursday, 12/11 - epcot all day

friday, 12/12 - DHS all day

saturday, 12/13 - MK all day

sunday, 12/14 - AK day / MK evening @ MVMCP

My ob/gyn said the cheap multi-vitamins are about as good as anything. He said to get something with iron, and pretty much 100% of the standard vitamins. Anything more, he said, is just expensive pee.

i listened to one of the juice plus CDs today that i mentioned yesterday. i'm thinking i might try it. we're supposed to be getting 5 servings of veggies and 5 servings of fruits every day. that's just almost impossible. this stuff gives you that in a pill form. it's been proven in some very impressive and reliable studies to reduce cancer, cardiovascular disease, MS.....the list goes on. really impressive stuff! one doctor put her elderly parents on it and did a "before" blood test on them and then took another one 6 weeks later and some element that's supposed to be really good to have in your blood (don't ask me what - it was very scientific-y) quadrupled in both of them! the CDs are just so full of information that really makes sense to me. they also mention that synthetic vitamins can sometimes be bad for you depending on the situation. anyway, if anyone wants to know more about it let me know and i'll post that website again. erica's (my friend who introduced me to this) e-mail is on that website and she can tell you much more about it.....as can the website. just wanted to pass it along!
