I love the effect that the Bridge Run in Charleston has on the community to get out- even if they are just walking it (it sounds like Peach Tree is similar). That race is definitely on my race "bucket list!"Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702699329193505737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-25636303971497598512013-07-06T10:25:40.010-04:002013-07-06T10:25:40.010-04:00Way to go, Livia!

I go overboard so am not as good as you. Ha ha ha. It's all about mindfulness.

I spent my 4th with friends from my p...Hello, team,<br />I spent my 4th with friends from my previous job (my research lab family- as I call them). This was the first big cookout party I attended since I declared myself part of the SJGR team on June 24th. Here’s what I did to feel proud at the end of the day that I did something good for my heart :)<br />First, I was very conscious of everything I was eating. In the past, I would just socialize around the appetizers table and eat without thinking what or how much I was eating. This time…although I had a longer list of items to add to my food diary, I knew exactly how much of the food I was eating. So… instead of writing” had chips and dip”- I wrote “3 chips with 1 tbs dip”. I also did not try everything that was there to try (I was always asking myself...is this worth it?...and most of the times the answer was no). I gracefully took just one sip of the mixed drink that I was offered, and I decided the drink was not worth more, but I also did not refuse the hosts…so happy heart and happy hosts :) I did not go for the burger- but for a chicken/turkey hotdog without the bun, and I loaded my plate with the roasted Brussels sprouts that I made and fresh veggies. I avoided all the potato and macaroni salads, but I did try the homemade mac’n’cheese (1 tablespoon). I tried a forkful of the delicious chocolate raspberry cake that my girlfriend ordered with her coffee later in the afternoon, and I had half of my glass of wine instead of a full glass later in the day. I did go for my jogging session later in the evening…and it stormed so bad…that my phone was dead this morning (Lesson learned- wear your phone in a waterproof case when running outside in Florida ;) Being so mindful about what I ate at the party paid off on my scale this morning- minus 1 lb :)<br /><br />Dr. Manning, congratulations on your first race! I am envisioning my first 10k for the beginning of the next year :) <br />Thank you, JoLai, for the FB page!<br />Go SJGR team! Have a great week! <br />Livia<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138986367921324615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-52479749020538865922013-07-05T13:21:57.441-04:002013-07-05T13:21:57.441-04:00I'm actually pleased with myself.

I knew I would be going to the fair with my best friend, which meant splitting a strawberry cheesecake funnel cake with him (and completely ignoring my gluten intolerance). There is no doubt for me that that funnel cake is WORTH the 750 calories I consumed. I had a light brunch, ate the funnel cake as my dinner, and paired it with water. So worth it!jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349232456328319714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-63756667275083394752013-07-05T12:07:07.393-04:002013-07-05T12:07:07.393-04:00Kimberly so proud of you for doing the Peachtree! ...Kimberly so proud of you for doing the Peachtree! I used to live in Atlanta and that is not an easy race especially with the Atlanta heat in July (may not have been as hot because of the rain which I hope was the case for you guys!). I had a quiet, low key 4th. No family in town so I spent a lazy day at home. I am proud of myself. Typically on these days, I find it harder to do my workout, eat well etc because I am not busy. I had my normal healthy breakfast and light dinner. I did indulge on making fresh popcorn (yes I put real butter on it) but I had a one of those Healthy Choice little pastas you add a little water too for dinner and that was it. This was a big day for me because I cannot tell you how many days like this I have had where I end up eating junk ALL DAY. Did not happen today. <br /><br />I woke up too late yesterday to get my walk in before it was crazy hot so I knew I was going to have to do it around 6pm last night. I was sitting on the couch, quite comfortable in my air conditioned house) watching TV and watching the clock. At 6pm, I ALMOST decided, naah I will just go out tommorrow. I thought about our TEAM and decided, NOPE gotta get out there. I have a route around my neighbor hood that has a lot of hills that takes me about 40 minutes to do. I used to be a runner but in the last few years I had bad knee and back issues that kept me from running. the last 2 days I have walked, I have put in a couple of running intervals for about a minute or 2 which is all I can do right now. Did the same last night. I am usually very heat intolerant, and the heat index was in the 90's during my workout last night. I got through it, even did my brief running, and was drenched by the time I was done but I was able to do my normal route without cheating.<br /><br />all in all a very successful 4th! Go TEAM!!!<br />My workplace is doing an 8 week health challenge where you can sign up and document your workouts. Signed up for that today!!! If I do well, helps me get a discount on my health insurance!<br /><br />Happy 4th everyone!<br />-AmandaAmandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-61181245997870599592013-07-05T11:15:06.540-04:002013-07-05T11:15:06.540-04:000.0 here.

So a whole lot of training walks until then.<br /><br />The rain pretty much closed down my 4th except the meal and talent show at my church. Three years ago everything I ate was something I brought. That has really changed. I could eat the pulled pork because it wasn't doused in sticky sauce. Someone brought a really yummy corn and black bean pico de gallo that I ate without the chips. I had plenty on my plate without destroying my diet. And I noticed during one of the between act presentations that several of my friends have lost a significant amount of weight. I am happy to have started the movement. They still kind of over do the deserts,but they are easy enough for me to ignore. I enjoyed that glass of wine while I sat on my porch in the rain watching my neighbors make up for the cancelled Woodstock fireworks.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-55730667213368174122013-07-04T22:47:33.866-04:002013-07-04T22:47:33.866-04:00Congrats to you, too, Jill!

Love that place and yes, you were strong for those choices. <br /><br />Yep, we have to get training for our ten-milers.

I also ran my first PTRR today, I was just ahead of you in Wave M, however, I am slower than you at a 13 min mile. Loved almost every minute of it, until my blister block came off in mile 5 and I limped to the finish. Like you I was tempted to reward myself with food, but I didn't. Had normal lunch and went to a delicious dinner at Cafe Lily with my mom, had a vodka cocktail with a healthy entree, no wine, no dessert. Felt strong about making those decisions. Will get up in the morning and walk/limp around the neighborhood (have a massage at 10!!!) Now, we gotta buckle down and start training for our Fall 10 milers, Dr. SJGR!!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744125557101852519noreply@blogger.com
