Eating the Low Glycemic way!

Eating the Low Glycemic is what is working for me. I don't have that strong feeling of deprivation that I usually feel when tracking my calories. Making better choices by giving up the idaho potatoes, mashed potatoes, chips, baked goods, etc. Picking foods from the low or med GI index definitely has a physiological thing going on by keeping my blood glucose levels steady. I'm losing very very slowly, but I feel so good I don't care how slow.

Thanks for your help with the GI Warriors Bog. I can't wait to see how your GI Jane character develops. Beating back the scale lines is serious but there's no reason we can't have some fun doing it. You may be surprised what you learn from your little warrior as she develops and you start critiquing her.

Welcome to the unofficial, 2014 Winter Olympic's training team.

Just a fun idea that has motivated me and a n few others.

Check out my blog written 2-6-2013 to see the start.

We just try to up our game and for those of us that had stalled out, it seems to have given us a kick in the booty.

Look at your journey as a real champion would.
Pick out a winter sport that you really like and check out the training moves that can be done, with out snow or ice.
Youtube and Fit WII have good ideas.
One member even went so far as to use two frisbees on her feet to do speed skating!

It helped me to make a new vision board. I have a few blogs on that, as well.

Planning to reach our goals by 2-6-2014. A very doable thing!

Still interested? Just hop onto my page and maybe get to know the other team mates that responded to that blog.
Fran seems to be super determined.

Thank you for visiting my page (which has not been updated in a very long time...). Yes, I stopped smoking 4 1/2 years ago. Just like you I had stopped before, 8 years without a puff, but went right back to it when my mother passed away. Emotional moments, etc. But I noticed that I was still asking for people to blow smoke in my face... This time, it is different: I cannot stand cigarette smoke and go out of my way to avoid places where there is smoking and people who smoke... So I think this is the RIGHT quit ! Furthermore I was baptized and joined a Church that discourages smoking, so with the grace of the Lord I will stick to it! emoticon

Hello, friend. Thanks for stopping by and wishing me well. I am feeling much better the past couple of days. LOL, nothing could be like my last bout of illness, back in Feb/Mar, that's for sure.

Looks like the weekend is going to be a really nice one. Let's both commit to getting out and enjoying it. Interested in a walk sometime soon? Can't tomorrow, but let's!

Enjoy your weekend. emoticon

This is a very friendly spark team. I like it. That was nice to give everybody a Mothers day wish. I'll save mine for fathers day.

I just wanted to say Hi because I was raised in Ashtabula. I remember riding my bike in four feet of snow to deliver the Cleveland Plain Dealer every morning.
