I did the IBM 10K run on Sunday and decided that since I needed 2 hours of running to run from the house and then back again. I ended up at 1:48 at the end of the race, called it good, and got a ride home ( ... )

I've never run in the direction of your place - I always go around the park. But next time you have Squishy Night, maybe I can jog over there!

I always put dried cranberries in our oatmeal. Siobhan loves it too. :)

I use just plain oats, add hot water (you can add some soy or milk too if you want), brown sugar for Siobhan, agave for me, and dried cranberries. Stir. It's super easy, good for you, and yummy too!

Thanks for the reminders! I usually do most of these except the challenging ones (save for going to the gym 2-3x/week--I still do that).

I need to get back on track and this is more motivation. Thanks, again!

No problem. I need to get keep constantly motivated myself!! That is a challenge.

I think seeing an RD is huge--I saw a shrink actually for a lot of my weight loss but the RD helped me figure out how to maximize taste/intake for the lowest calories. I also am in love with her.

RD? Hot RD?

IF you drink diet soda, switch to regular soda.

Eh, I'd say just quit soda altogether and drink tea. I had a friend who lost 70 lbs just cutting regular Dr. Pepper out of his diet(and really changing nothing else), so I kinda doubt regular soda is "better" for weight loss.

sinndar October 23 2007, 23:46:52 UTC

Yeah, I didn't think that made any sense either. There are a lot of calories in regular soda! I can't stand the taste of regular Coke though, tea or water for me. Or wine! :P

sistrmoon October 24 2007, 03:15:29 UTC

yay wine! good for heart health! okay, maybe not a bottle at a time, but...:P

the best thing I ever did for my weight was become a nurse. I swear, I must be walking 10 miles a shift or something. I don't eat particularly well and work is the only exercise I get and I've lost 15 lbs since I started working. Well, that and probably the stress. But I'd be scared to get a desk job after this:P

Most coffees people drink nowadays is really sugar or corn syrup laden confections pretending to be coffee.

Eh? I don't understand that one.

sinndar October 23 2007, 23:48:41 UTC

You know, those Starbucks Frappicino type things, I guess. I don't even put sugar in my coffee, on the rare occasion I even drink it.
