GREEN SEA TURTLES

Hi all...

lets use this for now to post our ups and downs...it will be easier to keep track of each other this way...

i have packed my celery, brocolli and red peppers...i am ready...giving this 100% effort...

i think i have sent every one a buddy request...if i missed anyone...i am sorry...

if you would...please repost your beach here...

mine is to eat veggies at least once a day - and ones that i do not normally eat...no more...i'm not losing weight because of not eating veggies...

enjoy your day...

these are from cheeks...

Sea turtles
Sea glass
Seaweed

Hello there. I love the name Green sea turtles.

Green frogs is good to. I love both those animals.

You asked to put our beach on here.

I think mine was to if it was to smokey out side to run on the treadmill. But I'm selling that so. I've changed it to just getting up and running 5 days a week and also doing walking lunges in the backyard and doing situps and pushups atleast 3 days a week.

We're gonna kick but.

Go Green team.

Does anyone know how to change the colors. I don't and would like to.

Hi All,
My beach is to get up early everyday and exercise before it gets to hot and sticky.

i like the frogs...i was thinking about something with sea glass or fluid like the green waters...cannot wait to see what else you come up with

I think the frogs is cute!

I didn't post my B.E.A.C.H. yet so here goes:

Excuse: I deserve a treat!

Habit: Eating too quickly, I have a real problem with this.

Goal: Only have a treat once or twice a week and make it a small, healthy one AND Eat slowly, drink water in between bites.

ok...ate the brocoli and red peppers and am still alive to tell the story...did not like them...gave myself a headache just thinking about it and dreading it all day...lol...i am such a wuss...

Here's my B.E.A.C.H again...

Banned Excuse: Can't be bothered to exercise!

Changed Habit: To commit to doing at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, with 10 minutes focusing on abs.

No excuses as after tomorrow, I will be on summer leave for 6 weeks... yippee!

Ooh, thinking of a team name for green is a hard one isn't it! But here's a few that I've come up with...

greenstone
jade
palm trees
ocean green

Quite like the sea turtles one.

Hello Green Team!!!!

I'm so glad I was able to find this post. I'm not that great on the computer all the time.

Green is one of my favorite colors, but when you pair it with the beach, it's hard to find a name.

I really like turtles and frogs both. My husband suggested the Seahawks. They have green in their colors, (NFL) but we are really Steelers fans. LOL. So I tried to think of stuff like, what is the first thing I think of when I hear the word "Green". Unfortunately it was grass. LOL.
I'll try to keep thinking on this, and check back later.

Oh, by the way, my B.E.A.C.H. is:

Excuse: My daughter is finally asleep, and this is the only time I can sit and relax in peace.

Change: Get off my butt and walk/jog/run for 2 miles. I can relax later!

LET'S GO GREEN TEAM!!!!!

Sincerely, Julie

hahah Albright! I can't possibly be on a team called the Seahawks.....I'm a die hard Patriots fan! heheheh Steelers fan eh? We are rivals! =) =)

I like Sea Turtles too =)

Banned excuse: Calling it "quits" and "giving up" for the day once I eat something bad.

Changed Habit: If I have a weak moment and eat something that shoots me over my points, I'm not going to look at it as a failed day, I will continue to watch what I'm eating for the rest of the day.

As for my day yesterday.....I ended up at a 3...BUT....I found out that is because Aunt Flo came to visit, which has a tendancy to make my snacking go a little crazy, especially on salty things. So overall...I only went a few points over...but....to get a perfect 5 for my banned excuse, I need to eat at my points....and make that decision to not eat more!

I did manage to wake up this morning...and do Aerobics "on the beach" for 35 minutes....sooo that was good!

Hope you are all having a great day! =)

Green team:
mon July 21
ok So my points for yesterday I'd say a 4 ran, did walking lunges, but got side tracked and forgot sit ups. going do extra today and push ups.

tue July 22 going to run tonight still a little smokey out today it blew in last night. so hopping it will go away today.

Hope everyone is doing great.

Hi all,

Sorry to be a stranger these past few days. I was traveling for work and just got back on Sunday, have been trying to catch up with my life since then.

I'm ready to hit the beach now! I have two excuses I need to ban
1) "I'm 'maintaining' now... one little ____ won't hurt me." (___ being a beer, dessert, whatever)
I will replace this excuse with healthy snacks and drinks, which I already know how to do.

2) "I'm too busy to work out." This is my biggest problem. To ban this excuse I'll pledge to do my core exercizes each night (about 15 mins of sit ups, etc.) and get at least 40 mins of exercise 3 times a week. Tu, Th, and Sat.

I look forward to keeping up with you all and being part of this challenge!

we are glad you are back...if you even did just a little of your beach's yesterday go ahead a give yourself a score...thanks,

Is everyone on board for either Sea Turtles or Green Turtles, sounded like it in the postings? I like turtles over froggies, only because turtles are found in both ocean and lake beaches...if we are keeping in beach form =) hahahah Plus...it reminds me of Hawaii! Soooo would love to be there again!

Hi to all.

I like the Green Sea Turtles.

Here's my B.E.A.C.H...

Excuse - It's too hot to walk.
New Habit - Pop into the gym and walk on the treadmill.

I want to add another B.E.A.C.H...

Excuse - I worked hard all year with my students. I'm going to party like a rock star this summer...hey, I deserve it.
New Habit - I can have fun, but I am sticking to my new lifelong eating plan, and my exercise schedule is my new part-time job.

With that in mind, here's my tally marks so far...
Sat - 3 (I exercised, but didn't eat well
Sun - 3 (ditto for saturday)
Mon - 0 (Staff blow-out party). I'll do better on Tuesday.

Have a great day all.

going to change our header to the THE GREEN SEA TURTLES...hope every one agrees...

My banned excuse was to do at least 30 mins of exercise, that includes 10 mins of abs toning.

Yesterday I did 30 mins of elliptical + 10 mins abs exercise (sit-ups, obliques, planks and side-planks) - so full BEACH achieved - 5.
