Soccer...

Well, if I could play soccer every night of the week, I would be doing way better in this challenge.  I am on a city league team that plays once a week.  Its so much fun and a great workout.  I love it!  The other days, however, are not going so well.  I like to run outside, but would love to run without kiddos.  That rarely gets to happen.  This week it has been too cold or windy or rainy to take the kids so I have not done a lot of running.  I get bored on the treadmill and with dvds.  So I really need to figure out what to do to get myself going again.

Thanks for the post on green smoothies!  I like them a lot, but sometimes forget about them.  My son and husband like them too.  Do you ever have any kind of protein in them?  Or if you have one for breakfast, for instance, would you pair it with an egg or something on the side?

Awesome job for resisting sweets (I forgot to look at who posted that, but great job!)  I, too, would love tips on resisting sweets or figuring out how to have a decent portion size.  I have had a couple of bad nights this week with sweets.

I think the group challenge next week will be good.  I usually follow a meal plan for dinners, but not for breakfast or lunch.  So its been good to start thinking about it.  I'll be able to make sure I put some great items on my grocery list.  I really like omelets for breakfast, and since starting this challenge, have learned egg whites are so low in calories but high in protein, so it makes a great option for breakfast. 

Great job to everyone doing so well!  I hope I can gain back some motivation this week.
