Topic: RE: Walking Group Roll Call
STYLZ - thanks for doing this....I have 37 miles for last week. Today and Saturday were not great walking days, but playing with the grandkids was worth the sacrifice. I hope to do more next week. Will check back in with everybody when we get back home and I return to my posts on Tuesday. I am so excited - I hope we have lots of miles and you can figure out where we are on the map!!!! Barb

Don't like to walk, you can still help us "walk" to Cali!!
I found an "equivalancy" chart in the NYC Marathon guide, here it is! Even when you're doing your least favorite activity (house cleaning) you're helping us walk across America
Aerobics (moderate intensity) 30 minutes = 1 mile
Bowling, 30 minutes = 1 mile
Boxing, 10 minutes = 1 mile
Basketball, 60 minutes = 2 miles
Climbing Stairs, 15 minutes - 1 mile
Cycling/Mountain Biking (13 mph) 6 miles = 1 mile
Dancing, moderate to rapid 20 minutes = 1 mile
Eliptical Machine, 10 minutes = 1 mile
Frisbee, 30 minutes = 1 mile
Garden, digging 30 minutes = 2.5 miles
Garden, push mowing 30 minutes = 2.25 miles
Garden, raking 30 minutes = 1 mile
Garden, planting 30 minutes = 1.5 miles
Golf, 9 holes = 1 mile
House Cleaning, 20 minutes = 1 mile
Jumping Rope, 10 minutes = 1 mile
Mowing Lawn, 20 minutes = 1 mile
Racketball, 60 minutes = 3 miles
Roller Blading 15 minutes = 1 mile
Running (5.5 mph) 1 mile = 1 mile
Spinning 30 minutes = 2 miles
Stairmaster (moderate intensity) 15 minutes = 1 mile
Soccer, 60 minutes = 3 miles
Swimming 10 minutes = 1 mile

beautiful day, lots and lots of exercise, but bad food choices...
ok so I don't know what I was thinking when I said we were going to do half the rail trail today (16 miles) since 16 miles takes you to one end and theres no teleporter to take you back you um............ have to trek back 16 miles... 
oops!! it was a great ride tho. I took some pictures of the foliage when I'm home I'll upload them (forgot the cable)
It took us 6 hours to complete, we stopped for lunch when we got to the end of the trail, rested and then came back (I bet we'll sleep like babies tonight!!!!!)
heres my meals
breakfast - 2 apple protein muffins
medium coconut iced coffee, xmilk, 2 splenda
bike ride - protein bar
lunch - fried buffalo shrimp... the almighty zen (fried food, buffalo sauce and shrimp, should that even be allowed?? lol)
few bites of salad
Dinner - whole wheat pasta salad with zuchini and carrots with grilled chicken
going to the sports bar again tonight, Rockies against the Sillies (lets hope for a sweep after what they did to the Mets 
)... not sure what we'll eat, but Ill fill it in tomorrow
vitamins - took them this morning
water - 3 - 32oz containers
exercise - 32 miles on the bike, holy cow... writing it seems so real
hows everyone doing? let us know

Topic: RE: WDYET?? *** FRIDAY ***
I am finding that I stay full better if I keep the carbs below 40 gr. or 30% of my daily calories and keeping them natural (no man made carbs) and the fat at 25% of calories. That suites me fine since I am a protein-a-holic. I have a hard time staying low on protein since my goal is 68, I usually have a hard time staying under 100. My nutritionist told me not to go over 78 because it will convert to excess calories and cause a maintain effect. After losing 71% of excess, I don't want to backslide and still have 29% more to go. Everyday is a gift of life for me. 
GOD Bless this surgery and the tool.
