We have strived for several years now to create good healthy alternatives to the typical holiday food fare!

Otherwise, we seem to pay the price for those rich foods that our systems aren't used to!

Working out the day after is always a good idea as well!

BTW. One the fisrt assessment, I lost 4 inches off my waist, 1 inch on my arms and 1/2 on my thighs. I have lost 8 lbs. Most important I have worn several outfits that were previously headed to Goodwill or someother charitable place. Instead of those outfits, I am sending the larger sizes. Have a blessed day.

The hill sucks. Today, I jogged longer (with my prevuiosly injured knee that is finally feeling better) than I have since starting the program. Last week the hill seemed tough. Today, it was my personal challenge. In the end I made it walking and jogging. I will do it again, however, I wanted to be on record as another person that hates the hill.

I can't say it enough, I am so excited and feel honored to be a part of this program. Brandon said, that at the end of the day, it is about: how you look, how you feel and how you perform. That works for me. I already look better, feel better and yes, I perform better. I have a long way to go, but at the end of everyday I am proud of what I have accomplished in working toward going from RoundToRock. Carlos, Bobby, Brandon, thanks for your continued support and most of all encouragement. To my other cohorts on this journey, thanks for your encouragement and most of all your patience when waiting on me to finally finish.

WOW...week 6 already, we're 1/2 way through and I can't believe how far we've all come!!! Everyone in the program has accomplished so much during this process, I am actually starting to see more results as each week passes, not so much on the scale, and thats ok, its; the little things, running/jogging longer w/o stopping, going from 3 rolls to 2...Haha!!!

But most of all, I am so happy with the friends I have made during all of this "adventure"!

I am pretty happy with my first month assessment. I lost almost 6 lbs and cut 41 seconds off my mile.

It can be pretty frustrating after you do a hard workout and burned maybe 700-800 calories then you realize the hamburger you really want is over 1000 calories...forget it! I am finding myslef looking at calories and figuring out how long I would have to workout to work off that item. Makes me want to pick better food choices.

Have throughly enjoyed the workouts with Carlos, Bobby and Brannon. It really is a good feeling after you complete a workout realizing you would never had been able to do that a month ago.

My goal this next month is to cut an additional 8-10 lbs and run a sub 10 minute mile.

I've been both on the high and low road, but I am working on not making excuses anymore, and sticking with it.

I have had the opportunity to watch the Round to Rock participants in both the classroom and in the gym, and am really impressed by their dedication.

Keep up the good work!

Dr Ben's presentation was very impressive. I had no idea the dangers in everyday foods...even foods we were told was "good" for us! I am really looking forward to the second half of his presentaion on toxins.

I went to the grocery store and found the Ezekiel bread Dr Ben mentioned. It is really good!

So far I have lost about 5.5 lbs in three weeks and also some waistline. I am on the last hole in my belts! Bobby Craig mentioned it takes 3500 calories to burn off one pound. That is alot of exercising. I noticed I really think more about what I am eating and the ramifications of it.

This has been such a great experience so far.

Ok, I know these workouts aren't suppose to be easy, which they are not; but I am wondering, am I just getting stronger that makes them seem easier?

We're only 3 wrkout weeks into the program, so I'm sure there's gonna be some wrkouts that are gonna be ALOT tougher than what we've done!

I'm actually looking forward to getting on the scale Monday @ Seton. I'm not going to focus on what the # shows on the scale, its' just going to be a guide as to what I have achieved in the last 4wks. and what else I want to achieve in the next 8wks.!!!

A burpee...1st of all it is torment! But the best way to describe it is you drop down flat on your stomach then push up into a "pushup" position, then jump straight up to standing & clap your hands over your head!!! Do that about 50x... They're a well known football drill; up downs are what I've always called them.

OK, I've got to ask: What's a burpee?
