Happy Friday Pepper's,
Well this is a good Friday for me. :drinker: I am at the same weight of 197, I would not believe this but clothes have been fitting better and the reason is in the last two months I lost 2.5 inches in my waist and 4.5 inches in my hips, everything else is the same but wow did not expect that much. Very very happy with that. :bigsmile:

Hope everyone did as well, try measuring made my day :laugh:

Will check back later.

Hey everyone....well I am down 3.8 this week to 187.2! yay, I am thrilled! Not sure I want to own that 1st goal of 189.9. I also met 2 other goals,....lose 5% body wt and lose 10 lbs, at 188.4....Set these goals May 28. Again, logging and being honest with myself is working....along with some exercise and water. Lately, I am feeling AND thinking "I can do this, it is not that difficult." So, if any of you are struggling or frustrated, just keep with it, and find what works for you....seek that motivation that [keeps] you motivated!

Cindy ~ sharing in your happiness today! you must feel so great! I will be measuring on Monday, so I hope I have good results as well! all that walking is toning you up girl!

had my well woman exam earlier today. She thinks my Simvistatin ( generic Crestor ) for chol is causing muscle knots in my shoulders. I see my cardiologist the end of July. I have to have blood work in a couple of weeks...lipids, thyroid, general panel and checking for inflammation (arthritis). She wants me to have an xray b/c of some hip pain I have been having. Yrs ago I went to chiro for the pain, and xrays showed my hips are not level, difference in leg length, which I think is common. Also have to have a mamm. So, July will be busy with appts. My bp was 110/68. yay!

going out to mow now. dh leaving for Canada later. will be quiet for a week.....anyone want to go out for lunch? :bigsmile:

have a good one pepper's! will check in later this evening.

Wow Kelly 3.8 pounds that is so great. I just felt my pants were fitting better but never thought to measure until this week. Feel very positive I will see that scale go down. I just had all my blood work done(almost all the things you are having done I just did). Still need the mamm done. The simvistatin was not working and my doctor put me on the crestor and it is working very well. Still concerned about my sugar level but see's I am doing this and gave me until Sept. to loose more weight. He gave me a reasonable 2 pounds a month ( I want a pound a week, but we shall see).

Well check back later. :bigsmile:

Hey all... what a week... last week of school, a car show, today we were at the lake and did cub scout camp check in.

Starting at 8:30am, I'll be working Cub Scout Day Camp -- a week of 10 boys - age 10. Let's see how normal I am at the end of the week. Being outside all day, in low 90 temp & high humidity, I will be drinking a lot of water.

I didn't weigh in ... I think I 'm up.

Here's what I'm eating right now.... frozen blueberries. yummy. Last weekend, I picked 12lbs of blueberries at the local farm. I froze most of them so we can enjoy blueberries in the fall & winter. Frozen blueberries are making a tasty snack.

Congrats to all who were successful in their weight loss and inches.

And Kelly -- yeah, I would love to go out to lunch.... By mid week I will be look for any chance to escape these boys.

Happy Monday mornin' team! Here's to a good week for all of us! Yesterday I went to a wedding anniversary w/MIL and then out for supper w/my ds's and parents. Not a clean day by any means, but did ok w/portions. Ready to get back to it today and looking forward to a hard workout!

Ok, so here's my stats for the last month.....
wt ~ down 11.4 lbs ( 198.4 to 187 )
b/p ~ from 132/90 to 104/70
resting pulse ~ from 80 to 56
Did I get it Right ? ( in the 'clean' dept ? ) 22 yes, 6 no, and (3) of those 6 days were only 1 bad meal...so progress! I still ate my favorites in moderation...and had 5 really bad pms days. I have flagged my calendar for these days and hope to battle back this month!
20 days of exercise....I started C25K May 29, and will be starting wk 5 today! I am so amazed that I can jog 5 minutes straight! Also, I am upping my free wts, today as well. On my 30 min walk/jogs I have gone from 1.88 miles to 2.38 miles.
measurements:
neck ~ same
tricep -3/4
bust -1 1/2
abduct -1
waist - 3 1/4
abdomen -1
hips -1 1/4
thigh - 3 1/4
calf - 1 1/4
13 1/4 inches total....GONE!!!!!!!:bigsmile: So, I am very happy with myself and all the improvements in just 31 days! This has motivated me and lifted my spirits! My goals for this month are to push myself more in working out. I still believe exercising is the biggest key in reshaping my body, toning me and even more important, getting my heart healthier. I have always been a slacker when it comes to *any* form of movement...lack of self esteem, and now, I look forward to getting in a good workout and sweatin'! So, pepper's I just want you to know, that it can be done. Take one day at a time and b.e.l.i.e.v.e. in yourself!! Do it for no one but YOU! Whatever you put into it, is what you will get back! Be honest with yourself and realize that the choices you make will get you on your way to the person you want to be. It is a lifelong journey....accept that....and begin to live it.
Ok, well, that is enuf! sorry bout that....anyways, have a great day and make it count! will check in later.

Good Afternoon Pepper's,
That is so great Kelly. Next time we are not loosing we have to remember to take measurements.

I did excellent this week end, I burned over 1200 doing 3 hours of yard work, could not eat all my calories had 400 left over, did another hour of yard work on saturday and had 100 calories left over. So exercise and did very well with my eating. Drank tons of water too.

Cindy ~ sounds like you blasted the calories away this weekend! how great for you! I have a problem eating all my calories too sometimes....when I don't eat enuf early in the day then I am really screwed. Don't really want to eat 700-900 for supper! ugh! I need to plan my day better! I average 1300-1500, but am upping that this week cuz I have been a hungrier the last few days.

Good Morning Pepper's,
Had a great day up until mom and I stopped and picked up dinner at boston market last night. I had no idea the pot pie was 800 calories. I ended up going over by 500 calories. :sad: I have been doing so good, I hope this does not effect friday's weight. I will be very up set.

today eating very light and hope to walk a little more than the 15 mins I did this morning. (still not adding little walks for exercise) dont need the extra calories.

well have to check back later will log my veggies and fruit later.

One more day of camp left. The first two days had weather in mid 90s. Yesterday and today, mid 80s.
Overall, camp isn't too bad --unless you count the snake the boys found today. See pic on my fb.

Talk to you soon.

kelly_a

fruits~ banana, *strawberries*
veggies ~ onion, *broccoli*, pepper, baby carrots (stir fry)

OMG BARB!! I saw that snake earlier! I would have passed out! I am sooooooo afraid of snakes! :noway: I don't even like worms! Yikes! Is it a poisonous snake? I have never seen one like that! Did you just leave it alone then...or is it a project now? :happy: Bet all them little scouts have had a great b/c of their awesome leader!! Hope to hear more soon!

Good luck at the scale tomorrow. Lose, gain or stay the same, we're all in this!
