lol we are a "group" of ladies! back in early '09 our team formed as the Green Team. Later that year we wanted to change/add something to the name and spice it up a little...So now we are the Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's! You're welcome to join us on this journey if you like!

I am so happy right now! 178.6 this am! tomorrow is tape measure day! not sure I can get to a mini goal of 178. keeping busy today with house cleaning, laundry and might even wash one side of our house....algae is appearing from all the rain we've had...plus, the windows could use a good scrubbing. will check in later and post work out plan for the week. Hope you're all having a good Friday!

Hey, I knew it was going to be an up week.... went up 4lbs. sigh, 172

So, let me focus on what went well this week

1. took daughter to her sleep studies & I didn't get attitude or sassy mouth from her during the study.
2. my love got his c-pac machine today so that means I might be sleeping good tonight
3. finished a rather big last minute rush project at work
4. love got a project car for 10yr old son.... it's a sweet 84 trans am.... something that I will be driving off/on -- of course if you can get me out of my purple car...
5. did the best I could.....

Good Morning Pepper's,
Well my vacation was wonderful. I am working Mon and Tues. this week and this is the first chance on a computer. So gained 1 pound on vacation but not logging it because I think it was water weight we shall see Friday. I am so busy trying to finish a report due tomorrow. I will check back later and see how everyone is doing.

Kelly congrats on the loss :drinker:

Have a great day :bigsmile:

Hi all...
I was looking forward to going to the gym at the last hour of the workday. Instead, I'm not. My boss asked me to stay in the office. Now, I can go on Tuesday. Usually, Tuesday is not a fitness approved day.

So..... I'm grateful to have a few hours notice instead of being told at 4pm...oh, by the way, can you stay till 5pm.

Talk later.

Hello all! I am back! had a wonderful vacation that involved camping in a tent in the dirt;) LOVED IT and hadn't done it in far too long!
Lastnight had our first roller derby game:) I was captain and we won 141 to 139 and I got MVP.
Gotta run some errans today but hope to get some good walking in

Hi ladies!! Good to hear Vita and Cindy had great vacations!! Great to have you back again....it's been kinda quiet. Hope all continues to go well with Jacque.

Here are the results for July/August ~ ( total for 3 mos )
neck - >.25 ( .5 )
tricep -.25 ( 1.5 )
bust -1.25 ( 2.5 )
abductor 0 ( 1.25 )
waist 0 ( 4.25 )
abdomen 1 ( 3 )
hips -1.5 ( 3.25 )
thigh 0 ( 4 )
calf -.25 ( .5 )
waist to hip ratio .84 * increase here...losing in my hips...and it needs to be lost from my waist! * still working on getting it below 80.
22 inches gone in 3 mos; lost the most in my waist, hips and thighs. am sure jogging has helped in those areas.
wt 198.4 to 177.8 ( - 20.6lbs ) When I joined MFP in Jan of '09, my goal was 160. I am about 17 from that. I will still be in the overweight category BMI of 27.5 Might consider going lower, but will just have to see how I do. Maintenance is my weakness, so I need to be at a wt that I can live with...while keeping exercise consistent. I know exercise is what will always tone and energize me. Making that a priority is a must.

Behind on my exercise for the last 3 days....so not sure I will make my personal August goal of 75 miles walked/jogged by tomorrow.

Take care everyone...one day at a time!

Good Morning Pepper's,
MissVita I guess we both went camping. I was in a tent as well. I went to VT. It was wonderful, we visited a farm and went to all the little country shops and of course had smores over the camp fire. I am on vacation again at 5PM today and dont go back to work until Tuesday next week. This time I am just hanging around the house and getting some things organized and lots of yard work to do.

well lots to do before I can leave today. Will check back later.

hI ladies.... just saying hi.... hubby hoping to get his trans am today so I may not make it to Curves.
Will say he's very happy about this new muscle car. Well, it's new to him the car is a 1984.

Speaking of rides .... on Saturday night I saw another PLUM CRAZY Charger... except this one was 1974. Mine is 2007. I was on the highway heading towards Atlantic City. My first thought was drag him... my reality thought was no, don't... the turn off the highway is not far off. I listened to my reality thought.

evenin folks.

well, i did not make my 75 mile goal. short about 4-5 miles. was gonna do 2 workouts today, but didn't happen. so, gonna keep with this as it motivates me. gonna up it and shoot for 90 miles this month!

i have hammer toes ( 2nd toe ) and today when I got back from my walk/jog this am, i had a blood blister on the tip of my toe. so it must have been rubbing in my shoe. now I don't know what to do. get new shoes? different socks. put a corn pad on the tip of my toe prior to running....? it is pretty sore tonite....and I can't let this slow me down with my workout plans....surgery for it sounds horrible.

also, had a sugar / salt craving DAY. hand in the chip bag....spoon in the ice cream box..... carb over load. UGH!

barb....i envy all your hot rods! our sons drive newer cars than my dh and I do. we are still waiting to hear settlement on sons totaled car. he now wants an 02 Pontiac Bonneville. I get the 98 Buick Century. are you a nascar fan?

cindy ~ your VT vaca sounds like a great time! enjoy your week at home!

nite all

Kelly -- unsure what to do about your footwear & the blistering. Has your dr suggested a custom orthopedic? FYI - these are very pricey. Mine were $200+ for each foot and I need ones for both feet. Lucky for me, it was covered under my flexible spending account so I was reimbursed for the cost. Now, once a year, I go to the foot dr for "adjustments." The adjustment on my orthopedics are $99 - also reimbursed under my flexible spending account.

No, not a nascar fan.
Dave plans on getting the car Thursday night. Thus I was able to do curves last night.

I didn't log it in but I DID DO 10 min jog (then the knees just hurt too much), 20 min medium speed walk and 30 minute curves.

Work is up to my eyeballs.... gotta go.

internet outage has driven me nuts today. lots of rain and storms last nite. muggy meter says oppressive. ewww!

finally heard from insurance about son's car/settlement. he came out pretty good considering the circumstances. it kinda made me nauseated when they said we could "buy back' the car from their salvage co. ds spent $11,000 for it and we could get it back for $2200. only a memory now.

no exercise. it was chips, ice cream and Fruit Loops today. i gotta stop this. my last 2 cycles have been 19-21 days apart. could this be pms? i thought when you went thru peri menopause they were to get farther apart?????

anyway, hope ya all are having a good hump day. glad it's almost over and we are closer to a 3-day weekend. big plans anyone?

PlumCrazyGirl

No big plans for us.. Hubby getting his car today. So, he may spend the weekend doing some detailing. I've got 2 car shows in September and hubby may enter his trans am in the same shows.
Of course, there's STILL school clothing shopping to do. My son needs sneakers. SInce been in 2nd grade, my son has been wearing mens size shoes. He used to be able to wear my older combat boots... these days, no.

Leaving work at 12. Going to get lunch w/hubby then off to get car... then I'm visiting friends tonight. Possible dinner out. However, if not, their hot tub has my name all over it! heck with the pool, I'll take the warm relaxing water.

OFF FRIDAY - SATURDAY - SUNDAY - MONDAY! yeah.
