Wow Miss V , No wonder ur stresses! Just reading your message was getting me a little stressed. Take some major deep breaths and meditate in prayer! I will be praying and extra prayer for you today! Try not to worry about your weight right now and focus on one thing at atime. Love you!! and will pray as soon as I am done typing....................................................................Amen!
Well was a total slacker this week but still mange to lose a pound so happy about that. Will try to get a walk or two in this weekend, since it def going to be an eat feast. My Brother came in last night and damn he looks younger than me and he 5 years older!! It must be that Seattle living. I did read yesterday that Seattle and Portland was among one of the most relaxed and fit city to live in. Maybe I should move? haha.
Well got to run, lots to do today. Talk at you all later
Oh by the way I said yes on the trip event page on FB, talk to dear mom last night and she said she check on the kids for me!!!! Yeah me!!

Hi Pepper's,
Things are really crazy, sorry have not checked in, have not really been on, no weight loss this week, no gain but did not expect with auntie flow visiting. Well it is going to be a long road to recovery. Have to schedule deep cleanings and in the mean time deal with the pain. It is getting so hard to keep my head at work it is so busy and still getting more work. Trying to do some of my tax online class.

But wanted to check in, I will at least try to pop in once a day to say I am ok. Well hope everyone did well and lost a few. Back to work for me.

you guys.

According to wii fit, I was up.... seems like I'm up then down then up then down...... perhpas I need to find a more accurate scale.

Miss V -- the stress is completely understandable. Hoping all levels out soon for you.

Sindy - yuck. that's all I can say .... yuck. Hope the end is soon for your dental work.

Jacque -- yeah -- why I'm leaving Dave behind.... kids...

Kelly - hope your weekend is ok.

Hello SHGP's!

Been trying to catch up here.... I am so sleepy right now, but all the pain I had last nite is gone today. I think my entire body was just tired from all the walking. And, I am feeling better just by getting back to eating my normal diet. Yay! We have 3 Thanksgiving's to go to this year:ohwell: ....one Sunday, then Thanksgiving Day and the Saturday after. UGH. :sick: Really? :huh: Seriously? :noway: Feel like I should be on water only from here on out. That's why I need to get going on the exercise again. But, truly, I should be doing it anyway as part of my lifestyle makeover.....

PlumCrazyGirl

Hi all - at a work trip. Last night, I went out w/friends. One I work with...one does the same job as me in another state. Had a great time. I did portion control at dinner... but the after dinner drinks.... well, we enjoyed.

The "main" street with the shopping, pubs and resturants is a 25 minute walk away. We did a lot of walking yesterday. Plan to do a lot tonight..even though it's raining.

Of course, the school counselor calls me with a situation regarding my oldest so I missed today's afternoon session dealing with that. Sigh.... I'm hoping the situation is under control & I don't need to leave the conference.

Breakfast & lunch was a buffet but I felt I made good decisions - yogurt, fruit, salad, chicken, etc. Dinner I'll make good decisions, after dinner drinks.... maybe not again.

This conference has 360+ attendees from across the US & territories. Based on my tenure in two human resources specialities, I'm seeing a lot of familiar faces. It's nice. Some I see on fb, some I only see at conferences/traning, some I haven't met before.

That's it for now.... talk soon.

Morning Pepper's,
Well mouth all infected again, caught a cold and it made my immunity system very low. Was home sick all day monday, came back to work yesterday to piles of work. Have my first of 4 deep cleaning appointment on saturday morning. Hope it helps with the infection. I am just way down and not logging or exercising. It is pouring I am not gaining because I am not eating much. I dont want to loose weight like that. So when I do I have been eating high calorie foods. (not bad foods).

Thank you all for your support, I am trying to check in but found myself with out a computer most of the week end and Monday. Work is so busy I have not been able to find a min. to check in. I will try harder to check in daily.

MissV - glad your hives are under control. Hope hubby returns soon :flowerforyou:

Kelly looks like you are working on getting back into shape, no pain (no loose) (keeping the gain word away) :laugh:

Jacque you are doing so good. I hope to get back on track, not doing bad on foods but the no exercise I am getting that tierd feeling.

Barb. you sound so busy dont forget to take time for yourself.

Well by my self today at work and it is raining so no walk today. I did bring a healthy lunch so no worries. Have a great day in case I dont get to check back in today.

jacque509

Morning all!!
Well its another beautiful day in Texas, so wish I didn't have to work "sigh" Family leaving today :frown: wish I could go with them. My brother gave me a pedometer last night and told me to keep on walking. Man I wish he lived here because he was a great motivator over the weeknd and I am going to really miss that. So I am determine to get focus here, and get serious. i want to lose at least 20 pounds before we see each other so that I have an excuse to buy new clothes for the trip. i found this beatuiful red london fog coat I want for the winter. Oh how I wish i had the money to buy the clothes I love. So I decided for evry 5 pounds I lose I am going to but me a peice of clothing. Hopefully that will help.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Kelly- Love ya girl
V- Yeah!!! no hives, Stay warm-not to warm don't want the hives to come back.
Barb-try to enjoy your work trip
Cindy-:frown: Really hope you feel better soon, I know how much I hate it when i don't feel good for a long time. Praying

kelly_a

evenin' ladies....well, I did it. I sat down, logged my food for tomorrow...and then made a plan for the next 3 weeks, for EXERCISE. I hope this gets me movin' again. I have goals for 'x' amount of days and 'x' amount of minutes. If I do what I have planned and stick to daily calories, wt loss will happen. Tis the season...oh boy! Like Jacque, I want to be down some wt too come April/May. I have basically been hovering in the upper 70's - upper 80's for almost 2 yrs now. Time to take it to the next level. I guess if I can get to the upper 60's and upper 70's, well then, that will be good...and even better if I can maintain that. Here I go!

So, for Sunday, Thanksgiving at my inlaws, I have to take nor bake nothing. We are all doing it there...we will go early in the am..so will be a long day.. I hope it goes well, as inlaws will likely leave next week for the winter.

Also, my oldest will be home from college...this Friday!! I have not seen him for almost a month. I really miss him. His room is ready!!

Vita ~ so, are the hives gone, left the house? sure hope so...I was frustrated with you. Glad the earthquake was nothing major. Do you work at the school? when will your dh return? Thinking of you and all that is going on for you ((hugs))

Barb ~ sounds like you are having a fun work/trip! those are the best kind!! hope things are good with your kiddo...hang in there MOM!

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy....I am so concerned for you...this has gone on long enuf. things have to improve soon for you toots. that's great you are keeping it healthy with your diet...exercise can hold off. sending get well vibes, wishes and prayers to you..((hugs))

Jacque ~ love hearing about you and your bro. that is so special! I have never been able to get a pedometer to work for me...and I have tried all kinds. They are very popular, so it must be me. :ohwell: YES!! will be 2 years for you and I in Jan!! Let's get movin gurl!

Have a good one all! love you's....

jacque509

Ok so bad news and good news I walked a total of 4 miles today YEAH!!!! I worked out at the gym for 30min YEAH!!!! now my scale is acting up and this is the second digital scale that messed up on me so I decided to say what the heck and go backe to a plain old scale and now I am sooooo unhappy. It appears that the digital scale is weighting me wrong, was sucpicous after weighing on mom scale and it weight me heavy too. So Friday I will change my weight according to the new scale which is 10 LBS!!!!! heavier:sad: :huh: :embarassed: :indifferent: :grumble:

ab_shutterbug

That's okay - stick with one scale. Only use it once a week. Keep on trucking - keep your eye on the healthy eating and exercising goal. Go Jacque!

HI all.well had a good day worked at teh preschool, lights were out for 1 hour of more and there was about 16 preschoolers not very happy in the dark:( But we made it as fun as we could! did light cleaning took a bath and relaxed. Went to a friends house for dinner ate a hot dog:huh: brought a green salad and some rice junk, but had a fun time playing some UNO and what not with her as the kids played on a game.

(that were 65$ in 2001 taht i got after teh bootcamp weight loss) put them on and what do you know zipped those suckers up!?!!? must admit taht I will not be wearing them out of the house though as the "Acid wash" color is not HOT nor is the way that they fit me now LOL BUT the point was that they did fit!!!! that is 9 years later and that much closer to a size 10? WOW along with the shock that I weighed myself this morning and the scale said 188 Havn't seen that number ever taht I remember..hope taht I wasn't dreaming and that it sticks there for fridays weigh in :smooched: ...
Kelly...HIVEs have left the house this far..I have a running joke taht I am allergice to the huibby because they left with him!! But I know stress was a big one...He will be gone until MID may I do believe to Iraq.....
Barb~ So jealous of youre outing with co workers:) sounds like fun!
