According to wii fit, I have not logged in for 21 days. And 21 days ago, I was 177. Wasn't happy w/that at all.
Weighed today at 171.1 lbs. Will take that. Still would like to be less but it's not 177
Wii still thinks I'm obsese. Gotta be 170 or less to be considered overweight.
Didn't walk the dog last night. Realized driving to work this morning, I left my gym clothes at home. Sigh...
Now, snow coming again.0 -
Morning Pepper's,
Well just got to work. Had my blood test this morning wont get results until Thursday when I see my doctor. It is freezing here and I had to do a lot of waiting for buses and trains. So I was able to sit back and text Barb. :laugh:
Jacque I would love to text you. I have unlimited. email your number dont put it on here. I will email you mine.
Well still 193 no change but did not expect any. well I guess I should do some work. Will check back later.0 -
Good friday all,
Well weight in at 254.6 so it was a loss, should of been more but got so engrossed with my show I snacked on ceral without even thinking. But I didn't go over my calories for the first time this week so was very happy about that. So if I can keep the momentum going I will be very happy. Didn't walk the dog last night or this morning so will def have to do it when I get home.
I hopefully will get my phone tonight and be able to text again Yeah!!!
Todays goals:
Water
log food
walk on lunch break
me time - going ou tonight with friends! so excited0 -
draggin' butt big time today...so, lastnite I get home from my bus trip and @ 9:50pm I'm takin my oldest son to the ER. In an hour's time his temp went from 102.6 > 103.8, along with headache, stiff neck and aches all over. I freaked and knew I would not sleep unless I knew for sure what he had and that he was ok. dx : viremia. Dr was sure he had flu, they've only had 3 so far...but screening was neg. man the test for that, not nice. nurse was quite rough too. told Dr. son has had pneumonia x2 in the past and then Dr. asks me about autoimmune diseases??? WHAT??? no, he's never been tested. He was born with spina bifida occulta, which is nothing major, so I was told. Dr didn't elate on it, but now I am concerned. anyway...was back home and in my bed around 1:15am. grocery day. car made a drive thru-stop at Hardees. now I wanna barf. supervisor calls to tell me he wants me to drive *as long as I can*, and have surgery *put off* until another bus driver comes back?? WHAT?? what am I suppose to think and say to this???
me time, well I guess drivin to n from the city today, listening to some decent music lifted my spirits a tad. congrats at the scale today friends...I am UP to 195.4. gonna give us a new chart with a new attitude this year. later all.0 -
Kelly - thinking of you.
Jacque - didn't walk my dog either.
Sindy -- stopped snowing here.
Miss V - hoping you're hive free today.
Kizzy - HI.0 -
hi everyone...hope you all had a good weekend. wrestling trip yesterday...was good with the food cuz I took all my own. No concessions for me. over ate when I got home, but it was all healthy. today, not so good. the boyz and I went to my folks to look at old pics....fun. oldest son went back to his dorm today. he will be 21 Wednesday. gosh, do I feel old. the years go so fast. kinda scary to think that in another 20 I'll be pushing 65. oh my. anyway, food was not good today and no exercise all weekend. I have a plan for the coming week, so that is my goal...and with our youngest son starting back college, the routine will be in force again! So, here's to a good start tomorrow. Let's work hard and have a healthy week.
Jacque ~ hope your friends nite out was fun!
Barb ~ I am so far away from my non-obese weight. like 20+.
HI to Vita, Cindy & Kizzy
here's the chart I have been working on...let me know if you want to change anything. Kizzy, I will add you..just let me know you're numbers.

Good Morning Pepper's,
Well now it my busy season. I start my second job doing taxes tonight and every night this week and Saturday. I took my tests over week end and got my scedule. Week end will be hard for my to log depending what location I am in. This will be a long week for me I have my day job off on Thursday but have a bunch of appointments and get my test results back. Hope my sugar levels are good.
Kelly I love the new attitude :drinker: I knew a little shaking would help. Also love the new chart, hoping to see a loss on mine soon. I wont get too much exercise so I really need to stick to my calories while I am doing two jobs. I still need to figure dinner during the week dont think I should wait until 9:30 at night to eat dinner.
Barb we only got 1 inch of snow on my way home it was not so bad.
Jacque I hope you had a great time and you are doing so good. I did not have a great day on Friday did a lot of running around and meals were running with me but I did not over do it. I get my weight check on Thursday from doctors office so we shall see. Have three days now to make sure I am doing the healthy thing. I still think I lost 5 pounds since I saw him 3 months ago so that will be good.
Vita, hope you are doing well and I am very happy about your skating it sound like a lot of fun and exercise.
Kizzy would like to know more about you and if there is anything we can do to help you just let us know. The Pepper's like to really stick together and support goes along way and you have people going through the same things. Look forward to getting to know you.
This will be the best year we are all still working on our selves and are realizing what we have done in the past. So moving forward looks very good. Lets Rock this year and become the healthy Pepper's we know we can be.
Well really got to get to work. will check back later. :bigsmile:0 -
AGGGHHHH -- can't see the chart at work!
Sigh, when I get home.
snowed on Saturday. More snow projected for Tues/Weds. And more snow next week. Yikes.
On Saturday my physical activity was shoveling snow. Yesterday I did do the stationary bike for 40 minutes.
Today, I plan to jog.
Weekend Food, some healthy, some not as wise.... Did drink a big thingy of water this am.
Mentally, trying to shake things off. Visiting w/friends today after work. Feel guilty leaving him home ... but... it's a sanity for me.
We did talk yesterday about his anxiety attack while driving and how the car accident is mentally screwing with him.
So glad to hear him speak about it... so glad to hear it's not just me.0 -
flexible spending accounts. hmmm. first time for us and first experience not going very well. problem not on our end..so will just have to wait and see. w.o.w. quiet here today. been on the phone ALL am and feel as nothing accomplished. mentally exhausted. ugh. Cindy, you are doing very well and I hope things turn out well for you at your appt regarding wt and blood work. busy, and possibly challenging times ahead. have a plan, and just keep it simple. you can do this! Barb, you sound a little better...keep that tight grip. yes, talking about it will help both of you. I was upset for a while after accident with son. the impact/noise is what I can't seem to let go of. speaking of snow...it is coming sometime today. but I heard the East coast could be hit harder. be careful Barb and Cindy. hope the rest of the pepper's are fairing well. thinkin of you all...have a good one..make it count!0

Sorry to hear your FSA experience isn't going well.0

Kelly never had to use flexible spending I would rather just pay as I go. Have not heard good things about it.
Barb I agree with Kelly talking about it really does help. Dont feel guilty were would he be if you go insane? Alone and dealing all the time by himself. He will get through this and you too, but give yourself those breaks. I was down with a surgery and was waited on but then I felt guilty for asking for everything and got up once and a while to do it myself it took me a long time to do things but if you dont you will keep doing it. He may need to fend for himself once and a while (so you can take a break) :flowerforyou:
It is rather funny I reset my goals on the 1st and changed my setting to loose 1 pound a week. Of course it gave me more food to eat. Today sitting at my desk I just grabbed m&m's out of snack basket and ate them with out a thought. Will have to move basket for a while. Now I only have 550 left for dinner which is not too bad but I have to go until 9:30 tonight I guess it will be fruit, veggies and yogurt for dinner tonight. 220 calories for one little bag of m&m was not thinking :noway: and that is what I am working with. :laugh: These are the things I am trying to break the mindless eating, I did not even want the m&m's :laugh: :laugh:
We are getting snow Wed, it is suposed to be a bad storm. Boston you just never know, I will be prepared just in case. Well back to work.0 -
Hey all, havnt had a chance to catch up and see how everyone has been doing but wanted to stop by and check in. Doing good, hives off and on but not bad, went to gym eating and drinking well. got our orders so that stress is off my shoulders...NOT GOING TO San Diego:( staying here in washington but going to a new base close to seattle:) to Bremerton, i have never been there so I will be taking a trip soon:) THEY have a huge awesome roller derby team there:) YEAH
anyhow gotta run will catch up later0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
Well did good did go over by 45 calories but dont think that will hurt me. My coat and boots are so heavy I am huffing while doing my short walks. Well snow storm is coming. we shall see how much.
well busy this morning will check back later.0 -
snow's a coming here as well. 6-10 inches predicted for me. So, we'll see......
I did go to a friends house last night. After an hour, tears began to quietly stream down my face. I didn't quite verbalize the why I was crying. Thankfully, my friends just let me w/o asking questions. The husband just hugged me and that made the tears come down harder.
I did have 60 oz of water yesterday. Haven't begun water yet today.0 -
yesterday ended up bad...today is starting out bad...food wise. I slipped a little on the (newly) snow covered ice this am and swung my arm out....shoulder is very sore now. have been icing it off an on all am. right now I am tired and want to sleep. have a bus trip later, after my route.
it is lightly snowing, youngest ds out plowing now. yes, ladies on the East coast...you're gonna get dumped on, from what they have been saying in our news. please be careful driving, etc. will be thinking of you in this coming storm.
Cindy ~ I bet you burn more calories when you wear your boots and coat!
Barb ~ love, hugs, and prayers:flowerforyou:
hope the rest of you are doing well...take care everyone!0 -
Barb I am sorry you are down. I am thinking of you things will get better soon. :flowerforyou:
Kelly be careful, I think I may let myself hit the saving yourself hurts sometimes worse than the actual fall. Put on your slip feet as I call it. :laugh:
Well they are saying 10-15 inches going to hit us. lots of snow and ice under it from the melting of the last snow fall. We still have a lot from a couple of weeks ago. Its Boston we never know what we are going to get. :laugh: Like I said got my blanket coat and boots all set for bus stop :laugh: :laugh: I call my coat that because it is a 2X london fog down coat that goes to my ankles. Even though it is too big I can put lots of layers and stay warm because the bus stop is across the street from Lynn beach. it gets really cold at evening commute. Hope I dont have to work tomorrow would like a snow day.
Well back to work. doing well on food today.0 -
Estimates here are 6-10 inches of snow depending on where. Very south, Cape May, is projected 2-3 inches. Very north, like 10 inches.
Sad as this sounds, I looking forward to a base closure - no work day.
Now if the base doesn't close, I may just take my own leave.
Nearly an hour left of work, almost done 40oz of water.0 -
Finally laughter & smiles from me.....
Dave was up in the attic today. Why I don't know... Anyway he found a section of the attic he had not explored before.
He found 2 bags of women's clothes. Gave the bags to me. It's maternity clothes from the previous owner. I estimate the clothes are from late 80s/early 90s.
I put on the "worst" outfit in the bag. Matching floral shirt & leggings. Dave saw me & said get a pillow.
We took pics & posted on FB. People are commenting with Congratulations.
It's hilarious..... truly I am laughing.... what I haven't done in a long time0 -
happy hump day ladies...trying hard today. been keeping busy in the kitchen, but not eating everything. cleaning out some cupboards and the frig. also doing laundry and other cleaning here. Tyler, my oldest is 21 today. I weigh what I did when I delivered him...this bothers me as I have really let myself go. anyway, gonna try to have a better day and do well.
hope Barb and Cindy are able to dig out..be well ladies.
missing Jacque, Vita and Kizzy. come back soon!0 -
Been sick since Saturday, feelin a very little better today. Had to get injections yesterday at surgery sites, very painful. Will write more when feelin better. Sorry MIA just feelin to bad to do anything0
-
evenin'. well, did ok today. had stir fry for supper. still no exercise. I just can't get going there. see surgeon tomorrow. nite ladies.0
-
Kelly, I weigh what I was when I delivered my 3rd child. And of course you saw the "pregnant" pics. That was such a laugh....
snow.... caused a 4 hour delay in opening the base. I decided I not going in for 5 hours, so I took leave for the rest of the day. Took Dave to his doctor's appt then he wanted chinese buffet for lunch. I over indulged.
My exercise yesterday was shoveling snow from my driveway & walk. This time my neighbor did not. I was on my own.

ok, so I will be having surgery mid Feb...have to call back in the am and get it all arranged. I have a partial tear in my rotator cuff, and another area that shows some concern. He wanted to do cortisone today and I said NO! I can continue to drive, and keep with the Ibuprophen and ice. dh went with me and he thought the surgeon was arrogant.:huh:
anyway, I did a little shopping before hand, and ladies, the dressing room was not kind today. wow. so, hopefully seeing and feeling this will motivate me. more than anything I want to feel better and look better.
nite all, here's to lower number's tomorrow! :flowerforyou:0 -
