Morning Pepper's,
Well time to face the music and Pepper's, for the last 3 weeks I have been doing nothing, not counting calories, not exercising, not even going to give any excuses. I could come up with a dozen or two. I know when I stepped on the scale on Friday I was not happy it was a gain of 5 pounds. I will wait until this friday to confirm that much.

Now that I got that out I was so upset I just did not want to check in. I really need to get on track will start over today and really work at it. I scheduled a walk at lunch with one of my clients so will get a good walk in today. and even if it is cold will try to walk again everyday. (so out of shape).

Well Kelly hope your pain is getting better. I will check back in after lunch and catch up with everyone.

Check back later.

morning ladies...yesterday was goin well until my mom insisted we stop and have breakfast after my dr appt....i wanted to go home cuz i was tired, needin pain meds, heavy flo. but i'll comment on my appt first....he touched my upper/arm shoulder area and my hand to make sure i had feeling...the he felt for my pulse. we went over my surgical photos. said there is no sign of arthritis. i told him about my pains and he said i need too push thru it. i don't have to use the foam barrier with my sling anymore, yay! gave me a prescription for motrin 800mg. i go back in 6 wks (4/25). now onto Village Inn. i had a 'make your own' 3 egg omlet / sp? with mushroom and sausage, 3 pancakes, and hashbrowns. a little of each was boxed to take home. on the way out we donated a $ for some fund raiser and received a slice of pie....i chose the chocolate. breakfast was about 9:45, and around 1 ish i ate my pie. within an hour i was sick...nauseated, cramping bowels. totally miserable on the couch til therapy time...which was uncomfortable. she gave me 2 more exercises and commented my rom was better today. i am concerned that i cannot even lift my arm up on my own. no muscle strength at all. none. a supper of mostly water and a few visits to the rr... by bedtime i was back to me again. gosh it ain't worth it. the sugar/pie is what did it. blech. will try hard to do better today.

cindy...it's ok. we all have weeks like that. i know myself, even months. we share a common battle, you're not alone. you have been extremely busy, so give yourself some slack. just try to take one day at a time and plan as much as you can...and follow thru. commit to it. i know you can do it, and you know it as well. we're here to ride this journey with you!

kelly_a

hi everyone...thinkin of you all and wishing a good day. didn't have the best eating yesterday, over in cals about 300. having some nicer days here..50's / 60's. gonna try and go for a short walk. take care :flowerforyou:

kelly_a

# 45 today. nothing planned but sure my folks will be stopping by. youngest son is making me a cake. have therapy later. have a happy day all.

jacque509

Hi,
Sorry things are crazy for me right now. My stress level have reach Defcom 1, I even been smoking again and I am really mad at myself that I let everything get me to this level. Wish i could say that I will be better tomorrow but my spirts are brokeen. Got to find a new job and then maybe I can get this all together again.
I will try to talk more when I can, is my only goal at the moment.
Hope all of you are ok.
Praying for ya Kelly
barb you Ok?
Cindy i know we will get it together soon
V whaats up?

kelly_a

been up since 4:30. still tired but can't sleep. haven't weighed yet, likely gonna be up, after celebrating...

gonna make a suggestion here....instead of making a new 'topic' each friday, how bout we just keep with the thread until it is full/locked? we are a very small group and rarely get more than 2-3 pages, plus, we would have a longer time period tracked and therefore saved longer. i know i have made comments on threads and tried to research it, and it's gone....not sure how long topics are saved or the data required before something is taken off. hope this is manageable for you all....

therapy went good. she said i am improving. ds made me a cake, green frosting, shamrock candies and all! had Subway for supper, had 1/2 of my 6". taking lily to vet this am for check on her eye. looking forward to seeing oldest ds return from tx.

will check in later

kelly_a

dearest smokin' hot green pepper friends.....so many of us are going thru very extreme, dark times right now....i'm feeling your pains like they were my own. and though this may seem impossible, there is value in our difficulties, and we do come through on the other side. most situations are not permanent. try to stay positive, keep it simple, and fill your life with joy wherever you can find it. hang in there, you're surrounded by love here...i will keep you close at heart and send prayers.

God sustains us daily

kelly_a

hi everyone...just wanted to wish you all a nice day. let's have a good week and focus on why we are here. c'mon gang, do it for **you**:flowerforyou:

PlumCrazyGirl

Hi all -- since 3/9, my life has been turned upside down. So much has occurred. On 3/14, my primary doctor put me out of work for stress - prescribed anti- anxiety & anti-depressants plus blood pressure medication for my soaring blood pressure.

Let me add Dave was hospitalized on 3/10 -no idea when he'll be released. He's in a Philadelphia hospital which is an hour drive from the house. And having challenges w/my oldest daughter & drug use.

It's been tough, very tough for me. My home computer isn't available thus I'm here at the library letting you know I'm managing the best I can.

I can see your posts to my profile on my email via cell phone - just not able to respond. I can see a FB message via my phone. Those I can respond to. Of course, your text messages & calls mean a great deal to me.

I'm losing weight - could be I attend as many kickboxing classes as I can during my out of work time. Could be I'm eating less. Some of this weight loss is stress.

Thinking of you all.... Take care.
Barb

PlumCrazyGirl

Oh, forgot to add, I'm in counseling..... much needed for this time in my life.

MissVitaVonCherry

OH my goodness BARB!??! I am so sorry that you have all of these stressors going on in your life. Your body is deffinatly loosing weight ecause of stress!.....I sure hope taht everything starts to get better for you and that it happens FAST! you are suck a strong womand to be dealing with all of these things by yourself! Know that we are here for you and praying for you and your family! If you get a chance to talk and want to we are here !
I hope all my pepper friends have a good day

kelly_a

hey vita chicky...glad you're doing well and good job on the exercises! i wanna too...
barb ... my heart is breaking.. know that we all care so much for you hugs

just wanted to check in and say hi. not much goin on. dh has bronchitis. he made a pulley for me to use for my new shoulder exercises. i also stopped my prescription pain meds today and now am taking motrin 800, 3 x day. been cloudy, too many days here. longing for the sun...just a few hours would help. in laws coming for a visit later. they arrived home monday afternoon and we have not seen them yet. sub bus driver called, she is having major probs on my bus. parents have called the principal, dean of students, the superintendent, and my supervisor...she said it is affecting her driving??? :noway: geez, makes me miss them even more...she said they ask a lot when am i returning:frown: i don't see the surgeon again til april 25, and our last day of school is may 20.

eating has been not well the past few days. all the mini easter candy bars are gone now, and um, there is probably 4 bags of unopened chips in the cupboard. too many carbs/sugar/sodium...sure feeling gross now.

so friends, hope you're doing better than i....missin ya, take care, hope to hear from the rest...love from the midwest..

kelly_a

evenin' all...therapy went good and she gave me 2 more exercises. went for about a 7 minute walk outside to get the mail. the sun was here...all day. :bigsmile: walked around my yard and some of my bulbs are coming up...lots of new ones that i planted last fall, can't wait to see them! oldest son came home to get a tie and some pants. i guess his frat is going to Wis. for meetings. youngest son and i made stir fry for supper.. shrimp, scallops, onion, pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, fresh ginger. takes forever but very yummy lily goes back to the vet tomorrow. not sure she will get stitches out or have to wait another week. she sure is being a trooper thru this. well, gonna go watch grey's..

Hi all - at a friends house.... using their laptop, playing w/their 5lb mini dauschound, playing w/their 3month granddaughter & then out to dinner w/my friends. I'm staying the night here.... which is good.... I appreciate their kindness.

My family issues not resolved - still worsening.... hubby still in a Philadelphia hospital (which is 1 hr drive from the house).

Thanks for your prayers, well wishes & words of encouragement. The text messages are most appreciated.

Weight wise I went up to 170.
However my bodyfat went down was 30.8 now 29.8.

And the jeans I couldn't zip up -- looking good on me today.

Have a good weekend. I go back to work on Weds so I'll be able to use the internet there.

Morning Pepper's sorry I have not checked in this whole week. Well my regular job is crazy they switched my manager with one from another center and he is new so knows not much. I have been crazy trying to deal with new manager doing and looking up info for him and lots of client work along with regular reports due. Tax job has slowed down so just working hours 6 days a week on top of my regular job hours of 40.

I have gained 4 pounds in the last month and I am very upset. At 196 again. :grumble: :grumble: Not thinking what Cindy needs, :sad: my needs go right out the window. Very tired and not thinking healthy me lately. I got a 10 min walk today but have to work until 6pm today. Off tomorrow so hope to at least get some of my laundry done.

Kelly hope your shoulder is getting better :flowerforyou:
Jacque I know how you feel, I am in the same puddle and need a good shower.:laugh: the warmer weather will get us going :bigsmile:
Barb lots of prayers for you and your family hope DH is home soon :flowerforyou:
Vita send me some positive not feeling it lately.

Well heres to a new start for the millionth time :drinker: Got to get under control not feeling good still sick since
February this is too long. on antibiotics again and they tend to give me pain in my stomach. but it is what it is and I will try harder. My doctor is going to yell at me have a month to loose at least 5-8 pounds have an appointment in May to get blood work done.

Well got to get some work done, cant wait to start yard work againl Goal for this week is to check in daily and do full body stretches and walk at least 10 mins a day.(that is all I can fit in until my boss learns some things to at least cover my lunch)

Check in later. :bigsmile:
