PURPLE! PURPLE!

melissa73

Haven't seen a Purple post for a while. Thought I'd start one..

My goals for this week are:

3 days of Tae bo W/F/S
2 days of treadmill T/Th
To drink all my water
To eat more veggies ( I've been eating lots of fruit)

I bought a meat slicer and a food dehydrator this weekend on my way back from Idaho.
I am going to start drying my fruit , veggies and slicing my own meat (ham, turkey ect.)
And Make lots of jerky..
That is my plan anyway.

Hope you all have a great purpley day. :flowerforyou:

Hey hey perky purple people eaters!

I"m trying to just get through the day. My body is warring with itself, and so is my mind. A little voice is yelling "preggers!" in my ear and I'm not sure if it's because it's been in a lot of posts lately or if it's my body letting me know. Whatever it is, it better stop making me :sick: so I can workout!!

Surviving is the key for the week. I'll stay away from comfort foods and hope my body stops playing tricks on me.

:flowerforyou:

My goals for the week:

Stay within my calorie goal.

Exercise for at least 60 minutes each day.

Try to get at least 6.5 hours of sleep everyday.

Alright I knew that we Purple were out there somewhere..

Tina- way to push yourself. "Sore today, Thiner tomarrow." :drinker: :drinker:

Welcome to the purple team. I googled " purple team" and saved it to my pictures then adjusted it. I don't know where Tina got hers but Love IT.

My friend didn't call me until this afternoon to workout so We are walking outside today about 4.5 miles.
Then I will come home and do Tae bo..

Go Purple.

I could not leave work today and my husband brought me dinner. I told him only grilled chicken or salad but he brought me a fried chicken sandwich from popeyes I was soooo hungry and he spend 6.00 bucks on it I ate it, after the fact I looked up Popeyes and got the nutritional information it was 630 calories OMG, I did not know, but it was good....so now my question, is it ok that I ate it? If I stay within my calories for today, it will not make me gain will it?:sad:

melissa73

As long as you stay within you calories you will be okay... If your really worried about it work out just a little longer today.. Go for a long walk, or just jump in place for awhile..

I had dinner last night and was good with the calories and then hubby brought me a candy bar and I ate it.. I didn't feel like going out after that. But this early in the day you should be good.

Don't worry.

Thank you!:flowerforyou: How much more??? ahh...:laugh: :laugh: a few more lbs. give or take quite a few!:drinker: You can check my profile for more on that subject:noway:

Plus I imagine once I get much closer to my goal I will want to drop down more than my goal weight is set now...but I shall see....On the right hand side of the ...ah what ever it's called on the profile...it's not called a ticker but the how many lbs. lost on the left side and how many lbs. to go on the right side?

Ya..that thing!:laugh: I have such fun watching the numbers go up and down...especially enjoy the right hand side drop more and more..... but I am easily entertained!

tall_t

Anyone got any fun plans this weekend?

I am going to go to my son's football game and run before it starts (he has to be there an hour early, so perfect time for me to go run...dontcha think?)

Of course it is wet and rainy here now, but I plan to go to dancersice class today and shock my body into losing some more weight....Plus tonight is pizza night (ugh, maybe I can get a salad).

Sunday is Redskins vs. Cowboys, I can't wait to watch that game!!! Hopefully I can run before it starts.

That is my weekend in a nutshell. What are you all planning to do?

fatgottago

I am going to my son's football game tonight, so I will not have time to get any exercise in today, so I will have to keep my calories right at 1,200. I messed up yesterday, but I am back on track today.

It is funny, just by me eating that sandwich from Popeye's triggered me and I wanted to eat all day......YUCK, so I am going to try and stay in control today, I ended up eating over by like 400 calories.....so 1,700 calories not good.......

I plan on getting up early Saturday and going to a football game with my friend and when I get back get some GOOD exercise in while everyone is down at the camp. I like doing my fitness tapes, but only when the men are gone, they tend to make fun of me when I am working out, that is why general I only walk or use the elliptical machine... I love Tae-bo, but he kicks my tail. I need a good work out this weekend so I can pull off 6 pounds for weigh in Tuesday!!!!!!!!

How about ya'll????:smokin:

melissa73

Thank god it is Friday. Last day of homecoming week for us. My daughter hasn't been getting home until 9:00 every night. But she sure has enjoyed herself. She gets involved in everything. So I am everywhere picking her up and dropping her off.

My middle daughter is wanting me to take her to the park to practice her serve and bump for volleyball.
I will probably Jog/walk on the treadmill too on Saturday. Hubby is off Sunday and Monday so we will probably take his Harley for a ride one of those days.
On the day we don't ride I'll get an hour in on my treadmill or do a video.

I WILL STAY WITHIN MY CALORIES THIS WEEKEND! I have a tendency not to. :grumble:

Hope you all have a great weekend.

I wish everyone a great weekend. For me the weekends are one of the hardest times. My husband is off work every other one and we seem to go out a lot.

If you set your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

Thanks Tina I need the support. I am staying away from the pizza tomorrow. Salad for me.
I am going to make it through and not gain.

HEY PURPLE FOLKS!

I just posted this to Melissa and anyone else tha happens to still be up but realized I'd like to repost it here....just had some hopeful thoughts that we could get our Purple team even MORE UNITED by perhaps chatting it up more....hoping others that aren't chatting much from the Purple team might just jump in for support for others or themselves....

"I really want to find a way to get ALL our purple members chattin away on our posts...ya know? The black team seems to jump right in and start a new thread each day.... maybe us chatty chatters could do that as well...and just keep chattin and welcoming the new purple members on that thread and perhaps it will grow by leaps and bounds.

I'd love to think we all could really support one another in the good times and the rough times as well....it's the rough times some tend not to chat and I know it's easy to pull back...but amazinly that's when we get the support in luvin armloads and can get right back to work on what we all came here for.

SO HERE'S TO THE NEW PURPLE POWER .... Yes, we've got until December but we've gotta move move move...as we all want to feel our best and continue to learn to eat healthier, try out new modes of excercise, build back up that self esteem, ....well we all can add to that list for sure...

any ideas or comments on how we can unite as the PURPLE POWER?!:noway: :drinker:
