Ok I am gone for the day and you all got into the PEEPS?????

No no no!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh:

Marla64

THEY did it-- I stayed healthy-- only an egg. :devil:

3babybeans

I mixed them with veggies! What more do you want from me, woman!?

loreeb18

Isn't eating brightly colored foods good for you? That's why peeps come in all different colors!

janiebeth

Definitely a healthy eating strategy to fill your plate with a variety of colors.

pink, yellow, purple, and blue?? -- not so sure..:noway: :noway:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

did anyone see the bats and pumpkins that they had for Halloween -- yes, my friends, Peeps are not just for Easter anymore..

loreeb18

I'm for the originals. I only like peeps and only in Easter colors (especially blue and purple). The bunnies are flat and marshmallows should not be brown or red/green. It's just odd.

Just saw this on another thread. :laugh:

I have put Week 3 of C5K to bed. Its getting interesting as to if I will be able to complete future levels. I know just gotta push through it and get out of comfort zone. This chick is going to bed.


Good Night Black Team

Marla64

whoa-- okay, to California and back I must run-- went out to dinner with hubby tonight-- steak, potato, couple onion rings-- and home for some Reese's Pieces-- blech.

It was all yummy, though-- except the candy-- I rather ate that by habit.

Off to work-- busy weekend ahead-- didn't run tonight, will run tomorrow--

Gee-- I'm so boring tonight-- must be tired. :noway:

Want to know what I went and did? Look at my profile pic! I cut a bunch off, and colored it a ton. I couldn't decide what color so it has shades of burgandy in the bottom, then black on top, then super blonde highlights. I just let my girl do her thing with my hair and it was an awesome feeling! I felt like a princess and my fantastic stylist had as much fun as I had. She wouldn't let me see it and five hours later this is what I end up with. So, I'm a little nervious about a big change but it's only hair...right?

AmandaJ

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE stale peeps and to me it doesn't matter what color they are. I love them and they have been my disadvantage this week. I prefer not to say how many of them I have eaten. UGH, but YUM!!!!!

LYNNIE! I LOVE IT! You look amazing, woman! :flowerforyou:

Janie - I've seen them for Christmas & Valentine's Day, too. I snubbed them. Peeps only deserve my love on the holiday they were meant for!

Bobbi - I'm sorry you're having a hard time pushing through the C25K. *hugs* Think of it this way, though. You're doing more now than you were 3 weeks ago! You've already made great progress!

Marla - Glad you got to enjoy a nice dinner with you hubby! Send those Reeses Pieces this way! Every time I read those words, my mouth waters a little bit. :smooched:

Amanda - YAY! Another stale peep fan! :laugh: Step away from the bad candy!

CMRiverside - Hi! :flowerforyou: Are you joining us?! :glasses:

I had a kick butt day at the gym yesterday (960 cals! woo hoo!) & feel awesome, but my scale is still refusing to get back down to that number. I think as soon as I hit my goal weight a week or so ago, my body decided to go into one of it's favorite modes & bounce me 5# up/down/sideways for awhile...not to mention the muscle issue we all talked about earlier this week ARGH! I hate when it does that. :grumble: I'm very near just calling it a day with the scale. We'll see.

Have a lovely weekend, team! Where's Sam been?

I love the new hair...you look great!

Lynnie!!! Pretty!!!!!!!!

lynniejones

Thank you guys! It was scary but I am thinking hey, it's a new deal, a new you--go for it! I start my new store on Monday so I needed a confidence booster!

janiebeth

Lynnie - YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!! I really love the look..

Bobbi - hang in there - you are my hero for getting to Week 3..

I agree with most - I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to Peeps.. yellow and pink are really the ones that hold my heart.. besides, I have enough trouble avoiding them at Easter, I don't really need the extra temptation during any other time of the year.

I had another eureka moment last night. I wore my HRM while swimming.. 54 minutes in the pool swimming freestyle gave me 357 calories (minus the 100 I would expend sitting around = 257). The MFP site has been giving me something like 800 calories for 1 hour (which I did think was high - that's why I decided to measure).

Sooo,, I've been giving myself far too much credit for swimming. No wonder I haven't been losing.

So, a reset - now at 1 lb a week to lose and wearing a HRM for all exercise..

Wish me luck for next weigh in..

janie, I so feel your pain. The reality is we are more fit now so it takes a LOT to get that HR up there and burn more calories! I wogged on the treadmill for 45 min yesterday and burned 158 cals! ARGH!! Of course I also know it is due to my healthier heart muscle not having to blow up to get my up 10 stairs, so that is a good consolation.

I have added different exercises (still no weight loss but a change in my butt shape:laugh: )

AmandaJ

Lynnie, you were posting when I was posting up above and didn't see your new pic! WOW, YOU LOOK AMAZING! :flowerforyou:

I had the same eureka moment last night when I wore my HRM for the first time. 476 cals for 49 min of cycling/spinning. I'm about to find out what I actually get for my kickboxing class...MFP gives me over 700 and I'm thinking that's also way off, but it will be nice to know for sure.

I wonder shuntae if i would change anything........really you have lost an entire person.......i wouldnt change a thing:laugh: :laugh:

I have been eating too little and not losing. hopefully i can change that!

3babybeans

Shuntae! My spinning class: 425 cals for 45 minutes. My kickboxing class: 825 cals for 60 min. It is possible!

Okay...off to the zoo.

The only thing I did change was to set my goal at losing 1/2 pound per week rather than 1 pound. If nothing else, that will help me starting working on maintenance. I need to get used to eating more than the 1300 that I had been.

It's so strange that now I sometimes have to figure out how to get more calories in, when before I didn't know when to stop. I wish I would have tracked at my "before" point because I'm curious to know just how much food I was shoveling in!

We shall see, it will definitely be interesting because my instructor is a hard-*kitten*! That's probably why I enjoy going on Saturdays, so I have a little extra cushion to be able to enjoy our date nights. :bigsmile: We're going out for BF's birthday tonight, so I will definitely need it. Plus, he asked me to make him peanut butter brownies and I will have to test them out so we can make sure they are safe for human consumption.

Have fun at the zoo!

You kiddin'? You look like a star-- Shania Twain or sumpin-- totally fabulous!!!!!

Marla64

I don't know-- I was reading Tami's success tales. She never had a heart rate monitor, and she lost 135 pounds with very few plateaus--

I bought a piddly "heart rate monitor' on eBay-- puh-- doesn't work. I could return it, but it keeps track of my exercise time, so I'll wear it. It's one of the cheapo watch kinds--

I think, though, I'm adding too many exercise calories back, too-- I'm thinking I need to go back to square one, with the 1,200 base and totally regroup. I was thinking along those lines last night before I read this--

Heading out to run-- have a great day, ladies.

Marla64

Okay...off to the zoo.

Hey-- I didn't know you were coming over. Thanks for the heads up-- KIDS...COMPANY!!!!!! CLEAN!!!!!!!
