    WTG Pepper's :drinker: Everyone is doing great, even if you gain or did not loose you are still trying. It is hard to stick to everyday, but we all can do this.

    I am so excited to be out of the 200's because I know that number will never come back on my scale :bigsmile:

    I dont look at this as a diet, I feel it is a life change and I want to be healthy for me. I am starting to feel more like I have more energy everyday. So on to this weeks challanges. 3 veggies a day this one is going to be tough but I am up for it. I am stay with the fruit, water and exercise challenges too.


    Thank you everyone for all the great support. I enjoy being a SHGP and glad we are in this together.

    Have a great afternoon, check back in later have to get back to work :drinker: :heart:

    Today’s weight
    163.6
    I was hoping for more…but…. As it’s been said, a loss is a loss.

    Exercise
    20 minutes walk
    15 minutes run
    30 minutes curves

    Hopefully our families will see our new changes and incorporate changes in their life.

    What I’ve learned this week – it’s OK to ask and/or accept help from others. My ego, pride and need to be self reliant caused me undue stress.

    My other big “a-ha” moment this week – has been accept successes. I’m been critical in my thinking “it’s not good enough.”

    Hey all!! Its Saturday night and not to bad of a day. I was in class all day, but i went prpared and took a cutie and apple to eat during the breaks, had a pretty good lunch. Was so happy to get out early enought to make to the Y before they closed. Got a 53 min work out in before they closed. Doing good on the water and vegatables. found coleslaw made out of carrots and brocholi , it really dressed up my salad for dinner tonight. I know its drastic but I kept telling myself all day if I do nothing else I must exercise.
    Kelly-love the chart, next week is gonna be better.
    OMG I think its Crystal I got to thank but if its someone else Please be forever thankful about the skinnycow talk I bought yesterdy, they are sooooo good!!
    talk to ya all later

    Happy Sunday Pepper's! :smile:

    been busy since Fri afternoon....we started out winning our Homecoming game, but ended up with a loss, 17- 20. my ds was so upset, i felt bad for him. they at least scored on one of his long catches. and...my oldest ds's g/f won homecoming queen!! it was so exciting!! will get a pic of that on here soon. yesterday i started cleanin my bedroom closet out...UGH :ohwell: few bags of clothes goin to goodwill. this is kinda weird, but i do have some fav 'fat' clothes that i am donating. dh and i went to the local steakhouse here...and i really did indulge :tongue: nothing was clean, but i figure that is 2 meals in 2-3 weeks, pretty darn good. i just gotta keep doin this...it is working. and i know once i get to exercising more, i am gonna reshape my body, that's when ppl really notice for me. anyway, i had 6 fried shrimp w/sauce, baked potato w/butter and sour cream, a small salad with black olives, onions, cheddar cheese, croutons, ranch dressing, cottage cheese, a pasta salad and a diet pepsi. i was a lil concerned at how my body would react to all of this, but i was only a little uncomfortable for a couple of hours, and of course pushed the water when i got home. back to clean this am, and ready to make it a great week......

    barb ~ good luck with the van today, hope it all works out. seems like lately we are having problems with our vehicles, tires/brakes for the truck, tires for 3 cars and one also needs a tie rod and another rack and pinion. :angry: i don't complain much tho, as i am lucky that i drive the bus most of the time, and the school pays for it's fuel and repairs.

    jacque ~ i too have room for improvement.....gonna try a little harder this week with the exercise, and hopefully that will boost my motivation some. you did very well Sat. YIIPPY for you! :flowerforyou:

    ok Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's ! just a reminder of all the GOOD, healthy challenges we are doin here ~
    our current challenge is 3 sevings of veggies each day

    you can continue if you wish ~
    8 glasses of water each day

    Ok group -- today's update --

    Exericse
    13 min run
    30 minute walk

    At 7:30am this morning I did my employer fitness test. Here's the breakout --

    Waist measurement - 36 inches. Must have 29.5" for maximum points. Needless to say I ddin't get much points.

    Push-ups/1 minute timed test -- 32 -- must do 30 for maximum points. Anything over does not give you more points. I stopped after 32 w/approx 15 seconds to go. I could have kept going but wanted to save energy for run. Push-ups - no sweat - easy as pie for me.

    Sit-ups/1 minute timed test -- 43 -- must do 40 for maximum points. Anything over does not give you more points. I stopped w/approx 5 seconds to go - wanted to save energy for the run. Sit-ups - no sweat - easy as pie for me.

    1.5mile run -- 13min/15 sec -- that's a 8.76 minute mile.
    WHOA.... after my run, I nearly puked up my pre run protein shake. I knew I had to run SUPER fast to pass. For maximum points in the run, I would have to run 11min/49 sec -- that's a 7.66 minute mile.
    My normal 2 mile runs 3days/week I think I'm doing a 9 minute mile.

    Passed by 2 points -- so I barely passed.
    From the previous test in Feb, I dropped 2.5 minutes off run and 1 inch off waist. No change in push-ups or sit-ups. In Feb I had failed w/10 points under passing score.

    New standards in Jan -- must have 35.5 inch waist or smaller to pass. If larger, automatic failure of the entire test.

    Thus, I not really excited over my passing score because I need to be smaller for new standards.
    I'm glad I passed but realized I won't pass in Jan unless I can get my waist smaller.

    However, let's face it -- I PASSED THE DAMN THING. And didn't eat any homemade cookies brought into the office.

    Hello my friends ... I just got back from a weekend away. Hubby and I went to our daughter's surprise 25th birthday party. Way too much food, way too much wine, not nearly enough exercise ... way way too much fun :laugh: Well I'm back now ... back to my normal routine.

    I have been doing a terrible job with eating my vegetables, but doing good on water and fruit. I haven't exercised at all this weekend. I did make it to the farmers market and spent lots of money on fruits and vegetables. Now I have no excuse not to eat my veggies. I have not been to the farmers market in so long I forgot how cheap and great looking the produce is. I hope everyone is having a great weekend! :happy:

    Thanks all.

    Angie I didn't do well w/veggies either this week. No excuse -- didn't go to the grocery store... just used what I had in the house.

    Now, hubby's away this week & the kids are w/my ex. I'm out of the foods I eat .... so I must go to the grocery store Monday after work.

    Yes, I have a quiet week w/o anyone else in the house. If there wasn't two dogs......

    Miss V - yup, I would have done the same thing -- walked over the entire field and grabbed the "best" one. The lugged the thing back to the car.
