    Good Afternoon Pepper's
    I have to say this was a great week end. I did a 3 mile walk on sat. with my mother in law for 60 min exercise, ate my fruits and veggies. and sat in the yard for me time(but I was thinking this needs to be cleaned:laugh: ) Then went and got my hair done with a friend, which she gave me for my bday. I got a new hair style and love it. Sunday, I raked the whole yard it took 90 min and I burned a lot of calories, ate my veggies and fruits.
    Today I did my 36 min walk and eating my fruits and veggies now. I am feeling so much better.

    Have a great day, work is really busy will have to check back later :bigsmile:

    Hey everyone,

    Sorry I wasn't on here yesterday. It was an awful day. I somehow managed to keep my food under control, but I missed gong to the gym. I was supposed to go right after work, but I found out about 1/2 an hour before I left that my husband got fired. He got fired for text messaging. :angry: How stupid is that!! :explode: Stupid on his part for doing it and stupid on their part for firing a good worker for something so trivial. He managed to have another job lined up last night and he starts his new job today. :happy: After that, I really couldn't be mad anymore. I hated the job he was at before and I've been trying for years to get him to find a new one. I guess he just needed a push, and not just a little one.

    Today's a new day. :flowerforyou: I have my gym bag in the car. I will go to the gym this afternoon. I need to be there for an hour. I'm going to have to push myself the next few days to get some time in. It was one thing after another this weekend and I never managed to get any exercise in. I'm still hoping to get in 3 hours before Friday morning.

    Hi Peppers
    Back now from my long weekend trip to St. Louis. Took the train from Kansas City to St. Louis with my bf. Had a really great time, the weather was bad the first day (rainy, cold) but Saturday turned out to be beautiful. BF if a big Cardinals fan, so the game was really disappointing. Took the tour of the Budweiser Brewery (I've been to St. Louis many times but had never done that) that was fun. This is the first "vacation" I've taken from my diet since I started on June 8th. didn't do too bad. Seem to be up about a pound, but will focus on water and healthy food for the next few days and I bet that will drop.

    Kelly - you can put me in as steady on my weight for last Friday and 195 minutes of exercise for last week. I'll be back on track with reporting this week.

    Ok so yesterday i started so strong, and was proud of meyself. But was bone tired after work, I knew I was going to be also. So I put my gym bag in the car so I did not have to go home, becuase I knew I would not leave the house once I enter it. So since 4pm I started calling my son to make sure he got home ok. Well he never answer the house or cell phone, so I had to go home and sure enough he was in bed not feeling well, so I did not make it to the gym.
    This is going to be a hard week for me. When the cuppards get bare I start comfort cooking so I eat the cheep bad stuff. And I am so behind on workout hours. So gym bag in car and def got to go tonight and get back on track before I can all the weight back

    Okay...so lots of you did so much better than I have. BIG month here for me bc last weekend was baby shower for HS friend, then this weekend it was a big college football weekend so I drank and ate alot there and has my same friends daughters 5th bday party, yesterday was my girl's 5th bday and we let her pick out what food she wanted, this week I will have to get in good eating and workouts b/c this weekend and next weekend are yet 2 other baby showers, this sunday coming up is my 5 yr olds bday party, and then there our halloween party and then trick or treating! its not that there arent ways to get around these but it has been very hard to not over indulge. Hoping for a few chances to really hit the gym. i might be able tomorrow but today and thursday are tball practices so to the ball fields we go!!!
    well, I got in some yummy fruits and veggies though this weekend and thats real good. Still didnt feel the greatest to go and do the gym this weekend as this sinus infection is still making it hard to breathe and as I recall....working out invoves lots of breathing! lol:bigsmile: :laugh:

    ***heres to keeping the motivation up and hoping for some real changes soon! :drinker: ***
    lots of :heart: :heart: my SHGP's!!!!!

    Good evening SHGP! I have been doing good with vegetables and water this week but need to improve on fruit. I am going to try to get to the farmers market by my house tomorrow to pick up more fresh fruit & veggies. I need some more healthy food in my house. All I want to eat is ice cream and easy food that I don't have to make. I try to limit my self to 1 low fat ice cream sandwich a day but some days that doesn't work. I hope everyone is having a good evening. :happy:

    Good morning Pepper's,
    I think we all need to remember there will always be a hump to get over, but we are all trying to get over them and even if it takes 8 or 9 times (like me and me veggies:laugh: ) we will keep trying. So dont get down the day is new and it is never to late to start again. :drinker:

    This has been a very tough week with getting all my veggies in but I have gotten at least 2 a day. I am doing great on water, fruits and exercise. It stopped raining yesterday and I was able to get my 36 min walk in.

    Have to get back to work, Have a great day I will check back in later. :bigsmile:

    :flowerforyou: Hey all, I have been MIA for most of this week so far. I have been taking me time to sit and read, and reducing the tv time, and the kids being annoying time:laugh: Made a load of home made applesauce (well atleast aht is what i call it, boiled apples blended with cinnamon and cloves) :bigsmile: I love it!
    I hav NOT been getting H2o down at all really I dont know why but I will kick my butt in gear better, need to get moving this week and get a load of exercise in. Just a lot of stressors preventing me, but it is not making me happy not going to work out at all:grumble: So I will get my butt in gear!
    doing good on fruit and veggies:) :drinker: Hope everyone has a wonderful wednesday and I wil get my head out of my butt and start getting to it:)

    hi all ~
    well, back from bus trip. i worked on my seating assignments for almost 2 hours!! i am up to 61 kids now on a 65 passenger bus, actually seats 43 comfortable. 3 kiddos in some seats. never had this many, and a long route, 1 hr and 10 min.

    glad to see everyone checking in and reporting how things are going. sounds like many of us are having a tough week. i have really been slacking on the exercise and me time..... fruits, veggies and water ok. i find i do better with some issues ( past bad habits ) over others. like ok, it is Halloween time....the old me would be eatin the trial size bars like they were bite size ones and by this time have had to replace 3-4 bags. well, i am proud to say i have only had one trial size bar and only 2 bags thus far. folks dont forget all the little changes you are making day to day, week to week, or month to month. this all go towards efforts of our changing lifestyle. and what i think is great is that we are still here in this, whether we have a good day or bad day, or good week or bad week. it shows you are being somewhat mindful of your health and takin it seriously to the next level. don't ever give up on you, and remember it is usually only you that controls what the outcome of every day is. i believe in all of you and know we can succeed here.

    keep on keepin and make it count! :flowerforyou:
