    Morning Peppers!!! Sorry I've been MIA. I have an upper respiratory infection. I haven't been able to exercise obviously. I was barely able to breath until yesterday. I have no idea when I can go back to exercising. I have to get my chest cleared up before I can think about it. On the plus side of being sick, I have gotten an awesome ab workout thanks to all the coughing. Plus I lost over 4 lbs this week since I wasn't eating much. I weighed in at 215.0 this morning. Truthfully, I don't expect that to stay gone. I imagine a large part of that is just water. I'd be happy if it stays away, but I'm not going to beat myself up next week if I have a small gain.

    Hope everyone has been good. I'll try to catch up on last week's thread a little later today. I know I probably missed a bunch.

    My weight today is 213.6 pounds. Yeah it is only a .2 pound gained from last week!:happy: I realized I forgot to set goals for last week. Hopefully with goals set for this week I will do better.

    Goal for this week are:
    **Try very hard to stay with in sodium limit.
    **To stay with in my calorie goals.
    **Eat 5 veggies and 3 fruit every day.
    ** Limit chocolate to 1 serving per day.
    ** Exercise 2 times a day for 5 days plus one day on the weekend.

    I have ate 3 fruits this morning. I had grapes, cantaloupe, honey dew, and pineapple. Also, I ate 1.5 serving of veggies: half of red, orange, and yellow pepper. I hope everyone has a great day! I'll check in later.:smile:

    I ate all of my fruit and veggies for the day. If I don't eat any thing extra then what I have planned, I will have stayed with in my calories and only had 1 serving a chocolate. I did exercise 2 times today but went over in sodium. I guess meeting 4/5 goals is better then not meeting any. Have a great day!:smile:

    Hey all running by to say that I stayed the same this week:( its ok though it happens. Was busting my butt at the gym today for way over an hour! It was cardio day so i feel good
    Little upset that I went WAY over my cholerterol (Sorry spelling) tow day with only 2 eggs:( but whatever, when i was tested a week or so ago they said I am good in that department. and usually i eat egg whites, but the yokes fell in and I was too lazy to chase them around! Well I will write more as I am on the run still!

    Happy Sunday everyone. I am feeling a lil better, but still have this sadness clouding me. I am gonna try real hard today to eat waaayy better and I know that will help with some of my tiredness and sluggish feelings. We didn't really celebrate dh bday yesterday since we were both gone, but I am making a pan of brownies for him today. He likes to cook, and he has planned shrimp for lunch and then chicken for supper. Will make sure mine is baked, steamed or grilled.

    I want to thank you all for your concern and support while I am struggling thru this funk. You all mean so much to me and I am forever blessed that you are here for me. :heart:

    Megan ~ so glad to hear you are in a boot cast now....some relief for ya there. Time is movin right along...soon you'll be rid of it for good! hang in there!

    Miss V ~ I gotta say, you are looking really good in your recent pics! You should be so very proud of your accomplishments! Dh and I went to San Diego for our honeymoon, well, we stayed in Chula Vista. Was very pretty in early March. Someday, we hope to get back there. He was in the recruit camp there for the Marines. I have a hard time with cholesterol intake too, but most of it is from healthy proteins, so I don't worry. I think taking a fish-oil capsule and Flaxseed everyday helps a lot!

    Cindy ~ I sure hope you're feeling better. Chest colds are icky. Take it easy and rest when you can! The exercise can wait.

    Angie ~ I am so glad that all is going well for you and your baby. And, I am so very *proud* of you for keeping your pregnancy gain to a minimum. That is wonderful...and you are really working hard at it and doing so well. Don't change a thing! :bigsmile:

    Barb ~ mmmm, cookie dough...I know, don't eat it raw...but I do too. :tongue: Congrats on your son's bb winnings! That must be so exciting! Wishing them a season of success!

    Christy ~ yes, the sunless days do affect me. I think it has been a couple weeks now since the big ol fire ball has shined here. I don't know if those 'light' boxes are affective or not, but as dreary as it has been here, I have even kept the blinds closed on all of my windows, thus making it even darker :frown: Not much help for myself, I know. I just need to try harder to beat this.

    Jennifer ~ sounds like your party was a great time! the Chick-Fil-A chicky's sound YUMMY! :tongue: good source of protein!

    Jacque ~ A good dose of you goes a long ways! I :heart: YOU!

    Crystal ~ sorry to hear of your illness. take it easy and get well soon. :flowerforyou:

    To ** ALL ** of the SHGP's ~ congratulations again on your wt loss for the week! You keep me hangin' on! Here's to a great week for us all!

    today's goals
    ~ eat clean, AND log food
    ~ 8+ water
    ~ 30 minute walk
    ~ 10 lb free wts, 15 - 20 minutes
    ~ SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP, 8 hrs!

    Hey everyone!! I'm finally back at work today. I ate horribly over the weekend. Boredom, plain and simple. I was so ready to be out of my house!!! Of course, still no exercise. I think I'm going to try doing BL Yoga when I get home to see how I do. If I can handle that, I may try to hit the gym tomorrow after work. I'm not sure that I'm going to back to C25K just yet, but I can do the elliptical or something like that. I just need to be active.

    Kelly, glad you are feeling better. Hopefully everyday will bring you a little more sunshine than the last. :flowerforyou: You are so wonderful to all of us!

    Good Morning Everyone!

    Well, I am off to a good start....just need to keep busy and focus on today! Snow here again, but hopefully no school delays, etc. Had a little bit of January thaw going on last week and over the weekend......and the sun is going to shine in a day or two!! I am looking forward to that!

    Well, I didn't get my exercise in yesterday, but I did get other things done, that have been neglected. So, I am taking that as a plus for me. I am not sure what to do about my calorie settings. I want to keep my daily intake at about 1600, as my average, and that will increase with exercise.... and MFP has me at about 1300. So, when I log, it is always going to say I am over. I really want to stick to this level and see how things progress or not, for me. I got my water in and all my fruits, grains and protein, but no veggies, that seems to be the hardest thing to change for me with my diet.

    A much slower week for me with the bus....which I am kinda happy about. No evening trips, and I have this Saturday off. Just a day trip Wednesday. So, a normal week, with my route and shuttles. :happy: I really want to step it up in the activity area, so gonna make that a priority. NO excuses!

    Well, here's to a great week gang! Be mindful of your daily goals and make each day count! I know you can do it!! :flowerforyou:

    HI Pepper's,
    I have been really sick with Pneumonia, feeling some what better today. Have not gained any weight and doing good with calories. I just am trying to get over being sick so I can start exercising again, starting to get stiff.

    Hope everyone is doing well I have not been able to check posts for a few days. Had to go to college to help son sign up then busy when I got to work.

    Well gotta get something done today. Will check back later. :bigsmile:
