Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 2/19 wk 7

Hey all... just dropping a quick note. Thinking of ya.

It's snowing (again) and this time a snowicane is projected.... that's snow w/hurricane strength winds. A snowicane isn't a fancy name for a snow cone....... The fear is winds will bring power lines & trees down. The trees are still very heavy w/snow from previous storms. Recall one storm had folks w/o power for 5-7 days. That's the biggest fear is loss of power.

I attempted to drive into work. Got 1/2 there saw 2 accidents (1 invovling 4 cars) and a 1 mile back-up in another area. At that point, I went back home. My goal was work 1/2 day leave at 12 - since school called at 5am announcing today is a 1/2 day.

Before I got home I decided I'll drop into curves for weight. They are anticipating closing due to weather on Friday. The owner does measure me -she's on vacation so the manager measured me.

Keep in mind, I was in my work uniform when I got weighed & another person measured me.
I keep telling myself this too.

The weight was 167.6 - that's a 3lb+ increase from last week. What???? I weighed at home naked on my scale and got a lesser weight. Home scale did have an increase from last week but it was 2.25lbs not over 3lbs. Heavy sigh......

However, Curves did measure me and there is total loss of 2.75" Lost in thigh, waist, and abs. Yet I measured an inch more in bust and hips. Sigh....

I truly need to focus on the size of my waist since that is part of my fitness test in May. How much I weigh isn't an issue - it's how small is your waist.

Off to start my income taxes then laundry, vaccumm... and all other kinds of house related stuff.
Take care all -- perhaps I'll see one or two of you on Facebook today......

Hey Team!
Barb ~ plz do take care today and thru this storm, will be thinking of you ok, so the scale was not nice to you. BUT, you are down inches, and I bet your clothes are getting looser. it could be water wt too. You ARE doing all the right things....staying within calories, exercising...just keep going girl. I don't know exactly what your diet is like, but some things that help me with my gut are ~ eating little if any processed foods, ( only fresh, whole, natural ) keeping salt intake near 1000 - 1500 day, eating only whole grains, and really watching the sugar, and NO pop, not even diet. do yo think you need to increase your calories?? As far as activity, lots of aerobic activity helps my belly go down some, and the more I do, the better....like almost 45 minutes a day. I know you are frustrated, but you are also determined. Keep at it, and I am sure your waist will wittle away! let me know which wt you want me to use for the weigh in. :flowerforyou:

home today doing house chores. after a chilly start ( -8*) I think we are on an upward trend. I saw lower 30's predicted for next week!! walked 45 minutes w/Leslie yesterday. Gonna switch things up today and exercise now, instead of afternoon. Been zig zagging cals too. Well, Pepper's, hope you are having a good day. I'll try to check in later.

Kelly Thanks. So far, it's just snow..... the winds are later today. Of course Friday is trash pick-up. So the full cans are going to get blown over, trash bags strewn along the street. Then we'll be on a search for our empty cans cuz the wind took the can down the street.

Use the curves weight. I like to have one scale as the "weigh" scale. I was in uniform and those pants are heavy. Someday I should post a pic of me wearing the current uniform. My FB has me in the blue uniform.

I'm home doing my taxes... well, if I don't keep interrupting myself - phone call to my girlfriend in Germany, phone call to two other friends, fold the basket of laundry, run the vaccum cleaner, etc etc etc.

I'm sure despite being under or slightly over calories there are improvements I can make. This week I did have pizza (twice), a small buger king burger, take out chinese....

As long as my waist shrinks... that's the concern for my fitness test.

Of course the work out today and tomorrow will be shoveling snow.
