Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 1/15 wk 3

Dream skinny thoughts :laugh:

ok well I weight in at 245.4 this morning, a 1 pound gain :huh:

so i weighed in this morning and im happy to report I am back to what i was pre-holidays....
before the holidays came i was just at 126 and after new years i weighed myself and would teeter between 129 and 130....well im happy to report weighing in this mornig, im showing im at 126.5!!! woohoo.....have cut out sodas completely.....slacked on the wine....(i was going thru a bottle every few days
and have watched portions on what I eat. Im thrilled....I just need to get a few more off and REALLY tone and tighten what I have.
I am happy to see this loss and it has given me great motivation to keep going.
I ran on teh treadmill at my moms last night...i did a mile and a half at a staggered pace going anywhere from 4.8 to 5.8 or even 6.0 once.
Did it for 20 minutes and burned almost 200 cals.
Happy and ready for the weekend....having a big girls night out saturday at my house...one of those "toy/lingerie" parties...cant wait!

happy weekend PEPPERS!

TGIF! Here's to a good day to you all Ladies!

Well, down .6 to 184 today. Not big, but I'll take it. Many factors possible.....TOM ( which is really kickin my butt today ), not enough sleep and very possible too few calories. I tallied my weeks calories and was short 1917, and then my calories burned was 2090, not a huge deficit, but I was hungry for at least a couple days...So I visited my 'goals' page and did the BMR again, along with 2 other sites, and I need to be getting in at lealst 1550...and I had 5 days when I was under that by at least 100 or more...So, I think I will bump up my nut servings since I have only been doing 1/2 servings.....need more protein in there too. I increased my exercise to 262 minutes, still not to my goal of 300, but I'm working on it. I know if I get more time in on the weekends, I'll get there. Do any of you have sleep issues during TOM?

Congrats Crystal!! a loss is a loss! Keep with your plan...it's working!
Jacque ~ 1 lb could be lots of things. I'm sure you'll have a loss next week! I know you can do this girl!

Ok, why is there so much sodium in a frozen-skinless-chicken breast?? Is this something they are pumping the meat with...for preservatives?? I bought 2 diff brands yesterday and was astounded by this! might have to give up my chicky!! or go organic or find some local farmers......

Today~ move it!

Food~
clean all the way!

Miss V ~ I did 2 days of free wts, 20 minutes, but I'll do 10 more for you today!! :flowerforyou:
food ~ only had 1 salad this week....but I am cookin my beans now...so will be having less meat next week! :bigsmile:

You are doing GREAT kell...and take any loss is RIGHT!
I too have trouble during my TOM I cant sleep, Im in so much pain and I get HUGE too. It sucks...so you r not alone kelly.
And I can almost bet that being under that much that often of your calories has alot to do with not losing more and for feeling blah. Your body needs energy to fight...whether its to fight off sickness or kick any extra weight off.
You can do this; I know you can. You are great and work so hard and you definately have it in you! :flowerforyou:

kitn621 - I want to go to your party! Problem is I don't know where you're from! And if I did, it could be too far away! I have a great time at the toy/lingerie parties. Two of my girlfriends used to sell for different companies. Both have stopped so I have no sales rep now. I guess I could always order merchandise from a website instead of thinking I can walk into one of 'those" stores. Heck, I would walk in if I found a store that wasn't um, how can I say this - sleazy..... Or maybe just all the stores I know have LIVE NUDE girls signs on them. Why advertise that the girls are live. Do you really think people are coming in to see dead nude girls? Sorry for the digression - I hope I made someone laugh.

Ok, today I did the Curves scale which I consider the "official" scale. It said 166.4
At home naked on my scale stated 165. I will say I did wear clothes when I was weighed at Curves.

Now, I know I was measured in Nov at Curves but it seems I didn't post the measurements into this website. The last measurement I have here is from Oct.
Since Oct 2009, I have increased my measurements from .25 to 1 inch. And pounds. Yikes!

I'm taking today's measurement as a 2010 BASELINE.

I learned my fitness test for work is in May. My plan is beginning Feb begin to train for the test. Right now my mindset is get used to logging food again.

Angie - I fall victim to chocolate as well. I'm trying to control it with one serviing or 1/2 serving of Nutella. (chocolate/hazelnut cream)

To all with losses - congrats! Yipee
For those with gains, let's not beat ourselves up. Dust the crumbs off and we'll try again.
Have a good weekend ya!

Hey all!
Having a crazy day so far, the girls had physicals this morning and just got done, droped off one at school, ran home to eat lunch and drop the other off to school, on my way out to go to the gym for and hour to do some arms and cardio! WOOT
wasn't feeling good lastnight and it sorta carried over to this morning. Didn't grab anything to eat this morning either so hungry been eating healthy and keeping under the cals this week, didnt exercise as much as i wanted to ! But i guess that I never really do. down to 209 this morning I think that is down one pound, I really expected more, but whatever Im not gonna be mad about it because i know that I didnt exercise like i should have and even though all i eat is veggies now I didnt choose the Healthiest snacks:(
Great job to all of the loosers! Keep it up
The ones who didnt no worries you will be the big loosers next week:)
DRINK you water girls! and experiance new exercise! Keep your body guessing!:flowerforyou:

Kelly, let's go w/the Curves numbers. Yeah that means I did really good! Ok, I won't let my excitement be that obvious!

Today I had a 527 calories burned workout at Curves. Yipee!! I haven't seen 500+ in 6 weeks or so. On Wednesday I was under 400. Boy was I bummed!

Whitney - regarding Christmas candy. Chocolate is chocolate - doesn't matter what season. Although I do prefer to purchase when 50-75% off after the holiday. Right now it's those Canbury cream eggs that are calling for me. ... Keep them away... away... far far away from me. It's usually after Easter when I fall to the temptation. It's 50% off ....

Miss V - hope you're feeling better soon!

Happy weekend to all!

Crawled into the gym for an hour and a half and feeling :smooched: AMAZING! thanks for all the well wishes! I think the gym was all I needed!:drinker:

Hey Peppers,

Sorry to be so long on checking in - it has been a crazy week at work - going in at 7am and getting home after 9pm. Too tired to even logon.

Barb - thanks for the laugh...I needed one!

Weight as of this morn is 237 down 1.5 for the week...I am quite happy especially with my crazy week.

Goals for this week:
Log my food
Drink water
Exercise at least 120 minutes (just beginning)

Best of luck to everyone.

Miss V - hubby's flight cancelled. He's hoping to be on a flight back tommorrow. sigh......
Glad to hear you were able to take some time for you.

Kelly, I certainly understand that I eat b/c of why?????? That I'm not sure why I'm eating but I'm eating thing. Yup, I've done it too.
Yesterday I wanted to eat for emotional reasons (angry, disappointed, stressed, etc) and I kept thinking no, that's too many calories, no not that .... too many calories again, no, dont want that.... bottom line I didn't. So there's a success.

All I can say the only living thing in my household not annonying me at the moment is the fish... well, at least my two small fish bowls. (One bowl w/a male betta. Other bowl w/female betta & 2 other fish). Hubby's tank... well that another story.

Curves closed today & it's raining. So I really need to watch calories today.

Take care all. Hopefully your Sunday is not hectic.
Barb

BAlcott - I hope you survived the party & sleep over. Hopefully your hubby will make it back in time to help with the clean up.

I am excited my brother had his baby yesterday. I can't wait to meet my new nephew Jules Declan Lee. I am actually planning to get to the gym today to swim. I even got to go to the gym yesterday but was unable to swim due to swim meet. I normally only go to the gym when Ody my son is in school. I am looking forward to my swim today. I hope everyone is having a great Sunday!
