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

BAlcott - sorry about the mix up. I am glad you have reinforcement now even though it has downgraded.

Kelly - Thank you for the great chart.!:flowerforyou:

I got to swim for 1.5 hours today. Yeah. It feels good to swim never mind that it at a leisurely pace. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Morning peppers! I've had a rotten day so far. Hopefully, it gets better from here. I managed to finish week1 of C25K over the weekend, but didn't get in any other exercise. I'm headed to the gym this afternoon to start w2 of C25K. DH is moving ahead today, too. This will be his 1st attempt at week 2! I hope he's ready. I should still be able to get in 300 minute of exercise this week as long as I stick with my schedule.

Hi everyone! Sorry to all who had crappy Mondays. Mine wasn't that great either. The mess my daughther's friends made was not pretty. Sigh.....

On the flip side I walked for easily 1.5 to 2 hours going around the neighborhood w/these Girl Scout cookies. My middle daughter and another scout wanted to do door to door sales. I annotated it as 1 hour of leisurely walking. Overall, they sold out of their stock.

This week for exercising after work will be tough with my son's basketball schedule.

Take care all.
Let's shoot for a better Tuesday and rest of the week.

Hello peppers!
Sounds like a mixed weekend for our group.Hope that today is a better day for all!
Well go the skating in on saturday. walked a little on sunday and went to Seattle and walked a TON monday!!! It felt good, ate a healthy lunch of yellow pea soup and a small side salad:) it was wonderful! then hubby took us out for dinner at a crab place! I looked up the cals when i got home, and it didnt look as bad as it felt I guess, and i was still under! Guess it really pays off to drink water all the time, it gives me the extra calories to consume in yummy food Ate some clams, mussles, crab legs, shrimp all steamed TASTED WONDERFUL! I havn't eaten seafood (My favorite) forever. Even though Im not eating meat right now! I will eat seafood LOL I love it!:flowerforyou:
Anyhow planning to go to the gym today, eat a healthy lunch get my water down!

Hi Pepper's,
Just checking in I am leaving soon have to go to doctors, feeling really sick cough is getting worse.
Kelly sorry you feel blue, but you want this and need to think of how hard you have worked. You have helped a lot of people when they are down. You need to get up and work it. You can do it.:flowerforyou:

Gotta go will let you know what happens. :sick:

Kelly -- Girlfriend, the bottom of the carb pit? NOoooooooo! You've worked soo hard to change your eating habits, exercise and be a support to all in this group. You're loved by all of us and we need you.
Ok, we will all admit we've had bad days, depressing days, what am I doing w/myself days. Look at what you've accomplished! You've brougt a bunch of ladies from across North American together forming a group for weight loss. Thank you for that.

Angie - Such great news to hear the baby is well and your baby weight is on track. We're all looking forward to pictures of your new baby. How is your son doing?

Miss V -- Congrats and look at you! I hate my measuring tape and dislike when I do the weight/measure at Curves. And when work measures me... well, let's say it's not my favorite day at work. However, if I continue to work hard being measured will be more enjoyable.

Sindy - get well soon!

Jacque - keep it up.

Alright, today I didn't go out to lunch w/friends. Instead I stopped at McDonalds for a quick drive through. My oldest was home sick and she asked me for fries. I thought OK, I'll eat the 3 pc chicken selects and give her the fries. No prob... 3 pcs is 400 calories.

Then the attack of "something" hit me. The only thing I found was frozen tollhouse cookie dough. I ate 4 pcs (which would be 4 cookies). Granted the package states do no eat uncooked product but I didn't care. Didn't care it was frozen either.

NOW I NEED TO GO TO CURVES or I get less than 200 calories for dinner. Since I was at off site, no lunch walk or end of day gym. I must go to Curves... MUST MUST MUST.

Take care all.
Barb

Sindy -- Take care of yourself. Glad to hear you managed to stay out of the hospital. Thinking of you.

To all -- here's to new starts on Thursdays!

Barb

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!

Barb

Barb....I would love for you to have been there...the party was SOOO Much fun! we couldnt stop laughing....I had 13 guests and just played the funnest games! Im now going to 3 more between now and March....as 3 girls booked from my party. I love these parties and I got some GREAT things at it. Alot of the things I got, I got free or greatest discounted bc I was the hostess....so I will be hosting again before the years up.
I live in Georgia so if you know you will beheading my way letme know and I will throw a party in your honor! woohoo

Hello my lovely ladies...I am sorry ive been MIA this week...boy have I been on the go both here at work and at home. I havent had time to stop. But finally got a chance to get on and check in. Everyone seems to be doing pretty well...I am going to go back thru and read thru more after this to give more one on one responses back...
I wanted to let you guys know that our police officer that securitys here just came in with Chickfila for breakfast and hes on a diet of some sort and he got something I am going to start incorporating into my breakfast routine. He ordered just 2 plain grilled chicken breasts and a cup of fruit and wow...that chicken is sooo good and just one breast in 100 calories but has 21 grams of protein....2 of those with some fruit and a good drink will make an awesome and healthy breakfast and Im going to start trying to get it. Ive added it to the food database.....I want to stop eating so many carbs and get more protein in to fill myself better and longer....so yummmmm if anyone has a chickfila near try...give it a shot!

Good Afternoon Pepper.'s,
Thank you everyone. I dont like hospitals so he was not getting me there anyway. Moms a nurse can get better care a home. I am working so sitting still. I think the meds are working already have not coughed that much in the last couple of hours.

Kelly worried about you, please check in with us your Pepper's are worried. :flowerforyou:

Well back to work, off tonight so I can get some rest. Check in later. :bigsmile:

Took a walk before lunch, took only 8 min today so I am gonna make the path longer. Plan to take another one before my apple between 3 and 4. Will walk to car tonight, weather looks good. Hope everyone having a good day.
