    Good Morning Pepper's.
    Sorry did not log in yesterday, was off both jobs and ran around all day with appointments. 197 was my weight today looks like I lost that pound again that I gained last week :laugh:

    I did my shred and the soreness is going away Kelly. I will continue through this week with Tuesday's, Thursday's and Saturday. If I am still not sore Saturday I may do it Sunday too. I am off in the Morning on Monday for Holiday, but am going in early to second job. (making the money while the job is here)

    Have to do some work this morning since I was off yesterday, will check back in with everyone later when I read yesterday's Posts :bigsmile:

    I don't know what's wrong with me this week. I just have no motivation to eat right or exercise. I'd like to blame it on the snow, but it is just an excuse. I'm up this week to 219.4, that's a 5.4 lbs gain. I'm disgusted with myself. I have good intentions to do better starting today, but it still isn't with the enthusiasm I'm used to. Hopefully it will come back quickly.

    Hope everyone is doing better than I am.

    Crystal - let's blame it on the snow. I had an off week as well. Didn't eat as well as I should and didn't exercise. Well, the only exercise I did was shovel snow. As I posted on facebook, I certainly could use a pool/snow boy. OK, OK so I don't have a pool....I have snow!

    Today, I weighed on home scale. I'm going w/166.5 If I get into curves tommorrow, I'll weigh myself there and report adjusted weight.

    Take care.

    Crystalt and Baicott- it's okay everyone has a bad day or a bad week look at me for instance I've had bad days I even had a bad 13 months look At oprah she has a bad year every other year lol don't let it frustrate you just get back in the saddle and work harder. Everybody splurges it's human nature and the snow as pretty as it can be at the beginning after large amounts it can be depressing don't let this dicourage you just get out there and keep up the hard work it's merely a speed bump on the road to a healthy lifestyle and your ultimate goal.

    hi gang ~ up about 7lbs or so today, no surprises there. wow, my year is really off to a bad start. good week, 2 bad, good week, 1 bad. no consistency or balance. my mood swings have been extreme and I am blaming it on hormones, completely. i don't know if i am peri-menopause, pmdd or what. yes, I do have depression, but in all my years with 'that' i have never had this high and low going on. like this am, (sorry Mike), i have been almost hyper, singin and a talkin around here, just my dogs here...yes, in a much better mood. a huge U-turn from the last 4 days, and as well, the last day of my cycle. do any of you gals experience this? i am just so overwhelmed by all the emotions from this week, and I really dread, seriously HATE my monthly. i just feel like it shuts me down, and there is nothing i can do for the life of me to get from under it's hold. i do not function at all during this. ok, no more on that...sorry bout that..

    Mike ~ congrats on the loss! you are doing a great job, keep it up! I truly appreciate your words of encouragement as well. I look back to all my 'dieting' years and just hope that now, with each passing year I get more weeks, and ultimately more months in the year that are better ones than worse ones. We just gotta keep at it, and never give up!

    Cindy ~ yay, down a lb! good to hear about your shredding process! i bet you feel better already!

    Crystal ~ I don't know why this happens to us, but I do know it passes and things will get better. Keep on keepin on! You're here and that means you're still in it!

    Christie ~ -3 lbs!! woot woot! way to go girl! hope you feel better soon!

    Erica ~ I am just so happy for you! 90 lbs, almost 100! No longer obese! and...the 100's are just around the corner! you're gonna pass me by!! you go girl! many smiles for you today!!

    will check in later...have a great Friday team!

    I am up this week.:grumble: I am not sure why so much. :huh: The only thing I can I think of is that I have not exercised 2 times a day during the week l like I normally do. Oh well:ohwell: ! I am at 215.2 pounds today.:frown: I go back to the doctor in a week so I am going to have to try really hard not to gain any weight this week (hopefully by eating better). I all I want to eat is sweets.::frown: Have a great day!:smile:

    Good afternoon Pepper's,
    I think it is in the air. The sweets are killing me today. :grumble: All I want to do is eat today. Well not going to do it, standing my ground, stay away from the candy dish :laugh:

    Well gotta get back to work, Have a great day Pepper's:drinker: :bigsmile:

    Sindy - step away from the candy dish. Ask another to remove the candy dish!

    My sweet dear hubby is sick. He told me he wants to go shopping for my valentine's day gift. Told me he needs a card & a box of chocolate. Sigh.... the sentiment is sweet.... yet not the chocolate. Please not the chocolate!

    Take care

    Hi Smokin' Hot Pepper's! :heart:

    Well, my activity driving is done for a good month now. We have 2 that made it to state, so our team, coaches, parents and fans will travel to Des Moines in 4 days for that. I have gone a few times, and it is a ton of fun, but quite costly too. Track will pry start in April, and as usual, I do the HS boys. So, gonna try hard and get into a better groove here. Gotta stay positive and keep myself motivated and push myself to work towards some mini goals I have set for the next 3 mos. What I really want to improve on is getting more consistent with my exercise. It's just gotta happen. I need to to this for my health. Mental and physical. While I was waiting for the meet to start today, I worked on a schedule for the next 3 mos. I am going to put this chart/monthly schedule on my frig and Just Do It! Hopefully, this visual aide will keep me accountable and on track. Something new I am trying, we'll see.

    Hope you are all being careful with the Valentine's candy......and if you have some, just watch portion size. Nothing wrong with having a taste!:tongue: I did get some chocolate's for all my guys here, but much less than past yrs. Giving dh a dvd and we are going to grill steaks and shrimp tomorrow for lunch.

    I am a huge ** Olympic ** fan, so that has helped to boost my spirits here a little. Hoping for a good week for me, and for all of you as well! Have a nice nite gang and a Happy V day too! :heart:

    I am going to get 2 swims in today!:bigsmile: It feels so good to swim I wish I could swim more frequently. It is the only exercise that I can do without getting too hot. I hope everyone had a get Valentine's Day! I have my ob appointment on Thursday. I have to have a glucose screening when I go. I am a little nervous about it. Also, on Thursday we get to pick up Ody's new mouth guard. I hope it works well and he can't figure out how to pop it off. I love my son very much but get very annoyed at the teeth grinding. Getting ready to leave for my 2nd swim. Check back later. Hope everyone has a great day!:smile:

    Good Afternoon Pepper's,
    Well good so far staying with in calories. My aunt is visiting this week so I dont expect to loose anything, but we shall see on Friday. Tomorrow I am doing the 30 shred at 5AM, it is really hard so early but that is when I can fit it in. I work my regular job M-F and starting on sunday I will be doing the second job 7 days, along with regular. Hope I can keep up the exercise through, I dont want to stop and get as sore as I was the first time.

    Well back to work, have a great day :bigsmile:

    Hey everyone. I did better today than last week. Wanted to go to Curves but son's basketball game was a priority. His team is now 10-1.

    I wasn't able to do lunch walk - it was snowing - but I was able to do a 1.5 run. Did do 25 push-ups (mens style) and 40 sit-ups.

    Off to make breakfast/lunch for work.

    Wishing everyone a good Wednesday.

    dang, no BL tonite. been watching a little of the Olympics...WOW, their strength and endurance is amazing. I can't imagine having to train years and years for maybe one competition. to have their level of fitness is kinda, sorta, inspiring. I wish working out consistently was just something I looked forward to every day, or just regularly. I know it's necessary, but doing it is a whole different battle......

    anyway, an ok day here. didn't go as planned with the food or exercise, but trying to stay positive here and just look forward to tomorrow and do my best.

    Angie ~ glad you are getting your swims in...I know how much that means to you and how good it makes you feel! good way for you to get in some activity and release any stress. I hope all goes well for Ody's new guard. My youngest son does that too, it is annoying sometimes! I'm sure your glucose will be good....you have done so well during your pregnancy! I'm getting excited for your big day!!

    Barb ~ Congrats on son's bb season! that is really good! nice job on your exercise as well. I can't even do one regular push up. I have tried and tried, even had my boyz help me. I just think it is impossible for my body to ever do one. We have not really had any snow for a few days....but it has been blowing, drifting and sticking to the blacktops. The calendar says Spring will be here in about a month!! ?? oh boy!!

    Cindy ~ Enjoy visit from Aunt. You are so busy and keeping up with the exercise routine!! So proud of you!! Feeling some of your energy and it is motivating me!! I agree, don't stop.....the pain is a real bummer! I want to work towards that desire of actually looking forward to a good workout! A ways to go yet.

    Just reading what everyone is doing for movement has got me a little pumped here, thanks ladies! :flowerforyou:

    Have a nice evenin' everyone!

    Hello Peppers

    Sorry i havent been around much ,,,,, havent felt like chatting ..... but i feel like a real person again ... cast is off :bigsmile: hope everyone is doing good ..... i weighed this morning and i am at 178 so i lost 4 pounds not too shabby considering i couldnt workout with that darn cast
  • angiemcnett
    angiemcnett Posts: 429
    Itty- Great news about your cast coming off!!:bigsmile: Remember to ease back into an exercise routine when you are ready. You don't want to over work your foot. Congrats on the weight lose!!:flowerforyou:

    Sindy - I can't imagine signing up my baby for college classes. Hope all goes well and he gets the classes he wants.:smile:

    Lynette - Glad you are feeling better. For Wisconsin, the weather hasn't been that bad here but I sure would love some 60's. Does it come with sunshine?:smile:

    BAI- Congrats on your son's bb game. What a great season his team is having.!:happy: I don't think I could do a push to save my life and probably not even a sit-up right now. I can barely walk 1.5 miles let alone run especially right now. Since I became pregnant I get bloated when I walk a lot. Keep up the good work.:smile:

    Kelly - Keep your chin up.:happy: Today is a new day. I appreciate all of your encouragement and your work as leader of our group.:flowerforyou: I wish I could be as motivating as you are. I look forward to reading all the encouragement you share with others. Just take one day at a time.

    I hope the rest of you are having a great day!:smile:
