    Happy Friday Pepper's,
    Well not expected but welcome 1 pound loss, 196 was weight this morning. I hope that means I lost more but because it is my week I will show more of a loss next week :drinker:

    I have not been adding my little walks and I think it helped with the loss. Hope everyone has a loss this week. Will check back to see how everyone is doing.

    Have a great day! :bigsmile:

    Hey everyone, still trying to get some pep in my step. I lost 3.6 lbs this week, so that makes me feel a little better. :smile: I'm at 215.8 this morning.

    I'm determined to get back into the grove of things starting now! I need to find something to excite me about exercise. I'm bored. C25K is on the back burner for now. I really can't motivate myself to go run on the treadmill anymore. I hate treadmills. Once it warms up around here, I'll start back again but outside this time. Thinking I might find a kickboxing DVD to try until spring comes. I :heart: spring!!!

    hi peppers


    Congrats on being losers :tongue:

    Kelly you have the positive attitude .... you can and WILL do this ...... you can do it girl .... sending you motivation :flowerforyou:

    Have a great weekend everyone
  • I lost a little this week (.8 pound). I am at 214.4 today. :smile: I would like to keep at that weight for the next month so I will back on my track for weight gain. Doctor said every thing is going good so far with my pregnancy. He said if the glucose screening was abnormal he would call otherwise he'd see me in 2 weeks. I can't believe I go back every 2 weeks now. Time is flying by. 81 more days or less before baby will be here. I am getting excited.:bigsmile: I never thought that a 2+ pound baby could hit/kick as hard as it does. I hope everyone is have a great day!:smile:

    Good Morning Pepper's,
    Just wanted to check in. Did my shred yesterday. working right now so can not stay on. :drinker: for all the losers and for all that did not you will get there. Have a good day. :bigsmile:
  • Where is everyone? Everyone seems so quite lately. I hope all is going good with everyone. I look forward to reading everyone posts.I am a stay at home mom with not much to do, but I don't like typing that much so I don't post as often as I read. Plus, my life is pretty boring. I go to the gym and exercise then come come home and do things around the house. No excitement. I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!:smile:

    Good Morning Pepper's,
    I dont know what happend last night I went chocolate crazy :sad: went way over my calories. I had no control I could not stop. I hope that does not change my loosing. Today the craving is gone. but it was bad and I did not even enjoy it because I knew I should not have been eating it. Hope everyone did better than me yesterday.

    Got to get back to work. I will just have to let this go but it is going to be hard. :angry: so mad at myself. :cry:

    Good Mornin' SHGP's! Hope you all are doing ok. Been a little quiet in here lately, and that concerns me. Hope it's just work or busy life has taken you from here. Missin' you all....

    Helped my mom and dad Saturday paint at their rental. Just primmer, so not done yet. It is really looking nice though...makes me want to re-do some of my rooms here. Yesterday I did laundry and watched some Olympics. Today the sun is shining and I think I will sit near a window for a while to get some Vit D.

    Still trying to get control with my eating and motivate myself to exercise. Want a better week then I have had for a while. Last week of Feb!! Planning my meals and doing as much prep ahead of time will help. Need to stop the negative thinking and get my mind back on track. Meals are all planned for today and even though I am dreading the workout and the pain it is likely to bring the next few days, I know it is necessary. I remember saying in the past "don't ever stop exercising"...well, I ignored that, and look where it has put me. Just have to do it, regularly. Make it a habit. I actually think exercise is more important ( for me ) than eating. If my eating is not all that healthy, but within calories, I can still burn them off. So, I guess the change to eat healthier has been easier than the change to exercise more. Getting out of my comfort zone and pushing myself is what I truly lack. Trying harder here.

    Angie ~ congrats on the loss, almost a pound! glad all is going good with your pregnancy!! little more than 2 mos to go! do you have everything ready? I am so happy for you and your family!! Babies are precious! take care lil momma!

    Jacque ~ congrats on being down 2 lbs! Hope you had a good time in Dallas with the cheerleaders! Sounds like a lot of fun! How many are on the squad?

    Cindy ~ it's ok... your choc fix was only 1 event and 1 day. no more! how is the shred going? is your soreness letting up? are you on level 1 or 2? keep at it, you are doing awesome!!

    oh, I wanted to share with you all too....I had my dh and sons measure my ht over the past few days. Now, I had heard that you are a little taller in the am than the pm ( b/c of your joints compressing during the day ) BUT, I was shocked when I was just over 5'4" in the am and about 5' 3 1/4 in the pm. :noway: That is almost an INCH!! Have any of you experienced this? So, do you average the two for your 'real' height? Crazy!

    Have a great day team, make it count!!! :bigsmile:

    Hey guys, Don't know why but on weekends it is so hard to stay in calories!!! Frustrating....I need to get SERIOUS!!

    Has anyone ever had bronchitis? I have been feeling better since a COLD but now sometimes when I cough (dry) I have a BURNING OR stinging in the chest? Never had that before?? Might have inflammation? I am getting kind of down since this cold started over 2 weeks ago and now this?? Want to work out but just dont feel 100%. :(
  • kelly_a
    kelly_a Posts: 2,010 Member
    Lynette ~ with bronchitis, I usually get a sore throat and a little tightness in my chest esp w/just breathing or deep breathing. sometimes I get a little wheezy too.... and when I cough it hurts in my chest, mainly when it's productive. HTH. do you have a temp or yellowish mucos? might need some antibiotics? get well soon....take care!
  • lynettep
    lynettep Posts: 157
    Thanks Kelly!! I have yellow to clear mucus....also no temp. Never really get sick like this...frustrating. Guess I will just see if the chest pain goes way in a couple of days...if not...Doctor here I come. :)

    I didnt eat junk, or over eat, just didnt record what i ate....which is a no no too but, what the hey weighed in at 206 (So I gained a pound) :( Things ae getting back to norm here STILL EATING MEAT FREE.
    Taking a mini trip that I am getting excited about for mothers day with my gal friend!!!we are getting rid of the kids for the weekend and FLYING to VEGAS! no men, no kids! JUST RELAXATION! this is a very close friend and she has never been away from her kids (JUST LIKE ME) her parents both took their lives this year:( so i told her that we were gonna go and hang out. Havn't seen eachother in two years! BATHING suite required:( so I gotta get this jiggle gone!
    Bought a new bra yesterday;( that was depressing..... for a girl with DD's to now be in a C is a sad day, but atleast it is for a good reason!
    Gonna read back and get caught up! Missed you all!
    HEY BARB~ my girl scout cookies came to me, and I didnt order my fave this year (SOMOAS) I ordered the berry ones that were healthire (Dont know if you guys have those too) but I dont like them;( It for the better though then I dont have to eat them! LOL

    Hey Vita! So glad you posted.... :bigsmile: Your Mother's Day weekend sounds like a good time coming! There is plenty to do in Sin City! What a fun place to go!! Where are you staying? I, along with my mom, sis and aunt were at the Imperial last July. Hopefully it won't be too hot in May. Oh, have a good time girly! I don't mind the 'girls' smaller size....and another positive is that you are likely losing the back flab/fat too! No more roll over the bra!! ( sorry Mike :happy: )

    Hey everyone....

    Miss V - our Girl Scout council did not have the GS cookie you wrote of. Our low cal version is 100 calorie package (5 packs in box) of a cinnamon ginger spice cookie. Tasty. Enjoy VEGAS. You lucky gal!

    Kelly I've been measured morning, afternoon, night..... I haven't noticed a difference... in the future I will.

    Lynn - I admit watching the calories over the weekend is challenging. This weekend I did limited reporting on my calories and extra chocolate candy. Sigh....
    And i wasn't able to do my lunchtime walk this weekend.

    Today, I couldn't do my lunch walk; however, I did run 1.5 miles, did 25 push-ups and 50 sit-ups. And because I forgot hubby at work.... I had to miss going to curves. Yes, I left hubby in his building. I drove home totally forgetting we drove in together. Once home, he calls wanting to know when I was picking him up. I had to drive back to work...... Oh well, But I LOVE my purple car so any excuse to drive it ..... thing goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.

    I was very successful in watching what I ate. Didn't feel hungry either. And after a small dinner I realized I still had to eat more to get to 1250 calories. So I had a small bowl of cereal. Still wasn't at 1250. So I thought I'll have a glass of wine. Here I was adding ounces to figure out how much wine I can have to get me over 1250. Ladies, 9oz of wine put me at 1265 calories.

    Now, isn't that something, I'm measuring out wine......

    Have a great nite all......
  • I finally started to clean out the junk room for the baby. :grumble: I should have done this a long time ago, but I am a great procrastinator. I still have a long ways to go yet. I have started!!:bigsmile: I did 7 loads of laundry today reminding me why I don't wait a week to do laundry. I hope to make more progress in the junk room tomorrow. It would be great if I could get most of it done before my mother-in-law visits this weekend. I am having my first baby shower in 3 weeks so I need to have the room done by then so I have a place to put the gifts the baby receives, things I am borrowing, and the hand-me downs I am getting also. So much work so little time. Right now I am very glad I am not working. I hope everyone is having a great evening. Good night!:smile:
  • Good Morning all,
    Ok Back from Dallas, late Sunday night. Woke up monday with a stiff knne and pain. Must of been from all the walking over the weekend. took the day off and catch up on laundry, didn't get much done too sleepy and knee pain. Well looks like texas is gonna get snow tonight! I know all you snow people are probably tired of it but for us Texan its a big deal. What a year snow, flurries and now snow again. Almost afraid how hot the summer is gonna be.
    Ok so I decided it time to get on track, of course the knee thing is gonna slow me down so I am gonna try to eat CLEAN as Kelly would say. As soon as knee feels better start walking again.
    Will try to be good about logging in, except at night, monitor is still broken:frown:
    Update: DS is doing better, able to move around more. Still getting used to the idea of a pace maker.
    Nephew baby is alomost 7 lbs per ultrasound so Doctor no longer worry about baby Oliva being too small and Mom doing good :smile:
    DD has decided to quit cheerleading and focus on shcool YEAH!!! Went to doctor and talked about her anxiety so that was a big plus.
    Well hope everyone is having a goodc week so far and will talk more later

    Hey Pepper's! Happy Tuesday to you!!

    Still frigid here, 4* this am, and I guess below zero windchill. As many of you know, I like winter, after all, it is a season we have in Iowa. I don't mind the snow, and in fact I would rather look out and see white then brown. Yes, I like all my sweaters, layering clothes, winter coats, boots, etc and having to warm up the bus an my car. The air just seems more fresher when it is bitter cold! Yrs ago, I would even do my 2-3 mile walk outside in freezing/wind chill temps! It always boosted my energy level! I would like snow til about mid March, then it can get warmer and muddy!

    Will be home today doing laundry, cleaning and givin' my puggers a bath. So far, eating has been good. I literally put my bathroom scale in the kitchen so I would see it every time I went out there! :bigsmile: So, here's to a great day gang! Plan your day so that you can stay on track! It is just one day! Make it count! :flowerforyou:

    Barb ~ Have you always been a runner? Did you work your way up to 1.5 miles? I'm lovin' that purple car!! My fav color! Woo hoooooo Hang on!! Hey, good job on the cals yesterday..and even better ending it with a glass of (9oz) wine! :smile:

    Jacque ~ sorry you have a sore knee, take care and go slow back with it. Just watch your cals and get in your water. You'll lose! Glad sis and baby ok. Hope all goes well for your dd. I have anxiety issues and it can really s--k some days! Good that you are gettin her to Dr.
  • Lynette - I struggle with eating on weekend also especially because I don't usually get exercise in. Being at home all weekend without going anywhere (usually), I find myself always wanting to snack on anything. You are not alone in the struggle. Sorry I have no good advice. :ohwell:

    Kelly - I am not even close to having anything ready for the baby. I am starting to get the junk room cleaned out for the baby. :grumble: I have some things but nothing has a place yet. Let me know if the scale in the kitchen works for you. I may try it along with a huge note say, "NO gain allowed or baby will be mad." Mild winter weather is ok but I really don't like temps below 30. Snow can be pretty until it block the view from your window. I live in an apartment and the plow guy piles the snow in front of my living room window so I can only see out the top 2/3 to 1/2 of the window.

    MissV - I am so jealous that you are a C. I only lose about 1/2 cup in that area ever and I am so huge I struggle find bras that fit. Be thankful you don't have my problem. I hope you have a great time with your friend in Vegas even if bathing suits are required. Enjoy yourself!:happy:

    Jacque - Be sure to take it easy with your sore knee. If swimming is an option for you that would be a good exercise with a sore knee. I am glad your sister is doing better and adjusting to the pace maker. Glad the baby is doing ok. Hope everything works out good with your daughter.

    I better stop putting off cleaning out the junk room and get to it. I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day!!:smile:

    Angie, so far so good with the scale in the kitchen. one time I even put post it notes on the frig and cupboards, and **IF** I opened them a picture of me at my highest wt was there staring at me! :bigsmile:

    good luck on the baby room. so special decorating and getting the nest ready! with our youngest son ( last baby ) we kept it tight lipped til I was about 4 mos preg, and how our family learned about our 'surprise' was during a family gathering....and, a visit to what used to be a play room for our oldest, turned into a baby room, completed!! It was a lot of fun!

    Hope you all are having a good Tuesday! One more week til BL!! I can't wait!

    Hey all --

    I ws doing good..... had 2 slice of pizza for dinner. Came home from ortho thinking I have calories left. Add 1 serving of Girl Scout cookies, thin mint, 1 serving (4 cookies) now I'm over by 38 calories. I should have logged in that pizza BEFORE i grabbed a single serving. Oh well, it's only 38 calories. It's only 38 calories - no biggie.

    Due to rain, no lunch walk today. Due to girls ortho appt - no curves either.

    So Jackie - about time someone else is getting the snow. I have snow projections starting 12am Thursday ending 5pm Thursday. Sigh, here we go again........

    Angie - I've been invited to 7 baby showers for 4 people. All of these showers are within a 10 day period. Yikes. Can we say cake overload. Especially when there's a shower on a Weds, Thurs, Fri and a Sunday. Can someone just direct me to what water these woman drank. I want some of that get me pregnant water. Ladies and Mike, that's another story for another day.

    Miss V - I will state I absolutely hate when the girls get smaller. Waist smaller please -- keep the girls the way they are! Who do we make this plea to?

    Kelly - you asked about my running. Well, the miltiary "forces" me to run. It's part of my fitness test. If I fail the test, I lose my miltary membership, then I lose my federal employee job..... So, yes, I need to be a runner. Do I like it... not really.. maybe if I ran at any pace - no care about time or how far I went.

    Time to wash some dishes... no dishwasher and I swear put a fork and a spoon in the sink leave overnight - Bam, now you got a bowl, glasses, plastic cups, a small plate or two, etc etc etc

    Take care. Wishing all a good Wednesday.

    Good morning Pepper's,
    Have been real busy with the jobs and did not log in yesterday. Have not hit the chocolate again :drinker: I have trouble on the week ends too. Now that I am working all week end it is easier. I eat when bored.

    I have not had energy or time to do the shred this week, I did on Saturday I do plan on keeping at it on the week ends when I have more time in the morning.

    Got to get back to work, will check back in later.
    Have a great day :bigsmile:

    Happy Hump Day! We're almost to the weekend!!

    Well, I finally had a good, clean, exercising DAY!! yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaay! Gonna repeat that for today. No if's, and's, or but's!

    Barb ~ looks like you're gonna get another layer of the white stuff...enjoy the beauty of it girl! when you're ready to talk the baby story...I'm listening! go for it! I have a DW and our dishes set on the counter, right above it, rarely in it! :grumble:

    Cindy ~ way to win the chocolate battle! The weekends can be tougher....only if we let it. I know how hard it is to stay on track, I KNOW!! Just try to treat Saturday and Sunday like it is a week day. Plan and prepare. Or, if you are gonna go out, then make that your only * off * meal. 1 meal out of the entire weekend is doing pretty good I say. And the candy, chocolate, chips, etc. HIDE IT! If not, get a serving size and then leave the kitchen and lock the door! ( I don't have a door in mine...'cept to the basement...which is probably where I should put all my junk food, aka kids food!)

    Hey Team, make it count and make it a great day! Grab that smile! :bigsmile:
