    Happy Friday everyone!! A gorgeous day here!! :bigsmile:

    Well, I am down 1.8 lbs this week....scale showed 192.4.....with much credit going to the last 2 days of completely eating clean! For the 15 minute walk challenge I only did 2 days really, but 1 hrs worth. Have done a walk jog this am, and gonna get in a power walk 15 minutes later today....and get started on the sit-up challenge!

    HI Lynette!! just a small gain for you....you know what to do! keep with it!

    Jacque ~ congrats on the loss! YIPPY!! thanks for getting these challenges going again....IT HELPS!

    house chores today. bus trip tomorrow ( just take and return them...so I can be home and enjoy the nice day!! ) :glasses:

    Let's all be mindful this weekend and aim for sticking to our plans.....eating and exercising! You can do it you pepper's!

    Hi gang!

    We went to my inlaws today for lunch...spent most of the day over there...visiting MIL while my dh, son and FIL cut down trees. Really nice day here....and everyone is mowing again! I have been fighting (allergies) a sore throat for a few days and lastnite my chest became very tight so I took some cough syrup and went to bed. Woke 3 hrs later and could not breathe..felt like I was trying to get air thru a straw....it was horrible, and it scared me. My dh got up and was concerned and ready to take me to the ER, but I did a breathing treatment with my son's nebulizer and that helped some, but then b/c I was still having troubles breathing, I had a panic attack....I was a mess! I have never had it this bad. SO, I spent the nite on the couch and didn't sleep well. Have done 2 more breathing treatments and am getting better, but am so tired! Will get in my push ups later....but likely nothing aerobic. Well, hope you all have a nice evening and are ready to tackle this week and wt loss! Let's do this my friends! Go SHGP's. Make each day count! Plan and prioritize!

    Well, I attempted to cut/paste rock climbing pics on this thread.... I couldn't figure it out!
    So, if you wanna check out my rock climbing pics -- go to my profile.
    Some of my Girl Scouts did an indoor rock climbing event.... needless to say, I'm the crazy leader who will try it all.
    I will say I had challenges w/the wall. Definitely requires more upper body strength than I anticipated. And I was only successful w/the kiddie beginner rope mount.

    Kelly - how are you now?

    Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend!

    My cough is a little more productive this am, but I need another breathing treatment. I don't really like Albuterol, it makes me jittery, lol. But it does help. Still lacking on a good nites sleep and seriously thinking I need to just be in a different room....dh snores, terrible. :frown: He seems to have no problem getting his 7-8 or even 9 hrs...:noway:

    I did a walk jog this am in the wind....and the challenge was all the way back. Burned 125 there and 157 coming home. Didn't go as far, b/c of my lungs...but may go out again later when the wind calms down..and the sun comes out! :glasses:

    Vita ~ dang that scale! hope you can get out of this plateau soon. I know how frustrating it is! You are getting plenty of exercise, maybe you need to increase your calories? like 100-200 a day. I think you are burning more calories than I am and I eat 1400-1700 a day, and have been steadily losing. Just an idea for ya..... You are determined! :heart:

    Barb ~ the rock climbing sounds cool! I would love to try that....but with no one around. I lack upper body strength, and it is where I carry most of my wt. Still can't do a real push up! I bet that motivated you when you finished!! Congrats! :flowerforyou:

    One of my co-workers brought in snack bag size of skittles candy.

    Ok, so I grab one bag to enjoy. After a few chews I think, man, a got a hard one. So i spit the candy out in a tissue and threw the tissue my work trash can.

    After I did that I realzed I have a gap in my gums. My permanment dental crown came out! There it was in the half chewed spit out skilltes candy. I went to my boss, told him I had to take the afternoon off and held out my palm with my tooth in it.

    So I had an unscheduled dental visit today. Let me state yesterday I was at the dentist for my 6 month cleaning. Needless to say after some dental work I had last summer I do dislike dental visits.

    The dentist laughed at me.... told me he replaces a lot of crowns after the Halloween candy comes out.

    What I learned - leave the damn candy alone.

    Hi Smokin' Hot Green Peppers! In about 4 more weeks my baby will be here. I am so excited and nervous. I get tired easily now so I don't exercise as much but I still try to exercise for about 60 minutes at least 5 days a week. Hopefully I won't gain too much more weight.

    Megan- Sorry to hear about your friend.

    Barb- Hope your tooth doesn't give you anymore problems.

    Kelly - Thanks for the great chart.

    How is everyone doing on the exercise challenge? I am not doing a very good job. No reason I can't do push ups against the wall. I will do 25 today! Have a great day everyone!:smile:

    Hey all....glad to see some activity in here....was gettin' a little worried bout my team...still fightin' this dang wheezy cough. I guess this is one of the worse allergy season's on record? A better nite sleepin' but, still need more. Eatin' has been poor the last 2 days...too much processed food...and have not walked since Monday. Tryin' not to let this allergy thing get me down and set me back. My youngest son (my baby, a Sr.) turns 18 tomorrow! Both boys are going to Des Moines for a concert....so, I will worry til they are back home. I did not get varsity boys track (activity) driving this Spring, which is ok b/c that will give me more time to plan for graduation ( May 16th). But, I am hoping to get a job this summer driving for a local camp that runs routes for 9 wks....no weekends. This will be new for me as I usually have most of the summer off....but really needing the xtra income. Will know in 2 wks if I get it or not.

    Angie ~ your big day is getting closer!! I think you should be very proud of your commitment to exercise during this pregnancy... I truly admire you for that . You have gained only a small amount, and I bet it will come sooner than you think. Just a few more weeks to go!! So excited!!

    Vita ~ be careful on them skates! have fun with them kiddos and the circus coming to town!

    Cindy ~ hope all is well for you and your busy schedule...take care!

    Barb ~ today has been a Milky Way day for me....choc & sweets calling....which I need to ignore. Hope things go well for your chompers!

    Good day gang! :heart: you all!
