Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 2/18 week 7

up 193.6 it is what it is. have a lot of things I need to improve on and CHANGE. have a good weekend friends. sounds like the east folks had a nice day...it was here yesterday....60*. just a little fling of spring. here's to improvements and a better weigh in next week.

happy Sunday ladies! slacking big time here....not logging food, not doing any exercise and not getting enough water. yesterday was not feeling well at all. I still think I am adjusting to 300mg of Bupropion all at once, or these are the side affects I must now live with. Had a kinda bad headache off and on all day/evening. blood pressure was elevated mid evening. 158/98. made me panic. took bath, down a little, but headache still there. went to bed around 10:30 and woke @ 3:30 with headache. layed on couch for about 45 min then fell asleep. woke around 7:30 with no headache. took meds around 10ish and have a headache brewing. gonna do some laundry...4 more days to do as much as I can.

Barb ~ the scale is not our friend. e.v.e.r. I would go check a few other scales too. I know how you feel...just keep moving forward...one day at a time...We have an Outback. Delish! how'd son's game turn out?

thinkin of ya all pepper friends...here's to a week of making better choices and being committed!

Hey friends....Las Vegas here we come!! Still checking on flights. Allegiant arrives late, 8pm (I have to drive 2+ hrs to this airport), or 10:10pm (from a diff airport, 1 1/2 hrs away). Right now price is about $400. If I go major airlines...probably a lot more, but better times.

Also, just in a few days the hotel pricing has increased. I have done the lowest hotel rates search again. Since I am a Total Rewards Gold Member, I did get a small discount. was gonna be $50 - $60 more otherwise.

Let me known where to post the details!!

woot woot!

crazy busy here...trying to get as much done as I can pre-surgery. made lasagna, chili, cooked chicken breasts and baked brownies today. supper was deer minute steaks and sweet potato. gosh the dishes seemed to multiply all day.... doing a little laundry now....house is pretty much cleaned. tomorrow I will bathe my doggies and wash their bedding. might run to the city real quick for a some last minute groceries and pick up some treats for my bus kiddos....I'm gonna miss them...:frown:

hope you're all doing good ladies. hang in there and just focus on one day at a time. before ya know it the week is done, and more good days in a row than not so good will get ya goin in the right direction. think of where ya wanna be and go after it! make it count! love ya pepper team! Go Green! :flowerforyou:

ps...ha ha...got my blood test results back LDL was 94, up from 78 6 mos ago, but they want it under 100, so that is ok. all the rest were good too. no change in meds and recheck in 6 mos. also, my holter moniter showed an average heart rate of 83, and sinus rhythm...so I am just fine! R.E.L.I.E.F.

see you all back here in the am:happy:

hello all! back home and groceries put away. this is the first time I have treated my bus kids this year...they are gonna be so surprised!! think I'll make my fav meal for supper tonite ~ stir fry! scallops or shrimp? goin to the bank now and then home to wash my puggers. gotta keep working on my list!!

Jacque...hope things get better for your hand. sorry to hear you are having probs...is this the one you had surgery on? thanks for the wishes....I am starting to get nervous.

Barb ~ **you** miss Kickboxing queen!! woot woot! it pretty much does your whole body right?? love it! kick it away!

Cindy ~ put that TOM beast where it belongs! take it easy with them 2 jobs!

Vita ~ hi, hope all is well out West. thinkin of you.

Love ya SHGP's. will check in again later.

this pepper is draggin' butt...had quite a few missin on my route, so have lots of left overs.....ds is lovin' that! caught my dh eatin a fruit roll up too! had to get a hold of about 10 families about new driver....supper ran late...think we ate at 8pm. ds helped with prep. we do it the long way...make our own sauce, cut our own veggies, cook our own meat.... time consuming. I am just amazed that my 18 yr old son eats peppers, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, water chestnuts....I swear he is 1/2 Mexican. Can't get enough hot/spice in that boy. recipe called for 2 tsp of hot sauce, he put in like 5. hope I can sleep tonite with a tummy on fire.. pretty much ready for tomorrow. gosh, my mom called, my sister, our oldest boy....whew. He is now goin into Geography Urban/Regional Spatial Emphasis. Started out wanting to be a teacher, nope. Anyway, his best friend is going into the health/food career and my son asks me tonite if he can somehow get 5 acres of dh/grandparents land and try some organic farming out??? big ideas they have these days. I told him, ya know organic food is becoming more and more popular. the more people buy it, hopefully the more affordable it will become.

so, I gotta get some rest now. I will check in tomorrow am, and likely start the new thread....earlier then normal. I have no idea what time I will get home, nor what kind of shape I will be in. Thinking I might do my weigh in a day early. after a night of fasting then pumped with fluids, Friday could be bad. we'll see. maybe I'll post both days...could be interesting.

nite all...

didn't get the best nights rest, but will have time to catch up, soon... gonna shower and head out around 10:45am. Surgery is @ 1:30. Hope to be back home between 6 - 7 tonite if all goes well. scale was very nice to me today....186.2. will report this for our Fri weigh in, but I will weigh tomorrow as well, just curious as to what my body will be going thru. hungry, nauseated, at the moment....:sick:

have a good one my friends. thanks for all your prayers and wishes. you all mean so much to me and always make my day a little brighter...you're the bestest cyber friends a girl could ask for. I love each of you.
