Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 3/11 week 10

Barb so sorry. just remember you have people who care about you and will be there when you need to talk or anything. :flowerforyou:



Well for got to weigh in yesterday so I did today. I have been really putting everything into this work out and keeping too calories and the scale is very mean, I will measure but 6 pound gain is way too much for the amount of exercise/nutrition that I have put into the last couple of weeks. I understand muscle weighs more and I know i am gaining muscle but not nice. I am going to wait a week to log my weight I have been having a bad tummy for the last few days and swollen hands and feet. I think I need to drink way more water. This is not going to stop me I am going to keep doing the shred and give it what it says 30 days. Did work out today and doing the heavy cleaning like cleaning rugs and bathrooms, laundry (more exercise ) :bigsmile:

Kelly I think its a good idea for us to let what the scale says get us down it says 30 days not overnight. lets keep going. :drinker:

Jacque I know pain too and hope you get better soon :flowerforyou:

Angie it is very hard to have the me time with young kids but try to make the most of it and play hard with the kids a few days a week and that is exercise just watch calories think of food as single calories it is what makes us go I have small meals though out the day and dont feel hungry but watch what you eat at night when the kidos are in bed that is when it counts the most. You can do this.

Vita missing you

Morning Pepper's,

Well shredded again today, I did take measurements and lost 1 inch in thighs but things still are not making sense so looking through I have not been drinking a lot of water and have been eating a lot of sodium. Laying off sweets and sodium this week I will keep doing what I am doing. knees still hurt but working through it. To day I am going to do the rest of the laundry and maybe a short walk to the corner store. Other than that eating clean and drinking lots of water.

Have a great day :bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: HI all
I have no excuse for being gone, :sick: Im back. I gotta catch up on everything and how everyone is doing so Im gonna look back through the posts!.
I weighed in at 180 this week which Im ok with it isnt a loss or gain but as always I am sitting in one place:huh:
Back to login in and doing the work to get the results that I dream of, my goal really isnt that far away, and as I felt the inches shrink, I know that the scale is staying the same....this yo yo game has been going on for too long.SO I am sticking a word to the inside of my head and everytime i feel stuck then I will yell it inside.... STRONG..... it is al i want to be, mentally,physically,emotionally,as a mother, as an athlete on and on I need to be strong.
MY husband finally comes home this wednesday, so I am in a rush to clean clean clean, the house isnt dirty, its just an OCD thing:drinker: . Then the kids are out of school on the 22nd of june (LATE) then a 2 week trip to see family then come home pack up the house and move to bremerton...wow its gonna be a busy month!
I miss you all and hope that you are hanging in as wel as I am!

Hi Ladies! Today my baby got his first haircut. :sad: NOT that he really needed it but my husband thought so. I have hair for the baby book now. It is lonely without Ody. Ody left to spend 9 weeks in Texas with his other mother. I am always depressed when he leaves. He is my sunshine. Zan is little to understand but I know he will miss Ody. This time of the year is always bad for me.

Kelly - yes, I would like to be added to the chart if it isn't too much trouble. I like the chart. It makes me more accountable, which I need. I am interested in a challenge of the week and/or group. I really like your idea of posting your exercise goals each week. I should do that for exercise and food. I really need to get back into eating better so I can be a good role model for my son.

Cindy- watching what I eat is the biggest struggle I have. Getting exercise in is also a challenge but one I can and hopefully soon will fix by joining a gym that has child care. I will get me time and exercise in at the same time. It will also be good for my son to get away from me for a while.

Barb- I hate it when life gets turbulent. :flowerforyou: I hope things get better soon.

Erica- YEAH!! :bigsmile: I am glad your hubby is coming home!! Sounds like you are going to be very busy until you move. I hate moving because it never goes smooth for us. Good luck with the move. You are looking GREAT!

I hope everyone has a great & safe Memorial Day tomorrow.

Hi all - happy Memorial day.
I spendt the night at a friends house since they didn't want me to be alone for the weekend. Sweet of them.
However, I feel more alone here then at my house.

Trying to stay positive -- knowing ending the relationship was the right thing. It's tough... going to work will be challenging since it was known at work Dave and I were a couple. Church was hard. Folks after service asked me how he was doing.... being polite and saying I'll tell him you asked about him and our relationship ended is tough.

Just handed my plate of pancakes. Talk soon.

Spendt day at friends house - pretzel MMs, watermelon, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate covered cannoli, crab salad.

Not the best but.... heck, so be it.
I had to leave before the bbq started....

But I got breakfast!

Kelly - feel better soon.

At work - already got questions on "how's Dave doing..." Sigh....

Stepped on the scale this am and saw a decrease. Could be stress.
Now with my next fitness test in July, I do plan to focus on weight loss. Hopefully lose that 1/2 inch.
I really don't have to test in July - I do have until November. So if I don't think I got the loss, I'll just wait until the following month.

Afternoon Pepper's
Yesterday my DH came home from camping trip and today is back to work since last Wed. I have been doing the shred for 15 days. would have been 16 but missed a day last week. Sorry but I am very proud of myself I did not last even 4 days last time I tried this work out and even know the scale says bad things. I am still doing this not giving up. Some days it is a real fight but I am realizing how good this is for me.

Kelly I was really upset that I missed a day last week. Hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou: We are halfway there. Keep going you can do this. If there is a certain time of the day you like to do exercise or a good time stick with the same time. I realized if I dont do it first thing in the morning I wont do it. Still have to fight with myself some mornings but not giving up. You can do this :drinker:

Vita looking good, glad your DH is coming home, keep up the great work. Keeping it off is a battle too

Barb if you know it was the right thing to do you have to go with your heart, refocus keep strong :flowerforyou:

Angie you can do this. Kelly and I are doing the shred it is only a 25 min exercise but after 15 days I can feel it. I will stay on level one until I can do it with out any pause and do the exercises correctly. then the next 30 days will move on up in levels. by then I should be in good shape.

Jacque hope you are doing well.

Got to get back to work, my head is still in vacation mode. :bigsmile:

I would say I binged last night.... ate an entire bag of trail mix. I don't know the size of the bag but doesn't matter ate the whole thing. And the scale showed it this morning.

Didn't have motivation for last night's kickboxing class - my mind & body just wasn't into it. I was off in the combinations, felt unable to do kicks, couldn't keep up with the cardio.

Seems I got past the shock of we're done - relationship is over and now my wounded heart is beginning to feel the pain.
Looks like I'm at second stage of the 7 stages of grief. I'm past shock/denial - moved into pain/guilt.

I'm still finding odds and ends of his stuff in the house in places i didn't do a sweep on - like under the bed, in the cedar chest plus mail for him is coming to my house.

Of course the pets are a constant reminder. The dog he's taking... for now I can't have that dog near me.
The birds, fish, rabbit are reminders of items we purchased together. I haven't decided if I'm selling the cockatiel or keeping it.
