    Hi everyone ... just making a quick report here ... I'm back from my Hiking Trip to Tobermory ... it was the best de-stressing trip ever. I'm a little stresssed to be back at work now ... but I'll just have to deal with the reality and move on. Hopefully I'm back on my healthy lifestyle track now. Gotta get working ... I'll talk to you as soon as my home computer is up and running again.

    Good morning Pepper's,
    I think we all need to remember there will always be a hump to get over, but we are all trying to get over them and even if it takes 8 or 9 times (like me and me veggies:laugh: ) we will keep trying. So dont get down the day is new and it is never to late to start again. :drinker:

    This has been a very tough week with getting all my veggies in but I have gotten at least 2 a day. I am doing great on water, fruits and exercise. It stopped raining yesterday and I was able to get my 36 min walk in.

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

    :flowerforyou: Hey all, I have been MIA for most of this week so far. I have been taking me time to sit and read, and reducing the tv time, and the kids being annoying time:laugh: Made a load of home made applesauce (well atleast aht is what i call it, boiled apples blended with cinnamon and cloves) :bigsmile: I love it!
    I hav NOT been getting H2o down at all really I dont know why but I will kick my butt in gear better, need to get moving this week and get a load of exercise in. Just a lot of stressors preventing me, but it is not making me happy not going to work out at all:grumble: So I will get my butt in gear!
    doing good on fruit and veggies:) :drinker: Hope everyone has a wonderful wednesday and I wil get my head out of my butt and start getting to it:)

    hi all ~
    well, back from bus trip. i worked on my seating assignments for almost 2 hours!! i am up to 61 kids now on a 65 passenger bus, actually seats 43 comfortable. 3 kiddos in some seats. never had this many, and a long route, 1 hr and 10 min.

    glad to see everyone checking in and reporting how things are going. sounds like many of us are having a tough week. i have really been slacking on the exercise and me time..... fruits, veggies and water ok. i find i do better with some issues ( past bad habits ) over others. like ok, it is Halloween time....the old me would be eatin the trial size bars like they were bite size ones and by this time have had to replace 3-4 bags. well, i am proud to say i have only had one trial size bar and only 2 bags thus far. folks dont forget all the little changes you are making day to day, week to week, or month to month. this all go towards efforts of our changing lifestyle. and what i think is great is that we are still here in this, whether we have a good day or bad day, or good week or bad week. it shows you are being somewhat mindful of your health and takin it seriously to the next level. don't ever give up on you, and remember it is usually only you that controls what the outcome of every day is. i believe in all of you and know we can succeed here.

    keep on keepin and make it count! :flowerforyou:

    happy thursday team!

    yesterday was good and today is as well so far....but i am doubtful of a loss tomorrow. i have not worked out as much this week and feel my hormones may be tinkering with me a lil.

    have a great day!:flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone,

    Just got back from the doctor. He was very happy that I've lost 45 lbs since the last time he saw me. :happy: He actually thanked me for helping him take care of me. :blushing: But, although I've changed my eating habits my cholesterol is high. I'm really going to have to focus more on reducing the cholesterol in my food. My dad has heart diease and he had a bipass about 10 years ago. That's what I'm trying to avoid. My doc realizes that it could be hereditary, but he wants me to try to lower it by diet before we resort to medication. I'm really disappointed and a little scared.:cry: I didn't expect this at all.

    On a happier note, the weather yesterday was actually good enough for my hubby and me to ride bikes. We rode for about 40 minutes. We probably would have tried for longer, but it was dark. I still don't have all my time in for the week, but I'm going to try to fix that tonight.

    I hope everyone has a good day. :flowerforyou:

    Good afternoon everyone, I hope your day is going well. I just found this site to help me calculate my miles/kilometers when I hike or walk ... I love it so I thought I would share.

    Hey all, well had a crappy start to the last few days, but I let it all out and told off the people taht needed to be told off , havn't had enough time to get out there nad really get my exercise in but, I have been eating really well, getting most of my H2o in and taking some me time to read or relax in teh tub at the end of the day when the kids are in bed.
    Tonight went for a walk/ RUN! WOW it didn't last that long because the kids were riding bikes and it was raining but they were bundled up really well.
    BUT the point to this peppers is THAT I quit smoking because I WANTED to run
    (amongst other reasons) and I RAN (A little but I ran):) Tomorrow I am gonna get a stab at it again while the kids are at school :bigsmile: Im very excited! YAY
    and peppers my pants are falling off and my fat belt ( that i had to put 3 smaller holes in myself) it at the end of its rope...meaning I can't get it any smaller, so I need a new belt made for a smaller person:) YAY YAY YAY YAY:flowerforyou: feeling accomplished!
    Hope all of oyu arer doing well:) looking forward to weigh in!
    ~Miss KELLY- Im suggesting that fornext week we all try to do mini work out :
    25 sit up s
    25 jumping jax
    25 push ups
    OR whatever you can do, but try to do it daily:)
    What do you think?:bigsmile: :heart: :heart:

    its been a rough week ..... not much time to update.

    For friday, i weighed in at 165.2 -- it's an increase from the previous friday. this isn't suprising. I did drink some cocktails over the weekend and it was a stressful week.

    i'm actually visiting relatives today so I will send the amount of exercise minutes for last week.
