Happy Monday Mornin Team. Hope you are all doing good and ready for a positive, healthy week! I am gonna try to do better this week @ plannin my food and having things ready for snacks and meals. gonna do my best to get water in and try for a lil more, and lookin to increase my workout times too. In order for us to meet our Thanksgiving goal of 400 hours, for those of us participating, we need to aim for 100 hrs week...and you can see we are at about 1/2 that for the first week. I know I really need to improve here. Gonna hit the treadmill as soon as i get off here, and then I am going to paint at my folks, then plan is to get another workout in after my pm route.
Have a great day and make it count! :flowerforyou:0 -
crystal way to go on the wt loss! you sound pumped for all the activity you have planned! so proud of you!
Well, I was pumped. And then Saturday I fell off the treadmill. Literally!! :frown:
I’m bruised and battered from my chin to my knees. :sad: My left knee is so sore and swollen I can barely walk, let alone exercise right now. The whole thing started a tailspin of overeating all weekend because I was so upset. All the Halloween treats around didn’t help. I’m just so disappointed that I can’t exercise. I’m going to have to really watch to food in order to lose anything. I’m really hoping that my knee starts feeling better soon so I can try to get some exercise in this week.
On a positive note, I have taken over all the cooking responsibilities in my house. My DH and I used to just take turns cooking, but not any more. He serves the same 5 meals in rotation and most of them are not healthy. I’m giving us some variety and trying show him that healthy does not mean bad. So, now I cook and he does the dishes. Seems fair to me.
Hope everyone has a great day!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
I know I was very upset on Friday. Well that just ticked me into lots of exercise this week end, Friday did an 60 min walk,Sat raked and yardwork for 2 hours, and sunday more yard work for 30 min. I did have some candy (ok a lot of candy), but did not go over calories :drinker: Aunt Flow came for a visit last night so that could be the pound I gained. We shall see. :laugh: I will not let it get me down, I know I am trying hard and give myself credit, had a hard time with the candy but today, dont want any and not even craving it.
I will continue to work hard and do the challages. I will be very good until Thanksgiving dinner, I want that dinner with out guilt. :bigsmile:
Have to get back to work, have a great day Pepper's :bigsmile:0 -

Hi All! I stayed at the same weight this week, but am proud of myself for sticking to the gym this past week. 400 minutes of exercise!
Started the first day of my leave with the gym too! Now I'm off to run 1,000 errands today. It's my first day off of work, and I'm sooooo busy! Already!
Have a great week Peppers!0 -

evenin gang!
today was right on for food and exercise. this am i did a walk/jog on my treadmill, and the last segement of jogging i pushed myself to do another minute! 6 minutes straight! YIPPY! i am feeling so much stronger, every day! painted at my folks about 3 hrs....i took my own lunch which was a bean/salsa/cheese wrap. my mom tried to feed me grilled cheese on italian bread, and chili. there was a little bit of tension, but i said NO! gonna try and explain myself a little more next time. just want her support, and no criticism. anyway, did my pm route and then walked 2 miles w/Leslie. hoping for a good nites rest tonite :yawn:
crystal ~ omgosh...hope you are ok with your treadmill injury. they can be dangerous, and i prefer the outdoors anytime over mine. almost have to focus on what you are doin on them..and i always want to watch tv.:ohwell: i think if you just stay within your calories and drink your water you should be fine. take care girl! hey, likin the cookin deal you have with dh. i always feel happier when i make something healthy and they like it!
makes it more worth my time. have fun with it and i am sure he will love what you make!
sindy ~ wow, you had a busy weekend with the exercise! way to go!
ittybitty ~ sorry to confuse you...and i was wrong. i think i mentioned starting a Thanksgiving challenge and that was on the 26th of Oct, so it will be a month for the challenge. i will correct the chart. i think it was ok to celebrate w/son's bday! gotta do that occ'l! :bigsmile:
artichoke ~ good job on holding things steady! nice workout stats! :drinker:

jacque ~ it's ok dear...today is a new day!!! i know you can do this!
Sassie ~ i need to get you added to our charts! love ya sweets!
hi to everyone else.....hope you're all doing good..thinkin of ya!0 -
The biggest surprise occurred today -- I checked my curves attendance tag into the computer. All kinds of bells & whistles went off. I didn't realize the sounds was for me.....
For the month of OCTOBER, I was the biggest "loser" at my curves. Overall, I lost 4.5 inches. Remember last month, I placed 3rd. Last month I was surprised so I am still surprised I placed 1st this month.
Kelly - did you get my exercise minutes off the week 6 posting? Let me know if I need to pull it out.
Crystal - sorry to hear about your injury. Damn them treadmills.
Megan - here's an idea - take the leftover birthday cake to the office or send to a neighbor's or hubby's workplace. In my office, they tend to gobble up anything brought in -- leftover or just purchased.
Overall today, I planned my meals.... did a 20 minute walk during lunch, did 20 minutes jog, and 30 minutes curves. So, I'm getting backto my normal schedule.
The only challenge I faced I was lunch. I had less than 15 minutes to inhale my lunch before a 1pm meeting.
Hope Tuesday is good for everyone.

thanks Maggie.... the graphic you post are awesome.
Ok, folks I'm home today w/ a sick child. It seems my son had a relapse. He was sick last week as well.
So today i'll catch up on Scout Leader work, my banking, housework, laundry, tackle the piles of clutter in the house.....
You know the stuff done over the weekend, problem is I'm working this weekend.
All the food I planned for today, I'll bring into work tommorrow. Unless, I'm home again.
Today, I'll be able to view my pantry & fridge contents and eat accordingly.

Good Afternoon Pepper's,
Just got back from my 35 min walk, eating all the right foods today, I ended up getting 2 15 min. walks yesterday too. Need to drink more water.
Crystal - sorry to hear about your injury, hope you are better soon.
Kelly hope you have a great afternoon with parents :flowerforyou:
Jacque glad you made it to the gym.
Barb that is great, first place. :drinker: Congrats
I am still reading posts so if I missed you, :flowerforyou: Everyone is doing great on the exercise challenge.
GO PEPPER'S :drinker:
Have to get back to work. Have a great day. :bigsmile:0 -
Good morning gals! Yesterday was tough; the start of the first week on leave and I wasn't prepared to be as bummed out as I was. I thought that if I kept busy, and out of he house, I would be okay....instead I burst into tears in public....3 times. Ha!! Good thing it's a new day.
Surprisingly, I did well with eating and working out yesterday. Need to work on keeping up with water today. That was always so easy at work. Not so easy while I'm running around all day.
Okay! I'm finishing up my coffee and headed to the gym for Pilates class. Have a great day!!0 -
Miss V - hope you're feeling better soon. So far I am the only one who hasn't been sick in my household. Of course, "this bug" may be lurking for me...waiting for the most "inconvient" time for me.
Artichoke - I do hope you're having a better day. I know the water thing... it's easier for me to do when at work then home.
Take care everyone.0
