    I am up 1.6 pounds this week. I am at 209 this week. I did great drinking my water and getting me time, but not so good on fruit and veggies. Hopefully, I will get back on track. I am going to make a chart of how much and what types of food I should be eating so I can have a visual aid to help in making better choices. I did get 725 minutes of exercise in this week. If I would just stop eating chocolate.:grumble: Hope the rest of you are doing better. Have a great day!:smile:

    :drinker: Down 3.6 lbs this week to 229.2!!! :drinker: No exercise. I know there is no way I can do enough in the next 2 weeks to make up my minutes for the Thanksgiving exercise challenge. I'll do my best to make up what I can.

    Have a great day everyone!!

    mornin'!! how's my pepper team!! i have been a beadin' freak here the last couple of days...well, over a week really. just returned from taking all my creations to the show. will post pics sometime soon.

    i did not have a good week, and well, gained 4 lbs, was at 181.4. i am not surprised as i did not not eat healthy, missed out on exercising. the water and fruit was bout all that was good. basically, i did not make * kelly * a priority this week, jewelry won out. everything that i normally do, was neglected. :frown: guys are upset cuz i didn't plan meals or keep the house picked up...i have so much work to do and will tackle it soon....... exercise was 120 min.

    it has been a lot more quieter here this week too, hope you guys are all doing ok....thinkin of ya and missin ya...

    i think our above normal temps are headed south here soon..we have had a warmer Nov than usual. tomorrow we have my inlaws Thanksgiving then later my ds's football banquet. will do my best and push the fluids. this might be a good day for a double workout! oh, and my mil appt was CN Fri. we are now going Mon.

    ittybitty ~ wow, 34 lbs gone!! congrats! you will be in the 80's in no time!

    angie ~ 4 mos preg and you have not really gained anything, that is awesome! you are still puttin up great activity #'s too! better than me! :bigsmile: 1.6 lbs could be water too... keep at it, you are doing great!

    magglett ~ no worries bout your gain, i know you can do this!! look at the success you have had thus far!:happy:

    crystal ~ woot woot girly -3.6!! that is wonderful! happy for ya. i am way behind on minutes too....all we can do it pick it up and try our best! i am thinking of changing my workout times. maybe try a morning schedule and then add a late afternoon some days. my metabolism seems a little sluggish, and well, it would help if i just take better care of myself in all aspects here :bigsmile: gotta do it!

    miss V ~ good to hear all went well with dd surgery and hope that things only get better for her! :flowerforyou: miss v, i must say, your new avatar, you're lookin kindy sexy there!! :blushing: what a jawline lady! you are so pretty! :love:

    Miss V ... I'm so glad your daughters surgery went well.

    I was just reading something about Thanksgiving and all the plans and meals and stuff and it makes me glad that I'm Canadian ... ours is over and done with so that temptation is gone for me. Good luck to all my American MFPers with that.

    I just got back from the gym ... I love it there ... such a great atmosphere and all of the staff seem great so far. I did a Zumba class ... it was way fun. Tomorrow is my first assessment and then I'll get set up to learn how to use the equipment and balance ball and stuff. It's nice to have something new to get me back on track (although the Cora's breakfast after the workout wasn't exactly the healthiest choice ... but ... yummy). The weather here is beautiful and hopefully it will be the same tomorrow ... my friend and I will do a big hike after I'm done at my assessment if all goes as planned. Happy weekend all ... talk to you soon.

    Just finished my first round of delivering mail at work and I'm taking a little break. Thought I'd jump in here and give a quick update. I had my assessment done at the gym yesterday and all in all it wasn't too bad. No real surprises ... I need to work on my upper body strength but overall I'm of average fitness ... not too shabby ... thought I was in the less then average fitness level :happy: I did get one surprise yesterday that made me love my trainer ... all my life I haven't been able to do a sit up. She told me it's because of my apple body shape ... she had me lie down with my knees up and I tried to do the sit up but it just wasn't happening ... then she handed me a 10 lb. ball to hold in my hands over my head and told me to try again. I thought she was crazy, if I can't do it with no weight in my hands how can I do it with 10 extra pounds??? Well it's all in the momentum ... my torso was too heavy compared to my arms and once I added extra weight to my arms the sit ups happened ... I was so excited I did 10 of them with ease!!!! Why didn't anyone show me this before? Autumn (my trainer) said it's because she's the best trainer in the world ... frankly ... I agree. This picture shows what I did except I had my feet on the floor.

    hey everyone! happy Monday to you all! been doing chores here....laundry up the kazooo! kinda tired today, feelin like a nap. .....am sure it is catching up with me from last weeks loss. appt midday w/mil, so no pm route. all my jewelry is boxed and put away...but i am already itching to do more....my mind is just overflowing with ideas..... banquet went good. found out that our son was leading in the state for a while with longest received yardage and he finished in the top 20 in our district for that stat.... he also rec'd all state academic honors. don't your kids just make you proud! :bigsmile: gosh, my baby is growin up :cry:

    magglett ~ how cool, i am not that great at sit-ups either, but do what i can...and am apple shape as well. so thanks for the info, i will try that! is it possible that is the reason i cannot do a push up either? :huh: how exciting for you!! you're gonna get in great shape with that trainer! :flowerforyou:

    jacque ~ so happy for dd and ** winning **! that had to be just a blast! hope all goes well at Dr. i need to schedule mine too:ohwell:

    Well, the weekend was bad a usual. :grumble: Family dinners and lack of control usually kill it for me. I just have to work harder through the week because of it. I really need to get back into an exercise routine. I think it will be the key to being about to avoid a gain next week. I can't believe we are weighing in the day after Thanksgiving!! :noway:

    Kelly, Congrats about your son!! Thanks awesome!! :drinker: I really have been thinking about a morning workout. I just don’t know what to do. Since I’ve had such a long break, I decided to just start over with C25K and DH now says he wants to do it with me. There is no way he’s getting up to go to the gym before work. We’ve talked about meeting at the gym after work, but it seems like things always get in the way. I’m going to see how this week goes and if we can’t manage to make it to the gym at least 3 nights, I’m going to switch to a morning routine and he’ll just have to be on his own. I love him but I can’t let him become an excuse not to do this.

    Jacque, sorry to hear about your DU. I hope your doctor’s appt goes well.

    Magglett, congrats on your assessment!! Well done!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    hey pepper's...

    back home now from MIL appt. she is OK!! :bigsmile: they are pretty sure it is benign and she has cancer NO WHERE!! what a relief. she has to have another CT in 3 mos and then again in 6, they are gonna watch it for 2 yrs and hope it gets smaller or does not change in size. so, tomorrow they leave for TX and AZ for the winter! geez, someone plz tell me why a pet scan is not a normal part of our preventative health measures??? if you know you have it and catch it early enuf, wouldn't that be cheaper than dealing with the actual cancer and treatment after it has spread? like have one every 5 yrs or so?? i know they must cost a ton, but wouldn't it be worth it? my FIL is seriously thinkin of lobbying for it....:huh: he was so upset about this and then having to wait the entire weekend not knowing and then finding out it was negative and nothing wrong....they both broke down and cried after the Dr left the room, so I was glad i was there for them. :cry:

    so, no more stressing here....time to get real bout ** me **.

    crystal i'm likin your new avatar pic! :smile: might start the C25K w/ya......

    well, time to get some grub here. have a nice evenin' folks!

    Kelly, glad to hear that everything is good with your MIL. That's really scarey and I agree that there should be more preventative screening done. Human lives are worth the extra cost. I'm headed to the gym after work to start back on C25K, feel free to join in. The more the merrier. DH says he actually going to meet me! :happy:

    Hi all,

    I know it's Tuesday and a little late for the weigh in. I am at 167.0 from Friday. I can also put in 42 minutes for the week last week for exercise.

    For this week, I already have 4 hours of exercise. I worked very hard volunteering building planter boxes, hauling dirt and etc. on Saturday, I was so sore at the end I had to leave and went home and straight to a nap.

    Miss V--good to hear about your daughter, yay.

    And good to hear Kelly about your MIL
