Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's ~ Week 13

HI all

Looks like I am the lone gainer this week....+ 2. to 187.4......gosh if I don't get serious I will be right where I was a year ago.....just kinda confused here these past few days and feeling a bit down. no appetite really, but so far has been clean today. I have a meet tomorrow, so will be gone all day again. Will pack later all my gear to be sure I am ready to walk it out...

magglett ~ congrats on your loss! happy for ya!

Crystal ~ 3 down, FIFTY-ONE point EIGHT GONE! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW! I am so proud of you girly! So, tell us about your new outfit! We wanna celebrate with you!! You are in control now, nothing gonna stop ya!

Sindy ~ Well, you are not gaining at least. Sometimes we will plateau for a while...plus you have been sick. Are you eating the same amount of calories? What about changing up your exercise routine....diff time, diff activity? Try to look closely at what you are doing and see if you need to change something up a bit. Hang in there....I still feel with what you have lost so far and your consistent exercise, that your ol' Dr won't put you on meds. You have done so well, and I know you will do more!! Stay positive!!

Jacque ~ I'll take them " 0's "! take care this weekend, get better hon!

ittybitty ~ YAY, down 3! good for you! keep on keepin, you'll be to goal in no time!

Miss V ~ 5 lbs gone, woot woot! nice job there sweets! take care of that tummy thing....

well, gotta keep pluggin away here. laundry calling. have a nice Friday gang....just a little focus is all we need and we can do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!!

Yay Crystal!! 50 + lbs gone baby!! Look at you go girl! So very proud!! :flowerforyou:

hey team~

been busy here....went to a wake yesterday of a mom of some kids that used to ride my bus. 3 kids, 14, 17 and 20. mom had breast cancer about 5 yrs ago. thought she had ovarian cancer in Sept, so did hysterectomy and learned it was not there, but spread everywhrere else..... very sad. she was 44, a year older than me.

went to the city today to shop, almost done...went to 8 stores and then had a hair cut...and this was all after a 2 hr 'ice' delay!

but, i had some high fat foods eats, way too much, and now i don't know what is going on....i have about a 12 yr history of anxiety / panic attacks....and since about 4:30 pm or so i have had heart palp, L chest/arm discomfort, choking feeling/lump in my throat, slight nausea, lightheaded, tingling in L neck, jaw and face. NOW, i have had all of these symptoms in the past and 3 ER visits, and nothing is ever wrong with my heart. and back then I did have high cholesterol/trigs, and higher blood pressure. i am on chol meds now, and last checked 6 mos ago, everything was normal. anyway, i took 2 baby aspirin, and i already take one a day and a fish oil per my cardiologist b/c of bio mom having a 'bruie'/stent ( sp?). now in the last few minutes my L arm feels heavy and almost kinda numb....o what to do....

my panic feelings usually come at this time of year, holiday stress, and driving, weather.... it could be nothing. and i have not exercised since LAST WEEK! but tomorrow I am going to call my dr and hope to get in. i just hate it when this happens. may have to go back on my Xanax 1/2 tab. geez, i have not had to take them in like 3 yrs. why is this happening?? oh, and i took my b/p and it was 138/84 which is high for me, usually 118/72. i wonder if your b/p goes up really high if you are having a heart attack? my past panic episodes usually occured b/c i was scaring myself, health wise, fear of dying of stroke, ha....lots of anxiety. i will take some more baby aspirin, a fish oil and my chol med b4 bed....hope to sleep decent.....

well, sorry to post all that, and i hope i didn't scare anyone.....just trying to see if this will help me any.

tomorrow i have bus trip....so i better be ok! that would be horrible to have a problem on the bus with kids! :frown:

anyway, just wanted to check in and wish you guys all a good week! let's try really hard and go for a loss Friday! and if not, then just keep toning that body into a smaller you!

Barb ~ enjoy the peace and quiet this week!

Jacque ~ nice pic of you and tree! congrats on dd's win!

Crystal ~yippy shopping done! the tied fleece blankets and quilted ornaments sound so neat! very talented you! woot woot smaller clothes!

Miss V, aka dog sitter....I dread watching my parents dog as well...she has this screaming fit that sounds like a hyenna that drives me nuts. my parents think it is cute...NOT. i almost have her broke from doing it here...she knows i am boss! probably not a fun visit here for her since i keep her in my kitchen/dining on lanoleum...don't trust her yet. uh huh., them crazy drivers...need to slow their A$$e$ down! i am more worried bout the 'other' driver than i am myself! and i feel more comfortable in my bus than my own car. drive it so much and it is 6 tons! :bigsmile:

nite all!
