Unfortunately, my cough hasn't gotten any better even with all the meds I have been on for the past month. Went back to the doctor this afternoon and SUPRISE!! I have pneamonia.

:hug: Take care of yourself and maybe you won't have to go in the hospital. You are right to leave the exercising and just care for you right now. Hope you feel better soon.

Hey Purple! You know what? When they said they decided to go pick him up tomorrow (told me that yesterday), I asked if they KNOW if he is safe. The worker said she does not know if he is safe! And they are having to show up as a surprise at the relative placement they have him in for fear of them running with him or planning something crazy. They don't have a good phone number for them because the relative gave them a fake one.

So....what happened? Don't leave me hanging here. Did you get him? Poor little baby.

Just a quick hello right now off to work I should already be gone....lol I will catch up tomorrow after work heading to a friends house for her Birthday supper. Have a great day.

Hiya peeps:D

I am having another good week, exercising everyday eating right.I hope to lose another pound this week.

How is everyone else doing?

shan84 05-07-2010 10:29 PM

Hi everyone. Good news, no hospital time!! My chest xray today showed a little improvement so now just meds, rest, and back to work on Monday. They said I could work but that I need to wear a mask and take breaks during the day. Haha. Obviously they don't know the schedule a teacher has to keep here in SK. Anyways, being sick is doing wonders for my weight. Haha. Down over 5lbs this week. TOM starts next week so it will kick my metabolism up a notch and maybe I'll be able to hold onto the loss of this week. I'm not officially keeping track of my weigh ins for the month of May so that I have a solid starting number for the summer challenge.

Hope everyone is doing well. Please make sure you are signed up for the challenge and update your starting weight if you want to before May 18th. I will be closing the thread then so we can get teams put together and have a getting to know you week before the challenge officially starts on May 31st.

Hiya Purple peeps!

Shan - So glad to hear you're starting to feel better!

Soon2Be - Hope you have that little boy in your arms already. Sounds like a terrible situation for him, so I really hope they've given him to you already...

Well, I've been lurking, but still hanging around since the end of the Spring challenge. I was a bit disappointed in not making it to my challenge goal, but it's just kicked me into high gear. I'm hoping to make my Spring goal by the time the Summer challenge officially begins. :) Been staying very OP, and just got home from another walk/jog. I've put in over 16 miles since Sunday, so doing well there.

We've had a day or two over 90 this week. This warming trend prompted me to do a little athletic wear shopping this week and I ended up going completely out of my comfort zone and bought some shorts and tanks. I wore one of my new outfits today and felt very naked. DH assured me that I looked good, but I was still very self-conscious about it... on the positive side, I was also very conscious to keep my tummy sucked in. ;) Thats supposed to be good for you, right? :)

Hope you all have a good Mother's Day this weekend! We have no big plans; just going to IronMan2 (okay, thats really for DH) and then having lunch at Outback on Sunday. Looking forward to just relaxing a bit.

CanadaMel 05-08-2010 11:13 AM

Shan- glad your lungs are improving. Be sure to take care of you!

Mercy- keep up the good work. Consistency is key

Tinabinab- yay on new workout clothes! I was so conscious the first time I ran in shorts-still don't like it, but I'm getting used to it!

Soon2bfitchick- hopefully you're busy running caring for your new little one & all is going well- give us an update when you can.

Had the day off yesterday. After a long walk with the dog I puttered about the house. Now I'm paying the price as the house is a disaster zone and we have friends visiting this afternoon. Off to unearth the vacuum!

Have a wonderful weekend & happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Bigmid 05-08-2010 12:07 PM

Morning I did my weigh in today as going out with the girls for lunch, movie, and appitizers today so thought it best not to get on the scale tomorrow. I have not been exercising as much this week and I have up'd my calories this week as well and I am down 2lbs. I hope this keeps up as I am hoping to take holidays the first week of June and want to be under 185lbs. Hit 188.6 this morning this puts me at 50lbs lost so far. Yeah!!!!!!!!

dayoneagain - WTG on the treadmill that's awesome

Soon2BeFitChick - Did you get you baby boy yet? Congratulations on the loss you saw this week. How did your son do in the science fair?

Shan84 - I'm glad your x-rays are showing an improvement. Get better soon!!

CanadaMel - The sun is shining.....woohoo

tinabinab - I'm sure you look great in your workout wear, you just need to get used to it and then you'll love it.

ars, Catsgetinhealthy, Mercy03, Purplefirefly :wave:

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.

Cape Breton Chick 05-08-2010 07:45 PM

Hi everyone... I am very sad to say that due to personal reasons I am stepping down as blue team leader at this time... any of my previous blue ladies here will remember that my boyfriend has been battling cancer for 8 years. He has fought so admirably and had more strength through it all then anyone i have ever know, yet with a heavy heart what i am trying to say is that he lost the war, very quietly and peacefully on Wednesday afternoon he past away. He was a young man in his thirties and then strongest man I have ever known.
I feel that I am not able to take on the responsibility of leading a team right now and be fully present in doing so. I want to stay a part of my blue team but I just can not take on the responsibility right now.
I want to thank all of you for being my friends and being here when i needed somewhere to go.
In saying that, I would also like to add that we are obviously looking for someone to take on the challenge of leading the blue team through the summer challenge. If any of you are interested please contact me and shan. :)

Angela- You know my thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you daily. Love you girl.

Ladies, I hope you all have a good weekend. I hit a huge milestone for myself this weekend, even with being sick at home. I have hit my 100lbs lost! I'm going to take pictures later this week when I feel 100% better and post an official mini goal reached post on the 3fc thread.

Catsgetnhealthy 05-08-2010 08:22 PM

(((( Angela )))) I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love and light your way. :hug:

Congrats Shan & Bigmid on your fantastic losses!!!

Been doing decent on staying OP and working out. I hope to see a loss this week. :crossed:

Have a wonderful Mother's Day ladies.

Mercy03 05-08-2010 09:06 PM

Thank you,I am finally figuring that out,the consistency part, that is.:D

Soon2BFitChick 05-08-2010 09:44 PM

We got him! And we have a great chance of keeping him. The goal is 'unrelated adoption', not family reunification, which is great news for us. I couldn't be happier! Yay!! We named him Wyatt. Dunno middle yet. He is so sweet. Soft head of short brown hair that curls in the crown. Dark eyes, two bottom front teeth, chubby and happy, rolling over. Laughs when you laugh with him. Soooo cute! You all would love him too! :bb:

So sorry to have kept you all hanging! But we had a game one hour after we got him yesterday, my son's game. Then my daughter had a game at 11:30am today so I got up and bathed myself and bathed all 4 of them and dressed the babies and loaded the diaper bag for 2 babies now. LOL. Was crazy. Forgot some stuff but it was fine. We made it ok!

Well, I lost a little more. I'm 195.5 now! Woohoo!!! :dance: I hope to lose maybe one more before posting starting weight. We'll see.

OMG I'm am soooooooo sorry Angela. Bless his heart and yours. I sure hate to hear that. Please come and talk to us or feel free to PM. We will miss you leading our blue team. :( Hugs to you. :hug:

I better run, you all take care, will come bk when I can, Selina :hug:
