We have not had an "Off Week" for several months now, so I just want you to know that the Pasture is still open for business. Please continue to come to the Pasture during the "Off Week" for your daily encouragement, support and praise. Please continue to weigh-in on your normal weigh-in day. This weigh-in will be your start weight for the next challenge.
There will still be Blue Ribbons and stats for the week.
Hope to continue to see your shining faces in the Pasture this week!

Happy Saturday, Bulls!! We had such a good time at the Campfire Stories last night. I didn't know what would be told, but it was legends, such as how the turkey vulture got its red, bald head and how the bear lost its tail! It cooled down to just the perfect temp for a campfire for roasting marshmallows and the lightning waited until we were done!
Shirley - thank you! It did! I have a long list of questions for Tuesday but that's ok. She is expecting that!
Today is going to the Great Lakes Fiber Festival - walking around in the sun all day looking at fiber critters and maybe buying some yummy yarns!!
Have a great day everyone!!

I'm back. Surgery went well. Came home Thurs. afternoon, but spent most of the day and all night sleeping. I've been up most of today, but getting ready for bed. I'm still in some pain.
Will still be on a soft food diet for 2 more weeks.

Aside from the crappy weigh in, today has been productive. I got a DJ for our Relay For Life event, so that's awesome. Got my grocery shopping done and put away. Next I'm going to clean the cat boxes (my favorite job) and wash the sheets.
1. Do you text? A little. 2. Do you like squash? Yes 3. Do you carry a cell phone? Yes. 4. Can you touch your nose w/ your tongue? No. 5. Do you like crafts? I love crafty stuff - scrapbooking, jewelry making, I even sew and knit a little, but I'm not really good at any of it. 6. What is your favorite form of exercise? Zumba, walking, yoga. 7. Do you have a pet peeve? dishonesty, whining, girls who wear ridiculously short shorts, boys with their pants below their butts and flat-brimmed hats...I may have too many pet peeves. 8. Do you play the lottery? No. 9. Are you scared of storms? not thunderstorms, no 10. Is the outside of your fridge littered w/ magnets? Yes.
Its been a busy week and allergies have got the best of me, along with that nasty cold and strep throat going around.
I still manage to get some exercise in this week and work outside. But not enough to balance my calorie ins vs calories outs to get a loss for the week.
WD LW: 233 CW: 233
At least it is a maintain. Next week I'm switching up my workout and some of my eating. Maybe that will shake this into gear again.
Hope everyone has a enjoyable Memorial weekend, please be safe in your travels.

1. Hoof it Bulls! If you have the option to walk, bike, run, skip or hop--do it! Be conscience of your body and how much activity you are doing. Did a quicker 2 mile WATP and looking forward to switching to 3 miles tomorrow!!!
2. Strengthen Up! Yep, upper body, Bulls! Pick 4 upper body exercises and share w/ the team what you did. Just did the bits in the WATP
3. Liquid calories--try to avoid them today. Chew your calories! No juice (choose fruit or veggies rather than juice), no soda or caloric drinks today. I gave up calories in drinks about 20 years ago except for skim milk and the occasional alcholic drink. In University I used to love beer and refused to have it in the house also for 20 years as I wanted to limit myself. Now I can have beer in the house and don't feel tempted because I really don't want to drink my calories.
4. Getting to know you emoticon
1. Do you text? Yes 2. Do you like squash? The veg not the drink 3. Do you carry a cell phone? yes 4. Can you touch your nose w/ your tongue? YES!! 5. Do you like crafts? Knitting 6. What is your favorite form of exercise? WATP, swimming 7. Do you have a pet peeve? overbearing nurses 8. Do you play the lottery? sometimes 9. Are you scared of storms? NO! When the kids were very little we would pop popcorn and watch really bad storms oohing and awing so the kids wouldn't be afraid. 10. Is the outside of your fridge littered w/ magnets? NO. Hate cluttered fridges. Now I could just convince hubby. LOL

1 football field=120 yards from the back of one end zone to the back of the other.
1 M&M = 1 football field 1 Peanut M&M = 2 football fields 1 potato chip = 2 football fields 1 chocolate chip cookie (depending on size) = 8-15 football fields 1 milkshake = 100 football fields 12oz Bud Light or Miller Lite Beer = 18 football fields Regular Non-Light Beer = 36 football fields Pizza = 50 football fields Snickers Bar = 50 football fields Big Mac, Fries and Shake = 240 football fields which is equivalent to walking 5 hours straight

It's crazy at my house right now. Since last Saturday, we have a new puppy, 2 orphaned lambs (now 5 days old) and tonight one chick hatched--plus 3 kids and a husband. It is just NUTS! LOL
I have been reading your posts and promise tomorrow after I get some sleep I will catch up w/ you. The lambs eat every 5 hours, pup goes outside about every 4--LONG NIGHTS w/ little sleep.
Be happy and healthy Bulls!

THURSDAY CHALLENGES
1. MooOve it, Bulls! Shoot for 30 minutes of cardio today. So far 50 minutes today
Hey all. Just signed up for the next challenge. I'm glad they're doing a week off. I've done exactly what I need to stop doing - I lose a chunk of weight with my anxiety attacks, and then I start feeling better, then I start staying up later, not getting enough sleep, eating like crap and not exercizing. Maybe if I kept the good habits I'd stop having the attacks, huh? So I know I'll have another gain tomorrow, which I hate, since it's the last week of the challenge. So, I start again! I've been running all over with my kids today, and it's pretty freaking hot right now. And it will only get hotter. Welcome summer!
Behind on everything today, but hope to get up to the exercise room soon. Planning a shrimp curry for dinner tonight. Main goal, stay calm, exercise, shower, eat healthy.

Happy Thursday Bulls!!
No walking last night. Still dealing with aftermath from the fire so getting into the apartment complex is frustrating.
I came across a story today that just hit my nerves....
Tonight is a 2-mile guided hike on an easy path. Yay!!!
Make it a great day!!

A really stressful day at the hospital. Too tired to do anything. Luckily I had made a healthy Spark recipe yesterday, so we had leftovers tonight for dinner. It was the Chicken Stroganoff and I would recommend it.

Missy- ty for the Spark goodie.....I am feeling a bit better but last night my starter in the car was acting up. I won't drive it to work (are you kidding it's about 30 miles from where I live) so was scrambling to find rides to and from. I was just glad there was NO chocolate in the house! lol

Happy Wednesday Bulls!! I am sleeeeeepy after staying up a bit late last night. The fluid I was retaining appears to be gone (as my outer thigh muscles were burning last night on my ride I was telling myself that would be the result - yay!!) and I'm not a bit sore!! Today's plan is to walk to Stitch n Bitch. We'll see how I feel after work.
Make it a great day!!

Well, my little heifers, it is nearly 3 am. here in Indy and I will be leaving for the hospital in 3 1/2 hrs. Still have to take my anti-bacterial shower, yet. So I will be MIA for a couple of days. The surgery is supposed to be outpatient and I should only be there for 23 hrs. However, the surgeon did say there was still the possibility that she would have to "revise" my WLS. So I could be in the hospital for as long as 3 days. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Say a little prayer for me. The actual surgery will be at 10 a.m.
Everyone encourage each other, make healthy choices and keep your body moving. You are all doing a great job!

WOW - turns out the community/office building of my apartment complex went up in flames about 6 this morning!! No one was hurt, and the Fire Department had it out within 30 minutes but I had no idea. And I am only 100 yards away. Scary since we live in such a wooded area.
I did 4.27 miles in 38 minutes on my bike after work. I'm gobsmacked!!! I did have to get off and walk 4 times, which was just fine. I lasted longer than I thought is some sections by just repeating "I got this. I can do this. You're doing just fine, girl!!" And one of the spots? was even better when I saw a couple "pros" getting off and walking too. A couple of those hills were STEEP!!!
Right now I'm enjoying a mango-pineapple smoothie made with greek yogurt with honey and flax seeds. I had already cut the recipe in half and it needs some tweaking but it's pretty tasty, otherwise!!
