It snowed here this morning....prolly 1/2". It is absolutely freezing here...cold wind and the whole shabang.

HARLEY!!! ...I noticed you got a mention over at the nebo show. Did you see it?

Jen I love the pictures!! I esp love how your DD is looking at Mickey, it so sweet!! What an amazing adventure you've had!! I left my heart in Texas - our family is from Grayson County - north of Dallas - my brother did the same thing you did, decided he didnt want to live in IN anymore, so he and his wife up and moved to Texas, they both always wanted to live there (Houston) me? Not that brave!! DH and I talk about movin to Denver, but it just wont happen.

What a nightmare that accident must've been, and yet, you have made some AWESOME lemonade from it!! Have you ever heard of Callenetics? Calla Picney (I believe) was a dancer, had an accident broke her back, gained wait, lost strength and developed strength training slow moves, no weights, exercises - they remind me a lot of "Pilates" Your library may have a vhs tape of them!! I also was hit by a semi truck, and I was in a VW Beetle - God was with me that day! No other explanation!!

Well like others have posted here, we're all in this together, and together is better than alone!! So, dont think of the total, but the one day at a time.

Dene I think its the routine, I was doing great going every day, then when I had to go to the funeral, and then on Thursday going to Chicago... I just cant get back in that gym groove... and I'm not feeling guilty, I am so good at "rationalizing" - every pound I've gained, I can rationalize it...

QUICK - get 20 ounces of water down, 8oz with lemon juice!!!

Its' BELOW ZERO here!! brrrrr and I noticed the snow when I looked out the back window, and didnt see any footprints!! COLD FROZEN NORTH!!! ALL WEEK!!

and I comitted to doing a 1.5 mile walk on Saturday - on the lakefront of downtown Chicago - all for a free Tshirt!!! I just didnt figure in the below zero...

 

[UtahMama]

Dance- you have some nice legs! Wish mine were as smooth as yours!!! The comment on the twins was really funny!!!! This is the official WISH smilie for the twins: Imagine when we jog....LOL!


It's really nice to meet you! Ok, you're officially IN!

Kindly windy out by the lake, huh?

Botox, Microdermabrasion, Restylane anyone??

Thursday my cousin and I are treating ourselves to the WGN radio "Girlfriend convention" part of that they are offering those treatments... Botox $25 per unit, Restylane $125 off per treatment (I guess its around $500! ) and the microdermabrasion is $100.... and you can buy something called Nuderm System at 15% off (online I found a price of $275! )

Now I have another family event - wedding Memorial Day Weekend.. and I did buy the over the counter microdermabrasion kit and it has lessoned the age spots, but I still am splotchy white near my ears on the side of my face, still have dark circles under my eyes... and of course my forehead is a roadmap of deep wrinkles!!

BUT the cost???!! I keep thinking how far that would take me to WDW!!!

Good Morning, Peeps!! So far so good. I survived Church Breakfast (None for me, please I had my oatmeal at home, Thank you.) and a very busy morning in the library. Lunch was a chicken wrap and an apple. No exercise today day of rest, you know.
Welcome to Dance!!!! You and your family are so adorable. I'm new, too and everyone here is so nice.
S.Poppins-I like Christian fiction, too. Just finished When the Heart Cries by Woodsmall (for work ) It was a page turner, but it's the start of a new series and lefting me hanging!!!!
Dawn-Crack of Bob, got it!!
Later, Peeps! Off to watch Star Wars and try to avoid the Sunday Sundae.

 

[dance2874]

Thanks for all the kinds words everyone! I feel at home already.

Today has been good. So far I had my cereal this morning (3pts) and a sandwich for lunch w/a salad (7 points...I love cheese or it would have been less)I have been trying to clean my linen closet all morning and afternoon to keep myself away from the kitchen.

 

[S.Poppins]

Jen, you have a beautiful family and you are a hottie! So glad you have joined!

Stacey....I was 37 when I had DS and although I cried (not tears of joy!) through the whole pregnancy, DS is my greatest joy. The girls were nearly 7 and 11 when he was born and it is so sweet the way they love, adore, and mother him. We have all enjoyed having him in a way that we could not have if he'd been born earlier. God does have such a wonderful way of blessing our lives whether we initially realize it's a blessing or not. Sure she's older but she'll have lots of help from the whole family with this little one. Congratulations to your friend and her family!!!

Her family looked a little shell shocked at church today. But I know it will be a blessing.

I let my dog do it

Thank you Grumpy! I knew someone would be able to help me with this complex problem!

I'm watching the Today show right now and they just had on some lady who said doughnuts are not healthy...even organic doughnuts . Like we need a nutrionist to tell us this breakuing news! I guess she wouldn't have approved of my meal plan yesterday .

I'm going to try to be good this week and get back into habits I was good about when we started out here in November and December, when I did so well. I've gotten a bit lax! I have to make sure I drink more water, eat breakfast, even if I'm not hungry in the morning, and write down what I eat and the calorie count! I bought a pretty jounal to do this in. I really think that I may not have been eating enough the past couple of weeks because I've been estimating in my head rather than looking up the calorie counts and keeping close track each day.

DH just went to do the grocery shopping I'm having him buy some Kashi cereal for me. I'll try the go lean crunch with honey and almonds.

Wish me luck! 9 weeks until the world! I wanted to be another 15 down by then, but think that might be unrealistic.

Thank you for the shocking news about Donuts! Wow, so you mean I should not stop by the krispy kreme for breakfast and an afternoon snack! Darnit! What are they going to tell us next? You shouldn't supersize your McDonald's meal!! Today I bought a box of Kashi Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookies - very good - surprisingly!

I will have to try and find this book.

Okay, so my DH's is still sick and he wanted me to drive him to the Dr. We think it is his prostate - he had a terrible testicular infection about 5 years ago. (long story, with some very funny parts). But I told him I could not do that because I have small group at my house at 5 and I have not cleaned or cooked yet because I have been sick! I am a terrible nurse. Anyway I have to run and clean now. Check in with ya'll tonight. Oh, and my hip feels better today! Just pray for DH.

Jen - I feel a sista thing goin on - you do not look as big as you think and where you may hide it ...covers well. I have the lower belly curse..the one that says "your belly is lower than it should be." When and if I get to the pearly gates someones got some splainin to do.

To the peep board!

Thanks for the of Bob support....I am thinking of making shirts for everyone who comes to the 5K in Jan .

It will have :

"The PEEPS wake up to Bob" on the front and an arrow on the back pointing down...in lime green of course! : up2

Just a thought...maybe not...we can vote...

All in favor of Bob's becoming T-shirts say Yeah

All opposed....can learn not to be so opinionated beacuse they were free and they were going to be an inside joke. And they were going to be nice 90% cotton blend with real soft sleeves not the cheap scratchy ones from my MIL.

I vote yes! Bob the official plumber of the disappearing peeps ....oh Bob and Colon Blow, his partner!

 

[winkers]

Just wanted to say that the whole "Crack OF DAWN" thing brings back very personal and emotional trauma from my childhood as well as... "Dawn...takes grease out of your way!" and the ever oldie but none the the less handsome, "Dawnie and Marie Osmond." So lets now refer to that cliche as
a thing of the past and refer to it as "the crack of Bob" because Bob's crack is much larger so it has to start earlier than mine. Thank you for your consideration in this delicate matter.

So I guess you wouldn't appreciate one of my familys favorite sayings, ............the butt crack of dawn???

 

[eeyore45]

I vote yes! Bob the official plumber of the disappearing peeps ....oh Bob and Colon Blow, his partner!

Have you PEEPS not heard a word I've said????

or maybe.... hmmmm

ok... just for the uninitiated... in computer speak bob is an acroynm for "battery operated boyfriend" somehow I'd feel real funny wearin Bob helped me get here...

 

[UtahMama]

I dont get it. I get the acronym, naughties!!!! Is it Bob Greene?


I dont care what it says. If it's FREE!!!!

It can say :

" BODY curtesy of Colon Blow and Pooh Muffins " for all I care!!!


What to get a laugh over my "diet" today? (I use the word "diet" LOOSELY))


Breakfast: 3 POOH muffins, 32 oz. Cherry Fake Crystal Lite (SOOOOO good!)

snack: 1 Pooh muffin 32 oz. cherry fake crystal lite

lunch : salad from Mc Donalds (side salad) with my own spray dressing....NO CROUTONS

snack, 30 minutes later: 15 fat free BBQ Pringals BECAUSE I felt all deprived from not eating the croutons with my salad. EW!!!! FF pringals are cooked in Olestra. I'm thinking of the 4 pooh muffins and the Olestra. It's festering a toxic MUSHROOM CLOUD atom bomb explosion around bedtime tonight!!!!!!

Consider yourself warned!!!!

It'll be the equivalent to Mentos and Coke out the other end!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, and I have the belly thing going on too...not to mention my butt seems to be going 1/2 way up my back these days.


You guys are a riot!

Ok, so I am almost afraid to ask.. I have seen colon blow mentioned and have not exaclty seen it defined. But I havent finished all 300 pages of this thread yet. Someone fill me in...I thnk I want to know. Maybe I dont.

And when it the peeps meet? Next Jan sometime I assume? We are hoping to get to the world in Sept so I doubt I could convince DH we should go again, but maybe I can go it alone...if I have peeps to meet of course!

Dear lord! Now I have to ask...what is a Pooh Muffin

OMG!!! I will look for the flash of light on the western horizon!

Wendy....can you post the pooh muffin recipe as an edit to post #1? Or somewhere that we can send people who ask for it....maybe we need a peeps glossary of terms and recipes?

 

[Dizneydawn]

"ok... just for the uninitiated... in computer speak bob is an acroynm for "battery operated boyfriend" somehow I'd feel real funny wearin Bob helped me get here... "

Thanks for that...


That is so funny!

I have joined a group of legally insane women and one funky grumpy.

I simply picked Bob as a name that was short to go with crack . It could of been the crack of Jack or the crack of Richard (put in here the nickname) or the crack of Stu. It could even have been the crack of Muffy or Buffy as well for those who think I am being sexist.

Battery Operated Boyfriend did not pop into my mind on any concious level - although it is really good and it made me feel slightly horrible that I did not know it.

If I had been reffering to that ...it would have been PPP.

Thanks and oh yeah,
In our family I say..."I was up at the butt crack of me!"

P.S. Bee is on her way home...she is awesome and you all need to meet her!

LESSON ONE: FIBER IS YOUR FRIEND...

Colon Blow can be defined differently by different people. For me it is:
1 cup extra fiber all bran cereal
1 cup skim milk
2 Tablespoons flax seed meal (very good for you in many ways)
Total: 250 calories and 30 GRAMS OF FIBER (your total daily allowance in one bowl)

Drink lots of water!
