DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[pigget74]

Today has been a stressful day. DD has (croupe and bronchitus) so they gave her a steroide and some other medicine. Little man is also sick--jut finished his antibiotic two days ago and already sick again. Got back to class and it has not been good. I had to write 3 referrals to the office and that is not a good thing. All year I think I have only written 3 until today. Then I had to call a parent --at least she was nice to me-had one one time cuss me out over the phone--not fun. My class has not been fun today--they are all mad at me because I enforce the dress code and other things. Now I just want to go home a curl up on the couch with a good book. Can't do that because I had 2 teachers call in sick tonight for class at church. Oh, man--pray I do not attack the desserts tonight at church. I know that there are bigger problems here, but I needed to vent for a minute.

Lynda I love that story!!

oh forgot to add........

You are My Sunshine special here too, my grandpa used to sing it to us!! and when I went to camp and had to get a camp name, I became "Sunshine" mostly because I'm notorious for being an early riser, but I love the association to the song!! and Grandpa of course!! I think they have it on the Oh Brother Where art Thou soundtrack!!

Thank you so much for all the love and , and support! I went and spent a few hours at the hospital. She is on a ventilator so they are keeping her pretty drugged us so she can sleep. I took a book with me and planned to be there all day and then I got a call from ds Ethan's school that he had a fever. So I picked him up and then my van drove itself to burger king, I ended up eating a whopper and a dr pepper. I gave my little sick-o my fries.

EVERONE....I will just randomly keep adding you all to my network since no one can reach me in Private-land. If you get a message from me...please add me. I'm wearing Jean Nate so I smell better now.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!![/QUOTE] you can count on me! esp with the Jean Nate

I still need to catch up. But I'm in a smidge of a panic. I got on the scale as I occasionally do, and it said +3 By now I know not to panic, because that's what I'd tell you guys if it happened to one of you. But still! I really need to be more mindfull of everything I do!!! I'm just being lazy not writing everything down and drinking more soda and not exercising etc ETC. This is a familiar pattern for me. I hope it's just water retention because my chest is tender and I am bloated.

My weight DOES fluxuate several pounds, so I'm not going to worry. I just need to be wayyyy more diligent! It's NOT ever easy, In fact it's aLOT easier to just eat however I want and sit on my bum.

I can DO this!!!

so i guess it was bad for me to bring you your nectar and then visit for an hour love ya

DisneyJo: WooHoo!!!! More dissers! Our plans aren't 100% yet, but here is something very sad:

My children's school is converting to year round next year. We were allowed to make our track preferences, and I based mine on the possibility of free dining and Disney's value seasons. Is that sad? My first choice has them out last two weeks in Aug and first week in Sept. Second choice they will be out the last three weeks in Sept. We will know by mid March....just in time in case free dining is offered!

now that is funny we are on year round too and just got our track sign up i guess i should look at it the same way so that we can travel to WDW with utahmama's family .....i never thought of that thanks for the head's up

I need extra peeps power today! I'm off to the hospital to spend some time with my grandma who is not expected to live more than a couple of days. She was taken in for emergency surgery last night where they discovered a football size tumor in her intestines. They had no idea she had cancer and they think it has spread alot. She's been ill for a couple of years now and has alot of problems, so I thought I was ready for her to go, but now that it's here, I'm a mess. She raised me for 7 years after my mom died when I was a baby and before my dad remarried when I was 8, so she's more like a mom to me. I need will power to not eat to comfort myself, my siblings are most likely coming up fromm Utah this weekend, so I guess I can spend my time cleaning my house instead of eating.................ok, now I'm rambling. It's easier to sit here at the computer than go up to the hospital and face the truth. Oh, I really want a hot fudge sundae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many and prayers coming your way

Disney Jo and Eeyore: I say "Bum" too. In Utah, butt is a bad word. We're not allowed to cuss here. Butt, I still do sometimes (see? I feel naughty writing butt!).

We creatively make up new cuss words, especially on Sunday .
"Fetch" is the biggie, but doesn't have the same impact as the real "F-Bomb" for some reason!
what about flippin that is almost as popular here too but i agree not as afective as the real word..oh but (not the other one) that is so true my fav is son of a fisherman.. that is one of mine....

Hello to all i just wanted to pop in and say HI but i have a house to clean,,
Utahmama Candles burning now Clean Breeze downstairs (gotta change litter box) whooooo stinky
upstairs Sunkissed Citrus It rockss smellls so gooooooddddddd....
Love to all have a good day..

Just thought I'd tell you how behind we are compared to you, Desperate Housewifes is just coming on and Mike is just waking up from his coma and in Lost Kate and Sawyer are still in their cages!!!!!!

I've been good tonight only had 1 square of chocolate!

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

to everyone who needs them! I'm sorry I don't name you all but I was reading so fast I lots track, but I'm thinking of all of you. (I guess this old brain needs to take notes. ) Having a good day except on water and now that I've caught up, I'm off to drink some.
By the way, the word of choice in our house is frak!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Eeyore - can you PM me the directions for the warm water lemon juice concoction? Also, tell me how long it takes for it to "kick" in?
Also, did you get my invite into "privateland"?

 

[eeyore45]

Eeyore - can you PM me the directions for the warm water lemon juice concoction? Also, tell me how long it takes for it to "kick" in?
Also, did you get my invite into "privateland"?

I just take a coffee mug fill it with warm tap water (not too hot, not sure why it works so well warm, but after a few years and WW message boards, and the Michael Thurmond message boards, everyone posted its success, than on the NBC morning show, they did too - they said drink it down, pat your liver and say "here you go liver, this is just for you!!"

So 8oz warm water + 2Tbl of lemon juice (fresh is best, but the bottled stuff works) I then drink 8 oz of V8 as I hate veggies, and need this kick.. then I fill my water bottle, and I have to go within the hour!! and I keep goin...and goin... It really depends on how much sodium you have/are retaining...

I didnt see the invite, off to check my PM's!!!

I also put up a quick page btw, but I was wondering about the blogs and recipes??? I told a coworker about the ooh: muffins, and she wanted in - she said to use the whole wheat pasta, you cook it and cant tell the difference, it pulls the WW points down using whole wheat pasta!

 

[eeyore45]

Just checked my profile, and only Lexmelinda is my friend!!

I guess I really need to figure this stuff out!!

Also, I hope I dont sound too harsh, or... judgemental... I'm trying to be supportive, and by posting my support to not submit blindly into the cookieland, I am boosting my own courage... Tomorrow my cousin and i are getting together for the WGNRadio convention!! That's 5 meals out - + a couple more in a restaurant.. I'm also bringing a bottle of champagne!!

I do (ok we!!) plan on exercising at the hotel gym... and doing a Morning WALK - out towards Lake Michigan - right now the weather report is for BELOW FREEZING!!! I hate below freezing!!!

Anyway, I just want to make sure i havent offended any peeps, its not my intention...

Thanks DJo for the tips on the profile updating...I will try again.

FIDGE Check in please!!!

I also want to stop a moment and say to all the peeps I havent quoted -

I tried joining a "popular" thread on the Community Board, and always felt invisible, it was more from "my" mind than reality - they were warm and inviting, just ask UtahwendyMama - she was on that thread!!

Yet, my insecurities always crept in, so I just hope any reader, joiner, loner here steps up and posts, just start talking, blog, confess,

You Matter!!!

I just love you Eeyore - you are so precious!

Question????
How many of you are coffee drinkers and how much do you drink a day, how do you like it (Cream, Splenda, ff creamer, sugar...)decaf, real???

I am a decaffenated coffee drinker and like it with a tablespoon of FF Hazelnut creamer and 1 Splenda. I drink 2 LARGE cups (12oz each) a day. Could this be inhibiting my weight loss??

Thanks for your opinions and answers!!!

I LOVES ME SOME COFFEE! I drink a cup every morning with Splenda and Sugar Free Vanilla Creamer (Wal-Mart brand is cheap and good).

For a special treat, I get a Grande Non-Fat Chai Tea from Starbucks. They use skim milk so it is only like 1 or 2 pts. And it is sooooo yummy!

I still need to catch up. But I'm in a smidge of a panic. I got on the scale as I occasionally do, and it said +3 By now I know not to panic, because that's what I'd tell you guys if it happened to one of you. But still!

I can DO this!!!

Drink lots and lots of water and do a fiber flush!!! You still have 2 days until the one and only OFFICIAL weigh in!

I need extra peeps power today! I'm off to the hospital to spend some time with my grandma who is not expected to live more than a couple of days.

lots of love and prayers for you!!!

OK ladies, I have a story to tell you...

There is a princess who works in an office that is located in a mall that is practically desserted - just a few stores left. Most of the stores involve food, so the princess stays in her office so that she is not tempted by said tasty treats. One of the stores has three sections - a kids' toys section, an art supply/home decor section, and a fancy foods section. The fancy foods section includes some healthy items, but also has LARGE, DELICIOUS, cookies! The princess hasn't set foot in that store for months! The princess's boss, however, often gets lunch from this store and decided one day (a day very much like today ) to get cookies for all of her staff. The EVIL boss (not really evil at all, but maybe possessed for a moment) selected sugar cookies with dried cherries in them and placed one with a napkin on each of her employee's desks, including the princess's. Now, the princess didn't know what to do. She was watching what she ate, so she wasn't sure if she should eat the cookie, but it was a gift from her boss...neatly placed on her desk upon a paper napkin. And she had tried the same cookie before, months ago (also thanks to her boss), and it was good. The princess turned to the internet and looked up calorie counts for similar cookies, and decided to eat the cookie and make up for it at dinner time!

That is a lovely story...glad you, I mean she enjoyed the cookie!

Today has been a stressful day. DD has (croupe and bronchitus) so they gave her a steroide and some other medicine. Little man is also sick--jut finished his antibiotic two days ago and already sick again. Got back to class and it has not been good. I had to write 3 referrals to the office and that is not a good thing. All year I think I have only written 3 until today.

I know that there are bigger problems here, but I needed to vent for a minute.

and prayers and hugs for you too! Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon!

So I was talking to my boss today about our trip to Gasparilla this last weekend. If you don't know about it, the pirates invade Tampa and for some reason they bring lots of beads to throw from floats in a parade...not sure how that works into it, but it's fun!

Anyways, he asked me if I got a lot of beads. I said, not, but my girls did. He looked at me, cracked up laughing , and said "well it usually is the "girls" that get the beads."

I just shook my head and rolled my eyes and said "I meant my daughter and her friend". What a goober!

Sounds like Mardi Gras in Tampa. Sounds like fun. I hope you didn't use your "girls" to get you some beads.

What does McDonalds put in their food that makes you crave it??? I had it yesterday and of course I was itching for it all day today again. Sort of like, once I had it I HAD to have more. Ugh...guess what I had today? I am now trying to add up the damage for the day. I am pretty sure I used the balance of my flex points today, which is ok that is why they are there and I weigh Sat AM...I can make it 2 more days without them. I will!! I have to!

Paryers and hugs to everyone who needed them today. I was reading but not taking notes of names. I am thinking of you all though.

 

[sorul82?]

Can someone give my the 411 on the cake made with diet coke?

 

[UtahMama]

1 Box cake mix- any flavor
1 can of diet soda.....NOTHING else (no eggs, oil, etc.!)

Some of the suggested flavors are:

Chocolate cake with diet cherrie Pepsi (I did that one, very yummy!)
lemon cake with diet sprite or diet 7-up
Spice cake with diet Dr. Pepper
Devil's food with diet Pepsi
Strawberry cake with diet Sprite


Bake according to pkg. directions. The calories and fat (etc) are the dry mix on the box. Not the prepared cake. GOOD STUFF!

The cake I made had 12 servings at 150 calories per serving which is 3 points if you're doing WW. I wonder if you added some fiber if it'd lower the points?

Today has been a stressful day.
