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

[pigget74]

No, of course not! What I meant was, you look great in your pics too! But even better in person - just a cutie all around!
Do you ever sleep? I mean didn't you get up at the butt crack of dawn this morning!

I was just picking. Yes, I have been up for about 20 hours. I took a little nap on the couch, which I knew would haunt me and so now I can't sleep. I will be able to sleep in tomorrow until Joshua wakes up. I have to be out the door by 8:50 to go running with some friends at 9:00. I am going to play spider solitaire and then maybe calling it a night. I have bouts with not sleeping. It does not matter when I wake up--I am typically up for the night. Fun for me, but not for my family.


UM
I agree with what everyone else has said--most likely nothing wrong--but you should get it checked. I had this problem before, but I can thank my youngest for that problem . Let us know what the Dr. says.

Still not "movement". Metamucil and coffee is not working! I do not want to take a Correctol, that hurts. Any other ideas.

Try drinking some OJ. I dont know why but it works for me every time. It's worth a shot! I have issues even when I am not eating a ton of fiber, so it is no fun around here either lately.

I am sure nobody else is still up, but I just got home from my scrapbooking night and I was pretty good...I did have some chips and salsa. Hope the sodium doesnt make me puffy for my WW weigh in tomorrow morning On a positive note, I got about 10 pages done. Too bad I am still scrapbooking 2005

 

[harleygirl]

dene - girl you rock!!! thanx for giving us insight on hwat you are doing. I am proud of you for being so strong and so smart about this!!!

somebody inquired about the books - a few weeks ago we decided to start a round of scrapbooks with healthy recipes in them and we mail them to each other and do a page with a recipe and mail it on to the next person. So by the time we get done we will have everyones "siggie" in our book...


dance I am doing 2003 in my books dont feel bad

 

[pixie dust 112]

The addie I got is going to Kingston NY. I just assumed it was aries since she sent me the address. Wasn't thinking too bright there. It could be anyone. I have no idea who I am sending it to.

I am waiting for a book as well.

Yippie! It's coming to me! Aries was in charge of the address list and the mailing order so she sent out all of the addresses! I'm so excited! I can't wait for Monday!!!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

UM: Do you have an urgent care center you can go to? Lower back pain and blood in your releases, I'd have to get that checked asap.

denecarter: way to go on 8 pounds! double Wowers you rock!!!!!!


Poppins: Great news!

Lexy: I once woke up to a normal cold day. Bus never came. Drove the kids to school to find out they canceled because they thought we were getting an ice storm. Huh?

Pixie: problem solved! FYI, I did mine in one night because I totally forgot to do it and I didn't want to mess up the group. Don't laugh!

Thanks everyone. I mean it. Thanks for all the special wishes.

Congrats to the losers! Keep on everyone!

Don't worry about it. I did mine in one night too! I could not for the life of me figure out what I wanted to do! And I didn't out in my recipes cause I figure the book will eventually get back to me and I'll put mine in then! When I get your book I'll figure out mu layout for the recipes! I do have the recipes chosen, at least!

You're up to 2005 already!!!! You rock!!!! I'm still in the 1990s!

HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!

Saturday is always a quiet day for the peeps...not much posting going on. Hope you all have something fun to do today. I think I'm going to paint the hallway here at home....tired of red....going with "Classic Cream". I need some light and happiness. Paint 'em or climb 'em.

RE: recipe book. I am NOT creative. In fact I am creatively challenged...not one single original idea in my empty little head. I do not scrapbook and would rather put a sharp stick in my eye than go to one of those paint your own pottery places. You get the picture. Anyway I do have a great appreciation for the creative talent of others and would love to SEE the recipe book when it is all said and done??? Can I? Please???

Shannon.....Thanks for the nice report on and party!!! Sounds like fun!! You are the best aunt in the world!!!

I have a quick praise report! My DH is on his way home from AL where he went and picked up my new car! This is a huge blessing.

Awesome, Stacey! A blessing indeed. I drove my last car for 11 years and started praying about how we could afford a new one and were blessed with one that we could write a check for with an unexpected commisssion DH received. A blessing indeed. And doesn't the CD player make you a much cooler mom?? That was the selling point for my girls! I will pm you about myspace....mine is not pimped....just a shell basically so I can lurk around there.

She is currrently holed up in her room playing with her fake dog ....maybe she'll quit asking for a real one now...

Don't count on it! It may not even be the only "fake" dog she'll ask for. My DD13 bugged the carp out of me til we bought the DS dog and then she decided she like the Gameboy SP dog better. Now we are on Webkinz which cuts into MY computer time! And she never stops asking for another REAL animal.

I've eaten so much fiber, I 'm having BLOOD in my B.M's! Is that normal???

Get it checked out, Wendy!

I have been gone for a few days so there is no way I am going to "talk" to everyone that I want to talk to.

Missed you, Amy!

So backto the super bowl parties - I am making those skinny jalepeno poppers to take, gonna try to make them tomorrow...luvs me some poppers!!!

Let me know how they are. I love poppers too. (almost typed poopers...not the same thing.)

I FEEL better than I have in YEARS. I don't feel like I'm deprived at all... I love the food I'm eating (years of Food Network helps). I sleep great... no more backaches. Clothes are fitting better (my earrings even fit differently). And I'm enjoying the physical and social aspects of the YMCA... meeting up with lots of old friends, making new friends (and yes, crushing on the trainer).

I love your "book" Dene and I'm so proud of you for doing this the right way! You are an inspiration to us all!!

HAPPY TO REPORT I WALKED 4 DAYS THIS WEEK! HOPING FOR 5 NEXT WEEK!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY!

 

[eeyore45]

Good Saturday Morning...

Its going to be a bright and brisk NEGATIVE 7 degrees F - the walk to the Lake Michigan) is ON!!

Brrr baby!! Brrr........

Last night, well, I sacrificed myself for my peeps, yes I did.. you see they had this Eli's cheesecake... and it had fudge, caramel, and pecans... oh yes, I had to eat every bite... one bite for me, one bite for me... the peeps wouldnt mind, I'll take one bite for them too... next thing I knew, it was gone, and yes, I enjoyed every bite...

So I'm up and off to work some of it off!!

Take care!!

Thanks for making that sacrifice on our behalf, Sandy! But a walk in -7 degree weather with a brisk wind blowing in your face outta burn off about everything you ate this weekend!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

I use the 8x8/9x9 (can't remember what size it is) pan for my brownies, small meatloaf, coffee cake. The pizza stone makes delicious pizza! My sister also bakes her cookies on the pizza stone. I've not tried it, but her cookies are always delicious!!!

I bake cookies and crescent rolls on the Pizza Stone. You can bake anything that you would normally use a cookie sheet for!

Thanks guys some nice healthy recipes there!

I love Pampered Chef!!! I have a lot of their gadgets and cook books. I quit buying cookbooks though because you can google "pampered chef recipes" and get a ton of them!

I'll try that!

HAPPY TO REPORT I WALKED 4 DAYS THIS WEEK! HOPING FOR 5 NEXT WEEK!

Well done M.

UM as everyone else has said make sure you get checked out!

I got my YOMD's planning DVD in the post today so I can now get really excited.

Have a good weekend everyone!

 

[denecarter]

Dene - Your earrings are fitting differently? How much weight have you lost total? !

As of last weigh-in... 25.6 lbs in 4 weeks. BUT I started at 330 on 1/1. Prolly more than that around Christmas (got ERR on the scale a few times). And based on photos... most of what I've lost has been in my face, hands, and buddha belly. My hands and face were really swollen... the earlobes themselves were swollen and my swollen neck and face were pulling on them as well. They are the flat, gold Mickey faces... the backs barely clicked before, now there is a little room... that much water/fat/swelling... I was a heartattack waiting to happen.

At at O'Charleys, I only let them bring one roll to the table for DS. (yeast rolls are like crack!) Of course my precious DS held it up and sniffed it and said, "I bet you guys REALLY want one of these, it smells so gooood." Then he proceeded to eat it slowly and with gusto. IMP!

Bright side? He wasn't just blindly, mindlessly eating...

No, of course not! What I meant was, you look great in your pics too! But even better in person - just a cutie all around!
Do you ever sleep? I mean didn't you get up at the butt crack of dawn this morning!?

(Whispers) Stacey... butt crack of BOB, butt crack of BOB, but crack of BOB...

Thanks for making that sacrifice on our behalf, Sandy! But a walk in -7 degree weather with a brisk wind blowing in your face outta burn off about everything you ate this weekend!!!

How many calories does shivering burn? I hear the Iditarod (sp) people used to eat sticks of BUTTER to help keep the furnaces stoked, so that cheesecake doesn't stand a chance!

Think I'll go do some nice, heated building yoga...

 

[dismom9761]

Good morning everyone!!

Eeyore,there is no way I would be walking in that.forty degrees here and I am miserable,guess that is why I live in Georgia.

Lexmelinda,Way to go on the walking!

Denecarter,I loved your "book".You are doing this the right way.About a year and a half ago my dad lost approx. 125 lbs in six months on WW.It came off that fast because he started at almost 500 lbs(not sure of exact) and he felt better than he had in years.

Well I am off to work out and then supervise 14 kids at my DDs birthday party.She is 8 years old today!

HAPPY SATURDAY PEEPS!! Have a healthy day!

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

I want to know what DeneCarter, JnEsWDWMom, and Dance did! I need motivation! (Can we call you three the BIGGEST LOSERS?????)

I'd love to be called a Biggest Loser!!!!
Thanks Denecarter for your "book". I love to hear what other people are doing.
I basically just paid attention to what I eat. I was eating a whole lot more than I thought I was normally. The food diary was a big help!!!
Now.... it's a whole new week people!! Go for it!! You guys are so motivating to me.

 

[pigget74]

Good morning all. I am about to get ready to go run--Couch to 5k in 12 weeks. It is a lovely 27 here--sure going to be fun to run. How do you get your name in on the book. I would love to do this. OK--little man just fell so I have to go. Will check back after I run.

 

[harleygirl]

I tried EggBeaters this mornng...they were ok, but I did have to sprnkle some shreded cheese on them, not alot, just enuff to add some flavor. But I think my DH has high cholesterol and he is changing his diet accordingly, so I will do it with him...

eeyore bundle up!!!

off to a walk, and yoga today!! have a great saturday!!!

 

[UtahMama]

The Tooth Fairy came to our house last night .... TWICE!!!!

My DS7 lost his front top rt. tooth that was hanging in the breeze for weeks and it finally gave up it's hold on my darling squeemish son's mouth. So we put it in a zip lock baggie and stuck it under his pillow for the TF to find.

Meanwhile, my DS8 was eating a jawbreaker and tried to bite it and a formerly very loose tooth came out (a baby molar) YIKES!!!! So we put HIS tooth also in a baggy under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy.

They made me leave the light on because (1.) they were a little askeerd that a fairy would be pillaging under their pillows in the middle of the night and (2.) they wanted to catch her in the act!!!!! I love that they still have magic in their lives!

After reading my first sentence above, did you think the tooth fairy left money twice on the same kid? Like, her DH didnt think she remembered and did it himself? THAT would be sooooo likely. Either that or having the Tooth Fairy plumb-forget her duties (much more likely). Or there was the time the Tooth Fairy gave the $20 in her wallet instead of the $5 because it was too dark and she's dingy. Happy kid, though!

Tell your DD Happy birthday and don't forget to change her age in your signature!

 

[Bee]

OK! I hope I got everyone! I read the whole days worth twice so....

Group grand total -27 1/2 lbs gone forever!

I want to know what DeneCarter, JnEsWDWMom, and Dance did! I need motivation! (Can we call you three the BIGGEST LOSERS?????)

Congratulations to ALL the losers! Keep up the good work! And it sounds like you are WORKING hard at it!!!!!

To all the Samers and Gainers....THIS will be YOUR week! You can DO it!!!!

I've eaten so much fiber, I 'm having BLOOD in my B.M's! Is that normal??? It's kind of alot. Well, no more Colon Blows this week. That has me worried.

Ok- UM about this blood.. I dont mean to be gross however we need to talk about it.
If it is RED then it is surface- like maybe you ripped yourself a little.

If it from inside it will be black and not red. The you NEED to WORRY more.

Red- not a HUGE deal.. Black Big deal!!! OKIE dokie.. enough of the pooh talk!

Love all y'all

You can call me a BIG LOSER anytime Truthfully though it was one of my first few weeks on WW and I am sure my numbers will slow down soon. I am pretty good about writing down what I eat, that is key. Otherwise I can conveniently forget that I ate something. I also have a bracelet with a hanging charm on it on a clasp that I move as I use my daily points. Hard to describe, but WW used to sell them, if I think of it I will post a pic later. They are basically just beads, so I made some prettier versions myself. I think it helps to constantly remind me of my goals to feel it on all day.

Lexmelinda,Way to go on the walking!

Ditto all that!!

That is SOOO something I would do too! I love that they still have some magic too, that is so sweet.


I will be back later to post I am sure. My DD woke up way too early for my liking. Guess that is my payback for staying up too late

 

[pigget74]

Just got back--ran 1 mile and walked 2. The temp while I was out only warmed up to a lovely 33 degrees. Boy was I cold. I wore DH under armour that he has for work. My DS laughed when he saw that I had on boys under armour---you know the flap in the front. I had running pants over it so it did not matter to me. I was proud that I Could actually fit in them. My DH is what I call thin--never has had to worry about weight.
