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

[S.Poppins]

Okay, all caught up!

Fidge - That is great news! So you are doing real estate, hotel, and what is your other job? How are you going to do all that?

Lynda - Thanks for the encouragement. Although right now it hurts my hip to squeeze my left glute. So I am squeezing my right!

Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA for so long. I spent a week a Disney (had a wonderful time!) and came back Superbowl Eve... so I went straight into cheese dip and snack foods and then there were leftovers and I just wasn't in the mood to be good.

So I stayed away another week cause I didn't want to bring y'all down... but it is Friday and I am here! I had the flu last night so I am back to my goal weight which is how I left for my vacation. So you can say I stayed the same (actually I gained 2 lbs and then lost 2 lbs).

Anyway- I missed you guys! And I need to be here... I know from experience that if I am not working at losing or maintaining then I am gaining.

Also I need to work on water consumption and exercise.

Glad to see all the losses and positive changes around here!

oh and this is my 1600th post

WOOOOHOOOOTY, Twinkie is back! and Congrats on the 1600th post! We have missed you! Can't wait to read the trippie.

For the last year and half during Christmas and after we have been looking for nice stocking holders. WE had four but needed five. While at Dinsey this past Thanksgiving we could not find one we liked. Then on Disneyshopping I found mickey stocking holders and we ordered five. DH just reminded me that we are now one short again. Wish me luck that Disneyshopping still has these. Off to go look for one.

Good luck!

Sorry so late today, but I am up .8 this week. It is not a shock considering the week I have had so I am ok with that. I will get back at this after having a pity party for myself, which I accomplished today My DD was finally feeling well enough for preschool today, and I took myself to a movie. ALONE. Nobody telling me what to see, where to sit or commenting in my ear. It was heavenly. I ordered popcorn, which was sort of my lunch and I only ate 1/2 of it so that was a major accomplishment for me too. So now I am feeling more like myself and have let some of my stress go for the week. I am heading to exercise too in a few....I am ready to get back on track!

Congrats to everyone this week. Losers, samers and gainers. Being honest about it no matter where you fell this week is the hardest and most important step.

Next week I bet you lose it + more!!! You are such an encourager!

After the last week I've had, I'm refusing to step on a scale! Since my family went home tuesday night I have been in a real rut and it doen'st help that I have pms to go along with it. I tried to have my pitty party wendsday, but kept getting interrupted. So I've spent the last day and a half refusing to answer the phone. I have tons of work and other things piling up but I can't even begin to pretend I'm ok. Does that make sense? Anyway, tomorrow I will make myself be happy! I've promised my daughter Bailie a trip to the mall, which is over an hour away, we were sopposed to go last week but with everything that happened we had to postpone till this week. So my goal is tomorrow I will pin on my happy face and join the living. Ok, that was a bad choice of words! Anyway, now that I've whined so you all know I'm still here. Oh, and by the way, a bag of mini snickers doens't help with the heartache, neither does popcorn or chips, or carmels or..........................

Give yourself sometime to heal. It is okay to grieve. I pray that you have a great day tomorrow! Maybe it will be a much needed getaway for you.

I got my ultrasound report today and all is normal. It's measuring 5 days ahead of my LMP. So, that makes me think, one I'm having another big baby and two, the x-rays I had should not be a big concern cause the egg was just getting fertilized or traveling to adhere somewhere.

All other tests came back normal too.

So glad that everything went well!

I'm up +3. This is very discouraging. I'm just losing and gaining the same three pounds over and over again. I'm about ready just to quit.
Congrats to all the losers and samers! You guys so rock!!!

I have been doing the same thing! Don't get discouraged! It will be worth it! At least we aren't gaining!

Ok, I am going Dyson shopping with DH! I started a Dyson thread over on the CB if anyone wants to come comment.

Wish me luck!

Just need to do a quick vent. Over on my dining review I kind of got flamed for telling about an incident that happened to us at Le Cellier. My DS was being tookey and my DH was getting very frustrated with him. You know how crowded Le Cellier is. So, DH leans over the table and rather loudly tells DS to straighten up the attitude or he is taking him to the bathroom and beating him. DD and I were "crawl under the table" embarrassed. Of course, my DH has never beaten anyone, and he meant a spanking. But I guess in his frustration "beating" sounded more threatening. Didn't faze DS at all. So on my review someone posted that I should not have put that in the review. I couldn't tell if she was being funny or not. I put it in the review because I figured most parents would relate. Anyway I tried to respond and assure her we are not beating our kids.

Let us know what you end up getting!

Quick check in before I go catch up!

First of all, Thanks Aries and Wendy!!!!I got mail today. I received it right when I got home from my MRI (which was a little painful on the back). So I needed the pick me up. A million thanks!!!

MRI went fine. Did not hurt while they were doing it, just afterwards getting up was painful. Then they decided I needed xrays too. I guess I will find out something on Monday.

The funeral was a tough one. It was beautifully done with wonderful praise and worship. As a parent, it is just hard to sit through something like that.

Okay, going to catch up now!

I want mail too!!!

Alrightie! The same person just came back on my thread and flamed me for not knowing the Canadian provinces - do Americans know these? GRRRRR.

Let me know how this goes. Our cleaner is on its last leg. Today I had to use the lint brush to get cat hair off the couch--yuk!!! Anyway I am trying to talk DH into getting one. As of now the score is 1-0 in his favor

I just read the whole thing. What a smarty pants scolding you on your own thread!

Here's for you, Stacey. She doesn't know you like we do!

 

[pigget74]

Alrightie! The same person just came back on my thread and flamed me for not knowing the Canadian provinces - do Americans know these? GRRRRR.

As of right now--no I do not. If I was going to travel to Canada I would learn them, but that is a whole nother story.

 

[S.Poppins]

Thank you Heather for rushing to my aide! You are one tough cookie, I am glad we are friends!!! I feel much better now!
Everyone needs to go read Heather's reply, it was great. Classy, but honest!

Thank you Melinda!!! Glad I can count on my PEEPS!

 

[pigget74]

Stacey--We have your back. There was nothing wrong with your post.

DS is very whiney and I do not blame him. Just wandering in circles crying, but doe not want to be held, juice, or anything. I know he feels bad---I feel bad for him. Got to go take care of him -- will chek back in later.

 

[S.Poppins]

Thanks to Bee too!

A warning to all: DO NOT MESS WITH A PEEP!!!

I'm about to go read Heather and Bee's reply but (and I hope I don't get flamed for this) but that is why I get so leary about starting threads and posting here. You all can see that I have been a member for a few years but my post count is very low considering, and I think a lot of the reason is that half the time I post a comment or start a thread it just isn't that well received. Some people (here and on all message forums) take things a little too seriously and literally and I get really frustrated with those people. But that is ok by me because I can still get my Disney fix reading others posts and get the support I need from my wonderful Peeps!

Thanks, Heather! I am sorry your baby is not feeling well. Did they give him some medicine to help with the pain and to help him sleep.

I agree Shannon. Although locked threads can be fun to read. I certainly don't want my dining review locked over a debate about Canadian provinces! The whole thing was kind of silly, IMHO.

Ok, just read that person's post and our Peep's fabulous responses to it. Sounds to me like he is a stick in the mud.

And I LOVE to read locked threads! I just hate posting to the controversial ones (even though sometimes I'm dying to) because I always seem to get bashed for sharing an opinion. No thanks . I prefer to and watch from the sidelines!

I understand tha sometimes what we post can be looked at through different glasses and have different meanings. In my opinion some of the things stated in that post were just mean. Yes, she has a right to state her opinion--I just thought it could have been handled a little nicer.

Thanks, Heather! I am sorry your baby is not feeling well. Did they give him some medicine to help with the pain and to help him sleep.

Only thing we can give him is tylenol. We gave hima dose around 6. He just fell asleep so I put him down for the night. His usual bedtime is 7:30 so he didn't go to early. Hopefully he will still sleep through the night.

I don't always post at night but a few necessary shout outs.....

CONGRATULATIONS YA BIG LOSERS......Samers/Gainers........hang in there. Next week is YOUR week. By the way, where's Dene??? Hey, I'm a poet.

Heather.........glad DS's surgery is over and I know he will feel so much better from now on and so will you.

Stacey.......Glad the MRI is done and cheap! I too was worried for you yesterday when you got the price but panic before prayer is a great way to put it. He always take care of us. Hope you get results and relief on Monday.

All other tests came back normal too.

WONDERFUL NEWS, MONICA!!! I had no doubts that all would be well but I know that's a load off your mind.

HOLY COW I GOT BOTH JOBS!!!!!

AGAIN I SAY....WONDERFUL NEWS, BRIGITTE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! And again I had no doubts but frankly I'm just a little concerned that you won't have enough time to DIS..... We would miss you...

Thanks. This is harder than I ever imagined it would be.

Men?!?! They really know how to say the absolute wrong thing. So sorry!!!

What????? Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell meeeee purty please!

Cold water just ain't soundin all that great lately. But I'm trying....and if I get too cold, I hit the decaff coffee with coffeemate at the office. Hope the shingles are better!
