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

THANK YOU for clarifying that... I was envisioning bkies and bobs and...

I've just remembered a funny story about an exercise ball. My Mum, Sister and I went to Champneys health club for a 3 day stay and we did a ball class. Well my Mum had never had any experience using one before and there were giggles all round. We then had to lay on the floor and grip the ball with our feet and raise it in the air, well somehow Mum lost control of hers and it flew across the room hitting several people me included, it was so funny and needless to say she hasn't bought one in fear of all the breakages. Also whilst there we did a relaxation session, I just couldn't relax as I was scared of what noises my body would make, others didn't seem to care! Suddenly the lady in charge tapped my Mum on the shoulder to wake her as her snoring had got a bit loud. Well she was told to relax but probably not that much!

you guys are cracking me up!!! bking and bob and oh gosh thanks for the laughs

So dene - I am thinkin' sinc eMr Wonderful is waitin for hte spring to show off his guns, maybe then you could pose with him for a before and after Star Student photo and then post it here for us to ogle , I mean see

sound like he might have the dark and handome if not so tall goinn for him, but if his personality is there tha'll take the cake...so many buff dudes are all about themselves and not so much about the feelings of others. That being said - I wouldnt mind checkin out that view from where you are tho

The legs get me...buff arms and broad shoulders okay but gotta have fab legs-
and bless the folks at UnderArmor and Nike for their new line of breatheable compression fit,

lexy: you have a memory that just doesn't quit

In highschool I was listed as a 6' center for the girls varsity basketball team. I was actualy 5'11 1/2. Looks better on paper as 6'.

After 3 kids I'm about 5'10. My arches just dropped from all that extra weight I guess. I was a shoe size 11 and now I'm a 12W.


My sister is 6' and all legs!

Off to walk the treadmill. Thanks for keeping me going.

aw come on Lynda... sure that's what its for...

re DDE for Florida residents it cost twice as much than it does for AP holders! (I checked since my parents are FL residents, it was cheaper to do the free dining... we were going before the "Free" it became a "no brainer" )

I have a hard time with the AP rates, dh keeps considering, but I think it would mean we would go too often!! As it is once a year is too often for our budget!! To save for Jan I plan on putting away $20 here and there...

TIME TO DO SOMETHING> suck it in

All righty now... when the boys were in hockey they had some of the best trainers come to the Stan Mikita Hockey School... and those trainers said the only 2 exercises needed to do was sit ups and push ups....

1. We've covered Sit ups - JUST DO IT... 30 today! Ab work... hands straight out, bend at the elbow, now, right elbow, left knee... then left elbow right knee... come on DO IT DO IT DO IT

2. For those of you with the exercise ball (stop thinking of DisneyJo's mum - thanks for sharing Jo!!) lay on your tummy, (on the ball!) now, slowly walk forward, try to get to your ankles... I have to stop around my knees - then up and down at least 5 times, then walk back and redo...

Its an extreme push up, and works on your abs, your whole core will feel this one..

LAST BUT NOT LEAST If you dont have that ball, then do the "superman"... lay on the ground hands straight out... raise your right hand and left foot... raise both hands both feet...

Eeyore - I see the Wicked Witch popped out of your previous avatar! I can hear her yelling, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!"

 

[winkers]

How am I sopposed to have a life with all this chatting going on? It just took me an hour to catch up. I am resuming life today, but so far I've only got as far as the computer. I just have one question for Utah..........are you going to be giving an enrichment class on striptease? I'd pay to see that!

 

[lexmelinda]

JO.......Hilarious story about your mum and about the "relaxation"!!!

MONICA....The reason I remember you are tall is because I wondered how you walked so much farther on your treadmill in the same amount of time as me....longer legs!!! I guess I'm just trying to get a visual on everyone. I am so dumb that I'm usually under the assumption that I'll be looking at everyone eye to eye when I meet them...not so with the peeps. They go from 5' to 6'! We are a very diverse group....thank goodness!!!

LYNDA, DENE, & SANDY.....Thanks for the info and advice. I guess the straight tickts with no AP make the most sense?! I wouldn't get a room discount but the second trip is only 3 nights and the room is only (approx.) $89 so I don't think I could save enough to make it worthwhile to buy an AP. Shoot!

AND SANDY.....Love your Wicked avatar! Better than the heaving womb with detached falopian tubes?!?

 

[eeyore45]

I have chuckled outloud, I have full blown with this thread lately!! and each time a dd or a dh, "NOW what?"

I'm nuts!!

I think I should see what other avatars I have to run thru - altho I do like my frog!! *BEG!!

(Glinda) I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

Okay...just to clarify a few things for everyone not totally aware of yesterday's late evenings posts. There has seemed to be a small bit of confusion from some Peeps on my sanity and or ties to the Hollywood Hills.

I have never, will never, play naked twister. There are so many fun, adventurous things I enjoy, like naked pogo and sky diving but the twister in the buff...that is so wrong on so many levels. First off...there's lagistics. How would someone place a foot on blue if I am already on yellow and my were facing down? A size 13 shoe could do some damage and until my other BFF Dr. 90210 works his majic, let's face it...who needs help stretching them?

Then there is the cleanliness factor...Twister is a game of multiple people and I don't want anyones hiner in my vacinity before or after a colon blow.

Okay...so now you can see, I am just a SA from Minnesota...trying to stay warm by making up my own line of humour.

Those who caught on to my carefully spun web of deceipt, please help the others through this transistional phase.

Thank You for your continued support.
(I was not kidding though about the surgical gloves to open a rented video containing Carmen Electra strip teasing....that is just looking for trouble and other communicable diseases like sorrythingwillfalloffya, wheredidyagettherash and the ever deadly doesn'tlooksogoodfromhere.

My favorite thing to do at football games back in HS was to stare at the players on the sidelines... 'specially on nights when it was rainy and they had on the white uniforms...

And I'll see what I can do for an "after, but still in progress" shot with tall-enough, dark, and handsome at the end of our initial 12 weeks (that'll be mid-April) The guns will be out by then... plus, that'll be about the time I start paying him to work with me one-on-one... (gosh, that sounds kinda dirty )

In highschool I was listed as a 6' center for the girls varsity basketball team. I was actualy 5'11 1/2. Looks better on paper as 6'.

After 3 kids I'm about 5'10. My arches just dropped from all that extra weight I guess. I was a shoe size 11 and now I'm a 12W.

My coach listed me as 5'10"... that's a 2" round up!

I was a 9... now an 11. And I buy my athletic shoes in the men's department... lot's more to choose from.

TIME TO DO SOMETHING> suck it in

At least your more realistic in your expectations than my yoga instructor... dad'gum that woman is strong AND flexible! And she's really quiet as she calmly asks you to turn yourself into a pretzel and stand on one leg while you do it.

Actually, there are two different yoga "practices" that I go to... the 2nd instructor has a more muscular build (she also teaches step aerobics) and is not as flexible as the first. She's actually got a body I could aspire to be more like... more muscular like I was back in the day... of course, I'm anticipating a surgery or two to get me there (a lift here, a tuck there, a reinflation)...

By the way... for those of you who haven't considered lifting weights... I think it has actually helped the sistas out... not "losing" them like I have in the past just doing cardio and while they may not be like the days of hs and college, they are.... uh... perkier

So I'm officially having a bad day - not food wise, doing good in that respect at least. And looking back, I've been having a lot of bad days since this semester started. Why am I so stressed? Why do my supervisors have to be so unpersonable (except for 1) and refuse to tell you if you are doing ok or night? I needed to get some things at Michael's and then my mom and I went to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch. I think she or I mentioned something about school and my eyes welled up. It was all I could do not to start to bawl right there in the stupid restaurant. Even now as I'm typing, they are welling up again. I know grad school is hard but I don't think it needs to be like this. I'm so close to finishing (Spring 08), but the stress is probably going to give me a heart attack before then. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing and I have no one to explain this to. Or if I do, they don't really "get it". The girls in the program with me get it but they don't seem as miserable and overwhelmed as I feel. I just need the world to take a pause for about 2 days, give me a chance to organize myself and my thoughts, and then jump back in. Like, I'm a list maker. I love to make lists. Which is good because it keeps me organized most of the time. Well, I have a little notebook that I have my school to do list in. It's about 3 pages long and once I cross one thing off, I need to add about 2 more. Nothing seems to be getting done even though I'm working all the time! And the worst part is that I can't stand my 2 of my supervisors. They are hardly supportive and more concerned with me getting things in and doing things their way then me actually learning how to be a better clinician. Ugh, I don't know. I just want to give up but I know that that isn't me and I know that I probably would regret it. But I can't be this unhappy all the time. I try to explain this to my mom and she just doesn't really get it. She thinks all I have to do is talk to someone at school and all my problems go away. Doesn't work that way. Ok, vent over. (go UM, go UM! )

 

[Dizneydawn]

Hey all you romantic peeps!
I was cleaning ot an old drawer and wanted to share one of my favorite poems...maybe you can use it for your loved one this Valentines day!
Hoefully this redeems me for the Carmen Cracks!


With You

Dreaming of you I drifted and lie awake
Wondering alone at the price I would pay
Waiting to see what I had to stake

Too stubborn to believe in a gift given for free
Sure of a catch or a clause
Positive this blessing couldn't be for me

You were soft and patient and right by my side
Calming my anxieties and my fears
Lifting me higher and higher, reviving my pride

I did not ask for you, your spirit was unattached
Given without pressure or commitment
Such a simplistic, perfect match

You are my higher purpose, my reason to breathe
You are the wings in flight
The goals that I have yet to achieve

Stay with me now and forever I pray
Wake with me each sunrise
Great me at the beginning of each new day

With you in my soul, my being, my heart
I see a horizon filled with opportunity
For every day is the beginning of a fresh new start.




Okay - I know it may be not your typical post but many of you have a loved one in your life that this fits and I hope you can use it on the day that one should say Thanks to those that love you and you love.

Wonders- hang tight there girl!! The greatest things in my life are the ones that I truly worked hard for. No motherhood on the other hand has taguth me soo much about my lists. I have always lived for my lists!

Motherhood has taught me that there are only so many hours in a day, God created 24 or the women would keep going and then they would be all burned out and then man could not have created the remote!

Be patient and kind to yourself! You are doing your best and that is job well done at the end of the day! Is there much more in life we really need than to know we have TRIED to do our best with each day we are given??

GOOD LUCK AT WORK TOMORROW!

BEE~

GOOD LUCK AT WORK TOMORROW!

Thank you! I am excited and stressed!
I am not nervous about the work part. I am nervous about the mom part. I have been here when the kids left for and came home from school for basically the last 3 years so I am nervous about them getting where they need to be, when they need to be.

Also, we have a winter storm watch for tomorrow and I HATE to drive in snow. Havent done that for 3 years either, cause when we had the bar, we lived above it...

So, STRESSED... But, excited.

Thanks Pixie- I love you!!

 

[eeyore45]

GOOD LUCK Bee, enjoy it!!

say a prayer for my ds... he works for the student police at Univ of IL - and had a bad night... almost got run over by a drunk driver, he was really shaken, and got very angry when "they" wouldnt arrest the driver... (his partner and my son were in shock, it happened fast, they jumped, and rolled out of the way... they then went looking for the car after calling it in, "better than 911" and apparently nothing came from it, so ds is indignant!)

I've never thought much of the campus police - they tend to "Hush" up stuff, and those kids that work for them dont have it easy!! They are out there in this weather and are NOT allowed to wear anything covering their face!!! DS works the midnight shifts!!

I knew I should've gone down there - other ds was in a concert tonight!!
