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

[UtahMama]

I love the Disney Crocs in Pink/White BUT I also have beautiful XL Footsies! I was thinking of taking a hole punch to my lime greenies (which I LOVE and wear alot) With the black and red ones, I'd feel like I'd have to keep my clothes neutral like jeans capris and white tops. I have a pair of pink "Nothingz" that are NOT a knock-offs brand and they are even MORE cushy-comfy. But in WDW, my tops were green, so I wore the green CROCS.


Our Walmart has the reallly fake CROCS for girls for cheap, so I'm picking up a guessed size for next summer for Norah.

We only wear socks (pds) in WDW because of the humidity. We slid around too much. I HATE the look of socks with CROCS, but Happy feet trumped fashion.

EVERYwhere we went, curious peeps wanted to know about them. I told them I just bought them to work in the yard so I coulkd just hose them off when done, BUT my gosh they are good on my feet.

They were originally made for diabetics with the little massagey nubbies, but they caught on with nurses, then everyone. When I was doing hair, they would have been heaven!

And that is my CROCS essay.

OMG I woke up this morning and when I looked in the mirror all I could see was a GIANT CRAB!!! what ever happened to my sweet gentle dispositon? Maybe it is that I have been without DH for all weekend minus the few hours that I got to see him last night, which was spent with his parents, yep that was so fun...ugh I hate ugly days like this...all my pants are to tight and my kids are jumping on that last nerve, my house is trashed, and I just want to run screaming thru the streets...
sorry for the rant..thanks for listening...I'll be nice, I promise...I'll come back and play later when I feel better...but at least I have vented frustration and have not eaten like I normally would do...trying to work in time to go for a ride, that'll make me feel better to...and a magic fairy to clean my house for me would help too!

There's no way I can read 30 pages.

When I get my energy back and can walk around for more than 5 minutes without becoming so sick to my stomach I'll keep up.

So, school starts tomorrow. WOOO HOOO

For me.

I chopped all my hair off on Friday night. Hormones.

I was tired of picking it out of the shower. Hormones.

I feel like I can't suck it in anymore. I figured I'm almost 8 weeks along.

I don't like any of the Z names I've been researching. This messes up my name strategy big time.

All my kids have 7 letters in their names. Matthew, Zachary, Malorie, and
I haven't the foggiest clue what I'm gonna do. I really wanted a z name for this one. Zoe and Zane are nice but it's impossible to get 7 letters there.

Ok, peeps. I'm off to bed. Have a great week.

how about Zoe-Anne or some form of that? Gets you seven letters and I like it!

New Oprah Show - Bob Greene, and a New Life -

I'll take notes!!

 

[the Fidge]

Good Morning all! Just got back form Hosital what a joke!! Lef tnad hand right hand are all mixed up there! The hosptial has me down after I was there Firday to fill out all the silly forms to pre register and someone keyed the day wrong!

As the girla apologies and says some dumb reason like ohh they have been soooo busy! So glad I am losing the day as our school takes off for hunting day you see and we don't get this one off!

Sadly she didn't seem to upset until they called the Dr office and his office had her very upset left me stitting to comlain to other co workers how mean they are at my Dr office!

SO now it set up for tomorow! I was not happy and it was useless! GGGRRRRRRR

ok so what did I do when I got back home naturally went to find where DH hid my Girl scout cookies and I can't find them!! I did find however the bag of ceese doodles and stood there thinking of the nutritional merits cheese well its protein right? Well I dropped the bag and got a bowl of rasin bran not very fun but it is what it is!

Ok I am not going to let this ruin the day right?? OK so my boss pulls in my driveway and rings the bell he saw my car so took a chance he says he wants me to volunteer my time to go sit with the van at auto shop since I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING HE SAYS!!

Evidently all the things I have reported to him as a problem were more than he could handle today!

I know it sounds crazy but since I am getting paid today he can go drop off the vehicle and I can sit and pick the lint out between my toes should I so desire today!

OK its really feeling like a Monday am I done?? Gosh I hope so!!

<running in to give Fige a super hug> Find the rainbow Fige, find the rainbow!!

So the Oprah and Bob Greene Show talk about The Best Life. Bob has teamed up with food manufacturers and we can now look for a circle that says "Best Life" and know that in portions, its a good thing!!

They talked about being heavy, and showed people that lost 100+ pounds, they came out and said how something Bob or Oprah had said that inspired them, and always Oprah says, "but why this time?" What made the difference this time (I always hang onto those words, as I've started and quit too many times to count!)

Then.. Isolation Isolation. That hurts. You see once upon a time, I was an outgoing, friendly person. I had friends in real life. I had activities, and I did things, meetings, Bible Studies, movies, watching kids in sports, camping... things. Now. Nothing. I dont talk to girlfriends on the phone. I dont go out on dates. and I come close to having a panic attacks at the thought of going out there. I have become isolated because I am fat.

Then... lack of motivation How true is that? This goes hand in hand to hate to exercise mantra... his response... DO IT FIRST - motivation will follow. Just START hmmm that so sounds familiar!!! and that I've done. Then this woman comes out, Bob made a connection to her, and she dropped 30# in 4 - 6 months just by not drinking soda!!!

The mantra... Claim the Life you Deserve! They said there are 6 foods to give up for the phase - like soda, white bread, pasta, fried food yada yada... replace with whole wheat, whole grains... and he talked about doing one replacement meal, slimfast ...

another favorite was Wasa Crackers, you get a good crunch. Take that with a thin turkey breast slice, tomato slice, basil leaf, make 2 with a bowl of soup and you get the crunch... crunch is important to Oprah!!!

Yoplait was also mentioned for calcium, the 100 calorie Key Lime serve it in a nice pretty glass mix with strawberries, blueberries for breakfast!!

So Look, its as if we read Bob Greene's book already!!

BIG

GREEN GOBLIN?!? Isn't that the guy who's Spiderman's enemy?!?

 

[DisneyObsession]

So far, works not too bad. I think most people think we are closed for MLK B'Day! Hopefully it stays this way so I can DIS some more!!!

I have planned all my meals for today and it is looking good. Even with my snack I am under my minimum calories by 200! I'll have to add something later if I need to. Maybe popcorn?!?

DH and I went to the movies Fri afternoon and saw A Night at the Museum. Good movie! I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun movie for the family. It was rated PG, no swearing, no sexual inuendos...nothing! It is definitely one we'll buy when it comes out on DVD.

 

[UtahMama]

Sandy!!!!! I am loving the sound of that book. I've thumbed through it a bunch of times. Maybe we can do a WISH book club in this thread? There's so much wisedom out there! The website looks like it costs $$$ to join. My peeps are FREE! Guess WHAT? You DO have girlfriends who love you and love to hang with ya....US!


Fidge- I think you should go pick up his dry cleaning too since your not doing anything! He's got some nerve coming to your house! Sorry your morning is sucky! Make it better.

A WOOOOHOOOTY is when we get to a milestone number in our post counts and pages and post numbers etc. Like every 500, 1,000 etc. I just had a great big WOOOHOOOTY in my Suberban because it now has 150,000 miles on it! There is a naughty meaning too.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Hey all! Happy Monday!?!

I have noticed a few people complaining of crabiness yesterday and today, and I just have to join in! I was soooooooo irritable yesterday! I have no idea why! I mean, something happens that irritates me (ex: DH asking me to help him do something when I have just sat down after folding and putting away clothes for nearly 2 hours.), but I get overly irritated by it. I know it. I just can't seem to snap out of it! I get annoyed by everyone - DH, DM, puppy, kitty, FIL, EVERYONE! This is usually something that happens to me when I PMS, but it is way too early for that. Is it the change in diet that has affected my mood, or perhaps made PMS come early? I don't know, but I hate it when I get like that! It got better into the evening, but I spent a LOT of time this weekend working on my new photo storage site, and I woke up from a dream this morning in which I was again working on it! Uploading, rotating, deleting, & rearranging photos! Not exciting, yet tiring. I'm sooooo exhausted! And I have puppy class tonight! Ugh! Anyway, I guess I am just venting too. I hope that everyone who is feeling grumpy like me feels very happy very soon!

Have a skinny day everyone!

DH and I saw that too! You are right. Very cute movie! We will be buying it too.

"Claim the Life you Deserve!"

I LOVE this statement! This is precisely what I try to think about while I am working my booty off trying to lose weight, trying to get my photography business up and running, or just trying to keep my house in order! LOVE IT! And needed to hear it right now, I think. Thanks Sandy! (I believe it was you who posted it.)

 

[dragonfly18]

Good Morning Peeps!

What an exhausting day yesterday was!! We got a dusting of snow!!! Hopefully the roads will be ok, DS girlfriend must drive my van home today! Not liking what I'm hearing about the Bears vs THE Saints!!! Poor Bears! Not looking good for a win!

Dragonfly I remember why I quoted you last night!! I saw you on another thread, and wanted to jump up and say "HI PEEP" but didnt want anyone to think us cliquish!!!

Aries hang in there!! One day at a time too much, work on one minute. I 2nd the going to bed so I dont eat anymore theory too - sometimes I want to go to bed around 8pm tho!!

Disney Crocs you can see them all online at www.crocs.com !! I LOVE my crocs!! I have the Disney Pink ones on my Birthday list!! Do know the pink ones only go up to size large, not XL - I wear a big size 11, XL is huge and roomy, L fits snug, but not tight... and the pretty maryjane style and the ballerina style only go up to size 10... OH, and the nile is like a sandal, or a croc with the top half cut off, some say it looks better, but if your foot pronates, it will rub at the strap area...

Fige I forgot to mention something to you, I thought about it in the wee hours of the mornin... and forgot it again!!

Eeyore - We can be cliquish if we want to! We are a band of Peeps!!! (I don't know what peeps come in - a bunch, a pack, a pod, what???) We need a PEEP smilie!

I wear a size 8-1/2 or 9 in regular shoes, but I had to get a size Large in the Disney Crocs (which say they are for size 10 / 11). They are big on my, but according to the Crocs people, that is how they are supposed to fit (not touching your foot). They are ugly, but they are very comfortable! And the Mouse cutouts offset some of the ugliness!!!

Just enough time for a quick post before teacher frozen work day.

I lost 6 lbs bringing my total to 10.4...

Notice my new clippie

Congrats on your new ribbon (and your weight loss too - I just like the ribbons!)

OMG I woke up this morning and when I looked in the mirror all I could see was a GIANT CRAB!!! what ever happened to my sweet gentle dispositon?

For all the grumpy people out there (I mean crabby people, this is not directed at you Grumpythreadhunk) - I think it was just a CRABBY PATTY DAY cause I was feeling the same way. I locked myself in my spare bed room and scrapped all day cause I didn't want to talk to anyone!

So far, works not too bad. I think most people think we are closed for MLK B'Day! Hopefully it stays this way so I can DIS some more!!!

I have planned all my meals for today and it is looking good. Even with my snack I am under my minimum calories by 200! I'll have to add something later if I need to. Maybe popcorn?!?

Night at the Museum was very cute! I took my DD (13), her friend (12), and Dismom's DS (7) and we all loved it. It is good for any age. I will definitely be buying it when it comes out on DVD!


And I am a little over 100 posts (can't see from here, but I know I hit 100 just recently) - does that count for a WOOHOOTY?!?! I know it is pitiful when some of you have in the thousands, but I am working on it!!!

Oh, and my wonderful mechanic person fixed my car (again) and didn't charge me anymore!!


And just because I love this smilie:

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, sorry for posting like a kazillion times in a row, but WHY, might I ask, is there an ad for Baskin Robbins at the top of OUR thread??? What are they thinking?!?

 

[monymony3471]

I woke up early today and got right on the tread mill. So far I've been ok, a few moments of the horrid indigestion, but not continuous. Maybe that's key for me.

Plus Saturday night we came home from bowling and I was starving and out of habit I just went to bed. I woke up and I think my sugar or whatever was just completely out of wack and that messed me up all day and made me feel sick.

So, I have to make sure I don't get too hungry before bed. I did wake up through the night last night and felt hungry. Do they say to eat a snack in the middle of the night if you are hungry while pregnant? I'm not normally a night time snacker so this is new to me. I'm just trying to stay even.

If I am dieting and doing awesome and feeling pumped and then ruin it somewhere, it's so easy for me to turn into crabby patty and mess my mood up. That could be causing some of the mood swings here.

Stay focused at the concept at hand. Squash the negative inner voice. Listen to the positive inner voice.

It's Happy Monday everyone!!!!!

Monica...when I was Preggers I used to wake up every night feeling sick. My Dr suggest that I eat something before bed. I started eating green apple slices and small cubes of cheddar cheese right before bed. It worked and I continued it with my second pregnancy. He always told me "never let your stomach get empty". Another great suggestion he gave me was to drink small sips of citrus Gatorade when morning sickness struck... (kinda like the lemonade thing...) this also worked great for me.

Another great Z name: Zarrina... just another 7 letter suggestion.

 

[pixie dust 112]

To all you crabby grumpy doodles out there sending you some to brighten your day!!!! I'm having a happy day, but we all get those grumpy days! Hope you're all feeling like your on again soon!

 

[eeyore45]

oooo i like Zarinna - the nicknames can be cute tooZarree, Reena... and I like the ZoeAnne!!

UtahwendyMamma You always swoop in to pick me up!! Been like that for hmmm since I "met" you in a trip report!!

I do like trying to "blog" so sometimes if my post gets longwinded, no worries, I'm just talking to myself!!!

OK back from Bally's : Monday - 30 min eliptical (yea me - I wanted to give up at 20, 25... pushed thru)

20 min circuit strength (arms are mush) training

20 min off road (ie. "the ball" and situps, and a horrible push up - I did it. You lay across the ball on your tummy, then walk forward and try and do 3 reps of 8 push...aaack so very hard.) Some squats etc.



Dragonfly forgot to mention on the Croc topic - since I"m an 11 ( :eek1: ) I've bought both L and XL - XL is roomy comfy and huge on my feet - the L is snug on the top esp if I wear the band behind my ankle - so you just pop them in a dryer or dishwasher till they get all warmish, then put them on, stretch the back band, and viola... not so huge on the feet, not small... just right!!

and UTM I thought the story was a couple of guys in Colorado needed boat shoes that had orthotics built into them!!! I hate that theyre ugly, but this is one trend thanks to the Dis I started in our town!! roflol - I will caution you about getting croc knockoffs, the ones at Target had a hard plastic, not that soft resin, the ones at Payless are the soft resin!!! fyi...

On Oprah either today or this week is BOB GREEN- We cant miss it! I'm all excited to watch! My TV guide wont specify what today's episode is about, darn it!

I have some weird advice for those of you in a mood funk (OOOps, I spelt that wrong the first time ) A sure cure for a bad mood or pissyness is:

Do something NICE for someone else! Service! Really, this will work. Try it before the blues turn into depression.
