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

[UtahMama]

Hokay, I am in the basement freezing to death. I can literally see my breath "Look, I'm smoking!" (giggle!) I havent retraced my path but wanted to check in. I just ate a Peppermint Patty (York) and wont be around for my tar & feathering you'll punish me with.

See, we are having MAJOR problems with our newish Dell (the warm and cozy location upstairs). DH ended up having to buy a new hard drive today after attempting every other solution. It's taking a major long time to install. So, I hopefully will be in heated comfort tomarrow...the "kids computer" is downstairs in the basement which is FREEZING! I have to go before I get frosbite. Spongie has kept me informed. Tell her if you urgently need to tell me something.

Twinkie! I'm paranoid I wont tell you good bye before you go!!!!

UMama,

Why didn't you call Sirius Lee Askew? He would have helped you!

Trying out my new siggie... gonna miss my DVC pix... but right now, the WISH stuff is more important to me. I can only narrow it down so far... hope I'm "compliant".

Okay... time for some "Random Thoughts... by Dene' Carter":
1. As of this May, I will have graduated high school 25 years ago. Wow! Where did it go?
2. I feel great!
3. Crushing on the hunky trainer is a great reason to get to the gym on a daily basis.
4. Changing the food you eat does not mean you have to eat bland, boring foods. Maybe watching all those hours of "Food Network" is paying off.
5. Lifting weights is making me lose weight faster... as well as toning me up. (Put a smile on the face, and that is me lifting weights.)
6. Food does not require massive quantities of salt.
7. I've seen more people (both old and new acquantances) at the gym since 1/1 than I've seen in the last 6 years living here but working 30 miles away and sitting in front of my tv/computer when I was home.
8. Tomorrow would have been my anniversary.
9. I was married 3 years; Larry died 15 years ago... that's 5 years gone for every one year married... it's time to let it go and stop blaming him for my problems (especially my weight).

Dene' - Way to be positive! Those kinds of anniversaries are tough. Hope you get through the day tomorrow knowing that you have lots of Peeps thinking about you and appreciating what you bring to everyone here.

I have something to celebrate tomorrow. It's my Grandma's 100th birthday. I'm planning to go visit her, then we have a family birthday party on Sunday.

Hang in there and stay warm, Uma! Hope you get your computer problem fixed soon. We miss you!!!

And lastly, Bee, here is some for your interviews! They would ALL be lucky to have you.

Oh yes! I am familiar with the Illusion collar. The instructor at puppy class recommended the Gentle Leader for Jasper. She was a TERRIBLE puller - like she would choke herself to the point of throwing up! The gentle leader turned her into a different dog! NO MORE PULLING! Amazing, I tell you! And she is better now on her martingdale style collar, which we are transitioning her back to for her CGC test. Because she is a beagle, we have a hard time with the collar staying up at the top of her neck too, but the gentle leader does because of the way it is made. It is great!

Oh, I have the gentle leader too and a choke chain. You name it, I probably have it. The gentle leader works the best as well, but it drove me nuts that she tried to get that piece of her nose. Actually, the dog down the street has tried to get it off of her, like the groundhog did to Lady in Lady and the Tramp. It was funny. I think I may use it for little Trixie because she is pulling, but she also has Kennel Cough (that the vet says she got from the vaccination, but I'm not so sure ), so I don't want anything around her neck. I have a harness, but it doesn't keep her from pulling.

I use the gentle leader! Or my dog does anyway. I have a standard poodle BTW. The difference when we put that thing on her is amazing! Just putting it on makes her the perfect little angel. If we are having company we will put it on her just because it makes her so much calmer. Except I hate the "does she bite b/c she is wearing a muzzle" remarks I get ALL THE TIME. I mean, seriously, her mouth is hanging wide open and you can see her teeth when she is wearing it - but they think its a muzzle (which I believe keeps your mouth completely closed?)

I'm really trying to get her certified as a therapy dog at our local humane society, but my schedule is just so crazy that I haven't found the time. Plus, I'm not quite sure how strict they are. She's good and follows basic commands but the "stay" isn't so hot. She thinks it means walk over or away from me - not stand still. We did do puppy kindergarten at our local community school, but she dropped out. Puppy kindergarten drop out LOL! Actually I hated the instructor. All she had us do was walk in circles and when she practically threw my little Phoebe (who's not all that little) to the ground when teaching her "down", I had had enough. So we went priviate LOL. She learned down in one night without being held down by her neck. The instructor was awesome. It was a small group class but a private dog trainer.

Anyway, good luck with the pup! I'm sure everything will turn out great!
*Shannon

Ok, that visual image has me ! Try the "watch me" command while sitting. Hold a treat in front of your nose, and get the dog to "watch" you. That really helped mine before they learned "stay". Sorry you had such a bad instructor. Mine works at the local pet store, and she is wonderful! I recommend her to everyone I know that needs dog training. She is young, but so smart when it comes to dogs.

Dene - Prayers coming your way today.

You guys are kind of quiet today! Which is good, I am too tired to read 20 pages!

I just spent the last 2 hours updating my dining review. We did not get home until 9:00 then it took an hour to get the kids to bed - they had to eat their second supper, you know the one before church doesn't count on Wednesdays! The dining reviews took along time today. I think our family ate everything on the menu at Kona and I took pics of all of it!

Good night peeps!

 

[dwheatl]

Ok sadly I am the unoffical queen I guess of Colon Blow I ahve not recieved my TIarra but.....thats ok!

Colon Blow- a morning cereal such as Raisin Bran or Fiber One. It keeps everything moving along nicely!!! A bowl of clon blow in the morning helps me stay healthy!!!!



Does anyone know when Queen Elizabeth is handing me my CROWN??? The colon blow coronation cermony is being held when exactly???????anyone anyone??

Official definition

DH and I are so immature. We used to eat at a restaurant that had a breakfast on the menu called the traveler's special that was raisin bran, a bowl of stewed prunes, and coffee. We knew where they'd be traveling to, too.

 

[dwheatl]

Darn it! I am GOOD! People would be stupid not to hire me! I am awesome..

This is now my mantra.... I keep trying to tell myself these things... as I wait, and wait......

And gosh darn it... People like me!!


Hey where is our fearless leader?? Hey MAMA!!! Missing you!!

That's a great attitude, and don't forget, God has a plan. When I changed careers several years ago, I had to go through a ton of interviews over several months. I really stressed, gained a lot of weight, and cried every time I didn't get the job. Then the district where I work now had an opening, and they snapped me up very quickly (I called one day, interviewed the next, and was given the position the next day). I realized that this is where I was meant to be, that I didn't get those other positions because this is where I was supposed to be.
I hope things go quickly and smoothly for you. Hang in there!

 

[dwheatl]

Good night to the West Coasters (Is there anyone besides DL Mama and me?) and good morning to the rest of you all. I'm off to bed. Think of Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday-Make good choices!

This stinks. We play K-love all day at work. Is Mr. Ipod allowed to join you at work?

Illegal use of man candy! 15 points

Love your random thoughts, Dene! Sounds like the gym and diet are creating positive changes for you!

I went and checked this out -- GREAT TIP!

SUE & MOO ARE RIGHT!!! Check out hungry-girl.com!!! Great site!

P.S. I just had my 1,000 WOO HOOTY!!!

WOO HOOTY, MOO!!!

We did not get home until 9:00 then it took an hour to get the kids to bed - they had to eat their second supper, you know the one before church doesn't count on Wednesdays!

BORG! Exact same situation here on Wednesdays. The hot supper before church doesn't count and I don't want to cook after church! Time for bed! Have a bowl of cereal, kids!

Here is the old skit from SNL re: Colon Blow. Hope this is not considered inappropriate cause it is funny.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYBODY!!!

[pigget74]

Yesterday was somewhat of a good day for me.
Wake-up 5:00----20 oz water
1 cup of coffee
Oatmeal for breakfast with 20 oz of water --this was about 9:00
Lunch WW meal with 20 oz water
snack around 2:00 -1 pt. and 20 oz of water with flavor added
After school--20 0z water
Dinner at church--ate DS last tiny piece of cheese pizza and a small bite of his cake (I really don;t even like cake, but it was choc. with white icing and crumbled oreos on top. 1 cup of coffee

So I got in at least 100 oz of water alone. There were times I felt from all the water and needing to go to the restroom.


I will try and post a picture and a better bio later today. Lets have a great day

 

[the Fidge]

Happy Thursday!Good Morning all you lovlies eveyone looking thinner today to me!!!! Hppay Birthday Sue, I wil not sing....it just ain't pretty!!!!

Dene, so sorry and you know somethings just take time and heck I am still blaming DH for tons of things so pelase don't take my crutch away...only kidding!

OK had a sweet surprise DH brough me home flowers and the card said You are wonderful! Ds said to DH hey Dad, what are you trying to get money out of mom or something!! DH said I guess I don't do this often enough! SO sweet. The hospital thing was kinda of bothering me as I really felt terribly things didn't go very well and a bit mortifying if I can say so!!!

I hate the sleeplessness and the waking up every hour grumpyman cover your eyes now...that mother nature brings , I was just cranky from 1am on...I eat 3 bowls of special k, and had 8 Lorna dunes of the night...I am actually hungover from food! Crazy right??

I had a chat with DS teacher and was not thrilled by our conversation as she is very fit and made a passing comment that I held in my claw all night and thought of all these mean things that I could say and cut her right off at ehr knees. But I won't!!!

Good news focus focus good stuff.....I got someone to cover me at work did I mention I am going to WDW for DH and DS birthday's.....I am so excited and I just got a bit down last night guess hormones are messing with me but they come in handy as I get some serious cleaning done!

I never had dinner so I am justifying my night time food insanity to that. Harley I am going outside you job and bringing some real bad music fromt he 80s and will play really loud maybe some boy george will disturb them, it distrubs me!!! Then they will have no choice but paly some music over me!!!

Lyndayou are doing so well with your accountibilty for the food I can't wait to hear how you will run off with the lead this week you are doing great!!

WE have a 2 hour delay this am , snow so if I cna rid of this pounding headache I will get on my bike!

Made a commitment with a buddy we are going to go walking in the afternoon together and DS will join me 2 evenings a week adn we will go down to school and walk around there!

Have my last 2 dinner ressies to make and oh yes order DH's cake. I am debating the Ariel or the Grumpy~ Dh just loves her clam shells and has very tasteless humor about it and he is our grumpy sooo... will decide today.

Ok off for the colon blow this am and some advil the breakfast of champions!

 

[DisneyJo]

Don't laugh...I totally believe in karma (what goes around...comes around etc). Yesterday, I read on another tread about a women in the UK looking for LGMH's. I PM'ed her and mailed 20 off to her this morning, an hour later my neigbhor came by with 4 free movie tickets for Charlottes Web !!! How cool is that !

Hey that UK woman was me. Tinkabella thankyou again now I've got to do my good turn.

I feel prety good about the day and other than eating to many warm high fiber muffins whilst I caught up with you guys I ate what I had planned on eating.

Does that whilst count as sarcastic to us Brits? How many points is that?

Got to tell you guys a funny story, my DD aged 8 is a lazy wotsit and I have to yell at her every morning to get out of bed, have breakfast, get dressed etc etc. Well yesterday she listened to the weather and it said we would have 6" of snow over night and her teacher also said the same. Well 7 o'clock this morning she was up, dressed and ready to play in the snow, trouble was she forgot to look out the window first because guess what there was no snow anywhere. She was not a happy bunny, but at least she was ready for school with one and a half hours to spare.

Just got my first Hungry girl e-mail it's great except I don't like Avocado, Salmon, Almonds or dark chocolate. Hoping for one I like tomorrow.

DD4 went to the dr and has a bladder infection, but at least I got antibiotics and she should be over her symptoms by Saturday. DD6's cough is much better. DDog finally stopped barfing! It's going to be a good day, I can feel it!!!

Hope everyone has a skinny day!
