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

[mousehouselover]

Stacey~ DH and I are doing WW on our own. I got lots of info on another website and we've been using it to plan our meals and such. There is a thread on DIS for people who want to follow WW without meetings or going online.

Can I get a WOOO HOOOTY for 300 posts?I knew last night I was getting close and then I went and forgot so I have no idea where my 300 actually is. I think I might have been at UTM over on the focker thread. If that's not it, it was the second installment of my TR.

Thanks Shannon. I keep hoping a Dr. will give me some magic medicine...But in the mean time, I will take yours!

I have considered joining WW online. Has anyone else done this? Do you think it is worth it?

Not a problem - I've got loads of here for anyone who needs it.

I've done WW online and the tools you get are great - online points finder, online "journal" to keep track of points, activity points tracker, weight tracker. Pretty much everything you really need if you joined in person. But I find that I don't hold myself as accountable since I just have to report to a computer, rather than a person at the scale once a week. But some people don't need that extra accountability. So for me, I prefer the meetings because it re-motivates me every week and I know that I have someone to report to. Hope that helped a bit! Now go rest up!

Woooo - hooooty, Mousehouselover!

Ok, I made whole grain "busgetti" (Ronzoni Healthy Harvest) with Hunts no sugar added sauce and parmessan cheese. It was glorious! The whole grain spaghetti was SOOOO much better than I remember. I think I loved it! Very full and happy.

I made garlic bread out of hot dog buns (NOT for me though) and my kids thought I was a genius! They loved it too and they're picky.

It's an early to bed night tonight! It feels like the same as sleeping in and I need to be good to myself!

Bee good to yourself!

Bee good to others!

Bee accountable!

Bee honest!

Bee active!

Bee healthy!

Bee strong (when tempted or bored, or sad, etc)!

Hey, I have been trying to catch up on all of the "news" but by the time I'm all caught up and ready to post/reply everythings already old news and I forgot who/what I wanted to reply to.

Pigget: Congratulations.. I will pray for an easy/healthy pregnancy.

Melinda: How are things with your daughter's friend? I hope she learned her lesson. I am not looking forward to teenage years; I can only hope that I am doing as good of a job with my boys as you have done with your daughter.
You should be very proud.

Ok, I know that there is a reason that we are all here.. to support each other in weight loss goals.. so I will take a moment to congratulate everyone who has continued to strive toward a healthy lifestyle.

Now I will confess.. I dont know what is wrong with me.. everytime I make up my mind to lose weight.. I sabotage myself. Its just easier to eat whatever I want and to sit on the sofa. I know I can do this b/c I have done it before.
Please don't banish me from the peeps .. I will get with the program sooner or later.

Bee I think I read somewhere a few pages ago that you were trying the Slim Fast diet. Am I right? Hows it going? Do you like it?

Never! I wasn't an original Peeps member but I do feel confident that banishing probably isn't on the list of punishments. I can totally understand where you are coming from since I feel like I do it also at times. But the truth is, you are here and posting and we are here and reading! It might take a little while for it to click but eventually it will and it will just keep getting easier. That's what I try to tell myself anyway. We're all here for you .

OK... no banishing.

In answer to the slim fast diet... I drank one shake.. then sabataged myself. I am once again going to try and nail it down. If I dont suceed in the next few days then I am really going to do it on Monday... New Job, new rituals... everything changes for me Monday!! And I am going to do Slim Fast!!

 

[Wonders10]

So I'm feeling the need to vent about something that I have been stewing over all day. I keep thinking about it so I'm gonna just write and post it and try to get it all out.

Just a reminder, I'm a speech pathology grad student and I've just started seeing therapy clients this semester. 2 days a week I'm at a school and my supervisor who is also a prof at our university is a total nightmare. She started out and I swear now she is . I understand that everyone has their own ways of doing things and I get that we, as students, must receive some feedback (good and bad) to better ourselves as clinicians. But this lady is ridiculous. I end my day thinking I'm doing a pretty good job when she starts going over my feedback and pointing out every bad thing I did . Then when you ask her a question she jumps down your throat and makes you second guess everything you were thinking. Data collection? Don't even get me started! You have to take it on a post it - not a sheet of paper with a neatly organized chart like is taught to us during our many treatment courses - a post it! The most recent thing happened today:

For each of our clinical supervisors (I have 3), we must do a research paper based on our client. Technically, we were supposed to think of a "question" and answer it with our research, all relating to our client's treatment. I knew it was due semi-soon so I started some research on articulation therapy since I'm doing language therapy for another supervisor. This other supervisor told me that I could have a general idea of a question, do some research on it, and then finalize my research question before writing my paper. Which makes sense. To me anyway. And to this particular supervisor.

So I'm talking to my supervisor today and thinking to myself that I'm totally getting brownie points because I brought it up before she did and I already have some articles in mind. But no, I don't have a "question". I said I didn't think of one yet, I was going to read the 2 articles I had and then formulate my question. She says that I'm doing it backwards and thats not how you're supposed to do it . Is she aware that her peer and co-worker just told me otherwise? She said that it sounds like I just picked some random articles and am trying to turn it into a paper - essentially turning my couple of hours rummaging through speech and language journal articles until I found one appropriate for my clients that actually interested me a waste of time.

Whew, glad I got that out. I just really can't stand her. I'm trying to look at what she says and take what I feel I can use and throw the rest in the trash. And hopefully, I won't get her as a supervisor next semester because I think I would .

I know that in life, you will have bosses or co-workers that you can't stand. And I know that the purpose of a supervisor right now is to guide me and make sure that I don't make those little mistakes forever. But this lady needs her head checked. I swear if she gave me or the other student working there with me a compliment on anything, I'd probably have a heart attack.

Ok, vent over - but prepare for more of them because I see this lady twice a week and everytime I leave doing this .

Shannon, I hate that for you! Are you a full time grad student? Do you work somewhere too? How much longer do you have? I hope you don't get her again too.

I may look into this. The online sounds good.

This stronger Loritab is good stuff! I like it!

OCT. 14th.. I know this will not be our day b/c I will be induced--not due to medical but b/c I want as my students say the baby's daddy to be there.

DH is out of town and I would like a little way of telling him we are having our 4th. I know you guys can come up with some ideas.

Stacey go ahaead and put me down for an infant spot in January.

I second that - being able to throw away something that is bad for you can be very empowering! - not to mention good for you.

CONGRATULATIONS Pigget!!!!! Very happy for you...

I don't know if it fits your husband but sounds so sweet!

Thanks. I'm a full time student (thankfully - although it's almost impossible to work more than part time with our schedules anyway). I have actual classes 3 nights a week, planning meetings once a week, about 10 therapy clients at the school 2 days a week, and one adult client and one child client once a week each, plus regular school work, writing lesson plans, SOAPS - and revising them if needed.

If everything continues to go as planned, I will be done in May of 2008. I have another semester like this one and then I do two more semesters out in the field. I'm so ready to be done.

[aries1980]

I'm going to Disney World

We are going to visit my grandparents last minute but if I go to florida i need to go see the mouse!! So we are flying into orlando Feb 28 staying there for one maybe 2 days and then driving to Fort Lauderdale and staying there till March 6. SO excited Everyone!!!

 

[dwheatl]

Wonders, sorry for the stinky supervisor. DH and I swear that sometimes it seems the main job requirement to be put in these positions is to be a big jerk.
Hope thigns go better soon, and try to have faith in yourself.


I did poorly on the eating today. It was the 100th day of school in kindergarten, and I was dealing with a lot of snack foods and succombed. I think I was feeling sorry for myself because my ear is still and I feel very tired, so m & ms seemed like a good idea at the time. Better day tomorrow, right?

and to all the peeps.

Don't you love that Tivo/DVR/whatever you have? We have DVR. It is GREAT! And what did you think of Lost???

Don't give too much away, over here we're way behind, Kate and Sawyer are still in their cages!

Mousehouse lover Whoooooo Hooooooty!

It's snowing here and DH hasn't gone to work (you can't teach golf in the snow can you ) But DD's school is open, don't know how long for! So we're going to walk to the Supermarket to buy a few bits then we might pinch the girls sledges and go play. They got them 2 years ago and never used them so we will have to keep it a secret.

TODAY IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY!
THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR FAVORITE EEYORE!!​

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDY!​

​

We love you, Sandy.......Have a GREAT DAY!!!

 

[pigget74]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY!!!!

DH just got home at 4:30 this morning so I laid there for about 30 min and had to get up. I can't just lay in a dark room.

I will not see him until tonight--he is taking DS to pre-op appt. this afternoon and then has to work tonight. He will be here a little tomorrow and works off and on on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday we have plans to go over to some friends to finalize our trip next month. I just love these kind of get togethers.
He leaves again on Tuesday and will be back Thurs. night so I miss Valentines day with him.
Stacey thanks for the booties idea, but one problem I don't knit or sew
I think I am going to get a card this afternoon and then leave it for him tonight on his pillow. I am not that creative. Thanks for all the ideas I will let you know what I end up doing.

To be honest he probably will already know -- he keeps up with things.

WInders10sorry for your horrible supervisor--I had one like that when I was doing my student teaching. Can I say I feel your pain.

Aries1980 Good for you--have a great time.

MousehouseloverWOOOOO HOOOOTY!! on 300 posts.


EveryoneThanks for all the congratulations I think my due date will be around Oct. 8th.


HAve to go get ready for work.

 

[DisneyJo]

Happy Birthday Sandy​

HAPPY WEIGH IN'S EVE!!!

TIME FOR A GOOD COLON BLOW, PEEPS! WEIGH IN TOMORROW!!

oaky I need advice - I am counting cals now and seem to be doing a little better at staying off the binge, but I have randomly set my goal at 1500cals per day, if my goal weight is 155 don't you think that 10X my goal weight is a decent amount to shoot for without starving?

Amy........if it were me, I'd shoot for about 1800 unless you have a LOT of self discipline. I think 1800 would keep you from feeling hungry (any maybe reaching for a brownie or three) and once you lose some weight, then lower that number a little. JMHO. Did you go to the Dr. yet about the thyroid issue? My DF said the weight just fell off once she got on the meds. She sees an endocrynologist. (sp?)

Can I get a WOOO HOOOTY for 300 posts?

WOO HOOOOTTTYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Melinda: How are things with your daughter's friend? I hope she learned her lesson.

Thanks for asking....DF is fine and has suffered the kind of humiliation that will hopefully make a girl think twice about ever doing something like that again.

Now I will confess.. I dont know what is wrong with me.. everytime I make up my mind to lose weight.. I sabotage myself. Its just easier to eat whatever I want and to sit on the sofa. I know I can do this b/c I have done it before.

I know you can do it too! It does take some extra effort but you're worth it! Eat healthy for yourself but do it for your family too. Healthy changes are good for everybody and you will never regret it!

Ok, vent over - but prepare for more of them because I see this lady twice a week and everytime I leave doing this .

Shannon.....I know this won't help and here I go sounding like your mother again but sometimes the most hard nosed professors were the ones I learned the most from. I seriously hope this lady will end up being one of those teachers for you. Hang in there, sweet girl!

This stronger Loritab is good stuff! I like it!

DH had hyrochodone and it was the only thing that worked for him. Hope you are feeling better today. FYI....you are dangerouly close to 1,000 posts lady!!! Think of something smart to say!

OK I forgot to share some nice thought.....yesterday I wore the suit I could not fit into in OCtober !!! Woo Hooty!!!! I felt so enpowered I thougth I was going to ask the interviewer for HER JOB!!!! only kidding I have enough problems!

Way to go, Fidge!!! I'm so proud of you! You might just get that lady's job!

I'm going to Disney World

YYYYAAAYYYYYY for you, Christine!!!!! How exciting!!!

I will not see him until tonight--he is taking DS to pre-op appt. this afternoon and then has to work tonight.

What time is surgery tomorrow, Heather?? Prayers for DS!

To be honest he probably will already know -- he keeps up with things.

SERIOUSLY???? My husband doesn't even know when my birthday is!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!
