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

[mousehouselover]

I'm here too. I've been busy putting together a craft cart. We can't find the bit for the cordless driver and I'm having to do all the screws by hand..... Ouch! I'm about half done and wanted to be fnished hours ago. We had to go buy new screwdrivers before I could get started because the ones we had were all damaged and the phillips heads were all worn off. One of the screwdrivers was a craftsman and Sears really took it back and replaced it for free.

While we were out, I made DH stop and JoAnn's Crafts and got a few more scrapbooking goodies. I think I'm becoming addicted...... But I have a place to put all my new goodies when I'm done with the cart!

Well, I'd better get back to work..... I want to be done before I go to bed.

[harleygirl]

Ohhh noooo! Just got back on and saw this! Hope you were able to stop... how has the rest of your day been?

Naw I fell off the wagon HARD and did a face plant right in the food, oh dene it was horrible and ugly and I felt like I was making farm animal noises while I sucking down the last of DH's Dove Dark Chocs ( I dont think he's very happy with me about it either)

So tomorrow as punishment I will have Broccoli for dinner and salad for lunch...DH wants to join a gym so we are going to join Golds with Dismom and her DH (my DH's brother) then we will be one big happy sweating stinking competitive family...Dismom will kick my tail in step aerobics, I just know it...shes in much better shape than I am

I apologize for the sheer quantity I have eaten today I promise that I will be good tomorrow...

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Harley, I got into the Dove's dark chocolates tonight too

Must be something in the air . . . now I need to check the calories. I don't think I'm going to like what I find out.

Girl,I fell hard off the wagon tonight too and now DH is making noises about how he didn't.It helps that he has now joined me in the weight loss game but he can be a big pain in the ...well you get it.

You will love being able to work out with your hubby.

Oh and the step class kicks my butt but I don't get a better workout anywhere else.I can only now make it through the class without stopping.

I will be good tomorrow too...

You're one away from 500! you'll be a Dis veteran on your next post! So may I be the first to say WOOOO HOOOOTY!!!

 

[harleygirl]

I know Dis My huby has the best willpower and he can lose weight so easily...I am so jealous, but I am gonna try not to do that this time, and just be happy that he is trying to get healthy, now if I can get him to quit smoking we'll be doing something...



WOOO HOOOTYYYY!!!!!!

I am a veteran!!!

I just caught up but won't be doing any quotes.I had not gotten on all weekend and alot was said. I spent the weekend freezing my butt off at my DS11's baseball tournament.The wind was brutal but the boys didn't complain at all.

Anyone here know anything about learning disabilities? DS9 has always had a hard time with school but lately it has gotten worse.When he copies his spelling words off the board on Mondays almost all of them are misspelled and we have been assuming that he is not taking his time.Well I just looked through his notebook that holds his SS notes and the words are misspelled there too.He says that he copied them off of the board.He is insisting that he copied them exactly as they were written.For example he has urban written"ubran",population as "oppulation",etc.He also has his d and b mixed up most of the time. Maybe he is just rushing through his work but his teacher has told me that he is a very hard worker and she feels his doing the best he can. Sorry to ramble,I just now checked his grades and was disapointed to see so many bad ones.

I'm no expert, but it sure sounds like dyslexia, dismom. There are lots of experienced moms on here who might be able to help you out.

Harley, I could only find two Dove chocolates in the house or I would have eaten more! I also had a Ghirardelli mint square, but made myself stop after that.

When my DH asked if I wanted a WW ice cream bar, I was able to say no only because I figured any more chocolate and I won't be able to sleep tonight because it hypes me up

hello everyone hope all is having a good weekend.....

UM did you get your little something yet!

Ok, I am now really feeling horrible! I need a new swimsuit before our trip in may so I was looking on Lands End and decided to try out their virtual model to see what the swimsuit might look like on me. So I type in my height and weight and body shape. It comes back with a model that looks fairly close to me and then gives a message that there are no fashions available to try on my virtual model!!!!!!!!!!! Now there's a self esteem booster!!!! But I will not eat to make myself feel better, I'll just cry on my peeps shoulders, or keyboards . There now I feel a little better. But sheesh I'm a size 18/20 is that really so big? They might as well of told me I'm the dancing hippo from fantasia!

Oh harley, I've been there!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Winkers, repeat after me . . . Lands End sucks!

Feel better now?

It's terrible that they don't have any suits for you, but it may be a seasonal thing and there are lots of places out there where I'm sure you'll be able to fnd a great swimsuit. I'm MUCH larger than you and was able to find a nice suit at avenue dot com last year. Catherines and Lane Bryant usually have good selections of swimsuits on-line also.

Hi ladies and one notsogrumpyyoungdude~

I got my cart finished!!! I did it by myself! It's huge, 66 inches from side to side when I have both leaves opened. I have some pix:

I'm going to love this! I can put almost 2 whole yards of fabric on it at once! And everything folds up and I can wheel it into a corner or the front hallway to get it out of the way if I need to.

Here's a funny pic for you. It's from dinner on Fri night, DH had to help churn butter.

Now this really burns my buns......Someone broke into an animal shelter a few counties over and stole all the dog food and a good bit of the cat food. They are at full capacity and have been struggling to take care of the animals and now they don't have any food at all. If anyone would like more info, please PM me.

They have swimsuits in my size just none available to be tried on my virtual model...............I tried a smaller size and there were tons!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Your cart looks great, MHL! Happy crafting.

Please clue us in on why your DH was churning butter at a restaurant!? And did they serve it to you and the other diners afterward???

 

[mousehouselover]

We were at a re-enactment dinner, in a living history settlement. We had to help prepare the meal just like the settlers of Indiana did in 1825. We had to work for our dinner and we paid for the meal. It was fun and yes, we ate what we made. I have quite a few pictures of the kids helping out. They were the only children there and they worked as hard as the adults did. They peeled and cut veggies, ground coffee and helped clean up. DD #2 was asked to come out between courses and help make sauce for the cabbage we were served. I took several pictures of her with the cooks while they were working.

awwwww! Baby-girl! It's ok, you're gonna be alright! You are always the one to drag our sorry "bums" back on so it's our turn to do the same for you! I hope you know how much you're loved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, we've all been there. It was just your turn is all. Think about what's going on that you're stuffing down with food. Or maybe it's something as easy as PMS???


I did the same thing all week last week and gained 7 pounds!!!!! I did lose 4 of those 7 though so far.

Have fun at the gym, that almost sounds FUN (almost ). I dont have a membership because I never go. But our local gym lets you pay per visit only like $2.00, I think. And you can bring headphones and watch TV! Alrighty then!

That's an idea! I hope I dont lose the motivation before tomarrow! The boys are off school so DS17 can watch the boys while Norah naps. DH usually gets up at noon, after only 5 hours of sleep.I could NEVER in a million years work his shift. My poor baby! I get like 7 hours, maybe 8. I WISH I could have 10 hours of completely uninterrupted (no cats or kids or phones or snoring...) blissful sleep! I cant even fathom that!!!

Good Night guys! THANK YOU all for reading my Pre-Trip! I feel so loved!

Today was just the BEST day!

Well, that's just dopey, isn't it? If they have swimsuits available, they should be able to show you what they look like. I started looking at swimsuits today, and had a mini-meltdown thinking about my thighs. Oh well, they don't sell the ones like from the early 1900's that went down to your knees, so people are just gonna have to see my thighs or look away. For my trip to Reno this week, I'm going to have to wear my last year's tankini with shorts over it, because my rear put too much of a strain on the seat, and the elastic is somewhat shot, so when it gets wet you can see through it.
I've decided I'm going to do at least 1/2 hour of something aerobic everyday this week since we are on vacation and it's so hard to figure points and calories. They had a b-day cake at work Friday for all the Feb. b-days, so I felt like I had to have a piece. I cut a semi-small piece, and left most of the frosting. How the heck do you count that? So I pushed myself on the elliptical yesterday, and hope I burned off most of it.

I just added a page to my DL trippie. I hope some of you get a chance to enjoy it. I kept the food porn to a minimum.
