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

[aldisneygrl]

OMG! I'm at the thought of your dog locking you out of your car at the gas station! I wasn't around here when that happened! What on earth did you do?

I may have to go searching in the depths of the Peep thread again, and go dig up that post again. It is hilarious now, but not so much at the time. It was January, and she was locked in the car with my keys and my cell phone. I'll go looking for it later, and post it after work. It is really funny!

Didn't we do this last year?

[SingingMUA]

Good Morning everyone...

Hi SINGINGMUA, hope you've been doing well! Is it cold up there? It's always hard for me to fathom the idea of living with "cold" weather, I mean the cold where it's so cold it hurts to feel body parts. But during the summer when it's hot as hades outside here, and you literally break into a sweat the minute you leave the AC, it's makes me go hmmmmm, might be a good time for a trip!

Hi Majic...

Thanks for asking... I've been doing better. I know I recently posted how I have not been doing so well. I think I have overcome my recent bout of depression, I'm so thankful for having caring friends and a wonderful SO (Significant Other).

The weather here in the DC metro area is as crazy as ever. Those of you who may be familiar with the DC area probably know that the weather here can go back and forth VERY quickly, especially during the change in seasons.

It was 67 degrees a couple days ago. And this morning when I woke up, the weather man said that the temperature had just dropped 10 degrees in ONE HOUR down to 55 from 65.... and getting cooler.

So we haven't gotten any "real" cold weather yet, we are still on the crazy roller coaster ride that is fall in DC. It should start getting "cold" for real here in about a couple weeks.

And summer in DC is notoriously HUMID also...


*making a mental note to stop lurking so much and start posting more*

Good Morning PEEPS!!

Thank you to everyone for the super, warm welcome! This is why I love fellow Disney nerds, we are such nice people .

Kat (my first peep welcomer),If I can hide from my boss long enough today, my goal is to go back 20 pages. Wish me luck! The sneak is always lurking. LURKING I tell ya! I don't understand why I can't just sit here and enjoy my day.

Pigget, Back-to-back babies, I feel your pain. Mine are 21 months apart and I have the badonka butt and lovehandles as proof. You have my utmost respect having had 4. God bless you, woman. I considered three but then was concerned about my DH and I being outnumbered. I hope your little guy is feeling better.

Pakey, DISing at 1:00, it is only 9:30am here and I am already at it. I am so going to get fired one day. I like the no more ebay rationale, I will be using that when DH starts hounding me. Thanks for the tip.


SingingMUA, my fellow Marylander!! Nice weather we are having... I guess we are no longer in a drought. I am ready for some snow. Are you anywhere near Annapolis?

aldisneygirl, Yay, another masochist trying to run. It is nice to know I am not the only one suffering. I just re-started the Couch to 5K program after a 2 month hiatus following a knee injury. I don't enjoy it yet but I keep chanting, "I am a runner, I love to run" in the hope that I will one day believe it. I REALLY hope to do the WDW 5k in 2009. This year I will be cheering you and DD on from the comfort of my couch, I mean treadmill. BTW, yay to TIVO and DVRing.

Majicntheair, It's too late I am already addicted. It is bad, really, bad. I love your avatar, very cool. I noticed you are going to be stying at the Coronado in December. I was there in July and it was a lot of fun! The pool is a huge hit with the shorties.

Monymony,Baby number 2 was a BIG surprise so I am not ready for anymore surprises anytime soon. If it happened, I would of course be elated. Terrified, but elated nonetheless


DisneyLaura,There should be a 12-step program. Your little ones are adorable. Two big brothers...your DD will be well taken care of Albuterol is a nasty one. They gave it to my 3 year old son in a nebulizer 2 weeks ago for what they originally thought was asthma/bronchitis. We didn't sleep for 2 days. I took him back to our regular doctor and he told us he does not have asthma or bronchitis and that there is a "mycroplasm" going around right now that causes its victims to cough for 6-8 weeks. They gave us robitussen with codein for night time and he is MUCH better. I hope your little man is feeling well again soon.

UtahMama, I will be digging out and dusting off the scale tomorrow.scared: Ugghhh, just the thought makes me want scream. My plan is to count calories. It has worked for me in the past so I will stick with what I know. I am sticking to 1200-1500 a day (sidenote: I am also a vegetarian). I also spend 2 hours, 3-4 times a week at the gym. Of course I do this from 9 - 11pm because my babies are asleep and I don't have all that mommy guilt hanging over my head. Let me just say that the FREAKS come out at night. I have named all of my fellow gym rats and let me tell you, it is an interesting group.

MRNsMommy,11 weeks old...congrats! My youngest is 19 months and I have a hard time remembering what 11 weeks was like. It is so much fun. Exhausting, but fun. I gained a whopping 54lbs with the first (damn steak fries craving. Sidenote: I ate 5lbs of steak fries a week!!!) and was almost at my pre-pregnancy weight when I found out I had another on the way. I gained 32lbs with my youngest and am trying to lose that plus the reaminder of what I had gained with baby #1.

Lexmelinda, Thanks for the tip!! According to the formula you gave me I am not eating enough calories. Is that possible? I am doing the calorie count method and have been sticking to 1200-1500 a day...hmmm?

Whew, that is a long one!! Thanks again everyone. I will post my loss/ gain next week since this Friday will be my starting weight. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

[eeyore45]

gee wilakers peeps!!! Thanks everyone for keeping me in the loop by quoting and asking all those important how is questions!!

I've returned to work, first time in 2 weeks, and I'm still a tad dizzy (dh drove me.. and will pick me up!) Its a jr hi (6-8) extra film class - rotation, so I knew I could handle it- they are showing this film - and honestly - you have to see this film!!

The Emperor's Club - (Kevin Kline I think - i"m only watching the last 20 min - 5 times today!!) IF we live in a society where the lines of ethics and integrity are drawn shakily - where most kids watch "inappropriate" shows (adult humor, the ones which I happen to love.. but I was swimming up stream 12 years ago when I wouldnt allow my young boys to watch the Simpsons till High school, etc... Boy Scout in me...) DS 22 has such hard problems at Uof I he is in the Student Police - and he gets "ganged up on" because he is a sticler of rules (he patrols at night, most of the others study, or nap somewhere - who would know the difference? ethics.. integrity)

This movie highlights that, esp today, where kids see nothing wrong with cheating (2nd graders cheat on spelling tests!! please, its not that important I tell them...)

gotta run!! ITS like Remember the TItans!!

Ugh... this weather... ESPECIALLY today... is really annoying me. I can deal with rain if I have to, I can deal with wind if I have to, I DO NOT like having to deal with both at the same time, especially when it's getting cold... I'm like you, I wish it would just hurry up and get cold already... that is, until I get sick of it and I'm ready for summer again

I am in Montgomery County, about 10 - 15 mins away from the DC Line. I just recently moved to MoCo from PG County. I'm about 30-40 mins from Annapolis (depending on how closely I'm following those pesky "speed limit" signs... )

 

[SingingMUA]

Woohoo! I made the FIRST POST on page 1420...

Sorry, just felt like celebrating that for some reason...

 

[Pakey]

Good morning peeps. My dog, Andy, had eye surgery yesterday pm so wasn't able to have dinner last night and he woke me up early this morning crying "FEED ME". So I'm making another rare early appearance at work today.

Melinda How many calories are burned when typing on the DIS? I know you have the calorie thing down to a science so you gotta know how many calories I'm burning a day. No wonder my weight loss has been so successful so far.

Nikki You are the empress of multitasking. I've got 2 23" side by side monitors and I still can't do all that you are trying to do. My OCD would go nuts trying to control it all.

Allie Love the Trixie story. I'm not telling my babies, Paris Hairless and Andy, about it through because I'm afraid they might try it. I will never leave them unattended in there again for fear that this could happen to me.

Tia We are still wearing t-shirts here in middle Calif.--the weather is gorgeous. I do remember that humidity in DC when we visited there--almost as bad as the South.

Danielle Glad the conference went well. I had to chuckle over the part where last year's teacher wasn't as nice. Gosh, I wonder why?

Kim Successful lurking at work requires precision desk positioning. I rearranged my office and have my left monitor (where I DIS) at an angle so that it would be very difficult for anyone to actually see that screen. I'm the boss because I'm a smart cookie.

To everyone else, I hope you are having a good Thursday. I'll be doing debt analysis all day at work today if any of you are interested in dropping by for a fun day!!!

I booked my Disneyland Paris package yesterday. Do you know they have VIP fastpasses at that park? I booked the Disneyland Hotel (which the CM said is like the Grand Floridian) and I got VIP fastpasses with the room level I selected (the terminology is different but I think it's concierge level--I just wanted those fastpasses).

And I sent off the check yesterday to pay for our second DVC addon--175 more BeachClub points. DH is still a little disgruntled over that decision as we already have more points that we normally use in a year. I just don't think there is such a thing as too much Disney. And in two months, I'll be at WDW.

I hope everyone works hard for the weigh in tomorrow.

Faith

Hello!!

I happened upon Utah Mama's TR wave2:, UM) and she said such nice things about everyone on this thread that I just had to check it out!

WELCOME!!!!!! you'll love it here....it moves rather quickly but we forgive you if you just skim!

Enjoy the FOX. It is soooooo beautiful inside there! Enjoy Tori!

i took some decent pics of the fox and will post them later.....such a gorgeous venue!!! and the show was incredible. i got like 4 of my favorite songs so i was happy! i'll post some pics later.

The Dr. said that Joshua's lungs are much better. When we first got there he was a madman for the nurse. Throwing a great fit and just being mean--not like him. She immediatly said it is the Orapred Steroid doing this. Five minutes after she left he curled up and was going to sleep when the Dr. came in. Number 3 nap for the day. He thinks he is sleeping so much 1) the illness has finally caught up with him and 2)We are weening him from the steriods and that is making him tired. He has a great case of THRUSH and so that is why he is refusing to eat. This is again because a combination of the steroids and because he has been on medicine since Oct. 12th. He is asleep already and I hope this does not make for a long night. DH called from Califonia to check on him and Rebekah---I am ready for March to be here and he will be done traveling for a while. I am just worn out but I guess it could be a lot worse so I should count my blessings.

you poor thing! i'd babysit for ya if i lived closer!

and yes, i am DONE christmas shopping!!!!! okay....maybe not completely, but 99% done. see, i'm going home (tennessee) for thanksgiving this year (we switch it up between thanksgiving and christmas every year) and so i'm giving my family all their presents then. so that meant i had to be pretty much done with my shopping by thanksgiving. i have a BIG family and they mostly live in TN. ray's family is here, but it consists of 4 people so the shopping for them is nothing. and i'm almost done with that, too! i HATE subjecting myself to holiday shopping crowds. it puts me in a bad mood. people can be EVIL at christmas time because they're so stressed out and i refuse to take any part in the holiday madness!!!!

sherman is limping and i can't figure out why. we're gonna give him until the end of the weekend to get better and if not, i'll be taking ANOTHER trip to the vet. he's getting old so his joints are probably just bothering him. i hope it's something as simple as that!

it's COLD here today! last night i wore a sweater and i was hot and today it's freezing. i really dislike cold weather.....i don't like to feel pain when i step outside!

hope everyone has a good day-before-weigh-in! i stepped on the scale this morning and had gained 4 pounds since i posted a few days ago about being 1 pound from my goal!!! i think there are three reasons for this. one: i had a mojito and a white russian last night, plus a lot of food at dinner plus a hot dog (soooooo not good for the diet!!!) on the way home. that's not like me at all and i can't get mad at myself for giving in every now and then! two: AF's here right now. three: you know that theory i have about when your muscles are sore it's sort of like retaining water because your muscles have a buildup of acid in them? well, i think i'm right!!! my abs, calves and back are SO SORE today because we did a new workout tuesday night. i hope i'm at least a samer tomorrow!!!!! that means i have to lose 3 pounds by then!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Good Day everyone!
So far so good..although i must say i am getting tired of being without a job. I actually filed for unemployment this morning, although I am not sure if i will get it since I left under duress..but i believe it was Pakey that told me it was worth a shot, so I went for it..we'll see. The unemployment office is super busy this time of year though..i hope if i do qualify it kicks in before christmas! I believe i will be starting a full time job in January though, so that is a very good thing!

Went to Curves this morning...after i pre-weighed and saw the number was about 1.8 higher than last week ..i hope that somehow goes away before tommorow morning..I'll tell ya one thing..i am drinking my H2O and going to try and get some extra fiber in today!!
Have a good one everyone!!

 

[punkin413]

i thought you guys would get a slight smile (maybe even a laugh) outta this. i was just uploading pics off my camera and i forgot about this one. this was taken saturday night after the reception (the one that became the bane of my existence for a few days). remember that we had 1/2 a keg of miller lite at our house at this point. the shells that ray is holding are some seashell bowls i ordered to use at the reception - anna and chris went with a beach theme since they were married on the beach. anyway, i had just finished washing them and ray decided they weren't bowls at all, but that instead he was going to use them to do his best immitation of ariel. he proceeded to hold them over his chest and start singing, "under the sea" and dance around the room. now we all know ariel DOESN'T sing that song but ray's a disney newbie, so i can understand his confusion. besides, i love that he made the effort! anyway, you know i had to share the picture.

 

[born2bird]

I have had so much water today I am spending more time in the little girls' room than at my desk. TIP: I have started using Benefiber in my water to help get the needed amount in my diet. It seems to help quite a bit.

Eeyore, I missed what happened, but I hope you are feeling better soon. My brother didn't understand why I wouldn't let my 3 year old watch "Family Guy" I can only imagine what he would pick up from that show and share with his peers at the catholic pre-school he attends. I can just see the letter that would come home...


SingingMua It is really getting depressing. I need some sunlight soon. I love downtown Annapolis. Occasiionally, we have Sunday brunch at Buddies. However, I do not recommend it if you are watching calories. The waffles and omlettes are to die for...YUM! And I wonder why I can't lose weight...

Pakey That's a good tactic. I live in a cube so I have limited room to play with. I have a cool office mate though. She made the mistake of going on vacation last month so we shrink wrapped her desk and chair and then filled it with packing peanuts... It was great!!

Punkin I feel you on the Christmas shopping madness. That is why I do most of my shopping online. I loathe the mall. Good luck with those 3lbs though it sounds like it is probably water retention from the food and alcohol. I bet if you really load up on the water it will be gone.

Pigletfan I feel for you! I was out of work for about 3 months and it is so stressful. It sounds like you have things lined up for the new year though. Good luck with the weigh-in tomorrow!

Cheeers,
Kim

Oh my gosh! That was my job in college! Well, we called it Campus Patrol (which was under supervision of the Police Department). I *LOVED* that job. It was the best time I had in college, suprisingly. I dunno... maybe it's something about growing up and being an adult, but I'd give anything to live in a dorm, have my days all laid out for me and be able to enjoy my job again. Ok- well, maybe not so much live in the dorm - but to have a job that I look forward to go to is what I miss most. Your son just needs to remember that I'm sure his hard work isn't going un-noticed and to keep his head up.
Kinda - Believe me - I was the only girl for about a year and a half, and I was that girl who fought to be seen the same as the guys. I didn't want to be treated any differently. For me, it was like having 9 brothers, who would do anything for me. I even met my exDBF there, infact that's now where he's a Police Officer. It's not an easy job - especially when your friends get busted for stuff and they take it out on you. The experience your son is gaining is worth it's weight in gold.

Kim, I wonder some days why I am not fired either. On Monday we move to a new building and I am hoping that my DIS-ing won't be too interrupted.

Exercise is a huge pain in the butt for me too. I am not a runner (had rheumatoid arthritis when I was a kid so I avoid high-impact), but I try to hit the ellipitical/arc trainer for at least 30 min, 5-6 times a week, as well as weight train. I was playing ice hockey but the $$$ has sidelined me for now.

I stick to under 1500 calories. I was doing 1200-1400, until I got derailed in Sept (WDW trip!), and it seemed to work for me. For my jumpstart I have started Alli, and am trying to go more toward 1400-1500 just since some calories are likely lost.

I really wish this day were over already.

 

[zigzagzerr]

So....I went to my annual gyn exam yesterday, no big deal.

Except that the doctor found something.

And is sending me for a mammogram. She told me not to worry (yeah, okay ). I have an appointment in 2 weeks. I know I'm probably getting all worked up about nothing, but even so....it's a little bit scary.

So any good thoughts you can send my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just so you know, 9 out of 10 will come back with nothing wrong (unfortunately for me, I was the 1 of 10 where it did). The waiting and worrying is the worst. Just try to remember that there is nothing you can do to change the outcome--no amount of worrying you do between now and then is going to make a difference. Your gyn doctor does not specialize in breast lumps so she is just doing her job and having it checked out by someone who knows what they are doing. Many many women have lumps naturally.

At this time last year, I was so scared, more than I've ever been in my life (I got my biopsy results the day after Christmas-- ho-ho-ho). But in this past year, I have learned a lot about this stuff and there really isn't much to fear anymore.

But I will be sending you my pink-ribbon special pixie dust anyway.

DUH### and ooops

I posted from school without thinking - and I'm automatically logged in ... as eeyore45 - so for our newbies (love you guys - thanks for jumping in!!! and I know I havent enough - but I thought it!!)

eeyore45 = Sandy321 = ME I've never liked the name eeyore, but when I first discovered the Dis, I thought and thought and decided like eeyore "thanks for noticing me" because surely, I wouldnt "hang" around after our Disney trip... that was a few years ago!!

I'm Sandy, mom to 3 angels, 2DS that are hard of hearing, eldest wears hearing aids, ds#2 just has a mild loss, not discernable... then along came dd - SURPRISE - we're blessed, she's now 11, DS#1 is 22 and will be wed Jan '09, he and his dfiance (ie fdil - future daughter in law) bought a condo - and are moving in on Sat. DS#2 is 19 - and is majoring in music, the Bassoon!! (I get a kick out of that!) both are Eagle Scouts, both want to teach. DD is trying to figure out how we can get her to skip the 5th grade... she's so bored!

DH and I have been married 26 years, and often go on dates, and mis comunicate, and make up. I'm blessed. right now we're to be training for the Disney Marathon in Jan '08... but I've been having major dizzy spells, and dh has been working overnights to help me during the day... picking up dd from school etc...

I'd post a pic, but cant stay online right now...

ciao Peeps!!
