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

[pigget74]

Monica--thanks for the link. I knew we needed 8 glasses a day, but I thought you added another 8 for every 10 pounds not 25. Good to know--I am still shooting for 80 ounces a day. Last year when I lost a good bit I was drinking 100 ounces a day. As the article stated at first I felt like all I ever did was go to the restroom, but then I was back to the regular potty a\habits and still drinking all the water.

Have a good one.

Dance: I "wanted to tell you: "TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY" TAKE IT EASY"Cause after this baby comes, you will no longer to find that in any dictionary, encylopedia, or web search.

Take advantage of this time to take care of yourself. I hope this is just precautionary steps. But still take advantage of the dr's orders.



born2bird When I was a kid we stayed there twice. I just want to have the convenience of the monorail, walking down to Chef Mickey's for breakfast, coming back for a rest, the pool slide. Then there's the option of Kona's for breakfast too! Oh the plans I'm making! And I am considering just once having the girls go to the "sitter" and us and the boys being able to go out one night and just ride commando at the MK. No stroller, no swapping, etc.
I read the poly is a nice place for that for the kids. And it's just a monorail ride away!

pigget: The benefits of water is just endless.


Wendy: That water article I reposted somewhere on this page. Easy to find. I had the bread the least appetizing way I could. cold and dry. That way I don't want more. Crackers, that would put me over the edge.




My hormones are ragging this week!

It's the meds.

 

[UtahMama]

Yay! I did read the water article. Good information, thanks, Monica!

Hey y'all! Biggest Loser is on tonight!
I love that show (when I'm also dieting...NOT when I'm overeating, for some reason!) So, for my entertainment I love the skeewompus sisters (I know that's mean, SORRY!) And I weirdly love seeing the man-b00bs shrink and turn into pecs! When they are whining or making excuses, I relate, and do better

good to see you. Stay healthy!

Our weekend retreat went well. I ate too much but also did a lot of hiking. The weather was beautiful. I did a Kaiser survey on health and nutrition last night, and printed out the results. I haven't had a chance to read it all, but it did encourage me and make me do some soul searching. It said all I "need" to lose to be healthy is 6 lbs, so that's doable. It also asked about what is keeping me from losing the weight, and i looked at how many excuses I make. I think Kat was the one talking about black/white dieting, and I'm the same. Why does a handful of M & Ms have to be followed by ice cream, tortilla chips, and oversized servings of everything? I need to learn that one little slip doesn't have to turn into a binge-fest. And today, I worked on this; if I am tired (especially at work after the kids leave) I am entitled to sit down and relax for a few minutes without eating. Sometimes I eat as an excuse to rest. So today I put on some music, just sat down and relaxed for a few minutes, then got back to work. No junk food necessary. It worked fine.

Yup, definitely me!!

Good for you! I need to come up with non-food treats too...

 

[punkin413]

We will be there the same time!

cool! what are your dates? and we need to share itineraries when we get them done so we can look for each other if we're anywhere at the same time. we're only there for 3.5 days so i'm not sure if i'll have time for a full-fledged peep meet. it's a quickie trip just to see the major christmas stuff. oh, and we're staying off site...... I KNOW! but i found a really cute condo for only $109/night and there's plenty of room for all of us. anna (my BFF/fitness trainer) is going, along with her husband and then-4-year-old. it'll be fun!!!!

I'm still waiting to "see" a difference. It will take at least 30 pounds for me.

you will!!! those pics of me are 30 pounds difference. and i still have 2 pounds to go (at least as of yesterday - i'm sure on friday i'll weigh at least 3 pounds more than i do now!)

WDW in December...ME TOO!!

when are you going in december?

dance - hi!!! good to "see" you!

everyone - AMERICAN IDOL COMES ON TONIGHT!!!!!

 

[punkin413]

Ooh didnt know laughing cow had flavors now.Sounds yummy!

i thought i quoted you before, but i guess not! yes, the french onion is very good. i think they had one other flavor and then original. and no, i didn't know about the ice cream - i will have to check that out! right now my icre cream fix is mayfield brown cow juniors - only 100 calories each!

 

[monymony3471]

Punkin: Nov 280-Dec5 at POR and then the 6 & 7 at CR.

I have no idea what we are doing when yet. Are the park schedules out yet for those dates?

 

[dance2874]

I am sorry to read that you are having some difficulties. Thankfully, it sounds like all is well. I am so excited for you! A new baby! I miss the teeny, tiny stage. Do you know if you are having a boy or girl?

A boy this time around...name still to be determined DH and I just cant agree. Poor baby no-name!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I know I need to rest, so I am trying. Promise. It is killing me that the dresser and crib are only 1/2 assembled right now. DH started them before going in to work today and I hate that they arent done The 'nesting' bug has hit me hard this time...never got that urge with DD. Too bad I am supposed to be resting and cant fully take advantage of wanting to clean for a change!

nope. they'll come out the 1st of june, i think (6 months before). i know we're doing MK for one day, MGM (or HS now) for one day, resort hopping one day to check out the christmas decorations and MVMCP after we resort hop, and then we're going to AK the last day and leaving around 2:00 to drive back home.

 

[MA pigletfan]

Great boss!! WE do not get snow days EVER. I hope you enjoyed your "free" day.


You are going to love the "Lion King". We were blown away.

Have you tried the laughing cow ice cream? It is good stuff! If I remember correctly, only 90 calories to boot.



.

I actually did go in at noon yesterday, but i still loved that he was so cool about waiting out the storm..>AND i got my first check today..yippeee!!! I'm a big girl now! lol!
Ditto on the Lion King AND the laughing cow ice cream

I got some laughing cow earlier and stocked up on 178. worth of healthy food!

Hey y'all~

Just a fly by since it's getting late. I'm hanging out and doing pretty well. I stayed on pts today, slipped a bit yesterday but I was feeling sick so I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I haven't been on the TM since Sun. I need to stay on track. Stupid cold making me feel all icky and stopping up my nose so I can't breathe.

I'm in full fledge planning mode too. Our trip is in 4 mos!! I'm getting so excited. We found out yesterday that friends of ours are joining us this time. They've been mulling it over for a few mos and took the plunge. They're just as Disney crazy as we are. We've discussed the possibility of the moms and kids camping for a few days and the dads staying in a room. (The guys aren't big on bugs and no a/c........ weenies...... ) We're going to have a ton of fun. I do have to leave a bit of time for a peeps meet as Lynda and Kat are going to be there at the same time.

I've got to run, I'll be back in the morning.

Hi all,
I haven't posted in a few days because I haven't been feeling very peepalicious - AF is here, and I just got a bit down about the weight etc and I didn't want to put you all in my 'Fatty Funk', so I just lurked! BUT, today I am on my game, Ive made fab choices so far with breakfast and snacks AND I did my new exercise dvd so that was one hour of mad dancing and getting a sweat on!

I have read back over the pages, but forgot what I wanted to quote!

Snowwite - Hi, we've not 'met' - your year sounds a shocker BUT, as someone (Utahmama?) said - This is your year! AND, Scotland to meet a fella - good for you! Scotland is lovely and the Scottish men - Hello!

Dawn - Is it Gerard Butler who is the lead in PS I love you? Ive read the book but not seen the film yet. If its him he played Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, and yes, he was just as gorgeous in that even though he was wearing a mask!

Dawn/Mony - So cool you've booked your trips. I wish I was going back, but with the wedding etc its not to be this year! Next year is so my year for the Mouse!

Everyone else - Sorry if I've missed anything important to quote!

Im off to drink my water now, woohoo!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I don't know if I've said this yet or not.......


Congratulations Sandy! Congratulations Allie & DD! Great job!

.....

WE'RE GOING BACK TO DISNEY WORLD IN DECEMBER!!!!!

We will be there the same time!

Congratulations on your upcoming trips! It will be here before you know it. Disney World at Christmas time is awesome.

Everyone- I'm still working on my mini trip report. I'll try to post it this weekend. Nursing classes are going okay. I can start IVs now. This is my 3rd day in class and in my spare time (like I have any) I've critically read several chapters of Nursing texts that amounts to about 18 hours of study time. I am so ready for Summer.

Later,
Fran

A boy this time around...name still to be determined DH and I just cant agree. Poor baby no-name!

Dh and I were the same with our first son's name and finally agreed on Ian but with our second we both immediately decided on Ethan. Baby boy No-name is good too...

I read the poly is a nice place for that for the kids. And it's just a monorail ride away!

Chef Mickey's is wonderful. They have the best character breakfast. I really wish we could have sprung for a monorail resort but the $$$ was just too much. We need to buy a minivan and DH is insisting that is more of a priority... I am taking my parents an il's with us this time and both have agreed to babysit for us one night so DH and I can have some time to ourselves to hit the BIG rides.

I understand the "fatty funk" all too well and it really is a downer. IT sounds like you are back on track and kicking butt. Go you!!

Punkin, We will be in WDW 30 Nov - 7 Dec and are staying at the SSR. DIL's will be bedding down at the CR though so we will be there quite a bit as well. We are going to do MVMCP as well. We did it in 2006 and it was a blast!!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Hi all! I've tried skimming through the last 10+ pages since I've somehow managed to fall WAY behind here. I didn't think to quote, so I'll try to do this from memory (scary thought!)

Congrats to our runners! Just the thought of running around my back yard for 10 minutes exhausts me. You are truly an inspiration!

Mony - Two things. First off, you'll be surprised how quickly you'll notice a change. I promise it won't take 30 pounds. But it'll just hit you one day. You'll look in the mirror and think "hey, maybe this dieting thing is actually working!" Second - I'm very biased on this but I LOVE the Contemporary. Like I said though, I'm biased. We stayed there for our honeymoon, and again last September. We love the convenience of walking to and from the Magic Kingdom instead of waiting for a bus or monorail; this is especially nice as you get closer to park closing. Plus, Epcot is just a few short monorail rides away.

Punkin - You are going to love the Lion King musical. I was blown away by the sheer awesomeness of it. In fact, we liked it so much when we saw it 6 months ago that we are going to see it again (different venue) in February. I've seen many a play and musical, and this was far and away the best I've even seen.

I had to DVR AI last night since Biggest Loser was on. I was very happy with the outcome of The Biggest Loser last night. The dude on the white team was frustrating me with his lazy attitude. I understand it is difficult, but quit getting upset about not posting big numbers when you aren't working as hard as everyone! The purple team seems to be working their tails off, they just aren't losing. So they deserved to stick around for another week.

I know I'm forgetting quite a few people here. So to everyone who needs them, and to everyone that deserves them!

I'll take a cheer, anyday!

WASN'T that a good episode of BL? I loved it! I'm so happy that they seemed to all get over their humps. That would stress me out, being weighed on National Television wearing what they wear. I am sooooo glad white team got booted. Especially after the white team guy saying that his wife is the better speaker and she can do the water works (cry) to gain sympathy. She seemed to work hard and he was an excuse maker. Makes me NOT think of him when I feel like making excuses. I have never in my life worked out so hard I puked or fell to the ground exhausted...they do it daily it seems!

I sort of want the blue (strangers) to hook up! They're kind of cute together.






Hey! I have a super easy and great meal idea for all y'all!
VERY filling and I think it would work for any of the diets we're doing:

Stir Fry Vegetables sold at Walmart (I guess there's similar ones) in the 16 oz. size. The nutrition info says it's 6 servings (like for side dish) but I do the whole bag and it makes 2 substantial meals. 30 calories each serving (x6 for whole bag) if you stir "fry" it with PAM and a little water. I think if you added a little lean beef or chicken and some low sodium soy sauce it would be several meals to have on hand.

I bought several varities. The one I like the most is the broccoli stir fry one. It has cauliflower, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, carrots, corn (I eat around the corn for now) water chestnuts, and red peppers.


I got this idea while in the frozen food area and was discouraged at the prices of the so-called lower carb meals. The whole bag of veggies was only a little over $1.50


Just though I'd share!

 

[UtahMama]

Dang! Where IS every body?

I make this a lot! I get the Asian stir fry jumbo bag at Sam's Club. Lasts a long time. I usually add chicken to it and I use a little olive oil and lite soy. Sometimes I change it up with a little balsamic vinegar.

I don't really watch this show. It makes me feel like I am not doing enough and it discourages me? Does that make sense?

When I lost the weight before I got rid of my largest sized clothes. I just left what I was just getting out of. Then I got pregnant, gained all my weight back pretty much and now it's going to take 30 pounds to get in the normal clothes. I am sitting here wearing maternity jeans cause that's all I got that fits. I REFUSE TO BUY CLOTHES I WILL ONLY WEAR TEMPORARY.

I hope the 2 nights/3 days are worth it. I do love the contemporary. It holds lots of memories for me.

Mom brought over a meatloaf. I was like, yes I can have that. She cuts a few slices and I'm like what's all these white things? She said she had left over hashbrowns and she put them in the mix.

I stood there staring. Ack?, potatoes I was thinking, then I knew that would put me in a binge. So I put it back and made a salad!

What will power I have!!!!!!! Cause I can eat hashbrowns morning noon and night.

Can I get a woot woot?

Can I get a woot woot?
