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

[dance2874]

Hey everyone...we made it home late last night!

To all the peeps from the meet- It was so nice to have met you all, even though it was brief. DD chose that exact moment to have her first meltdown of the trip, which considering we had been on the go since very early Friday was good I guess. I was so dissapointed we had to leave before dinner. (I told Aries DH on our way out, he was witness to the beginnings of it, but I dont know what he relayed back to everyone. You can see from the pic that she was starting to melt down and laying her head back in the stroller refusing to look at the camera.) She had that one and one other at MGM on Monday and both centered around her deciding she wasnt going to eat....and she had not eaten much either day causing her mood to be very tricky. She was also over tired, and had just been asleep in the stroller when we arrived at Ohana.

Otherwise she was an angel, and I was very lucky! It was HOT and she was very patient with me when I said I needed to rest or take a break out of the heat. It really got to me. And then baby on board decided it was going to lay on my sciatic nerve on Sunday night and has not moved....and my left leg is numb fom my hip to my knee Thank god for the stroller....it doubled as a walker for me those last 2 days I promise to share some pics when I can get my camera to cooperate.

A special thanks to Sandy for sharing her DD with us!! Amanda loved it and she LOVES Pal Mickey. She carried him the whole time and was so tickled every time he said something to her. She also is still talking about the "robot ride" (aka Carousel of Progress) and was singing the song quite a bit. Made me see it at least 3 more times before we left, but at least I like it too and it was air conditioned there

Sorry I didnt get to email you Mony! We never made it to where you could do that at Epcot!


On a much sadder note, while we were gone our kitty that was so sick (and had made some progress) took a turn for the worse. I had a feeling it was coming and had said 'goodbye' to her in my own way before leaving, but she was very bad off by monday night. DH had to take her in to have her put to sleep yesterday before we got back, there was not much else the vet could do to make her comfortable and we were sort of prolonging the inevitable. I know she is better off not in pain but I am having a hard time dealing. Even though my head is telling me it was best, my heart is telling me otherwise right now. Her 2 brothers are still here and of course missing her too. I really lost it when we pulled into the driveway last night and it hit me she would not be inside waiting for us.

In memory of my sweet Leia:

(please ignore the piles of junk behind her. She loved hanging out where I sorted the laundry )

Welcome Home! Glad that DD was relatively well behaved for you on your trip. Bummer that you missed out on dinner though...at least you got to meet everyone! Can't wait to see some pics!

And so sorry about Leia....she is a beautiful kitty! I had to put my cat down after having her pretty much my whole life (got her when I was 5 and she died 18 years later). Not fun, but she is in a much better place now - "Barking" at birds and eating lots of tuna

Hi there. I've been reading many of these posts and it sounds like you guys really help each other and I was wondering if I could join in.

I've had weight issues my entire life from one extreme to the other. I spent the last three years working hard to get my weight down and then I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer last year. After the grueling months of chemotherapy, I started eating like crazy and managed to gain back all of the weight I had worked so hard to lose these past 3 years, plus about a 5 pound increase over where I had started. Because of the breast cancer, I must have a very low fat diet now. So that's what I'm doing for health reasons and hopefully to remove some weight. I've lost 8 pounds so far which is very good for me.

I'm cancer free and loving life these days but I would love life more if I could drop 40 pounds!!!!!

welcome you will love this thread.

sorry about your kitten i have been meaning to tell you i love your dd lilo dress.. so cute..

 

[dwheatl]

Danielle - WHat a wonderful girt you have those outfits are perfect!

I wish! It was Misty. And I agree

I am almost back to normal.

I still have my infection, but man what I went through.

Sunday: My mom is taken to the emergency roonm. She thinks she's having another stroke. They admit her and do a bunch of tests. No stroke but heart concerns, keep her to find out whats going on. Today they do a proceedure to see why her left bundle branch is blocked. They see her right caratid artery is 90% blocked and they open her up with a stint. I think I got the terminology right. She called and talked with me and she's laying down and feels ok. All this going on with my mom while I am dog sick.

I went to the dr on Monday. Mine's out so I see his associate. He examines and manipulates me and says I don't think it needs anything, but lets give you a mega does of antibiotics. So I get a shot. They monitor me for 20 minutes and then let me go. Since Friday I had a fever of 103-104 until Monday morning. At the dr. they get a reading of 99. I cried everytime the baby latched on that side and during the whole feeding time. I don't know what he did but it felt so much worse.

Go home. Pass out. Wake up all sweaty and sick. Like I just don't want to eat, and don't want to open my eyes. On day 9 of my headache. My vicodins aren't touching this headache. I just want to drill a hole in my head and let it out. I'm shaking with the chills or I'm taking a bath in my sweat. I just jump back and forth.

Tuesday night my headache just stops. Just like that. Earlier in the day I am laying on bags of ice, no joke, and getting no relief.

I still have a slight pain in the breast. But it is very tolerable. I do have a vertigo sensation going on and I still am somewhat sweaty. I don't sweat this much when I work out. So, I must have picked up something nasty. I have a congested cough that I can finally do. I wouldn't dare cough while I had the headache I thought my head would pop. Literally.

This is the sickest I've ever been in my life. After my apt follow up on Friday I am asking them how soon I can wean. I never want to feel like that again.

Hope you feel better soon. That's scary stuff.

So sorry about your precious kitty.

The story of your DD reminded me of mine on her first trip to WDW. She got mad about something and turned her back on the entire Aladdin parade, including the spitting golden camels! Then she got into hugging the characters, but couldn't understand why we wouldn't let her hug the security guard who was a little person (DH and I were mortified).

When DS used to lodge himself into uncomfortable positions in my womb, the OB/Gyn told DH to talk to him, and it did the trick every time. DH would lay his head against my tummy and say, "Baby, get off of Mommy's nerve," or "Get your feet off of Mommy's ribs."

I just rode the exercise bike while watching "The War" on PBS. It's pretty amazing, but it also makes me wonder when humans will stop hating and killing. I doubt it will be in my lifetime, but I pray that day will come.

OK, back to weight loss. I pledge to write down everything I eat tomorrow. I've been lax about it lately.

Have a skinny day, and spread some love. (Yes as a matter of fact, I did graduate from Berkeley, but I'm not old enough to be a real hippie!)

 

[pigget74]

Good Morning all. Hope that everyone has a great day before weigh in.

PAKEY welcome. Glad that you joined us. I was participating then got pregnant. Will be back on the team soon enough. You will find wonderful supportive people here. Congrats on beating the cancer.

Dance sorry your DD did want to cooperate with the group. It amazes me how kids know just he perfect time to decide to be stubburn or stronge willed. Also, sorry about your KITTY.

Today is my last day until after Thanksgiving at work. I thought all along I was only taking 6 weeks and then Thanksgiving week we are out--making it a total of 7 weeks. Well when I was getting bellwork ready for the sub I realized October has 5 weeks. SO I am taking off 7 weeks plus Thanksgiving giving me 8 weeks I stilll have a lot to get accomplished today at work. Realized at 4 this morning I made the wrong amount of copies for my assignments. HAve to get that done first thing this morning. My sub will be here this afternoon to pick up the entire amount of work for while I am gone. I thought I was OCD. I am used to giving a weeks worth at a time so I will know where we need extra help and so forth. THis should work.

TOmorrow is my ME DAY!!!!! Starting with a cut and color, then a mani and a pedi, then ending my day with a nice pre labor massage. I am looking so forward to this. I have not done anything like this ever. I will occasionaly get a pedicure in the Spring and if I am really battling with migraines might get a massage just to help loosen up. I get a color job done about every 2.5 to 3 months just because I do not like to pay the money.

Since DH is gone I need to finish getting ready and have the kids up soon. Have a great day everyone.

 

[the Fidge]

Happy Thursday!!!! YEAH one day till Firday not like I am rushing the week or anything! OK I have to find DS homework and agenda for school, gee I hope I get good grades ! What a schuch. OK so what great food do you snack on that doesn' taste like dirt that gives you a pcik me up without a ton of cals?? Instead of tea I will be doing some jumping jacks EEEEKKK!!!! Have a great day!

Hi everybody! Welcome Pakey!

I'm sending pixie dust and well-wishes to all of you who are struggling to lose weight, feel better, gain health, and spread the love!

Tonight "The Office" premieres on NBC. I happen to love this show and recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it before...from what I gather, it's a love or hate kind of program. I'm in the "love" crowd!

Since tomorrow's weigh in day, I'm going to record everything I eat today. I've never tried that before but maybe some (bad) habits will become glaringly obvious and I can fix them. I think I snack a whole lot more than I realize.

SORRY I've been hit or miss with posting but I've gained a third child (my nephew) and we're all getting used to a new schedule. That makes a 3 year old, 18 month old, and 8 month old...and me. I know others are doing it and have done it and hey - it'll get better, right?

Have a BEAUTIFUL Thursday!

 

[MA pigletfan]

When I got cancer, I made a list of things that I was going to do if I lived. I'm a 50 year old workaholic with a high stress position (Chief Financial Officer in a large company) and I realized that I wasn't living my life. So back to the list. Some of the things on there are small (get a tattoo, never drive over the speed limit again) and some are life changing (only work 60 hours a week, get a dog). And then there is Disneyland Paris. So I have already booked the trip for next year and told my husband after I had booked it that we were going. He's easygoing. Which is a good thing because the dogs (had to get two so one wouldn't be lonely) have been more life-changing than the cancer!!!!!

I'm happy to be joining in here and hopefully it will keep me on the right path. If you guys can remind me once a week that nonfat yogurt tastes just as good as ice cream, I'll be a devoted fan forever.

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!! You really will love it here...

YAY ..i am so happy the office is coming back tonight. It is one of my favorites..i am DYING to know if something is going on with Jim and Pam..finally!
I actually have been writing down everything i eat for the past few weeks. Its very helpful with my keeping track of calories and i like to look back and see what i have consumed and how much activity i did and see how it relates to the #s on friday...I can't believe tommorow is weigh in again! I have been on point with cals all week and doing my workout routine, so here is hoping something goes Bye-Bye!

 

[the Fidge]

Dance- so sorry about kitty, I truly understnad and mine also loved the laundry room her favoirte hangout. I still look for her to pop out of the laundry every now and again. I have always found cats to have an amazing affect on the human condition. My prayers for you and your family she was a pretty kitty.

MOnica - glad you are surving through a crazy week. Glad you had a chance to post int he middle of mayhem. Hope you and your Mom are ont he mend soon.

Danieele - heck take the credit I gave ya!

OK I am trying to decide something here and would love some feedback. I am planning our annual DH and DS b'days in WDW but ehres my thoughts:
we ususally do a week but DH wants 10 days. Rhater than the 10 days why not book the week in April and then a week in Spet for some free dining and DS won't miss as much heavier school work than 2 weeks in April?? Would love your thoughts on it.....

 

[the Fidge]

SongeMommie Misty-sorry I gave Danielle your toufits and all the credit!

They are great and I can't iamgine pulling off the princess dress. Truly gifted and talented you are I can't wait to see the finsihed work. I even showed DH the pics and he was even wowed. LEt me tell you the man doesn';t get wowed by much. Maybe a Giants or MEts win but thats aobut it!

ONe of the reasons I relally would lvoe to droip alot of this weight would love to wow the man again!

Welcome aboard! You seem to be of strong character! After ye warsh the deck, you can join our crew! RRRRRRRRRRR.

Seriously

Dance sorry about the kitten

pigget: enjoy your me day! YOu so deserve it!

 

[dance2874]

spongemommie05-thanks for the comment on her dress. I am very proud of that creation. She wore it to breakfst with Lilo and it was so neat because Lilo was wearing the red dress that day, the same one she is wearing in the fabric on DD's dress.

TOmorrow is my ME DAY!!!!! Starting with a cut and color, then a mani and a pedi, then ending my day with a nice pre labor massage. I am looking so forward to this. I have not done anything like this ever. I will occasionaly get a pedicure in the Spring and if I am really battling with migraines might get a massage just to help loosen up. I get a color job done about every 2.5 to 3 months just because I do not like to pay the money.

OOOH! I am so jealous of the ME day! I need to plan one of those!! Hope you have a easy last day at work.

OK I am trying to decide something here and would love some feedback. I am planning our annual DH and DS b'days in WDW but ehres my thoughts:

I saw go for 2 separate weeks....but free dining may not be as great as it has been since they are changing the dining plan For us it would be because we do very few dinners that require tipping, lots of character buffets for us. If you use the TS credits for the fancier places though, you have to plan for tipping which sort of eliminates the convenice factor if you ask me. I love not having to plan for that or budget extra money for it.


Thanks for all the hugs for kitty too. She was 10, and a big part of the family of course. I really am surprised at how hard it is hitting me. Pregnancy hormones are probably playing a small role in that I am sure.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning All!

Pakey...Welcome and Congrats on being cancer-free!!! The weight will come back off!

Dance...I am sorry about your kitty. We had to put down our dog in Aug and it was very hard. I never thought I would want to be there when it was done, but I was able to hold her as they gave her the injection. We both know they are better off and no longer in pain, but it's so hard to say good-bye!

Mony....Sounds like you are on the mend. Those infections can be horrendous!! Praying for your Mom and her recovery.

Fidge...I would go for 2 separate weeks! Two trips to Disney are better than one!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Hey everyone... I am finally back from WDW. I am not going to try to catch up with the 20+ pages I missed, so hugs to everyone that needs them, welcome to new people, congrats to everyone for losses and any other accomplishments!

I tried to hit the meet, got to Poly at 4:15, wandered around until 4:45 (and Mr Kat got a bit grumpy so we left), but I didn't see anyone that I recognized.

I did get to briefly meet punkin in the Space Mtn line though, as I would recognize her anywhere from all the pics. Thanks for calling, I didn't get the message until the next day and wasn't sure if you were still at WDW!

Trip was awesome, I am up about 9 lbs this month but that isn't too bad. Restarting on Monday and hope to lose that last 35 or so by next spring.

Hope everyone had a great time at the meet and sorry I missed you!

 

[monymony3471]

Looky what I got from WDW!!!!!

Thanks Pam!

 

[zigzagzerr]

Hi peeps! Hope you're having a great day!

Too many comments to quote...I think my brain might explode. Talk to you tomorrow.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hey everyone...we made it home late last night!

To all the peeps from the meet- It was so nice to have met you all, even though it was brief. DD chose that exact moment to have her first meltdown of the trip, which considering we had been on the go since very early Friday was good I guess. I was so dissapointed we had to leave before dinner. (I told Aries DH on our way out, he was witness to the beginnings of it, but I dont know what he relayed back to everyone. You can see from the pic that she was starting to melt down and laying her head back in the stroller refusing to look at the camera.) She had that one and one other at MGM on Monday and both centered around her deciding she wasnt going to eat....and she had not eaten much either day causing her mood to be very tricky. She was also over tired, and had just been asleep in the stroller when we arrived at Ohana.

Otherwise she was an angel, and I was very lucky! It was HOT and she was very patient with me when I said I needed to rest or take a break out of the heat. It really got to me. And then baby on board decided it was going to lay on my sciatic nerve on Sunday night and has not moved....and my left leg is numb fom my hip to my knee Thank god for the stroller....it doubled as a walker for me those last 2 days I promise to share some pics when I can get my camera to cooperate.

A special thanks to Sandy for sharing her DD with us!! Amanda loved it and she LOVES Pal Mickey. She carried him the whole time and was so tickled every time he said something to her. She also is still talking about the "robot ride" (aka Carousel of Progress) and was singing the song quite a bit. Made me see it at least 3 more times before we left, but at least I like it too and it was air conditioned there

Sorry I didnt get to email you Mony! We never made it to where you could do that at Epcot!


On a much sadder note, while we were gone our kitty that was so sick (and had made some progress) took a turn for the worse. I had a feeling it was coming and had said 'goodbye' to her in my own way before leaving, but she was very bad off by monday night. DH had to take her in to have her put to sleep yesterday before we got back, there was not much else the vet could do to make her comfortable and we were sort of prolonging the inevitable. I know she is better off not in pain but I am having a hard time dealing. Even though my head is telling me it was best, my heart is telling me otherwise right now. Her 2 brothers are still here and of course missing her too. I really lost it when we pulled into the driveway last night and it hit me she would not be inside waiting for us.

In memory of my sweet Leia:

(please ignore the piles of junk behind her. She loved hanging out where I sorted the laundry )

So sorry dd had a meltdown. Funny thing, when I saw that picture, I wondered if she was, or just didn't like having her picture made. Isn't it funny how we mothers can "sense" those things!

So sorry about your kitty! She was beautiful. That is such a hard decision as a pet owner. Here's a hug for you!

SORRY I've been hit or miss with posting but I've gained a third child (my nephew) and we're all getting used to a new schedule. That makes a 3 year old, 18 month old, and 8 month old...and me. I know others are doing it and have done it and hey - it'll get better, right?

Have a BEAUTIFUL Thursday!

Wow you are going to be very busy! We will send you some !
Writing stuff down is the best way to "see" what you are eating. I think that has been a huge part of success with my WW!

Today is my last day until after Thanksgiving at work. I thought all along I was only taking 6 weeks and then Thanksgiving week we are out--making it a total of 7 weeks. Well when I was getting bellwork ready for the sub I realized October has 5 weeks. SO I am taking off 7 weeks plus Thanksgiving giving me 8 weeks I stilll have a lot to get accomplished today at work. Realized at 4 this morning I made the wrong amount of copies for my assignments. HAve to get that done first thing this morning. My sub will be here this afternoon to pick up the entire amount of work for while I am gone. I thought I was OCD. I am used to giving a weeks worth at a time so I will know where we need extra help and so forth. THis should work.

TOmorrow is my ME DAY!!!!! Starting with a cut and color, then a mani and a pedi, then ending my day with a nice pre labor massage. I am looking so forward to this. I have not done anything like this ever. I will occasionaly get a pedicure in the Spring and if I am really battling with migraines might get a massage just to help loosen up. I get a color job done about every 2.5 to 3 months just because I do not like to pay the money.

Since DH is gone I need to finish getting ready and have the kids up soon. Have a great day everyone.

You are going to be one "HOT MAMA"!!! Enjoy your "me" day. I am sure it will make you feel like a million bucks! We can't wait to see pics! Hope all goes well on Sunday!

Those costumes are amazing. I hope that it isn't a prerequisite to be crafty to be on the peep thread. I could never do anything like this.
