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

[punkin413]

i just posted to my pre-TR with pics from the wedding reception and from the tori amos concert the other night (including pictures of the fox theater). there's even a video of tori playing "cornflake girl"! go check it out. it starts with the second post on the page:

Expo threads are here:

thanks so much for all the info!!! i couldn't find the movie maker on my computer but then DH found it for me, so i've been editing my videos all afternoon. i'm done now and about to go submit them to expo TV. then i'm gonna start adding friends, so be on the lookout for me!

So I mentioned a few months ago when I started my job that I would be less tempted to snack and I'd be at work during my 'danger' times for snacking. Well, that hasn't necessarily been the case. I don't snack at work but I've gone to get fast food more times than I should have. I'm also a bit stressed out at work due to several issues and that doesn't help me avoid emotional eating. I wish I could be stronger and more committed to healthy eating. When I am strict with myself, I do well but I feel so deprived if I do it too long. I need to get back to the WW plan I was on earlier this year. I did much better and felt like I was eating 'normally' instead of being so restricted.

sounds like you know what you need to do to get back on track!

Hey Peeps...I was just now able to download some pics so you all can see my new 'do.

Pardon the scrubs and yucky make-up face...I just got home from work. This was the day I had it done:

i love it! very cute. there's something about being brunette with some people that just looks better to me and you're one of them! i'm always tempted to go back to blonde myself, but then i see a picture of myself with brown hair and it's just "me"......i think this suits you, too!!!

Thanks everyone so far for the great feedback on my hair. I like it but it is definitely taking some getting used to.

I am totally dense about music (I love it but never know who sings what), but I do know that someone on here (or maybe more of you) like the song with the "treadmill dance" in the music video. Ring a bell for anyone?

Anyway, I may have mentioned that I was in the Notre Dame Marching Band back in college. Nowadays, they show the halftime shows online so I get to see them since they're never shown on TV. To make a long story short, they played this song and did some "interesting" moves to it. I thought I'd post a link if you wanted to check it out. It's the second song and if you can't find it is the ND vs. Air Force game. Enjoy!

I LOVE it! The darker hair really does seem to suit you!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

those chips and salsa at chili's kept me from starving while i was in college!!! i worked there and chips & salsa were free for employees (well, that's not an official policy, but they never charged us for them) and i would have that as a meal when i didn't have any money! i still love them to this day. i also love their lettuce wraps. not as good as pf chang's, but still very yummy!!! and awesome if you're trying to stay low carb.

lynda - i posted some pics a few pages back earlier this week that i had taken of me, my sister and my brother for our dad for christmas. here's the link. when you get a chance, check them out. i'd like to get your opinion!

I checked out the pics, and they are great. I think my faves are 14, 23, and 24, but there are lots that I thought were really good! (Is that what you were looking for? If not, let me know. )

Shannon - LOVE the hair! It is SO cute!

The treadmill video is Ok Go, and I love it! I believe Melinda is also rather fond of it. And I watched the video you linked, and that is really cool! How cute! I loved when the "treadmills" started moving.

Me and my nephew (and godson):

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I'm not sure I would have recognized you! But I like it! Cute!

yep! just wondering which ones you liked. you're one of two of our resident photogs here and i wanted to get your opinion. i think i got 14 and 24! (i can't remember the numbers now......i'll have to go back and look!)

i'm on expo TV now!!!!! i finally figured out how to make my videos the right size. i've reviewed 5 movies so far and i've got a huge pile in my floor to keep going with! if you're bored watch my videos......i got 1 cent for every time they're watched (i think!)

Cute new 'do! I've got an appt. on Wed. and am thinking of doing something new...I'm sick of the same ol', same ol'!

 

[dwheatl]

Any ideas?? So far the only one we have we can somewhat agree on is Anthony, but to me there arent many good nicknames for it (other than Tony, which being Italian is a bit stereotypical), and calling a baby Anthony seems too grown up, know what I mean??

I love the name Anthony. That is DS' middle name. I also love the name Aidan, with no E, like Aidan Quinn (yummy!) And our neighbor's little boy is Andrew, and that is a great name too. For nicknames, if you gave him a J middle name, like Anthony Joseph or Aidan James, you could call him AJ.

Shannon, love the 'do! Glad you had a good time with the Rockettes.

DD and I went to her high school's performance of Anything Goes today. Man, those kids were talented. And I was glad to see a few chubby girls up there singing and dancing. I'm glad they have the self-confidence to get up there and let their talents shine through.
Afterwards, we went to Target, and I got a new outfit for Thanksgiving. I never buy new stuff, but DD encouraged me. I came home and cried (AF on the way?) and told DH I hate my body. When we went to the gym yesterday, I was up another 1 1/2 lbs. At least for today, though, I was really good, got rid of the last of the Halloween candy, rode the exercise bike, and I'll drink 2 more glasses of water and do some push-ups before I go to bed.

Shannon!!!!!! It's so cute! I love, love, love it! You look amazing! Love the darker shade for winter. It perks up your face...not that you were pasty or plain, but it just adds some sparkle! I like the "dark shadow" behind you.

I just got a bit of a trim too, we have a similar cut. Super easy, eh?

Just went and watched them all for you...hope my 5 cents helps!
And we SO have the same taste in movies! I've seen and liked all the ones you did, but you reviewed three of my all time faves...A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation (must-see holiday classics)...and BJ's Diary! I have both the movies and books! Love them!
I'll have to look more into this expotv thing...keep us updated on how it works out!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

I admit skimming! BUT.

Dawn....I'm going to watch your videos! Can't wait to see you in action!

Shannon! LOVE the hair! Very, very cute! The brown will fade some in a few weeks and some of that blonde will be peeking through again. DD had to recolor to brown again this week due to blonde-ness.

Gotta wake everybody up!

ONLY TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL THIS WEEK!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Hi All!

I am back from Disney! What a trip we had! I can't wait to get the TR started!!! I do need to skim the past week to catch up with you!

BBL to post more! Happy Day!

why the tears? just look at what you did yesterday.....a new outfit, no more halloween candy, exercise bike, push-ups and lots of water. there's no reason to cry....you're beautiful!

Ya look great. Love the look---whish I could go that dark.

Watching them as I type. My all time fav. Christmas movie is A CHRISTMAS STORY.


Having to give Joshua a breathing treatment--he was doing much better and then this morning woke with coughing fits. He has gotten his appetite back Taking Rebekah to Dr. calling at 8---had a temp of 101 during the night and she just sounds bad. Not sure if there is much they can do, but I have to take her.

Kids are out for the week---oldest DS went out of time to visit a friend --he did this to get out of housework since we are having 30 people for TG.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

All right, here's the results of last week's Turkey-day challenge weigh in. I did a quick skim this morning, so hopefully I didn't miss anybody. This is the last week, so good luck to all!

 

[Wonders10]

Shannon! LOVE the hair! Very, very cute! The brown will fade some in a few weeks and some of that blonde will be peeking through again. DD had to recolor to brown again this week due to blonde-ness.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Thanks Melinda (and everybody!) for the compliments. Melinda, you are right! My stylist actually colored it twice because the blonde was already coming through as he was blowdrying. He said to come in 4 weeks for a touch up. I can tell already it is not as dark as when I had it done. I do actually like it though. And UM, I know what you mean...except you said it a lot nicer than a woman I work with who said I don't look as pale anymore And it is an easy cut. I just mousse it up, flip my head over and dry, brushing here and there. Sometimes I curl the ends a little so I get more body and bounce, but it takes a long time and I get hot

Have a great day Peeps! My cousin, as I've mentioned, is here for another almost 2 weeks. We are having some drama with her sister (my cousin who lives down here). She keeps bailing on coming over to see her and do something. And of course, my mom and I have to work. I did take Wednesday off so we are doing some shopping (her favorite thing). But I just have issues with her...she is very immature and sheltered to put it mildly. And she is 42-ish. I use all my patience up with patients (homonyms!) and I don't have much left when I get home to deal with her. It is so mean I know. Give me strength!

 

[pigget74]

So on what day are we calling this goal ended--since weigh in is on Friday? Are we all going to weigh first thing Thurs. a.m. and post on Friday? Just want to be on the same page as everyone. Also, I want to add a ribbon, but do not know which one to add. I have lost 32 since Sept. 30th, but all of that was weight I gained from being pregnant. I have lost 5 since this challenge. So what number should I use? Thanks.

Headed to Dr,. with Rebekah--wish us luck. Will post when I get back.

 

[Sandy321]

Yeah Shannon - you are beautiful!!

PUNKIN - love your post - ditto what Punkin says!! plus dwheatl - remember - you are NOT alone!! I know for one, I'm in that boat - it hard, but do focus on the positive!!

Punkin - my fav all time Christmas movie... Meet Me In St Louis!! I know, most dont think of it as a Christmas movie - but the song Judy Garland sings,
Have yourself a Merry Christmas... brings a tear to my eye every time!!

I do get a kick out of Elf too tho!!

 

[Sandy321]

PS - I'm starting Christmas shopping - Budget Board here on the Dis is awesome!! I did the Victoria Secret Deal (1 sweater, scarf, 2 lip gloss paks - $21 shipped!!) I hope the sweater will fit DS girlfriend - I bought black - the scarf will probably go on the scarf tree at dd school, and of course I'll give each girl a lip set! (priced at $28)

Also Target is going to put their DVD's on sale Black Friday - Ratattoille will be $14, and you can get seasons of some TV shows (Gilmore Girls for one!) $14!! (right now season 1-4 is $14 - but the ad says season 6 will be $14!!)

I'm hoping dh will buy our tickets to wdw for our Christmas present to each other - so I'm thinking of heading to the $1 store for presents this year!! Or deal busters!! (my mom wants one of those digital frames, I'm seeing them for $59!! BF some stores claim to have a few for $29!!)

 

[Pakey]

Morning Peeps! It's a short week and a payroll week for us here so there's tons of work and I shouldn't be DISsing. Oh well.

Danielle I'm sorry you had such a tough day. I was there a few months ago myself. I'm doing very well now but it was very hard to get started. You just have to take the first day as it comes. It will get easier.

Melinda There is no way I could have Dove's dark chocolates in the house and then stop eating after just one. My willpower is good but I'm no saint. Major kudos to you if you can do that. And I love dark chocolate. So I am thinking I'll have my DH hide a bag somewhere and just give me one at a time when I ask for it.

Shannon Love the hair. It suits you so well.

Gayle I'll be looking for the trip report. So glad you had fun.

Jen No baby name suggestions will come from my mouth. After all, I named my son Bryceton Yost. It was supposed to be Bryceton Robert but all of the relatives who hated Bryceton said they were going to call him by his middle name so I changed that to something nobody would use. Nobody every shortened Bryceton either and I always felt like it sounded too adult for a little kid. He's 26 now and stil goes by Bryceton.

Francesca I'm sure you are thrilled that Jimmie won the championship again. I'm already depressed that I've got to wait until February for Daytona.

Aaron When is our official weigh-in to be this week for our Thanksgiving challenge?

I bought my new Thanksgiving outfit too. I was so excited to be able to buy a size 10 pair of pants that I had to get a new purse to go with 'em.

Have a great day.
