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

[Jelly1]

I got nuthin. Absolutely friggin nuthin. I sure hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. Don't eat too much. Oh, I can add to my list of hate. I hate Diet Coke machines that take your money but refuse to give you a diet Coke.

 

[UtahMama]

BUT, being the genius that I am, I just realized something today: While walking on the treadmill, it calculates how many calories burned, etc. I realized it took 5-6 minutes of focused walking to burn off the calories in a Tootsie Roll Midgee - you know, those tiny things you always find with the Halloween candy. (Incidentally, you can eat 10 of those things without thinking...). I had a REVELATION: It IS NOT WORTH 5 MINUTES OF WALKING TO EAT ONE OF THOSE STUPID THINGS, OR ANY OTHER CANDY ON THE PLANET. It just isn't. And so much of my eating is unconscious. It just made me think twice about what is and isn't worth eating in terms of how much exercise it takes to burn it off.

Anyway - everybody have a great Thanksgiving! Moderation is the key for me...

Cool revelation, thanks for that!

Hey Peeps,

Serious family drama going on here. Why when things are going great do not so great things seem to happen?

Long story short, my FLcousin (NYcousin, her sister, is visiting) has been an alcoholic and prescription drug abuser for over 20 years. Currently she is in a sort of halfway house - apartment complex where you have random drug screenings, curfew rules, etc but otherwise live a "normal" life. As long as she has a job and is "clean", she can live there. She has been doing great for over a year now. And last week I guess she went to the Dr for a valid reason and they gave her Vicodin which is a huge no-no where she is. I don't know the whole story yet, but I will because she is on her way to my mom's house because she was asked to leave. I'm annoyed and pissed and upset mainly for my mom because she always is the one that has to deal with her. I made my mom promise not to get suckered in by her lies and sob story and let her stay here more than a couple days. She has done this to my mom so many times it's ridiculous. Her mother, my aunt, lives up in NY and in the past 20+ years of this going on, has come down here maybe 5 times to help her. All she does is complain about it to my mom...who is living it. Two Christmases ago, we went through the same thing.

Anyway, sorry...that wasn't so short. Please send pixie dust and prayers mainly for my mom who is the main one dealing with it and feels sick to her stomach right now, but also for my FLcousin because she needs help and even when things are going great, she manages to screw it up.

Ahh, dont you just LOVE family drama. Why'd that dr. give her Vicodan? Poor woman was so close to getting it together and had to blow it! Grr! I don't blame you for bing ticked. Your mama has a big heart to keep taking her in when she feels she has no where else to turn. Hope the prayers of strength and health will help. I hope she pulls herself together finally! If it makes you feel any better, we probably all have family dramas similar to yours. We all have special relatives who are determined to ruin their lives or drive us crazy. I admit, they entertain me

Good night loves!

Woohooty to that! Hawaii sure is a good motivator! I keep telling my DBF that if I don't lose the wieght I want to by our Disney trip I am going to postpone it to punish myself. lol!

That was actually my first goal...to lose 10 lbs. by the time we went to Disney in December! But I was failing at that. I was losing, but definitely wouldn't see a 10 lbs. loss! So, now I've got my motivation back!
Don't postpone, though...you can do it!

Sounds like she takes the saying, "Save the drama for YOUR momma" a little too literally. Your poor mom...hope the drama subsides soon!

Wooo hooo for Hawaii. I did the Body sculpting workout tonight with Gilad (or the Hawaiian hunk, as we call him around here) and I was thinking of how I'd like to go back. It's actually a shorter trip for us than going to FL.

Wait! Who is this Hawaiian hunk you are referring to?
And I wish it was a short trip to Hawaii for us...last time we went, on our honeymoon, my DH had to take half of a Xanax b/c of the anxiety of the long flight. He's not scared to fly, but instead I think it's more being a confined space for so long. Anyway, the Xanax knocked him out and I basically had an eight hour flight by myself! I remember when we had a layover in LA, he could barely walk through the airport and it took me forever just to wake him up! And, like I said, he only took half...imagine if he'd taken the whole thing!

Sooooo...
Last night, I was looking for a picture that I had saved on my Snapfish account, and while I was searching, I kind of got pulled into looking at several of the albums I created years ago, reminiscing (sp?). I started looked at pics from our honeymoon six years ago in Hawaii. I had lots of pics, but hardly any of me...even w/ the two of us. The ones I did have kind of bummed me out. The heaviest I had ever been was before I got engaged to my now DH...so, once we were engaged, I decided to lose some weight. I did Atkins and lost about 17 lbs. (btw, I HATED Atkins...was always hungry and in a terrible mood...could never do it again). So, even though I was smaller by the time our wedding/honeymoon rolled around, I still wasn't where I wanted to be. I remember not wanting any pics of me in my bathing suit or really many of me at all!
Let me just say, too, that I know I'm not "fat"...but I inherited a bigger bottom half (from my mom...Thanks, mom). My problem areas are my hips, butt, and thighs. I've always had a very small waist and upper body...and below my knees is great So, my main goal has always been mainly to lose the weight in those areas and really to work out and firm those areas up.
So, anyway...my point is that DH and I were talking about this last night, and we were talking about my lack of motivation when it comes to eating right and working out. I don't mind so much the actual working out...it's just getting on the treadmill, stationary bike, etc. that I can't see to make myself do. Although, I've been doing much better lately.
Anyway...so, then this exchange happens...
DH: "Do you want me to give you something to motivate you?
Me: "Sure, what?"
DH: "What's your goal weight?"
Me: "130"
DH: "Ok, if you can reach your goal weight by summer of next year (meaning 08), then I will take you back to Hawaii for our anniversary next December."
Me: "What? Are you serious?" (b/c I have been begging him to take me back next year and he keeps saying no...doesn't like long flights)
DH: "Yes, I promise. I just want you to feel good about yourself and if you need something to motivate you, then I want to help."
Me:

So, needless to say, I'm now VERY motivated! And this should be plenty of time to reach my goal weight. I really don't have that much too lose. Like I said, I don't feel "fat", but I'm just not as toned as I could be. I guess the main objective here really is to get to the point where I just feel happy w/ myself.

That is great. Wish my DH would do somehting like that

[Disneyfreak92]

I posted a new installment on my trip report last night. It's the Kona Peep meet, if anyone here might be interested in that...

 

[born2bird]

Peeps!!

I was MIA all weekend and yesterday and I still have not caught up yet. I hope everyone is doing well and is ready for Thanksgiving. I am skipping work tomorrow to go shopping (wish me luck). FYI, I LOATHE shopping. Somehow that genetic trait was left for my brother because there isn't any part of my being that enjoys this chore. Wish me luck.

So, I was watching the news this morning and they said that the average American consumes 5,000 calories on Thanksgiving day. That is a lot of food! Now taking that into consideration I am going to really watch everything I put in my mouth on Thursday so I do not undo everything I am doing the rest of the week. I have two, that's right, TWO dinners to go to, my DMIL and aunt. I must control myself. I am good until the desserts come out then I turn into a drooling jackyl. It isn't a pretty sight.

Anywho, have a great day everyone. I hope it is sunny in your part of the world.

Cheers,
Kim

 

[aldisneygrl]

I started out by trying to keep up w/ both my Monday (WW) weigh-in numbers and my Friday (Dis) weigh-in numbers. That lasted all of a week. This week, I decided to just use the same numbers on Fri. (here) that I used on Monday (WW). Good grief...did that make sense? I think I confused myself even!

I just post on Friday whatever my loss or gain was on Monday (that's my WW weigh in day). It is just easier to keep track that way.

Does the DIS run on it's own time??? I don't think it coincides with anywhere in the US!!!

Working hard today, (or hardly working!) then I have to go to the airport to pick up my Mom, who is coming for Thanksgiving from NJ. It'll be good to see her, as I haven't seen her since my DD's wedding in August. In the next 5 days I only have to work 4 hrs! YAY! Mom & I will get to spend LOTS of time together!

I am in the process of uploading pics to photobucket so I can start my TR. Hopefully that will be by this weekend! Off to catch upon other threads!

[punkin413]

just a flyby to say hello. i'm admitting to skimming. i saw that someone's kid is sick......hope they're feeling better (accept my apology for not directly quoting!!!)

i probably will be MIA for the next few days. our secretary was fired so the office is kinda hectic right now and in the middle of all this my boss had a miscarriage, so we're 2 women short at the moment and life is crazy. but things happen that are beyond our control.....i just jump in with both feet and deal with it! and then i'm leaving town tomorrow night for thanksgiving and probably will not have internet access (besides my mom's slow-as-molasses dial-up) until sunday night when i return home. ray can't come because he found out he's gotta be on call, so i will be traveling alone. wish me safe travels!

i'm saying this now in case i don't find my way back here before thursday....

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

 

[Pakey]

Good "almost afternoon" peeps. Hope everyone is well today.

Dawn I watched your videos. I bookmarked the web address so I'll keep viewing as you add more to it. You are so photogenic. Much cuter than the other people that had reviews of those same movies. Hopefully everyone will pick you to watch cuz you're cuter.

MrN Nikki I hope that your upcoming Hawaii vacation is the motivator to get you all firmed up. Nuthin' worse than the fear of being seen in a bathing suit to getcha fired up on the exercise. I'm using Paris as a motivator too. When we went to Italy in 05, I was exhausted from all of the walking. I'm going to be ready for Paris next year though. Tip top shape.

Shannon So sorry to hear about your family crisis. My DS26 is bipolar and a real pill; I couldn't imagine expecting any other relative to pick up the burden of my responsibility. It's a shame your mom feels compelled to deal with it.

Kim 5,000 calories for one meal. Yikes. I'm so glad I'm skipping it this year. I'm going to a movie and I'm even going to take my already popped 100 calorie popcorn bag in with me so that I don't get tempted by that theater popcorn loaded with that butter oil stuff. I told DH I wanted cornish game hen for dinner with a green vegetable. No pumpkin pie for this kiddo!

Wendy Thanks for the diet tip. However, I will have to pass on it as I cannot eat just one oreo. I think it's against the law here in CA anyway.

Have a great day all.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

I cannot stop eating today!!!! I have to go now so I can raid the Halloween candy.

 

[DisneyLaura]

I hope she doesn't come down with it. I think Rebekah got it form Joshua and it just got worse. I took her last week to the Dr. not her normal one and he said it was just a cold and I explained that her brother was sick. All he said was it is a cold and let it run its course. Well this is were we are now She is sleeping in her car seat since that gets her up some--she has not eaten since 8:30---and then it was only 3 ounces that she took. She has lost 4 ounces since Tuesday.

How old is Rebekah? Poor baby. I would let the pedi know that she's not eating though, how many oz is she supposed to get (Sorry I breastfeed). I just took Elizabeth to the pedi at 1:15 and I thought they were going to tell me that she has bronchitis too (I was kind of worried because her birthday is on turkey day and we are having a party for her on sat) anyway she just has the start of an ear infection so they gave some antibiotics. Never ends.

MRNsMommy - Yeah for you. Hawaii

Hey Peeps,

Serious family drama going on here. Why when things are going great do not so great things seem to happen?

Never ends.

Rebekah is 7 weeks old. I breastfeed and pump. I started pumping and bottle feeding to get her used to a bottle for when I return to work next week. She has lost another 3 ounces. The Dr. thinks she is getting a little better. Her eyes look better today and she is not as lathargic (sp). She has been awake more today than the last 3 days combined. Her cough is still horrible and she still has a rattle in her chest so we are now on oral antibiotics. Hopefully she will eat better today. Even though she is already behind.

 

[celerystalker]

I just realized I didn't eat lunch.
and we're going shopping tonight, so I won't be home for awhile.
what if I get hungry?
we have no money!
I'm only going shopping cuz I have gift cards I can use.
argh. what to do.

 

[MRNsMommy]

That is great. Wish my DH would do somehting like that

Believe me, it shocked me that my DH is actually agreeing to this! I should've made him sign something, though!

I just post on Friday whatever my loss or gain was on Monday (that's my WW weigh in day). It is just easier to keep track that way.
[/quote
Right. That's what I was trying to say...but it was late, and my mind wasn't working properly...I, apparently, tend to babble on when I'm tired!

That is similar to the conversation DH had with me when I considered the 5K in Jan. It has been the motivation I was lacking. I don't know if I will be where I ultimately want to be in Jan., but I will be a lot closer than if I didn't have this carrot dangling in front of me.

Hawaii for you, too? I wish that I could do a 5K...I have horrible knees, though, so it's all I can do to do the running w/ the interval training on my treadmill...and I always pay for it the next day!

Good "almost afternoon" peeps. Hope everyone is well today.

Exactly, I don't want to HAVE to wear a cover up. I want to feel comfortable enough to just walk around in my bathing suit.
And yeah, you should definitely be read for Paris...it makes me tired just reading about how you'll do 6 miles on the treadmill! Do you run or walk or both? I'm exhausted after 2.5 miles!


Not feeling so well today, Peeps! Last night after I got off the treadmill I felt horrible. I thought it was just the workout...I kicked it up a notch...so, I thought I'd get over it once I got a shower, cooled off, and relaxed a bit. But by the time I went to bed (which was late b/c of a certain little baby), I was feeling awful. Nauseated! I took some Nexium and Benadryl, though, and went to sleep. But at about 5 am, I woke up and (where's the puke smilie?). And it's just gotten worse. I'm waiting on my DH to get home so I can take a nap...and let him take care of the kiddos for a while! I hope this is only a 24 hr. thing!
