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

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

COLD RAIN!!! Nothing south of freezing! Are you flying out of Lexington or Cincy? HAVE FUN, FRAN!!!

We're road tripping. We considered flying but with the amount of stuff that I'm taking that would be next to impossible. My in-laws tease me that for a weekend trip I take everything but the kitchen sink. We have alot of stuff. We have so much stuff that I told my husband that we'll unload everything that night after we arrive so that no one can see us. We may leave Saturday afternoon and get hotel in Corbin instead of leaving at 4 am Sunday. We just don't want our plans disrupted. I'll keep you informed.

Hi peeps!

So I'm leaving for Disney tomorrow! I am so ready for this weekend. I'm not doing a trippie because I was unable to finish the last 3 I had started in the past...but I will post some pics of my hopefully fun adventures. The weather forecast for our only full day, Saturday, isn't looking so hot so send some weather pixie dust that the rain stays away!

Have a great night peeps!

I had such high hopes for the weather because of the past week's record breaking temps. Maybe the rain will stay away. Any way, have a great time & make the most of it.

We fianlly have our Christmas cards to send out. I thought DH was going to go balistic at WalMart. He went on Tuesday to get them--we did them in one hour and then they said he had to have a release from teh photographer. Ok--he called her and she got him a release. Went back yesterday with the release and they still would not give them to him. Said that anyone could have made it on their computer. He told them that yes anyone can make anything on their computers these days. They still would not give them to him. He called the photographer and she literally had to speak with 3 different people and has to fax them something as well. CAN I JUST SAY HOW MUCH WE HATE WALMART!!!!!! We did not have any trouble last year using our CD from DISNEY. Only reason we used them was because we were supposed to get them in 1 hour At least they are getting in the mail today.

I almost don't use WalMart anymore for pictures - partly for this reason. They have gotten a lot stricter with their policy but won't admit it. I understand their reasons, but I was really frustrated when they wouldn't make copies of a picture of my great-grandmother when she was a toddler - taken in about 1878! I did learn that for $15 or $16 Olan Mills will write a release covering all of their pictures that are over - I think two years old because they only keep them that long.

I'm really disappointed in myself regarding Christmas cards. I always do them, but the paper I ordered to use is handmade and won't go thru the printer, and I haven't figured out what to do instead. But people are expecting them so I have to get it together!

Everyone headed to WDW - Have fun!

Sorry I haven't had much to say lately, but I'm always here - caring about your struggles even when I don't say so! I'm sympathizing with someone who asked if she was just disorganized about the Christmas stuff. I think the answer is probably no! There just is so much to try to do. Even the things you love to do for Christmas are very time consuming! We finally got our tree up and partially decorated but there are several boxes of ornaments that aren't on it yet. We've also been cleaning out the house some. We're all pack-rats at our house, but after spending weeks and filling a dumpster several times as we cleaned out my grandmother's house we're kind of feeling the desire to do a "clean sweep" kind of thing! But that takes a lot of time too!

Hope you all get everything done you want to get done!

Hey! Just checkin' in! Miss my peeps! Been busy this week. After skimming to catch up, I don't have much time left to post. I hope everyone is doing well. to those in need! I'm thinking of you. And Dawn - I just watched that video, and if it is even possible, I don't like him even more now!

Night peeps! Skinny dreams! I'll be posting my weigh in tomorrow, but it will be in the evening since there's no more work DISing for me.

 

[pixie dust 112]

-1 was hoping for 2, but I was home most of yesterday with our snow day and munched way too much!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

I hope it is a happy weigh in day for all concerned. Candy, cookies, and snacks of all kinds are growing and breeding in our office this week. Every time I go back to the kitchen, there is another tray!

Still no time for my long post....gotta get to work.

Don't forget to watch Samantha Brown's Holiday Disney Special tonight on the Travel Channel at 8pm EST.

Fran & Shannon....Have a safe trip!!!

Here's what Fran and Shannon will get to see this week....

Castle Lights

Mickey's Twas the Night Before Christmas

Osborne Lights

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hope everyone is doing well. Between being super busy at work and under the weather, I haven't been around much. And unfortunately, I gained 1.4 pounds this week. But all things considered, I'm not too upset about it. My wife's cousin's son had his first birthday party on Saturday, where I ate a few too many snacks. I was invited to a Packers game on Sunday (which if you are from around here, you know how big of a deal this is), where I ate and drank more than I should have. And sometime during the course of the week, I came down with a nasty cold that, while it didn't prevent me from eating, did stop me from exercising. So all-in-all, it could have been much worse. The bottom line is that I am now 1 pound away from getting back to my Christmas goal of 175, and a week to get there. I CAN DO IT!!!

I'll post last week's and this week's Christmas Goal progress some time this afternoon. Hopefully I didn't miss anybody's last week, but if I did then feel free to correct me.

Let's see some happy numbers!

Wonders10 Have fun and here's some pixie dust for no rain

punkin413 I gained too, see post below. I hate him even more too after watching that video. So sad about those dogs, he should have gotten more jail time than he did. GA is kind of far. We are driving just a little trip. I'll check out Charleston tos ee if that's too far. Thanks for the advice.

pixie dust 112 Nice job

lexmelinda In a way I'm glad I'm at home with the kids at the holiday time because I know what's brought in during these times. Definately not good peep food. Oh yeah I'm watching that show for sure. Thanks for the reminder I had forgotten from the last time you posted about it.

WI_DisneyFan No problem, I did too. We'll get those lb back after the holidays.

Well peeps, I gained 2.6 lb. I am so disgusted with myself. It's like I can't stop munching. Anyway next week is another week. I did go to the gym once this week so that's a start. HAve a skinny day everyone.

 

[HockeyKat]

I am -3 . Which, is at least progress downward instead of upward. And, it is 6-7 lbs down from my highest on Mon Dec 3rd.

I am soooo glad it's Friday.

 

[spongemommie05]

I am +1 My mouth has not been hurting me so i have been eating (pretty much everything i can) Tis The Season" FALALALALA It is snowy cold here but can i say that all this snow makes my house look really Nice it would be alot better with some xmas lights up But i am not holding my breath for DH to do that before xmas..
Everyone have a great Friday

 

[UtahMama]

I want one of those Easy Buttons!

I am either a samer or a plus .2-er. I'll blame Misty since she bought me McNo-No's yesterday!

I will not be losing 10 more pounds before Christmas. Maybe by Christmas '08???

BUT, I am doing the tread mill and eating pretty healthy and cutting off at 8pm...which will be moved to 7pm this week. Water continues to be the hard one.


THANKS HockeyKat and PixieDust for picking up my slack.... You are good friends! Maybe I'll get to do it for YOU someday???

WIDF and Punkin are SOOOOOO close!!!!!!!! sooooo close!

 

[born2bird]

Happy Friday!!!

I just have to get through this International Luncheon and I am free for 2 days. The smells in this building from all of the exotic foods cooking are a bit nauseating. Thankfully, it has killed my appetite.

BTW, I am -1.5 lbs!! this morning. It is about time!!

Fran & Shannon, I am sending you lots of for a wonderful time in WDW. Even if it rains, you will still have an amazing time.

Tia, just checking in to see how you are feeling.

Punkin, I can't belive he only got 23 months!! Pathetic. I hope he will not be allowed to play in the NFL when he gets out.

Spongemommie, for the snow. I am hoping we get some this weekend. I really want to take the kidlets sledding.

Kat, for the 3lbs. That is fantastic...and with the holidays right around the corner. You rock!

Melinda,thanks for the links. The castle lighting got me all teary. I saw it on the Travel Channel 2 nights ago. Smantha Brown was back in Disney. I want to be her. She has the best job EVER.

Monica, How did the oven cleaning go? Since I use ours about twice a month it never gets dirty . My husband prefers to cook on the grill all year long. In fact he just dragged it onto the screened-porch last night to cook my veggie burger. I hate cooking and really am not good at it at all. This weekend I will make some cookies for my DS' pre-school class. Aside from the pumpkin crunch I made last week for friends, that will only be the second time the oven has been used this month.

Vampire Fans, you can check out the Laurel Hamilton series as well. I didn't like her writing style nearly as much as Anne Rice but it is a Vampire story nonetheless. It might be worth a trip to the library. I just ordered the Twilight series for myself. A me-to-me gift

Have a good day peeps!

 

[HockeyKat]

Thanks guys!! It is a bit easier for me since I don't have kids, and my office building is mostly men and very little bad food. Plus Mr Kat is working a lot and rarely home, so that helps me stick to plan.

I really want to get rid of these last 30 lbs in '08. I had put my final goal as April '08 when I started trying to shed weight, and I am still hopeful.

I am trying to decide between the gym and hockey for my lunch hour. Some girls are getting together at noon at the ice rink across the street for a scrimmage, but I haven't been on the ice in so long that I am afraid. Plus the showers there are nasty... The gym would be an easier but less fun option, but with better showers.

Hope that everyone is having a great Friday!! Only 6 more hours to go...

 

[DisneyObsession]

I need to read...but I am SOOOO excited I had to share my news!!!!

I just booked POR for Sept 21-29, 2008 for my 25th Anniversary!!!

DH & I kept going back and forth and after running numbers, he decided we should do Disney! I convinced him to do POR instead of ASMu, much nicer place IMO, and he agreed! He emailed me this morning to make the reservations so he can put in his vacation time at work! WOOHOO!!! I'm so excited about this! Now to start planning ADR's, maybe a tour or two! Now let's hope for free dining! That would just be the best!!!

Ok...I need to catch up. BBL

 

[monymony3471]

Today's the DAY! The last day of the remodel.

The counter is on. The sink is in. Everything is hooked up. Extra plugs.

After I clean up their mess, I'll take a picture.

 

[lexmelinda]

I just booked POR for Sept 21-29, 2008 for my 25th Anniversary!!!

Gayle....that is the same week we are booked at POR for our (imaginary) trip next year. I stealth booked the bounceback while DH was in the shower on our last day. Who knows if I'll get to go but it's still fun to dream.

 

[punkin413]

hey, guys! well, i'm +1 POUND today (i couldn't make it big and pretty because i'm at work and for some reason those controls aren't working here???) better than i thought at least. i honestly don't know if i'm going to reach my 130-pound goal by christmas. but we shouldn't get too down on ourselves.....it's so hard to lose this time of year. just look at it this way - at least we're watching what we eat more than most people right now and instead of gaining 10 pounds (like the majority does this time of year), we may gain only a couple!

GAYLE - congrats on booking the trip!!!!! how exciting! i'm sure you guys will have such a great time.

MONICA - i wanna see pictures when it's done!

FRAN - i forgot to tell you to have a wonderful trip!!!! i don't know if i've missed you or not.

SHANNON - you, too!!!!

EVERYONE ELSE - have a good friday! me and erin (the girl that came to WDW with me in september) are going to see "enchanted" tonight. i can't wait!

 

[Pakey]

Hi peeps. Sorry to have not been out here much; it's been a hectic week for me with tons of medical appts.

I'm +1 I'm sure it has something to do with the massive amounts of chocolate I have consumed plus the no exercise since I'm still not feeling good.

This is the first time I've gained since I started trying to lose weight so hopefully it will motivate me to get off the chocolate.

Have a great weekend.

 

[pigget74]

Hey everyone I am up 1 pound I think. Never know with my scales.

Shannon and Fran----have a great TRIP>

Well...if you already have it booked than you can go!!! I would love to meet one of my "imaginary" friends!!! That would be sooo cool!!!

Monica...The last day of remodeling is always the best!!! Enjoy the new kitchen!!!
