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

[punkin413]

get this. anna wants to take her "regulars" out to dinner tonight after gym class. so we're going to eat mexican. makes sense to gorge yourself with chips and salsa after a good workout, right???

 

[pigget74]

Just was updated on Christi----she seems to be doing much better today. We have never gotten the official results of the PET. Last night out of the blue she decided to call her husband and just chit chat. She went form beng lethargic and not doing anything to having energy and wanting to talk. I have no clue what all this means but I do believe in the power of prayer. I continue to pray for a miracle.

Dawn- so sorry about your tooth! I used to work for a dentist who had an acupuncturist help with the pain. Especially awesome for pregnant mamas. I'm pretty sure the nitrus oxide is s huge no-no.

Dweatl- That is pretty much the funniest darn thing I've ever seen! Tell me this, did the old lady say anything like "WOOOOO" or "WEEEEE" or "TA DAH!" when she lifted up her Santa skirt? I picture it getting tangled up in her hair due to her diminished mobility and then finally, climactically, making it over her head..."SUPERSTAR!"

Hi Punkin!!!! Can't say Super Star without saying HI to YOU (hee!)

WEll if I do "two-a-days" from now till Jan 12 I might be able to stay in front of the sweepers!!

I did 2.5 miles - rugged weather, didnt slip but a couple of times, tried to stay in the road - back road/subdivision - but it took everything I had and 50 minutes...

 

[aldisneygrl]

Sandy - just think about the little engine that could.....keep saying....I think I can...I think I can....then I KNOW I can..... I KNOW I can.

DD and I are right there with you hoping we won't be swept. How long does the race last? Maybe we can meet you at the finish line? We now have our LIME GREEN WISH shirts so we should be easy to spot.

I believe in it too-miracles do happen. I will keep them in my prayers.

 

[Sandy321]

More prayers for miracles -

DN (the one who her and her now dh served in Afghanastan - doctors told her she couldnt conceive the 'usual' way - her dad is a minister btw!!)

SHE IS IN LABOR!!! I keep thinking every phone call - is this it??? (her dh was in a "Career ending accident at Ft Bragg I think is where they are in Georgia? anyway, he slowly and determinely growing stronger - he now can do a desk job - he is an amazing decorated soldier - and soon to be new daddy!!) I am so very excited, and happy for them, and thier MIRACLES!!

Thank you all so much for your kind words, your belief in me - DH said he ran a marathon on 3 week training - so I can, I will do this!! Alli - we'll meet up Friday at Pop - I really dont know if I can return the kindness - I think we're going to stay away from AK - and sleep in Friday - I know I wont get ANY sleep Friday night!!

Yay, a new baby is on the way! Here's to hoping she has an easy delivery and healthy little baby very soon! The waiting for the phone call to say the baby has arrived is horrible, huh?!

Sandy I am so proud of you. I could never do a half marathon! I am such a wimp.

But I will do a 5K. That is part of my goal for 2008.

For 2008 my goals are:

Lose all this weight. Not some, but all of it.

Exercise 5 times a week.

Train to run a 5K.

I have a sick child. Up puking through the night. Could be all the christmas parties he partook in, or the bug? We will see.

I will check back later peeps.

Eat lots of beans today.

Eat lots of beans today.

only on this thread!

too bad i hate beans....i have to rely on fiber one bars if i need to lose an extra pound! try being a vegetarian and not eating beans....it's not easy! i was a vegetarian for a year and do you know what did me in? those little cocktail weenies in BBQ sauce. DH was making them for a superbowl party and i just HAD to have one.

Hi all! Just checking in quick to see how everyone is doing. It's been a super busy couple-a weeks (but then, who isn't busy this time of the year?), so I haven't been around much. But you're always in teh back of my mind when I see a Christmas treat of some sort at work or on the counters at home. Hope everyone is doing well! And those of you with tooth pains - I know what you are going through!

WOW!!! That looks great! And by chance, do you know the manufacturer of your table and chairs? That looks exactly like what I've got in my house! Mine were made by Canadel, or something close to that.

Dawn: My mom makes her own dog food.

She cooks rice and mixed vegetables and adds what ever left over meat she has on hand. Dices it all up and stores in the fridge

Our little pooch was in the animal hospital about 6 months ago, and they told us to feed her rice and beef/chicken (what ever you have on hand) for a few weeks because it helps settle the stomach when they can't keep food down. I'm terrible with feeding her table scraps. And she loves carrots, so when I sit down with a bag of those baby carrots she's right there at my side munching along with me.

Hi all,

I haven't been on the boards much because I've been trying to "take it easy" as my doctor has instructed.

Anyway, thank you very much for all of the birthday wishes. I really wasn't able to do much, but my SO and I did go out to PF Changs for dinner so that was nice. Of course, not as nice as being at "the World" this week would have been, but it was still nice. (can you tell I'm still bitter about having to cancel my trip?? )

I got some of the blood test results from the hospital back from my doc, and he wants to do them over and add some additional testing. As it stands right now, he says that he believes there is "something" autoimmune going on, looking at my blood work, but he wants to do the additional testing to get a clearer picture. He has mentioned Lupus a couple times, so I really don't know.

So, I guess I'm still in need of prayers and pixie dust from those of you that can spare it. I will be home from work for another week or so, and then I MAY be able to head back to work, depending on how much I've improved.

Anyway, thanks again Peeps for the well wishes. I will keep you guys posted. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Tia, hang in there. Thanks for keeping us posted.

[born2bird]

It sounds like everyone is so busy.I have got to finish wrapping! This darn working thing really gets in the way of the important stuff.

I have to confess that i ate HORRIBLY yesterday. I even had fries with vinegar. What was i thinking?! The only saving grace is that I had a really good workout. I hope that undos some of the damage.

Pigget, Christi and he family are still in my prayers.

Tia, It is good to hear from you. I am sorry your b-day was not what it was supposed to be but it sounds like your SO made it a nice day for you.


Can someone please tell me how to post a picture? I can not figure it out...

 

[punkin413]

Can someone please tell me how to post a picture? I can not figure it out...

you have to get an account with a picture hosting website, such as photobucket.com . that's who i use. it's free. anyway, just go there and create an account and upload your picture there (it's very easy). once a picture is uploaded, it will appear with several different codes underneath it. to post it here, you just copy the last code given (should start with IMG or something like that) and paste it in your post here. hope that helps!

 

[born2bird]

Thanks, Dawn!!

Here is the picture we got with Santa last night. Needless to say the baby was not feeling love for the big guy. Sorry this is so huge. Any suggestions...?

Hi all peeps. Sorry I haven't posted much lately, just too busy at work and home and with tons of medical appts.

Tia, continued pixie dust is flowing your way. This time last year, I was waiting on biopsy results for my cancer (which turned out to be positive). Looking backwards, I truly believe that the waiting and the not knowing is the worst part of it all. So hopefully you will soon know your test results and everything is negative.

Monica, your kitchen looks absolutely fantabulous. I'm sure you are just over the top excited about it.

Bird/Kim I LOVE your xmas picture. The baby is way too cute. And you know he's going to hate that pic in about 15 years.

I make my own dog food too. My little boy has a sensitive stomach and can't handle regular dog food so the vet told me to mix 75% turkey or chicken (white meat only) and 25% brown rice. They can also have scrambled eggs with the rice but my boy does not like eggs very much. I do not ever ever cook for my DH but those little dogs get home cooking every meal.

Dawn I was a vegetarian for 7 years. My downfall was tacos. I really struggled the last 2 years (first 5 never bothered me) wanting a taco. I finally caved and immediately reverted back to my carnivore ways.

Well I need to get off these disboards and back to work. It's very hectic here.

oh, i hope you're framing that one. it's classic!

as far as the size of the pics, if you're using photobucket, just log on to your account and it should go directly to the upload form. right in the upper righthand corner of the box it says "max image size" and then a number. then there's a clickable "options" next to it. click on that and you can adjust the picture size from there. but i like the big pictures......you can see everyone's pretty faces better!

pakey - you have such a good outlook on life! i need some advice from you. we just got news that our across-the-street neighbor, who is also a friend of ours, found a bump on his tongue and after a biopsy they know it's cancer. he's going to emory hospital in atlanta on january 3rd to see what treatment options he's going to have and how extreme it is. i know there's really no magic words we can say to comfort him, but i know you've been through this......does anything stick out in your mind that made you feel better when you first found out? i just feel so bad for him. they've got two young kids (5 and 2) and i think he's only like 32 or so.
