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

[punkin413]

I lost 5.4 !!!!!! "All the lady's say, 'WOOT WOOT'"

WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!

did i tell you i took a bathing suit picture? i am still so horrified by it.

you'll be glad you did. it was my motivation. i took one in january 2007. in march i took another to see the difference and THERE WAS NONE!!!! that's when i decided that i had HAD IT and finally got my butt in gear and did something about it!

I have no idea why - but I'm down 1 #

I'll probably gain it as soon as I drink a glass of water!!

I'm jusst verry verrry nervous - 5 more sleeps till I run 13.1 miles...

YOU'RE GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!!! we all know you can do it!

I need to vent - I'm ready to dive into the chocolate-

everything that can go wrong IS GOING WRONG!

money - overdrawn at the bank (automatic withdrawl gone very bad)
DVC - renting points - we dont have ANY paperwork - I cant call to make sure we are in magical express - I can wait till 48 hrs before arrival and call and check tho...

I just want to go back to bed and cry. I HATE not having money!!

i know the feeling about money.

I am sooo sorry that this is happening. Why haven;t they sent the paperwork. Are you in contact with the renters. They can fax your checkin to the resort if needed. Good luck with this.

GOOD JOB TODAY, EVERYBODY!!!

Pixie! Post it! It counts! I'm just trying to get off the 8 lbs I've gained since Disney but just because I've lost it before doesn't mean it doesn't count.

Ok then -4

Well, I am posting the gained again/lost again weight this week, because i never lose this much weight in a week. Since Jan 1, I am DOWN 5.8! I know some is water and some is but some is fat and I'm happy to see all of it gone. and at least I'm back below my beginning weight. Congrats to all the losers. Pixie dust to anyone who is having a hard time getting back on the wagon.

Pixie dust to Monica and Danielle for your childrens health!

Thanks to everyone who sent pixie dust for the kids. Both are sleeping it off. Like Monica, I wish I could just take this on myself. I hate to see my kids suffer.
Monica, are the hives from the antibiotics? DD is allergic to sulfa drugs, and we found out when she went all splotchy, itchy, and puffed up. Anyway, your boy is in my prayers. I know it's so scary when their illness drags on like this.

We're taking down the Christmas stuff today. I'm actually sorry to see it go. It can be a lot of work but my house looks kind of bare with out it. I moved a ton of stuff when we painted and haven't done any of the decorating that I want to finish the room. I need so much stuff that I almost don't know where to start.

Have a good weekend y'all!

I'm planning to take down indoor decorations today. I hate putting the Christmas stuff away. My house is so much prettier with it up. I don't want to go outside because we are having a phenomenal storm with 35 MPH winds. I'm afraid our neighbors are going to hate us, because our palm fronds are all over the street. I went out to pick some up after I got the kids to bed, and it was like I had taken a shower with my clothes on. And of course, as soon as I came in 5 more fell down.

I am hoping to find a talking scale like Garfield's, which insults you by saying things like, "One at a time, please". Cause who would not enjoy being mocked by a weight-measuring apparatus?

DH and I love those Garfield cartoons. "Ouch!" "No trucks!"

Here's some Beach Boys for ya: "Don't worry baby, everything will turn out alright."

Have a good day all. Hope everyone is staying warm.

The week one results of our Valentines Day Challenge

Let me know if I missed you!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Wow Aaron... now my heart is all aflutter because of your beautiful fabulous marvelous and fantastic spreadsheet.

Sign me up! I don't believe we have formally been introduced. My name is Twinkie. My Valentine's goal is to lose 12.5 lbs and this week I lost 2.5 lbs.


I credit my famous "Quit Eatin' So Much" diet and "Totally 80s Dance Like You are Crazy" workout (thanks Monica for the challenge!)

 

[aldisneygrl]

Aaron - I want to be on that chart, but I'll have to give you specifics after we get back from Disney, ok?

Sandy - Hang in there! I know it will work out. I called ME yesterday and they told me that my return flight number was invalid. I just don't understand that because that is the same flight that leaves there and comes here EVERY day. I may call back and talk to someone different. You know how that goes. Having no money is the pits.

Mony - I hope the new meds help you son. I know that has got to be awful for a mama to watch.

Y'ALL ARE A BUNCH OF LOSERS!!!! said with the utmost of affection.

You missed me! I am in for the v-day challenge. I need to lose 7 more pounds to make my valentine day goal of being anywhere in the 130s by the time valentine day rolls around..thanks

 

[punkin413]

i just received an e-mail from lynda asking that i post her weigh-in info for her. she's at work and can't DIS and she and josh are going out tonight for her birthday, so she won't be around until later and didn't want to hold up the totals.

she said she hasn't weighed in two weeks but is + 2 pounds since then. i asked her if she wanted to be a part of the valentine's day challenge and i'll let aaron know when she gets back to me (or maybe she'll be on here later this weekend and beat me to it!).

Hives are the WORST. I had them 2 years back and they finally gave me prednisone and a prescription cream to get them to go away. It is like being wrapped in fiberglass insulation. Poor little guy!!

He went to his Dr. today. I love his Dr. He doesn't believe Matt has pneumonia and thinks it's being over diagnosed. He believes Matt has an Asthmatic Bronchitis condition going on and he has an ear infection. The ER Dr. said there was fluid. No, it's infected. Dr. Gary, I'll call him, gave Matt prednisone, and inhaler, and told us to keep Matt on the New meds, (Z-pak or Zithromax).

I've already seen a difference. He's asked to eat twice!

I used a different flour yesterday to bread his chicken. I called the company and they assured me there is no egg or peanut used in the facility period.

I called the company that made the new fever reducer medicine we bought him and cleared that. That leaves the Amoxicillin. I'm just going to assume he has developed an allergy to that.

What a whirl wind.

Makes one want to..........diet!

WOW!! Glad that you guys took him to his reg. Dr. today. I hate the ER!!! When Rebekah was so sick before TG I held out for her Dr. rather than going to the ER and she was very, very sick. Glad that he is doing better. I have known people to become allergic to meds later in life---its like it has to build up in your system and then it decides--ya know I really do not like you! My oldest son could take Children's liquid Motrin but could not take the chewables--he was allergic to the binding ingredients just in that one. Could take Tylenol chewable fine. It is just so odd.

Here is to a speedy recovery

 

[pigget74]

Tomorrow Joshua and I go to Christi's youngest sons birthday party. He turns 2. Her DH called me earlier this week and asked us to attend. They have decided not to continue radiation---her quality of life with the radiation is not good. They did tell her DH that if she does not continue the tumor will come back. She has lost a lot of vision and strength due to the radiation. No one is really saying anything it is just SAD as her DH says. He is in limbo as to where she can go from the hospital. He was hoping that she could go to rehab, but since the very high fever she had because of the radiation she has not regained any strength. So he does not know id rehab will even take her. That fever did A LOT of harm on her body--as he says it just about killed her. He is LOST, but going strong for the boys. Please continue to pray for them. I was not able to visit her earlier --he is hoping that I can go this weekend depending on how she is doing.


How is it that when little boys get a haircut they look so much older!! Joshua was in major need of one lilke a month overdue actually and now he looks do old and CUTE!!

I know about the money troubles. sending you hugs girl

I think my scale is saying, please, please make this quick. Actually, it does have this little +/- thing that is supposed to signify how overweight you are. Of course mine is maxed out, sigh.

mine says, "one of you has to get off"

Wow, I am so glad they finally gave him something that is helping!! When I had hives so bad that time, I tried my regular doc and all he gave me was allergy meds (which did nothing and made me sleeeeeeepy). The prednisone worked like a champ, within a day or two the agony was pretty much gone. Hope that it continues to work for him!

Cardio is 25-40 min on either the elliptical or the "arc" trainer, 3-5 times a week.

Weights is usually 25-30 reps of bicep, tricep, shoulder, lat pulldown, rows, chest press, chest fly, back fly, leg press, leg extension, leg curl, those two hip adductor (sp?) machines (for inner and outer leg), some sort of oblique/lower back ab machine thingy, and then 50-100 crunches on the ball. I mix up between free weights and different machines... sometimes if I am in a hurry I do the express section my gym has that has all the machines in a circle.

I have gone through phases where I did different muscle groups on different days, like Monday tricep/chest, Wed back/bicep, Fri shoulder/legs, and did a bunch of different free weights and machines on a set schedule for each muscle group to exhaustion. Lately I have just been doing the 25-30 reps of all muscle groups on each day and sticking to 1-2 different types per group, and just switching it up mostly based on whim.

I do my reps as 10 on a weight that is moderately easy, 10 on one that is hard, and a many as I can on one that is really hard, up to 10.

How about you?

 

[harleygirl]

I was doing chest/tri , back/bi's, legs/shoulders (and abs everyday) before christmas, but now am doing upper and lower alternating and cardio in between days...mon upper, tues cardio, wed lower, thurs cardio...feels wierd tho and i miss some of the exercises if that doesnt sound stupid i dont know what does.

tonight i did upper body, 12,10,8,6 with progressive weight then drop back a bit and do 12 more at a weight that brings failure. my chest and back are tight, but my arms were so fatigues by the time i got to them i dont know that i got as much out of them...i'll try this for 4 weeks and see how i do, then i'll go back to something else...
