DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

[pixiedust23]

Would you mind letting one more WISHing DISer join your thread? I'm looking to diversify my workouts so I'm looking for suggestions in that department. If you're looking to buy shorts, I just bought my first pair (non-gym) in over 6 years at old navy. I didn't want to spend a lot on them b/c I'm not sure how comfortable I'm going to be in them. I'm going to try them out in WDW in 2 weeks. I'm very nervous! I just hate the when you sit down, you leg expands, and it gets suffocated by the leg hole on the shorts!

Shag? I've never heard of it. I MUST rent it!


Shorts are hard. Either Grandma shorts up to your ribcage or slutty shorts. Once in a while, I've had luck buying guys shorts. Also in Utah, dressing modestly is expected so there's tons of stores that cater to that. I can send you a link if anyone wants it.

Modest is the Hottest!

Shag is a type of dance we do here in NC.

Wanna see my bunny cake? I am a bit proud of this because I wasnt sure I could pull it off. The bunny is actually 2 halves being held together with chocolate buttercream. The bow is fabric in case you cant tell, and the eggs are cadbury mini eggs My favorite I am not sure I am going to be able to cut this one, I may have to make somebody else do it!

That is so cute!!!! I've always wanted to do cake decorating but my atempts are always terrible. Can I have a piece?????

I haven't belonged to a church since I was 8 yo!! My best friend and I started to going to this real nice Luthran church. Very small (what I like) and not filled with a lot of guilt or rules that you find at other churches. Then my best friend stopped going. So I haven't been since T-giving. I really want to go again but it sucks to go alone. DF is a non-practicing Catholic with no interest in church whatsoever. Which is fine by me. I think he may come around when we have kids. So anyway, I just have to make myself go..even though I'd be alone.

I do think its hard to go alone - maybe if you were to join a Bible Study, or teach a Sunday school class you'd feel less alone - and still have the community spirit...

Luv it Uma - I am HUGE - somewhere between 18 and 20, and I've had a couple of guy shorts (luv the pockets... cargo shorts for camping! but I had to have a 44! those are fallin off now!) I've gotten mine at Carson's, Macy's, always on the sale/clearance rack - when I have no choice - I cannot stand to wear long pants in the hot humid weather - so I dont care how ugly I may look in shorts, I'm wearin 'em !! I've gotten the wick ones at Target, and Walmart!

We are church homeless right now. I.>>>>_______ - - - began teaching my kids things I dont believe or agree with. For example thier relatvies who dont come and are not born again will burn for eternity in damnation.Nice. Way to scare the kids. Telling them they will go to h-e-double toothpicks if they watch certain tv shows etc. Bad stuff. I met my husband and began spending time away because he was from another state.Consequently I missed severel of weeks at church.I didnt know about the upcoming vote for pastor and youth pastors to get a raise and the pastor to buy the parsonage at lower than assessed value from church. I was contacted by deacons and told I had to resign my memebership to temporary associate status because they feared people who dont attend regulary could vote against them on these two issues. I was so mad about the way thus was handled that I have not been back in two years. I feel that if someone would "fix" a vote they are evil and liars and I will not have liars teaching my kids the word of God. So, for now we dont go to church because I am having trust issues. I still pray daily and still believe. I hope you all have a blessed Easter (or whatever you celebrate) and stay skinny

This is so sad!! Nothing illustrates that the church is made of HUMANS, and is suseptable to HUMAN behaviour than your experience! We had a mess of changing Pastors, and human horror stories too - I left... went to a church that didnt want me (hard to believe! but I wanted my son in the Lutheran Confirmation program - they were horrid, and I think part of the reason DS is so neutral with HUMAN churches!) *sigh... so I went back to the church that was falling apart - I cant say I'm a regular, I will when DD has to go thru Confirmation... One of the huge congregational discussions we had was the topic of "GLOBAL Church" I was so emotional that night - stood my ground and said that the God I believe in would not condem my Jewish neighbor/brother/ sister when the Bible says the Jews are His chosen people, the God I believe in would not condemn... well, you seem to be in the same vein as I am - I dont pretend to understand God's timing, or see us in His eyes... but I know He has a plan for me... I love that poster that said... "God made me, and God doesnt make junk"

I just dont want to travel an hour for a church!

I must move more... eat less....

Congrats! That is a great looking cake. Where did you find the directions?




I am just stopping by, so I don't eat anymore deviled eggs & junk...waiting for my family to get here and our ham to cook. I bought my ham earlier this week. It was too big to fit in the fridege, so I asked my DH to bring it down stairs to our extra fridge and put it in the fridge. WELL...I sent him down stairs to get it this AM, before Church...he came up and told me to prepare myself...I was going to be really mad at him


He put our 10 LBS. Ham in the freezer! My ham was frozen solid! I put it in the sink with cold water for a few minutes, so I could release the wrapper from the ham. I then looked up several websites and got info on how to cook a frozen ham...

I then went to get myself some ice water, to bring with me in the car and a 15 LBS. bag of ice fell out of the freezer on my foot.

We didn't make it to church

What an Easter... I have got to keep out of the jelly beans now!

Shag? I've never heard of it. I MUST rent it!

yes, you must! it came out in the late '80's or early '90's, i think. so you'll probably only be able to find a VHS version in the movie rental store. the only two people i know that are in it are bridget fonda and phoebe cates. SUCH a good movie! you'd love it!

WELCOME!!!!!! i'm sure you'll love it here. it's a great group!

well, i'm off to easter "dinner" (dinner at 3:00 - whatever!) at MIL's house. yippee! hopefully she'll have something i can eat and won't ruin my entire calorie count for the day. i've only eaten oatmeal and a lowfat cheese quesadilla so far in hopes that when i get home and count up the cals for what i've eaten there won't ruin the day for me!

I hate that!!! My shorts always look/feel nice until I sit down and then thunder thighs tears at the seams. That's another reason I need new jeans..the inner thigh seams are about to split. Lovely.

That's a gorgeous cake!! I hope you induldge yourself and have a piece. I am eyeing those CM Eggs...in a PP I admitted they were my weakness. Luckily they are all usually sold out by the day after Easter so I am not tempted at a half-off sale!

Sounds like something DF would do!! I hope it still comes out alright!! Maybe that's your excuse to not eat any??

I was supposed to wake DF from his nap 20m. ago to head over to see the in-laws. I am evil. We were supposed to leave 6m. ago. Ugh..I dread seeing future SIL. I wonder how many more "rules" she will say I have today? If I don't eat much for dinner, and she says something, I will tell her that's another one of my "rules." How I live for controversy!! MWHAHAHA!

 

[denecarter]

I did some shopping today. And some nice things happened.

Way to go!

Spongie and I are BLONDE today after playing beauty shop today.

Any glamour shots for us?

night peeps I have a date with chocolate and my DH who hasnt been home sincec last week

oooo la la... Yep, your evening was definitely better than mine

but God led me here, and I cant give up, I cant quit.

That's right!

I hate when I actually go to the Y and do the pilates class, and I spend the whole time adjusting my pants and shirt to minimize the fat exposure

For me, pilates has not been as bad as yoga... I've incorporated pulling down my shirt into several of the moves... "arms above your head... now sweep down into prayer as Dene' tugs on her shirt". The worst part is the down dogs ... I don't like clingly clothes, and I can't stand stuff tight around my neck ('specially when exercising), so it never fails that I spend every down dog looking through the neck of my shirt to my belly. But seeing it does help remind me to suck in my abs.

Y'all had me curious about Shag, so I went to look it up on Internet Movie Database... it came out in 1989 which totally explains why I had never heard of it either.

 

[dance2874]

Congrats! That is a great looking cake. Where did you find the directions?

Well, I sort of improvised. The pan is an old Wilton pan. My mom used to make cakes for everything so she had this one. The pan comes in 2 pieces, so I figured that you just made it that way and stick it together. I now find out that I could have filled one pan up and put the other half on top like a lid and I would have had a bunny in one piece. Oh well, this way I got to fill it with chocolate buttercream!

I tried yoga a few times and I hated it. With a passion. But pilates is somewhat similar and I love it. Maybe the teacher? I dont know. But I do remember doing the down dogs and looking through my shirt too I hate clingy stuff too.

Happy Easter Peeps! Our easter bunny always comes saturday morning which makes for a nice relaxing easter! Another bonus is my kids aren't on a sugar rush during 3 hours of church. The bunny even brought me an emerald ring!!! That's the first time I've gotten something fromt he easter bunny since I married him!

You married thhe Easter bunny?! In my house I am the easter bunny and I only gave DH a box of jelly bellys and some white chocolate reeses eggs

I was thinking something totally different.................along the lines of the british definition of "shag"!

I am so picturing Austin Powers right now

That is so cute! I made my first bundt cake. A low fat lemon poppy seed with powdered sugar and lemon glaze. what the family doesnt know is I used applesauce in place of eggs and butter , cut the milk in half with water and used splenda in place of sugar. It came out looking and tasting so good! your cake looks too cute to eat. Well, maybe I could have just and ear.....

I feel better knowing I am not alone. I do hope we can find the right church for us. I think it is importan especially for the kids. I dont expect church to be a museum for saints rather a home for sinners but I also dont expect the people in charge to be such bad examples. I dont believe in churches condemning people either. I agree, God didnt make any mistakes.

We are church homeless right now. I am becoming disillussioned with the minister/pastors and the whole financial aspect of it. I was raised Methodist. Our church was tiny and from the 1700's. I loved the place and the people.Unfortunatel as older folks passed on not enough new folks joined. Then the treasurer stole from the church and long story short it was sold to make condos. We went to a new church where a lot of former membrs went and there were so many hippocrites. I knew of several people having affairs including a fellow choir member and the pastor. I just felt it wasnt right so we left. We hopped around and I finally felt we found a church where we were at home. It is a Congregational. The minister is from the South and was a little more conservative than the old pne but I still enjoyed his preaching and the kids seemed to be learning in Sunday school and liked youth group. Then things began to change. We became part of a large cluster which is much more conservative and much more cultish. The Sunday school teacher began teaching my kids things I dont believe or agree with. For example thier relatvies who dont come and are not born again will burn for eternity in damnation.Nice. Way to scare the kids. Telling them they will go to h-e-double toothpicks if they watch certain tv shows etc. Bad stuff.

So sorry to hear that. They have obviously lost their "focus" which should be Christ. I don't believe he would have ever treated people that way. I hope you are able to find a church. I wouldn't trade my church family for anything. They are so supportive.

What an absolutely beautiful cake! I would have a hard time cutting it too. Although it looks absolutely YUMMY!

I see that you ticker says that you are getting married in 5 DAYS! How do you have time to come visit with us? I was a crazy mess that close to my wedding. Good luck with the SIL and hopefully there won't be any new rules today.



For all of those looking for shorts, I just got a Land's End catalog, and it has varying lengths of shorts. There is 5", 7", 10" and 12". They are a little more expensive, but they are nice looking, and are probably made pretty well.



We had our indoor Easter Egg hunt this morning. It went pretty well. DD got a Lil'kinz Panda, and DS got money in a golden egg. Now we have TONS of chocolate in the house. I just LOVE REESE'S! Luckily, I think my DH is going to take most of the chocolate with him to work tomorrow. That way it is out of sight out of mind. My new goal is to weigh less than DH. I have 14 lbs. to go. Please WISH me luck!

Happy Easter Peeps!

Ok, in reality I am the easter bunny, he just get's the glory!

How awful! We really enjoy this preacher, and DH decided to join. I'm not too picky, but I will voice my opinion if I'm not crazy about a place. DH said he feels comfortable there, so we'll give it a whirl. I refuse to get too involved, I mean, I want to have friends and fellowship, but dang, none of that political mess, thankyouverymuch.

Today hasn't been a great eating day, not eating on a regular schedule, and had french toast (at least I did SF syrup) for lunch.

No idea what's for dinner. Probably salmon and a salad to make up for today's boo-boos.

For me, pilates has not been as bad as yoga... I've incorporated pulling down my shirt into several of the moves... "arms above your head... now sweep down into prayer as Dene' tugs on her shirt". The worst part is the down dogs ... I don't like clingly clothes, and I can't stand stuff tight around my neck ('specially when exercising), so it never fails that I spend every down dog looking through the neck of my shirt to my belly. But seeing it does help remind me to suck in my abs.

Oh my gosh, I do the SAME THING in pilates! I hate when I have to stop over and over to adjust my shirts, but it's better than tugging at one that's too tight feeling. I love pilates - it makes me feel strong.

Tell her one of your rules is she cant make fun of your rules

I got one snide jab from her today. DF bowled a 300 last month and got a free ring b/c of it. Nice ring but he agrees it is too tacky to wear to the wedding. It is sorta like a high school ring. Anyway, SIL asked if he was wearing it to the wedding and I said no but he's wearing it at the rehearsal. Then she said in her sweet, but EXTREMELY condescending voice, "Don't you think he has earned the right to wear it whenever he wants?" Um I hate her. I know it sounds so petty but if you could only hear the tone she takes with me. I just ignore her.

I see that you ticker says that you are getting married in 5 DAYS! How do you have time to come visit with us? I was a crazy mess that close to my wedding. Good luck with the SIL and hopefully there won't be any new rules today.

Yeppers...Friday is the big day. We have dealt with so much crap from the future in-laws that I haven't had time to get nervous. It really hasn't even sunk in yet..I bet by Thursday things will change!!! I should have told SIL today when she made the ring comment that Ray not wearing it was one of my rules. Hmm.

I did ok on resisting the candy. Just ok. Had 2 cookies and 4 small pieces of chocolate. Better then I usually would have done. I figure this week and next will be off for me b/c of the wedding and all that delicious food! BUT..I do have the week off so if it warms up a bit I hope to get back to walking!! How did everyone else do on resisting the treats??

um.....does anyone know the calorie count for a very, very small sliver of chess pie???

i can't find it at calorieking.com. any ideas?
