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

[dwheatl]

Hi Shannon. this is why we're lucky to have each other on here. Family weirdness about food is one of the reasons we have to have friends here to talk with. I wrote a long post about family food weirdness, but decided that I better not. Anyways, I can't always share weight loss struggles with my family because some are naturally thin and don't get it, some are obsessed with weight loss, and some are eating themselves to death. So I love to come here and hear from and share with people who know what it's like, and who can accept me for who I am.
Good luck with the butter!

Today is my "cheat day" too. Panera Bread Co.

Oooh! Could you pick me up their chicken apple walnut salad, and that bread with the cheese in it? Thanks!

Do you see an orthopedist, general practitioner, podiatrist or something else? My plan does not require referral. My regular MD has been worthless. Chiropracter fit me for the orthotic. The rheumatologist cant see me until NOVEMBER - Um HELLO? So, I am leaning toward calling a podiatrist but aside from trimming nails I really dont know what they are capable of doing.

A podiatrist, I didnt need a referral either. My ins. paid for the inital exam and xrays with a copay, and then I had to pay a large chunk for the rest. He had some other suggestions than the shots, but none of them helped me....so I had to suck it up and tough out the shots. the pain was over fast though I have to say....much better than the daily suffering.

And DENE- you look fantastic! I can really see it in your face alot!

OK, so I got my free treadmill and I am happy, and grateful. But no owners manual and I am having a heck of a time figuring it out. I can turn it on and adjust the basics, but it is supposed to have an auto incline and I cant seem to figure out how to operate it. There is no button for that I tried googling for it online and no luck. It is older so I am sure that is why. Ugh. I love the incline feature. Incline=more calories burned with very little extra work!

I had a horrible night last night, after I finally chewed my way out of the tape!

Pixie has my pillow I know and my goodie bag.

Sorry UM if we made you scream so hard your throat hurts!

OMG, that sounds good, too !!! I think I may just have to pencil in another "cheat day" . Today I had the Turkey Caprese and an iced green tea. I only ate half the sandwich before I got full and I usually have a german chocolate pastry, too. SO I did pretty good I have a ypgurt parfait from McD's in the fridge in case I get the munchies later.

I have obviously missed alot this weekend!

Sounds like "Mrs UM" had some party at her house...a sleepover and a velcro room?!? Wish I had been there!

It's been a crazy weekend here...worked 9 hrs yesterday and had my Grandsons 1st b'day party here today. I'm exhausted! I haven't totally caught up with everyone yet, but I will.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Good afternoon PEEPS!

I just finished working a 96 hour stretch in 2 weeks. 16 hrs of OT for my Mickey Money!

Yes, my BIRTHDAY really is 3/12/196?. I guess I'll skip the spend the night at UM house- I really dont like the cold- I get grouchy when it is in the 30's. We are going out to eat in a little while. Going to Flat Rock Cafe. I love the place- a bit pricey though. I can get grilled salmon, baked potatoe and asparagus- not too bad if I stay away from the Chocolate cake!!

My plantar faciatis(spelling?) is really acting up. I need new shoes- new balance works best for me- I have been wearing an arch band for support and taking lots of motrin and tylenol- it helps some but Im thinking I need to get the cortisone shot again. I cant stand to walk on the tredmill- it kills my foot after 15 min or so but the eliptical or the bike are ok- I just cant go as long on them.

I got my first "sun" exposure today. We have a friend who races a 4-wheeler and it was beautiful today- very sunny for my winter white legs- well they arent white anymore- a little pink-

Tell me about Hoodia and lemon water- what are you guys doing that Im not.
Well, see ya- going to eat my BDAY CAKE now Then I gotta get serious!
BYE

hey peeps just sittin here in sunny GA, enjoying 75 degree bright blue sunny sky weather napping in between the chapters of my book...

I am thinking of getting a cortisone shot myself, I'm getting aggravated about this stupid platar fasciitis..and the foot dr always tapes it up so comfy and I am so gracefull when I try to get into tub with out getting my wrapped foot wet...

so i thought about doing situps and pushups, does that count towards exercise today?

And Harley... I get to see my hunky trainer dude, Jay, tomorrow! Still trying to figure out how I'm going to get a picture of HIM!

Well, we saw 300, and I enjoyed it! I was a little surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did actually. The eye candy was great, and it was violent, but I found the cinematography very interesting, and while it was predictable, I liked it. We did the final "glueing" on Jasper's weave poles, so they should be ready to use tomorrow. We took her for a walk for about 20-30 minutes too.

We went to Marble Slab Creamery for my dessert item today. (I got the smallest size.) And I need to vent...

There were 2 teenage girls and a teenage boy in line behind us, and one of the girls says, "I am going to get fat!" I knew before I even saw her that she would be skinny, and I was right. She couldn't have been bigger than a size 3 or 5! And her friend wasn't much bigger, but said that she was bulking up too! Then the first girl says she is going on South Beach Diet this week! WHAT?!?!?!? I asked DH to throw her in the trash can, and he just laughed as if I was kidding!

 

[punkin413]

That makes me so mad. No wonder so many young girls have eating disorders. So sad

 

[dance2874]

I almost forgot my almost diet food recommendation of the day- Dreyers slow churned light, Save the Cake flavor. It is so good! It literally tastes like b-day cake and ice cream. It even has bits of sprinkles and icing in it. And only 1/2 the fat so it is almost diet food. I am enjoying some right now...MMMMM!

 

[punkin413]

okay this is gross but, do you not find yourself thinking when you go big potty that "hey maybe there went another pound - I should go weigh"

yes, it is gross. and yes, i DID that last friday after weigh-in. and it didn't help!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I know! I was amazed that she thought that! And it's really sad. I just have to wonder where she got the notion that she needed to lose any weight.

:

ZZ Top everybody! "A pearl necklace... she wore a pearl necklace..."

Is this a bad song? Like, does it mean what I think?

Trying to catch up.

Anyone else tired!? Why don't they do daylight savings on a Friday night so we have Sat. to recover. Just saying...The person who invented this must not have been a church-going person.

Oooh, I just had some of the Special Edition American Idol Choc' 'n' Roll light. Very yummy, chocolate and caramel. Almost diet food, also.

Yes it's naughty. It means what you think (a friend had to tell me).
Tomorrow's gonna be tough getting up for work. I don't like this time change, stomp, stomp.

hey, what am I chopped liver???

(and just so you know, I understand that there are so many of us peeps, we (that means ME) cant possibly begin to name names w/o leaving someone out -

so all us lurkers etc out there, know that being a part of this thread, means to belong... and OHANA to all of us... not one of us intentionally leaves another out... and it does happen, but NEVER intentional...

(unless you're trying to tell me somethin!!) *wink *wink

Sometimes I think they say that because they think it is cool, or because they think they have to because everyone else does. Or because they secretly are hoping their friends say, "No you dont! You are so skinny!" You know? So sad. Just goes to show our 'young girls' today are growing up in a very different world then I did. I certainly never thought that at that age. Maybe I should have
