UM this is for you, I saw it when hubby and i went out to dinner and I whipped out my phone and took the pick and said UM needs this!

That's from cheeburger cheeburger! I'm pretty sure anyway - there is one just about 5-10 minutes away from my house! OMG - it's the best.

 

[Wonders10]

Peeps! I am not having a good week. Foodwise that is. Not at all. I'm eating everything in sight and then feeling guilty or like I totally blew it and then I just let myself do whatever I want. I'm feeling out of control like I was Pre-Peeps and over the Christmas Holidays (in which I gained probably close to 10 lbs). Not good. I keep telling myself prior to eating it, buying it, while eating it, whatever - that it is not good for me, I can make a better choice and that looking cute on my cruise or dropping a size is so much more important than (insert chosen food here). I do not want to go to WW this week. I cannot take seeing another gain on that scale. This would be the third week in a row that I had a gain. Granted the first gain was expected but last week and this week I should have been able to lose. So frustrated and angry with myself. And feeling like I'm letting everyone down (here and at home). I don't know what I have to tell myself to get out of this slump. I feel like I'm telling myself the right things and I know what to do but I can't convince myself to do it. I'm a mess. Last night I was in such a bad binge mode that I was eating food I never eat. Like the food that has been sitting in the pantry for months and I never have a desire to eat. If I'm going to binge I'd at least like it to be on food I enjoy. But no, I blew it on a VERY old bag of gross potato chips. And other stuff. Ok, vent over. I need to devise a plan and get to it ASAP.

Oh and here's another kicker. (Female talk - Men beware) AF must missed her flight because she is 5 days late. I was supposed to get it on Friday. I'm not on any BC or anything so I just track it online and it reminds me every month when I'm about to get it. Usually it's exactly right or off by a day. Here it is, Tuesday and nothing. And now that I keep thinking about it, I'm probably slowing it down even more. And no I did not sip any Peep water or have a bun in the oven - unless I'm going to be giving birth to the next Jesus (please don't be offended by that - just sayin' - not preggers).

Ok, now I'm officially done. I have class in about a half hour and then I have to go home and decorate more gosh darn cookies. But I wll be back to read and catch up. Have a great Tuesday!

I'm not eeyore of course, but I think she was referring to the codes and rates board on the dis. They are usually pretty fast to post any codes that come out over there. I am going to need a roomate and a deal to go in Jan, but I really want to go!

Good Golly Miss Molly - am I the only one having trouble posting today? I made 2 posts that dont show up!!

Yes, that's it - I posted more about it, I havent given up, just need to try again!!

Lets see if this one posts! 2 tries later...

January Do any of us Peeps have WDW Annual Passes? Or AAA insurance/membership - from what I've heard during that busy weekend, these may (may) be the only "discounts" (well Florida residence also may get a discount) available - but you can book up to 3 rooms with any discount!!

I too plan to go - if we dont go in Sept DH will surely go... if I run the 1/2 dh will go... so he may run numbers and buy an ap, but if you have an AP no Disney Dining Plan, you can buy for $75 and an AP A DDE card for 20% - Disney math... gives one a headache!!

Shannon - I have been that way for a couple of weeks now. Knowing I shouldn't eat something, but eating it anyway. Well, yesterday I saw my profile in the mirror. I was only wearing my bra and underwear. Well, it wasn't a pretty sight! There were rolls everywhere, and that is what it took to kick me in the pants, and take this seriously again. Try it, and maybe it will motivate you. I told my DH to take a picture of me in a bikini, with fat rolls and all, and let me put it on the mirror. That way it is a daily reminder. I want to look better in that bathing suit, not that I would wear it out in public , but I do want to look better.

Here's hoping you have a slimming rest of the week!

Sounds like you have fallen off the wagon AND sat in the ruts this week but it is time to jump back on join us on the journey!! Come on you can do it , we're cheering for you!!

Thanks! I just went over there and posted on the Jan 2008 code watch. That is the only way I would be able to go too.

It just ate one of mine. I had a whole reply typed out and then *POOF* it was gone! Anyway, I am thinking about looking into a AAA membership. It would possibly save me in other ways too. I'm not registering for the Fun Run until I know for sure that I can come. I wouldn't want to take someone's spot away from them. I can always be a cheerleader if I don't get in. Going to have to do some fuzzy Disney math to figure it out. I just wish they would release 2008 rates. That way I would know how much it would cost.

 

[bradford82]

Can I join in the fun. I just found this thread. I started losing weight last May for my up coming Disney trip in August. I lost 40 lbs by the trip. I have continued and I have now lost over 80 lbs and I would like to lose 38 more. To keep me motivated I have decided to run the Minnie marathon in 2008 to celebrate changing my life. At least it sounds good on paper, but now the reality of running 15k is starting to set in. I may have lost my mind. Must be all this dieting

 

[punkin413]

It was a beautiful day... had rained a little earlier. Cleared up nicely... rode with the car window down. Go home... eat lunch... check on peeps... hear the bulldozers on my street outside. Wait, that isn't the bulldozer, that's thunder. Cool... it's raining... hard. Several minutes later... IT'S RAINING AND MY WINDOW IS STILL DOWN! Run out in the rain barefoot with a couple of towels and the keys to roll it up. Get it dried up... come in... within a few minutes the rain stops.

At least it was the back window and not the front.

Hope I can get through the mudpit they are currently calling my street... gotta go to the gym!

i think this happens to everyone at some point! my husband has left my sunroof open overnight before in the rain....twice. and once it rained on my sirius radio remote control and now the remote doesn't work. not that it's really hard to reach a few extra inches to turn the channel! and all that water is not fun to clean up!!! and i'm the one that had to clean it up because...of course...neither one of us realized it had happened until he's already left for work and i'm on my way. anyway, hope your mess wasn't too bad to deal with!

 

[dance2874]

Dene...it is pouring here too. I was driving home from dance this afternoon and I saw some lightning hit a few feet in front of my car. Scared the bejezzus out of me! You are in FW, right? I am up in McKinney so I am surprised it is pouring there too.

Shannon- I have been the same way the past few weeks. This week has been better but it is only tuesday It is a long battle but I think the best thing is to do it one day at a time. Try with just one meal at a time to stay on track. And if for some reason you fall off the wagon, dont use that as an excuse to stay off it all day. Get right back on at the next meal. (easier said than done, I realize) Also, WW has a 'no weigh in pass' you can use, no questions asked. You can go for the meeting and skip the weigh in. If it will really sidetrack you to see a gain, go to the meeting but skip the scale.

 

[dance2874]

Welcome Bradford! This is a great group of people here and it is a very supportive place to be. And congrats on the work you have done so far! 80 pounds is fantastic!!

Welcome this is a great thread, post a bio so we know all about you.

That's from cheeburger cheeburger! I'm pretty sure anyway - there is one just about 5-10 minutes away from my house! OMG - it's the best.

WOnders 10 you won the prize but shhhhhhhhhhh... dont let anyone know i cheated a little going there!

 

[msteddom]

Can I join too???

The weather just turned warm here in So. Cal. Bathing suit season in March is just cruel and unusual, and I'm not ready for it!

I did WW online a few years ago and had sucess with it, so I think I will try that again.

My goal is to lose 25 pounds by Aug, for my WDW vacation. Wearing shorts that are a size too small does not do good things to your inner thighs. I learned that painful lesson last summer!

Looking forward to meeting you all, and getting back on the right track!

Melissa

[Dizneydawn]

Hey everyone...I am out of our local house of horrors. Here is the condensed version. I had phylo-nephrites (SP???) which is where the infection settles into the kidney. Usually w/ UTI's etc. it starts in the bladder and works its way up but this actually started in the right kidney where I do not have full functioning. If I could explain what is like to pee on needles while lava is flowing out of your HooHobber and the intense need to get that lava out is like someone twisting a knife inside and by the way Rocky is giving blows to the right side of your back...yeah...that is a kidney infection.

Then the great part is that you need pain medicine...which causes nausia to set in and vommiting to insue. This of course means that they want you to eat because w/ food you won't be so sick..but you have to stop throwing up long enough to eat. I have no pride in telling you I had to have my Mommy come get me on Friday because I could not even walk by myself.

So there was a few hot male nurses...hot Dr.s and my Chef de'Room service was smokin... but that could have been an illusion of the Dillodid and Percoset and Levaquin Trifecta I was on... if they had 3 teeth on the same jaw...I saw beauty. Did get sponge baths though...

I need to go to the Mayo now and see some specialists. Not sure what I want as an end result. No really great outcome.

Meanwhile...back in the real world...I need help if anyone is willing. Through my work I have a goal that is ending this month after 7 months of hard work. Missing 5 days was crucial on top of the whole foot injury of 3 weeks ago. I am worried it will be close. So...

If anyone needs some free Tupperware..please P.M. me and I will get you tons if you help me out by having a book party/e-party etc. No pressure just know God provides to those who ask and I am starting to ask...Have learned recently that counting only on myself does not allow others to help and know how much I need them. Believe me...I have missed u guys and letting you know I do need u in my life.

The more the meerier! You will find lots of support here. I used to live in So cal, I know how cruel those early summers can feel when you are not ready for shorts yet!

HOLY COW! I hope you get to feeling better really soon. No shame in asking for your mommy. I know that always makes me better when I get really sick too I could try to do an e-party for you. I dont know a ton of people, so I am not sure if there is a minimum total for it to count. Send me a PM with details and I will see what I can do. I used to do Partylite candles and I know how hard it can be to hit those sales goals, especially when you are not feeling yourself!

 

[Bee]

Dawn,

Welcome back. So glad you are out of the hospital. Hopefully, the peeps will help you out. They are a great group of people and they always come through for their "family'

I am sorry you have so much to do to get to goal. How stressful. All I can tell you is I will do the best to help you. I know how important it is to you.

PEEPS RULE!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

The Sponge Bob set and the Aurora Sippy Cup (from parts catalog) wont help much. Misty and I each want Sponge Bob Tware.

GOSH you're descriptive of the kidney infection! Sorry I laughed REALLY hard at your poor expense! (They're only hot if they have FOUR teeth on each jaw, missy! Sponge bath or NOT!)

Hi - any order helps...let me know if you want me to get ya my website. I know...4 teeth are better..but when you've got your narcotics goggles on...ya tend to throw caution to the wind.
