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

. . . I have come to a realization. I have really just begun this lifestyle change. I mean, I have been at it for not quite 2 months, and it will be a long road. I have had some success, and I am confident that I will have more. And simply making the changes and starting the journey has made me a happier person! Not that this is shocking, but I feel like I have already succeeded just by making the effort. Today I feel like its a certainty that I will eventually get to where I want to be weight/health-wise. And that is an amazing feeling! It has felt like so long since I was there, and now I feel like I am on my way home or something. It's like when we leave for WDW. It's a long trip, but I'm happy just to be on the way. I also realized that I don't think I would be having this kind of success this time if it weren't for you all. I have never believed in scales, and I have not gone down a size yet. If I didn't know that I had lost 15 lbs already, I would be getting very frustrated. I probably wouldn't be writing down what I ate every day either. And I know I wouldn't be as disciplined if I didn't have to be accountable to you all. So, I just want to thank you all for being here! Love you all! :goodvibes Is it January '08 yet? I want to hug me some Peeps! :grouphug: :rotfl:
Amen, Lynda! I have been feeling much the same way. I didn't get my new bling today, but I'm now at 13 pounds off and it feels GREAT (even if it's not visible on the outside yet).

Hi everyone. I am a newbie and I love the DIS . . .
:welcome:

Hey peeps, just want to let y'all know I'm still here. I've been keeping up, just haven't felt like posting. I'm in some sort of funk, I feel like carp, I'm tired and grouchy. Tonight, I'm sitting here with my gut hanging over my pants and feeling like a slob. (they are tinly little hipster pants though so hanging over is a given.....) I just typed out a whole depressing post but don't want to affect everyone else.

I really feel like things are falling apart. I guess I'm going to have to find a way to deal with how I'm feeling. I'm about to get angry about things and I don't want to let it go on y'all.

If I don't post for a while, please know I'm thinking about everyone and talk about you frequently.
Don't leave, MHL!!!!!!!!!!! We need you and we're here for YOU! Vent away (by PM to your best buddies, if that is more comfortable than doing so publicly). It can really help!

WOOO HOOOOOOOTY, Melinda, on 1,000 posts!

Hope you have a magical trip, Aries!!!!


I collapsed at school and was seen by my Dr who gave me an earful about working the 3 jobs! He insisted I let them go and keep the one. As a driver for school we have physicals and my doc threatened to report to the school that he is suspending my physical medical clearance. I had to resing over the phone at Dr office to realtor. I felt like such a weenie. I had a fever of 104 and he is very concerned about the lupus and how he feels I am treating my body rather unkindly!

FIDGY, please take good care of yourself the rest of this week.

My test tonight went very well. I'm pretty sure anyway. Just have to study for the small test tomorrow night and get some things together. I'm soooo tired! I can't wait for Friday (my sleep in day).

P.S. I think I'm gaining this week . . . I just gotta drink drink drink!
YAY on the test! See the doc if you need to about your mouth if it doesn't feel better in a couple days. Try not to stress too much about the weight, just keep on drinking that water and hop on the wagon if you need support!
 
I started my assignment tonight and realized it is not due until Friday! Wooohooo, I can put this whole traumatic experience off until Thursday! I am the worst procratinator - still haven't started my trip report. I think I will weight until UM, Slate, Princessv, and Noni finish theirs - Who could keep up with all of that.

Harley, you are hilarious! Get creative and try to move around and make designs!
 
Another rotten day. Can my life get any more hectic?? Sometimes I wonder.

One of our beloved kitties escaped last night. I was running out to check on a friend who thought she was in labor around 10 pm. He must have snuck out when I left. He was certainly not here this morning. None of my kitties go out. The other 2 have been looking for him today. It is breaking my heart....especially because I think I let him out! :sad2: He snuck out once a yr or so ago and came home the following night, so I am praying he does the same. I am so upset, I feel sick. Not to mention DD keeps telling me she is worried about him and misses him. Like I need to hear that too:guilty: We have had these cats for over 8 yrs now and they are like kids to me. I have been checking for him all over the neighborhood and keep checking my yard. I even have my windows open so he can maybe hear us and find his way home.

Pray that he makes a safe return home soon please.

Welcome back UMA ...We missed ya!:hug:
 
Whoooo Hooooo UM is back :yay: Hope you had a great trip, loved your video, and Tracy's photos. :thumbsup2:
 
GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!!! :sunny:

Thanks for all the woo-hooties yesterday!!! It'll be a long time til I get to a 5-digit post so thanks for making it special. I didn't even post again yesterday. I liked looking at that big round number....isn't that silly! Anyway....thanks!!!
I would love to join if it's ok.
:welcome: Angelicswtnss! You'll find lots of support here for your body makeover. I am a calorie counter who is now in maintenance mode. It's all about healthy new habits for me and breaking the cycle of junk food and laziness. The peeps have helped tremendously and they'll help you too. Post often and tell us about yourself. When your birthday?
If I don't post for a while, please know I'm thinking about everyone and talk about you frequently.
NONI! We all get in a funk sometimes. Keeping to yourself never helps. You can pm me if you want and just spill the whole thing. Honestly, typing it up will be such a release. Please feel free!
I had a fever of 104 and he is very concerned about the lupus and how he feels I am treating my body rather unkindly!
I was concerned about the same thing but didn't want to sound like your mama. Take care of yourself, sweet girl! Your boys need ya! :hug: (And now you have more time to DIS! Bonus!)
I have a couple requests for Pixie Dust please.
Done, Shannon! Glad your test went well last night. I was thinking about you. And your poor aunt. I think sometimes it's almost as hard on the caregiver as it is on the patient. Keep studying...don't worry about gaining. Your body was bound to want a couple of those starvation pounds back. And don't worry about your tooth. It'll all be back to normal soon.
I'm leaving for the mouse tomorrow.!!!
HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!! :cool1:
well I dont reckon I got myself smoothed out as well as I thought
Harley....I love that you share these stories with us. :hug: I worked at a tanning salon in college. Just smooth out next time and the line will be gone. I promise.
I started my assignment tonight and realized it is not due until Friday!
YAY!!! :yay: I was a huge procrastinator in college. BUT, I always felt like I did my best work under pressure. Here's to pressure. :laughing:
Pray that he makes a safe return home soon please.
Poor kitty! Prayers for his safe return. Kitties always come back and don't you dare feel guilty about letting him out. I know my kitty is always lurking near the door just waiting for someone to leave so he can make a dash for it. Keep us updated, please.....and look down at the next post....cause it's a big day today. ;)
Who was the biggest loser???? I have to start over, I betcha!!!
Wendy!!! Glad your back, woman! We missed you. Can't wait to hear all about your trip. I emailed you the results but will pm too. Welcome home! :hug:

HAVE A GREAT DAY, PEEPS!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!!!

Ok, I had to do something different because my wishes don't look as cool as Melinda and Jo's. :confused3 :rotfl: :rotfl2:


WELCOME BACK MAMA!!!!!! Sorry, I got caught up in the Havoc and the Amuck on your TR! :cutie: I fell to Dis Peer Pressure! ;) :rotfl: :rotfl2: Glad you made it home safely! Do you still have three kids with you, or did you have to sacrifice one for the trip? :rotfl: :rotfl2: You know I am just kidding, right? Sorry, I'm feeling a little snarky today. ;) :rotfl:
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!

party: :dancer: :bday: :jumping1: :cake: :rockband:

Wendy! We are so glad you are back. It has actually been rather quiet since you left. On page 541, Sandy posted a recap of the weekend for Lynda. She hit all the highlights. So.......can we expect your first installment by tonight :rolleyes1 Anymore videos, did you find the secret bathroom, did you take over the Jungle Cruise, did you eat a whole dole whip and a funnel cake, how were the restaurants? So many things we need to know!

Some how I have thrown my SI joint out again - I think I did something wrong last night when I was doing the prescribed exercises. It has not hurt this bad since a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try and see the PT so she can put it back in place I hope. I feel very bad about work. I have not completed a whole week since all this started. Last week I missed that day because of the migraine. I haven't called in yet today because I am dreading it. I have always been so impatient with people who miss work more than like twice a year for illness. I am never sick. I don't miss work. Anyway, sorry - just frustrated.
 
Happy Birthday Jen!!!! PLease tell kitty hide and seek is NOT a birthday game!!!! Praying for kitty and you!

Stacey - porcratinating again, ok get to work Friday will be here sooner than you think and you KNOW that something time sucking will come your way before than!!!!!

Harley - I will be thinking of you when I go tanning and remeber to lift my layers!!! WIll give you a giggle for that one..a firend called with the craziest thing , she was very upset as she spotted a grey hari not in her legs, chin head or eyeborws, go ahead guess RIGHT!! I said WOW I wouldn't even know I am still hoping to see my toes soon! No its was not nostril hair!!!


AlDisney - thanks now I have to go look up the word snarky!!!

UM - OMG back so soon I am bummed your back already vacations just go tooo fast!!!
 
Happy Birthday Jen!!! And I will be praying for the safe return of your kitty!

Welcome Back Wendy!!! We missed you!

So, last night I got pretty much done with my iPod. I have a couple of Disney CDs left to go through, and a couple of other CDs, and I will do those tonight. I also have some CDs that Josh and I made that I need to go through. But I am not in a big hurry, so I will just go through those as I have time. I have about 850 songs loaded now! :scared1: I deleted some duplicates, and I am sure I will find a few songs I don't really need. I bought 4 songs from iTunes last night, and I need to make some playlists for exercising and reading. I am so relieved that I am wrapping it up. I can enjoy the music now! :)

I also talked to my boss, and I will be going into work early a few days a week so that I can get some things done while it is quiet, and it also allows me to leave a little early a couple of days, so I should have a little more time at home in the evenings. I am really excited about that.

And I didn't think that agility class with Jasper was going to count as my 30 minutes of exercise last night. I just didn't think I would be working hard enough to count it. But I am sooooooo counting it! We ran through the course 5 times, allbeit with breaks in between, but I was huffing and puffing each time we got done! And it took a few minutes to recover each time. It didn't seem like we were working that hard, but I guess it involved a lot of different movements - bending, reaching, jogging, and talking to Jasper in an excited voice the whole time. :rotfl: It was a lot of fun. Jasper is getting better at it. She only has trouble with a couple of the apparatus. And it TOTALLY WIPES HER OUT! She slept ALL evening once we got home, and she did the same thing last week! I LOVE IT! :rotfl:
 
OK time's counting down, just going to finish packing the suitcase eating nothing but salad today, gotta save them room for Disney food. We take off to Orlando 9:30pm arrive at All Star Movies at 1 am.

Wake up at 7am eat some Yummy Breakfast. WE are starting the day off at MGM, with the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Okayhouse Disney theatre, Meet and Greats and then off to Epcot. At Epcot we will ride Soarin, then off to the Nemo Ride, A quick walk around the country's. Then off to the monorail and onto the Magic Kingdom. At the Magic Kingdom we will do anything and everything ending the night with Spectro Magic Parade and Wishes. From there we go to the DInsey Market place for Dinner reservations at Wolf Gang Pucks 9:30 and some shopping. Then we leave Disney and onto Fort Lauderdale a 3 hour drive. So thats my ONE day Disney trip.:banana: :banana:

I will check in this week from Fort LAuderdale.

Everyone Keep on slimming!!
 
Have a great time Christine!!! That will be a busy day! I think you should squeeze in a trip over to AK to watch the new Nemo show and ride Everest! ;) Definitely sneak in a Dole Whip.

Who is going to fill in as zookeeper at your house?
