DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[HockeyKat]

dene, you rock... 100 lbs!!! I can't wait to see pics!

punkin, hope you feel better soon. I hate sore throats.

I'm doing too many things!!

How's the fat count going? That comes soon for me!

Last night I had a sandwich - I was starving, we got home from the pool at 8 - I do love the Baked lays, and right now I'm able to eat just one bag - the cheddar onion are so fufilling of my craving! I do like the caramel rice cakes, but I dont have the chip craving satisfied - we'll see, I'm sticking to writing it down...

I also nibbled on 4 pretzel sticks - the Honey Wheat ones, good sugar rush!!

First time my scale moved south!! (only 2# and midweek - you do understand?!!)

gotta run!

PS
Uma(et el) are you still using Hoodia? I havent, started again this morning!

Yay on the scale!! I have become really fond of sparkpeople... it keeps track of calories, fat, anything you want it to, and I am finding it really easy to use.

I am using hoodia too, well, the Mega-T Green Tea stuff w/ hoodia. It is cheaper and it really does seem to help w/ appetite and energy.

Good morning everybody!
Ok...my 7 day disney vacation/4 day Nantucket trip back to back cost me my bling .... i knew I would gain and i actually put back on 3.8 of the 5+ i lost...but i am not too sad about it, since it was expected..and i am HOPEFUL that it will come off quickly, since i am not eating on vacation mode autopilot anymore...

anyhoo..just wanted to pop in and wish all of you a great day..i have to say it feels good to be back on the "wagon" again!

Welcome back!! My WDW trip put 3 lbs on too... glad you have hopped back up here with us!

Today is a pack-the-grazing-bucket day. Here is my food:
B: coffee, 1/2 cup dry apple jacks (60)
L: LC Panini (300), salad (100), pudding (60)
D: Smart Ones Steak Tips Portabello (180) and Easy Mac (220)
Total, 920. Exercise, 1 hour of ice hockey. I will likely have a 100-200 calorie snack when I get home from hockey to get me closer to 1200.

Hope everyone has a skinny day!

Good morning Peeps!

DH tells me that yesterday, he heard the AKL model at Woodfield Mall would have its grand opening on August 4th. We can't get there until that night. (He gets off work at 5.) But he told me to check with my friends to see if anyone wanted to meet up on the 5th. So, any Illinois or Indiana or other Peeps wanna get together at Woodfield on Aug. 5th? (I know I could post this on the meet thread, but this is coming up fast, and I know everyone doesn't check there as regularly. I may post there as well later.) Gotta go for now!

AUG 5 - I'm there!! I'm sure I can talk DH into joining me IF he's not doing a training day!

sparkspeople I'll have to check that out - or the calorieking site - I dont know how to count calories in my homemade hamburger.. so much trouble to find 1 T of Ketchup.. whine whine.. that's me!

Woooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooty DENE!!! You Rock!!!

Good Afternoon Peeps!

I have great news. I got all of the ADRs for the times that I wanted. We are going at such a busy time of year that I was a little concerned but I worried for nothing. I had a really great cast member on the phone. She took her time & explained everything really well.

I probably won't be on much in the next couple of days. I need to get my house in order before we leave for TN. I need to clean my car, both inside & out. I need to mow my yard. I need to wash laundry. I need to begin packing. I have several places to go tomorrow including my nephew's birthday party and then Friday I have to decorate a huge 3 tier birthday cake for a friends 50th birthday party that evening. And then Saturday we get to leave. No laundry, no washing dishes, no cooking, no nothing for 8 days. Just R&R. I CAN'T wait.

UM- you have a package coming your way from me.... sorry it took so long but when you open it youll see why.... I had to wait for something special to come in for you!

 

[HockeyKat]

sparkspeople I'll have to check that out - or the calorieking site - I dont know how to count calories in my homemade hamburger.. so much trouble to find 1 T of Ketchup.. whine whine.. that's me!

It's sparkpeople.com. There is a DIS community there too. It is a bit complicated to figure out at first, but I find it easier than calorie king as there are LOT of foods already added on there, plus you can add yours, add food groupings, etc. You can also choose a calorie limit and have them generate a meal plan for you.

This is to ALL PEEPs... I am in the process of making a homeade CD of Disney MP3s that DH has compiled from various sources for a friend from another board. Most of it is area and ride music from DL and WDW, and all gotten from legitimate sources. Does anyone else here want one? If so, PM me and I will send it out this week.

LADIES, LADIES, LADIES, and Aaron.....

Where's everybody today. I got sunburned at the pool this afternoon but what a great day! The pool water was 85 degrees....just the way I like it!

On the way back I plan to stop in Jackson..thanks Melinda!

I wish I could remember the name of the hotel. Not the newest or nicest place we stayed on that trip but the location next to the Casey Jones thing was awesome! Enjoy the grandma food! Hope your back feels better soon. And on DD's hissy fit....doesn't need a mom. Write that down somewhere!

Peeps wanna get together at Woodfield on Aug. 5th?

Oh! That sounds like fun! Where is Woodfield Mall? in Chicago? Where-ish?

i've got a deposition this afternoon too, which sucks because i talk for a living!

Hope you're feeling better soon! We'll be looking for Erin!

Ok...my 7 day disney vacation/4 day Nantucket trip back to back

That's sounds heavenly. Whatever it cost....it's worth it! I've always wanted to go to Nantucket!

Today is a pack-the-grazing-bucket day. Here is my food:
B: coffee, 1/2 cup dry apple jacks (60)
L: LC Panini (300), salad (100), pudding (60)
D: Smart Ones Steak Tips Portabello (180) and Easy Mac (220)
Total, 920. Exercise, 1 hour of ice hockey. I will likely have a 100-200 calorie snack when I get home from hockey to get me closer to 1200.

The LC Panini sounds good! I don't think I've seen that one. My fave is LC Thai Chicken and also LC Salmon/orzo/spinach. I like Healthy Choice and Smart Ones but I always have to salt them. Is it just me?

I have great news. I got all of the ADRs for the times that I wanted.

YAY! Sorry I worried you for nothing. Don't forget CP dinner reservations on July 2nd!!! Do I sound like your mother?

It is SLOW today, isn't it? There's not much response on my TR thread either. Must be nice out everywhere!

Woodfield is in Shaumburg, which is sort of a northwest-ish suburb. Interested???

Definitely interested but can almost certainly not attend. It's my busiest time at work with school about to start and all.

NEWS FLASH: I sent a resume out for a full time job this week. Not sure I'll be considered BUT one of the benefits is FREE college tuition for Mimi. Wish me luck!

 

[celerystalker]

dene - great to see you! glad your life is going well.
I had surgery, and I'm not doing as good as you are! (probably because I'm not working out) Keep up the good work!

wonders - flirt! confess to us! it's fine!

 

[celerystalker]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!

QUESTION: Has anyone heard of that acai berry juice that everyone is drinking now? Supposed to be a powerful antioxident and one brand is called Mona Vie. (Very expensive pyramid-type product) Anyway, I bought the retail brand last night at the grocery. It's called Bossa Nova and people, it tastes terrible. Looks like grape juice...tastes like concentrated blueberry juice. Aaack! Just wondered if any peeps have gotten any benefits from it.

I haven't tried that one, but I tried Pom, which is pomegranate juice -
I LOVE fresh pomegranates, but that stuff is nasty!

Crush update

A couple weeks ago I told a girl at school that I'm close to. I just could not take it anymore. She was a little surprised but eager to see if she could play matchmaker - discreetly of course. She is also semi-decent friends with this guy. At least at school. She is around him a lot. Anyway, he definitely does not have a gf. Somehow she started discussing dating with him and he made some very good points. 1) He doesn't have time for a gf. I agree we are both super busy but if you want something, you make time for it. She pointed out that if he has time to sit and watch a movie at night, then he has time for a girl. 2) The clinic would be a buzz if he was dating a girl there. And he is absolutely right! He (and the girl) would be the talk of the clinic for weeks. Which I wouldn't really like (and obviously he wouldn't.) So I guess that is his feelings on the subject. Definitely could be worse.

She thinks he would be an amazingly sweet bf (which I agree) and that is just what I need right now. She also said our children would be beautiful (I think she used the word exotic ) but I'm not getting that far ahead of myself. She thinks I should ask him out (but not as a date) to study or something since we have a final in 2 weeks. I'm way too chicken for that and fear rejection - I'd much rather have a small group - like 3 or 4 of us to hang out first and have it be more relaxed and less pressure. She also mentioned to him that we should do something on the 4th and he said it would be nice. I'd love to have something here but mom would really cramp my style. (No offense moms). Anyway, I'm trying to talk to him more but I just feel like I'm being annoying.

Oh well, I will probably see him tomorrow as well since he works there every single day and I'm there every single day. We'll see how it goes.

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday! The weekend is getting closer!

hey hey hey, just add vodka... Seriously, I"ve been buying my Pom juice at a world market, so I'm not sure if its Russian, or POlish, but its not as strong as the stuff at the Jewel by produce - that's exhorbantly expensive - just check ingrediants, dont get the sugar/corn syrup added stuff!! (I've been drinking 2 - 3 oz 'cept in the last few days... W/O the vodka tho )

Lexi if you come to chicago, I hope you tell me, I'd love to meet up with you - do a Priceline hotel - and hit the museums... Summer is surely slipping through my fingers!

Shannon Live dangerously!! Experience life!! Have fun!!

I have no idea what else I was commenting on - guess Belle and Lexi will have to make up for me!

Teachers out there - I am so enjoying the class I'm taking on the Bernstein Artful Method - so cool...

I love the Paninis... the steak cheddar mushroom one is my fav. I eat them open-faced, makes it last longer. I also love the brick over LC pizzas, esp. the BBQ Chicken one.

I like HC and Smart Ones but I have to salt and pepper them too. I really like that all three have come out with meat 'n veggie meals that are 200 cals or less... makes a great lunch < 400 cals when paired with a salad and a yogurt.

Definitely interested but can almost certainly not attend. It's my busiest time at work with school about to start and all.

Good luck!!

I have my annual review tomorrow at 5PM, and my boss said he won't put anything on my permanent record that wasn't a surprise, but that we need to discuss some things "off the record". Tomorrow will be a long, slow march until it is over with.

 

[dismom9761]

Melinda,thanks for missing me And yep MOSt of baseball will be over when we get back from Florida(which is a weeklong tournament).They will play one tournament a month until football starts but that isn't bad.

Punkin,thanks for the .I am trying....a little.



Peyton(my DS9) could use prayers and pixie dust this evening.He hurt his thumb in a practice game tonight and it scared us.We don't think it is broken but it is hurting him pretty bad.We think it is ligament damage or sprained.This is the child that is supposed to play in the world series next week.

Oh yeah,I forgot to say that the Paninis are delicious!My favorite is the Southwestern(*I think that is the name of it).

OKay - so life in Harleyland is like this...busy,busy and busy tossed with a whole lots of stress and heartache.

1.) In May my sweet wuppy Pepper who is my mostest fav doggie int eh world went to the dr with a limp, they said "arthritis" so 1 1/2 mos later its much worse and shes nt using it alot and its alot more swollen...we walked into the vet and he says oh i dont like the looks of that before he even examined her...he just remembered her from 6 wks earlier and knew it wasnt right. so last fri we did a bone biopsy and waiting to get lab results back now from UGA to see if its cancer. should know maybe tomorrow.

2.) Most wonderful bossman whom i have worked for for 11 yrs now has a very progressive lymphoma. they thought it was leukemia...they were wrong and now he's in very aggressive chemo in the hospital for his second round and this time will be much worse. he's starting to lose his hair, which is weird cuz i saw him in a baseball cap for the first time in those 11 yrs...and he's shaved all his facial hair off...and he has 2 boys 13, 11 and a sweetheart wife helping him get thru this. his only real option left if the chemo doesnt work is stem cell transplant(?)

3.) Coworker had unexpected open heart triple bypass, 3 wks ago... she's very depressed and not making the progress that she needs to make becuase she lacks the driv eto make herself get well, its just easier to be sick and thats hard to watch someone you love just give up on life.

4.) with all those office changes we are slammed and I had a breakdown today. i mean i lost it. i got frustrated at looking at a worksheet trying to balance something...hours i tried, then i cracked over it started laughing which lead to crying which i hid with laughing and my coworker walks over to offer fresh eyes and finds my out of balance in like 30 seconds flat, which led to more laughing/crying.

5.) i am worn out just flat out pooped.

but i have set new goals for myself. I want to do a chinup/pullup unassisted and i want to be able to benchpress my body weight. i havent lost many pounds prolly cuz i refuse to quit eating bad. i just cant give it up. and this is prolly not a good peep thing but i ate a whole bag of brownies by myself last night. the whole thing. my byself. i guess emotional eating again. i dunno. but right now i could cause serious bodily harm for a devils food cake donut from dunin donuts, or a fresh hot krispy kreme...sigh...not tonight tho. i'll be strong tomorrow is another day.

night ya'll thanks for listening...

 

[harleygirl]

Thanks Harley...I was just thinking I should have brought him home.Nah I don't baby him.....

if you come get him, just be quiet
