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

[jodistar]

Jodi - I forgot you did the Goofy - I'm in Day 2 of your TR!!

Thank you for the info on the expo - jut what I needed to know!!!

Yike_!! You have a new brace on!! I do now! Did you have a fanny pack to carry a phone and a camera??? I'm excited!

Are you planning on '08??

I'm not planning on 08 but hoping to do it again in 09 -- actually my friend, Heather, and I have already talked about walking the Goofy in 09. Again, this all depends on whether or not I become pregnant again (crossing my fingers that it will happen for me again).

Anyhow, had a blast in January -- running/walking goofy

I did wear a fuel pack on the day of the half and ended up getting annoyed by it and didn't wear it the second day. I carried my camera the second day. They have many stops a long the way, so you really don't need one -- I least that's how I felt.

If it's warm in January again (for your race), you may want to lock up your rings in the safe at the hotel. My hands by the end of the second day got sooooo swollen on the second day that I was uncomfortable with my rings on.

You will love the half whether you do your pr or not....I didn't achieve my personal best then but I was having issues with the knee - - that's another reason that I will be walking the next.

So how's your training coming along. I still have to go back to the walking/running thread. I miss them all but really having stepped back into everything yet.

Annoyed my ss doesnot work, I'll put a bunch up here and hope I can grab one if I must!!

I've never run a race ever - tomorrow i my first! Only a 5k (jut a walk in the park for me!! ) But the half and that time limit with the sweepers - can I manage it all? I know I can do 20 min miless But 16 is puhsing it today!! and to do it for 3 HOURSS???

I have my adrs and I'm glad to read your trippie, I thought I may be doing too much, can I even walk the next day? Will I want to ssleep all day??? DH i doing the full, me the half!!

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

You still have plenty of training time, the big thing is to not stress about it! You will finish in time, the speed comes with time.

You'll get your Donald

Oh the first race is the best -- You always learn from that. I remember my first one was not close to home (probably about 45 minutes away), so as far as land I didn't know what to expect -- can I tell you, I had nothing but hills OMG! but I learned how important it was to breathe correctly during the run. So pay attention to your breathe also make sure you take advantage of of the water stops -- I think you should have one water break at 1.5.

Good luck and smile during the race tomorrow -- You can do it! I can't wait to hear how you make out.

Everyone is different after the half marathon -- I walked/ran the marathon the next day and then the day after I was still walking around the parks (I'm stubborn though -- I fully admit it). Definetely Ice after the race or go back to the resort pool and cool off! It helps quite a bit.

Crush update. A. walked me to my car yesterday afternoon and we had a little talk. He is super stressed out and basically said that he absolutely wants to see me again but he just hasn't had time to think about it with all the school stuff he has going on. I guess I can't complain...I only have 2 individual clients to his 6! Plus one of his supervisors is killer. Anyway, we both should be finished with everything by mid to late next week and then hopefully we will get together for date #2. I also made it clear that I'm leaving it up to him to do the asking since he is the one that is super busy while I'm just sort of busy. He was super cute and flirty too so I feel much better about everything. I feel in control. Sort of.

i'm glad he updated you on what's going on in his head. it's the not knowing that drives you crazy! let us know when you guys go out again!

Tomorrow is DS's 7th birthday so being the lazy mom I am, I talked him out of a birthday party and into a night at a hotel and an amusement park! So we are going to spend the night in Cincinnati tomorrow night and go to King's Island on Monday.

sounds like my kinda birthday!!! have fun!

Okay here is goes... I have actaully bought a scale, and will be weighing in shortly. I am also demanding that my husband bring the tred mill up from the rec room in the basement and put it in the family room. I am going to work out at least 15 minutes in the morning, and then again after supper for 30. I will do this for two weeks, and then increase the times. This is it... it's now or never!

 

[eeyore45]

[denecarter]

Hello!!!!!!!!! hello... hello... hello Anybody out there? out there?... out there?... out there?

I feel like I'm living in an episode of the Twilight Zone today... does the world really exist? I don't know because I've had so little communication today. Went to a concert in Dallas last night (Rascal Flats, very good) and got to bed at 3 something, so I didn't go to yoga this morning... I've been in my pj's all day. No Peeps posted from 10:10 am to 5:47 pm! Then only two more posts in 1 1/2 hours. Now, another dry spot from 7:13 pm until now! I haven't had a single phone call or text message today... and basically no e-mail... and nobody's looking at my profile at match.com... the only other communication I've had is a guy 165 miles away on eHarmony... and that was early this morning!

Good luck on your race! I'm very proud of you!

Hi, Dene! seems like everybody is just busy with all sorts of things! Every time I touched the computer today a kid wanted to play with their Webkinz! So that's what we did!

Hope your quiet day was kind of nice. I like a day every now and then where I can stay in my pjs!!

It does seem extraordinarily quiet tho!

Happy Sunday! (I'll be driving most of the day - yecch! but it was worth it to get to see my nieces and nephew)

[jodistar]

Well, I did it - - I simsionsized myself!

Here is a much skinner picture of myself from this past January:

Here I am simpsonsized (I just recently dyed my hair and permed it my hair)

Yup -- I'm pretty bored this morning!

 

[monymony3471]

Morning Peeps!

Well, I think I made it. The doctor should be back in the country. He has rounds tomorrow at the hospital.

I've seen all the hospitals around here that were St. Josephs turn into Henry Fords, so I will email him tomorrow to see if we can have a closer hosital to deliver at. An hour drive to the hospital daily stinks for DH. If they can change our hospital it will only be a 15 minutes drive.

We celebrated my son's b-day early yesterday. I didn't want to have something change in our plans around his actual birthday Aug 10th, you know, like have a baby, and mess up his special time. Took a bunch of kids to Pump it Up. Do any of you have those where you live? A kids dream let me tell you. I know they are costly, but it's the last birthday party and that's where my boys have their last horrah!

Oh, and it's soo exciting to hear parents comment on Zach's weight loss. Those 9 pounds really made a huge difference. His clothes fit so much better and he looks slimmer and taller. I'm very proud of him.
Ok, I'm ready to have this baby. I've been experiencing pre-labor symptoms. I've never gone into labor with my other three. This is a very different pregnancy for me. I'd be shocked if I actually went into labor. It's scary if I do, because of all the past c-sections. The contractions could rupture my uterous.

I have an apt. this Thursday.


Wish me luck.

Good luck eyeore today! Can't wait to see how it goes.

[Marjol]

Hi everyone,

I hope I can join this club. I didn't really feel like reading all 1169 previous pages, but I guess everyone's welcome here?

Let me tell you all a little bit about myself:

My name is Marjol, I'm 27 yrs young and I live in the Netherlands. I'm an elementary school teacher. I'll be teaching 3rd grade this year, but I'm enjoying my summer vacation while it lasts
I have always loved Disney. I've been to Disneyland Paris (which is a 5 hour drive from where I live) 9 times and loved it every time. But my big dream always was to go to Disneyworld. And that dream came true! Last year, my boyfriend finally agreed to go and so we went, this may. And it was fabulous! It was so fabulous, that we're going back in april of next year!
And this time, it will be our honeymoon! We're getting married on april 22 and now I'm finally getting to why I'm here

I've been dealing with weight problems since puberty. I gained some weight each year, untill I weighed 220 lbs in september of 2003. Yikes...
I started Weight Watchers and with succes, in may of 2004 I was down to 168 lbs and felt great!
But I guess some of you know how it goes... I was satisfied, so became "easy" and started gaining weight again. I tried losing some again and again, but I was never really motivated!
But now, with the wedding in sight, I really want to lose some weight!
I'm back to 204 lbs and I hope to get down to at most 170 before my wedding!

So, I started my own diet last monday and so far it's gone really well. I'm weighing again tomorrow, so I'll see what my results are. I really believe I'm going to be succesfull this time!

 

[eeyore45]

WOOHOO !!!

Mony Jusst a heads up... (non mommy'ssss turn your headssss!SS! )))) (If you are in labor and feel lots of back labor, then get the urge to ummm an imodiumD moment - THAT"S THE BABY!!! It was a big *doh moment - I rolled over thinking I didnt want to 'hit' dh, and instead I rolled over and out popped my 10#+ baby girl!! Then I realized it wasss not back labor!! baby was movin down the canal!!)

Melinda HAPPY BIRTHING DAY!!
