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

[dance2874]

Apollo would look better without the facial hair! Ian is so much cuter now than he was on 90210. I think it is the hair. I was always more of a Dylan girl!

As far as gifts go I know it sounds simple but I would like a card that just told me thank you or told about somthing they appreciated about the year their child had with me. That would mean so much! (Especially, if they also gave a copy to my principal ). I would put it in my "feel good" file for the days I wonder if I am making a difference at all. I also love things I can use for the classroom. I got two puzzles from a student for Christmas and I thought it was so great! I have also heard of teachers getting dry-erase markers and pretty post-its and they love it!

Ahhh, 90210, the good old days!
I always liked Steve, but he is cuter now. My favorite was Brandon though.

Thanks for the ideas! I will see what I can find. I make handmade cards, so that is a given for sure. (just one more way to use my scrapbooking supplies that seem to be collecting dust these days)

I watch! I was shocked that Joey was in the bottom two! Especially since he was in 2nd with the judges' votes. Apparently his fan base isn't all that big (or aren't voting). My fave is Apollo. Although his arms and upper body freak me out. He looks so thin and feeble from the waist up but from the waist down...well, let's just say he was working those pants last night during the 2nd dance, the Paso. I want Ian to go home next then either Joey or Laila. As long as Apollo is in the final, I'll be happy.

Dance/Jen - I had to when you said you didn't like Apollo because of an old BF...I didn't like his partner because she reminded me of Tammy's daughter on the real housewives of orange county, who I could not stand. But I got over it, and think she's sweet now (apollo's partner, not DD)

OMG, she does look like her! Great, now I wont be able to watch them at all Oh, and he was totally working those pants last night.

Probably should have more food...

Thanks, I knew you would know! I did better today. I just wasnt feeling it yesterday. Probably 'punishing' myself from the weekends mishaps.

Dancin with the Stars - didnt anyone else get angry with... "the judge" that was so mean to Billy Ray - everyone knew his time was this week, but "the judge" calling him "crap" was WAY OUTTA LINE... I mean, did the judges treat Jerry Springer that way? NO, or that boxer that wouldnt even put on dancin shoes? NO, but its ok to disrespect a kind hearted country boy??? That made me mad!

How about Hunkydoctordandyandy?? aka The bachelor?? I'm a sucker for a good romance...*cough* ok so I just like the reality tv!! I've been hooked on the spoiler threads!

oh, and a package was delivered today, addressed to dh... and dd snarfed it inot her room, and now dh came home, and they are "closeted" in there discussing it... hmmmm... WAIT.. WAIT hold the presses.. DH PLANNED something... this is a guy that spent 3 hours a few christmas eve's ago staring at cards until the stores closed... no presents that year... Bless his heart!! (and he hasnt done that again!!)

BEE Bee Beeeeeeee!! I miss you my friend... I hope to talk to you again...

Aww, I would be so excited now to see what they cooked up. I send notes, emails, hints to my DH and he usually makes an attempt. He royally messed up my first mothers day after DD was born. He didnt even think to get me a card. He actually said, "you are not MY mother, was I suppossed to get you something?" He truly had no clue. He made up for it a few days later, but he usually doesnt quite hit the mark. he gets an A+ for the effort though regardless.

That judge was horrible to Billy Ray. I felt so bad for him. You could tell he was really trying and he knew he wasnt going to make it another week anyways. He could have totally just stood there like he did a week or 2 ago, but he didnt. He really tried!

And I LOVE the Bachelor. I hesitate to say it, but he seems the most genuine they have had in a long time on these kinds of shows, if there is such a thing. I really think he found someone and they are still together. I can tell when he is being interviewed on other shows he is truly happy, not just saying so because he has to if that makse sense? I cant believe he was single! Seems like a really good guy. I hope he chooses Tessa. I like her. I used to like Bevin but I think she has wandered into crazy town these days.

My quick make-at-home salad:

Big bowl of Romaine lettuce
Couple ounces of Schwan's diced chicken (microwaved 1 minute, 45 seconds)
Sliced green pepper
Sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Sprinkle of Bacos bacon bits
Sprinkle of rice noodles (or can use chow mein noodles)
Paul Newman's reduced fat honey mustard salad dressing (70 calories/2 Tbsp)

Lynda, I'll have to look for those pumpkin spice bars. They sound great. Hang in there with the weight loss. I know how frustrating it is to go the wrong way, but I think there might be something to that muscle weight theory!

HKat, your yard looks wonderful. And like it was a lot of work!

Eeyore, keep us posted on your little surprise Glad to hear your DS is going to be home soon!

My DD will be home Saturday night for a week. Plus she is bringing the puppy. WOO HOO!!!!! That is Mothers Day gift enough for me

I love Paul Newman's Light Honey Mustard!! It is so good!

 

[belle8306]

Ahhh, 90210, the good old days!
I always liked Steve, but he is cuter now. My favorite was Brandon though.

.

I loved it a few weeks ago when there were four or five of Ian's 90210 buddies there. It was like a mini reunion. That used to be "must see" tv.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I love Paul Newman's Light Honey Mustard!! It is so good!

Me too, Belle. That's why I make this salad so often!

I tried his Asian dressing and thought that one was gross. It clumped up in the bottle and wouldn't pour.

I have never ordered anything from Schwan's but I have thought about it. Do you get anything else that you really like from them?

 

[dance2874]

Before I call it a night, posting my totals for the day:

Breakfast- banana chips, not the perfect choice to start the day, but all I felt like eating
Lunch-Salad and 2 potato pancakes-forzen, made by Dr. Praeger (?sp) They make really good veggie burgers too. Some ff sour cream on them too.
Dinner-Chicken stroganoof, broccoli
Snacks- handful of almonds, ff pudding
Total:a respectable 1676, under my max but more than yesterday which is good.

Had 2 dance classes today again. These kids are giving me a workout getting them ready for their recital. We get to try their costumes on in class next week. My favorite part They are all so cute!!!

Have a good night Peeps!

I recently tried Schwan's new chicken breasts with roasted garlic and mushroom sauce and the LiveSmart chicken with Asian-style sauce and those are both yummy. I had them both with the Uncle Ben's brown rice in a pouch which microwaves in 90 seconds.

Some of the standard things I order are the chipotle chicken mini tacos, cut corn, sugar snap peas, asparagus spears, LiveSmart whole wheat pepperoni pizzas, cheese and herb biscuits, and Italian style meatballs (which I eat in moderation). For treats, I have had their chocolate malt push-em-ups and root beer float bars. I think both of those are under 100 calories.

A couple things that were just OK were the LiveSmart teriyaki wings and the sliced ham. My hubby really likes their chicken nuggets.

I bought, but haven't tried, the LiveSmart ham and cheese pockets. Hopefully those will be good. I'm hoping my daughter will like the teriyaki wings and help me eat those.

BACHELOR!! Hey, so at least one peep is interested... here's all the news that I've ferreted out (have I mentioned I read spoilers? - this has no spoilers in it, just E news is reporting it, because PG 6 of the NY Post reported it BUT it probably isnt true!! so here's the post I made on the other message board I'm on ... for tv stuff - all tv shows are here...

Lots of speculation about the Page 6 article, along with the reminder in Trista's season Page 6 leaked she picked... Charlie, when she did pick Ryan.. also discussion on how if you read the FORT or what chris, andy, or Fleiss comment on the ending - Pg 6 is way off...

someone posted this link, which I couldnt get to work...

http://www.eonline.com/thevine/player.jsp?channelID=whatsnew&mediaID=19877

Andy was in a triatholon...
http://www.ironmitch2.blogspot.com/
(supposedly Tessa was also entered in this competiton...)

and as always someone posted their take on the Page 6 article... "quote"
Haven't posted anything here before. But given this latest news, have to chime in. I work with Andy in Hawaii and asked him this morning at PT what was up with the NY Post article. He said it is "total BS" (end quote)


Here's the article mentioned ie military.com (no spoilers just article about military life)
http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,134137,00.html
gotta luv the last quote>>
"What’s the next step for you and your new fiancé?

AB: She’s going to move out here to Hawaii and we’re going to focus on falling in love again in the real world, outside of the reality TV world. We’ve already seen each other once, and we just can’t wait for the show to end."

He's scheduled to be on The View on the 21 (final rose ceremony that night) by his lonesome, than on the 22 again.. but with the F1 (this is reported from the person that knows andy btw - so the fort got excited that someone that knows Andy feels they are still "together")

Love reading all the stuff, and seriously if you have a tv show, reality or otherwise you love, there is someone that shares the obsession - for reality shows someone is TRANSCRIBING IT LIVE!! which is helpful if I miss a week or an episode!!
http://www.tvclubhouse.com/index.php and I reference FORT = fans of reality television website.

Well, we had a wedding shower at work today for one of my coworkers, and food was brought in, and it was good! I tried to guesstimate calories as best I could. So, here’s the totals…

B: 1 Dove dark chocolate (42) oatmeal & yogurt smoothie (220)
S: 24 almonds (160)
L: BBQ brisket w/ bottom half of bun only (400?), about 8 small tortilla chips w/ less than a Tbsp of fiesta dip (65), broccoli & cauliflower w/ ff ranch dip (50), broccoli salad (about 3 florets’ worth – 50), about 2-3 bites each of strawberry/mango mixture (35), tropical fruit “goo” (40), bean/veggie salad (30), & taffy apple salad (50), 2 small pinwheels (100), & 1 cupcake w/ at least half the icing scraped off (200)
S: apple w/ reduced fat peanut butter (250)
D: grilled tilapia w/ small side salad (225)
S: no sugar added fudgsicle (40)

TOTAL: 1957 calories & 130 oz. of water

Yeah, I went a little over my 1800 calorie limit, but I walked Jasper for 35 minutes and rode the recumbent bike for 35 minutes, so I am forgiving myself!

Thanks to everyone who commented to my post earlier. It has been a busy day, and I haven't had time to quote. But I REALLY appreciate it! And after throwing myself into the workouts, I feel a bit better. AF is here, and I feel bloated, so I am hoping it is water weight.

Night all! Skinny Dreams!

This is a flyby post. I'll catch up on the weekend. It's a heck of a week, and we're only halfway through. Yesterday I had to barricade my classroom and hide with 20 kids in a tiny side room because there were armed burglars in the area. Here's the link to the news story: http://www.nbc11.com/news/13281615/detail.html
Then today, a squirrel attacked and injured 3 people at DH's school. Here's that news link:http://www.nbc11.com/news/13285990/detail.html

Will Friday ever get here?

I was really good about food and exercise yesterday, but today I kind of fell apart. I figured out my calories, and it was about 2100. Darn junk food (cookies, licorice, Twix, etc.). well, I'm done eating for today, and tomorrow is a new day. I'll come back to catch up soon.

 

[Bee]

I am here!! ok.. You are my friends also.

Man - with a week like that anybody would be ready for it to be over!! It has to get better, right?!

(and he hasnt done that again!!)

Yes I totally thought his comment was mean and uncalled for! Truthfully, I think he was getting all worked up arguing with the judges and trying to get his point across more than purposefully insulting Billy Ray. But still, they need to be much more careful with what they say. Criticize the dancing, not the people!

Keep us posted on the secret package!

Me too, Belle. That's why I make this salad so often!

I tried his Asian dressing and thought that one was gross. It clumped up in the bottle and wouldn't pour.

If you're looking for a yummy asian dressing, try Ken's Light Asian Sesame-Ginger. It's restaurant quality good! Has a little kick to it too and a little goes a long way.

Nighty night Peeps!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, PEEPDOM!

Still kindly quiet with 4 of our peeps on vaca and Harley's computer down. Harley! You out there?

JEANNE.... on the job!

NONI..... on the job training. DH will be happier when you are happier. He just doesn't know it yet!

BEE....Get on out here!

DENE....I know what you mean about some mama time...I'm headed out with the girlfriends tonight!

It is shocking to me how difficult it is to get all of my calories in each day!

It is shocking! You get to eat so much more food if it's healthy so if you can find healthy foods you like...you can eat a LOT!

Any ideas for easy (read NO prep) dinners would be much appreciated.

Lots of great ideas! Wow! Like Sandy...I prepare/cook extra chicken breasts and use them once as a main meal and then leftovers in salads, stir fry, pasta, or whatever.

He didnt even think to get me a card. He actually said, "you are not MY mother, was I suppossed to get you something?"

MEN! I was pregnant on my first mother's day. I thought that counted....DH did not.

Danielle! Be careful out there! San Jose was a scary place yesterday! Are your school doors locked normally? We have to be buzzed into school as the doors are always locked.

EVERYONE ELSE.....

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

 

[Eventer98]

Good morning Peeps! I hope everyone has a good "last day before weigh-in day!" I checked my progress this AM and I was down 1/2 a pd. I would love to lose 1 more over night but .5 would be ok too. We'll see. Going to zoo today with evil SIL...I am trying to extend the olive branch!! DH gave me credit. It looks like T-storms so who knows if we will get there. Might end up at the childrens museum=less walking.

Hang in there Peeps!!

 

[celerystalker]

Hey all! Just dropping a note to say no weigh in this week cuz I'm on my way to WDW!!!!

 

[eeyore45]

I am here!! ok.. You are my friends also.

Wish I could say more to you! Know you are in my thoughts and prayers...

Scoop from another message board...

The Tusker House Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom is being converted from a quick-service restaurant to a buffet restaurant. This location will soon offer a character breakfast buffet and a non-character lunch/dinner buffet, starting on November 18th.

Donald's Safari Breakfast Buffet will be offered from 8:00 am to 10:30 am featuring Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy (characters subject to change without notice.) The lunch / dinner buffet (no characters) will be offered from 11:30 am - park close. Reservations for all meal periods will be accepted by calling 407-WDW-DINE up to 180 days in advance.

In order for Tusker House Restaurant to be converted to a buffet restaurant, it will be closed for refurbishment from August 20 until November 17.

After the refurbishment, Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery will continue to serve pastries and coffee from the outdoor window.

With the character breakfast opening at Tusker House Restaurant, Donald's Breakfastosaurus character breakfast at Restaurantosaurus will be discontinued after November 5.

Restaurantosaurus will continue to be open for lunch / dinner as a quick-service restaurant. Hours of operation will be 10:30 a.m. until park close.

why do they have to mess with tuskar house, if they wanted an all day buffet, keep it at Breakfasouras for goodness sakes11 but that's just my simple mind...

I agree, Sandy! Why do they have to take what is IMHO the best CS in Disney World and change it! Change the ABC Commissary if ya wanna change something!

Well, super! Now I may have to tweak ADRs for September again! I want to eat at Breakfastasaurus before it closes! We have only done it once, and we enjoyed it. I don't think it will be the same without the theming over at Restaurantasaurus. Why ARE they messing with this?

OK, I'm at work. Where are my September ADRs?
