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

[monymony3471]

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

Have a blast!

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!!

Drink lots of water while you walk and you can lose more!




Hey all! It's over! I really enjoyed going back to school and I wanted to take one of those condensed spring/summer classes, but they are all 4 hours each and I don't think I can sit that long at the end of my pregnancy like that, so I am forced to take an extended break. So you are stuck with me now!


I did get an A on my last research paper, the big one, and did really good throughout my english class.

Last night was the big one. I took my American Politics Exam and with the curve I got an A+. I almost peed my pants when he showed me my paper as I was walking out. That probably will give me my solid A for that class.

College is so different this time around. I'm busier now than back then and I can still get good grades. This just excites me and makes me want to just go and finish already.

Have a great day everyone. Hope you burn burn burn!

I'm just getting bigger and bigger over here!

Same here celerystalker! We are leaving tomorrow AM!! We get back Wed, then Fri I go join DH in Charlotte for the weekend. I will officially weigh-in/restart on May 25.

My fav light dressings are Ken's Light Northern Italian, and Kraft Light-Done-Right Three Cheese Ranch (this one is awesome!!). The Kraft "FREE" Caesar Italian is also good and only 25 cals per serving.

Morning Peeps!

I'm just barely hanging on.

End of school, 2 dance recitals, Prom this weekend and a graduating Senior, working full time and trying to take a rake to my house now and again.

If only this counted as excercise- but I'm too tired to even think about excercise. My diet has been the pits this week. I do really, really BAD when I'm tired- lible to just eat anything. Same old problem- and I fell victim to same old habits.

Gonna skip weigh in this week- I may not weigh for a while- the scales just seem to depress me and I say in my head - I might as well eat- I was hungry and didnt lose anything. I know- WRONG! But maybe if I dont focus on the numbers so much I wont get discouraged.

Gotta get some rest- another round of "stuff" this afternoon.

Night all!

 

[Shula8205]

Work is sooo stressful right now!! Myself and my colleagues can use all the Peep prayers we can get . . . I work at a state college and a few weeks ago, someone found graffiti in one of our restrooms indicating that there would be a repeat of the Virginia Tech incident at our graduation, which is this Saturday. I work in the registrars office and we are in charge of graduation, so I will be one of the university marshalls leading the graduates into the ceremony and then as stage lead I have to make sure that everyone walks across the stage on time to receive their diploma and that the whole ceremony runs smoothly . . . I'm so scared !! I know it probably sounds silly, but I'm really frightened that something will actually happen!! The President of the university took all the necessary precautions and the Governor has ordered more police and security for us as well as metal detectors at all of the entrances to the building, but it's still really frightening!!

On a more positive note, I did my 45 minute Tae Bo Cardio Fat Blaster last night !!! Here's yesterday's totals:
B: Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters, 1/2 c. skim milk and my coffee.
S: Banana
L: WW Pita w/ turkey, italian style ham, 1 slice swiss lace, and 1 tbs. Wasabi Horseradish Gourmayo (flavored light mayo, love that stuff!!) and 9 Lays light tortilla chips w/ TJ's fresh salsa.
D: Chicken Stir Fry
S: 3 Pepperidge Farm Turkey Smokie Bites
S: WW 2 pt. Chocolate Sundae cup w/ 1/2 c. ff cool whip.

Going to the mall tonight with my bff to get some shorts for AZ . . . Wish me luck !!

[DisneyObsession]

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?

I use to order Schwan's veggies all the time! They have the best corn, asparagus, broccoli and California Mix! Actually, all their veggies taste like they are just picked and are very flavorful!!!

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

Glad you are still popping in! We miss you when you're not here and love you from afar!!!

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

Hope you have a great time!!! Are you just missing Punkin are will you be able to meet up with her?

 

[dance2874]

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...



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.
http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/reality-shows-were-covering/

Thanks for those links! I have to say I still think he chooses Tessa. She is the only one he has said out loud that he is falling in love with and she said ti back. (last week....at her house) And of course he said the article is BS, he has to! He is under contract!

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?

Holy cow! How scary, no wonder youu are ready for Friday!

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

WHOOHOO! Have a great time!!!

I give you credit for trying to be the bigger person. Hope you guys have a decent enough time to ease up the tension a bit! Hey, are you going for ice cream cake afterwards?

Congrats!!! I bet it feels good to be done with all that stress now! And you are not getting bigger and bigger....you are getting prettier and prettier with that baby peeplet in your tummy!

Night all!

I am exhausted just reading all that.
Taking a break from the scale can be a good thing. I get too obsessed with it and every little half a pound up or down can really make or break my mood. That is when I know it is time to put it away for a bit. The key is not to give up all together, just stop the numbers game and focus on eating healthy and making good choices one day at a time.

Wow. I would probably be scared too. I am sure it will be fine but I am a bit paranoid that way too. What college do you work at?

Good luck with the shorts, I bet you will look fabulous!

Here is a picture of DD17 & me at a baby shower on Sunday...

Funny (?) story from the shower...

It was a shower for a girl at my part time job. I don't know her that well but the shower was at my SIL's house so she told me I had to attend.

Well....we played a baby name game where you take the parents' names and think of a baby boy name starting with each letter. Well....the mom to be read her list and one of the names was Damien. I say out loud and clear "Well I like all those names but I'd stear clear of Damien if I were you."

((record scratch))

"That's what we're naming the baby," says mom to be.

"oh" says I...."sorry".

I was horrified that I had offended the poor girl and one of the other attendees tells me the next day that I just said what everyone else was thinking. Still embarrassing...........but maybe she will rethink the name.

 

[mousehouselover]

I did not get encouraging news on the school front today. It' going to take some creativity to get the funds for my class. I actually sat here in tears this morning because I feel I'm trying to make myself better but I can't get any help doing it. DH made some inquiries and may have a solution for me, I'll have to see how it pans out.

I didn't do too bad food-wise today. I didn't let the stress get to me and sidetrack healthy eating.

Heading out to Wal-mart.......BBL.

Great picture!

Funny story too! I feel your pain though. It sounds like something I would have done, and I'd be horrified! I still think your comment was funny though.

 

[eeyore45]

I'm stressed and I ate. and ate. and ate some more. (hey I just realized I left the hostess cupcakes alone!! Wonder how long that will last!)

I did run 45 minutes... which stressed me so I ate.

then I went shopping and spent $177 (I bought 6 small tubs for books - and I organized them! By author!!) I bought 2 large tubs one for the stuff I was storin in ds room - You see my mom gave me her hutch and the china that went with it... last year. I'm still waiting for help carrying it up from the basement... its my fault - I really have a disorder... clutter disorder. I cant get rid of anything...

the dining room table is cleared off, and a new tablecloth ($7 on sale 75% off at Kohls, plain blue)

I bought a mop that has a Mr Clean eraser, you have no idea what is on this tile in the kitchen, I'm tired of scrubbing it on my hands and knees (and it still never comes clean! Yes, I've tried every product under the sun! Oxyclean, bleach...) I bought a set of 800 thread count sheets - for $17 each!! Which means I have to put away my dark blue/green plaid winter sheets, and put out the purty light blue with the summer comforter with purty flowers on it... I bought 2 FANS - I'm tired of coming in from my run dripping sweat and no breeze blowing... then I bought some food... those 100 calorie pak of pseudo twix bars were delicious, I think there are 2 left!!

Melinda my mom's best friend's dd named her son Damien... and she was well aware of that "MOVIE" that kept me up giving me nightmares... to this very day!! If it wasnt so close to Biblical terms, Damien probably would be a fine name..

DH is driving DS home from Univ of Il right now, dd has the school music concert... you can never find a parking spot, its hot, its crowded, its so phony - ok its stressful... going to make some food...

Nice pic - what pretty girls! And at your little oopsie at the shower. I was definitely thinking what you said...Damien? I immediately think...the devil! Oh well, at least you don't know them too well...right?

Hi to everyone! I submitted my first draft of lesson plans for my new autistic speech client. I was very nervous about it and my prof emailed me back saying I was off to a great start and just needed to tweak a few of my communication boards. Whew! That is a load off. Now I just have to get through my session with her. Still nervous about that. I hate the unknown. But that's not til next Thursday.

About to go eat dinner. Just back from WW and weigh in so tonight is a spaghetti night. Yum.

Night all!

I'm sorry you are having a rough go with the scale!! I too understand how a pound gained can really blow your day. It's just a measly pound or two but we feel so much pressure keep the weight off. I hope you don't give up and see any gains as a challenge to get them back off again!!

I give you credit for trying to be the bigger person. Hope you guys have a decent enough time to ease up the tension a bit! Hey, are you going for ice cream cake afterwards?

HA HA! Her DD was in fine form today...the 3 yo I watch ran up to her and said, "Hi Hannah!" and she just turned her nose up and walked away. SIL didn't say a word. The girl drives me nuts...later on Colby (the 3 yo) asked why she didn't have any manners!

Good afternoon!

Monica...So proud of you!

Menu for today:
B-raisin bran, skim milk, light OJ
S-goldfish , water
L-yogurt, Reeses 100 cal. snack pack, handful of fries
D-small piece of steak, corn on the cob, skim milk, pasta side noodles
S-fruit salad if anything

Hi!!!! I'm back! I know you all missed me so much, huh! I'm now going to bed because I'm on pain killers that are knocking me for a loop. I think I've cracked the code on how to loose weight on the dining plan!!

OK, spill the beans! A MOP with a MAGIC ERASER on it?! Where? What is it called?? And 800 thread count for $17? Where???? (can you tell I am in a shopping mood?) And 100 calorie twix? No kidding? How have I never seen those???

Hi!!!! I'm back! I know you all missed me so much, huh! I'm now going to bed because I'm on pain killers that are knocking me for a loop. I think I've cracked the code on how to loose weight on the dining plan!!

WOW, sounds like a quite a trip! Go get some rest so you can tell us all about it. Welcome back!

So, today was a long day. I have had a headache all day, which is lovely coupled with my daycare kids, a hyper daughter and too much mud in the backyard to play outside. And one of them broke a bracelet of Amandas we got at BBB at DW last year. It was probably all of $6 but still...all the beads came off when he pulled it apart and broke the string. She was heartbroken (and admittedly so am I even though it is silly)and he could care less that he broke it. (he broke something else last week that I sort of blew off as no biggie, so I am chatting with his mom today at pick up) She was late picking them up, normally not a big deal but today was not the day I wanted to have them late. I then had to run to the bank and it was 6:45 before I had a chance to deal with dinner. So we had McD's In the end, it was still under my max calories for today but I didnt get the salad like I should have the night before weigh in. OH, and DH was supposed to be off at 5 and is stuck there until at least 8:30 which means I have to do bath and bed for Amanda tonight when I really need a break.

No sympathy needed...just wanted to get it all out! Off to run the bath. She is in watching Shrek for the millionth time, but she is being still and quiet so I dont care.

I'm sorry you are having a rough day too!! Do you have to watch the kids tomorrow too?? I love my boss but sometimes she assumes I can just work late without asking first. I know she does not do it to be a jerk but today she called at 3:50 (she is supposed to leave her school at 3:40 to be home by 4) Said she wanted to stay late for something and was going to ask her husband to come home. He works 30m. away so by the time she called him and he got home it would be 4:30 at the earliest. Um hello? I think she assumes I have no life after work! So I lied and told her I had to teach a riding lesson and planned to be out on time. She was very nice and apologized...came home right away but I was still 20m. late getting out. Like you, some days I don't care but today was one of the days I just wanted to be done. I hope you have a good rest of the night and DH is home soon!!
