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

[monymony3471]

Hi everyone. I stayed the same this week. I haven't been on much lately, mostly because of final exams and such. Also, I've had some complications with having two teeth pulled.

I lost a good friend last night. She died around midnight. Please remember her family. She leaves behind an adult son and a 9 year-old daughter. I feel so bad for her daughter and I've cried most of the day just thinking about what she must be going through. My friend battled with cancer off and on for the last 4 years. It started off as breast cancer then spread to her lungs, then to her bones, and finally it went to her brain. Please remember her family.

Many hugs and prayers for you and your friend's family. That's a toughy.

Happy Friday, Peeps!

Today was a beautiful day! I hope you all had nice weather, too!

I lost 2.5 lbs this week---which is VERY surprising. I am really happy about it though!

Today's totals so far:
Breakfast: Lowcarb bagel w/slice FF cheese and slice tomato 2 pts
Lunch: Turkey Burger and corn cob from the grill 11 pts
Snack: 100 calorie Chips Ahoy granola bar 2 pts
Dinner: ??
I don't have many points left for dinner. So I will probably have a chili with a big green salad. Fiber is filling and usually is less points.

In case I don't get a chance to post this weekend:

I am so sorry. Cancer is so devastating.

Shannon-your hair looks great! I still need to go get mine cut. I was going to do it last week and never got to. I am so way overdue for a change it is not even funny anymore.

And welcome back to all of our travelling peeps! It sure has been quiet here without everyone!

Hi Peeps,

Well talk about last minute. I did get a gift for my mom of course, but I still really wanted to do a photo slideshow set to music. I couldn't figure out how to get it to work but I was just fooling around with it and I got it!

So I need some good songs to put in there. I have already decided on one of the songs - The theme song for Gilmore Girls, Where you Lead. I'd like 2 more.

So I know you all love music - give me some good tunes. Not too sappy but appropriate for Mother's Day.

Thanks!

Well it may be a bit too sappy, but we did something similar a few yrs back and used "In my Life" by the Beatles. An oldie but a goodie...the sentiment is good I think.
Lyrics:
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Shannon-I don't know if it is what you are looking for but I think "This Ones For the Girls" by Martina McBride is such a good song about being a strong woman.

"I Hope You Dance" by Leann Womack is also really good. (It was also the father/daughter dance song at my wedding).

 

[UtahMama]

Apparently not too much to catch up on from last night til now. Why have we all not been that chatty lately?



Hush now! You're not gaining weight - you're growing a baby!

Welcome Back UtahMama! Those pounds will surely disappear shortly. I gained about 3 lbs on my cruise and lost it in a week without hardly trying. Just drink tons of water to help it along.

Got my haircut today. And highlighted. I did get a sideswept bang (fringe), but you can barely see it in the pic I'm gonna show you. Next time, I'm going to go for a heavier bang. Actually I could have gone for it now, but the guy who does my hair is extremely cautious and wasn't really getting that I wanted actual bangs, not 10 strands of hair that are shorter than the rest. I still like the cut though.

A before picture

And an after pic:

It's actually not that short either. There is a little more length in the back. It hits just past the nape of my neck.

Thats it for now. Phoebe is getting her "hair done" today at the Groomers. I want to do some things around the house before she is ready. Have a skinny day everyone!

(and I'm going to be posting an update to my May Pre-TR sometime today if anyone is interested. Come on by!)

Flippy and CUTE! Love the sad "before" look and after with lip gloss and a smile! It's a FIERCE new doo! Cute, Cute, CUTE!!!!!

BELLE - I'm gonna BORG you too - I left those off, because they are on my list to slip to future daughter in law!! Have you heard alabama's "angels among us" Well, I do love the sappy songs!!

Wendy - thinking of you!!

GIVIN a SHOUT OUT to BEE HEY BEE!!! May you have a bee - utiful weekend, and my you be appreciated for all you do , and all YOU ARE!!


Upon my heart I feel the need to share, not for anyone in particular...but...
at Sam's club they had a "Woman of Faith Study Guide/Bible Study" Encouraging One another - Psalm 69:32 (I do so love the Psalms) "Be encouraged, you who worship God" and part of the discussion "....once you have invited Him to enter your life, you are on His mind and He is in your heart." May you feel His peace, and be surrounded with His love!!

I'm up almost 5 pounds!!!! I did pretty good at Disneyland, I thought! I do feel water retentiony. I was going to take a free pass, but thought what if I cant get it off before next friday?

Melinda- Damien is a Baaaaad name. I feel for you! That is something I would do! It reminds me of those Twix commercials. "Need a moment?"


Thanks Melinda for being the weigh-in goddess today! I'm up to *here* in dirty laundry!

Welcome back!!!

Thanks Eeyore for the encouragement! It's so easy to get discouraged when you know you're eating well, but the scale doesn't show it. This will be a new week with new goals! I figure I'm 1/4 of the way to my 20lbs by Sept!!! I'm hoping it will be off by August 18th, my DD's wedding! NOOO..not hoping...IT WILL BE OFF!!!

I can totally relate to this comment!!!

I like the part in Angels Among Us where the kids are singing. So pretty! Thank you for sharing the psalm. I really enjoyed that!

 

[mousehouselover]

sshhhhh, I had a good old-fashioned southern meal today. BBQ ribs beans, potato salad and a sliver of pecan pie. yuummmmmyy!

Ok, I took most of last week off (shame on me.....) and I gained 1 lb. I'm still down more than 10 snce starting so can keep my ribbon. I should be closer to my next one though......... sigh

Things are looking up around here. I officially have poison ivy but now that I know waht it is, i have the right medication for it so I'm feeling better. The youngin's are doing much better, no one fells icky and they went outside to play today. I talked to the bank and to the scchool and we have my tuition worked out for my pharmacy tech course. After I finish, I can work in a pharmacy and 6 mos later, I can sit for the national certification exam.

DH is trying to watch a movie that looks like it could be rather involved.

and to those who need them. to everyone else.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, it's been a crazy day! I am up 3 lbs from last week, but I don't know how last week got counted or if it was counted. I am also using the new scale now, so . So Melindaweighingoddess - I'm at 224.2 right now. AF is here, so hopefully that has something to do with it, and I will be closer to goal by next week, when we leave. But I'm not counting on it. I was SO frustrated and disappointed this morning, but I am feeling better now. I am still frustrated, but I'm not, nor will I be, quitting. I WILL keep on peepin' on! I am anxious to talk to my doctor about this, but that is not until after my trip. I will be weighing in a day early next week because I am hitting the road Thursday afternoon!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I just love my PeePs!

Thanks for the pick me up and the cyber

I'm not giving up. I just think I'll wait a week or two before I get on the scale again. I write down what I eat but I never thought of also including emotional triggers. I know a big one is when I dont get enough sleep- I carb load hoping for that carb coma. Its a really bad habit. I agree healthy choices and some me exercise time. Well over due. Mom's taxi service is on shutdown for a while.

OH! Guess what!? I ran into a high school friend of mine. I have seen her from time to time usually at w-mart. Well, I found out that she has a membership at the gym that I joined in Jan and havent been utilizing to its max potential- so I'm excited to have an exercise friend close by. She has lost 20#.

I told my friend about ya'll. She may be interested in coming in Sept- if she is off that weekend and if we have room.

So see- I'm not giving up- just had to wait for God to point me in the right direction- w-mart of all places- I have a new excitement for exercise and I get to catch up with my friend.

Prom tonight and ballet recital tomorrow.

And to all my fellow peeps a big to you and may you feel lifted up as well-

Hey, Sparkie, that's one of the main reasons why we all hang out here!

I really like your theory about carb loading after not getting enough sleep. That makes a lot of sense to me. Woo HOO on finding an exercise buddy!!!

Thats it for now. Phoebe is getting her "hair done" today at the Groomers. I want to do some things around the house before she is ready. Have a skinny day everyone!

Your new do is SO cute! We need to see how cute Phoebe looks too! I get to see my grandpuppy TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

I lost a good friend last night. She died around midnight. Please remember her family. She leaves behind an adult son and a 9 year-old daughter. I feel so bad for her daughter and I've cried most of the day just thinking about what she must be going through. My friend battled with cancer off and on for the last 4 years.

So sad, Fran. I lost my mom to breast cancer. Everyone please remember to do your monthly self exams. And get those mammograms if you're due.

I am getting my first Crocs tomorrow!! I am excited! Now my only decision is what color. I am thinking pink.

You'll love them! Pink sounds like a good choice. Think I'll get pink next time

So I need some good songs to put in there. I have already decided on one of the songs - The theme song for Gilmore Girls, Where you Lead. I'd like 2 more.

So I know you all love music - give me some good tunes. Not too sappy but appropriate for Mother's Day.

Where you Lead is an excellent choice. That is the tune that plays when my DD calls my cell phone. I use We Are Family for one of my sisters (but that is more appropriate for siblings than a mom, I suppose. What about the Friends theme?

I am up 3 lbs from last week, but I don't know how last week got counted or if it was counted. I am also using the new scale now, so . So Melindaweighingoddess - I'm at 224.2 right now.

WOO! You must be doing the less than one week dance today, Lynda!!!

Hang in there and DO keep on Peepin'!

And lastly, WELCOME BACK UMA!!!
