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

[Wonders10]

I can't believe it took me 3 days to finally remember to post something really funny that happened over the weekend. It's Disney-ish related which is another reason I need to share.

On Sunday, my mom and I went to a large outlet mall down here (Sawgrass Mills in case any of you are familiar). Anyway they have a Disney Character Premiere Outlet which of course I always have to go into.

Well they had lots of stuff from The Happiest Celebration on Earth. Including the all gold and partially sequined Mickey Ears.

Well I'm looking at something nearby when a teen (probably 15ish?), walks by and picks one up while saying "OMG they have Mickey yamakas!"



It was really funny to me at the time, but then a little sad that this person had no idea that they were the world famous Mickey Ears.

Hi Peeps! Today was a long day! I got my blood work done and I did the ultrasound. I know the ultrasound tech can't say too much about what he observes. I did notice since the screen was pointing towards me that he zeroed in on two different areas and typed in cyst. So, when I got home I called my Dr. and I won't be able to discuss the results of my tests until after my vacation. So, I went and WebMD'ed ovarian cysts and totally freaked myself out. If any Peeps have experience with this or words of wisdom I would love to hear it! I'm hoping it isn't that big of a deal. Thank you!

If you are taking the PILL it could be causing the cyst. If that is the case the doctor can put you on a different dosage. Try not to get to worked up-if there was a problem the doctor would have called you already.

I am so HOT on this diet! I cant wait till Friday!!!
HOT as in: "Goodness knows when I'd KILL for a cracker or cookie, so for now I LOVE string cheese and soynuts"

The last time I weighed this week I WAS down. So with my massive fluctuations, WHO KNOWS!

Me to UM!! I really feel good about it this week. Hopefully I am down on Friday, if not I might get discouraged... Crossing fingers for both of us!

My SIL had them and like the others said, a bit painful, but treatable. I wouldn't worry too much, although I know it is hard!

i

okay.....so i'm in the 130's now!!!!!! i weighed myself this morning and i was at 139. i don't think i've been in the 130's since i was like 20 years old. but AF is coming this week so i'm not counting on it for friday.

WOO!! I have never seen the 130s as an adult. Though at 5'8, I start getting told to eat a cookie at 140, so I am not sure I should be in the 130s.

Hehehe. I was in front of a guy in line for Space Mtn... he was like what is this ride? What does it DO? Is this the one with Yeti?

pigget, thanks for the tip on OKW. I have heard of others having trouble w/ the dining plan addon not showing up, although none with the rudeness level that you experienced. So sorry that they didn't help.

I did well today, added a 200 cal ff popcorn snack to bring me to 1100. Plus the 1.5 hours of hockey, so I should be good. Next week I will try harder to get up to 1200 and not under-eat, but the first week back I don't think it will hurt to be a bit under. Honestly I wasn't even that hungry today... had to force myself to eat everything in my "grazing bucket" that I brought to work. I think the 64 oz of water help, and I am back on the Mega-T caplets which I think help a bit w/ appetite control (they have UM's hoodia!).

Skinny Disney Dreams!

So on memorial day, my DH was visiting my MIL. He told her that the girls and I are going to WDW in a few weeks. She was appalled that we were going without him. He told her it was his idea and that I always take off a few days after school gets out to do things with the kids and we decided to go to disney. She also can't understand why we would want to go there again. Funny thing is the last day of school I always take the girls for manis and pedis. Our plane tickets down cost less than the manis and pedis! DH says we go so wild those few days that it's probably cheaper to go to WDW because we have the APs. I that man.

PEEPS, I am not in a good place. There are too many things going on right now and I feel like my life is crashing around me. I don't know if I'll be posting much for the next couple of weeks.

We had to cancel all of our travel plans for the next 6 mos. DH said it was too much of a burden financially to do any of it. I won't be going in Jan to the 5K either. He has no idea that our trip was what has been keeping me together and focused on something. He said I'm being very selfish and immature for being really upset by our change in plans.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

PASSPORT UPDATE....I called last night and the operator crushed all my hopes. DD's passport is being processed in New Orleans and they have not picked up any of the 3 urgent messages we sent to expedite the passport! Since we are in KY, we are not near any of the regional passport agencies where we could show up in person to get a passport which the operator last night suggested.

I asked the guy I talked to this morning if there was anything else I could do, say, or pay to speed up the process and he said no. I told him I guess I would just keeping praying. He said "it works!". So that's where we are. I am calling my congressman's office at 9am to see if they can help.

All I can say right now is please pray for my marriage or the courage to do what's right for me.

I'll be praying for you Amber.

Thanks Melinda love ay!

Right back atcha, Brigitte! I hope I didn't speak out of turn but peeps prayer is powerful stuff. Hope you are improving every day.

So, when I got home I called my Dr. and I won't be able to discuss the results of my tests until after my vacation.

I have never had an ovarian cyst but I have known many ladies who have and all have been just fine. Go enjoy your trip and don't worry!

going to study ladies have a skinny night!!

I'm so proud of you, Christine!

what???!!?? SIX ALMONDS?????? you're kidding, right?

Yes! I know that sounds dumb but the lady that I share an office with eats almonds for a snack. Whole almonds are 7 calories each and she says that satisfy her hunger unlike any other snack.

DH says we go so wild those few days that it's probably cheaper to go to WDW because we have the APs. I that man.

WOW! I love him too! What an exciting spur of the moment trip. We can't expect everyone to share our love of the happiest place on earth!? Go have a blast!

My father died today! I need you peeps.. Please pray for me.. and Grumpyyounguy.. he loved him as well.

Prayers headed your way, Bee!

PEEPS, I am not in a good place. There are too many things going on right now and I feel like my life is crashing around me.

Hang in there, Noni. Prayers for you too.

I HOPE TODAY IS BETTER & BRIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY...

SO sorry to hear this. I hate when it happens, but sometimes (lots of times) we just have to step back and get things together financially. Time to focus ona new goal, like finding ways to save money here and there, so that after this 6 months pass you'll be able to make new plans!

 

[pixie dust 112]

OK melinda....I'm sending out passport prayer for your DD!

Still here Pixie? Cant sleep

If you went through the post office go to www.usps.com and it has a passport site and click on that and it has the different areas and this is where that phone number is. You need to call this number and call your congressman as well. If the process on the passport has not been started you need to contact your congressman asap. This phone got my sister connected to New Orleans and she probably ended a dozen times and hold for 45 minutes and so forth. They even told her to call at 6:00 a.m. because very few people knew it was open that early.

Hang in there. Six months will quickly pass. Perhaps you can focus on planning a trip for next year. It would give you something to look forward to and help fill the void.

Oh i can relate. 3 years ago I had a 10 lb cyst/tumor removed. It was completely benign and it was called a "dermoid cyst" ...pretty nasty. But after a surgery and a few weeks of bedrest..i was good to go. Its an incredibly common thing, and mine was a rare case, being so big and being a dermoid..but people have ovarian cysts all the time and its nothing to get worried about ...PLEASE enjoy your vacation and know that we are all here for ya..and many of us can relate

THAT is soooo Funny! I'm sure none of our Jewish Peeps took offense. Funny is Funny! Do we even haveany Jewish Peeps? Shalom if we do! And Shalom if we don't.

I'm trying to picture your mil standing slack jawed in shock and horror at your NERVE. AP's are the BEST! For DisneyLand, we only have to pay for food and a hotel (and souvenirs, of course)

WOW! So sorry Bee!!!! That's awful!
You're having quite the year aren't you?
I have a nice dry shoulder you can cry on any time!
Prayers of peace and comfort sending your way!

OH NOOOO! Maybe the $$ will change before then? I'd be feeling PLENTY selfish and immature right now! WDW is my FOCUS for losing weight! BUT, if you cant, you cant. It'll still be there (the WORST words of comfort ever, eh???)!!! Keep posting though. Sounds like it'd be helpful to just vent here! We love you and hope things'll look up for you! I really hope you'll be able to make it somehow!

Bee---my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I think I would feel the same way. My yearly vacation is what I focus and plan for all year. It gets me thru alot of the mundane and yucky things. But if you really do need to get financial things taken care of then do that first. Just plan a vacation for after you achieve that goal.

WOO!! I have never seen the 130s as an adult. Though at 5'8, I start getting told to eat a cookie at 140, so I am not sure I should be in the 130s.

i'm only 5'3", so 130 is a good weight for me. that's my goal. 9 pounds to go!

 

[UtahMama]

Punkin, I'm fairly certain my skeleton weighs more than 130!

My Goal weight is size 10 ONLY because I have some seriously fabulous size 9/10 clothes (some generous designers made me a 7, which I LOVED). 16,14,12,10!!!! Four sizes away! Piece of CAKE! (MMMMmmm, caaaake)



Ok, DIET dilemma forth-coming. My DS18 is grad-ji-ating High School tomorrow! FRIDAY at 11:00! ((with honors, may I brag?)) So he's from DH #1 (ex-DH, the practice husband) is coming to Utah AND we're having a big huge potluck BBQ shin-dig over at our house in the afternoon. I actually am friends with his new wife, which is sort of Jerry Springerish...but she's awesome! The CAKE following the bbq is tormenting me and all the yummy dishes people will bring. I KNOW I can do it! I'll make great choices and limit my carbs to whatever's on the salad and I'll skip the gross dry nasty hamburger buns. ( I am on phase one still of SB). I'll just want to be stuffing myself (graciously of course) because my exDH will be all scrutinizing me (he won't, I know). It's about my son's Graduation and that will keep me focused!

Plus, I KNOW my weight is down this week and I don't want to blow it. Actually it'd be next week's weight I'd be messing with because I weigh first thing in the morning after I pee (pee is WEIGHT!).

Ok, thanks for letting me rant and ramble. You've been a great help!
