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

[punkin413]

bee & grumpy - so sad to hear your news. my prayers are with you!

noni - you go ahead and feel selfish!!! i would, too. maybe things will change in the next few months financially. keep your chin up.

melinda - i hope you guys get everything worked out with the passport! how frustrating!

i'm off to deal with work crap that's come up. i thought i was going to have a free day today to catch up on my work, but no such luck. probably won't be around til later tonight. have a good day, everyone!

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

If any one wants to call me.. I have Sandy has my numbers. Eeyore.

Just lost.... I love you all!

I am so, so, sorry Bee. What a year you are having, for sure. I will be thinking of you and your family.

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.

OH NO... I am so sorry!! Both for your cancelled plans and your husband's lack of understanding. I know how hard it is to get your hopes up for something and then have it yanked out from under you at the last minute.

punkin, congrats for being so close to goal! I wish I was only 9 lbs away instead of 50. My ultimate goal is 145. For September I would like to get to 170, which is 25 lbs away and 45 total lost.

I have a big DVC grazing bucket of a cooler here at work with me again... tuna, a flatout wrap, salad fixins, a yogurt, an apple... whee!

 

[punkin413]

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)

my goal is only one size smaller than yours (8), so i'm not being unreasonable i don't think! plus i'm only 30 years old and i haven't had any kids.....i don't have a valid excuse to not be in good shape!

So sorry Bee! Hugs and prayers to you and your entire family.

That stinks. I'm sorry you had to cancel all your plans. I don't think you are being immature or selfish at all. You're disappointed because you had to cancel something that you were looking forward to. Sounds pretty normal to me. But I'm sure that after you get settled financially, you'll be able to plan a new and even better disney vacation!

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.

Yikes! That would be completely stressing me out. Who is she traveling with again? Would she be able to reschedule if she doesn't get it in time? Either way, sending prayers and pixie dust that it gets to you soon!

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

That is my goal weight as well and I'm also 5'3". Actually 130 was my goal weight that I hit my senior year of high school. Technically it is still listed as my goal weight but I think I would be very happy hitting and staying at 140. I was looking at pictures of myself from back then and I look a little too thin (even though I really wasn't - but it just didn't look like me). Plus I think my body in general has changed since I was 18 so a couple extra lbs are ok with me. Heck if I could be a size 9/10 permanently I'd be happy.

 

[celerystalker]

I'm determined not to buy clothes until I'm in an 18. I started in a 28/30. I'm down to a 24.
Think I can find enough belts to hold my pants up? Ha. My butt is still big enough that my pants won't go past my hips without help.
So I started as "Super morbidly obese" and now I'm just "Morbidly obese."
Another 25 pounds lost and I'll be just plain "obese."
At 145, I'll be at the high end of ideal.
Just 110 more pounds to go!

I am so sorry for your loss. For both you and Grumpyyounguy as well.

To you too. I know the reality of financial pressures all too well unfortunately. And even though it may be the right thing for you to do, it doesnt make it suck any less....you know? You have a right to be upset! I know I look forward to my plans months, heck even yrs in advance. And to have that taken away from you is like squashing a dream. No fun, no matter what the reason. (And if it helps to hear it- my DH is the exact same way. He gets in those moods where he just doesnt care how it sounds coming out of his mouth. hopefully your DH is the same and didnt mean to be so harsh about it )

and prayers coming yoru way. I have a friend who had to cancel a trip to Asia beacuse of something similar...for her less than 2yr old sons passport. Ugh. Hope you can find somebody to help you guys out!

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

Mine too! But for somebody of your body frame Punkin I think that is a totally reasonable goal for you!

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)

Mine too...just think a 'perfect10' sounds like a good goal! I have never been smaller than a 12 since I was about 14 though...it will be a challenge.

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!

Just remember not to let yourself get too hungry . I know, for me, if I get to that point where I am starving I tend to throw caution to the wind and just eat whatever. Try to eat something you can have (as in on your plan, with no guilt) BEFORE the real party food starts. You can do it!

Congrats on him graduating adn I know that you will do the right thing. It is ok to have a taste--that sometimes keeps us from eating it all.

Keep up the good work.



This morning I heard a shhhhh sound coming from the kitchen and then Josua screamed. He had pulled off the counter a 6 pack of pop and 2 exploded and was spewing everywhere. Wherever he moved one was still getting him--that was funny, but the clean up was not. I have 10 foot ceilings in the main part of the house and kitchen--the pop was on every surface from cabinets, to appliances, doors, all floors, tables, ... It took me 2.5 hours to clean it all up and get all the sticky gone. I think I will now forbid pop in the house. We are really trying to cut back--so now I think I will say no to POP.


Melinda keep us updated on the passport.

Im sorry for your loss. Ill keep you in my prayer Bee!

 

[celerystalker]

Pigget - Eek! How did you get it off the walls without staining them? The same for the ceiling...

 

[punkin413]

pigget - i'm sorry, but i laughed out loud at the mental image of your little one trying to get away from the pop! by the way, in the south it's called "coke" no matter what brand name or flavor you have! sorry you had such a mess to clean up, though.

you guys would not believe how unbelievably smokey it is here. i mean, i can barely see this HUGE oak tree that's like 50 yards from my window. it's all the smoke from the south georgia/florida fires coming up this way. it's crazy. and it stinks! i can only imagine what it's like for those closer to the fires. i was gonna go to lake lanier islands (a local water park that has a fake beach) tomorrow to de-stress from all the work i've had lately, but i'm not sure about laying outside and breathing in smoke! yuk!

Piece of Cake! (I've GOT to stop saying that!)

You are a ROCK STAR! 24,22,20,18,16,14,12..... The incredible shrinking woman!

 

[lexmelinda]

OK....

I've got our congressman's and senator's offices on this so we'll see what happens.

DD is on a tour with a school group so the dates are set in stone. My sister in law is paying so we applied for the passport the first day after she made the offer.

Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust.

 

[MA pigletfan]

Punkin--yay for you being in your 130's...i can't remember the last time i was in 130ish land..maybe at 22?? 8 years ago almost!! ah...the joys of getting old..

 

[MA pigletfan]

That is my goal weight as well and I'm also 5'3". Actually 130 was my goal weight that I hit my senior year of high school.

another 5'3 er here too...i put 140 as my goal weight too..i was a 9/10 at that weight and perfectly happy..i am not a small framed gal, so any smaller might be a next to impossible feat!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Hi All!

Been extremely busy the last few days and haven't had a chance to check in!

How's everyone doing???

I'll try to catch up.

 

[dance2874]

I just know I am gonna miss the whoohooty party in a few posts...I have to leave to go to a market research type meeting...they ask us a bunch of questions on a topic for about an hour and pay me $100 I guess that is worth missing the big celebration here

Actually I was born and raised in the South. My dad was a military brat so I can thank him for the words like cubbard and pop--I also say neither and either like NITHER AND ITHER---Long vowel sounds--

I have not been to Lake Lanier in about 6 years but had a blast when I went.

Pigget - Eek! How did you get it off the walls without staining them? The same for the ceiling...

WHen we built the house I told the builder I wanted paint that when I washed the walls it sould not fade or leave marks. As soon as I saw it I got a cloth and warm water and wiped everything down. Then diluted Lysol allpurpose cleaner and cleaned then all 2 more times. I have mopped the floor another 2 times since my last post and it is still making that sound when I walk across. I also re cleaned all cabinets and counter tops and hit some of the walls again. He hasn't tried to pull anything off the counter since then.

 

[celerystalker]

The woo hooty is close - I can almost feel it!

 

[pigget74]

I know that my sister got hers the day before she left. THey finally expidited them and then overnighted them. Hopefully all will work out.

 

[pigget74]

Not many more post in order to get the BIG ONE
