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

[pigget74]

Checking in real quick, just in case anyone remembers me....

Life is still crazy. I have 2 more weeks in my current class and then a month off!! Yeah!!

DH wrecked my new car yesterday. For years I drove a car with dents. This year I got a new dent-free car. It was raining yesterday and DH and DD ran off the rode and hit a sign. I have a dent again and it knocked the car out of alignment. But everyone is okay - so I am thankful.

Still playing baseball - all the time. This weekend may be the end of the road though.

I have missed everyone. I have had no gain and no loss - kind of stuck...

I was in a meeting at church--Joshua and Katie were in the nursery alone playng and the lights went out. Of course that ended the meeting and I went straight for the nursery and all I could here was Joshua crying its WAINGING!! SO we left and then the bottom really dropped and I was kind of and drove 25-30 ll the way home. IT was really bad there for a little bit. Glad they are alright.

Random vent here.

I'm soooo grumpy today. And I have been for a couple days. I'm trying to be a "grown up" about it and realize that it's life but I know for a fact that most people are not miserable every single day. I'm just hating school right now. My supervisors just become more and more ridiculous every day. I absolutely cannot wait to get the heck out of there and finish the program. But I will settle for knowing that next semester I will be working out in the real world nowhere near that dreaded clinic. I was thinking about things today and I realized that I'm more concerned with what grade I'm getting and what my supervisor thinks of me than what I'm planning for my therapy sessions. I don't plan things because I think it will help them, I do it because I feel like my supervisor wants me to do it. And all this paperwork is a joke. Every single supervisor has their own special way of writing things like soap notes, etc. So that means that I have to do mine 3 different ways, and technically all are perfectly acceptable. Then I come home to take an online midterm - which I'm not so sure how I did actually. And I go out in the other room to get something eat once I finished and my mom is in a mood as well apparently because she isn't talking.

And tomorrow I get to wake up and do it all over again at camp. On Monday I came in and I was with one camper the entire time I was there, the one with the behavior issues and who requires the most assistance. With no guidance as to what activity I should do. My supervisor and another "teacher" were huddled over another girl at the computer. Mind you this is a girl who likes to look up words in the dictionary for fun. She does not need 2 people hovering over her while I'm pulling a 9 yr old off the bookshelf. It's just ridiculous. Then yesterday I get my alumni magazine where I can see all the girls from my graduating class that are getting married and having babies. Which is a really sore subject for me because I do feel like a loser for not being closer to settling down and in a relationship. Although I think I'd go bonkers if I had a child right now. But that's not the point.

I am so unhappy with everything right now. I just want to stop everything and start over. I would give anything to have a day where I could do whatever I wanted to do without knowing that I really should be doing something for school. I'm at the clinic everyday and at night, I'm either working on lesson plans or doing other assignments. Which usually I finish around 10pm but I'm too wound up so I end up staying up til 12 trying to relax but thinking about all the other things I still have to do. And the weekends are the same. I'm running to the store to pick things up for sessions, writing lesson plans, reading research articles. It never stops.

Okay I'm done. I really feel like my last few posts on this thread have been really depressing and grumpy and I'm sorry for that. I just hate feeling this miserable and I need somewhere to get it out.

Wedding central was a little hectic yesterday and today. My sister bought her dress over 6 mos ago. She looked lovely in it. (insert forboding sad music here...)Went to try it on today to make sure her strapless bra was ok with it and it wont zip all the way up She was of course in tears and we are all going nuts trying to figure out a way to get her to lose 2 inches in her waist by next friday.

She went to GNC in desperation yesterday and they sold her some sort of pills to help with water retention. She also bought one of those sauna belts that make you sweat in your waist and one of those plastic exercise suits (the ones that look like trash bags) Desperate times call for desperate measures people!

She and I went to a specialty bra place today for some heavy duty waist sucker inner thingy. They had several and we had a heck of a time getting them on and off. It was honestly hysterical! Lets just say at one point she was leaning up against the wall, I had my knee pressing into her butt for leverage and was yanking on the thing with both hands trying to hook it closed The good news is that it seemed to give us 2 1/2 inches but she hasnt been able to try it on with the dress yet. (and I am not certain if she could really breathe in it, just a minor detail though ) Her fiance is home and he cant help her try it all on (of course) and I cant get back out to her place tonight. So tomorrow will be the moment of truth. I had the zipper almost up yesterday, but needed about 1 1/2-2 inches to get it all the way up. Pixie dust and happy thoughts welcome!

Things will work. Just be sure and not mix all the diet pills. I know it is very frustrating for everyone.

Joshua is screaming for me so I need to go. Have a good one everybody.

It is funny you guys said that about gone with the wind! I was thinking that too, except I am pretty sure Scarlet wasnt using the language we were when trying to get her in and out of those things!

She just dropped her fiance off at work and is headed here, dress and all her aparatus in hand.......I will of course give a full report!

On another note-
I did a 'pre-weigh' today, and I need to watch what I am eating the next few days. The number was not a happpy one so far this week

 

[eeyore45]

Waist Widdler... one hand on side other hand high up above head - slowly bend over while reaching up high (list to the side your hand on side is) do 100 at a time... then switch sides -

the trick here is to do these very very slowly, keeping your back straight, knees slightly bent and shoulder width apart - and keep reaching with that raised hand -

Have her do these 3 times a day - and she'll be fine!! (to do a fat burner exercise would be to run 30 min a day at a time also!)

this reminds me of an episode of The Cosby Show, when his wife needed to loose 2 inches and 5# she hired a private trainer (another famous actress whom I forgot her name!) and she ate a salad, no dressing and NO croutons, the look on her face as she watched Bill eat that crouton - but she refused to give in...

and of course she fit into her sparkly dress!

Good lUck

Have fun you party - world travelers!! WOOHOOTY

Ooops I also meant to quote your previous post.

I am soo stressed about those inches to squeeze into the dress!!!!
The knee on her bum to brace yourself is hysterical! Poor dear wont be able to breathe!

My pre-weighs are usually better than my real-weighs! I swear, I have like a 7 pound fluxuation!

Heyyyy, there IS alli threads in the Community Boards. I am more than a little curious!

EEYORE- does she pulse 100 times in that position or do 100 of those going back to straight upright in between if that makes any sense???

 

[eeyore45]

My alli scares me - I really would be cautious, (as I am considering, cant there please be a magic pill?? but golly gee, I already have loose stools.. tmi) I'm so glad Aries is following the directions to the letter - that Orange oil leakage could be a problem. I do know someone who took it when it was prescribed, I think she lost 100# - but she has gaind most of it back (its been a long time, more than a couple of years I'll bet!) She never mentioned the orange accidents btw!! (but I would carry extra clothes, Its the night time accidents - dont ever think you can flatuate (pass gass) willy nilly!! )


NO pulsing, slow movements, ever so slow bend over, STAY BENT over the movement is in the hand that is over your head reach with it, and then your body goes a lil lower so reach and you come up a few inches... mostly stay bent... but its the slow movements - start with 25 - 50 (its not as painful as the movements behind your back)

 

[eeyore45]

OK< I just looked again, the first 50 you can do sitting on a chair - so I guess YOU do bend over and come up a little bit ... lets say bend over as far as you possibly can, then come up 1/4 of the way, then back down again...

This is an exercise from Callenitics - I dont do, but I know they work... I feel lazy... when I do these, I do notice a difference...

 

[dance2874]

OK, I think we got it! I may start trying these myself. Sort of like crunches for us lazy people

 

[aries1980]

afternoon ladies!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Have you guys ever watched that late night infomercial about NON-excercises that you just BREATHE your way thin? Ok, it's REALLY vague and has lots of testimonials...but the "product" seems to be the scamiest scam on the planet earth. Or maybe it's tightening muscle groups one at a time. You never know, this infomercial is just so cleverly done. Snake oil!!!!

OR!!!! That belt with electronic vibrating thingies in it so it DOES the sit ups for you! While your carpooling! While your relaxing! etc....SOOOOO sad!

 

[monymony3471]

I am totally an ol fashioned gal. No pills, no gimmicks. I have to eat healthy and exercise.

It's all on me, if it's meant to be.

Nice to see some of you back! Hang out more often k?

Have a great day. Go out and try to enjoy it somehow.

 

[punkin413]

afternoon ladies!!!

hi! you're so cute.....always saying hi!

i'm getting ready to post some good news over the peep meet thread......check it out!

 

[MA pigletfan]

hello everyone!
I am back from a funtabluous time at WDW!! However, i have to go to weigh in tonight and am a bit nervous about the damage DDP did to my weight. Ah well...those crabcakes, cheese plates and chocolates were worth it

 

[ThinkTink75]

Its funny that you called them that. Once on Oprah I saw something called just that- Crunches For Lazy People! If you inhale and tighten your abs and hold for 15 seconds, then realease and then repeat- it mimicks the contraction of a crunch but it can be done anywhere from the desk to the car to as Oprah said "Right now as I host my show". It was the show when they showed tips from her trainer when she lost wieght. lol.
Not to be totally off topic or anything....

[MA pigletfan]

heehee thanks Punkin'!
We totally did alot of walkin!! I really wish i brought a pedometer with me..oh well, next time.
Besides i am sure i sweated out about 3 gallons of water a day..June in WDW-STICKY CITY!!

Well peeps...not such good news here. We have tried every undergarment known to man and she still needs an inch or so. We actually were able to zip it this morning but the minute she moved, it went down again. She leaves here on Friday to go back to Ohio for the wedding and I leave monday. We have no time for anyone to fix this dress, not to mention every place around here said they cant do it anyways. And we cant afford to pay a ton at this point even if they could. She just left here a few minutes ago after we tried yet another sucker inner thingy, and she left in tears and I started right as she left.

I just wish I could help her in some way. I know her pain, been there myself a few times too. I just cant think of any easy fix we can do ourselves to the dress. The top part is a corset type and it zips to the waist. We can zip it past her hips, but I think that is the problem-her hips are a bit too wide making it impossible to close the zipper to finish the rest of the way. We either need to find a way to add fabric and move the zipper (because the seams have zero in them we could let out) or take out the zipper and find a way to make the corset go all the way down. Both of which seem too hard for me, a novice seamstress at best, to do. I am just so upset that I can help her...she has done so much for me.

Hey, this is a weight loss thread! Nothing weight-loss related is off topic!

I may start trying that idea... every little bit in the ab area can help, right?

Welcome back MA, glad you had a great time! Don't worry about any found lbs... we still have to live our lives, you know! Jump right back up here with us and it will be gone in no time.
