Thanks! i love my baggalini, i have to learn not to "overload" it though, my shoulder was aching by day 4..and i totally lost track of where i put small things with all the secret pockets and all. ..

Great goals for today! Today is my weekly weigh in..so as always i am being good, drinking my water and eating pretty light until then..

They are gorgeous! Question: how do you ice them so close to the edge of the cookie without any drips?? They are perfect and I bet they taste good too!

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Shannon Those cookies are AMAZING!! I watched Martha Stewart pipe an outline of icing on the edges of the cookies, let it 'harden' a bit, then fill the inside with the icing - but I've never been able to get the right consistency - on the icing OR the cookie!!

Thanks! Well, the frosting is called "poured cookie icing". I think. Anyway, it's just powdered sugar, light corn syrup and milk (I've always used skim...gotta keep the fat down ) Then I just mix it all together till it is to the right consistency. Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. Usually I get it though. The trick is that the corn syrup makes it dry and harden, but its not crunchy like royal icing is sometimes. And I use a candy making bottle to "pipe" the frosting on. Like the ketchup bottles they have in diners and stuff? That really helps to get the outline of the cookie, then I just go back and glob a bunch in the middle and blend it all in.

LOVE those crabby cookies! I love anything with a "sea/beach theme" .as a matter of fact next week my work is shutting down and i am taking the time to FINALLY start painting my house..its still stark white from when i moved in 2 years ago..and the bathroom downstairs will be a "beach theme" i might need to get some of those cookie cutters and put them in a shadow box for in there...( sorry so OT)...and your dog is ADORABLE!!!

Thanks...my house (or my mom's house) is totally beach-ed out. Of course we live in Florida so I guess that's almost the norm, but you can't hit a room without finding something beach-y! I love that style.

ok..i know its totally OT as far as Peepishness, but i just had to bring it up. This morning Lindsay was pulled over AGAIN for a DUI and she had coke in her pocket. Didn't she JUST get out of rehab. I would normally just think " what a spoiled idiot star..has too much money to know what to do with and she is just doing whatever" but if you look at her family life..what a mess!! No wonder she is the way she is..her mom just wants to be famous, and her dad is a nut job too..i actually feel bad for her to some degree. And i am so grateful for my NORMAL non-rich non-famous life and loving family. anyhoo..that was just my celebrity/gossip/rant of the day..so far

 

[winkers]

Just peep'in in to say hi! So HI! My life is like a run away train right now so I'm reading, just not posting much.

DanceYou're little duck is so photogenic! Congrats! I really want another baby!

Melinda The reason for the long dress on the trek is that we were recreating an actual pioneer handcart trek. So girls wore dresses and bonnets and the boys wore cotton britches (basically anything but jeans) and long sleeved cotton shirts with hats (not baseball). If you want a full explanation of why we do this let me know, it's sorta lengthy, but it basically builds faith and pushes the youth to do a little more than they thought they could and also to appreciate their ancestors.

Shoot, there were a bunch of other's I was going to say somthing to but my brain farted! I think the pooh muffins have gone to my head.


Oh, I just remembered one more! Shannon Great cookies! I'd like a pink flamingo please!

I thought the exact same thing, when I heard this reported on the news this morning. I feel bad for her but also feel like telling her, "ok your an adult now, time to take responsibility for your life". Reminds me of the whole Drew Barrymore situation when she was growing up, but there is a woman I admire for getting herself together and taking responsibility!

Hey guys....get me back on track. Between my two vacations I gained a very "unpretty" amount of weight. I have to change my ribbon back to 20 lbs. I made very bad choices when i was on vaca and now am having a lot of trouble getting back on the wagon. HELP!!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

NICE!

kat - i copied your questions into an e-mail to her and i'll let you know what she says! i'm in court all day tomorrow so i'm sure she'll see the e-mail before i talk to her tomorrow night.

Thanks so much!!

Kat....how do you have time to exercise during lunch? I would like to do that but I'm afraid to come back to the office all sweaty. What's your secret?
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I SHOWER, of course!! My boss is nice and lets me take a bit more than the standard hour, and make up the time in the rest of my day. I can get there, do my 45 min, shower, and make it back to work in about an hour and 10 or so.

Kat I think there is a lot of conflicting information out there - I have read that if you hit a platau then you may need to "mix" up your workouts - but I really think there is more going on then someone hitting a platau and blaming it on the Treadmill!! You ARE mixing it up! You are working out, comitting yourself, and you also do hockey (my son had severe knee problems, wanted to play football and the doc told him he was nuts - stick with hockey he said!! ) Maybe if you need to mix it up, you should just lace up the skates and skate in circles for 20 min!! I think you are doing an AMAZING job, and I appreciate your willingness to share!! On the job front!!

..

gotta run!

Awww thanks... I just want to be sure I am doing the most effective thing. I am hoping by the end of the week to get new bling... 1 lb away...!!

I don't think I can do 3 miles today because it is a strength training day... I am planning on 20 min of elliptical and my weight circuit. Tomorrow, though, I am all over it!

I also really admire Drew Barrymore. I think she is a great business woman, def. went through her share of "hollywood substance issues" but came out a real role model ( i think) for young women.

Lindsay Lohan must be going the route of that other male movie star that couldnt stay off of coke - and DUI - not Hugh Grant... Rob Lowe, no... his dad was a star too... its going to drive me crazy - he did lots of rehab stints, and finally hard time...

Kat - I was remembering reading about Target Heart Rate to lose weight vs Cardio to gain muscle - I'll try and find that article and post parts of it!

Shannon How much is a dozen cookies??!! Thanks for the recipe hints!! I really should try it!!

3 Miles done - 50 min I am so very tired, and sweaty!

 

[denecarter]

Dene How was your 5 hours of exercise?

It was only 3.75... but it felt like 5!

The same instructor did all the classes... in the two different cardio classes, we basically did the same routine... which included 200 lunges EACH. So I did a total of 400 lunges yesterday... holding 16 lbs. of dumbells... there were 4 different kinds and we did 25 at a time on each leg. Normal lunges (stand with legs really spread and dip down), front leg up on step (and dip), back leg up on step (and dip), and the killer... hold back leg up in the air and only "touch down" during the dip. My booty was screaming! But I'm glad I did them!

Hi Everyone!!!

I tried to catch up as much as possible. It's really hard when i am trying to work and do VBS stuff for tonight.It would be good if i knew what i was doing, since I am leading all the music, doing the skit with my son and introduce them to the Bible Points of the evening! Not sure sometimes if I'll have enough energy to get through, but I always do! Last night we had 142 kids and 72 workers! (Lord, help me make it through the week! )

to all the new Peeps who have joined! Don't let us intimidate you with the number of posts. Just jump right in!!!

to those I missed this past week! (You know who you are!) I apologize I missed your special day, but know I was lurking even if I didn't post!

I am sooo excited! I've paid off my Disney card today and will be able to charge/pay off immediately the rest of my Nov trip! Now I can earn some more Reward Dollars for the trip to go toward my meals! I also have $200 in Disney Dollars for souveniers! WOOHOO! Now if only November would get here so I can get to WDW!!!

Isn't someone in Disney now??? I can't remember who went, but hope they are having a blast!!!!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Charlie Sheen??

thats my guess too..although Robert Downey Jr. had issues for a long time too...such a talented guy though.

Okay, I'm in the for the water and the exercise today! I have aerobics tonight, so my poor class will pay for my cheat eating over the weekend -- isn't it cool how that works?

Well, I'm very excited because the lady who runs our aerobics program (72 years old -- completely awesome!) has decided to shut her business down after this summer session is over. And the rec center where I teach has hired me directly to continue teaching there in the fall. So I have the opportunity to develop my own class, use my own music and teach it any way I want! It makes me a bit nervous, because you know....what if everybody stops coming? But it's also great, because I get a chance to be a little more creative, do all the choreography and use songs that I really like, instead of having to stick with the program's stuff. It should be very challenging -- I've been having a ball trying stuff out on the weekends. Any song suggestions are always appreciated...

Okay, everybody, drink that water today and bring your heart rate up for 20-30 minutes. Let's burn some fat!!

*DING *DING *DINGdingding*

THAT's WHO!! I can rest easy now!!

Congratulations zigzagrrr - that's awesome!! I'm sure you'll have lots of suggestions!! Follow your path, and get that heart rate up!! Cant wait to hear what you come up with!!

I need to load up my ipod - I have one playlist for my 5K that should be all peppy upbeat songs (Think Cher!! ) but its not nearly long enough!!

My knee feels like its going to "give out" or maybe I need to "pop" it???

Dene AWESOME!!

Robert Downey, Jr.?

Man for someone who thinks she doesn't pay attention to celebrity gossip, I know way too much info. BTW my DDs told me I looked like Nick Nolte's mug shot the other day. I'd just gotten out of the shower and hadn't brushed my hair yet!

 

[pixie dust 112]

I guess I should catch up with the thread before posting replies!

THAT is hilarious. That was seriously the mug shot to end all mug shots..that and the mel Gibson one..Kathy Griffin does a funny bit about celeb mugshots, it has me rollin everytime. i hope i don't go to Hades for laughing at the expense of other people's misfortune/stupidity...cuz i just can't help it!! I swear i am a really nice person...really i am!!
