DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[TwinkieMama]

Hi Peeps!
I just got caught up on the thread... you all rock! I love the recipes and the plans for Thanksgiving.

My in-laws are here and despite the extra work and stress I have been good(ish)... it has been hard drinking my water because I am just too busy (oh yeah, DD has pinkeye and DS is the pukey kind of sick... I spend my time mopping, scrubbing, disinfecting and doing the ever present laundy!!!)

So water has fallen off dramatically, hard to get my exercise in, food has been ok.

However I found a hidden diet danger.... pleasing others.... I totally wasted 90 calories on sausage today. I don't even like pork in any form and sausage is pure fat and to me not worth the calories even if I am not dieting BUT I have been turning down food due to the diet and the sausage was imported from NC by FIL for our family and I ate it to make him happy.

What a waste!

Norah's got the pukes too. She's too little to do it at the toliet. It just comes up wherever she is. Poor baby!

Disneyland MAmaI made that Spinach/feta frittata today. It was very good!

I am going to do a crustless pumpkin pie. So it'll be like a custard I guess. I know pumpkin isnt till phase 2 but I think it'll be ok...We weigh in the very next day after Thanksgiving so that should keep us "good"! I just dont want to do any damage that might "catch up"with me for next week's weigh in. This weekend should be nice due to some good carbs being re-introduced. I think the lentil soup I made for week 1 REALLY helped with the losing! I need to make some more tomarrow!

TwinkieI totally know how the need to please our family's can sabotage our best efforts. You did the right thing, though. Just make up for it tomarrow. You've got some serious stress with the Twinkie-in-laws (I'm guessing!)

Hello all, i am feeling so much better i did get to sleep a lil and take my drugs that really helped, but my back feels better i went for a walk around my neighborhood in my mind Haha no i am gonna go to the gym tommorow today is my fast pass day that is what i call it, but tommorow i will back again and UM i will be at aerobics even if i just walk laps around and work on my abs because that is what really needs it.. take care gonna go do my laundry that i was supposed to be done today ,,, take care everyone and just keep slimmin

 

[UtahMama]

UUUgh! It 's the middle of the night. I can not sleep. If I give Norah a teeny sip of water, she violently throws up for a long while. Poor baby! I tried ice chips, too.
I dont want her to become dehydrated so I'll give her some clear pedialite in the morning and let her body absorb hopefully SOME of it before she throws up. This is the roughest case she's ever had. Of course the rest of us wont get it till Thanksgiving (Selfishly giving me a smeall twisted advantage at weigh in on Friday, LOL!).

I am freezing! The thermostat says 71 and I am just shivering! Is that a pre-flu symptom? Lovely!

 

[lexmelinda]

Good morning, peeps! Sounds like everyone is progressing. Spongemommie...glad your back is better! Bee...happy you're working your way up to this! Aries....thanks for the recipes! Twinkie...way to hang in there even with the kids being sick and the Twinkie-in-laws at your house! P & PD to you! UM....pm sent. Try to rest when Norah rests if you can. You even got a new installment up amidst the illness...you are my hero!

I admire the way you are all keeping up the exercise despite your aversion to it. That's me too! Although I must say I did enjoy walking on the walking track last week so today is my first day back to work since "the virus" so I'll try to walk again.

SNACK IDEA: The lady I share an office with at work has lost 30 pounds by calorie counting. She keeps almonds on her desk at work. She says every time she feels hunger and thinks she can't wait til the next meal or snack, she eats 4 or 5 almonds and that satisfies her appetite more so than any other snack she has tried. They are only 7 calories each.

Have a great day, everyone!

WTG Melinda!! I love your synopsis!! My thoughts too!!


I cheat when I do my laundry - I do 10 - 12 loads all at once!!! (drying it all at once can be a challenge, so I stagger a touch, 2 loads at 10 min 4 loads at 20 min 2 loads at 30 - and then pick up the other 10 min loads!! Yep, this house lost a washer dryer, so I'm at the laundromat!!


Grab those snack ideas where ever you can, and take what works!! I cant stand veggies... (horror child hood I imagine! have you ever had food shoved down your throad and then dared to throw it up? There are just some veggies that give me the gag reflex... fruits I can do, so I'm at a loss when someone cant eat fruits!!!)

I think I'm doing best because I've been working on my mind set. Not so much exercise - altho I do grab some here and there, but not nearly what needs to be done in the long haul.. so while I wait for water to boil.. do some lunges... before I sit down to watch tv, do some of those sit squats...

You'll like this tip.. DS is home, his favorite is apple pie, so I bought him one from an apple haus - amazing apple pies, all fresh homemade... BUT... the top crust didnt 'cook' its raw - ewwwww!!!

I'm also debating on seeing the film "Food Nation" I understand the expose on hamburger is over the top - and ewww...

Time for dd parent/teacher conference!

for those that need the healthy wizard to visit!

(its reminding me of our horror plane trip home from wdw - dd never filled an air sick bag - that night 9 bags - and those bags can hold an amazing amount!! )

 

[LBelle]

Good morning my shrinking pals!!!!!


Sounds like a few of you are fighting off the dreaded flu bug!!!! That sucks!!!! Anytime I get sick it just throws me off of everything!!! Hope it passes you all by!!!

Well....last week was 'back to basics' week for me...you know, water, more mini-meals, etc. This week I throw in the good old excersice routines faithfully!!! Dusted off my treadmill yesterday and felt great breaking a sweat again!!! I have been conveniently looking the other way for the past few weeks now (only really use it when it's winter-like), pretending it's not there!!! Now that I've been on it again I know that I will 'see'it daily from now on!!! You see, we have a gym in the Rec Room but that is NOT where my beloved treadmill is!!! I know me and so, as soon as you enter my house, on your left, will be a lovely formal Living Room/Dining Room....dining room part looks like it's supposed to BUT my Liv.rm. consists of nothing more than a bookcase, a wing chair and A GIANT TREADMILL!!!!!! Drives my mother batty!!!!!!! "How can you have THAT right there?"???? It calls my name....can't really go anywhere in this place now without seeing it and knowing that I MUST JUST DO IT (brilliant slogan, Nike!!)

Anyhoo....whatever works, right???? So, treadmill today AND I just may venture downstairs for a weight workout also!!!! Now that I've had 4, count em, 4 nights of real sleep, I feel like a new person!!!!

Talk to you all later!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Morning! Sorry about the flu bugs going around. I might have to stop dising for fear of catching the flu!

We leave in 3 days. Please keep my family healthy. Please keep my family healthy.

I'm just quickly peaking in here. Have a great day everyone!

 

[UtahMama]

LBelledont go braggin about your sleep! LOL...I am deprived at the moment. GOOD! You just have a fancy "TreadMill Room" at your house!!!! Plus, andything we can do todrive our mother's crazy works for me!

SandyIt took me a second to realize you were at the laundromat! I'm "slow" today!

MelindaAlmonds are a great snack! I feel full from them for a while! I eat a tube of them from the Gas Station. Sometimes I choose string cheese or beef jerkey. South Beach is not a calorie counting diet, lucky for me!

Spongeworthy-Im glad you are feeling better! I dont think you guys will get sick from Norah (Please God,NOT Mayson!!!) because it just started last night, and LUCKILY you didnt go to aerobics to be exposed to her yesterday!

Twinkiewundertwin-already responded to you...just wanted to give you strength!

Since normally you are the wind beneath my wings and all that!

honey!You go girl!!! Come do my laundry (lol!) Good to "see" you!

AriesGo drink some water! I havent started the slosh-fest yet. Still drinking dietPepsi to wake up a little! I need "Jolt" mixed with Red Bull and some of those pain pills I had after my c-sections!

DIS momyou forgot to EAT? I did that the other day...I played catch up quickly though! Are you related to DISunc? Our MIA hunk?

Alaskamom!!!!!Alot of us HATE excercise! Hate it alot. I dont like the getting ready part and taking 3 or 4 kids with me part. Or the very uncoordinated looking clumsy part! You can do it! If anyone can figure out a way to lose or maintain weight without excercise, without having an eating disorder, and have lasting results, let me know! I'll sign up first! I hear Oprah's voice in my head all the time about it, cause she hates it too!
That's what we are here for! To get each other through the tough parts! You can do it!!! Dont give up!

Bonita-Yoplait makes the Boston Cream Pie flavor yogurt and it is very very good! I love their chocolate and key lime flavors too. The are "Jack Sparrow" good! They are "my jeans fit" good! I usually buy them when there's a coupon but will splurge occasionally!



Make it a GREAT, Porductive, Successful, Pre-Thanksgiving day!!!!!!!

 

[Bee]

Twink,

I have been reading your report for several hours now! OMG I am only on page 25.

But, it is keeping me away from food... havent gotten up to get any... So,trip reports are a diet activity!

love all y'all...... mean it.

 

[dismom9761]

I hope everyone and their little ones get better quickly. My SIL has the flu and she feels horrible.

Well,I did it again. TWO days in a row with exercise. I went on a walk that includes three monster hills.I am going to get my treadmill up from the basement soon.It was almost too cold to have my DD2 out today.
LBelle,my treadmill is going to drive my DH nuts but it is going to go in the family room.If he had finished the basement.....

prewalk-banana
B-oatmeal and milk

Monymony,I hope your family stays healthy.The day before my family left for our trip in September I took two of my kids to the Dr. because they were coughing a little.It turns out they were ALOT sicker than I thought and they were both put on breathing treatments and steroids.

WWPD!!

 

[Minnie]

for a quick recovery to all of our sickies ​

I made it through another day on plan

Trying to do my best over these last 2 days on Ph1 cause Ph2 is almost here

I have a Turkey day dinner with DF's parents Wed night where I can't bring anything. Will try to make reasonable choices Holidays are so tough!

 

[aries1980]

Morning Ladies... I started today with a big breakfast 400 cal breakfast. bagel, with egg and cheese. I HAVE TO DRINK MY WATER!!!!!!!! YUCK!!!


MY DIGITAL CAMERA BROKE TOO!!!!! Now I'm deciding between spacer Cyber-shot® DSC-N2 or the Canon sd900? Anyone have input..


I will be posting more recipes today too when Aniella goest to sleep (crosses fingers)

Um- Hope nora feels better the pedylite or even flat soda should work when Aniella had that , her doctor told us to give her either of those. Pedylite also makes frozen freezer pops. Aniella took those better because she though she was geting an ice pop (sneaky).

To everyone else get better if you ill and keep slimmin and WWPD today!!

You have such a way with words, my friend!!! I LOVE THAT!!!!!!!

 

[spongemommie05]

Good afternoon all! how is everyone doing? i am doing good! ate breakfast , lunch and have been really good about eating and i am finding that i am less hungry (i guess 3 meals plus snacks is better than one meal a day) i am excited for thanksgiving. i have a whole different mind set now, gonna eat alot of veggies. (never really ate a whole lot for thanksgiving ,desserts have never been a crutch for me because my family always has fruit pies and i am allergic, my sis is gonna make a sugar free cheescake, keep the recipes coming they are great at least i can make them for my family and they can eat healthy. well housework is calling,, just keep slimmin, just keep slimmin

 

[honeymo78]

Those pedialyte frozen pops are pretty tasty too. My mom bought them for me after I got sick on the way home from disney last Feb. I was out of commission for a week and what an unpleasant plane ride. I hope everyone gets better soon - it's no fun being sick or taking care of someone who is sick.

Breakfast was a multigrain bagel and some preserves. I forgot the cream cheese at home but hopefully I'll remember it for tomorrow. Lunch was a ham and cheese sub at subway. Dinner will probably be grilled cheese and tomato soup. DH wants grilled cheese w/bacon so I'm going to try very hard and limit myself to just a few pieces. I love bacon more than chocolate. I've got lots to do tonight and maybe squeeze in some exercise. If not I'm not too upset since I walked with a friend to Dunkin Donuts this morning (I didn't get anything), walked to subway for lunch and walked to the convenience store for gum this afternoon. I've still got another load of laundry to do and 2 loads to put away, plus I need to pack an overnight bag for the casino so DH can pick me up from work tomorrow and just head right out without going home first.

 

[AlaskaMOM]

UM thanks for the kind words.

I did get up off my tookis after a few more talks with myself and managed 100 minutes on the bike. I LOVE my exercise bike, it says you go so far, and it doesn't feel like a lot of work, as opposed to the TM. Which is work, work that you have to find your groove for, then it does feel like you're working!

Hopefully Norah's feeling a little better, and you're getting in a nap!

Mony- I'm so jealous, 3 days!!! I know I'm going in 19, but I'm ready now! Have you decided on how to tell the kiddos? FUN! FUN! FUN!

aries- no help on the camera, we're looking right now to get one for DD17's 18 bday in 1 1/2 weeks, I don't know which one yet!! Now go drink a nice refreshing glass of ice water!

I'm sending good thought and lots of for everyone to make it thru T'giving.

Let's hope and pray for a healthy holiday season. And for those of you dealing with illness; A Very Speedy Recovery!!!

 

[eeyore45]

aries - ie cameras My mom went thru 2 Kodak easy share cameras. I bought my ds an Olympus that takes AA batteries (and has recharger) he loves it... its 3 years old right now.

I bought dh a Nikon he likes it - he takes "photographs"

ME?? I LOVE MY CANON!! I wouldnt trade it for another brand!! The "a" series in canon means it takes aa bateries the SD series has the charger and like a cell phone battery so the camera is slender er - it fits in the pocket!! I got mine years ago, when the 2mg FIRST came out!! AND dh thinks I take better pictures - the powershot has a "stabilzer" and it helps with the 'point and shoot' that I do!! Mine also has a film feature, I can record 30 seconds of action and sound - but when I upload it to photobucket - its teeny tiny - but mind you its the 2mg!!

Hey, I'll post the link!!!

 

[eeyore45]

well photobucket is down for the moment, so I'll have to try again later!!

 

[eeyore45]

not sure if this link will work...

I forgot I uploaded it wrong, so its really bad img - heavy pixeled, but it will take you to WDW Oct 1 - the start of Dreams come true show!!
