DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Ellester]

Alright, I know the week before Christmas may not be the best time to start back to healthy eating. But, there is no time like the present, right? I need to drop 30# or so. I was in really good shape last January doing WW and hitting the Y fairly frequently. (Had to look good for my stepbrothers wedding, I was the amazon next to his petite Filipino bride and her equally petite Filipino bridesmaids) But, I've let all that hard work go to waste. Nothing like 5 months of DH being unemployed to kick that stress snacking into HIGH gear. Plus I just found out my cholesterol is a tad high and my tryglicerides are sky high. So, can I join this happy group of soon to be skinnier DIS'ers?

Of Course! Welcome!!!!!
I know about the "Unemplyed DH stress eating" deal! Nothing like too much "togetherness" to drive you to snack! Just weigh yourself today and next friday is weigh-day (first thing in the morning *nekkie*and after you pee-pee) Welcome! We all cant wait to get to know you better! It's a wonderful group! Alot of funny gals call it home!

Just have a sec before gong to bed...

No change for me this week. I didn't think I would though thanks to AF.... I am eating well and tryng to stay faithful to regular exercise. I've been really wiped out this week so I haven't done a well as I'd like.

I can't stay awake much longer and I haven't read the posts from the last two days but I'll catch up over the weekend.

Great job to all the skinnies!!

Congrats to all the losers and those who have stayed even.

Got an e-mail at work yesterday for the WW@Work program that starts in mid-January. I think it's a sign.

I may give SB a try, though, to see how it works for me after reading how successful many of you have been on that.

Well just got back from the christmas party! i was so good no junk food for me (okay, we got all dressed up and was walking out the door when a huge snow storm hit so instead of driving 20- 30 miles we opted for a date night instead went to dinner and went to the mall(note; Do not ever wear hooker shoes to the mall) . i had to stop at good ole payless and get some comfortable shoes ,continued on got some killer deals . so i am glad we didn't go to the xmas party (saves on the temptations ) Congrats to all loosers, gainers and stay the samers we are all trying that is all that counts. love to ya all i am hitting the hay take care

UM i will come get my candle warmer tommorow when i see ya (REMEMBER, do not go anywhere i will be there at 11-12 see ya then

Well, I didn't stick to my plan at the party, but tomorrow is another day. I felt like I had a binge coming since I gained when I was being so good. Very logical, right? Like I'm gonna teach my body or the scales a lesson. Now I'm sorry I had that attitude, so I'll try to learn from that: Binge=unproductive behavior.
Anyway, the party was fun- I sang karaoke and danced some Pips-like backup dancing (that's exercise, right?) I have great colleagues, and ended up staying 6 1/2 hours at the party (and that was after a full day working with these people).
My spirits are up now. I'm going to bed and hitting the gym in the morning. You all rock. Let's keep slimmin'!

HAPPY SATURDAY!!!

ALDISNEYGIRL!!!! Sounds like you know Weight Watchers so this is gonna be easy for you. If all you're lacking is the motivation....well....HERE WE ARE! It's all about accountability for me. Check in daily and let us know how you're doing!

ELLESTER!!!! RE: cholesterol....heart disease runs in my family. I start every morning with a bowl of low sugar oatmeal with 2 tsp of flax seed meal. It has 7 gr. of fiber so you can start your day with a full tummy. That's a heart healthy start for someone like me who never ate breakfast before. Glad you're here!

CONGRATULATIONS, LOSERS and LEVELERS!!!

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED! I think we all showed a bigger loss in the beginning since those first few pounds are always water weight and they just fall off with very little effort. Now we are exercising and building muscle so the changes will show in the mirror and not on the scale. (Unless you have a "magic" scale.) We can all get through Christmas as losers or levelers if we stick together!

HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY, EVERYONE!

Just a quick check in. We just finished the all night lock out with my jr high group. It was a blast but I have been up for 26 hours and I need to take a 2 hour nap so we can go help someone move. As far as food - we had Christmas parties at the school all day, then we had a Christmas party before the Lock out and then we stayed up all night with Jr. High kids. Need I say more! However - I avoided most sweets and the one I did get I only took very tiny slices. It's the casseroles and appetizers that get me everytime! But I am being more conscientious thanks to you guys. Okay, good night!

 

[UtahMama]

Spongie? It SNOWED??? Here? Just kidding...It started last night and still is snowing huge doily sized flakes. It's just beautiful! But it'll be a-LOT of work shoveling (for my DH )


Cant wait to do our Mickey Mouse Head Wreath! We'll call it our "Hidden Mickey" wreath. I'll show you my linen closet .

To Everyone- Good Saturday to ya!!!! Shun those neighbor gifts! Ok, dont "shun" them....taste and give the rest to your kids! Let's make a pact to not do more than a "taste" *pinky swear* (works for me!). Those yummy neighbor gifts are VERY tempting!

Morning Peeps

have had one of those mornings where I have to bite tooth and nail to get the kiddies to do their part in cleaning the house, which resulted in a raised voice and blood pressure on my part. and just when i hit the lose control portion of our show, i stopped and thought WWPD. I realized that I am feeling overwhelmed because Christmas is a week away and that means everyone coming to my home christmas morn, including the SIL (not dismom) that is the skinny size 0 and 6 ft tall wearing her hooker shoes that she always wears, who does not work and lives in the big gorgeous CLEAN house coming to my not so clean house. In fact, I not sure what color the carpet is anymore, not cause its dirty but because its just COVERED with Stuff. its hard to keep house when you pass thru long enuff to sleep and shower (which we have no clean towels either)...between parties and basketball practice and work and christmas shopping, there is no time to take care of real business....so my feelings got a little hurt when no one pitched in with a happy attitude today....my wonderwoman attitude has failed me this morning


Whew! Thanks I needed to unload...

SSSOOO what I didn't do was freak out and eat. instead I realized that I was losing control of other situations, explained that they were making me angry and hurting my feelings. Then I stopped and fixed me some eggs, canadian bacon and Apple crystal light and decided to post you guys, my pickeruppercrew

now I realize that by taking baby steps I will somehow get it all done, even if the trash can is overfull on trash day...they have so much stuff they'd prob never miss it anyways, and I am going to try to organize things so that we can actually get back to the carpet! DS's are finally pitching in and Trev cleaned his bath and Matt did the dishes(somewhat) maybe this day will be okay after all...

Thanks Peeps for listening....I am gonna make my 5 lb ribbon next Fri....I need to lose 2 lbs...I can do this, watch out ribbon, here I come!!!

 

[Bee]

UM-

I bought those three Biggest Loser books at Amazon dot com.

Total for 3 books came to 32 dollars I believe... it was a good deal I thought.

They have colored pictures of the dishes,.. looks yummy!!!

You should have borrowed Spongie's hooker shoes for the dancin!

Harleygirl- I feel for you with the skinny SIL with the super clean beautiful house. I have a girlfriend who is exactly the same. I would be up all night cleaning before a play date at my house. She one day confided in me that she she has OCD and that she wishes that she could relax and be more like ME because I seem so happy with my life ! I now have a sign in my laundry room that says "good enought is better then perfect as it lets me enjoy my family". Model homes are only good for pretend families. If your home looks lived in it's because it is full of LOVE !

Harley ~ Sound like you live in my house...with my kids...We're all here together I just can't find you because of the piles of stuff! I went to let the dog out last night. Didn't turn on the light first and tripped over a guitar! (In the middle of the living room floor) Maybe if I yell "Marco" you can shout out "Polo' and we'll find each other in this mess!

Hello ladies. I did pretty good at the preschool party yesterday. Took smaller samples. Actually I was too busy working (putting food out, cleaning up trash, etc.) to eat much. I have a family Christmas party today, so send me your good vibes to be good. I am having toast with spray butter for breakfast this morning. Instead of a pop tart...Hey it's a start. I'll try to check back in the evening or tomorrow, and let you know how it goes.
