DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[PrincessV]

Hello all, and Merry belated Christmas! Sounds like everyone one had a pretty good weekend. Bee, if it's any consolation, my mother drives me nuts AND she lives with me!

UMama, congrats on your new DYSON!
Guess what I found next to my tree?! A Purple Dyson! I was feeling guilty about accepting it from my mom, but then I remembered just how much the recent WDW trip *I* paid for cost and decided I deserved a sucky present

Well, I definitely didn't exercise over the weekend, but that's because I was too sick to do more than stay horizontal most of the time! But a nasty chest cold was just the thing to eliminate my appetite, so I'm hoping for a drop in weight this week. I keep thinking of the line in The Devil Wears Prada: "I'm just one stomache flu away form my target weight!"

Ok then! I just got a PM from a long lost PEEP named "sorul82?" aka "S'late" (my nick name stuck, hee hee) and I'm trying to get her carcass over here to play with us...YOU guys will absosmurfly lof her! I met her in real life in WDW on Sept. 14th and she is one of my oldest DIS friends (note, I've only been a non-lurker since July!!! I gits around!) SO!!!! I'm sending out an SOS (since my replying PM wont work %$@#*&!!!!) if you guys "see" her around the DIS, send her to WISH!!!!

She is "One Honey of an O" (which doesn't make sense, but it sounded funny, so I'll keep in there)


Love Ya all!

OH, fat free shredded cheese does NOT make good nachos, FYI!

Hello Peepers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! I have not had a chance to read over the posts, but hopefully will get a chance after work tonight Just wanted to check in quickly.

I did fairly well this holiday. Especially since I had to "eat" at 4 different places. The only thing I do not like about the holidays is the fact that I have to rush to so many different places in one day . I felt like this all day Monday

Anyways... Love to all! I will check back later.

Dawn

[Tiger Lily 03]

Tiger Lily, you should come play with us more often!
We're wasting away to practically nothing! (My favorite Ursula line)

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the invite! I'll try but won't be til after the New Year probably after WDW Marathon. I'm stressing over trying to get my walking up to get through that weekend.

Keep up the great work everyone!

 

[harleygirl]

can you hear me laughing or maybe its groaning - dismom hinted that we should seta goal to walk in the marathon or half marathon at Disney next yr...uh i dunno if my feet can handle it seein as how I cant walk most evenins; now..have a pesky little prob called plantar fasciitis...which is a fancy word for tendonitis in my feet so when I get up in the mornin I look lie an ole drunk lady bouncing off walls until those tendons loosen up and I can put my full weight on my feets...(which is alot of weight lemetellya) BUT hhhmmmmm a trip to Disney might be a good goal AND I am sure we'd get a fancy shmancy tshirt that Noone else would have AND we'd be able to hook up with some fellow Disers...so I'm thinkin if the 5K in Feb (charity thing we're doing) goes well then we'll see on the other...

I suck at dietin let me just say...tomorrow will be better, I will be better prepared...thats all I have to say about that

 

[mousehouselover]

Just have time for a quick "hi" tonight. I HAVE to get on the TM tonight. It's been a week since I did anything that resembled exercise and I know I'm paying for it. I also want to make my goal for the month.

I had another ok day today. I ran out without breakfast, had a liter of water and lunch was a fiasco. I fell victim to the last of the goodies at work. I had 4treats and sort of redeemed myself with the little snack-type cracker sticks and a half cup of grape tomatoes. Dinner was a fried chicken salad and a fruit and frozen yogurt shake from Steak and Shake. The shake was really good but I don't know if the yogurt was low fat or not, I'm betting on not....

I'm in the middle of baking banana bread. I woound up with enough bananas for 18 batches!! There's going to be so much bread I'm going to be giving it away. It sure smells yummy though. I'm thinking of playing around with it a bit and trying to use a bit of whole wheat flout in some of it.

Hope every one has a good night and a great day tomorrow,
MHL

 

[UtahMama]

banana bread is kind of a fruit, isnt it? I made it once with Splenda and it was wayyyyy too sweet.

I have just yelled at my kids to clean their room one too many times today and I am exausted. They couldn't possilbly do it when I asked nicely, right? Ugh! So now they're watching some show called "Avatar" and I just devoured a peanut butter and jelly sandwich which mad me feel even worse since it was a pretty good day, food wise.

Anyway, I think I'll go write in my journal and curl up with a nice Janet Evanovich novel (Motor Mouth) and call it a day. Sadly this mood could have been lifted somewhat with a big ol' diet Pepsi...which I can quit anytime I'm overtired and hate messy rooms. Deadly combination.

That plus I had a very hard time trying to PM people back today with the glitches in the new system (I have no idea what the problem was, but I could do some, not all).

Good Night darling Peeps! Thanks for listening! I'm having a two for one special on little boys!

Aries: do you have a carrying case for your Cricut? There's 3 to choose from on the ProvoCraft website. I'm just wanting the cheapest one, but I dont know! I like the "opposites" font cartridridge. Do the blades last a while? I told my SIL to come use my Cricut, but do the blades go dull quickly?

I dont have a carry case yet I am just using a generic small rolling tote. I love most of the fonts too. There is a whole new set of them out I got zooball out of the new ones that came out. The blades dont get dull quickly has long as your using them right, meaning using the right depths for the paper = cardstock deeper depth then a vellum sheet that would be shorter depth. The cutting mats I think go the fastest but I'm still on my first one and its been used a dozen time already. I wanna find a wholesaler on them to get a case of mats if I find a good one, I have two other people who wanna go in on it if you like to join that I'll get the info when I figure it out. I hope that helps

 

[aries1980]

Thank you all for the .

I could write a book or go to counseling.. but, then I would never be able to afford Disney .

I love my mom.. but have always felt inferior to my brother.. yada, yada, yada!
I am the fattest I have ever been,.. And, at this point I am gonna concentrate on my dieting starting next week.. But, I have some issues.. if your own mother doesnt like you.. how can anyone else??

You all are terrific.. I LOVE YOU All!!!!!!

Send you out some Lovin... Keep on hanging and of course slimming

 

[Poohbear77]

Ok finally caught up.

Bee- Love you. You're mother sounds completely like mine. Nothing is ever good enough for her when it comes to me. It is one of those things where you don't know what you ever did to her, but she holds resentment for something, I don't know..
This Christmas it was "Did you see what Alisa(sister in law) made me, Wow she is so crafty" then she opens my gifts " Oh, this is nice"( in monotone voice). Little digs like this throughout the year. My husband says that I should just stop trying to please her, but he doesn't understand, I always will crave her acceptance even if it is only a little. We have to realize the problem is not with us, it is with them. But, I tell you one thing, my daughters will NEVER feel that way. So just think about your relationshiip with your daughters, and how good of a mother you are to them. That is the best "therapy" there is.

UM- I am so jealous. I want a Dyson. Maybe I can hint hint for my b-day. Hey hunny......

Haley- congrats on the new appliances and floor. Your hubby must luuuvvv you very much. Hope you gave him a big smootch a roo.

This Christmas I recieved lots of perfume(like 5 different kinds) does that mean I stink!! I also recieved a sewing machine from mother in law. I have NO CLUE how to use this thing. I tried to this morning and messed it up already Also recieved afew jamies sets. My dear hubby also gave me perfume which he picked out all by himself ( Live by J-Lo) it smells really good. He also got me a necklace and the bestest gift ever, Bon Jovi Slippery when Wet CD. You just do not know how much I love Bon Jovi. If I had a freebie he would definitely be the one I have his newer Cd's but this one is back from the early 80's. I have the cassette that I have had since I was a kid which I am still refusing to get rid of(sentimental) much to husbands dismay. I lubby my hubby!!

I am dreading Friday's weigh in Can't we just skip this one. I know I probably gained back a few pounds. Hey, if I did does that mean i have to take off my 10 pound ribbon

Good night dear peeps

Dawn

 

[Poohbear77]

Hey, Just realized my 10 pound ribbon seems to have taken itself off!!!

It must know something already

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!!! (insert sunny who is still MIA)

I want a purple Dyson! I want a purple Dyson NOW! (said in my best Veruca Salt voice.) I guess I can't complain as DH has already approved the purchase order on a new frig. A girl can still hope can't she?

This week is a wash for me....
Too many parties and too many snacks still lingering from Christmas. I will let you all know how much I need to lose AGAIN when I weigh in tomorrow. Back on track next week.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I make this in a really weird way, to add flavor I boil 1 & 3/4 cups water with 1/4 cup organic lemon juie, then I stir in 2 Great Value (cheepie walmart brand) SF jello, and instead of cold water I add 2 cups of Diet cherry coke (Oh the horrors, I know it's coke, but it's diet that counts for something right) H20 2 cups of jello 20 calories
Snack: 100 calorie mini bag popcorn H20
Exercise: 30 min on stationary bike @ 19-20mph ouch 466 calories burned
Dinner: Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu baked (don't judge ) H20

Morning.

I need a Muligan on last week. I am so feeling the ill effects of non healthy foods.

I am trying to get myself back on track.

I will get back on the TM. Tonight. That's all I need, and the rest should fall into place.

Will someone please shove me on that thing after 6pm?

Thanks!

 

[eeyore45]

Bee I have the exact same problem with my mom. I wont bore, or bring the others down, I.... hear you! and now we've been "summoned" to a wedding! Memorial Day weekend.

I'm still taking one day at a time. I've been so blessed, its hard to go through tough times, but its a lot easier when you look around - I have the bestest dh, and ds' and dd!!! They did completely spoil me!

Is a Muligan the same as a "Do Over"? I want a do-over AND an Easy Button!

I am going to diet like it's my first day today!!!!!

Thus far, I had a candy bar! No..... it was a Slim Fast Optima- Caramel Crispy Peanut. Those are sooooo good! And they're huge too. I hate when you open any food and it's smaller than you wanted. It's a meal- replacement bar with 220 cals / 8 gr. protein but it could be a snack if you did a salad for a meal??

I need to get back into it! So funny, I start my day so motivated and gung-HO but then "life happens" and I resort to food instead of dealing with it. Like yesterday with my boys not listening to me. They heard me but chose to push my buttons bynot listening to me. I start out nice and it escalates to rage. Rage works better than Nice sometimes. I had a nice long talk (I talked, they listened with glazed over eyes) on the fine line between Nice and Rage.


Mony- You have an appointment with your Tread Mill tonight at 6:15. 24 hour notice is required to cancel... How's That?


Have a Skinny Minnie Day, Y'all!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

UM Do they ever listen without the glazed over eyes?!? I don't know how many times through the years I escalated to Rage because the kids weren't listening! I never liked getting there, but they do push, don't they?!? And I'm with you...I want an Easy Button!

I may have stayed the same this week after all. The scale was rather friendly this morning, so we'll see what happens at tomorrows WI.

I really should be working, not DISing, so I'll come back later.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Just realized they "fixed" the colors on the Holiday setting! Things aren't white anymore and are legible!! YAY!!
