DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[honeymo78]

Poohbear thanks for the tip about the applesauce. I’m going to have to try that.

Food on Monday was great. I actually had a lower cal day and I didn’t feel starved. Yesterday I stayed on track even though I had a cheesesteak for lunch. I just made sure to have a small dinner and honestly I wasn’t that hungry. I did fail on water yesterday. I only spent a few hours at work, where it’s easiest to get water in. DH is moving to a store a few blocks from where I work and yesterday was a test run for him using the train. He grew up a in a really small town so the whole concept of public transportation in a major city is a bit foreign to him. I hung out with him at his new store for a little while he got to know some of his coworkers then instead of coming back to work, I just went back home with him on the train. We were on the go the whole afternoon so I didn’t get to drink my water. But today I’m back on track with it. I’ve probably already gotten in all the water I need for the day but I’ll keep going.

I can’t seem to find my free weights so I haven’t been doing that yet this week. If I can’t find them in the enxt few days I’ll go to the store and pick up a new set.

Back to work, it’s almost lunch time.

Oh and I’m still here – sometimes its just hard for me to post from work. I’m supposed to be working, not playing on the disboards

Kat - I'm not sharing that info with DH either. He'd definitely want to go overboard with that one.

Followed the link from UTM's great trip report and what did I find? Just what I needed. I am in the "funk." You know the one. You started out on a high and daydreamed about when your thighs are as skinny as your sister (and she's not even appreciative!) and all will be right in your world, because as we all know, a perfect size ____ (fill in the blank yourself) will make everything else fall into place. And you're on a roll, eating the right things, exercising...and at some point you just get tired. That is where I am. I started working out a Curves last month. Today, I had my one month weight and measurement report. I lost a pound. (Big crap, right) But I did lose 2% of my total body fat. Which I suppose is a little exciting. But, back to the funk, I am talking myself into being bored at Curves and justifing stopping my contract. But, I did lose some body fat, if I got serious, really serious, maybe I could have everything I ever wanted!

I am totally watching Oprah today, I love shows about losing weight. Biggest Loser is on tonight too. My bf always is pumped after watching that.

So, anyway, please include me in your club.

Goals: (eventually 30 lb weight loss) (then 15 more)
1. Water. (This is so hard for me. My blatter is the size of a pea. But, nonetheless, something to work on.)
2. Not over eating.
3. Excersing hard. Not like all the "oldies" working out who are just there for social time.

Thanks
DWD

Yup. The Funk. Know of it well!

Curves works! The diet they have is great! I know a trainer that works for a local one. She tells me of the ladies who stick with it, do awesome! The "oldies" sound like a hoot! Poor things! At least they "go", technically!

I have only ate a Yoplait Boston Creme yougurt today. It was gooood! I am very nauscious. This morning a little guy I tend had diarrea so bad, it has made me sick! OR, coincidentally, I am sick too. I feel "green". I'm going to try a piece of toast to see if that helps.

YOU can do it!!!!! So glad you're here!

I hope you get to feeling better. Maybe it is just the broccoli punishment from last night.I know if I ate broccoli I would feel sick.

I am going to join a gym tonight and I hope i don't feel totally overwhelmed there.I did talk my friend into joining with me so I think that will help.Baby steps...

Oh and WELCOME DisneyworldDelight.I wanted to join Curves but I have to go somewhere that they have childcare.

 

[BONITATIME]

We had chinese tonight so I was not very good but I didn't overeat and had eaten very little all day to compensate. I was going to weigh in a day early but i will need to see what I weigh in the morning.
i drank all my water. It has taken me 10 days to calculate these ounces into metric but I need to drink 8 glasses I calculate. ( would that be right?)
I will put it in my Disney glass and it will taste better.

At least I didnt have to eat Broccoli. LOL

 

[honeymo78]

Bonita - I drink my water from my refillable mug from the Contemporary. Whatever helps us get through.

UM - I hope you feel better

Amy - let us know how joining the gym goes. Its great that your friend is joining with you.

I got in my walk this afternoon. Now I just can't wait to see some results in the clothing fit category. Dinner will probably be hamburger helper - not super healthy but its fine if I eat normal person servings and not half the box.

 

[eeyore45]

I watched Oprah today!!

and I have gotten rid of all the bad foods, and I dont buy ice cream, or chocolate - I buy stuff I dont like for dd (gummy yogos, Lil Deb snacks - only the ones I dont like!!)

* Switch to Dk Chocolate and have a lil bit (this tip has been posted here!! Wasnt it a Dove Dk Chocolate 45 calories?)

* Eat Salad Last!! (we totally do this, because the vinegar in the salad dressing can mess with your pallette - but for Dr. Oz it was a whole different reason!!)

* 100% whole wheat or 100% Whole Grain bread.

*T o loose you must do some weight lifting/strength training - it helps build those core muscles.

* Oprah.com he is going to put up video for an at home easy program that is free and simple!!

and my favorite QUOTE from the show....

you must just be acting to be movtivated... well, its what I wrote!! I think what I heard was no one is motivated to exercise or diet, but you must at least pretend, or "act like your motivated"...

anyone else take notes?? off to oprah.com.... (I registered there but I always forget my usernames and passwords!!)

 

[eeyore45]

No gyms, no expensive equipment and no excuses! Take 20 minutes out of your day to try Dr. Oz's gym-free workout. Start with the beginner exercises and work your way up to the advanced version. Complete this workout three times per week—along with your daily walk—to improve your strength, flexibility and cardio fitness.

http://www2.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200611/tows_past_20061102_b.jhtml

well I couldnt get the 20 min video to play, but I did go to the suggested website to get the list of exercises reccommended!!

its work!!

 

[UtahMama]

I believe in the power of prayer and I have the stomach bug in a BIG way! Nothing stayed down today. I felt queasy but now it is "ON". I have one more hour to babysit this one last 2 year old. My 8 yr. old just made her cereal. Both my 8 and 6 yr. olds have pitched in to help mama! I love them. Norah is even being good. Ick, I'm dry heaving. NEED to be well!
Thanks for listening!

I'm going to bed as soon as this little one is picked up.

Love you guys!!!!

 

[eeyore45]

What is up with these BUGS?!

enough BE GONE Prayers and pixie dust Utahmom!!


nothing worse than having to be in charge of little ones when you are so incapacitated!!!

(and I had no idea germs were transmitted by the internet!!)

PS Thanks for the prayers for my friend, she is out of surgery, and in recovery room right now!

Feel better UM!!! Maybe your with child Um... Last time I dieted is when I got pregnant with DD. Well get some rest and remember drink fluids!

 

[aries1980]

I did really good today so im finishing my water and here are some shameless plugs of my photosession with DD today for her 2nd birthday!!

Good night Ladies. Love ya all keep slimming

 

[harleygirl]

evening folks - just checking in....I was SOOOO hungry all day long, had decent meals, but a light lunch left me way to hungry to have a strenuous workout...still I went and did my good thing...I did pretty well on the water intake today as well,( I do have to put crystal light in it tho' sometimes) I think that 1. my body is just not used to having restricted cals. and 2. today I just needed more food......

I am trying to talk myself into resuming a habit I had made with my boys a few months ago, we all get in the floor and do situps and pushups together and we add 5 more every night...we all usually get tickled which makes it go faster, not to mention helps the boys build strength as well as healthy habits...we are all trying to make better choices, and work our way to better health

Kat I am really digging your info! but confused, by "red peppers" do you mean hot peppers or red bell peppers?

thats very - ahem- interesting about the "appetite curbing activity" maybe I could sub that for my late night icecream craving

good job on everyone who had a good day, for those of us still hanging on by a thread, just keep hanging on...sometimes it is so easy for me to say, "I have been bad so far so I might as well eat what I want fot the rest of the day"...I think the trick is to stop the bad behavior as soon as I can and be good the rest of the day, instead of "starting over tomorrow" start over today...does that make sense?

UM hope you feel better...dismom good job going to the gym!!! I just know you will love it...disney - i just ended a yr long contract with Curves in Oct and went to a more traditional gym...reason for change, after a yr I was bored, and needed a greater challenge...I push myself harder at my new gym...dont know why, but I do

have a great evening!

 

[dismom9761]

Aries1980,your little girl is beautiful!My DD2 is having her Christmas picture taken on Friday and I hope she cooperates as well.

UM,I pray that you have a short virus and feel better quickly.

Harleygirl,way to go on working out even when you did not feel 100%.Now you know what to do differently next time.

eeyore,thanks for the tips from Oprah.I really wanted to see that.

Everyone else-Keep on Slimmin'!

Okay I did go to the gym and it was great! I did not feel intimidated at all and walked on the elliptical for thirty three minutes.The gym also has a room that has circuit training alot like what Curves offers.I am hoping that this place gives me the boost that I need to keepon exercising.

Goodnight!!

Wow A disney glass...great idea. I think from now on I'll use a resort mug for my water! That will remind me that I want to be more comfy in my clothes at Disney! I think that will be a terrific inspiration for me! * glasses sounds right!

By the way...I love broccoli!

So, anyway, please include me in your club.

1. Water. (This is so hard for me. My blatter is the size of a pea. But, nonetheless, something to work on.)
2. Not over eating.
3. Excersing hard. Not like all the "oldies" working out who are just there for social time.

Thanks

glad you joined! Soon we'll stop looking like this and start looking like this

WOW! Great pictures!

Hey all. I learned a lesson today (which means I screwed up). One of the other teachers brought me a pumpkin latte from Starbuck's, and I thought, "It's a tall, no whip; how bad could it be?" I drank it, and when I got home I looked it up. 280 calories! Oh, well. I skipped the Oreos dunkers for recess, came home and cooked brown rice to go with the roasted chicken a student gave me today (I guess I'm just too loveable ). I had a salad with light cilantro dressing (yummy, 25 cals a TB). I thought about not having dinner at all, but I know where that will get me. So better to go over on the points (I'm tracking WW style) a little than leave myself wide open for a binge.

HarleyGirl, is the reason you work harder at the new gym because there are people worth "sucking it in" for? I'm happy with DH, but working out at a coed gym makes me work a little harder and it cuts down on the boredom quotient. Sometimes it's just funny to watch the flirtation scene. BTW, the secret green club is a thread on the CB of quirky, fun people who love to DIS and tease each other. It's open to all, so anyone here who wants to drop in, feel free.
Pooh Bear, thanks for the applesauce tip. I may try that, because I'm a toal ice cream junkie.
TinkaBella, stringing up your lights is totally exercise. And around here, we find them very romantic, and that can lead to more "exercise".
DWDelight, funny about the oldies. At my gym, I once saw a lady on an exercise bike going about 1/20 of a mile an hour, eating Doritos.
Eeyore, I had my salad last tonight. I feel so with it.
UM, you're in my prayers. Feel better soon. Don't forget BRAT. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. And little sips of water when you can.
Everybody, keep up the good work!
