DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[dwheatl]

Hey everyone, thanks for the get well wishes. I'm feeling much better today. I dragged myself to an ornament exchange party last night, and came home with the cutest ornament (it's a glass orb with a little snowman and penguin inside. I love penguins!) I ate some junkie stuff but didn't do too badly since my appetite was down. I figured out my WW pts. for yesterday and I had 27 pts, which is within the high end of my range, but considering I was in bed most of the day, it was a little high. Also, lying around and eating junk has led to "big potty" issues (thanks for the wording, UM), so when I got up feeling semi-human, I ate a nice bowl of oatmeal, drank water, decaf and herbal lemon ginger tea, and got on the exercise bike for 30 minutes.
I'm not going to post all the junk I ate yesterday, because I don't want to give anyone ideas.
AlaskaMom-Just one little pound. That could be water retention, or maybe you were just too shy to get nekkie before weigh-in. Keep your goal in sight on vacation, and you may see that pound gone when you get back. It's been known to happen.
Aries-Good for you for hanging in in the midst of chaos. If only we could all keep that beginner's enthusiasm going .
Mony-Hurray for sleeping in, and hurray for working out. It's so nice when your kids notice your fitter self. And remember, you're setting an example for them, too.
HarleyGirl-I always figure running to the bathroom must burn some extra calories, too. Keep up the water.
Melinda & UM & MHL
DisMom- I like your judicious use of chocolate in the face of your unexpected visitor. Denying that craving can lead to going overboard, but giving yourself permission to have a little can keep you on track.
Well, I was gabby wasn't I? I just feel so much better, I felt like I had to do a little for the people above me.

If that is not just the cutest thing I ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes. That kid deserves cookies!

Melinda, he deserves so much. I just love him. He made my whole year. He is my sensitive one.

 

[monymony3471]

So sorry I haven't been posting; so much to do . Make treats for kids to give teachers, get ready for disney TODAY!!!! work, exercise, and wpasadi game takes up so much time!

I did weigh in yesterday (and today) and I'm down 1 pound. Didn't make the vacation goal, shy by 1 little pound, hopefully it won't be more than 1 little pound when we get back!

Have a great weekend!!!

I was thinking of you. Have a great time on vacation. When we went this group was in the back of my mind. I actually came home down 1 pound. I'll take it!

Congrats. You are doing awesome!

Morning Peeps

Trying to get my engine cranked this morning! going to Yoga in a little while...so have a few minutes to catch up and see how everyone is doing. I had a pretty good day yesterday

B-oatmeal
L - turkey samich, baked chips
S - apple w/ pnut butter
D - BROCCOLI!!! Cauliflower, sauteed squash(man this was SOOOO yummy with fake butter and onions mmmmmm) and a small spoonful of alfredo noodles with chicken
Desert - Reeses Christmas tree and 1 choc covered cherry...

I drank my 4 glasses of water/crystal light BEFORE I had a Diet Coke and I exercised for 40 min!! when the chaos hit this evening and I started getting really munchy, I snacked on veggies...helped curb the predinner hungries so I didn't gorge at supper.

I also put a new battery in my Mickey watch, packed my lunch in my WDW slingpack, and took my gym clothes in my WDW tote that I got last Feb AND I drank my water out of my cool "moving" Mickey '06 cup

Hope everyone has a Fab day

Excellent. Well done! Great choices and I love all the accessories. Keep it up! 40 mins. you rock!

[monymony3471]

I was interrupted due to neighbor bringing over their new cute Jack Russell Terrior puppy. He was all white with black ears. Just way too cute. They haven't thought of a name yet.

They just put their black lab down due to cancer and we were all just devestated. I spelled that wrong. Im too lazy to look it up.
Ok, where was I?

dwheatl: It sounds like you are in control and doing very well. Happy you are feeling better.

spongemommie05: Your attitude is also a major contributor to your success! And it's spreading. Thanks.

dismom9761: WWPD! I say it mulitple times a day and it keeps me on task! You can make great choices. Enjoy your parents company, dinner is second to that! There's nothing wrong with sharing what you are doing with family and friends who you spend time with. They might surprise you and make healthier things.

Also when a visitor comes don't sit in the kitchen. Choose a spot where food is out of site. Announce you are getting yourself a bottled water and then ask if they would like one. Can't hurt right?

Everyone is just doing great. I am very proud to be a part of this group. More like blessed. It's the best thing I've stumbled over since the dis itself. Thank you! Gracious! Merci beaucoup!

Oh, did I miss the new weight loss total for the group?

 

[harleygirl]

okay so I did fairly well today - yoga was hard to do and it was cold in the room so my muscles were trying to cramp and tense up and that made the stretches hard to do...but I did em - spent my day wrapping presents and hanging out around the house oh did go to library and got SB diet and Body for Life books to try to get recipe ideas and motivtion(there are pics in the back of Body for Life)
went to WM after dinner at ChickfilA where i had grilled chick sand...(and fries)
and showed my DH the yoga mat and blocks I want for Christmas, and my DS's bought their christmas for each other - now going back to wrapping everything else and listing everything so I don't duplicate or leave anyone out...

If I workout for 30 min tomorrow I will have worked out for 250 min this week...YAY me

Sponge I was looking at one of those waist trimmers tonight - good to know they do work!

Dweatl glad to hear you feel better!

nsalz are you with us? how is DH?

Mony thanks for all your positive posts today!! your the best!


to everyone else!

 

[UtahMama]

Wanna hear what I did today?

It was FABULOUS.

I took a N-A-P!!!!!!

It was HEAVEN! DH took "care" of my kids (well I guess they're "our" kids, but they were birthed by ME so they're MINE) whilest I slept in "heavenly peace" like an angel! Or a lamb! I get chills just thinking of that bliss!

We went to Cabela's (redneck Disneyland!) ,it's a majorly huge sporting goods store, and got some cinnamon almonds freshly made! I did ask myself WWPD, but the little fat devil sitting on my other shoulder said..."Taste em!" and so I did and they were beyond delicious! I ended up having a few more than a regulation "taste" but they were too sweet after a bunch!

Meh! I'll do a grundle of extra sit ups to ease your minds. They were worth it I tell you what! Then we went to the little diner at Cabelas and I just had a bowl of meaty chili and then we went to go see the very best Santa ever. He sat in front of the stuffed real animals with, I kid you not, a lion posed making it's kill on a giant gazelle looking creature! It's in the background of my kids' Santa pictures!!!! I LOVE the red-nekkedness of THAT!

You guys HAVE to see the pics. I'll have my tech team post em tomarrow or whenever he can fit me in to his busy schedule.

Other than the almonds and a bite of a cinnamon roll, I did fabulously today!


I cut my boys hair SUPER short, and they HATEd it. Now they are warming up to their new "looks". They are just too honest for their own goods.

Good night skinny minnies!!! YOU look Mahvelous!!!!!!!

Hi UM. That light-up sparkly tail Ariel you were talking about was in the news today. The teenage brother of a little girl who got one for her birthday figured out that if he pushed the talking button four times in a row really fast, it would say, "You're a ....." Rhymes with nut and means a girl of low moral values. The article said they aren't sure if it's an anomaly, or if all the dolls can do that, but I thought you might like a heads-up so you can warn your boys there'll be heck to pay if they mess with Ariel's button (or if you're like me, you'll take the doll to a secluded spot with your DH and see what you can make her say, then giggle like a schoolgirl).
Here's a link to the story (set right here in my hometown) http://wdwinfo.com/news/article_00798.htm

I'm so immature, I couldn't stop laughing at the "tail hole" on the Build-a-Bear pants.

 

[UtahMama]

Danielle! THAT is so Funnay! I'll, of course, take it in private seclusion and push Ariel's buttons and get her to talk naughty to me! Norah is SO into Ariel It's like when the movie came out in like 89-90 ish (cant remember) ALL the girls were into Ariel. She doesnt know it's old. She even prefers Ariel to Cinderella.

Unfortunately, the publicity of the Ariel button is going to make it a big hairy deal.

Back to the diet- I've been awake 30 minutes and so far, so good!

 

[honeymo78]

The mystery scale has struck again. For some reason it always like to show fewer pounds the day AFTER weigh in. Lets just hope the loss sticks around. I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm eating enough too. Dh and I work late a few nights a week and we kind of just scrounge around for dinner when that happens. Is one bowl of chicken rice soup really enough for dinner? Probably not. I mean its not like I'm starving myself but I also wonder if I really should still be saying no to another helping or no to an afternoon snack if I'm not going to eat much for dinner. Right now my tummy is rumbling even though I had 2 eggs for breakfast and a Luna Bar (180 cals)about 20 min ago (DH got a bunch free at work and gave me some to try). Maybe I'll go get something if I'm still hungry in another 20 min and then just save some of it for dinner. I'm at work again today and I'm staying late cause DH has a meeting until 8pm so lunch and dinner will be eaten at my desk. Oh and sorry for not popping in more but I've got some deadlines coming up at work and I feel like I'm going nuts trying to get it all done.

 

[spongemommie05]

Good morning all just wanted to say Hello and how is everyone doing today?
Good here, i am doing good my kids all had a doughnut for breakfast and i had half of one and my water ,pepsi, water, Hey UM! i am gonna try to go to church today (no one is sick at my house so i have no excuse) i will post my kids haircut pictures before tonight, lil mayson decided he was gonna sleep all night till about 11:30 pm, but by that time all the other kids were asleep. i will get them all snazzed out for church than snap there photo take care all and see ya a lil later.


UM way to go on the NNNNNNAAAAPPPPP

 

[monymony3471]

Good Sunday everyone. Hope everyone is hanging in there.

My tread mill is becoming my new best friend. Another 45 mins today. Then I steamed clean the carpet in the basement. I do that about once a month. Those day care kids can really wreck a place. Just kidding. It just gets soiled easily due to all the kiddies.

We are planning on taking mal, and if the boys want to also, to see Santa later. She's very excited for christmas. She gets it this year and she tells me all the time Santa's coming and he's gonna leave her presents.
This should be a real fun christmas. DS8 is still into it, DS10 is straddling the fence, so this should be the one where they all still feel it. I hope.


I need to get out of the house, so we'll go to the mall later. I just look at it as more exercise.

I'll check back later.

UM: those nuts shouldn't have been too bad. It was half healthy right? It could have been worse ya know. I think it was a good choice.

Honeymo: Maybe you should watch calories if you think you aren't eating enough. That way you'll know.

harley: If you want any recipes, I still get the SB emails and I will post what ever comes my way.

 

[BONITATIME]

Hi everyone,
I got back last night / well about 3 am this morning. I have only put on 2 pounds which is ok as we ate and ate.. The food in DLRP is very good. It was cold and wet but the xmas season was really beautiful. I will be starting my eating plan tomorrow morning. I had planned to start today but tiredness and diets are bad together.
I hope to be back to last weeks weight by weigh-in day on friday.

 

[dismom9761]

Bonita, I am glad you had a good time and hope you have an easy time getting back on the diet.

monymony,I know what you mean about the treadmill..I sure miss mine.My BIL said he can fix it so we will see.

Honeymo,I was worried I wasn't eating enough so I kept track of my calories for a few days and I was only eating about 1000 cal a day.Maybe you should count for a few days.

spongemommie,waiting for that picture....

UM,hope the rest of your day went as well as the first thirty minutes.

My day went really well.I actually got some "mommy" time while DH had the kids at home and I shopped. I also went to the gym and did 40 minutes on the elliptical .
B-yogurt
L-jr cheeseburger and small chili from wendys(I ate only half of the chili)
D-hamburger helper(about 3/4 cup) and green beans
S-chocolate cupcake(made with diet coke,80 cal)
Is anyone else getting full alot faster now?Well this week my goals are :
1.NOT eat after 8:00
2.eat at least one vegetable that I don't usually eat(that is anything other than peas,green beans,corn,and mac n cheese)
3.exercise at least 4 times

Everyone Keep on slimmin'.....

 

[honeymo78]

I had been counting for a few weeks and thought I had it under control but apparently with Dh's new schedule dinner just hasn't been as substantial as it used to be. I guess I need to get back to it and see what I come up with.

I have a terrible headache and staring at this screen isn't helping. I wish I had more work to do that didn't involve the computer but unfortunately that's all I've got left so if I'm a little cranky please forgive me.

 

[spongemommie05]

Hello all !
Here is the picture of my kids haircuts we did not end up going to church because every one fell asleep, oh well !there is always next sunday
Utahmama does a great job,, they look cuter when it is all spiked up in the front , they all look more grown up now
Hey UM i just drove by your house we were looking at lights i don't think you were home but they look good, love ya see ya tommorow at aerobics right?

[monymony3471]

Love, love, love, love, love the picture!

One love for each babe.

Thanks!!!!!!

For sharing.

I'll try.

To keep slimmin.

 

[UtahMama]

Aren't they CUTE?

The leetle one got like 4 inches mowed off. MY two boys now are sporting matching haicuts. Dallen the 8 year old keeps his new soft wool cap on! My 6 year old is Riley and he loves his haircut.
My kids are quirky.

UG! I ate Top Ramaan today for lunch and a slice of cheese pizza for dinner. Probably not the BEST choices for my new low/good carb lifestyle

DONT worry peeps, I wont let you down!
Do you all think that 1 pound a week is a doable goal??? That came to me last night in the middle of the night. I love those pre-dawn revelations!

My grocery choices are looking dismal. But joy of joys! I have EGGS!
