DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Mumbler]

Checking in this morning, didn't do so well last night...my big excuse is I just found out how much my escrow payment will increase due to the fact that not only did my taxes increase but my insurance almost doubled . The price you pay to live so close to the mousehouse!
So I hit the Baileys Irish Cream...and the thing is I really didn't feel any better, just guilty...oh well, today is a new day, onward and upwards!

Spongie - that is hilarious that you actually vacuumed your daughter's hair! Hope she's okay and not too freaked out by the vacuum!

Kat - Sorry to hear about your little guy, although I'm sure it hurt like the dickens it probably bothers you more than him. My DH would say it's the ticket to manhood or some rubbish like that, you know, chicks dig scars!

Good Morning to all Have a fabulous day!

Hi friends, Call me the newest member in this league that came here to ask for some advice about her child. May be you all are familiar with this problem. I have a three year old that is forever throwing herself on the ground wherever we are - yelling and screaming because she can't have her way. I don’t know why he doing this when we all love him so much. Please give me some suggestion that how can I manage my child.

Glad to help!

First of all I notice it's your first post so Welcome!

I am a big watcher of Supernanny she would say dont reward that behavior...consistently dont give in no matter how hard. I put Norah (DD2) in her crib to cry when she's like that I say nothing at all just put her in turn around without any feedback and walk out and close the door. She screams of course but the second she stops even to catch her breath, I go in and reward her! I have 3 two year olds at my house and this works for 2 out of 3 (the 3rd one, I'm afraid, has special needs) This is very easy to do when you've had 4 or 5 kids...if it's an only child, it's more heartbreaking!

Post that same question in the Disney for Families thread or in the regular Community Board and see what responses you get.

Good Luck! We've ALL been there!

GoOoOod Morning!!!!

I did fabulously all day yesterday then...

at night, late, I caved and ate oatmeal with craisins in it. I felt soooo much better after that. I'm always so hungry at night, so I think the answer to my dilema is to have a protein packed late dinner. Protein keeps me fuller for wayyyy longer than carbs, so I'll test this tonight!

My scale is a lying beach! I hate the fluxuations! More water to flush the retained water!!!!!!!

I do feel great and am starting to see the difference (in my chest, thanks alot... NOT my bum!!!!)

edited to add: I put my grimey toliet seat in the dishwasher and ruined it...but there is one at Lowe's that you just unhook from the toliet and put in the dishwasher to sanitize, so I'm off to Lowes! On the upside, my boys have no seat to pee on today!!!!

 

[Minnie]

Slinking back in......

I have been unbelievably bad ever since I left for my trip to Lido Beach. I'm so embarassed about what I've ate I can't even type it here

Remember those loose jeans? Well they are gone away and the "sausage feeling" is back

I'm starting back today though finally!

B - Diet Dew & yogurt
S - Kashi Bar
L - Salad or soup
S - Yogurt
D - Turkey roast
D - SF fudge bar
E - 30 minutes dreadmill

Hope everyone is having an OP day

Good morning!

Ok I just had a huge breakie of raisin bran (and then some honeycomb cereal stolen from DS1)... I am feeling blah too so I am off to take my own advice and burn some calories and blah-feelings!

My scale hasn't budged at ALL. Wah. I know I should take it up at notch but I just don't want to.... (whine whine.... to bad I am only eating fat free cream cheese)



My DD4 (Twinkerbell) picked out these smilies! We will be back later to check on you skinnie minnies!

 

[PrincessV]

Morning all! Thank you eveyrone for your warm welcomes What a great place this is!

Sounds like yesterday was universally icky. I feel for you guys! No major issues in my life, but it was just a down day for me, too. Monica, I'm totally with you on Post Disney Depression. I can't stop thinking about our trip!

Well, I came very, very close to sucking down a Mickey rice-crsipie treat last night, but the thought of having to admit to you that I succombed on my first day stopped me in my tracks. Thanks guys!
I did get on the treadmill last night... and my knee started hurting within 6 minutes. WHY can't I find a pair of running shoes that doesn't make a body part hurt? But I didn't quit - just pulled on my ancient runners that have no support, but don't inflict pain, and kept at it for a full 20 It's not much, but it's a start.

Here's hoping for a better day today for us all!

P.S. You mean oatmeal raisin cookies aren't healthy??!!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Just finished my "dance party" with my twin DDs (almost 5) and DS (19 mo) and while we were dancing like crazy people and doing some crunches and push-ups my little Twinkerbell says "Mommy I am going to stop eating chocolate and marshmellows and popsicles. I am going to be healthy. I am going to eat yucky stuff like you. And even if I don't like it, I will eat it."

So there you have it... out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom!

What is so funny is that she is my pickiest eater out of the whole gang!

 

[KatInHat]

Good morning everyone. Thanks for all of the yesterday, I really needed them. Today is off to a much better start. Justin (DS3) is fine. You wouldn't even know anything happened to him.

As for the house, it was just emotional being back there going through all of the stuff we collected over the 11 years that we lived there. It brought back alot of memories and was hard to see our house and things like that. Just thrown out for trash. However, we didn't lose anything that couldn't be replaced, when it comes down do it .. it's all just stuff. We are, in some ways, better off than before the storm. We are in a better place to raise our kids.

Ok, no more gloom I promise (thanks for listening).

I have been good this morning. I had a bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast and I promise to drink my water today and do some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes.

Harleygirl - Great job with giving up the diet soda, you must have some will power.

Melinda - How did the breakfast go?.. I was thinkin' bout ya.

twinkie I hope you feel better after dancing the blah's away. That is too funny about your DD.

I'll check back later. My DS is chanting "GET OFF PUTA" I guess he needs some attention.. Poor baby.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Bat WINGS!!!!!! I have those!!!!!

ok, Oatmeal raisin cookies are like 2 or 3 food groups!!! Could be worse!
Sheez, I could justify any junk food! (It's pink? Well SO are berries!)

Bat Wings?!? We call them "Bye-Bye Arms" because when you wave goodbye, they keep waving after you've stopped!

And I agree...oatmeal cookies should be considered a healthy food...they're made with OATMEAL!!! Isn't that healthy?!?

I did great yesterday until I got home from work and ate cheese ravioli's, 1 piece of texas toast and LOTS of chrusciki. (crew-shi-ki). This is a polish pastry coated in powdered sugar and each piece is very light. However, they are not at all good for you! I will do better today!

 

[aries1980]

Gosh Ladies I miss being able to talk to you guys all day long... I cant wait tilll this move is over!!! Sunday we should be all done.... Anyways Miss you all and hope everyone is drinking water and exercising keep on slimming...

And here is a recipe for all of you...

I made Chicken Salad fast for lunch


One skinless chicken cutlet (put on the george foreman, or just grill it whatever)

1 tablespoon golden raisins

1 tablespoon honey roasted peanuts

6 pieces of pineapple chunks

1 tablespoon honey mustard

1 tablespoon fat free mayo

dash of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper,

and for those daring any kind of spicy powder- chili powder or curry powder

put all this in a food processor ( I have one of those mini chops that works well for this single serve other wise just double or triple and have leftover for another day)

Mix in processor till all mix (Mine ususally looks like pureed paste like consistency)

Put in a pita on wheat bread with crackers however you like...

enjoy hope you like it

 

[Shula8205]

Hello ladies . . . Well I'm back, and so is the weight I lost last week !! Not only did I give in to the Christmas goodies at my family's celebration, but why is that bereavement groups always supply fried chicken and chocolate cake at funeral luncheons???

Oh well, that's in the past and if you don't learn from the past you'll make the same mistakes in the future. Note to self, lots of bad food choices and no exercise or sleep = 2 lbs.

I climbed back on the wagon today and hope to do better !! I took a nap yesterday evening and feel much better today so I hope to get some exercise in. My doctor prescribed an antibiotic to try and determine the cause of my recent and frequent headaches and migraines, and that really threw me for a loop the past few days, but she's changing the prescription and ordering a CT scan, so I hope to get more exercise in soon !!

Looking forward to the holidays and hoping to spend more time chatting with all of you !!!

Lot's to read while eating my salad with chicken on it. It's so good. Yum Yum, I'm not board with eating this for lunch everyday because it's so good for me.

That didn't sound too forced did it?

Ok, I did it. I really did it. I almost did it in the fall, but too many excuses and I didn't. So, now, it's in the works. I'm in.

I registered for school and I'm back in business!

Working my way to be a Special Education Teacher. Wow, I finally did it and I'm all giddy inside.

I quite the day care 3 years ago to do it. Got rid of all my stuff and 2 months later found out I was pregnant. So, it got put on hold for a bit. A bit is over and now i'm returning to school. So, not to jinx anything, I'm not quitting daycare and I'll do it all at the same time. Plus I need to be here for Mal.

Yea me!
Breakfast: eggs and mushrooms,
am snack: cheese stick
I will do the tread mill after work. Halfway to go with water.

Can anyone tell me how we burn fat. How many cals do you burn while burning fat. Etc. I think someone here knows cause she said she reads about this stuff all the time and why is she overweight when she knows all she does? I hope that didn't sound offensive, I was just reitterating what I read.

Thanks!

PS. UM. I was a late night eater all the time. My trick was going to bed earlier or when the munches came I called it a night.

Congrats to Monymonymonicaschoolgirl! Way to go!

I really want some chocolate right now but I can't have since it isn't yucky......

 

[BONITATIME]

TM can I please join the idea that carrot cake is a vegatable. I really like the idea.

 

[UtahMama]

Can chocolate be a protein???? Just for a minute?





((Oh, the damage I could do in a minute's time!))

Can chocolate be a protein???? Just for a minute?





((Oh, the damage I could do in a minute's time!))

This could become a dangerous concept. What other food can we pretend is a good food habit
