DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[DisneyObsession]

Hi Ladies!!!

It has been a "veg out" day for me today! I have done nothing but play on the computer, eat and play "Kingdom Hearts" on PS2! (Of course, DS played more than I did, 'cause I can't get to places fast enough!) The Disney characters are fun in the game & my main objective is to see who will pop up next!!! (I obviously am not interested in winning!)

Anyway, I have been dealing with AF (TOM) all weekend, so think that has added "bloating" pounds to me! I need to get water in my system too! Boy, I am falling apart on my "do nothing" day! (But it feel great!!! )

Off to catch up on some posts! Have a good night!!!

 

[Ellester]

Hi Ladies! Well, I've been a total Oink Oink this weekend. I'm topping it off tonight with pizza. I told my dh that tomorrow we are going on a no fat, no carb, no sugar diet. Poached chicken only. I figure we won't eat at all! We've all but decided to use some of our Christmas money for an elliptical trainer. I haven't exercized regularly since we moved in Sept, I can so tell. I saw a picture of me in the slide show DH's uncle uploaded from yesterday and I swear I look 5 months PG!

I got my Baggellini from the DH and kids, a few blouses, scrapbooking book, earrings, Sandra Lee recipe cards, and a few other assorted goodies. We hit the mall today to exchange dd5's Crocs (from her aunt, a late birthday gift from AUGUST) for the right size and I got a pair of closed toe ones for winter. The mall was a zoo, but we were in and out pretty quick.

The big reveal went pretty well. The kids were a bit put off by the five boxed wrapped one inside the other. After the third one, (they had "guess" and "where" opened) dd5 said "this is NOT fun!". But once they figured out where we are going in 2 1/2 weeks they were pretty excited. DS2 is clueless, but he liked his Mickey autograph book I made him. I'll update my trippie once we get back from my IL's and have a chance to regroup.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

~Ellen

Hi All,

Wanted to say hi today.. Not sure when I will be on again. We are in Des Moines, IA for the week.. Staying at Embassy Suites. No free Wi-Fi connection so paid 10 just to be on till midnite tonite. Not sure we will pay for it again. Pool is closed. Praying it will open tomorrow or we will move hotels.

Got in a big fight with my mother. She disowned me for about an hour. She is really MAD at my brother and I for not sending her a card for Christmas. She was just here in Nebraska last weekend for her 60th birthday and we did so much for her then. I call her everyday. But, she took me out of her messenger, and email... erased me from her cell phone. Now we are making up, but I am not sure if we will really ever be "made up".

Anyway, there is so much emotional baggage there.. I cried a a lot today, but heh at least that felt good..

Well I love all y'all, Bee

ps- when your trip report gets moved to finished,... why can no one post anymore?

 

[Tinkabella]

Bee...I want to wrap my arms around you a give you a BIG HUG !!! Sometimes holidays bring out the worst in people. You seem like really sweet and I will be sending prayers for you to have better luck in the new year.

Keep smiling and remember we are your PEEPS...and we are always here for you !

Sounds like your mama was having a pity party and invited YOU! What can we do about hurt mama feelings? Sounds like it's getting better, though!

Pre-WISH, I woulda suggested Ben &Jerry's Chubby Hubby or Chunky Monkey, BUT now, I say vent away and dont "medicate" (I have to tell myself that daily and dont often listen!)

I feel for ya though. My mama would just get all quiet if I hurt her feelings and deny anything was wrong and that would be that. So I guess I'm grateful for the sweep it under the rug technique of conflict resolution. Of course, I would stuff my feelings too (and stuff my face so to speak).

Once a TR is done, for 3 weeks you're able to post on it. Then it gets moved to the finished pile or graveyard. You all gotta read TwinkieMama's "Mixed Marriage II" TR. It' s hysterical. She really is a great TR writer and I'm voting for a TR with the Princess Trip coming up! (Pleeeeease Twinkie???))

I truly feel hungover. I do NOT drink alcohol, but the excitement of Christmas is suddenly over and now I 've had a unbelievable headache and my body is all sore. (Yes, I DO know what a real hangover feels like, unfortunately..."back in the day" )

So what's everyone doing tonight????

 

[honeymo78]

Merry Christmas everyone!! Our new car came in today so hopefully the financing will go okay and we'll have it soon.

I haven't really watched food the past 2 days but I'm back on track as of today.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday.

Bee~ Many, many, many coming your way. I've had it out with my mom several times over the years and we have a peaceful truce in force at the moment. I call her when I feel like it, she comes into town for about 36 hrs once a year and sees my kids for about 4 hrs. We don't exchange cards or gifts, kids get something small for Christmas (since she usually comes around New Year's) but nothing for their birthdays. She doesn't tlk to me when Dad calls on the holidays or for my birthday. Somedays I think it's sad but I'd rather have this than be fighting with her all the time.

UM~ I LOVE! the BBW semi-annual sale. I always get so much stuff. I don't need it I suppose, I still have too much stuff from the June sale. I have to take the soap and lotion to work though, the hospital grade anti-bacterial makes me ill and I wash so much my hands are chapped.

Steph~ I just got a new car last month. I wasn't super excited at first but it's grown on me and I love it now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's having smilie problems and had to change my display. I have California Gold... pretty snazy looking and so much easier to read. I try to use the codes for the smilies on the right; the drop down mkes me crazy and is too long to be useful. If you put your pointer on the smilie it shows the code or title so you can type it. Just preview your posts until you remember them all.

I did ok with food today. I didn't eat breakfast and was sick to my stomach when I got to work. Thankfully someone had some bread so I ate a piece of plain dry bread. We were so busy today, we had to do surgery during lunch time so I ordered pizza for everyone. There was not way we were going to get any time to go get any food. I didn't pig out, only had 2 slices and 2 bread sticks. I was so tired after work I fell asleep while trying catch up on the news. I had a small dinner; veggies, ham and rolls. I kind of blew it with the drink though. I was craving some of my MIL's punch and I had a glass. It's sherbet with ginger ale. I only get it once a year, just like my egg nog....

 

[Bee]

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!!!!!!

 

[winkers]

Tonight I am eating the last 2 chocolate covered cherries, I only make them once a year, and since there was only 2 left if I don't eat them , someone else will. (I think that has something to do with my weight problem) I also am saying goodbye to take out and fast food for a month! I've tried to do it before but this time I mean it! We had take out Chineese and I announced that there will be no chicken nugget happy meals in my house or mini van for at least a month. My kids looked like they had been handed a death sentence. We never used to eat out, but with the kids getting older and into sports and dance, it's so easy to hit the drive thru. Any suggestions for picky eaters? So now, I'm going to enjoy my last goodie and wath potc 2!

Hey giving birth doesn't necessarily make someone a good mom. Sounds like your mom has lots of issues...maybe she doesn't like herself, so she takes it out on you! We all love ya though! As a matter of fact you are one of my favorite cyber friends! Hang in there...don't let her "issues" control your life. If she doesn't treat you right, she's the one who is losing out big time! Stay strong. you've got your peeps behind you Bee! Remember Bee is For BEEautiful!

Dearest Bee - sending you hugs and loving this evening...perhaps I should share my DH's philosophy with you goes something like " it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks of me I love me alot and I'm the one that has to live with me!" maybe I said that right ( oh he goes on to say "but if anyone does like me I don't blame them") anyways - what it means is you're number one!!! ....try to work on you and the other issues will work themselves out in time, at least to where you can come to terms with them in a healthy way...but we all love ya and think your really AWESOME so hang with us

 

[Bee]

Mousehouselover- Sounds like you have felt the way I feel. I cant just cut he out. But, sometimes I feel like that would be for the best. I keep thinking though what if something happened to her. How guilty would I feel. I wouldnt be able to forgive myself.

Winkers- Hope you enjoyed the choc covered cherries. Dont beat yourself up.. Just go forward.

Pixie- you are awesome, always have such nice thigs to say to me. You are one of my favorite cyber friends also.

Harleygirl- Thank you. So far not dealing healthy. Soon though! as Scarlett always says "tomorrow is another day"

UM- So enjoyed our talk the other day. Almost called you today. But we both have busy lives. Love ya though!!!

Honeymo78-Sure hope you got the car.

MY Adventure Report - betcha can't guess what I did today!!!! think on it, canyou guess??? okay I'll give ya a hint!!! Its an appliance, its the number one used item in my household AND has just been upgraded to MACDADDY status --YYYEEEEHHHAAAAA I got my washer and dryer!! WWOOOHHOOOO


Can you tell I am excited? Not only that, but sweetest DH in the world caught me in a spontaneous mood and suggested that we lay new flooring in the kitchen (yes a man built my house and put the laundry closet in the kitchen) SO I am getting new hardwood laminate something or other in the kitchen, all I know is it looks AWESOME and my DH back hurts really bad because of it but the downside is that I have no washer or dryer til Fri YIKES I can just imagine how fast that new machine is gonna tackle the sheer madness that is my laundry

Sweet Dismom is helping me out and letting me send a few loads to her house ( and doing them for me how ever did I get so lucky to have a friend to do my dirty laundry) but I guess she's trying to make up for taking a coupla years off my life after a drive to town in which I received a lesson in 4 wheel offroad driving with a baby in the carseat in the back... and DNeice2 says in her angel princess voice as we left for our 2nd outing of the evening YAY!! we're on the road and not in the grass!!! I kid you not we were suspended in a ditch and spinning tires trying to back out and finally decided we'd have to 4 Wheel drive thru the ditch to get back on the road....it was like a three ft drop!! I made serious indentions in the door handle and sweet baby in the back never once got scared and Dismom just laughed ....holy cow and I let my kids ride with her!!! oh well we had a laugh and no scratches were put on the loverly truck so alls well that ends well right? it did get my heart rate up tho! so I was glad for that

OH YEAH one other thing I needed to tell yous guys...I didn't eat over Christmas eve as my DH9 TOTALED his fourwheeler into a tree and I was quite nauseated for a while thinking about the what ifs. we were very blessed that he didn't hit even 2-3 inches more to one side as he was thrown over the handlebars and hit a tree with his shoulder, coulda been his little head. he is banged up and sore but nothing broken thank heaven, his gear went a long ways to protect him thankfully...but that fourwheeler is pretty shot, grill and front end is all smashed back onto the gas tank and the handlebars are pointing up to the sky ...DH says it was prob best that I didn't see the carnage til after they retreived it from the woods...least my baby is ok, and has learnt a lesson about stupidity and maintaining control while enjoying things that can hurt you! he's got a whole lot more respect for the thing now.

Okay so I am off to find something to wear for tomorrow, and to help out my sweetie with that hurting back after all I want my floor finished tomorrow!

Thank You God!! What else is there to say!!!! Congrats on the new washer and dryer.. also the new flooring.. hopefully, you hubbys knees will feel better.

Funny how the older we get.. how new appliances excite us..

Merry Christmas!

My parents and sister are here for a couple of more days. We are having a good time just "being a family"....

UtahMama- thanks for the nice plug for my ancient trip report... you are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Bee-so sorry about the mama-drama- no words of wisdom... just lots of

Well I fell off the wagon and haven't even seen it (is 7 cookies a day too much???)... but I NEED to get back on because I am using company as an excuse and my family will be here till friday and then my inlaws arrive... also my dear sister gave me some smokin-hot teeny jeans that I need to not "grow out" of this week

other news... the Thursday before Christmas, DH was told he was being laid off effective Jan 5..... I am and scared but, of course he is worried so I have to be the .... but can I vent to you dear Peeps? I think it is lousy that his employer is only giving him 2 wks notice when both weeks are holidays! makes it really hard to look for a new job since nobody is in the office!!!!!!

so that is why I haven't been 'round much, I have been feeling down and didn't want to infect you all with my blue moods.... but I appreciate your encouragement. I need to get back to exercise and water and not eating so much! Gaining weight isn't going to solve any of my problems! Anyway- I haven't been near a scale since last Friday so I don't know what I will see this Friday.

 

[dismom9761]

Bee,all I can offer is

UM, on the Dyson!!

Twinkie,sending lots of prayers your way.Vent all you want to here and we will listen and offer

Harley,I was in control all the time... I tink you may get your floor a little faster because i think DH may be there tomorrow.

I may try not to eat fast food also..it would help the budget also.I understand about the cherry because i just ate the last Little Debbie Christmas tree cake.

 

[dismom9761]

I had a wonderful Christmas and kind of have a let down feeling now that it is over.I received some great gifts that included workout clothes,nice shirts and sweaters,Mickey sweatshirt and two pairs of shoes.I rarely spend money on clothes for me so I was thrilled. I ate really bad for three days and my stomach is making me pay for it.I had my gall bladder out last summer and have trouble with rich or fatty foods.I had not had any stomach probs while eating well so...

I feel like I gained five lbs over the holiday but I am back full force tomorrow.I have a session with the trainer tomorrow night and I have not worked out for a week.

Well I am off to do more laundry

Love ya'll!!!Hope everyone has a great and skinny Tuesday....WWPD

 

[Bee]
