DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Backstage_Gal]

Twinkie and Bee, lots of

Twinkie, I agree, the timing sucks, how unthoughtful and rude of people to do this at this time of year. The HR people should summarily be fired.

But things will work out, just hang in there.

Miss you!

Is it over? Is it safe to come out and face the music from the holidays?

It is? Good!!!!

Woke up early and did Tae Bo.

I only gained a pound over the weekend, but I tell you what. I felt yucky the whole time.

I'm off to throw out left overs. I hate to do that, but it has to be done or I'll hate myself more.

I skimmed several pages. Way too much to do in 10 minutes.

Hope everyone had a good holiday and hope that your miss haps did turn out ok.

Here's to a healthy new year everyone!

GOOD MORNING!!!

Bee....It doesn't matter how old we get, we are always little girls when it comes to our moms.

Twinkie....Our neighbor was laid off last year and has a much better job now. Something good will come of this. Worst part for his DW: He was at home and underfoot for a month!

Harley.....A man built my house and the laundry room is in the DUNGEON! Congrats on the new appliances and floor. That is my goal for the spring. So glad your son is OK.

Monica....way to keep up the exercising, girl!!

QUESTION TO ALL....
Do your friends know you DIS? Or are you a closet DISer?

DH started to tell our friends last night how he wakes up to hear the keys flyin on the keyboard every morning when I'm talking to my "Disney friends". Forums are hard to explain to people who don't understand the concept.

YESTERDAY....
I got ANOTHER plate of cookies last night....delicious cookies. I will be so glad when all this stuff is gone. One more party tonight for a friend's birthday. More cocktail food.

Back to work and water and exercise today....

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Bee...<<BIG HUGS>>

Twink...What a horrible thing to do to someone at the holidays! It's not like businesses are hiring right now either. My prayers are with you & your family.

Lex...My friend know I DIS but have no idea what it means!! And your right, it's hard to explain.

I forgot to mention the best gift I got for Christmas! Disney on Ice tickets!!! That was DH's big surprise for me. I got 2 and can take anybody I want...of course he is planning on coming with me, so I guess I'll take him!

Today I am going to a Bridal shop to look for gowns with DD & her bridesmaids! She is getting married in Aug. It should be a fun day!

See you all later!!!

Good Morning Peeps ! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. I fell off the wagon for the holidays : , but I am determined to be back on track now . I just finished planning my meals today on fitday and I already made my healthy dinners for the week last night, so being that I eat fresh fruit for breakfast, and salads for lunch (I'll be having left over baked turkey on these so I don't have to worry about what protein to put on them), I'll be having a mini 100 calorie popcorn bag, and a small serving of animal crackers 100 calories/day with this. I am ready! We also have a gym in our town (owned by a friend of mine) that is open 24 hours and totally affordable, so I think I will be joining as I can go when the girls are with Daddy and I have nothing else to do (those are my BAD times). BeeI am so sorry about what you are going through the holidays can bring out the worst in people TwinkieI am sorry to hear about your DH's job, prayers and pixie dust coming your way, I know it will work out for the best
PEACE to you all GUYS AND DOLLS! Let's ring this new year in right! A New Year and a New You!

Good morning.

Thanks for all the encouragement and hugs. They do help muchly.

I am back on the wagon thinking WWPD? Well, first they step on the scale and face the music (denial aint just a river in Eygpt ya know).. and holy bon-bons batman! I have gained 3 lbs. So I measured out cheerios for breakfast (total 245 calories) instead of eating leftover blueberry muffins, or homemade bread or the cookies that seem to be everywhere.

One small step for TwinkieMama, one large leap for Peepkind.

Next step: Can I dance like no one is watching with a house full of company?

Do my friends know I DIS? Well, yes and no. Yes- you guys are my friends! A couple of really close IRL friends knew... most people, no. My family knows that I DIS.... just last night my mom said "How do you met people on the internet?"
I didn't have a good answer for that.

It's Start Over Day for me!

I grazed too much with all the snacks and treats. I have a couple days to un-do some of the no-doubt extensive damage I've done!!!!

LexMelinda- my nonDisney friends look at me like I have a third eye when I attempt to talk about the DIS boards. The more confused they become , the harder I explain. It ends up sounding like I like in an alternate universe with imaginary friends who spend hours disscussing refillable mugs and funnel cakes!

Dismom- you are MY kind of driver! Sounds like FUN!!!!

Summer!!!!!! Way to PLAN!!!! You inspired me!

DisneyObsession- I LOVE disney on ice! I havent been since I was much younger. It was spectacular even back then!

To everyone- Have a SKINNY day!!!!!!!

 

[TwinkieMama]

I can so picture an earnest little UtahMama surrounding by adorable blond children scrapbooking at a churchy women's event while she explains her alternate universe where people post Every Detail of their Disney vacation and have people beg for more! Did you tell about taking pictures of your desserts while on vacation? or polling perfect strangers about which stroller to bring and what kind of shoes to wear?


Thanks for my daily laugh!

Hello fellow Peeps! It sounds like Christmas was eventful for everyone. We made it back from WDW on Christmas Eve. I was able to maintain my weight while I was there and have done fairly well so far. Now I have to get my mind around the fact that I'm trying to Lose weight and not just maintain it. I'm in a wedding on March 3 and I'd really like to lose 10-15 pounds by then. Do you think I can do it?

 

[eeyore45]

Trying very, very hard to be positive.

Still working on it.

Working on keeping my 10# ribbon!

May the magic visit each and every one of you!! Such deserving peeps!!

 

[harleygirl]

Good Day fellow skinnie minnies!! may I have your attention please...

After a brief rest stop for the holidays our Weight Loss Train is once again ready to board, so for all of us who have taken a day (or three) to "sight see" browsing and grazing in the land of unhealthy foods, it is now time to board and claim a seat...
So come on Minnies and lets get this party started!!!

Twink - so sorry to hear about DH -will pray that something way better comes along -and yes you can vent to us

LexMelinda - Even my DH looks at me like I have a third eye when I try to explain why I have suddenly become obsessed with lime green and talk about people using their usernames...and when I laugh out loud at the computer I get really strange looks...

Dismom - I knew you werent going to kill us, and I am so not being dramatic, I was just afraid of your DH killing us if we put a scratch on his purdy truck!!!

best of luck on a WWPD day!!!

 

[summersk]

does this count for am exercise lol? jk I am turning off all of my phones today (cell, and home which is tied up on the internet so that counts as turned off) I am having a day with my girls, ignoring all of society untill tonight when the kids have a spend the night w/daddy, and I am going to the 24 hour fitness to see if I am going to join, buy some art thingies to do for this week to go with some of the Christmas stuff, and see what the inside scoop is on a potential job as I know some people who work there. They have oxygen therapy at the gym too, which supposedly counts as 2 hours of cardio if you jump on the mini tramoline while doing the oxygen, also good for blood flow, stress relief (which I could definately use ), and other wonderful health benefits I don't know if it's included in the annual fee or not, but it sounds so good.

I am so glad to see my fellow peeps up and posting! Keep working on those ribbons, I'm planning to get one for myself soon to show off around the DIS.

As for telling people about Dising, nope, not anymore. Everytime I tried to explain the joy of the Dis people seem to relate it to why in the world I would want to visit the mouse annually, and why it is my ultimate vacation spot with my kiddos. They just can't seem to understand all that Disney World has to offer. When I can't travel around the world right now with my kiddos I can travel World Showcase and get some culture .So most of them fail to understand the Dis either, why in the world would I need internet friends that I probably will never meet? Because they are some of the coolest non judgemental peeps I have ever met, and maybe, by chance we will have a Dis Peeps tiara tea one day after I am done the laundry lol

Keep going girls & guys! One step at a time

Did anyone see this article in the paper? It talks about why diets fail so many of us and lists quick and easy changes for cleaning up our diets. Thay are:
Take a multivitamin everyday.
When reading nutrition labels, pay as much attention to sodium as fat and calories.
Switch to whole wheat bread-this includes pizza crust.
When you do splurge, make sure the item has some nutritional value. For example, pick an oatmeal raisin cookie over chocolate chip.
Build desserts around fruit. Even if you top it with whipped cream or ice cream you are still getting a serving of fruit.
Keep your snack cupboard, just stock it with healthier options.

Healthy changes need to be so easy that you don't even need to think about them.

Sorry, double post!

 

[Shula8205]

Bee, I think it's just a mom's perogative to get mad at her offspring . . . My mom and I got in a huge tiff Christmas morning because we somehow lost the can of pumpkin I needed for the donuts I was making (and shouldn't have been eating . . . WWPD?) and she didn't like the mess I was making of her kitchen . . . Fine, I won't cook her breakfast on Christmas morning!! In the end, I think holidays are just hard on families because we all have increased expectations and get really upset when a loved one ruins the magic . . . Kind of like a Disney vacation, huh?

Remember our whole carrot cake is a vegetable conversation?
Whole wheat pizza crust is yummy (but takes some getting used to) I just use rhodes bread dough for this. My kids do not like the wheat pastas so I wonder if I did 50-50 they'd like it more. I'm doing this for ME as much as I am for THEM! They have obesity on both sides of the family tree- Genetically Doomed!!! For Christmas, I got them active toys (Emergency Room toys) like skateboards, sleds, helmets, etc. as well as the slothful Legos.

I am eating leftover Chicken Pot Pie for breakfast. The crust is really flakey so it's buttery, for sure. And I only used pepper (not salt) as per the above article. And I'm drinking Cherry Faux-Crystal Lite. Does yelling at your kids count as cardio?

 

[aldisneygrl]

Well you know that pound I lost yesterday....Found it again. I think I celebrated losing it a little too much yesterday. I'm back on track today.

Here is sending to TwinkieMama's DH and to Bee! Holidays do seem to bring out the worst in some people.

Harleygirl - your DH needs my new massage chair cushion after he does that new floor. It does a great shiatsu massage up and down your back.

UM- I looked at that purple Dyson at Circuit City last night. It says it is the best for picking up pet hair. Do you have a pet? That is what I battle constantly. Along with the dead bermuda grass that my kids track in.

Keep up the good work peeps!

 

[honeymo78]

for twinkie and bee
Um gets a dyson, Harley gets a new floor and laundry facilities - santa should have brought me a clean house

Good news, DH was approved for financing (but he forgot to include tax tags and title so hopefully that adjustment will go through okay) and we can pick up the car tomorrow (it needs gas, a wash and a checkup before we take it home). Now he has to pick out the remote starter/security system he wants.

Did someone mention getting the 7hr disney tour as a present? We got one too for our March trip. My mom, who is going with us, really wanted to do the tour but knew we couldn't really splurge on it with the new car so she picked it up for us. I can't wait!
