DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[aldisneygrl]

Welcome back S.Poppins! We've missed you here and on the Cheerleading thread. Not much going on over there. They are working on Challenge 3, and it is much more of a creative work than anything. They are making a TV show for DIS TV. For those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about it is part of the WPASADI thing on the Community Board.

I'm undecorating my tree. That counts for exercise right? It involves lifts, squats, etc.

Thanks Aries, got to go take a water break.

I haven't had a chance to read the last 14 pages, but I thought I better post before I do any more damage.Can a body really gain 7 lbs. in a week? That's what my scale says. I thought I was doing pretty well with holidays and Disneyland (I will be writing a trippie soon) but BLTs (bites, licks and tastes) have done me in. I'm hoping a lot of it is salt, and water, regular exercise and laying off the holiday chocolates will un-do the damage. I missed you all.
My mom was in a car accident while we were on our trip. She broke her ankle, which doesn't sound so bad, but she is already partially paralyzed from a series of strokes (one of the reasons I'm concerned about my weight is I don't want to end up in her condition) and the broken ankle has made it so she can't even use her walker to go to the bathroom We're going over now with some of the NYE leftovers, so she and her caregiver will have food in the house. The car was totalled, which means sister and I will be doing all the driving/shopping for Mom from now on.
Hope 2007 is a happy, healthy, skinny year for all of us.

Danielle - So sorry to hear about your mom. Here's sending healing love her direction. And a hug for you and your sis.

Don't worry about the weight gain. It could be salt , but the thing is you recognize it, and do something about it. Get up and move! And don't forget to drink the water! If it is salt, the water will wash all that away!

Just off the phone with UtahMama

and

I have the Pupdate!


The Utahdoggies are found!

Some nice person found them and took them to the animal shelter where they are warm and dry and well fed

The nice person saw the Utahmama hand crafted lost wuppies sign (probably embellished with ribbon and acid free vellum) and called her to tell her where the pups were "in hock"... the shelter is closed for the weekend so they can pick up the dogs after the holiday

What great news! This is as far as I've gotten in catching up today, and I was getting worried. Thanks for letting us know TM!

HAPPY 2007 PEEPS!!!!

A new year and a new start, right? I am ready!

I rang in the new year without a guy in my life for the 4th year in a row, but was surrounded by good friends, so it's all good! In an effort to be festive without getting a DUI, I concocted a little sumpin' last night that turned out to be yummy:
mix about 2 tablespoons of POM pomegranate juice with 8 oz. of Pellegrino mineral water over ice. YUM!!

Despite no alcohol, I was up until 4am, so there will be no work out today. There may be napping.

But tomorrow, it's back to the treadmill and no snacking at work.

Best wishes to you all for 2007!

Hi All, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Dh has been monopolizing the laptop for the last two days and my parents were in town yesterday so I haven't had much of a chance to read or post. I logged in on the kids 'puter and got caught up though.

I did 60 mins on the TM yesterday and another 25 today. My goal is another 35 before the end of the day. I has to have DH troubleshoot it before I can do any more as I felt like I was slipping and it was squeaking. DH is very grumpy and not feeling very well so I've been trying not to bug him about it.

We had a good day with my mom and dad. It's kind of hard to predict if we'll enjoy ourselves when we're with them. We ate pizza (I had 3 slices of supreme...lots of veggies) played cards then went to a Japanese steakhouse for dinner. I had sushi and 2 salads and soup before I ate my dinner and brought at least half of the dinner home. I had more leftovers than anyone else at the table. I resisted the cookies Mom made and offered for dessert.

DH got us tickets for the symphony last night and we enjoyed it, It was light hearted and fun, not all stuffy and boring like some performances can be. They had a NYE celebration which included a balloon drop, noise makers, champagne and appetizers. It was crowded and a bit noisy and DH's head started to bother him so we left just a few mins after midnight.

I've been very bad with my food today. I haven't drank anything at all and had some cornbread and beans for lunch. I also had a square of dark chocolate and 'tasted' teh chocolate frosting the kids were putting on the brownies. I was supposed to start WW today and even got a lot of the stuff I needed to get started but I was just feeling blah and got and a trying to look up points for some of my foods. I decided to eat light and have lots of veggies and a bit of fruit for dinner and call it good.

Hope everyone has a great night and a wonderful new year!

 

[aries1980]

all right Aries.... just because of YOU... I not only drank 24oz of water... (which entailed stop dis'ing, go to kitchen, fill water, do 3 sets of 8 squats (what else do you do when you are guzzling water?!) but I noticed that there was some yucky stuff on the ceiling, so now I have to get my Mr Clean eraser, and a stool and reach... hmmm this is an exercise too!!

So because of your post dear Aries, I feel better!!! Thank you!!

Way to go!!! NOw you only have 40 more oz left for the day yay!!!

 

[the Fidge]

HEy utah , you got me signed on here! I cannot do another FAT year again! I have a long way to go many tears to shed and many giggles I hope to hear instead! It will be a long road back to my once "fat" weight 140 is my goal.

It really sucks to be starting at 210 EICK!!!!! Ok enough whinning I have no desire to hide behind moomoo type clothing and be helathy enough to enjoy playing with my DS without someone thinking I am having a heart attack after walking up a flight of stairs! Not pretty!

Inspiration enough should be a behind me shot!!! I have not been photgraphed in 7 years now and would love to have a picture taken with my son this APril in WDW!!!SO heres to drinking tons of water which I really sm not very good at.

Doc has given me a green light to exercise again yippe I think! SO I signed up for the Jan exercise challenge! Pleaes have oxygen on hand for me!

SO my eatting now that will be a thrill to change. I am addicted to all things starchy, carby and chocolate! The 3 Cs of my life!

Ok so I think good old common snese will have ot take over in that daprtment! I have seen so many diets to try my head spins. Many years ago WW had a program called quick start plus I went for 4 weeks and had hit my goal weight wtihin week 3!

WW bring it back! It was perfect I had no decions to make really it was ouli8ned so idiot proof for me it was perfect. I have tried to find any of the brochures ebay doesn't have them but has the cook book. If anyone has that pleae let me know! It worked great tofr me.

SO enough out of me and heres to hoping sweating and hopefully making old DH get thrilled again!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Hi Fidgiepoo! to the Peeps! (You all will love Fidge... she is fun fun fun!!!!)

Great goals! We are all committed to making positive changes and seeking progress (not perfection) as we dare to put our health as a priority (so many moms put themselves on the backburner and I KNOW how easy it is in those busy days of raising the next generation.. I am preaching to myself here!)... but when Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! (right sisters?)


Well I have had non stop company forEVAH it seems... (they are still here) but when the last set left.... all via airplane there was much weighing of overstuffed bags, with people and without people and my scale broke... or unbroke I should say.... for the last 2 years you have had to have it set between 5 and 10 lbs with nothing on it to give an accurate weight and now it works when 0 is 0... and I seem to have mysteriously and magically lost a few more lbs I am looking hot hot hot and all sorts of people at church are noticing so maybe it is true (also I know what my kids weigh and the scale is correct for them as well).... I will go "borrow" a scale somewhere else before Friday and see what the truth is....

I am taking my girls to WDW in just a few weeks (27 days but who is counting ) and I would love to be at my goal weight by then! DH gave me some 3 lb hand weights for Xmas so I can take up my totally twinkie 80s dance workout up to the next level.

It's so great to have you!

I love starches! I love chocolate! I love carbs!

The South Beach diet is my choice of diet. Lot's of protein to keep you satisfied. 2 weeks of very low carbs but carbs that are good for you that come from mainly green vegetables.

After that we slowly bring back the other carbs but healthier. Little bits here and there. High fiber, whole grains, etc.

Sometimes, I don't even miss them.

What ever you do, we are all here to help cheer you along.

 

[UtahMama]

All Right!!!!! WHO left a CHEESE BALL in MY fridge! The ones that go perfectly with Triscuts? It was my DSIL who was over last night to play Disney Scene It and Deal or No Deal and Whoonu. Luckily it's wrapped in plastic wrap and sealed with a sticker or I'd be in big trouble!

We went to Johnny Careno's last night and I had the salmon with spinach and angel hair pasta (gave that to Norah) and TRIED to resist the piping hot french bread and only had less than a third of one...dipped in seasoned olive oil (goooood). I ended up taking half of it home for a second whole meal (lunch today...microwaved salmon...MmmmMmm, not!)

We (as in my whole family, NOT me) went sledding today in Park City Utah and I sat and FROZE and did not take the opportunity to go down the solid ICE hills and burn 800 calories trekking back up...I wont even begin to explain how very much I dislike being COLD and slipping Bambi-on-ice style on a crowded solid ice glacier that is the Park City Golf Course. I think I'm high-maitanance and princess-ish sometimes. I did not sit and complain at all. I just served piping hot hot-chocolate and warmed my cold babies and took pictures of frozen boogers and watched about 30 adults get HURT falling down...NO THANKS! Usually I go a few times but only because we're there and I want to be warm. We take family pictures in front of the same tree every year.

Gotta go clean out a kids closet and clean, clean, clean!!!

 

[the Fidge]

Twinkee its great to see you over here now I know I am in great company!! Congrats on the vacation! Mony thanks so much for the encouragement too!

Heres my secret by the way.... I plan that if I reach my goal than I will fill my face to my hearts delight when we get there in April....shh don't tell the scale ok???? Our secret right???

 

[monymony3471]

Lynda: Love the games. We played charades last night and it was so funny trying to teach the boys to act the title out and not scenes from the movie.

Bee: I can feel your readieness! Just do it! Take the plunge.

Poppins: I'm so jealous! WDW in 12 days. Have a great time. Can't wait to hear all about it.

eeyore: There she is, but in the game! Wooo Hooo!

aldisneygrl: That was my goal today until I started feeling crappy. DH came home with the chills and body aches too. Uh oh?!

dwheatl: Sorry about your mom. Hope she can recover quickly. Get the water in, and you'll see some of that go away. Just get back on your plan and things will get back to normal.

V: sounds like it was a fun night!

mhl: you also had a busy night. Great job on the work outs! I have competition!

Twinks: That's so great! Good for you. It's great when people notice. I'm still waiting.........

 

[Bee]

Just got back from the store. Bought all healthy...

We are even going to dehydrate some fruits for our own little snacks..

Also bought a George Foreman Gril.. Turkey Burgers for dinner tonight!!


Love all y'all, Bee

 

[eeyore45]

Bee - make Turkey Sausage patties, then freeze them, that way when you're hungry for a snack - tada!! Nice and easy to pop in the microwave !!

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!

OK Aries, I downed another 24 - tomorrow is a new day, starting fresh!! Hoping to get DD out and about, of course, we've had so much rain, that we havent seen the sun in weeks!!!

Now everybody You know you can while you brush your teeth - you can do squats etc!!

Dinner was fab, DH fabulOso - dh cleaned the entire kitchen, ran the dishwasher TWICE, hand washed all the fine crystal... I'm in love!! 25 years and he still does dishes!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I went to the store as well! I have a fridge FULL of healthy food! I went a little crazy. I also forgot how much I dislike going to WalMart! Ack! But I have yogurts, sugar free puddings, fruit cups, applesauce, apples, pickles, South Beach wraps, tuna, lunchmeat, whole grain bread, english muffins, salad mix, light mayo, fat free sharp Kraft singles, gorganzola crumbles, weight watchers sherbert popsicles, salsa, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pork chops,...and a 9V battery for my new scale. So, I tried it out, and it says my ideal weight is much more than I thought it was. It is pretty close to my goal weight though. I want to get back to about 170-180, which is where I was at the time of my wedding. I think that is the smallest weight I can expect to maintain and still maintain my sanity. It's about the smallest I have been in my adult life, and I was pretty happy at that size. I'm 5'7", and at that weight, I am between a size 12 and 14, but looked smaller because of my height and shape. The scale said my ideal weight was 187! But I am starting out with 30 lbs, and that won't get me there, but I sure will feel better, and it's a place to start. I made changes before because I changed my eating habits, counted calories, drank LOTS of water, and was excerising at least 4-5 days a week. I'm ready to start a new, healthier year along with all of y'all!

 

[monymony3471]

Bee and Lynda! You go girls! Ready to go! very exciting to have you on board this thing finally!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Fidge - Welcome! I am a WW Lifetime member. Not that you could tell it now. I have lost about 30 lbs. twice on WW. I think I may have that Quick Start brochure somewhere in my WW folder. You may have to tell me what it looked like. I'll look and let you know. I could always copy it for you and mail it to you, if you would like.

I haven't been too good today. I have been undecorating all day. Didn't eat, and when DH went to get Chick Fil A (just sandwiches), I raided left over candy I got from my preschoolers. Shouldn't let myself get so hungry because then I go crazy! (this will have to do since the crazy smilie is gone )

I need to go get some more Propel - thanks Aries!

 

[Bee]

Bee,your post caught my attention because I too worry about my DD7.She is several inches taller than my DS9(though he is small)and about 25 lb heavier than him.She has been teased and has a low self esteem. I hope to help her while I help myself.Here is a pic:
