DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!!!!

Haven't posted for a couple of days so had some catching up to do. Glad everyone is ready to start fresh again in the New Year!

Summer, Danielle, Lynda....Love the pictures of you guys! Always nice to be able to put a face with a name and you're all so BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Amy, Bee, Harley, Aries, Summer again.....What adorable kids! I miss little girls as my girls are all grownish and won't let me fix their hair in pig tails or use big bows anymore? I love boys too now that I have one of my own. I never understood the mischievous aspect of boys...just thought other people didn't know how to manage their boy-children. That's what I get....God has such a wonderful sense of humor! Here are the Lexmelinda kids at MNSSHP in Sept.

UM....Thank goodness the puppies are safe. I really felt that they were but the not knowing left me worried. So happy you get them out of hock today....good luck with that....put it on the Disney Rewards Visa!

Fidge and all lurkers/newbies!!! Now's the time to start fresh!! I am a calorie counter. Can't work with any plan that takes away my chocolate. I keep a food journal in MS Exel and count every bite that goes in my mouth. My formula is 12 calories X goal weight=daily calorie intake. That's from Calorie Queens web site. If you have more weight to lose you can set an intermediate goal and start there.

TODAY....
Back to work and exercise TODAY! GOALS....
Water...4 litres per day
Exercise....2 miles on the track with 2 lb weights X 4 days.
Calories....1400 or bust.

SALE ALERT....Lean Cuisine is on sale at my local grocery and I'm sure it's on sale everywhere else too. And if you buy SIX Lean Cuisines you get a FREE half gallon of ice cream!! Sorta defeats the purpose, ya know. I bought 12 and got 2 half gallons. Luckily ice cream is not my weakness. The kids were thrilled!

HAVE A SKINNY DAY, EVERYONE!

Lexi- your girls look so sweet...they'd NEVER give you a moments grief, I'm sure! .
Thanks for the well wishes on my dogs. I couldn't sleep last night very well knowing they would be home today! I have to brace myself because my two HUGE dogs can be a wee-little bit HYPER when they are happy, which is always! I'll have to give them a Christmas rawhyde bone to calm them down.

dismom- what cuties your DD and DH are!!!! I'm jealous of your DD's eyelashes...no fair!

Danielle- you two are very young looking and very CUTE! Dancing to MonyMony is alot of calories alone! Good job!!!!!

aries- OMGosh!!!! She is YUMMY!!! Look at those cheeks...SOOOO kissable! She looks like a mini-YOU!! I bet you looked just like her at the same age! I think we should post baby-pictures of ourselves next!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Good morning!!!!!!!!

Well my company is (finally) gone and I have no excuses! So no more half measures, Barbie bites and little tastes! I am Ba-ack! I am IN! I am making my health a priority. I want to be a skinny minnie.

It is 8 am and I haven't cheated yet. SERIOUSLY! I wrote my to- do list last night and it was over one page long

I am taking down the Christmas decorations. and (but I will be wearing something while I do it ) but first I have to feed the masses (why do children insist on being feed several times each day????)


However, before I forget: everybody is so lovely! I love the kid pics! It makes me feel as if I really do *know* you!

Thanks you, everyone says she look like a mini me but actually she looks so much more like my sister when she was that age... Ill post the freaky pics for you later.

[UtahMama]

In PhotoBucket, highlight the picture you want by right-clicking on the big long picture number (its right under the picture you chose) till you see the drop down menu and click on "Copy"....

Go to the DIS and hit reply to thread (just like always)...


Then, hit Ctrl V and your picture numbers will show.... to see if it worked, hit preview reply instead of submit...if it worked do submit!


It takes a total NON techie to explain, hopefully I didnt confuse you worse

Here: I did all my steps to make sure I was telling you correctly...

For your amusement....

It occurs to me I have not taken pictures of my 3 kids together... bad mommy!!

I will try today... meanwhile, enjoy these "oldies but goodies"

When we moved our boys to Univ of IL this past Aug. (note, dh and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, ds 21, ds18, dd10 - all by the grace of God!!)

and last Christmas:

playing with the Digeridoo!! (it wasnt the bassoon ds 18 wanted, but I've since learned to get him a musical instrument each Christmas!!)

 

[eeyore45]

At ds21 girlfriend's graduation, I snagged this happy pic!!

I have a goal!

 

[Mumbler]

Okay, I'm back and I'm in! I haven't posted in ages since I was at my mothers house and they have...I'm not sure how to spell it...dail - up... ... I shouldn't tease since it's kind of amazing that they even have a computer, but anyhoo, I just don't have the patience for it so I abstained all together.

Anyway, I guess I succeeded in my original goal which was to maintain over the holiday's and now I'm ready to lose. If everything works like it should we'll be at WDW in May and I'd like to be not just thinner but fitter (is that a word?).

So my goals are:

Drink my water - 2L/day
Work out 3x's/week at least
Stick to about 1400 cals/day.

Melinda - I'm interested in how you have your spreadsheet arranged and how you're able to figure the calorie content of homemade foods...I'd love a little more info if you have a chance to share!

Thanks!!!!! to everyone for the inspiration!!!!

 

[the Fidge]

ok heres a giggle me doing Denise AUstin exercise tape.... NOT A KODAK MOMENT!!!

It occured to me as the neighbor stood aghast glaring into the livi8ng room window I could frighten small children and tennage boys if I don't go and shut the drapes!

Lesson learned and btw what is wrong with that lady, I could never imagine moving my body that way in public let alone filmed! Wow talk aobut confidence!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Ok, all you skinny Minnies!
I'm back with a vengance.... BAYBEEEEE!!!

I'm fired up and ready lose this fat bum of mine. I started my new food plan tihs morning and made Dmom join me. We're going to head out with the kiddies soon for our daily walk, but I wanted to check in with you and let you all know.... I'm in!

BTW.... what cute babies you all have!!!!
My DD and DS are in my siggie..... DS has the craziest smile he just started doing. Can't see his eyes, just his chompers. Gotta love it.

Have a skinny day, everyone!

 

[eeyore45]

Oh I do love it - the pics - the kids, the motivation!!

Was watching Megan Mellaly show, and she had a 1 min motivating exercise!! That I can do!! *G

another Disney site I'm on (smaller community, very friendly, definate Disney addicts!) someone posted a challenge to do the WDW 1/2 Marathon Jan '08! I'm sure there is a thread here too for that.... I am so not a runner - bouncy bouncy is not my likey!!

and you should see me try and find a space to exercise with the kids home, every square inch of this small area is taken, I cant even get the exercise ball out of my closet!! So I walk around and up and down the stairs, that cracks them up!!

Water... I keep forgeting to drink water!!

I made my DH go to CVS and pick up a pg test to clear my head. All yesterday and today I just feel like crud. I never feel like this except for when I find out I'm pregnant.

I am in complete and utter shock. That positive line shone like the brightest star in the universe. It was not what I was expecting.

I am freaking out. I did have a period Nov 22. And each month prior to that.

I had a mammagram Dec 4th. All I can think of is radiation exposure.

My head is spinning and I'm telling you first before I even think of telling my family.

I'm thinking of taking another in a few days, but I know now why I feel like I do..........

Monymony Congrats!! I wouldnt worry to much befor I found out I was even pregnant with DD I had gone out for three birthdays with my girfirends and got more than a little drunk and everything was fine. They say as a rule of thumb not to beat yourself up on what might have happened before you knew as long as you do whats right from when you know. I know a couple of people who have had xrays and such done and all was A O K... plus my mom is a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) Nurse and she had been for the last 33 years and with all the sick little ones she took care, she says as long as you know now you know not to have anymore for awhile and everything will be fine.
