(did I use it right)




guess what !!! this is our week PEEPS!!! this is the week I know it we are all gonna see a loss!!!! I think some of our peeps have disapeared in the last few weeks and hopefully if they all come back we can lose over 40 pounds, wouldnt that be awesome?!! I havent seen nsalz or katinhat or minniemoo lately...should we tap them and say hello? checkin on them?

NSalz hopes to be back with us tomorrow! Her Dh had a heart attack 3 weeks ago and it's been a rough recovery. Things seem to be looking up but I'm sureany extra prayers you peeps have available would be appreciated!

I woke up HUNGRY and ate a WW 100 cal. blueberry yogurt. NOW, I'm starving and so I'm waiting for my Kashi black bean and mango with veggies on a 7-grain pilaf...oh it's NOT breakfast, but it's what I was hankering for. Everything Kashi makes is beyond yummy!

Harley, is the other Amy having a lovely birthday?

Oh man, this is goooood breakfast!

 

[harleygirl]

Utah - yes, today is disamy's bday we're gonna go have barbie bites of birthday cake later this afternoon...her mom is making the most heavnely choc cake in the whole wide world...ie you have to eat this with a spoon nearly cause its so gooey...but I will be good, I will be good i will be good...maybe I'll just keep repeating WWPD WWPD

Pixie OMGosh - I am so upset for nsalz!!!! did she post that and I miss it? you think she'd mind a PM, or is she overwhelmed right now?

Summerz - I dont mind a PM and I hope you won't leave us, maybejust change your user?! thats up to ya...but I hope you stay...good luck with whatever you decide!

Princess V - I am registering fer shure - ie note the 80's reference (again) I think me and dis are 100% on this even if it means staying offsite, otherwise we will prob try to do Pop to keep the costs down...hoping that my dear family will get a trip down this yr and I plan to extend my tix by a day or two soes I can get them cheaper...we'll see!! I am so stoked!! Animal Kingdom is like one of my fav parks, EVEREST ROCKS!!!! I dont know if I will be able to run it at all, cause of this naty lil prob I have in my foot, but I will walk it proudly with my Peeps!!! DH has yet to decide if he's going with, so not sure if it will be a girls trip or a couples trip... I cant wait!!!
PS even if DH goes I doubt he'd walk it anyways - keep getting an "i dunno" when i ask

 

[harleygirl]

Doh - i think i misunderstood your reference utah - I havent talked to dis today, but its raining here yuk and tornadoey weather again and a party with lots of rowdy children indoors will prob drive her to drink later!! hehe i'll let her know you asked about her - shes been having internet trouble so she's in and out

 

[harleygirl]

I did okay today I guess but I didn't exactly "Kick it up a notch" like I wanted.I got up this morning and Rachel (DD2) was wheezing and barking so I had to take her to the Dr.She is feeling fine but sounds not so good when she coughs.She has Reactive Airway Disease and now is on steroids (AGAIN)for spasmodic croup.He also got to see her in action and asked some questions and said that she has some "issues" that may need some professional help if she doesn't start to grow out of it. We already knew that so no big shock there.
My daddy(and no matter how old I get he will always be my "daddy") took me out to lunch for my birthday and I ordered exactly what I wanted but only ate half.I went to the gym and did the different weigts for an hour and then did about thirty minutes on the elliptical and treadmill.
I am not feeling so great tonight-kind of depressed and there is alot of tension between DH and myself.We seem to be walking on eggshells with each other and snapping alot.
We all need to send some Harley's way she was over tonight(GO COLTS) and she feels horrible.
Bye for now...

i so love Grampa

 

[eeyore45]

Lots of sharing, so lots of passing around!

I'll PM ya summersk

and what is going on weather wise in Georgia???!!!!

I"m going to try and register next week for the 5k, but like others have posted, I'm SO not a runner, what with the.... sista's and all, KWIM???

Thanks for the links UTM I saw it on tv, and it really was bad video, like maybe the parent, kept putting down the camera to see what was happening??? But in the end, I think the characters are in character, and take pride in that!!

Princess V and So I guess we'll let you skim the NINE pages!!

spongemommie How are you feeling? Hows the little spongies???

Well, time to go, I have decided to get rid of boring brown, and bump it up a notch to (hopefully) stunning REDhead!! My grandmother on my dad's side was a beautician, so I love to save money and do it myself - I've found the PERFECT brand of color at the Sally's Beauty Supply - so time to rinse and reveal!!

Utah -Pixie OMGosh - I am so upset for nsalz!!!! did she post that and I miss it? you think she'd mind a PM, or is she overwhelmed right now?

I think a PM would be nice for NSalz! No she didn't post anything here. She my little sis, that's why I know what's up with her. I know she's been lurking from time to time, just no time for her to post. Luckily things are looking up! My DH is going over to her house to assemble her elliptical this afternoon. She got her's before Chrsitmas, but with DDs medical troubles, it's still sitting in the box. Dh just spoke with NSalz'z Dh (our DBIL) to see when he should come over, DBIL told him if he'll put that thing together, he can come anytime he wants....even 3AM would be fine! DBIL joking arouhnd again is a very goos sign!

Just started reading this thread off and on since NY and today noticed some of you are planning on the '08 5K.

Spring of 2005 I got down from 320 to 280 and between January and May my DD and I "did" 7 5K's. At times we did one every weekend... just depending on what was available. It was a lot of fun at first, but it got expensive with all the entry fees and we did get burned out. We'd be so wiped out we didn't feel like walking during the week.

ANYWAY, here is what we got from the experience that I will use in future races...

1. Walking purposefully (as someone mentioned) was a great way to go... we actually ended up passing several "runners"... even skinny ones which was always gratifying.
2. Don't come in last and always improve your time... other than that, the "results" don't matter.
3. Shoes and socks are very important... choose carefully.
4. Water is available during the race, but bring a bottle too... it gets lighter as you go.
5. This "fat chick" could actually run a little... if it is for a short time and downhill... if I can accomplish this at my weight, what will I be able to do when I'm half that?
6. Races that reward you with bananas and yogurt are actually doing you a favor. Sure those free all-you-can-eat jalepeno poppers are delish and some people love free beer, but don't those kind of defeat the point of racing?
7. My favorite for mentally gaging how far I've gone... a 5K is about the same distance as starting at the front gate of Epcot, walking to and through the International Gateway, past Boardwalk along the path to D-MGM, turning around at the gate and walking back to the Beach Club Villas.
8. Finally, it is MUCH easier to do if you've got your peeps with you.

Thank you. believe most of us want to walk it, I am just soooo hoping I can be there!!

1 Point Muffins:

3 C. "All Bran" cereal (little pellet type or little sticks)
2 1/2 C. water
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. Krusteaz Fat Free Brownie mix

Soak All Bran cereal for at least 10 mins. I do this in my Kitchenaid Mixer bowl.
Then turn on your kitchen aid with the wisk or spatula thingy attachment and mix it well.

Add baking powder, vanilla, and brownie mix. Mix again.

Spray muffin tins with PAM then fill each spot half full.

Bake in preheated 350* oven for 20-25 mins.

These are VERY moist and will only stay good for a day or so.


(Stay near bathroom )

Thought I would move the recipe forward.. still looking for my fires!!

WELCOME, DeneCarter!! Your experience is needed!

Just how far is 5K? Is it farther than my front door, and down the street to the community mail box? That's how far(and not an inch more) I can run. And, when I run, I piddle on each impact. TMI, but funny!

I WANT to be a walker! Do any of you have an extra $6,000 laying around? We'd HAVE to stay off site at Nick Suites (Spongie would fit nicely in my suitcase with how TEENY she's getting) because of the cool Spongebob kidssuites and a huge discount from a Holiday Inn relative!

I know we're planning on the end of Sept. 08 with the Halloween Party so if any of you plan that far in advance, I'd REALLY like a value season DIS Peep meet !!!! We are for sure doing Cinderella's Royal Table and BBBoutique for our little princesses. That's as fas as we've gotten with the year and 9 month advance notice.

I do NOT want to drive! I would be on street drugs or hard liquor. I can barely go to Walmart without pulling over to lecture.

 

[Bee]

Ingredients- 1/2 pound sweet potato cut into 1/4 inch thick sticks.
1 tablespoon grated reduced fat parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon extra-virginnolive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
pinch cayenne
salt to taste
pinch ground pepper
ketchup (optional)

Preheat oven to 400
In medium bowl, toss potatoes ,cheese,olive oil,garlic powder, paprika, cayanne, salt, and black pepper.

Place the potatoes in a single layer on a medium nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Flip the potatoes and bake for 10 to 12 or until the potatoes are tender and browned in spots. Serve immediately, with ketchup if desired.

Bees note- I cooked them a little longer.. I wanted a little crisp.

Bringing the recipe up... so others can have a chance to try them.

Love all y'all

Utah - a 5 K is 3.1 miles - so get out there and start making laps to the mailbox!!! you dont have to run, altho if you do and piddle I will laugh at you, only out of love tho' the same love that causes m to laugh at my workout buddy who has fallen off the TM and the elliptical...I tried to save her but was laughing with her when it was over...Anyways - you can walk 3 mi...you prob do it now thru WM and dont even know it!! and definately you walk it thru the parks!!

I think the majority are planning on walking ?? its not a very pretty thing when I run nd the only way I can is when I am wearing my superduty sportsbra

 

[lexmelinda]

Just how far is 5K?

3.1 miles....which would take about 45 min walking at top speed for us 5'5" and shorter but maybe less for the tallish peeps like Mony & UM.

well i'm 5'7 and it took me an hour to get 2.5 mi yesterday, with this gimp foot i have, me and dismom are doing a charity 5K in Feb so I'll be better able to post any tips then..last 5K i did was 4 yrs & 20 lbs ago!!!

 

[dismom9761]

I just have a quick minute because family/friends are about to be here and there are clothes all over my couch but I really wanted to say THANKSfor all the birthday wishes.

AND I will definitely be there for the 5k Dismeet.Run or walk I don't care as long as we are there.The more that can make it the more fun it will be so everyone try to figure out a way if at all possible.Harley and I were talking about arriving on Thursday night and staying until Sunday.

UM,maybe we need to start car washing or something to help the ones that need to fly.You and spongemommie can share our bathtub.

well people are here and there is nowhere for them to sit...ooops!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Will Spongie and I BOTH fit in your bathtub?

 

[lexmelinda]

UM....I am planning/plotting for end of Sept. again too. The kids have the last Friday of Sept. off again in 2007 just like in 2006.

If I go again in 2008....I'll have to go alone or maybe I can talk SIL into coming along.....and start planning my good reasons now for why I should go meet my imaginary cyber friends and do the 5K.

Not sure it will go over too well with DH especially if I get my Sept. trip.

Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!!


ps to S. Poppins - I can't respond to your PM because I haven't posted enough yet!!! I'm from Central MS - near MSU. I was in school there when I took a semester to do the College Program at WDW - way back in 1990. I can't believe it's been that long.

I appreciate everyone being so welcoming. Please don't take offense if I don't post a lot. It takes some getting used to - all this typing to "talk" and I'm not that much of a talker anyway!!!

But you do seem like a great group to "hang out" with!
