DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[aldisneygrl]

Welcome Bee's hubby and Glenda! You'll love it here.

Today I have 2 sick boys home. Why are boys so whiny when they're sick? And one has the dreaded pink eye, which means they will all have it. I've lysoled the whole house. We seem to get a round of this every year. Have you ever tried putting drops into a screaming and struggling 6 yr old? He suddenly turns into iron man! I spent most of last night up with him and then let him take over my side of the bed and I slept on the couch! But I was good and didn't eat the chocolate raisins that were calling my name.
Have a great day peeps!

Try putting the drops in the corner of his eyes while they are closed. Then when he opens them, they automatically go in his eye. It has helped with my kids.

Good luck. I have had to wrestle a strong armed little girl before. It is amazing how powerful they can be when they don't want something.

OK sounds like a cardio and weight training involved how many calories can you burn holding down sick kids for meds??

anyone? anyone?? ok Winkers I will just have to go and look that one up I would say its 200 calorie burn per dose!!!

I still think that chocolate covered raisins count as 1 veg and 1 fruit serving. CHocolate derived form cocoa leaves sounds like a veggie to me and raisins well there is my fruit! Could this be a problem??


ok where is the spellcheck already on this???

Morning Everone!!!


Ok I need to get up and get motivated here and what a better way to do it but to do it together so here it is PEEPS!!

Get up and start with 10 jumping jacks.... ok now do some glut work and clench and release as you sit at the computer or in the car, ok drink some water, and how about some arm work this morning to make those flab wings toned..... hold your arms out to the side for 3 mins now find something around the house if you dont have weights like a soup can or juice can if you really wanna feel the burn something with wieght to it now one arm at a time hold the can with arm stretched out for a min and switch do that 10 times. ok last one maybe... swing your arm up and then to your side slowly 5 times each side with your weight in hand, then last one ladies and gents you can do it arms at side, weight in hands bend arms up to chest and then down to side do that 25 times and your good for now!!! Drink Drink

I dont member who posted about what to do with family and meals, but here is my answer...I make them suffer thru what I eat, I figure if I need to be healthy then they need it too...BUT I do make at least one thing I know they like..one night I made Hamb help and I ate a very small porttion and served it with lots of cooked smart veggies which I ate lots of...I find thats what I am doing right now, cooking lots of veggies, and they will either eat it or go hungry, yepthey call me Sarge...(plus I let them have their milkshake desserts if they eat a healthy supper)

plus I find that if I have a late afternoon snack of some kinda protein it helps me get thru the dinner gorgefest and late afternoon crabbypatty mommy attitude

hope this helps...

I think Harleygirls idea is great, that's what I try to do. Take a small portion of the main dish which is usually where all of the calories are then fill up on veggies and salad. It's handy to keep a bag of salad in the house to fill you up at mealtimes.

I remember somewhere on this thread it was discussed that the first bite of something is the best anyway, so a small portion may satisfy the craving (notice I said may).

Also, and this is where I can get into trouble, if we eat late and it's been awhile since I've had a snack or something, I tend to gorge on dinner with wild abandon! I know this since this JUST happened LAST night!!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Boy, more to "catch up" on!

All you ladies (and 1 grumpyguy) can talk ALOT!!!

Hey Bee...If DH is doing this, does that mean I hafta find another roomate for Jan 2008?!? I'm sure he'll want to go just to see who all these people are!

Done! (3 lb. wts too) My Bat Wings are so skinny now!

So anyway, I tried the soup family just snubbed their noses and thats ok! It is so hard to make their meals and sit with my wonderful dinner!

So ladies what is working for you all when its dinner time at the house with family any tips??

PROBLEM: I WANT WHAT I MAKE THEM!!!!

Yeah...my kids never liked this soup much, I think it was the cabbage.

My solution to family meal vs weightloss meal was this:
If I made meatloaf, I'd keep some meat separate for me to make a burger, less calories. The same would go for some of the chicken recipes...I'd put a chicken breast aside then use the rest for the recipe. And always make LOTS of veggies!!!

Now however, there are no kids left at home and I just make DH what I'm eating...whether he likes it or not! (BWAHAHA!!!)

I forgot to post to this!!!

I am NOT a runner. its those dang sistas

Remeber we have 3 hours to walk 3 miles - I am a 20 min a mile runner!! back in college!! I was skinny then!!

I am felling your pain on the sistas...black eyes all around!

I love the cabbage soup. I've been known to go crazy and add some barley (making it NOT zero points). My family is lucky to get anything other than cold cereal since my DH isnt around for dinner. Thank goodness I dont believe in "Man Law" ~did anyone watch wife swap last night? Both familes were awesome! Both were over the top in their own way. We like to pretend we're gonna do that show.

Up next, Wife Swap! Will the goodie-two-shoes Mormon mama ever survive the swap with a Vegas STRIPPER??? Stay tuned as the house of nerdy white boys and their 2 yr. old diva sister learn how to lap dance (Oh, my babies! My 17 year old MIGHT just stay home!) And the wreckless Vegas kids learn the power of the evil eye,the naughty mat, cabbage soup with a side order of "chocolate" muffins!!!!

Welcome Minnie Moo!

I did really well today.I stayed under my calories,walked 50 min on the treadmill and did 30 minutes with the weight machines at the gym.

DH,Tyler and I layed in the floor to do sit ups together and the fiber muffins started talking to me.Lets just say we ended up more than exercising.But I think that is just what we needd... May be TMI but it was funny.

Everyone have a most fabulous and skinny Tuesday!!

BTW-I still have a good bit of my gooey chocolate cake in the kitchen and did not take one bite.Baby steps...that might have been a giant step though...

Dis - yeah, but you sent some to my house...now what am I supposed to do about the cake sitting on the counter calling my name?

 

[dragonfly18]

Good one I am an eye man myself

that is great...just great!

I am way behind (like 9 PAGES since yesterday!!!), but nice to have another Newbie around!!!

 

[aldisneygrl]

I am felling your pain on the sistas...black eyes all around!

Now that's funny! Ok maybe not to you since you have to live with them, but when I read that it was so funny. Would y'all be willing to donate some sista love to a girl who needs some?

Dis - yeah, but you sent some to my house...now what am I supposed to do about the cake sitting on the counter calling my name?

Im' Open I'm open throw that cake to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am chocolate free and am afraid I am going to lose it in the local candy store and eat all the little treats insde ...can you imagine DH hearing over police radio woman gone nuts in candy store..eatting all the choclate holding employee hostage........you knwo he would just know it was me!!!

See if you give it to me my family can save on my bail!

we HELP EACHOTHER RIGHT???

 

[dragonfly18]

the Buckeye state is in mourning today . . . No offense to the Gator fans, but who would thunk it??

And no offense back, but GO SEC!!!
I'm a Dawgs fan myself, but good to see our conference so strong!

 

[dragonfly18]

Hmmmmm...I just had a MonyMony sighting...over on Nebo's TR.
So, she's alive!

How in the world do you have time to look at other threads? I can't keep up with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dragonfly18]

for MONICA (all other peeps cover your eyes)

I have the sovereign cure for all-day-sickness! Taught to me by a pre-natal nutrionist. It really works.







Trust me.







Potato chips and lemonade. You have to eat them together... slowly... the more sour the lemonade is the better (I eventually was just putting in like 1/4 cup sugar for 2 quarts).... the combo of sour and salty does decrease the gaggy feeling.

This got me through my twin pregnancy... I was puking an average of 56 times a day! (I also got some anti-nausea drugs to help me through the first trimester) I was sick the ENTIRE time.

I'll admit it, I looked...I just have one question - does this work for hangovers too? (not that I drink or anything...hhhmmmmm

Sandy: My DH is from Oswego, IL and is a die-hard cubs fan . . . so I know all about it. We somehow end up at Wrigley every summer, but I go for the Italian beef and Chicago Style Dogs!! His whole family loves the Bears as well, they made me wear a cheesehead on New Year's Eve because I like Brett Favre . . . Hey, you gotta root for someone when your home team's the Browns!!

P.S. Let me know how Bally's goes, I printed that out too and even though we're already members of our local rec I thought I might try it just for the personal trainer!! Do you just get one session free with a personal trainer?

Ha ha ha! I'm a Steelers fan so I am ANTI-BROWNS, but I have been coerced into the liking of Brett Fav-ra since my DBF is from Sconi (WI) and thinks he is some sort of god or something....and I was forced to take a picture with a piece of cheese on my head at the Packers/Falcons game last year...what a silly tradition!
