DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[dragonfly18]

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?

Anytime! I have more than enough to go around...

Although it would highly dissapoint my DBF (who is also an eyeball kind of guy ) and Dismom's DH (who informed us all that I had lost some of mine when I lost weight - we all found it amusing that he was tracking this...)

 

[dragonfly18]

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???

ha ha! I guess that's what I'm doing by eating some of Dis' cake...helping her our, right? Sounds good anyways...

MONYMONY we miss you...

Holy BEEP! How am I supposed to read 20 pages and catch up!

My tummy is yucky. I've just been getting by. I saw a few pages, it's just hard to stay idle. I got to keep moving.

Mal has pink eye. 2 of my day care children have the stomach flu. I'm just washing all the blankets and pillow cases in hot water. Wipping everything down with lysol wipes.

All the dishes are being sanitized in the dish washer.

I'm trying to get all my paper work in order for taxes. I hate hate hate doing that!

I am drinking my water and eating when I can.

I just want some ice cream!

And a good night's sleep.

And to stop being so cold!

I think you should be limited to 3 posts a day.

 

[monymony3471]

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

I quoted the wrong one. I meant to quote a MONY sighting one!

You guys are hilarious!

I'm actually afraid to open this thread because of all the pages I have to read.

 

[dismom9761]

Someone said something about feeding the family.I have been trying to cook healthy versions of what we like to eat.Oh who am I kidding-My DH has been cooking healthier. One thing that we have liked are the recipes on Sparks.I am sure that I can put up a link in a little while(Or Dragonfly).

Anyone eat venison?We made a venison meatloaf the other night that all my kids liked.Really easy too.I do have to be careful because every time I diet Peyton(DS9) loses weight and that is NOT good.

UM,I don't watch wife swap but I would watch your episode.

Like HarleyI have found it helpful if I am not starving at supper time.

Winkers,I hope your sick ones feel better soon.

Dragonfly,looks like you can still get on at work... if you share the you better send some this way.I think that is the only place I am losing..

 

[monymony3471]

Don't be worried. I'm here! I just a little grumpy and queesy cheesy.

Ok, I'm all caught up! I'm exausted!
Gotta get my kids ready for school.
Where is Monica?I'm worried!

Dont you just love the start of a new day?
Haven't cheated. Haven't strayed.

Let's have a terrific Tuesday!!!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Good to see ya' Monica! Sorry that the tummy isn't feeling good. At least that will go away with time.

Sorry about Mal's pink eye and the babies stomach flu. You don't keep them when they are sick do you?

Personally, I don't think I could survive if I could only post three times a day. I would be in DIS withdrawal. Maybe there is a treatment for that.

 

[monymony3471]

Ok.....I wanna be a peep too mommy......just kidding....


Let me introduce myself. I am the DH in Bee's picture. I love to tease and have fun.

I have already lost 17 pounds so can I get in on this disappearing thing? PLEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE?

Hi welcome to the group! I think it would be fun having more men over here. My DH needs to sign on already cause he's totally messing with my markings!

 

[dismom9761]

Hi Monica!!Hope your tummy woes and household sicknesses go away soon.

If there were a treatment for being addicted to the DIS then my DH would already have found it...

 

[eeyore45]

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?

(hold my place at page 176 please!!)

Hi Shula!! GO!! Absolutely print it out, call your local Bally's, its an incredible deal!! I went last year for 4 weeks - and everytime I was there the girl that put me through the paces, always checked on me, and asked if I remembered everything!!

Last night the trainer mentioned they are trying to put the Health Challenge into groups for an "over view" (which I thought would be a sales pitch, and a tour, NOPE, they took info, you signed a waiver, did some cardio and then they put you through a simple Pacer test - 5 min fast on bike gives you a fitness number, sit and reach, get the number, and sit ups - I could do NONE - I can do crunches, not a sit up!!! So that took an hour... THEN you sign up to do a one on one with a personal trainer - and that was awesome!!

Jill put me through a full hour of a full personal trainer workout!!! She saw right away I need upper body strength, and back strength, so she took me through those machines (That I skip!! and reminded me by just showing me the leg lift machines - - which for some reason is a breeze for me!! )

Then she put me through a 25 min cardio workout - some on the ball, sit ups, some step work out - changing it up, and encouraging me. I was on the ball and she gave me a heavy 3# or 5# ball and told me to "toss" it up in the air, she'd catch it!! It was a very intense FREE personal workout...

She then assured me the next time I was in, I should ask anyone about the machines, because it was a lot of info, and that's what they are here for!!

GO FOR IT!! 8 weeks - you and me, virtually of course!!

 

[eeyore45]

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???

( I was agreeing with Aldisney , then read you!! )

Winkers

and we'll just have to get the wet noodle out for you missy!!

 

[monymony3471]

On the tread mill this has been average for me.

If I walk very steady I can do a mile in 14.5 minutes.

If I walk and run together I can do a mile in 12 minutes.

Not a big difference, but the cardio is awesome.


I am still running but not like a crazy person before I found out I was pregnant. I just add a few minutes here and there.

 

[eeyore45]

Great Idea I do turn into the crabby patty! I make squidword look charming! keep em coming please !

CrabbyPatty...

Well, here's my 2cents worth.

If its good enough for me, its good enough for everybody. If I'm the cook, I'm not the maid, I'm not a short order cook... This is dinner, enjoy, if its healthy for me, you need to be healthy too - enjoy!!

Also, do note that portion control is important, so for my picky eaters, I may make aspargus for me (sprinkle balsamic on it yum!!) but I'll put raw carrots out for everyone -

For portions, divide that plate, 1/4 protien 1/4 carb, 1/2 veggies - for everybody's sake!! Now, I may make wild rice for me, and instant rice for them... (OK, so it looks like I AM a short order Cook!! )

AND NEVER EVER buy tempting snacks!! For the kids, I have yogurt, bananas, apples, raisins... oh and the mandarin oranges in the lunch paks... I hate lil debbie brand cakes, so I"ll buy those. No chips, but pretzels, and microwave popcorn. So there is a lot of choices, but I always focus on healthy choices!!

Good Luck!!

Fidge, I love your way of thinking! That's part of my problem, I'm really good at rationalizing (is that a word)! I have a friend who calls me when she needs a good excuse to be lazy or eat something!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Ok, I have read about people doing this, but I don't know how. How do you bookmark your place on a thread? It may be really simple, and I am missing something. Is there a special way to do it, or do you just try and remember what page you were on when you left? That is what I try to do.

 

[winkers]

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.

Thanks for the hint! I'm going to try that when it's time for his next dose.

 

[eeyore45]

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!

ALL right I admit it Brett Favre was a darn good,,,, great.... (grrrr) QB - but I think if you live here, you should support the BEARS, even if they are losing!!! Not jump up to the Pack 'cause they were winning!!! and trivia - love that Green Bay WI own the Packers!!! and selfishly I do hope Brett Favre doesnt retire - more chances for the BEARS to break out...

(and yes, after last game, I fully expect the Bears to choke Sunday, and lose! )

<<<Back to your regularly scheduled thread topics>>>>

Good to see ya' Monica! Sorry that the tummy isn't feeling good. At least that will go away with time.

YOU'd be in DIS withdrawal, just think what it would do to me!!

MONICA You asked how you are supposed to keep up.... here's a clue.... CHECK IN MORE OFTEN!!! and yes, that means giving up your REAL life!!! I mean, really, what's more important, your kids, your tummy.... ummm READING ANOTHER THREAD?!!! or us????

Everybody...

 

[eeyore45]

Lastly ( before I go lay down and take a nap!!)

ARIES for those chicken wing flabby arms, truly I should find a link, but I kid you not - its really really effective to put your arms behind your back''' PALMS UP - THUMBS pointing to each other - NOW LIFT HIGHER... lil HIGHER... ok NOW... slowly bring your thumbs together and back, together and back I SAID SLOWLY... LIFT THOSE ARMS< IF THEY"RE DROOPING, its NOT working!!!

DO this for a count of only 25 or 50 the first day, work up to 100 in 10 days - the first day you do this, if you go all out, you'll NEVER do it again, you'll be so sore - WHY???

IT WORKS PEEPS!!!
