DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[eeyore45]

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.

No wonder I'm behind, y'all are posting while I'm trying to catch up!!!

welll, you USED to be able to hit "favorites" and then "Save" then my computer would ask if I wanted to replace the link I already have, and I'd say yes, so then when I clicked on my favorites, it would automatically take me to my last post!!

Now I just have to go back and delete - for some reason my computers not recognizing I already have the link saved!!

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!!

I did it! I called our Bally's and I'm getting a tour and I guess an assessment on Thursday night at 7 . . . I'm gonna try and drag my DH with me too! I'm sure he would like the personal trainer part. So they do your fitness assessment and show you how to use everything, and then you get an additional hour with a personal trainer for free? That's exactly what I want.

The guy I talked to also mentioned that they were going to have small group trainer sessions for the National Body Challenge passes, so I guess I'll find out Thursday!

Okay... it is my conference period so I've been catching up on the bios.

I noticed a couple of peeps express a love of ol' Cap'n Jack

DD19 had a story that she thought was hilarious and just had to tell me. Seems she and a young lady in her Technical Writing class somehow started talking about WDW (imagine that, MY DD talking about WDW of all things... it is her happy place ). ANYWHO, this girl tells her that her friend is currently working at WDW as the Cap'n... and that he is dating Aladdin. DD thought that was the funniest thing she has heard in ages.

 

[Bee]

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!

Right now.. everyting is sooo up in the air.. So, if you find out you can go for sure... then find a roomate.. I wont know for months from now. I want to. I just have to find a job 1st.

Grumpy's grandma came thru surgery like a champ. She had a pacemaker put in and looks GREAT!

Thanks for the prayers!!

I think you're the only one who read my very funny and witty wife swap post, dismom! Thanky you for that!

Winkers- so sorry you have sike little ones! Pink eye was easy to get rid of here. I cloroxed everything I could and Lysoled the rest and I did the closed eye drops too. No freaking out from the infected. It was gone in probably a day and a half and no one else got it.

Mony- Mal has pink eye too? I hope none of your daycare buddys get it too! I too hate the year end tax time! I start the year with my reciepts all organized and catagorized but they end up in a shoe box! We claim everything as a tax deduction that we can...toliet paper, bibs, wipes, toys etc. Hopefully we'll get a good check!

Sandy!Sounds lovely having a personal trainer! Sounds like she worked you good!

OH NOOOO! That is funny! I think if Capn Jack had 5 mins with ME, I could change his "team"..... (Not)

 

[Bee]

Mama??

Did you see my Question yesterday about how much weight you think I could lose realistically by my 40th b-day on May 19th?

Whatcha think?

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!!!!

Utah- they usually try to get opposite women for wife swap...........

I think 35 pounds is realistic. Try to average 2 pounds a week.

OH! Ummm.... Figure 1-2 lbs per week average. Some weeks more, some weeks none. You totally can do it! I am positive you can! It's so hard but NEVER give up.

Okay here it goes...

My name is Shawna and I’m 31 years old. I have a 13 year old DD name Morgan – who is the biggest joy in my life (but is currently stressing me out with her teenager attitude and Drama Queen life). I was married to her father (who was my High School sweetheart) for almost 11 years and have been divorced for almost 3. I have a wonderful DBF who I have been seeing since the divorce (we live together). I’m sure we will eventually get married and maybe have more babies (since I always wanted more and he doesn’t have any of his own). Dismom (who has been my best friend since we were 14) keeps telling me I need to get busy with this baby making thing if I am really serious about it. I figure I want to be done with the birthing part by the time I am 35, so I have a little more time to play with… Right now we settle for shared fuzzy babies – our two Poofies (kitties) that we adopted right after we moved in together - Kensey and Cosmo (Denny is a HUGE Seinfeld fan so the boy got named after Kramer and the girl got named after my father…I know, it’s a little odd, but hey, what can I say?).

I have lived in Newnan, GA since I was 6 years old (prior to that I was a Navy brat and lived in 3 other states). For my day job, I work as an International Lumber Buyer (sounds important if I say it that way). Actually I import wood to be used in our plants all over the country. I do get to travel to South America a 2-3 time a year and all over the country to our plants. I have been to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. I hate being away from home and my family, but it is a great experience to get to see everything. I am hoping to get to travel to Europe in the next year or two. And the best part is I don’t have to pay for it!

In what little free time I can scrounge up, I like to scrapbook (except I go in chronological order and Mo is about 4 or 5 in my books…I need to get busy!!!), take pictures (to go in the scrap books of course!), read what ever I can get my hands on (I just got the latest Sweet Potato Queens book for Christmas and can’t wait to read it!), and just recently, torture myself at the gym with a personal trainer and/or cardio (Dismom is my work out partner…she has drug me off the couch more than once). Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of working out – AFTER I am done! I just hate the thought of it prior to…

AND I think the TIVO is the greatest invention EVER! I have so many “can’t miss” shows each week that I would never get anything done if I couldn’t record them. Loves me some Heroes, House, Lost, Smallville, Las Vegas, Two & a Half Men, My Name is Earl, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and The War At Home…told ya there were lots of them! It really is a wonder I get anything done…

I would post a picture, but I can't remember my password to get into that place where I save my pictures (lovely...I can't even remember the name of the place / website...apparantly I have too much banging around in this head of mine...)

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Love all y'all!!

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

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!

For sale 1 autographed Cordell Stuart helmet.....yeah I know he ...how you say in America.... sucks

Let me see... opposite of UtahMama would be a very Goth mama who is dirty and lazy and doesn't like kids or grooming or cooking or the DIS.......

so you would end up in some family with 2 kids who have never had any attention or fun and would have them all crafting to Veggie Tale sing-a-longs and they would all cry when you had to go home to your happy, well loved, pink-cheeked little family who will be so grateful to have you back after a week with Mama Doom and Gloom.
