DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[DisneyLaura]

Soooo I totally commited peep-a-cide last night!!!
I was all set to cook a healthy dinner and POOF it went out the window. we had to drop the kittens off at the vet adn i started getting sooo tired on the way home, and stressed out about the kittens ( i know..i am ridiculous) so we stopped at MC No-Nos!!! totatally had a big mac..and fries..ugh.
BUT today is a new day..i HAVE to work out today and stay on my calories/carb/fat allotment if i have any chance of seeing positive movement on that challenge chart! yikes..

By the way..has Aaron been on since weigh in?? I didn't see the chart if he was..no bigs

I have not seen Aaron since weigh in either and I also committed peep-a-cide too. We went to Duchess here - onions rings and a Big D cheeseburger. We orginally were going to eat at the football game (DS9 had a football game last night and we eat at the snack stand), well it was so cold we decided not to eat in the freezing cold and go somewhere warm. Bad choice I made - but at least I had a diet coke

Anywho, Laura is the babysitter again today because the kids have off and my SIL uses me for a free babysitter. It kind of ticks me off because my brother will email me begging me to watch the kids for them while she works. Shouldn't of she thought of this BEFORE she got a job. I know I sound bitter but I can't help it. I need extra money too but I have to worry about who is going to watch my kids when they have a day off so I don't have a job (only one night a week). Their kids are great but they are very possessive of their things. I actually told my SIL not to have them bring their stuff here because if Elizabeth who is only 2 picks up something of one my nephews grabs it out of her hands and say it's not hers. I love them dearly but I hate that not sharing stuff. They play with my kids things and my kids don't say a word. He's 5 so I think he should be out of that, At least it's only until 3:00 pm.

Hey Peeps

MouseHouse - So sorry about your cat, that is so sad

Snow_White - I know Im chiming in a little late with this, but I am also in the camp of t-shirt and shorts / tracksuit bottoms for working out - I refuse to spend big bucks on clothes that are just going to get gross and sweaty!

Lauren - Wow, you really DO recommit! I wish I could be that commited to exercise, but at the minute I think Ive lost my exercise mojo

Well peeps..Im sick I feel..blargh! Ive got a head cold, but as you know they make your throat, eyes, ears and nose hurt as well as a killer headache! Im trying to keep myself hydrated, but all I want to do is lay in bed and eat nice food - even if it does feel like Im swallowing razor blades!

Hope everyones having a great day

 

[DisneyLaura]

DisneyGalUK - feel better

 

[mommaU4]

Hope you're all having a good week so far!! I've been pouring over holiday recipes I want to make. Gee, none of them sound all that healthy. Good thing I have my husband's coworkers who LOVE to get my baked goods. I can make them, and send them on their merry way to others who can afford the calories. LOL

 

[dwheatl]

Mousehouselover- So sorry about your kitty.

I ended up getting a couple shirts on sale to work out in. I completely failed yesterday, we got one of those buckets of popcorn with the carmel, cheese, and butter kind.
I could eat that whole thing, and I ended up eating more than I should've, of not just popcorn everything. I didn't get to exercise yesterday either. But that's okay.

That popcorn is one of my guilty pleasures. I saw some at the hardware store yesterday (just when I thought it was safe; why does the hardware store have food out?) and had a momentary thought of buying one for a cheat day. I decided that if somebody gave me a can unrequested, that would be OK, but I won't buy one for myself.

Sorry about the sickness. Save the nice food for a time when you can really taste it. When I have a cold, I often eat many junky things because I'm never satisfied. I can't taste it, so I want more. Try to stick to chicken soup (at least you can taste the salt) and fruit juice (one that doesn't burn). Here's a germ-free hug

Feel free to just stick their stuff in a closet until they leave. If mama doesn't like it, maybe she'll find some place else to leave the kids.
Hope everyone is having a great day. Hats off to any vets or vets' spouses out there. Thank you for serving our country.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Thanks guys

DWHeatl - Thats good advice! Earlier I felt in the need for something 'junky', so I was just going to eat some chocolate - till I realised I couldn't even smell it, so chances are I couldn't taste it, so I resisted.
Ive had some soup, and a low calorie hot chocolate instead!

Im hoping I feel better in the next day or two - I feel bloated and blargh because I can't exercise, and I was supposed to be having a visit from my gorgeous niece tomorrow, but Im too sick for her to visit (shes only 2 months old so I really dont want to pass any germs on to her!)

I did manage to get up to watch our Rememberance Day Parade and two-minute silence on TV - Very proud of our soldiers and veterans.

Hope everyones having a great day

aaaaaaaaack!!!! Peeps I totally pulled a muscle on the right side of my lower back and its shooting down my leg UGH!!! I was so excited to make time to work out tonight but it hurts way too much..i can barely sit still..the worst part is i did it by picking up a box of paper...how STUPID I just hope it gets better in the night so i can AT LEAST do a low impact walk away the lbs dvd in the morning..sigh..on a good note i did fine with calories today...

Haha. Yeah. I ended up getting a BCG brand shirt, for about 4 dollars. It's the most comfy shirt ever! It has a little mp3 pocket on it for your ipod. (But I have a zune, so no help there) I'll probably go look for a couple more if I go back. I'm a bargin shopper, so I wasn't going to dish out too much for some. I ended up getting about 3 shirts for 12 dollars.

Aw, I hope you feel better.

I couldn't help it, since my family bought it. So it's just sitting there looking oh so delicious. I ended up having a handful today and decided it would be best to make some air popped popcorn with some salt and a little bit of butter.

I love the boxing on the wii fit, it helps me release stress from school. All I have to think about is it's my chemistry class I'm punching.

MApigletfan, I hope it gets better!

Off to do some yoga.

Hi all. I committed the peepicide of all peepicides today. No self respecting peep would even admit this but I learned that a 50 year old breast cancer surviving accountant can eat 100 mini tootsie rolls in one sitting. Yup, I did it. It's very busy at work. My staff and I are working like crazy. I go all day, 12 hours, without moving from my desk. When I got up to leave at the end of the day, I realized all I had eaten were tootsie rolls all day and I pulled my waste can out from under my desk and it was full of wrappers. I was so embarrassed that i grabbed handfuls of those wrappers and put them in my desk drawer because I didn't want the janitors to see it.

Some people hide alcohol bottles, I'm hiding tootsie wrappers.

I can't even believe I confessed this to all of you. Oh the shame, the shame.

 

[dwheatl]

Faith -
I've been there. I've spread candy wrappers to different cans around the school, and stuffed some in my pocket so they wouldn't be obvious. I've also told myself it's a relatively harmless vice, since it doesn't hurt others. Then I go see my mom and realize the harm overeating can do. Oh well, at least we can always work off the extra cals, right?

 

[mousehouselover]

Hi Peeps! Thanks for the hugs and sympathy for my poor kitty. Frak was such a sweet and loving fuzzbaby. I miss him so much and it's been hard trying to accept such a stupid, crazy thing could happen.

On a much brighter note; we're taking a weekend trip to WDW! It's a budget trip and it's short but it's our first trip over the holidays and I'm excited to see the decorations. We're also going to purchase our APs that we'll get to use for 4 trips.

I'm working on improving my peepness. More veggies, more fruit, less junk. I need to start counting points again. I'm trying to find my motivation but it keeps slipping out of my reach.

 

[MA pigletfan]

Don't feel too bad . . . it happens to everyone sometimes

I am out of control with baking . . . I have been baking and scoffing and baking more and scoffing more for two solid weeks now. Haven't dared weigh myself and don't know what to do! I feel I have no insentive at the minute (apart from the inner thigh chaffing!!!)

OK.... I got my exercise in for today...... I was laughing so hard after reading this. I had visions of you crouching under your desk and frantically scooping up the wrappers. Kinda like that I Love Lucy episode where they are working as candy wrappers and the candy is coming down the conveyer belt faster than they can wrap it so Lucy and Ethel began to frantically stuff candy everywhere......

Hey, look at the bright side...at least they were mini tootsie rolls! Imagine the damage if they were larger!

How is mom?

Just the opposite for me. I love both brands of coffee, but Dunkin Donuts makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack

You better find some charities that are holding bake sales and offer to donate!

As for me, after doing great the last 2 weeks, AUnt Flo has come to visit and I am truly makingher feel welcome with the naughty snacks! I think she will be leaving very soonish, so hopefully I can do some damage control today and tomorrow and Friday won't be a total catastrophy. On a good note, I went to The Cheesecake Factory yesterday for lunch and had soup and salad! No dessert! Who knew I had it in me?

I've been thinking about you lately. How are your daughter and your family doing?

 

[mommaU4]

Ive had some soup, and a low calorie hot chocolate instead!

How is that? I just bought some over the weekend hoping it would work to satisfy my chocolate cravings. I haven't tried it yet though.

Anyone watch the Biggest Loser?!

So glad that Beeeee....ootch Vicki got what she deserved and her husband got the BIG BOOT OFF!!!! Can't wait till she gets kick off the show and gains all her weight back

ohhhh was that mean????....trust me she deserves it

She IS mean and nasty! I do not like her at all.

At least you owned up to it, and trust me, I've done worse. And in less time. And hidden the evidence. So you aren't alone.

We have a Dunkin Donuts opening up down the street from us, and I've been wanting to try that flat bread. Thanks for the review.

I love to bake too, especially this time of year. I send whatever I make in with my husband to work. Can you do something like that? Or maybe try baking some new low cal recipes from Weight Watchers or something.

Ugh, Aunt Flo always demands lots of sweets from me too when she visits. I had to say way to go on not getting a slice of cheesecake!!! I am in awe!! I love the stuff so I simply cannot fathom that. Very impressive!!




Hope everyone is doing ok this week! Have a good Hump Day!
