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

[Kathi OD]

HI!!!!! Yes, naughty girl, slink off!
The naughty's just get on the list for all the world to see Then the list is forgotten and we move on. STAY here Kathi! I mean, pleeeeease stay, we need your wit and snark!

But I would never get off the naughty list. You don't even want to know what I ate today!

I heard the "naughty gals" get coal in their stockings for Christmas. That sounds mighty uncomfortable to me, so just in case, better shape up around the second week in December!

Well, a miracle happened tonight. After spending all day getting my mom moved in, I went to Costco. I was tired and hungry, but I did not sample even one bite of anything! I honestly think that is the first time in my life I went to Costco and did not eat anything.

 

[HockeyKat]

I weighed again this morning and was down another 2? Salt. So my total for the week was 3, but I will save the 2 in case I need them next week.

I finally got my hair cut today... at least 5 inches off and went from long red hair to shoulder length flippy chocolate brown hair with blonde highlights and wispy bangs. BIG change. But it feels like I lost 10 lbs off my head. If only!!

Also, local grocery chain had turkeys on sale so I bought one... and also decided this year to use reduced fat sausage and light butter for T-giving dinner. I doubt anyone will know the difference, and I know it only reduces a bit but every little bit counts.

So, when you walk by a mirror do you wonder what that stranger is doing in your house? Good idea on Thanksgiving calorie savers!

Ugh! I'm super hung-over right now. My girlfriends and I went out to dinner at a place called Buddakan, the food and drinks were awesome! I drank about 6 to 7 ketel one and club and then I did 3 lemon drop shots...why I am up right now I have no idea!!!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

ugggg....... committed peepicide last night. We went to a new resteraunt for dinner. It's a huge, mostly Asian-inspired spread with sushi, sashimi, crab legs, fresh fish, shell fish, prime rib and a chocolate fountian. I've heard some really good things about it but I wasn't super impressed. DH thinks they use MSG; he got a migraine after dinner.

Kat~ I'm in the same boat, I weighed lower yesterday morning than I did on Fri. I'll take it but why can't the scale show me my best numbers on Fri??

Danielle~ I try to aviod the taster ladies but some days

Hey Peeps!

Gina - thanks for the PM. I just figured no one even realized I was missing!

I don't even remember the last time I posted on this thread...my guess was one I first moved and started my new job a couple months ago. I'll give a brief update for you all. I'm still working in 2 schools as a speech pathologist. One is primarily autistic children, the other are profoundly mentally handicapped and emotional/behavioral disordered children. Heavy. But I love it and the teachers I am working with are great. My apartment is know officially decorated. I'm still looking for a big-ish picture for my family room area but on the whole, it looks very home-y. I'm also getting a dog soon! He was born Oct. 10 and I'll be picking him up on Dec. 20 - just in time for Christmas. Oh, he's a goldendoodle btw. I'm not 100% sure what one from this litter is mine, but when I do, I will post lots of pics. Both of the boys from the litter are adorable though. The name I'm almost settled on is Walter. For Walt(er) E. Disney. And Walter Finnegan when he does something that requires a double name (I love the name Finnegan but like Walter more.) Nothing is definite though. I'm actually having some drama right now with the "breeder" - it looks like she promised one of them to another woman already when we aren't supposed to know for another week. Plus we are supposed to give her our top picks from the litter then she matches the dog to the family. I'm just a little ticked off and anxiously awaiting an email back from her.

On the peep-front, I've stayed about the same since moving up here. Which is good considering my hatred of cooking and my love affair with the drive-thru window. I think because I'm good for breakfast and lunch, then blow it at dinner, that it all balances out. Plus I'm running all over school all day. Every monday I "start over" and tomorrow is no exception. I just want to lose about 10 or so lbs by Christmas so more of my clothes fit and then get even more serious once the holidays are over.

So I guess that is my update...nothing too exciting. What is new here? Any more engagements? Or peep babies?

I'll try to post more, even if I'm not being all that peep-ish...

I DO!! That's so funny because I was saying that to DH last night. I went to Belk (like a Macy's) with friend yesterday afternoon and caught sight of myself in the mirror and was like, who's that??

Here are pics (before, then 2 after):

OH, I feel your pain. And I always wake up early for liquor hangovers. I usually am a very late sleeper but the worse the hangover, the more likely I am up early.

I think mine was the salt from Thurs night chicken liver pate (homeade and 450 cals in the whole batch!).

The dinner sounds wonderful. But don't you hate it when you commit peepicide and it doesn't even meet your expectations??

[luvmyboys]

Man. My 1st week and already on the naughty list!!! It's like high school all over again!

Will start weighing in next week, merci beaucoup. Today was a good day-- did a 5K race with my son this morning, stuck to NutriSystem for breakfast & lunch, had chili for dinner. Snuck a few M & Ms from 4 yr old DS though.

But, I'm not as hard core about the diet as some of you may be, because I exercise a lot. I just have a very hard time losing weight (just got put on thyroid meds, so that should really start to help).

Hope y'all had a great weekend!

So I think it is 90% official that this puppy will be mine...the white one.

Here he is at 3 weeks:

And just last week...5 weeks old:

 

[UtahMama]

I have 2 Shannons to respond to-

New girl (LOL!) NO, this isn't like high school, silly rabbit!
Good going on the 5k! Shesh! I stole m&m's too from dd4 because they were PINK. I couldn't help it! Anywhoo- glad you're here. Can't wait to see how you do next Friday.

Wonders10- I remember all the doodle talk a couple months ago. He's CUTE! Sorry about the breeder drama. She's one of those waaaaaay into it breeders I can tell based on putting baby puppies in costume. Hopefully it will all work out with your new fur baby! I loooove dogs!

HockeyKat- OMGosh, that haircut and color is fabulous!

Lauren and Noni- Love your Peepicide drama! Lauren, I can't believe you didn't choose mineral water with a wedge of lime

Dweatl- Costco Taster Ladies are the devil!

new girl Kathi- Naughty list! I'm sure you'll be #1 on it even when you stick to your diet perfectly.

 

[HockeyKat]

Kat~ I LOVE that hair color and style. The bangs look terrific!

CUTE hair!!!! I love it!

!

Thanks guys!! I wasn't sure about the bangs OR the color, but I am really liking it. I went to a new stylist, as my old one has been MIA for about 8 mos. Cut, color, and highlights were under $70, so I am not feeling too badly about the splurge.

Kitty is doing well, although she is unhappy to be in a cone. Luckily for me she is a docile sweet kitty and pills like a champ, so at least we don't have to fight to get antibiotics in her.

I spent today making good food for the week... UM's pumpkin soup (I skip the milk, use ff sour cream, and add an extra can of chicken stock... only 60 cals per cup), low-cal chili, low-cal shepherd's pie for dinner. I love my made-for-TV onion chopper.

You look great. My hair is getting very long, and I haven't been doing anything with it. Your picture inspires me to get it cut. Now if I could just find the time.

I caved a little today. I had to go out to the garage freezer, and I saw all the food I had ditched out there when Nutrisystem came. I saw an open, almost gone ice cream, so I decided to eat some instead of my yogurt. They're both dairy, right? It was frostbitten though, so after eating a sad serving, I threw the rest in the garbage. It wasn't a lot of calories (150), but it's sad that I ate it when it tasted like crud.

What diet???

 

[HockeyKat]

Oh, almost forgot... Shannon your soon-to-be new puppy is SOOO cute!!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

Peeps~ If you get the chance to catch Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special on Comedy Central; don't pass it up! You'll need two towels, one to sit on so you don't ruin the sofa when you pee your pants and the the other for the tears runing down your face. I also don't recomend eating or drinking anything or you may choke or snort soda out your nose.

We took the kids to an indoor waterpark today so I got plenty of exercise. It was lots of fun. I went on the waterslides and floated/swam in the lazy river. I had a minor melt down trying to get out the door. None of my swimwear fit. Nothing. At. All. I have a Tink suit that was a bit too big but mostly fits now, there isn't enough support in it though so I have the grand caynon goin' on.

Kat~ Your hair looks great! I never do anything with mine so it's always blah.

Shannonn (Wonders)~ Glad to hear you're settled in and school is going well. You're puppy is so cute!

DH and I are going to the gym to sign up with a personal trainer in the morning. I'm not sure if I'm 100% commited to it but I have to do something. I hate looking like I do and DH booked me a big spa day during our trip in May and there is no way whatsoever that I'm going to let people I don't know see me mostly undressed.
