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

[LMO429]

Don't you hate that?!! It takes so long to build up the stamina and so little time to lose it!!

I have been trying to build mine back up... did hockey Mon night, kickboxing class yesterday at lunch, and hit the cross-ramp-thingy (no idea what this thing is but it hurt) for 30 min at lunch.


Headed to Disney on Friday, can't wait!!

I'm so jealous you are going to Disney on Friday. I have to make it a point to go down there to see the XMAS decorations. Are you doing any of the mousefest events there?

 

[UtahMama]

I love the Greek yogurt too. I get the one's with fruit in them already and add bear naked granola like Gina. Do you just get the plain?

I've only seen it in the plain variety! Man! I'll have to do a search of local stores because that would be sooo much better (easier).

So mad at myself! This morning I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred vol 2 and I was winded through the whole thing, I had to stop here and there and I was so mad at myself because three weeks and a half weeks ago I thought vol 2 was easy!!!!! So mad that I stopped working out 3 plus weeks I feel like I am not in shape right now an it making me super mad!

This is such a hard time of year to do ANY thing healthy!

Health insurance is my best friend. My chemo treatments were $7500 each and I asked the nurse what happens to people who do not have insurance and she said if they can't pay cash, they don't get chemo. Yikes! My surgery, chemo and radiation treatments were over $250,000 so without my best friend, ms. health insurance, I would have been dipping into my 401k.

Holy COW!!!! Yes, thank God for health insurance!




OK Peeps!!!! It's weigh day eve (already). Do what you can to at least maintain from last week. Do something above and beyond what you normally do, like, an extra set of crunches, choose water, an extra lap/mile, pick fruit instead of a sugary treat...whatever. Not a huge deal if you gain, but still...this time of year, be thankful to break even

MUCH love to everyone struggling!!! JUST hang in there till Jan 1st and try not to do TOO much damage

No, not that I know of... I am actually going down with two women from the "other" weight loss thread. We are making a girls weekend out of it! I am leaving tomorrow and will be back Tues night.


I have a fitness question. So, I have been going to this kickboxing class, and I love it, but after hockey Mon, kickboxing Tues, and 30 min on some cross-ramp thing yesterday, my legs, thighs, and glutes *really* hurt. Muscle-y sore type hurt, not injury. My question is... do I go to kickboxing today at lunch? Tomorrow is a travel day, and I won't be back to a gym routine until next Wed/Thurs, so I really wanted to get another good workout in... what should I do??

 

[Sparkie]

OK...... I've been bit by the Twilight bug..... but Edward could bite me for real

I read you all talking about the books and didnt think I would be interested THEN..... I saw the movie.... (there is no smiley for me fainting at the scrumptious boy)..... i sound like a teenager....

So now I'm reading the book.


I bowed out of the weigh in last friday.... too much turkey- well, if I'd only had turkey i might have been ok but 2 thanksgiving dinners - one at mom's and one and in-laws and the scale wasnt looking too friendly. Getting back on track- dont look for a loss this friday but hoping to hold my own


Not sure where I left off with my daughter.... We are changing doctors. I went with her 2 weeks ago for her visit and met her doctor for the first time. SO RUDE!!! DD asked if she would do a scheduled csection and her first response was "find another doctor".... well, you all know that I am a nurse of 20 years and work in a hospital in the maternity department so I know lots of doctors.... We were using the other doctor because she was the doctor for Medicaid in the county that I live in...... so by changing doctors I will have to be "cash" pay... it should apply toward my deductible for my insurance but I have a high deductible plan but for 2009 I have set aside enough in my Healthcare Savings Account to cover the deductible and have rationalized that I have spent more $$$ to go and play with Mickey and surely my daughter's health and the health of her baby are worth any $$$ spent.


SnowWhite.... I feel your fustration about your project.... at least you had a plan... my kids like to spring it on me at the last minute .... what about going to a greenhouse and just buying the plants? I also hope you are paying close attention to my daughter's situation..... learn from her....its truly no fun being 17, pregnant and alone (no boyfriend- she will always have her mom- even when she doesnt think that she wants or need me).... oh, and I'm counting the days until Harry comes to the theater.

 

[Sparkie]

This is for my northern peeps..... After reading your posts about snow and cold and lack of heat..... I am so glad I live south of the snow..... and just to make you jealous....

I went to the grocery store Tuesday in short sleeves, capris, and flip flops...

But the downer is July... when I am roasting....

But I love Alabama winters

 

[::Snow_White::]

Sparkie--I talked to the teacher and we're going to work something out with running tests on different filtered tap water next week instead. That way I can finish it all really quick rather than waiting for the plants to grow.

We just had a girl in my class have her baby a few weeks ago and another just before school started. I definately have never had any plans on it. I have two cousins that I take care of often and it's hard to take care of them for even a few hours!

Ah! I know. I'm so excited, I was very upset about it being pushed back, but the newest trailer relieved all that anger.

I got some exercise in today!
It feels good to be back on track even from a two day break.
I hope everyone had a good day!

Good news peeps. I just made reservations for June 27th through July 6th! We arrive on the last day of the stay 4 days and get three free package. June 27th is actually the first day that we can go, so we are just getting in. It is the last day of the promotion. DD graduates from HS the night of the 26th! She gets to pick her graduation meal at Disney I think she is going to go for lunch at Chefs des Frances! Great choice because we all love it. We'll also celebrate our 25th anniversary while we are there. Our actual anniversary is April 28th, but there is no way we can get away then. DH and I will take a night to go out to dinner alone, while we are there.

Hi all. I probably won't be on to weigh in the morning. One of my two little dogs has to have surgery in the morning and I know i'll be too stressed to remember to get on the scale. I even had a cheeseburger and fries for dinner tonight after the opthamologist told me had to have surgery in the morning.

I'll be wishing big losses for everyone.

Good call Mom. Nothing is worth more than a healthy family.

I can't exercise tonight and I couldn't last night because I hurt my hip pushing myself too hard on the new bike. I was limping for the last 2 days, and every place I looked this up, it said motrin and rest. So I'm just torn up about not being able to exercise (not really, but there's no sarcasm smiley). I am worried about how it will effect my weight tomorrow.

Ohhhh! Poor doggie! Poor YOU! I hate when my wuppies are hurting!

Ok, Free Pass for you tomorrow, Pak!




Good Luck Peeps!

WHERE IS AARON AND DAWN????? Do we need to send in the marines???

So mad at myself! This morning I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred vol 2 and I was winded through the whole thing, I had to stop here and there and I was so mad at myself because three weeks and a half weeks ago I thought vol 2 was easy!!!!! So mad that I stopped working out 3 plus weeks I feel like I am not in shape right now an it making me super mad!

Don't be mad. You were sick my friend. At least you were able to do it even if you were winded. I think I couple of more times and you'll be right back to were you were. I remember a couple of years ago I had asthmatic bronchitis and my doctor took me out of work for a week. I couldn't stay up after 8o pm to save my life (I was used to working until 11:00 and not getting home until 11:30 pm and not going to bed until 1:30). It took me a couple of days to get that back. I know it's not that same thing as exercising but you'll be fine don't be mad at yourself.

Health insurance is my best friend. My chemo treatments were $7500 each and I asked the nurse what happens to people who do not have insurance and she said if they can't pay cash, they don't get chemo. Yikes! My surgery, chemo and radiation treatments were over $250,000 so without my best friend, ms. health insurance, I would have been dipping into my 401k.

I was very bad in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving and put on 3 lbs. I ate so much at Red Square that I couldn't sleep that night. I'm back on the wagon again. Thank goodness I don't have another vacation for 6 more weeks.

I'm glad you had good health coverage for your chemo. I find when you buy your health insurance on your own the coverage isn't there but when it's from a job that you have, it's much better. I'm trying to get two more full days and then I can have benefits. Don't worry about Vegas, that will come off once you start eating like you were before you left.

Headed to Disney on Friday, can't wait!!

Have a safe trip!

Hope your appt. helped. I always remember going to La Brea tar pits and hearing that they found a prehistoric murder victim in the pits. She had been suffering from a sinus infection, and someone had bashed her on the head and tossed her into the pit. I wondered if they were putting her out of her misery, or if they'd just had enough of her crankiness.

I went to the doctor and yup I have a sinus infection (no ear infection so that's good). Can I tell you I took one day of antibiotics and one day of prednisone (to drain everything) and I fell 90% better already. I am so happy that my DH won't be going out on the couch because of my snoring, he warned me the other day.

But I love Alabama winters

I hate the winters up here and I have been here all my life. I just don't like the cold anymore. Funny when it snows here it's really not that cold. Going to be in mid 30's to high 30's and I just saw the news right now and it's going to snow on Sunday. I would love to move to a warmer place but the summer roasting thing kind of makes me not want to.

Give your puppy a big hug and kiss from me. What is he/she having done?

WHERE IS AARON AND DAWN????? Do we need to send in the marines???

I know I have seen Dawn on her Pre TR thread but I haven't seen Aaron anywhere. I was thinking about him yesterday too.

Am I the first weigh in for today. I was a little afraid to weigh in this morning because the doctor put me on prednisone for my sinus infection. Well guess what I'm -2.4 lb. I haven't lost 2 pounds in months.

WOW!!! Losing on prednisone is almost miraculous!! WAY TO GO!!!!

I'm down all of 1 pound this week, but truth be told, I don't exercise at all, so I can't really complain.

Just to let you know how crazy it is here.... Tuesday I was in capris and flip/flops and today the high is 40 .... it was 28 when I got up this morning.... Highs of 40 I'm freezing! LOL!!!!


YUCKY SCALE!!!! UP 3

 

[LMO429]

I am -1 today! Finally some progress.

Did anyone see the sex and the city movie when they are sitting there at the end drinking cosmos and they say "Why did we ever stop drinking these? and someone else replied because everybody else did!

Now I know why I stopped drinking them 2. We went out to dinner last night and I was drinking cosmos like it was my job and was soooo trashed last night it was ridiculous!

We went to a comedy club afterwards and drank some more I knew I was done when the comedian on stage looked like he had 2 heads.

My poor husband had quite a project on his hands last night I was a complete drunk hot mess. He took care of me, if he would of taken me home after dinner he would have gotten some the comedy club and the cosmos there just pushed me to the point of no return.

p.s. I am "Never" drinking again the room is still spinning but I got up and was able to weigh in

I'd love to go to New York this time of year (or in the Fall). The farthest east I've ever been is Florida. Does that count?


Sending the Brownie Scouts out to look for Dawn and Aaron!!!! We NEED you both!!!!

I'm right there with you on all accounts...
It's been snowing the past two days here, and it was SUPPOSED to be warming up today, but it's still lightly snowing outside my window....yesterday's high of 22 degrees was at 1:30 in the AM... ARGH!
I'm UP 3 for this week... didn't get around to exercising this week and didn't eat very well... had a lot of stressful family stuff going on so I'm hoping things get better quickly and I can make up for it next week.

 

[mommaU4]

TGIF everyone!!

I cannot weigh in today. I stepped on my scale and all it says is "Lo". Since I am pretty sure that isn't refering to my weight, I guess I need new batteries.

I'm not sure where to get them, they are round silver things that I've never bought before. But I'm going to hunt some down tonight and weigh in tomorrow.

The first half of this week was rough, so I doubt the numbers will be pretty, but I still have to know. I can't stand not being able to weigh in. I'm an addict.

Congrats to all who lost or maintained! Everyone else hang in there!!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm +2 lbs. this week. My Nursing 203 final exam is Tuesday and then it's only 1 semester until graduation. Yay!
