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

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, so here is it. Damage from the Disneyland trip was extreme. Keep in mind I had a cold, and it was the kind that is soothed by eating something. (Eating seemed to break up the congestion and help my throat feel better.) I am up 9.4 lbs!!! And it was worse! According to my scale, I have already lost about 6 lbs since I came home! That's right my total gain was about 15 lbs!! So I'm hoping a lot of it is water weight and will come off quickly. I've spent three nights on the bike this week, 60 minutes, 70 minutes, and 75 minutes. And I've walked for about 25 minutes at lunch three days this week. I'm planning to keep that up at a minimum. I hope that does the trick sooner rather than later.

Sparkie, I'll be thinking of you and keeping you and your mom in my prayers.

Please remember my mom in your prayers. She is now on the ventilator (breathing machine). They think she has pneumonia, a ? heart attack- according to her labs she is too sick to do an angiogram, ? pulmonary embolism - a blood clot to her lungs, they couldnt do the CT scan of her lungs because her kidneys arent working right, and all of this is complicated by her COPD.

I am the oldest sibling but I might as well be an only child.... my brother has yet to come and see her .... it doesnt suprise me though. My brother is a dope head and i dont mean the goofy kind.

Thanks for the shoulder to lean on.

WOW. . . My dad is going through the same thing right now! I just flew to out to be with him, so I'm not weighing in this week. They thought his was just pnemonia at first, but then realized he'd had a heart attack initially, and that the pnemonia came on soon after (he's diabetic and had a "silent heart attack"). They've got him on some intense/mega doses of meds to relieve all the water retension and keep his heart from being soooo stressed, and as a result, now his kidneys are struggling too. Luckily, my bro lives near and works with him, and he called me out immediately. I've been here a few days, and he's looking and breathing a bit better, but we've been told if he gets through this, it's going to be an extrememly long and hard road for him.
I wish you and your mom the strength to get through this.

Hi all.
Up this week. +1
Ugh!

Hope you all have a nice weekend!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Geez...it;s been a week (I think) since I last got here. WI was good this week.....-3lbs! I think I am close to hitting my goal of 8lbs by Christmas. Is Aaron still keeping track??? I really need to go back a few days at least and catch up!

Hope you are all having a good holiday seasone so far. Christmas is just around the corner!!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

Just a real quick check in.......

Add me to the list of gainers. I'm up 1 lb this week. Next week I'm sure it will be worse. I was in full vacation mode today and ate my share of the sweets that some of our vendors sent us. It is also DH's b-day so we went out to dinner and I cleaned my plate, had white bread with real butter and even ate ice cream. I'd better walk, walk, walk and walk some more while we're in WDW this next 4 days.

Sparkie~ :hugs: and prayers for your mom.

Bo Peep~ Ditto for your dad

Gina and Danielle?? (sorry I forgot to write it down)~ OUCH! I hope you feel better.

Lynda~ glad to see you back. on the weight gain but a) You've got some great memories and b) it will come off again if you work at it.

Wendy (UMa)~ WTG on the school thing. I've been thinking abut going for something but I've been to scared to actually get started. You have lots of here.

Fran~ You're almost to the end.

I've got to get to bed, I have an 8:30 hair appt so I look bee-u-ti-ful for my date with Mickey this weekend. It's a total splurge from DH and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.

Hope you enjoyed the gaining, and that the weight comes off quickly now. The exercise sounds great!

Prayers for your dad are headed your way. Many years ago I told DH that I knew the reason they put Christmas in this time of year is because otherwise this season would totally suck.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Well Peeps I had a long, multi-quoted message typed out and POOF - it went!

Wendy - You will make a fabulous nurse!

Fidge - Welcome Back!

Pixie - Congratulations to your DD

Sparkie - to you and your mum

Lynda - Welcome back!

Kat - I would LOVE to see pics!

Many, many apologies to those I have missed - to all that need them.

Well, the Christmas parties are officially doing me in. I went to one last night, drank minimal and ate all in sight. Sausage rolls, chicken, chips, dips - you name it, I inhaled it!
I did weigh in yesterday morning and I am UP 1LB. Not as bad as I thought, Im glad weigh in isn't this morning.

I also have my works annual Christmas Party tonight - I would like to say I will be Peepish but that would be untrue! We are having a three-course Christmas meal - and there will be cocktails. Lots and lots of cocktails.

Have a great day everyone

 

[Sparkie]

You have my prayers. I never realized how powerless I am over thing until my Dad got sick. I had to trust all the hospital staff and pray for t hose caring for him. I did realize and see that God is the one in control and the best I could do was to supportive, encouraging and value every second God gave me with him. My siblings that were not present were not given the grace and blessing to be at his side.

If Dopey were there have you considered the drama he could create and that would drain your Mom. SHe needs all her energy and positive energy and prayer that only you can give her. SHe would probably be worrying about him instead of herself. It may be a blessing in disguise.

You and are Mom are in prayers. God Bless you and your family.

Before she was intubated and sedated she asked about him and stated that he could at least come and see her. mom is blind to his behavior

Sparkie,
This sounds all to familar with what happened to my mom. I will pray for her and for you that she makes a quick recovery. But like the Fidge said it is God who is in control. Be glad that you have had the blessing of having a mother so long. Mine died when I was 22 and 9 months before my wedding. It has been almost 19 years since she passed and I still miss her everyday. Many blessings to you and your family.

im so sorry that you lost you mom when you were so young. and you are right.... we should all be thankful for any amount of time that we have with our loved ones because you never know what tomorrow may bring

Sparkie, I will be thinking of your mom.

SParkie~

I will keep you and your mom in my prayers! I guess your Brother could use some too! Does your mom understand what is going on or is she kind of out of it with all the sickness and medications?

she is heavily sedated and doesnt respond to us at all but I hope she knows we are there

Can I ask why your DD wants a c-section? I'm glad her new doctor is nice. She needs that.

she doesnt want to labor. so basically the same reason someone chooses to have a natural birth or a water birth or an epidural birth- personal choice


for your mom and you


Plus my mom has been sick as well. She has pancreatitis (we found out a couple of weeks ago) and I'm really worried about her. I went online to search about pancreatitis and some of it is scary to read. I talked to one of her friends this morning and she said that my mom told her this morning that she's going to another doctor. I don't if that's for a second opinion or what. Please keep my mom in your thoughts as well.


I hope your mom gets better. I know how you feel about being worried

Sparkie, peep pixie dust to you and your mom.

Sparkie, I just saw your post. Your mom is in my prayers.

Sparkie, I'll be thinking of you and keeping you and your mom in my prayers.

WOW. . . My dad is going through the same thing right now! I just flew to out to be with him, so I'm not weighing in this week. They thought his was just pnemonia at first, but then realized he'd had a heart attack initially, and that the pnemonia came on soon after (he's diabetic and had a "silent heart attack").

Good Morning Peeps! I am behind on the thread and need to catch up.

Hi guys. Our hard drive went out on our TV satellite system.

Two people who have been married for 25 years, at home together, without TV. It's not pretty.

 

[LMO429]

OMGosh! I want that!!!!!!

I would love if some of the peeps got the workouts, we could dedicate ourselves to it for 90 days and see what the end result is.

I can't wait to get it they said 5 to 7 business days!!!

it's seem similiar to power 90 concept, but I heard anyone can do it

I won't be able to afford it for a while I'm excited for you, though! You can be the guinea pig for ChaLEAN Extreme™ Circuit Training System.

I'll just covet from afar

Pakey- I'm SURE you old married people can think of SOMETHING to do with your time.
Maybe eat some Arby's? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaHDN3_X4QY

Ok, I hope its worth it, I just emailed them for an international postage quote!! I dread to think of the damage!

I have sinned bad with food - I'm not even talking about it! But pre-vacation clothes already tight!!!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

PS - while looking for the system I put "Charlene Extreme" into www.amazon.com (as its the name of the system!) . . . didn't half get a dodgy DVD title pop up instead of what i was looking for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I was doing it at home rather than at work!!!

Okay to all you Twilight folks! My friends from the other thread now have me addicted. Bought the first one yesterday and have finished it, and am considering running out to buy the others...

Squeal - don't you just Edward, I would run very fast and get ALL the books at once. And then once you are finished go see the movie.

I saw this commercial the other day and was laughing then

Well this weekend I committed peepacide. Saturday my cousin got married and let's just say they had a venetian table! I hope I spelled that right. They had TWO chocolate fountains, one milk and one white then you could put some fruit on a stick and voila - yummy. They had custard in a wine glass with some vanila liquid on the bottom, they also had assorted italian cookies and such, but what I loved the most was that there was a woman there actually making a canoli for you, right there. Either chocolate or regular. All that and that was just Saturday. I weighed myself this morning and it wasn't good but today it's back on the train.

Oh my, that sounds gorgeous! There is not one thing you mentioned that I don't want to eat right now! I could literally stick my face into a white chocolate fountain!
