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

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Well, the Bellagio does the most. All the hotels will have some sort of holiday decoration up, but not as much as you'd think. I was surprised and slightly disappointed by that last year.
My theory is they don't really want to remind you that it's almost Christmas and you should be out buying presents instead of losing all your money at their gaming tables.

Will you have a car? If so, also consider taking a drive out to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory one night. (or maybe take a taxi depending on cost) They have a 3 or 4 acre cactus garden that is all decorated for the holidays. It's spectacular. And on select nights they have Santa, carolers, and they give out samples.


Also, if you've ever been to Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney, they have one in Planet Hollywood as well. It's one of our favorites.

OK, I'll hush up about Vegas now. LOL But if you have any questions feel free to ask or PM me if you want.

Thanks so much for all your help!! I'm really looking forward to coming!!

The mom of my youngest son's best friend died yesterday from her bout with breast cancer. We were diagnosed around the same time but she was not as fortunate as me. I just can't help thinking about her 4 children and the holiday season they are going to have.

OMG, that is so sad. I just hate hearing things like that.

Add bananas and it's a fruit serving!

Even better. Now it keeps you warm and is healthy to boot!

Thanks so much for all your help!! I'm really looking forward to coming!!

No problem! Have fun!

Ahhhh, sorry!!!! Married-for-a-while Peeps need a little Arby's now and again. Not just on birthdays. Add some Horsey sauce for kicks. I don't know what I just said, but it sounded naughty, so I like-y.

"ELMO"!!!!! purrrrrfect! (poor Lauren! )

Who watched The Biggest Loser Finale last night! Now don't get me wrong I find it amazing how much weight the contestants lose especially when I am trying to just lose 15 pounds....but for some reason last night I just want not as impressed as I have been in the past!
Phil and Amy I thought looked the best!

Last year Ali was the biggest loser and she was completely ripped when the confetti fell! There was something about Michele that just didn't do it for me!!! Next season looks amazing though and it starts perfect timing right after new years!

I have to agree lauren. I am very happy that Michelle won though, she seemed like a nice girl.
I am psyched about BL coming back so soon in January..PERFECT timing. I think "santa" is bringing me Jillian dvds for Christmas..so i will be all set to go towards my wedding goal..akkkkkkk!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyLaura]

just a quick drop in....

mom doing better. she is still very sick but she is slowly improving. they removed the breathing tube yesterday and she now has oxygen by face mask. she did have a heart attack. mostly she is very weak. but she is still scrappy.... under the influence of her narcotics this morning she told me that if she wasnt so weak she would get up and run out of that place..... i know its not funny but it was because i could see a glimmer of the fight in my mom.

thanks for all your thoughts and prayers

Robin- aka Sparkie

Glad to hear mom has a sense of humor, that's a good sign.

I don't think I ever knew your name either

Hey there peeps...I have been internet-less for over a week. I am dying trying to catch up on everything. I did weigh last week, better late than never I guess. I am down 1.2

Off to read back a few pages and try to catch up!

Hi, no internet for a week Glad your back.

I hope everyones having a good day! Twilight opens here on Friday

YEAH

That does sound naughty but in a good way

That's so tough around holidays to him and his family

I knew banana splits were good for you

That's what I say about skittles.

I thought Phil and Amy looked great almost didn't recognize them until they started to talk. I was happy that Vicky didn't win. she just urked me.

 

[UtahMama]

Phil and Amy ROCKED! Amy and her, uh, red dress (sticky tape, for sure!). Is it just me or was Phil HOT after?!

I LOVE how everyone looked so FIT! I was so excited! I only lost like 6 pounds total in the time they all lost over 100.

ANYone but Vicky or Heba or Mr. Heba would have been fine with me. They were too "High School" to me. Poor Phil!

Loved Michelle and Renee too. CUTE!




Heyyyyy! Muppets are on tonight

Mom doing much better. they are going to move her to a regular floor possibily tomorrow. it doesnt look like she will be home for Christmas and she is getting sad about that but I told her we would just have family Christmas when she came home.

Pakey- i'm so sorry to hear about the mom who lost her fight with breast cancer. it is so sad that those children have lost their mother but i think losing a love one at this time of year makes it even harder.

I really thought i might lose my mom this year. As i think back, if she had waited even just one more hour to go to the doctor- i think i would have.

This board is all about improving our health. So lets all take a look at ourselves - me included- find that motivation - it doesnt have to be about losing weight but just about making 1 little change at a time to live healthier. That one change could be- no carbonated drinks, eating more vegatables, exercising some- cause some is more than none, what ever .... the point is to make one change at a time even if it is a small change eventually it will make a difference.

I have a hard time with this- i think that is why we are all here- we have found others that are like us that finding the strength to make that first small change feels overwhelming. so with the support of our peeps lets all commit to making one small change for a healthier new year.

I love you guys so much-

Robin

I have GOT to get back into my hard core groove.

January 1st is almost here. Geez, I just need to get through Christmas/New Year's Eve/and the ever-famous-Superbowl-spread without gaining anything.

The treadmill is my friend. So is my healthy kitchen (minus the current treats getting packaged for "neighbors" and friends, but I'm sick of all the treats I've made).

Maybe we all should give this some thought and come up with our BIGGIE change for the year. ONE habit that has been holding us back.

My list is pretty long, but it's been whittled down some this year.

I know that I want to continue strength training because I've experienced first hand results. Still want to "eat clean", ETC., but some tweaking is definitely in order.

As for my habit, I want to give this some thought before I rush to post something.

Glad mom is doing better.

I went to the last of my holiday parties (until I host Christmas) today. It was all appetizers and sweets, and I feel sick. It was my first time trying red velvet cake, and it was too good. I came home feeling sick, but I made myself get on the exercise bike. I burned off 300 out of God knows how many calories. Anyway, tomorrow is back on the wagon. I'm going to have to find a good home for the treats coming in from students and colleagues. I'm thinking the custodian, because he burns about a million calories a day cleaning the school, plus he has 2 grandsons living with him.
I'm off to shower now. The sweat is starting to freeze (yes, it's actually at the freezing point in sunny CA).

to all who need them.

Kelly, I loved Rutger Hauer in LadyHawke, probably filmed when you were an infant. After that, I've got nothing. You'll have to tell me what it is that scared you though; my interest is piqued.

Pakey, its the eyes! I only remember seeing him in Blade Runner and Blind Fury - I didn't make it to the end of either film!

Whats holding me back? Laziness. Im ashamed to say it, but when it comes to exercise I am so lazy its not even funny. The thing is, when I start the exercise I love it, and I feel so much better afterwards for doing it - its just getting my bum off the sofa and doing it.
So, with the help of the Peeps I AM going to do something about it, and I WILL do the exercise.
for you Robin.


I hope everyone has a great day

I woke up today with a new attitude. I been reading through my food journals and I noticed that for some reason the last 4 to 6 weeks I was starting to get back my terrible "all or nothing" attitude and once again that attitude back fires on me. I think I am putting so much pressure on myself to eat "perfect" during the holidays that it winds up having the reverse effect...I eat 2 cookie the next thing I know I'm eating everything else in sight 2.

I woke up first mad at myself because almost a year of doing weight watchers I KNOW BETTER!!!!! I know I can have 2 cookies and it's not the end of the world...it's all about balance. My weight watcher week usually starts on Thursday so I am starting clean this week, I can't wait till New Years to start a "resolution"..... resolutions are BAD! having a healthy attitude and lifestyle is so much better than waiting till January 1 to make a resolution....so I'm back on weight watchers with a new attitude the attitude that allowed me to lose 25 pounds last year..It's not all or nothing! I can have cookies and cake and whatever else here and there but it's all about an overall balance. I know I can do it! If I work at it and I know there will be bumps in the road, but I just have to handle the bumps better. I heard Jillian Michaels say this on her podcast yesterday:

So on the road to fitness you hit a BUMP in the road and you get a Flat Tire what are you going to do??????? change the tire??? or SLASH the other 3?!?!

I know on my road to a healthy lifestyle it's all about my attitude. I got the exercise thing down, I even know how to eat right too..But its the mental attitude and overall balance that I NEED to work on and I'm taking the steps to work on that 2

I love this quote Lauren. You have a great attitude towards healthy eating and exercise, and thats what I need to do to!
You're right, one cookie isn't going to send me over the edge - balance and positive attitude!

You rock!

Very inspiring words I too am all or nothing, and at the minute I am all about the eating, and nothing about exercise or healthy eating!

I sadly am waiting until January as I have a vacation to get through as well as Christmas, and I have already piled so much weight on that I am too scared to weigh myself. I cannot wait for January 2nd when I get to eat something healthy again. I know when I get back I am going to be the biggest I have been since I lost weight to get married - and that is very upsetting.

I am preparing though - already done my online food shop for Jan 2nd with nothing but healthy foods, and have ordered three new exercise DVD's! Am still waiting for my international post cost for CharLEAN Extreme - wish it would hurry up as I want to order before my vacation!

I fear my heart will collapse and die of shock when it finally sees a bit of fruit again!!

Can I ask about your journal - I do a food plan and write what I eat and exercise - is that what your journal is or does it go further?

 

[MA pigletfan]

i am waiting till jan. too...i will sign up for WW online and absolutely follow it. Do you think its remotely possbile to lose 40 lbs in 10 months?? that is what i want to do!
