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

[LMO429]

UTAHMAMA!!!!! I missed you!

Sounds like you have alot on your plate right now! Make sure you schedule in some "me" time

 

[punkin413]

a killer workout for $11 dollars! my new favorite

http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Micha..._bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1234928464&sr=8-1

just ordered it!

How good of dancer are you? I think once you get the steps down, you can max it out to your level. I just did the Single lady one (Beyonce) and it was short, but I kept mixing up my feet. I need cardio to burn calories and fat so just moving was great.

I have a Billy Banks that I tried once, that was killer.

i'm a decent dancer. i took all kinds of dance from the time i was 4 until i was 15 so some of it stuck. i'd like to try it! and yes, billy blanks is not easy! i did tae bo for awhile and it kicks your butt!!!

OK I admit it! We attorneys use this tactic with the witnesses, in order that they cannot go out and discuss the deposition with their attorney. Also makes the witness a little uncomfortable. It's a tactic you learn in law school. I apolgize for all of us for not giving the stenographer the deserved consideration! We get so caught up in the lawyering of the case that sometimes we forget everyone and everything else!

i really don't mind not taking the break - it's just that it would be nice to have a WARNING!!!! just tell us when you call in the job, "hey, we may not take a lunch that day," and that way i can have a bigger breakfast and bring a box of raisins with me or something!

Well, I'm still sick. I just can't shake it. My cough is so bad I had to take a sleeping pill last night so that I could get some rest. And to make things worse, we have cancelled our May WDW trip. My husband has no interest in returning to the World after our fiasco January trip. Geesh, I have DVC points coming out the wazoo, I think I'll be banking 500 pts into next year, even after having 5 rooms in January for the family. Do you know how hard it is to cancel a week at the Beach Club during prime pool time? My fingers were trembling. Oh well, maybe we'll get to Costa Rica later this year after all.

sorry you're still sick! i'm sure you will figure out the points. there are plenty of people out there willing to rent them!

kat -sorry to hear about your FIL.

wendy - hi!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Wendy! Great to "see" you here! We miss you!

I haven't had a lt of time this week. I've had appts for myself or DH every morning. I also haven't had time for exercise......... arghhhh.

Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a great weekend, 'cause it's back to work today.

Looks like the next goal date will be St. Patrick's Day. For completely selfish reasons, I'm saying the final weigh-in date will be March 13. I say that's selfish because we are going away for my wife's 30th birthday that weekend, and if I had to weigh in the following week it might not be pretty! This will be a short one - only 4 weeks. But that'll set us up nicely for another 4-week target of Easter (Good Friday).

I'm setting my goal at 2.8 pounds. I just want to be at 160 - is that too much to ask?!?

Sounds good to me! I'll take 5 lbs this go round.

Oh, and the first half of the year I don't seem to have much trouble losing... this year I need to stop from gaining it all back the 2nd half of the year!

I seem to do a better job losing the first half of the year too! Why IS that? I'm thinking we should have a New Years in July here on the Peep thead and pretend we're starting over again. Think that would work?

I'm that way too; gung ho for a while, do well and then start to slide and eventually just let go all together. I think a mid-year recommitment, 'new year new you' thing sounds great.

How awesome is your hubby. I wanna a tiara too. Where did he order from? I think I might do a little something for the kids when we go. It will be around Christmas time.

Ok guys my soaking is doing great Once the packing was out it felt so much better.

Laura; glad to hear you're feeling better. Sorry about the kiddos though. DH always orders through th WDW Florists. (I think he wa impressed when we toured their facility as part of The Backstage Magic tour two years ago.) There are tons of things to choose from at www.disneyflorist.com These look good for kids: http://www.disneyflorist.com/product/waltdisneyworldflorist-a-pirates-life-1/display

There is also a make yur own ears shop attached to teh new make yur own t-shirt shop in DTD. We are going to take the kids there to make their own ears. There are 8 different bases, 10-12 diff ears (mix and match) and patches to put on the hats. They're pretty cool looking. I need to plan something fo our DD's birthday and get DH a little something since Father's Day will be coming a few weeks after our trip.

Dawn~ Sorry your day got messed up. I hate it when someone throws a wrench in my plans.

Kat~ Your FIL will be in my thoughts. I hope you are able to do something fantastic with him before his health declines too much.

Faith~ I hate cancelling WDW trips too. DH says if we have to cancel it, it's for the best so we can have a great trip some other time instead of a so-so or miserable trip right now. Since he always treats me really well when we go, I guess he has a point.

Wendy~ Glad to see you! You've got a full load there; make sure you find a few mins for yourself. You don't want to get burnout.

Those dance videos look like a lot of fun. I'm not that coordinated so it will take me a while to learn the steps but I'd love to dance like that.

I've got to get to bed; night all!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Wendy - Wowza, sounds like you've been busy - we've missed you around here!

Kat - Very sorry about FIL

Laura - hope you're still doing ok

Everyone -

Punkin: So glad you got the workout! I have been doing one week of Chalean Extreme and then alternating another week of something else

On the top of the DVD box it claims lose up to 5 pounds in one week. Well last week I did The Banish Fat Workouts 3 times and the No More Trouble Zones 2 times (its Jillian other new workout) and I lost 3 pounds last week sooo it makes me think those workouts have alot to do with it

I am doing another week of Chalean and the scale is staying the same but I have to admit overall I feel tighter....going to do Jillian again next week to see what the deal is....bottom line is Jillian new workouts rock, It has 7 circuits the first time I did it during the first circuit I kept saying to myself this is easy..by the end I was gasping for air..its tough!!!! but great!

I haven't been logging on here in a while (couple weeks) because of travelling back & forth to CA, and I don't think it's done much for my accountability to myself!! I haven't lost any more, but luckily I haven't gained. Back at home for the next week... hoping to stick to my regimen a little better while I'm here. I've got one more trip to make out there, then I'm good until summer. Maybe then I'll have some time I can set aside to get to my gym. I've only made it there once since this hectic year has started!!!

Aaron... please put me down for 3 lbs.... I'm hoping that's do-able in 4 weeks with travelling included!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

If I can somehow manage to not screw up the number that I saw in my super-secret pre-Friday weigh in from this morning, then I'll be a very happy Peep tomorrow! I've been really good this week - I haven't cheated on my diet once, I've exercised every day alternating between resistance training and cardio. So I'm hoping it'll pay off.

Here's what I've got for the St. Patrick's Day thing...

Let me know if I missed you or if you want it.

Good luck tomorrow everybody!

I will take a moment here to re-introduce myself. Used to post here, but haven't been on this thread in months.

I started 2008 at an alarming number on the scale but with a Disney trip in the plans I was able to get on track and stay on and lost about 35 before my trip last April. THen, the MOST SURPRISING thing.... I managed to STAY ON TRACK for the remainder of 2008 and (almost) ended the year down a total of 51 pounds from my Jan. 1 weight! (That is down a total of 70 pounds from my highest weight in 2003.) I say almost because I gained 6 pounds during the two weeks of Christmas break and have been playing with the same 6 pounds ever since!

I need something to RE-motivate me and I hoping that jumping back here on the WISH board and rejoining the Peeps and getting in on a challenge will do the job. I have another 21 pounds to lose (including the stupid 6 I gained over Christmas). I would like them to be gone by my birthday in June.

So Aaron, put me down for 5 pounds by March 13... it will be a tough reach, but I need a lofty goal! Glad to be back with the Peeps.................P

Danielle. Have fun in San Francisco. Hope the weather cooperates.

Well, I'm still sick. I just can't shake it. My cough is so bad I had to take a sleeping pill last night so that I could get some rest. And to make things worse, we have cancelled our May WDW trip. My husband has no interest in returning to the World after our fiasco January trip.

And I have more time to lose these 10 lbs that will not go away.

Well, the whole trip was just like the SF terrain- lots of ups and downs. We went from torrential rain to sunny and 60 degrees. I ate great food and terrible food. DH and I snuggled and laughed, and he moped and I snarled. He informed me that he does not want to go to London and Paris this summer, something we have talked about for at least 5 years as a way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I haven't given up yet, but I feel sick at the thought of never stepping foot in Europe. I always dreamed of us going one day, and now I'm thinking, will I have to go with someone else if I'm ever going to get there?

I DID start partake in some seriously good margaritas a couple times (for medicinal purposes) which made me retain a ton of water and feel physically crappy.

Thanks for the reminder on the alcohol. I was so tempted to drink the last couple of days, but I remembered that the last time I drank, I had no idea when I was full and ate an enormous amount, and then felt sick after (and that was just with one margarita). Drinking just really does a number on my peepishness.

Welcome back, and congrats on what you have lost so far.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Up early this Friday morning.
I've been working hard and I'm -3.6



We went on a trip yesterday (Journalism competition, I placed second in my contest!) and out to eat and we ate our weight worth in chips and salsa so I'll be working that off this afternoon.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

-2lb!

Be back later!

 

[LMO429]

I'm a SAMER this week!

Congrats on the win and the weight loss!

Good Morning Peeps!

Well I am up this week +1.4!! UGH!! Good luck everyone and have a great weekend!

 

[UGABelle]

Morning Peeps!

I'm +1 this week, which I kinda expected after a Valentine's Day splurge weekend and AF on the way, but it stinks 'cause it's my first "gain" since the beginning of the year

Oh well, I'm back on track now and hope for good numbers next week.

Plus, I have a recently-planned trip to look forward to (see ticker below), so that helps me keep my goals!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Hurray! I lost 1.8 this week! First time I've had a loss in a month. It's also the first time in a month that I didn't sabotage my diet at all with mindless nibbling during the week. Funny how that works, huh?

Let's see some great numbers everybody!

 

[ArielSRL]

Quick flyby cuz, as usual, I'm at work; I'm -1.8 lbs (just like Aaron). Whoo hoo!

 

[2girlsmom]

morning, all. I am +1 today, but its that time of the month, so I suppose I should be happy it is just one, right? This week I spent a day & a half with migraine, so haven't been as good..but haven't really had much appetite either.

 

[Pakey]

I'm a SAMER. No exercise will do that to you.

Danielle, I'll go to London/Paris with you. That was our trip last year (with Disneyland Paris added on, lol) to celebrate my one year cancer free anniversary. It was so amazing, I enjoyed it much more than our 20th anniversary trip to Italy and Switzerland. Next year is our 25th. I really want to do an African safari but my husband isn't thrilled so we have made no definite plans yet.

Aaron, congrats on finally getting over that "hump" and seeing a loss.

Snow White, congrats on the 2nd in the competition. Way to go. And you deserved the chips and salsa. The salsa is healthy, right?

To all my other peeps, have a great day and weekend.
