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

[DisneyLaura]

Hey peeps. Just thought I'd let you all know that I do still exist. A new baby in the house sure changes things. Everybody is doing well. Little baby weighed 9 lbs and 1 oz on her 1 month visit. (she gains as quickly as I do). DD goes to the doctor this week. She is doing well. She had a rapid weight loss. She lost 22 pounds in the first 2 weeks (dont we all wish) and is only 10 pounds from where she started but she said she isnt going to try and lose it. Honestly the extra 10 looks good on her. She was probably too thin at 5'2 and barely tipping over 100 anyway. I'm holding steady. Havent lost any more and havent gained either.

Found something on our cable network that may be useful.... we have the "Fit" channel and I scanned through and there seems to be aerobic type stuff, toning stuff, yoga, hip hop so after DD gets clearance from her doc to begin exercise we are going to check it out. Its so much eaiser to be motivated to exercise if you have a partner. or so I think it will be, I have come to the conclusion that I just hate to exercise, I hate going to the gym, I find it boring. So maybe this will be a real option.

Hope everyone stays well. I'll check in from time to time. See ya!

Glad to hear your DD and granddaugther are doing well. Are you going to post any pictures of her? I understand if you don't want too. We have a fit channel too of course I only saw it flicking by it,

I am going to start walking next week around my neighborhood. I am also going to start to run doing the couch to 5K with DH. He worksout downstairs in our basement with weights but he gets no cardio so he said he tried to run in our driveway (we have a long drive) and he said he ran three times and had to stop so I showed him this program. I would like to start running because my ultimate goal is to run in WDW marathon some day.

I found out that one of my journalism articles passed the state competition and is moving onto nationals! I was the only one from my school and if it is chosen at nationals I might get to go to NY over the summer!

Congrats that is so cool

But I still have a problem with drinking enough water. I always push people to drink water but I still don't have enough myself. I don't mind water, the problem is I'm just not really ever thirsty. When I remember it's in the evening and not enough time to drink my 8 glasses. Any suggestions?
I usually drink one at school, and maybe one when I get home, but that's it. (I drink a lot of lipton green tea though, it's a powder stuff I make in a pitcher.)

This is what I do, before lunch and dinner I drink a 8 oz glass of water before I eat. Now I drink a lot while I'm eating so I just keep filling up my glass. I would say I probably drink 3 glasses of water during my meal. I would try at least drinking a glass before you eat each meal and then try to increase it to one after too along with the other times you have it.

Sparkie...Congrats on the new baby! I bet she is absolutely adorable! Glad to hear all is going well with the new baby around. It certainly changes the dynamics of the house! We have the "Fit" channel too, but I forget about it. I'll have to start checking it out!

I dont know how to post pictures. But there are a few on my facebook page that my daughter put on. If someone can tell me how to do it here, I'll get DD to post a few. She usually just downloads straight from a file in the computer or I've seen her plug the camera into the computer and do something... way to technical for me. (I spent 45 min with a man from India, chatting me through how to remove the TrendMicro 2005 version from my computer and load the 2009 version. I had been paying for a new subscription every year but never loaded it into the computer.... I thought it did it all by itself... so computer applications is not a strong point for me... LOL!!!)

Yea, the Fit channel is looking like a real option. DH cancelled my part of the gym membership since I never went and he is only paying for himself to go. Another cut back in this YUCKY economy. Please pray for our country, our leaders whether you agree with them or not, pray for those that are less fortunate and are experiencing hard times. LOVE YA!

Thanks.

Sounds good to me, I'll have to try that.

Sparkie -The only way I know how to post pictures is to get a photobucket account and load the pictures from there. If there is a way to get them from the facebook to here, I'm not sure how.

I'm -1.2 this Friday. I was hoping for 2, but I'm not complaining!

 

[lovealldisney]

Good Morning! Happy Friday!!

I'm down -2.4 this morning!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!


Aaron are you planning any Brewer games this year?? I put in for opening day lottery but wasn't chosen. But I was able to purchase Marquee games early as a thank you. So my family and I are going on Mother's Day, thery're playing the Cubbies. Should be fun.

 

[the Fidge]

Fly by.....Down -3 lbs

 

[LMO429]

Hello!!!! I'm DOWN A HALF POUND!!!! Yesterday it was more must be sore!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Hi all! I've been missing, because I have been sick as a dog with an upper respiratory thing. Felling a bit better this morning, but have to try to remember to not overdo it today. Never even checked in last week. So today I am -3.8, but that is really for two weeks. Hopefully feeling better won't make me eat eat like a pig and gain that all back next week!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Sparkie - Im glad you are enjoying your wonderful granddaughter

This week I am -2lbs

Off to take my bags of clothes to the charity shop!

Have a great day everyone

 

[UGABelle]

Just a quick fly-by this week -

I'm up +0.2 which is okay with AF here. I was hoping to make a dent in the pound I gained last week, but oh well.

I did give up all desserts for Lent, so maybe that will help a bit!

Hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Just a quick check-in to say I am +2!! I guess that's what being home is doing for the past week. I have been drinking sooooo much water... I hope it's water gain, but I think that is wishful thinking. Been real busy trying to tend to all the things that were neglected while I was travelling, so I'm not quite back into my routine... maybe this week?!

Glad to see all the other posts so far are down.... keep it going!

 

[Pakey]

Hi guys. I'm -1 which was a total surprise considering I had a hot fudge sundae earlier in the week right after going to the dentist and learning I have to have 3 crowns next week. The good news on that is it is the last 3 molars I have to be crowned. Yup, wearing braces for 12 years did a number on my teeth.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'm down .6 this week. That puts me at 197 even. I wasn't that good last weekend, and AF is here, so I'm OK with that. Yesterday I spent some time on Sparkpeople editing my fitness goals and manually entered foods. I actually got a higher calorie allotment per day than I had before because I hadn't updated the fitness minutes since I started doing my 60-minute workouts. I already had been eating a bit more than it was telling me because it was so far from the 12x calorie counting formula, but now it makes more sense. Anyway, I was really good yesterday, and I'm heading into the weekend with a good attitude!

On Sunday I get to pick up my prints which have been on display for the photo competition. And that's also when the photos will be in the local paper!

I also got tickets for a No Doubt/Paramore concert in July, and the seats are gonna be great! I'm SO excited! No Doubt is my favorite band! The tickets were a little pricey, but I've been waiting for years for them to tour again, so we're going. That means I'm going to see both of my two favorite bands this year - Fall Out Boy in May and No Doubt in July!

Sparkie - glad to hear everyone's doing well! I'll have to check out the pics on FB.

SnowWhite - Congrats!

Everyone - Hope you all have a great weigh in day!

 

[HockeyKat]

I am -1.2. Not great, but still on the downward trend. That is 11.6. lbs total for February. Here's to hoping March is as good!

 

[UtahMama]

I'm "up" a little, depending on when I weigh...with last night's buffet dinner still in my gut. I should be down since I was "good"...other than 1/3 of a chocolate cup cake and one slice of pizza and a 2x2 cube of lasagna (LOL!). I did manage ONE full on workout this week .

Hey....I enabled my PMing feature on the DIS, just in case anyone ever needs me (outside of facebook).

What a great and relaxing day!

 

[HockeyKat]

Hope that it goes back down for you Wendy!

BTW, I am on facebook now, so anyone I haven't friended yet who is too, PM me...

 

[ArielSRL]

Just a fly by as my guy is on his way over. I'm +1.2. I didn't do so hot this week. Gotta get better next week.

 

[punkin413]

i totally forgot to weigh this morning. i will weigh tomorrow and post, i promise. sorry, aaron!

fly by as i was in a deposition all day today and i'm really swamped with work so i'm trying to proofread 4 depositions and get them turned in tomorrow. no time to read but i will try to later! hope everyone is having pretty numbers!

 

[pjlla]

I am -1 this week. I was REALLY hoping for a much better number this week, since I did really well with my eating... but I definitely didn't exercise enough. I need to kick it up a notch if I am going to make my personal goal of reaching my target weight by my birthday in June! ............................P

 

[UtahMama]

Today being "free day" in my head, I made chicken enchiladas from scratch tonight.

And I wont mention the Margaritas I'm making soon.

I did throw away the rest of Riley's birthday cupcakes I made 2 days ago, so as not to be tempted.
