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

[UtahMama]

Hey everyone, I thought being Disney fans, you might like to see some pics of a cool car! My DH took them of a car he saw in the parking lot where he works. It's a Mickey car and it's so neat!

I didn't really know where to put the pics where they wouldn't get buried, so I put them on the last page of my TR if anyone wants to take a peek:

OHHHH my goodness! That is one sweet ride!

that's really cool! my family would think i'd TOTALLY lost it if i showed up in a car like that, but i want one!

Yes they would....so? LOL

Hi Peeps!

I got back from WDW yesterday. It was insanely HOT but definitely fun. I'm back now and ready to get back to what I started prior to my trip - eating right, getting healthier and losing tons of weight.

Oh and while I was on my trip, I got a very unexpected phone call from the ESE coordinator for a school district down here. She has 2 positions open and I have a phone interview with her tomorrow morning. And I have another phone interview on Wednesday for a different school district. So that's 2 promising opportunities. And hopefully a third, the director has been out of town and I am supposed to call her tomorrow to follow up. Please send PD - I want and need a job!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Yay! Good Luck!!!!

We went to Petco for cat litter today... and came back with a kitten. She is 10 weeks old and we haven't come up with a name yet... frontrunners are Athena, Arwen, Dory, and Yzma. Our current cat is a bit like, what did you DO? but hopefully she will adjust soon.

Here are some pics:

I vote for the name Yzma if she has an "attitude" LOL. Cute kitty!

Cat #1 will get over herself soon

This weekend was a mess. I was so cranky on friday due to lack of sleep. I'm still having trouble adjusting to the puppy even though we've had him for over 3 months - 5 to 6 hours of sleep just doesn't work for me. He really needs to stay asleep past 4am. Long story short, I had real soda for caffeine since there was no diet and a big hoagie. On the plus side I only had one serving of dinner. Sat I tried to skip lunch b/c I knew we were having pizza for dinner but I got a "no food" headache and ended up eating a chicken caeser wrap. Another plus though, I didn't eat the whole thin crust pizza - only 2/3 of it. Its a step in the right direction. While I love the texture of the thin crust, 2-3 slices just don't fill me up the way a regular crust does. Sun too was a mess. Bacon, eggs, and toast for brekkie (sunday is our big breakfast day), cereal for lunch....then we went out to dinner with my mom and brother and I had a big prime rib and real soda.

Oh well, its a new week and hopefully I didn't do too much damage. Goals for this week are to keep up my water intake - at least 3 32oz bottles a day at work, one serving of food at dinner, and nothing more than a granola bar for a midday snack if I need one.

Oh and in other happier weight loss news, the 18's I finally broke down and bought back in the spring are now quite loose, particularly in the rear. I'm hoping that by the time there is another good sale ($10 dress/work pants) I can jump into the 14s.

Oh NOO! Oh well, pick yourself up and start again

Good on the water goal! I really have to work on drinking water more. I drink 2-3 bottles while at the gym. But at home, I'm more likely to taint that plain water with Crystal Lite or green tea. Whatever, keeping away from the soda is hard for me sometimes!

Great news on the baggy pants. I love that!

congrats to your girls!!!!!!!

Sorry, I read this entirely different than your intent!

You crack me up, Punkie! (Even on accident)

Argggghh!!!! I am starting to get so mad at myself when it comes to my weekend overeating!!!! I'm sick and tired of busting my butt during the week only to watch it go down the drain on the weekend...fortunately I have not been gaining weight and staying the same but I still want to lose 8 to 10 more pounds before the wedding and at the rate i am going that will not happen! On the plus side I am usually bad with eating Fri/ Sat and Sunday and this weekend I really watched Fri and Sat but Sunday was pretty horrible!!!!

I am getting annoyed writing the same thing every monday when I post on this thread (that i did bad on the weekend)

i need some tips for how to stay in control on the weekends...Its easier for me when i dont have so much going on but lately there seems to be a party or event every second of our weekends and i am having a hard time controling myself

We all know the feeling! Weekends are soooo hard!

YEAH FOR WENDY! I like water but not plain water unless I'm really thirsty. I have been putting these protein packets from Special K in my water (I use the packet with 64 oz of water instead of just 16 oz). They are no points for one packet so I feel that I can drink my water better but yesterday was a totally Diet caffeine free pepsi day, no water at all. Not good.

Also I wanted to wish my little guy Nicholas happy birthday today. He turned seven today. He's getting so big so fast. I actually cried yesterday buying him his present in the store. Good thing no one saw me.

I love those Special K water packettes. They actually do take the edge off your hunger.

I LOL'd at your "caffeine-free" diet Pepsi...I am still a BIG caffeine fan, *sigh* but now it's mostly iced coffees (McIcedCoffee) and green tea.

Happy Birthday Nicholas!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Shannon...Good luck on the interviews! It's nice to get an unexpected call while on vacation! I accepted my present job while down in Hilton Head!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS!!! ​

They do grow so fast!!! Laura, enjoy him now, because your in an empty nest before you know it!!! (Like me!!)

Playing the waiting game with the house now. We are still planning an open house for Sunday, but are still hoping an offer comes through before that. It looks promising!

Did the 1mi WATP tape today to get myself started again. Realized that I will go to the 2mi tomorrow, as it was easier than I remembered. By next week I am hoping to be doing Jillian Michaels DVD's! The really kick my butt!!!!

Start the new hours of 3-11:30 at work today. It'll be long, but I am glad I am full time!!! I am also looking at the WW meetings near me and am thinking of rejoioning again. (It's been years since I've gone to meetings!) Still need to talk to DH about it.

Hope you all have a Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da day!

 

[LMO429]

Laura! Nicholas is 2 cute!....Happy Birthday to him!

Today I did Barry's Boot Camp Arms and Abs workout plus the 20 minute cardio section where I thought I was going to die!

trying to not eat processed food as much as well. I usually eat a lean cuisine sometimes for lunch but i am going to start cutting things like that out. I just read Jillian Michaels making the cut book and the importance of trying to eat the least amount of processed foods as possible.

so instead of eating fat free pudding or my one hundred calorie cookie snack pack i ate a banana for a snak ..and I will have nuts later.. not going to live the rest of my life like this but i need to kick it in gear for the wedding.


i also just booked my flight for next May to WDW!!! We are going to go May 9th and stay in port canaveral for one night. then from the 10th to the 14th I will be on the Podcast Cruise on the Disney Wonder! and then we will be at the beach club from the 14th until the 21st...I cant believe I got my fiance to spend a whole week at disney after the cruise..but i think he was kinda of bummed he didnt get to go to disney when i went on my bachelorette party. my brother and girlfriend will be spending the week with us in WDW as well...Cant wait!

Hi everyone!

Happy Birthday to Nicholas! He looks like a real cutie and yes, they do grow up too fast.

Good luck to all this week!

Here are some pics:

She is SO cute! I love Yzma! That's a great name. She might need an attitude to pull it off though.

OMG......i don't know what i'd do if i had a schedule like that for the remainder of the year!!!! i have to have a day where i don't leave the house at least once a month or i go nuts. i don't know how you do it!!! good luck!

I don't know how I'm gonna do it either! We are now planning on going to a Cubs game on Labor Day weekend too! But there are still parts of weekends available and a few whole weekends free. I keep using my paid leave for Disney, or I would take a day just to veg!

Lynda: When you figure out cedar point let me know.

We are going the weekend of August 23rd. We arrive LATE on the 22nd, will spend the day at the park(s) on the 23rd and most of the day at the park on the 24th, and then we have to head back that evening because Josh's sister has class on Monday. Are you still thinking you can go?

Back from WDW. Had a great time. Girls did good on their dance stuff. The competition was WOW!!! My girls were in 6 numbers and got 3 first place, 1 second place, and 1 third place, and 1 fourth place. I was very proud of their performance.

Disney was great. Really hot. Crowded but some days not as bad as others. Had some great meals and some that were just ok.

Anyway- glad to be home.

Welcome home! Congrats to the girls!

i need some tips for how to stay in control on the weekends...Its easier for me when i dont have so much going on but lately there seems to be a party or event every second of our weekends and i am having a hard time controling myself

I feel your pain here. I am trying to do better, and I know I did better this weekend than I did last weekend, but I still need to do better. We also have a LOT going on over the weekends in the summer especially. Next weekend we are going to the county fair, and I think that will have to be my "cheat" day, but I am going to try to keep it somewhat under control. I might even try not to cheat at all. It depends on what is there. I plan on getting a grilled sandwich of some kind or something that is at least reasonable. I should have a lot of workout time this week, and I don't want to undo what I've done. I have a big goal for Labor Day, and I need to work hard to reach it. I'm trying to think of something to do to help me make better choices on the weekends too, and I think one thing I might try is committing to posting on here what I eat on "cheat" days. Maybe if I know I have to post it here, I'll be less likely to indulge as much. I used to post a food diary here every day, and I don't think I need to do that during the week because I pretty much have that down, but maybe I should share my cheats. It's worth a try anyway.

Also I wanted to wish my little guy Nicholas happy birthday today. He turned seven today. He's getting so big so fast. I actually cried yesterday buying him his present in the store. Good thing no one saw me.

He is such a cutie! Happy Birthday Nicholas!!!

Lynda: We will be in disney Aug 25-28, I don't know if we can swing that although it would be a good cover cause the kids don't know about it.

Nooooo way to much to do before a trip to be at a park like that.

there's still time in the spring I guess.

The pillow is adorable!!! Almost wish I was getting married again to do it with a Disney Flair!!!
Also, I grew up watching the Mets and that is a perfect garter for the Mets fan!!!

Worked my first second shift last night and got home at midnight. I'm tired today, but I guess my body will get use to it.

Punkin...Are you still working at the restaraunt part time? I can't remember.

News on the house...The people who love our house haven't made an offer yet. The DH wants to look at 2 more before they committ. From what their realtor said, they have already looked at ALOT of houses and he is sure this is the house for them. Who knows what's stopping him from making an offer.

Monica...I didn't know you were going to WDW in August!!! How cool is that?!? The kids will be very surprised!

I like doing Turbo Jam, but that workout looks HARD!!! Everything is so slow!!!!! In reading it, it looks like it's a 90 day plan, but well worth it!!!

 

[LMO429]

It doesn't look as fast past as turbo jam, but I think it probably is the same concept as a power 90. 3 weeks of intense working out using various muscles on different days with cardio intervals and then one week were you give your body a rest which will never give your body a chance to adapt and therefore you burn more calories.

i'm looking forward to it after years of walking on the treadmill, elipitical, taking spin and step classses for hours and hours, weeks and weeks and not losing any weight and wondering why? it was because i had no muscle..muscle burns fat..im not saying i never do cardio but weights are huge in making a difference..(at least fo me)...and yes you are right it doesn look hard!!!

[Wonders10]

Afternoon Peeps!

Thanks for the PD on my job interviews! The one yesterday went well, I think. She said she should be letting me know by Thursday which is good - not too long to wait. I have another one tomorrow for another school district.

Hi all! I think I've got everyone's weigh-in numbers on here. Let me know if I missed you...

Aaron - I just finished the second week of the Couch to 5K plan this evening! What a coincidence, huh? Amazingly (because I've never done a lick of running before) it's becoming SLIGHTLY easier. Tonight I ran on our treadmill, which was much easier on the shins than running on the streets. Good luck! Do you have a specific race you're hoping to run?

I felt the same way about it getting easier after the 3rd day of Week 2. But then I did Day 1 of Week 3 on Sunday – oy veh. I struggled mightily with it. Maybe it was just a bad day for me, but I was pretty miserable by the end of my 2nd 3-minute run. But I completed it, which is all that really matters. A few years ago I wouldn't have even attempted this. And no, I'm not looking at a specific race. I'm just doing this to change things up a bit. I usually walk 4-5 miles every night; but I think my body got used to it, so I wanted to incorporate a little running into my exercise. Although, a friend of mine who is a recreational runner keeps telling me that there are 5k runs all year, even in Wisconsin. And he's threatening to sign me up for one in November with him. But my long term goal is to able to complete a 5k without passing out afterwards by this time next year.

Have a great day everyone!

HI aaron..you missed me..i was down.4 last week..not much, I know..but i need that loss lol!!

i also need to find wedding shoes! it seems the latest craze is to get a pair of manolo's or jimmy choos for your wedding dress...which i dont get spending almost 500 to 1000 on a pair of shoes no one will really even see???????

no, don't do that if you can help it! i bought my wedding shoes and haven't worn them again in the 6 years that i've been married. also, get comfy shoes. mine were really high and about an hour into wearing my wedding dress my feet were KILLING me!!! you don't realize how much a wedding dress weighs until you stand in one for 6 hours in really high-heeled shoes!

and since I am a huge Mets Fan I got a Mets garter as my something blue!

you can see it somewhere on this link
http://www.letsdancegarters.com/index.php?crn=236

love this idea!

Punkin...Are you still working at the restaraunt part time? I can't remember.

nope. i worked there for about 2 months and then got REALLY busy with court work and transcripts, so i quit. i left on good terms though so if i ever need to go back i can.

good luck with the house!
