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

[MA pigletfan]

Here's my early post for Friday. Down 1.4.
Now if I can just hold onto that throughout my visit with DH, and my trip next week.

Have I told you all DH and I are going to PA next week to meet some Disers? I'm hoping to see our own dear PixieDust and her sister Nsalz, and for those of you who know DisUnc, we are meeting him at Dorney amusement park, along with some of the blacklisted Disers who were on the forbidden site. I think alcohol is going to be my challenge on that trip. DH doesn't drink at all, so I'll just have to follow his lead.

Any of you who want to envy me on my summer jaunts, feel free. I know I am blessed. However, like probably everyone else on this thread, if you knew all of the details of my life, you'd probably be just as happy to stick with your own. Just sayin'

yay for your loss! Have a great weekend! Please tell me DisUnc was not booted from here!? His TR cracked me up!

Hey Peeps - just checking in.

Still eating horribly. Bought some slim fast for a "quick" fix for a couple days to get me used to eating less, etc. Usually works. I need to lose at least 10 lbs quick so I can buy some decent work clothes.

Today, I drove up to the area I'll be moving to and dropped off my apartment application. They said that they would call me within a couple hours to let me that I had been approved (background, credit, etc.) and they didn't. I don't have anything that I can think of that would keep me from getting a place so I'm probably just being a worry wart. I'm sure they just got busy and will call me tomorrow. I know I live in Florida so everyong thinks it's tropical everywhere, but this area really is very "beach-y". And has the cutest downtown area. I like it already. And I'm so excited to buy things for my new pad - it's keeping my mind off how nervous I am about starting my new job.
Hope all of you are having a great week! And not just with the "diet".

That place sounds great Shannon..good luck securing a place!!!
As for your baby dream..taht is funny! I have realistic dreams like that, but if I though i was really expecting I would pass out. I am just not in that "place " yet...at least not until after the wedding thank you very much! hahahha

This week has been the pits for exercise..i have been stomach sick ( reverse of the usual)..so i have been feeliing very sluggish and "bound up" ugh. hate it. i might not even weigh in tommorow .it depends. i know thats the easy way out but i have not been "myself" at all this week...eating hasn't been too bad though...
anyhoo..have a great day all!

Morning (well, nearly afternoon now) all~

I had a bad night; our mastiff puppy took up most of my space in the bed. I didn't sleep well and got up grumpy. I had to go to the gym and wasn't looking forward to it since I was in a bad mood. I turned out ok. I took the step class and I'm getting a bit better at it.

I had a bagel with margarine for breakfast, a piece of cheese and a WW choc chip cookie after my workout. (I want sweets when I'm done...... not sure why.) I had a turkey sandwich, 100 cal sun chips, frozen peas and appleauce for lunch. So far, I'm up to 10 pts; exactly where I try to be at this time of day. I usually have a fiber one bar for a snack (2pts) and then dinner tonight will be salad, WW 0 pt soup, a Healthy Choice chicken alfredo dinner, frozen corn and mandarin oranges for 6 pts. I can have a snack as well. All I drink is water, flavored with fake crystal light.

Hopefully I'll be able to stay away from the misc snacks that hang around ur workplace.

Have a great day everyone!

and a WW choc chip cookie after my workout.

Just wondering, are those good? I mean, they must be if you're eating them, LOL, but are they really good or just ok? I almost bought some last time I went shopping but put them back because I wasn't sure.


Good luck to everyone on weigh in day tomorrow!!!

Soooo many comments, people!

But, I have to share THIS little juicy morsel.

I often brag how I've never gotten a traffic ticket, right? Not here, but, trust me, I DO brag IRL about that. Or if I drive by some poor shmuck who's been pull't over, I will out loud (to myself) say "HA-HA!"

Well, Karma has a way of righting those wrongs, now doesn't she?

I have gotten pulled over before, true. A few times. FOUR other times, if you must know. And have managed to talk my way out of them

BUT, those particular "skillz" are wasted on straight women traffic cops!

Works well for the dude cops and the other lady cops , I have to say.
(Sorry Celery! LOL!)

Anywho.

A series of unfortunate events all happened within a short time of each other:

1. Got a LITTLE lost, as in took a wrong turn (as in missed my real turn due to whatever distraction)

2. Heard the little man I babysit, who I've literally nick-named "Blow-Out Boy", in his car seat behind me have a VERY loud diaper explosion (some of you know what I'm talking about)

3. Spilled my McIced Coffee (Lg, sugar-free-vanilla, YUMMMM) all down the front of my WHITE top.

4. Entered a CONSTRUCTION ZONE....(you know what's coming! )

5. Decided I may be going a smidge too fast so I decided to slow down--but before I decided to slow down, Miss Straight Lady Cop's radar gun had already clocked me at going 49!!!! FYI, It was a 25 zone.

SO! yada yada yada, it's a $432.00 ticket!!!! Received in front of my kids, even! Who proceeded to laugh WITH me the whole way home.



*Sucky-Wife Tip:

If you ever have similar bad-ish news which you need to share with your DH, do this! Call him while he's at work, in the company of OTHER people's DH's. This causes much manly co-miserating and softens the blow of the ticket price quite a bit. Except, he thought I said $132 (not $432!) at first and said, "That's not too bad!" and I thought, "hey, that was EASY!" while silently high-fiving myself. Then I realized he may not have heard me correctly and made SURE he knew my ticket fee. Again, luckily for me, he was with a bunch of dudes at the time. By the time he came home, he was just rolling his eyes at me and calling me a "Bad A_ _" .

And I can no longer brag about driving for XX years without getting a ticket

What town are you moving to or do you not want to say online I totally understand. You and me would get along so great, we both are worry warts, I blame my mother, I got it from her.

I'm moving to Martin county, florida. I do feel a little weird giving the actual city online but the county itself is very small so it gives you a general idea of where I'll be - stuart, jensen beach, hutchinson island, jupiter island (where tiger woods has a house or so my DB told me). In between Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties.

Oh and I got the apartment! My move in date is next Thursday! I got some very cute bedding at macy's today and adorable 4 pc place setting on clearance too. Not sure about the rest of the country, but down here macy's is having some AMAZING sales, starting today!

Wendy OUCH!!!! That's all I can say. That's 4 extra kids full time for a week OUCH.

Hi, all. i'm posting from the lodge at Asilomar. this place is beautiful. On the eating, I've been so-so. But I have been walking lots and spent 50 minutes in the pool swimming/treading water. the pool is heated, but not warm, and it's about 60 degrees and foggy, so you know I kept moving. I had the pool all to myself.
DH and I went on a boat ride last night and saw dolphins. It was very spur of the moment and romantic. When we got back onshore, I got a call from the radiology dept. They want to do another mammogram and some ultrasounds because they "see something." Bleh! I think it's just scar tissue from previous cysts, but it still makes me nervous. Please send pixie dust!

SO! yada yada yada, it's a $432.00 ticket!!!! Received in front of my kids, even! Who proceeded to laugh WITH me the whole way home.

Can you do traffic school? DS was nabbed for doing 35 miles over the speed limit, and traffic school erased the fine and kept it off the insurance. Hope that would work for you too.
And my "trick" when I have bad, stupid-me news to share with DH: I cry when I call him. I don't do it on purpose, but it always ends up that he thinks it's something serious, so he's relieved if it's "just money."

Oh, and DisUnc was NOT one of the folks blacklisted. He's a good boy, or so he says, anyway.

Glad you are having a good time...sending PD your way.

I want to hear more about the blacklisted DISers and the "forbidden" site...

I don't know about Traffic School. My case number isn't "in the system" yet. I plan on investigating that though.

GREAT wife tip! I'll keep that little pearl in mind JUST in case! I tend to not cry on cue, but laugh hysterically.

Well as soon as I went in the house the hostess poors me a Sangaria (I don't drink hardly ever) I had two glasses. I had pizza, brownie, spice cake, ice cream cake. I blame the alcohol.

alcohol does that to me too. it enhances your appetite and tends to make you let down your guard as to what you're putting in your mouth!

This week has been the pits for exercise..i have been stomach sick ( reverse of the usual)..so i have been feeliing very sluggish and "bound up" ugh.

hope you're feeling better!

SO! yada yada yada, it's a $432.00 ticket!!!! Received in front of my kids, even! Who proceeded to laugh WITH me the whole way home.

OUCH!!! that's a heck of a ticket. but since you haven't gotten one in so long maybe the judge will let you do community service or something. good luck!

well, this morning started out great as i ran 2 miles on the wii fit. then i had a deposition at 10:00 and we didn't break for lunch until 2:30!!! how can i eat small meals/snacks and keep my metabolism going like that??? the only place nearby for lunch was a chinese place so i had mongolian chicken for lunch. i haven't looked up the calorie count yet - probably just destroyed it! but i was stressed and didn't have time to worry about it. i did get steamed rice instead of fried and i didn't eat the eggroll, so maybe it wasn't too terrible.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

And I can no longer brag about driving for XX years without getting a ticket

This was me too! Actually, I didn't brag because I was afraid of it biting me in the you-know-what. And I still got a ticket a couple of years ago for failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign in our subdivision, which I am pretty certain I actually did! And I had a straight lady cop too! What is it with them?

Oh and I got the apartment! My move in date is next Thursday! I got some very cute bedding at macy's today and adorable 4 pc place setting on clearance too. Not sure about the rest of the country, but down here macy's is having some AMAZING sales, starting today!

How exciting! Congrats!

I am weighing in early b/c I am going out of town this weekend. My husband and I are staying at a plantation that is supposed to be haunted. One of his vendors at work gave him an all expense paid weekend, meals and tours included. I hope they're not trying to get rid of us! Have a great weekend!

Oh I'm so jealous! Where is it? The only one I can think of off hand is the Myrtles Plantation...and another one in St. Francisville (but I'm not sure if that's real or not - it was in a movie). Have a nice time! You HAVE to report back on any ghost sighting when you get back.

 

[Piper05]

We are staying at Rip Van Winkle Gardens near New Iberia, LA. There is a plantation home called the Jefferson House on the grounds. We are staying in the servant quarters. My sister and I are planning a Halloween trip to the Myrtles. My husband refuses to go. He wanted to cancel this trip after I told him there were "sightings" reported on www.laspirits.com . I told him it would be rude to turn down a free trip. I will let you know if I see anything!

Aww, the boat ride sounds so nice.
I'm sorry about the call from the radiology dept. I hope it's nothing but my thoughts are with you.

Hi everyone,
Just checking in quick. I am up this week +2.8!


I just don't get it! One week I am up and one week I am down! Is this normal? I am feeling really low right now! I guess I shouldn't complain I am not at the weight I started at so that's good.

Have a great day!

 

[honeymo78]

I am down this week - since I didn't look at the scale last week I'm not sure what my one week total is but for two weeks I'm -3 And this is even with feeling bloated from AF. I know that 199 is only another few weeks away. I think my new goal for vacation will be 190.

Punkin - I saw you mention the wii fit. How is that? Do you really get a workout on it? DH said he would get me one if I would use it. He'd even suffer through me using it in the living room.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Happy Friday everyone! Well, good news and bad news this week. The bad news is that I've come to a screeching halt on the Couch to 5k program. It's not that I don't want to run, but I'm trying to get all of my landscaping projects finished in a timely matter since I've still got ~2-ton of stone sitting in the street. So I've been working every night to remove the grass/sod along our walk and in front of the house so I can get the stone moved. This leaves absolutely no time for recreational activities like walking or jogging.

However, the good news is that I managed to lose 1.4 pounds this week! This loss gives me a grand total of 18.4 pounds lost in 2008, 55.2 pounds lost since starting on the Peeps (hello new bling!), and an uber grand total of 79.2 pounds lost since March 2005. That represents a 33% loss of body weight. My weight is now 160.8; that is 5.8 pounds from my Labor Day goal of 155, and 15.8 pounds from my ultimate goal weight of 145.

Let's see some good numbers everyone! And have a great weekend all!

Well, I'm not sure I'd ever consider myself "normal" when it comes to my weight, but I've been through the same thing many times. I know the feeling of having a few good weeks in a row, then you have one bad week that completely wipes your progress away. What I normally do when I'm yo-yo'ing like that is take a step back and analyze things. Am I tracking all of my food/calories/points? Has my exercise routine gotten too "routine"? Have I been eating the same meals day in and day out for a month? A lot of times I'll find something that I can change up a little bit in any of those categories. Not only can it shock your body and your metabolism, but it helps to keep things fresh and fun, which helps me stay motivated. (But of course, what works for one person might not work for everyone.) I guess the only thing I can say is stick to it! Eventually you will see results, even if they aren't as fast or dramatic as you would like.
