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

[UtahMama]

I am -1lb this week - would have been more but I went to see Mamma Mia on Tuesday night and accidentally ate Ben and Jerrys Baked Alaska Ice Cream.....I dont know how it happened!

I hate accidentally eating no-no's!
To this day, I can not go to the movies without getting popcorn!
I tried it once substituting baby carrots! I was miserable and obsessive about the popcorn the whole movie.

Now, I don't add extra butter and get a small one (or share a larger one).

HOW did you like Mamma Mia???

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.

And now a random story. I've had babies on the brain recently. Started getting sentimental over an ex-bf when I saw him in some pictures on his facebook with some kids (not his) and I was watching tori and dean on oxygen right before bed (she is way preggers on that show) and just other little things here and there regarding babies. Well it has caught up with me because last night I had a dream that I was pregnant and in labor at the hospital. I remember the dr. putting some drugs in my IV to get my contractions going and then I started feeling very crampy and my whole family was sitting in the hospital room with me and I just kept pacing around. The thing that kept getting to me is how crampy and uncomfortable my stomach felt. Then the pain increased and the dr. said it might be time and I woke up. Just in time My stomach still hurt when I woke up. It freaked the heck out of me - obviously, almost 24 hours later and I'm still thinking about it.

Hope all of you are having a great week! And not just with the "diet".

I think it's funny you dream't about birth! I'd say starting a new job, apartment getting and shopping for, and something funky in the Slim Fast is messing with you

I wouldn't mind switching places with you for a day. Shopping for my new beach-y uber-cool apartment some how sounds like lots of fun

I just went for the nicest power walk and I am pumped. Can you tell?


Walk people its all that less the bag of chips.

Yay! You are so motivated lately! It's really contageous!

I'm home from Monterey, here for a couple of days before we hit PA.
I had the weirdest workout yesterday.
DH was in a meeting at the conference, so I thought I'd go walk along the beach. When I got there, a small crowd of people had formed, and a sea lion was sitting on the sand (they usually hang out on rocks or platforms in the water, where people can't get to them). I asked someone what was going on, and they said he was sick, and the Marine Mammal Rescue people were coming. They brought a big metal cage and used a net and boards to push the sea lion into the cage. I helped by carrying the net up the sand (it weighed about 40 lbs. and the sand was soft, which made going uphill a workout), and then helped carry the cage up the hill (they said the sea lion weighed about 600 lbs, but there were 7 or 8 people carrying him). Combined with my 50 minutes in the pool and hours shaking my groove thing on the dance floor with DH, I'd say I got a great workout yesterday. Today, however, I can barely move.

So I was just looking at the calendar and tomorrow is 2 months until the wedding day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow times FLIES!!!!!

I really need to start becoming more accountable from tomorrow until the wedding, I think I am going to start posting my workouts on the peep thread everyday and how much water I drank...does anyone else want to join me for the next 2 months posting exercise and water consumptions daily or posting anything else you feel that would keep you more accountable on a daily basis....even if no one is with me I think I will be posting more things like that to be held more accountable!

I have my first fitting at Kleinfelds this upcoming Thursday! I am a little nervous when I got my dress i weighed 142 pounds and they ordered me a size 14!!!!! today I weigh 127.5 pounds and I am super nervous the dress wont look the same now that I lost the weight!

I think once I have the fitting it will be a huge motivator that all the wedding stuff is really happening!!!

Wow, thats coming round quick for you! Mine is 4 weeks yesterday!
I'll join you in posting daily - I figure Ive got 3 full weeks to really drink the water, do the excercise - generally get my bum into gear!

So far today - 3 large glasses of water at work, just starting my fourth!
Tonight I will be doing 30minutes on the cross trainer, while I watch Criminal Minds on the TV!

PS - You will look FANTASTIC in your dress, I know it!

First of all, weigh in info! I am down 2.2 lbs!!! Yay - hard work finally kicking in. Not much time today. It's my wedding gig today! Gotta get prepped!

Had to respond to this! When my dress came in, it was too small - as in would not come close to zipping - 4 inch gap in the zipper, which was on the side. I had not gained weight. They even remeasured me and checked the size chart again, and they could not figure out why it wouldn't fit. And guess what! The dress had been discontinued! They said they would work with me as far as the alterations went, but I wanted to try to lose weight to make it better, so I went at it and scheduled monthly fittings to check progress. I had about 4 months. I didn't own a scale at the time, so I don't know how much weight I lost, but the only alterations that had to be made to the dress when I was done - hemming and shortening the straps! They didn't have to let it out at all! Don't worry too much. Seamstresses can do wonderful things. I'm sure you're going to look gorgeous!

I've been strict the last week and still I'm +2 for the week. Frustrating! I know it takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1lb. I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough. Maybe my metabolism is too slow...

Its good to hear seamstresses can do wonderful things! Considering Kleinfelds charges 600 dollars for alterations it better be perfect!

[ArielSRL]

Thank YOU!

LOL! It's steep because fines double in construction zones and I was going 24 over!

Ah, okay. Well, I still feel badly for ya!

Mmmm, sounds good. I think I'll grab a box next time I'm out. Thanks!

Let me know what you think!

 

[ArielSRL]

i'm a samer this week, i think. since i skipped last week for my birthday i don't really remember! but i weighed 134 this morning and i'm thinking that's the same as two weeks ago. the weight SHOULD be coming off because i am eating well and exercising. who knows? ray thinks i'm just supposed to weigh what i weigh now and that anything less is unhealthy. but it seems to have plateaued for sure. i'm going to keep trying though!

Well, we all know muscle weighs more than fat, so you are prolly staying the same because you are replacing the fat with muscle! I've heard that the best way to actually measure weight lose is by inches, not pounds - not that I do that. But if I had a measuring tape I would do it that way, as well as the scale. My scale does tell BMI and body fat percentage, so that helps a little when those numbers go down even though the weight may not.

 

[ArielSRL]

Thanks for the info. Right now I'm working from an office that doesn't have access to a gym so even the wii fit would be better than nothing. I hope I get transferred back before the end of the summer. And I hate going outside when its hot (unless I'm at disney of course) so some form of air conditioned exercise would be good. Although I could always get on the treadmill we have in the basement, but that's just no fun.

I rent workout and yoga dvds from Netflix and try that when I get bored with the treadmill. Just a suggestion.

Beth~ The cooies are ok, not great but thier better than nothing. I'll try microwaving them and see if that improves the taste.

I know. Don't you just hate it when you are sitting there trying to be a good little Peep; and before you know it, Ben is holding down one arm and Jerry has got the other. And they are force feeding you their evil ice cream. I've managed to avoid them for a while now, but I always see them lurking when I'm in the frozen section of the grocery store.

I'm sure either Edy or Breyer is holing the spoon too!!!

UMa~ Sorry abut the ticket. I got bit too in Apr; after 8 yrs 11.5 mos of perfect driving.

After gong to the gym and accounting for everything that I ate; I'm a samer. I'm stuck at 175. I'm going to keep at it and see what happens. If I don't lose, I don't lose.

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Sorry I'm late. I'm down 0.2 lbs. Not much but at least it wasn't a gain.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Your wedding is just around the corner!!!!!! Where are you going on your honeymoon again!

We are going to Egypt - a week cruising the River Nile and a week in a hotel in Luxor! I cant wait! Its not Disney, but it will be great!
Im so jealous of you going to Maui - how long is the flight from where you are? It would be like 16 hours from the UK, and we'd have to go via the US as well!

DD's birthday party was yesterday, and I over-indulged. I had real coke (which I love) after dinner (which I know better than to do) and now I'm tired this morning. Blech. I had a small lunch and totally skimped on dinner, and ended up at the high side of my calorie range for the day, so I'll take that. Back on the bandwagon today!

I did go out on a little bike ride (3 miles) so I'm feeling a bit more normal now. In 4 weeks I've gotten this into a habit (yea!) and am dreading my next business trip (to the Hilton with the most depressing workout room I've ever seen).

And I'm up 2 lbs this morning, too, from yesterday morning. Probably as a result of the cake and cookies and the soda. I'm a daily weigher but log weekly. The daily visits are so I don't end up with a bad surprise on Fridays. Now I know to add a few evening bike rides where I can this week. Rainy season wreaks havoc on my schedule!
