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! :rotfl:
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!


What an amazing honeymoon you have planned, my girlfriend who is getting married august 30th is going on the same exact honeymoon as you!!!
 
The wedding is 2 months from today!!!! I have a bbq today I am already mentally prepared to eat as healthy as possible!

Yesterday I did not workout instead I stuffed wedding invitations for about 5 hours!
 
Wendy - I was down 1.2 lb last week (for your handy dandy spreadsheet)

Peeps, I have a sick obsession.... I havent been home from Disney but 2 weeks and was online researching when I could go again.... If I think of the money I have spent over the years on my addiction- I think I could have paid off my mortgage- But its only money, right? I cant tell my family or my coworkers about my Disney research- they already think I'm nuts.

We had a publix and a target open about 10 miles from my house today- I'm getting ready to head that way now and check out the specials.... Some of you may think 10 miles- but hey, when my parents first moved out to where I live now, there was 1 quick mart on our road at the ramp to the interstate and the closest grocery store was 20 min away so we have moved up in this big old world- We got a movie theater too! High and exciting times in ALABAMA!!! LOL!!!

We all have that obession here, I start planning mine five years in advance (of course all in my head :lmao: ) Great news on the publix and target.

I tried something new Wednesday night with dinner since I think I eat too fast. I tried putting my fork down and sipping my Splenda Iced Tea between EVERY SINGLE bite and it really and truly helped me feel VERY full. Plus I probably got tons more liquid in than I usually do.[/COLOR][/FONT]

I do this too. Before I even sit down I drink a glass of water, then during my meal I probably drink three to four glasses. I think it definately helps feeling full. I also do this with lunch too.

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.

:lmao: So that's how that happens.

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.

Great workout indeed but that must have been cool

Hi guys! I am just so excited, I have to let you know that I am meeting dwheatl and her DH on Saturday, when they come to the east coast! We are going to the beach together!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Danielle ----> :beach: Me -----> :beach: :goodvibes

A DIS meet cool

I worked with a woman who went to Egypt (I don't think a cruise but maybe she did that) and she loved it.
 
Oh I :love: Mamma Mia! I thought it was fabulous! I Love Julie Walters and she was just great in it!
That's good to hear! We are going to finally see it tomorrow. We were supposed to go last week but that got postponed. I'm really excited.




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



Wow, thats coming round quick for you! Mine is 4 weeks yesterday!
:yay: :yay: :yay:

About the water......today I finally filled up one of those little jugs that is supposed to be equal to the recommended daily water intake. So I know once I finish that, I've had enough water for the day. Or at least as much as I'm supposed to.

It's not easy to carry one of those things around so it wouldn't be practical for work or running errrands, but for around the house, it's so easy for me to just drink from that all day. I'm hoping it helps me keep better track since I am so bad when it comes to drinking water.


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! :rotfl:
Wow, how exciting!!! And exotic.


I hope you ladies getting married and going on honeymoons are planning to share some pics. :flower3: I just love wedding pics!!!! :yay:

Hope everyone is having a great week-end so far!
 

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

Wow! That's a lot indeed! It HAD better be perfect for that price.

That sounds amazing!!! I hope you have a ridiculous amount of fun, but I'm sure you will. I would love to go on a trip like that!
 
Hi, we left for up north on Friday and I didn't get to post my loss for Friday.

It was -3lbs.


I did fairly well up north. I even went for walk/runs. In Public. Twice.

I drove my walks to see how far I went each time and it was just under 2.5 miles. In my eyes I did good.

I loved the scenery, both lakes on each side of me. Very cool. If I lived up there I could do that daily.


Today I thought of you Aaron and wondered how your Couch to 5K was going?
 
I do this too. Before I even sit down I drink a glass of water, then during my meal I probably drink three to four glasses. I think it definately helps feeling full. I also do this with lunch too.

I am definitely going to try and keep it up! Unfortunately I get so bored with plain water so this is why I do the tea. I brew my own so I make a pitcher with caffeine and one without. I have the caffeine in the AM and then the decaf PM. I also add enough Splenda to the pitcher so it is equal to a cup of sugar. I don't like diet sodas so I don't drink those - not that they are good for you anyway and the tea has antioxidents.
 
UtahMama: Girlfriend! I'm UP +1.6 since the 19th. BUT, inches of fat are coming off with harder (heavier) muscle taking over. I am freaking amazed at how much of a change is taking place. I KNOW, eventually, the weight (number) has to come down.

As long as you KNOW you're eating right (or right-ish ) and moving your body more, I think you are FINE.

So many factors, big meal still in your gut? retaining water? monthly cycle fluxuations?

Next week you could very well be down a few!

Keep on keepin' on!


Thanks UM! :hug: I needed that! I just get so fustrated because I know that I am eating right and exercising and then you don't see results! I am totally PMSing today I feel if anyone looks at me wrong I am just going to go off on them! Plus I am wanting to eat everything in sight! :eek: Does anyone else get like this?


Ok I need some help in thinking of healthy choices for our STATE FAIR! I love the State Fair! I love State Fair FOOD!!! On top of having PMS! OMG :scared1: What am I going to do! I plan on calculating in a cream puff but only half because I know I can't eat a whole one! But we have a rib place in town that is called Saz's and they have a booth every year at our State Fair and I love their pulled pork BBQ sandwiches! YIKES! maybe I could share that one to? But then they have their SOURCREAM and CHIVE FRENCH FRIES! OMG they are awsome! Ok now I just made myself hungry! What to do What to do???

UGH! NOT state fair fare! NO way can I resist one of those corn dogs!

I should say load up on healthy crap before you leave, but who am I kidding! :rotfl2: Maybe just have a taste of your favorites? Don't know! That's up there on the resistometer!

Did you say pulled pork??? THAT is my flavorite! :rolleyes1
 
I know (;) ) y'all want to see what floats my boat...1960's-early 70's muscle cars (Chevs or Mustangs). This last Saturday we found ourselves at a CAR SHOW :lovestruc at a local ski resort. Since this is a family show we're running here, I wont tell you what these cars may or may not DO to me :rolleyes1

CAR PORN! (1964? Chevelle)

Yes, I know, Riley is getting that Jonas Bros. hair cut off today! (1960? Impalla)
Pict0063-2.jpg


Check out the good ol' boy in the back. He was semi-intoxicated and it was noon!
Pict0064.jpg


I'm smelling each of the cars! Mmmmm, old vinyl!!!!
Pict0060-1.jpg


Look! I got to get IN a SWEET Corvette!
Pict0054.jpg


One thing about the owners of these cars is, they LOVE when ladies FAWN all over their cars :cool2: The owner of the pink/white Vette was a 60 something sweet thing that reminded me of Dolly Parton :rolleyes:
 
Checking in again~

I did really well over the weekend. I didn't count points on Sat but I wound up skipping breakfast because I slept late and DH had a Dr appt. Yesterday I had to est pts for my coffee but stayed on track for lunch and dinner. I watched a movie and counted out my popcorn cakes so I only had 1 serving. I slept a lot for some reason. I did walk a bit on Sat; I had eaten too much for dinner and felt uncomfortable so I had DH let me out of the car a few blocks away from our friends' house so I could walk it off. I walked a bit more while reading a magazine when we were waiting for other friends to arrive.

I went to the gym this am. I hadn't gone since Thurs. I got on the eliptical and on the recumbant bike. If the machines are accurate, I did 3 miles in 30 min. between the two and then did arms and hip work on the weight machines.

We went to our local amusement park yesterday, and they have all kinds of goodies, including Dole whip floats. I rode some of the stomach-churners before lunch, and was able to avoid all of the temptations:crazy2: I love speed, so it was a pretty good trade-off. So my recommendation: Make yourself queasy on the rides. You won't look twice at those fries.

We're getting ready now to get on the plane to Philadelphia tonight. I am so excited. This is my first Peep meet! Wish us luck.

See ya in the morning Danielle! Have a safe trip. LizzY just made your PB&Js!
 
Hi everyone. I am back from my trip to the haunted plantation. Some of you wanted me to report any ghost sightings. We didn't see any ghosts, but we did have a spooky experience. I was in the bathroom getting ready to go out to eat. My husband was in the kitchen area opening a bottle of wine. He started yelling for me to come here. There was a cast iron tool set next to the fireplace. The poker was swaying back and forth. I asked my husband if he was trying to scare me, but he swore to me he was not. I thought he moved it in an attempt to freak me out. We stood there for a few seconds and watched the poker move. My husband said, "I'm not staying in a room with a ghost who will stab me with a (very bad word) fire place poker in my sleep!" Then it stopped swaying. I told him to walk back and forth by the fireplace to see if it would move, but it didn't. My husband was a big chicken the rest of the night. We had to sleep with the lights on. I do admit, there was a spooky feeling about that place. I woke up at least 5 times that night. I would sit straight up in the bed, wide awake. It was very strange. I will upload some pictures later. It was a very beautiful place with the most spectacular gardens I have seen. My sister and I are going to another plantation around Halloween time. Oprah and her friend, Gayle, stayed there a couple of years ago. It is supposed to be one of the most haunted residences in the country. :scared1:

This is so my kind of thing. I belong to a ghost hunting group and we've been to a few places. They go to lots of places, but they are so far away from me I can't justify the driving and the gas.

I can't wait to see your pictures.


Hi, I'm doing great. Thanks guys.

Isn't the blue one a Mustang??? That is my favorite car and brings back many memories of cruising with my BF in a 1966 White Mustang!
:hippie: Ahhhh...memories......

I :love: the Corvette too! Looks like a "Ladies" car. :lmao:

Went to the local amusement park on Sunday and went on ONE rollercoaster and was dizzy for about 20 min! :scared1: It wasn't the upside down part that got me, but the corkscrews! I am still determined to go on Rockin' RollerCoaster in Sept! (Yeah...gave in to fried dough and icecream too!:confused3 )

OK...I would be totally freaked and would have high-tailed it out of there! :scared1: I am such a woos! (Of course I also would have been praying to Jesus to protect us from any evil!)

Today I thought of you Aaron and wondered how your Couch to 5K was going?
Unfortunately, it has sort of stalled right now. I'm working on the landscaping on my house (removing grass, planting shrubs and flowers, weed guard fabric and stone on top of that), so that has been occupying my nights when I used to run. But I think I'm only a week or two from finishing everything up, so I should be able to get back into it.

I'm trying to get the Labor Day updated posted, but my computer is being stupid right now. Hopefully later this afternoon...
