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

[ArielSRL]

ArielSRL: I went back to school to finish my degree in Special Education. Better late than never right? By Oct 2009 I am shooting for applying to the College of Education. So, I did things a little backwards. I currently run a day care in my home. I have for the last 11 years. First grade seems like a lot of "fun".

Yes, definitely on better late than never. Actually lots of teachers at my school are doing it as a second career. Most were in business before and hated it or had kids and changed. So you may find quite a few doing the same at your college or even at the school you end up getting a job at. And with that daycare experience, teaching should come quite easily to you. It is quite a bit of work, but very rewarding. We have several Special Ed classes at my school...probably around 10.

My dinner went well. I ordered the sizzling chicken breast salad. See I WAS a GOOD PEEP. I had 2 waters and I had 1 mic ultra and because my girlfrield won over $700.00 in those pull tab tickets, we had a lemon drop shot. Can you believe that?

She had a $500.00 winner and a $200.00 winner and severl little ones.

I started rubbing her arm for some good luck.

Please, tell me about this pull tab thing.....

I missed my run yesterday. I really missed it, so that's the plan for later today.

Have a great skinny Thursday everyone!

You always do so well with the exercise, I'm sure you got it in!

10 classes?! Wow!


Please, tell me about this pull tab thing.....

They have these machines in the bars and you just open up several tabs to see if you win any money. Very similar to scratch off tickets.


You always do so well with the exercise, I'm sure you got it in!

YES I DID!!!!

I'm practically addicted to it. Now that I am doing it consistently, I see a little loss daily. At the end of the week, it all adds up. If I can continue to lose 2 pounds a week, I'd be so very happy.


Here's to everyone having a skinny weigh-in!

Monica my aunt sends everyone a scratch off ticket for their birthday and this year I won $10. Congrats to your friend

Yeah. I knew it would

I'm - 1 lb today. Been busy the last two days with the kids. The boys are going to Vacation Bible School this week, today is their last day. They had a lot of fun too. Kept them busy for the week. They can't wait to go back next year. Off to Target today have to get a gift card for my DH's nephew, his birthday is coming up. He lives in VA so we don't see them but once a year.

I'm going to the movies tonight to see Momma Mia, having a girl's night out with my mom, aunt and cousin. I'm going to come back later on and check in before I go to the movies.

you are a trip!

LMO - glad you are thrilled about your dress! can't wait to see the pictures after the wedding.

i am a samer today. which i'm actually kind of thankful for since i didn't exercise AT ALL this week because of work obligations. i'm in court right now doing motions on a murder case....at least it's interesting.

Lots of great numbers so far. Let's keep it up!

Now if only I can behave at state fair this weekend!

I am drooling (ok, not literally) just thinking of those cream puffs. Mmmmm, cream puffs...

Anyway, it is weeks like this that really make me wonder why I'm not more careful on weekends. I was a pretty bad peep all last weekend (Brewers games all three days, with tailgating on two of those days), and then I was perfect all week. They cancelled each other out and I managed to lose 0.2 pounds (so basically I stayed the same). If I can do as good on the weekends as I do during the week, who knows what I could accomplish. Oh well, what can you do except for try a little harder next time.

Have a great day, and an even better weekend everyone!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I am down 1.5! I am well on my way to hitting my Labor Day Goal!!!

Life is busy...DD is home next week from CT....2nd shift is whipping my butt as I am always tired it seems! <sleeping angel> I feel like I have no time to catch up with all of you. Just know that I am always here is spirit even when I don't post!

Off to pay bills, exercise and get ready for work! Happy Day All!!

 

[MA pigletfan]

LMO--I hear ya. I am sure i will not be seen in my dress till the wedding day either..except for the people that go with me to pick it out ( aka mom and maid/matron of honor)

I have to quote a line from one of the best musicals of all time IMO , Fiddler on the Roof.." Wonder of wonders..miracle of miracles..." ...i happened to be a loser of .6 this week! Seriously..i know its puny but i was SHOCKED. I have only worked out ONCE and have been only 80% good with the diet..must be losing muscle ..oh well..i'll take the loss anyway hahahah
happy friday all!

Ok I gotta ask you guys opinion please! My hubby and I are contemplating on trading in our mini van for something more economical.

So far the cars we have looked at and test drove are:

Toyota Corolla- Didn't like it

Mazda 3- liked it had a sporty feel to it

Honda Civic- liked it felt roomier than the Mazda 3


What other smaller cars would you recomend? We are looking for something reliable and good gas mileage. Something not to fancy just standard features. Any suggestions would be so helpful!!

Thanks Guys!

All I know is my husband turned in his Dodge Durango for a small Dodge Avenger. He gets 33ish miles to a gallon as opposed to the 12-15 from the Durango.

I like it. It's hard to get used to being low, but it's still nice.

I just like my minivan.

I'm going through this same thing right now. I've got an old Tahoe that runs great and is dynamite in the harsh Wisconsin winters. But it is painful filling it up in the summer months when I don't need such a big vehicle, so I'm starting my preliminary search for a newish car with better gas mileage. Anyway, my wife loves her Corolla, but you've ruled that one out. I've always been a big fan of Honda. The Civic (and Accord) are about as reliable as you can get in a used car. I'd also look at Hyundai (I think the Sonata is their smaller car) and maybe Subaru (Consumer Reports seems to like the Forrester and Impreza, but I can't recall how big they are and how they do on fuel economy).

Hi everyone!! Congrats to all those who lost this week. There was a lot of you!!!

I was 237.6 last week and am 233.4 this week, so I'm down -4.2 pounds.

I hope everyone has a great day today and enjoy your week-end.

I would be so bad at Chili's. I love their Spinach & Artichoke Dip. But I guess that wasn't the help you were looking for, huh?
