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

[dwheatl]

Morning my peeps!

It's a rainy day over here.

And I had to put the air on again.

My mom is coming to work for me and can't tolerate the heat well.

I have tests and physical therapy for my neck today. Yea on the PT, not so yea on the EMG. I don't like needles.

But my neck is causing my arm so much pain, I am happy that's it's finally here. In case I didn't explain before, I have 2 bulging discs in my neck. Not fun at the moment, they are wreaking havoc in my life right now.

I kinda put me on hold while DH was going through all of his tests and surgery. Now, it's my turn.

Have a skinny day!

A very gentle . I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

We're home. We got home around 2 a.m. then had to get up around 7 for the mammogram and ultrasound. I have to call my ob/gyn tomorrow to find out what they found. I am nervous, because the "thing" they see is up into the underarm, which is an area that I've never felt a cyst, so I don't think it's scar tissue.

I feel so groggy now, because I drank real coffee the whole trip, but I try not to do that at home. My weight is but I'm ready to get back on the wagon. You all have inspired me to write down what I have eaten so far today. I need to grocery shop, but have no energy. I might need a nap (something I never do).

danielle - good luck on the mammogram results. i'm sure it's all good. i'll be thinking of you. boy, i don't look forward to those mammograms!!!

i'm asking for a little bit of pixiedust for my furbabies tomorrow. i'm taking them both to the vet to have their teeth cleaned. a simple procedure, i know. but they still put them under anethesia and that just scares me because DH's mom's dog came home once from being under anethesia paralyzed from the waist, down. she eventually got better but it was so sad that she couldn't get around for a couple of weeks. she's never been the same since. plus sherman (my older beagle) is having some tumors cut off. so he's actually having some surgery, too. thanks for any good thoughts you send their way!

 

[dwheatl]

Good luck to your babies, Dawn. The drugs are always scary, but it's great that vets are able to give such good care to our pets.

Here we are, most of the way through the week and I'm finally finding my way back over here. I had a few hits and misses with the gym this week. I tried the abs blast class on Tues and I'm still feeling it...... ooohhhhhh........

I've been very good about counting everything and really paying attention to what I'm eating. My daily weight check shows it's working.

Gayle~ I work a swing shift (1-10) and have to brown bag my dinner. I like to have a salad, Progresso 0pt soup, a frozen dinner, veggies and fruit. Some days I really do eat all of that for dinner. I plan 5 pts for my meals and 5 pts for snacks through the day. For snacks, I eat a Fiber One bar (4 of the 5 are just 2 pts,) fruit, a piece of cheese, dry mini shredded wheat, pudding, a WW dessert or cookie, or a 100 cal snack pack (most are 2 pts). Sometimes I am hungry at night and want an bit more to eat and I try to get a low pt snack so I'm not making huge incursions into my flex pts. Yesterday I bought ice cream, a pack of WW cups and a carton of Breyer's Double Churn fat free carmel swirl. The Breyer's is only 1 pt per half cup.

Shannon~ It's moving day!!!! I hope everything goes well and you have a great night in your brand new apartment.

HoneyMo~ Sorry to hear about the accident but happily there was no injuries.

Monica~ Take care of yourself; DH has back problems and I know how uncomfortable he's been and how much his procedures have hurt. Go have another massage, that sounded wonderful. Thanks for the tip on the zucchini, I may have to work some into my lunch today...... hopefully I won't get to gassy.........

Dawn~ I hope everything goes well with the dentals and Sherm's tumor removal. In all my years at the vet's office I only encountered a few bad surgeries.

I have to run, the gym is calling!

 

[lovealldisney]

Ahhhhh!!!! It's someones birthday in our office and of course there are treats!!! I already caved and had a doughnut! But that is all! It all looks so good! I most likely stay away my stomach was really upset yesterday (like running to the potty not vomiting way) so I hope the doughnut stays put! I hope I can get to the gym today after work.

Have a great day!

 

[honeymo78]

I got some good news last night. For 5 of the 9 1/2 weeks before we leave for vacation I get to go back to my other office which has a gym (2 weeks there, 2 weeks here, then back again).

I totally need to be committed to going every day while I am there and hopefully I can lose a few more pounds before vacation. I am coming up nowhere near what I had hoped for - my willpower is really in the toilet. I'm also going to commit to only eat my lean cuisines for lunch, saving money and my health by not buying food. I think I'll pick up some progresso soup (Noni, what types are 0 pts? -even though I'm not on WW they seem like a wise choice) to add to the frozen meal in case I'm still hungry.

I'm still up over 200lbs and my goal had been 185. Maybe in 9 weeks of better eating and 5 weeks of added exercise I can drop 10lbs. I'm sure I would see a huge difference in the way my disney clothes fit with a 10lb loss.

Shannon~ It's moving day!!!! I hope everything goes well and you have a great night in your brand new apartment.

I can't believe you remembered down to the day when I was moving

Yep as we speak I am posting from my new apartment. I had to come up early because I had an appointment to get my fingerprints, drug screening done for work. Fun stuff. I'm gonna spend the rest of the day unpacking the rest of my stuff and try to find a home for all my junk. And then go grocery shopping so I can have an actual meal.

It was so weird leaving today. It felt like I was going away to college all over again. I'm definitely going to miss my mom (shocking to some I'm sure) and even living with her, but the worst was saying bye to Phoebe. She's staying with my mom - I think it's best for my mom to have her as a companion and my apartment is tiny and my schedule would just wreak havoc on her so she's staying put. This morning I was just laying over her, trying to smell her so I could remember her later on. A little dramatic? yes. And also pointless because she truly has no scent. Phoebe is unscented.

Danielle - good luck with the test results

Monica - ouch, that test does not sound fun. Hope you're feeling better today

Dawn - extra hugs for sherman and eli

Have a good day everyone.

I am so excited for you. I know it's a stressful time of life, but also exciting! Good luck in your new place.

Thanks for the wishes. I'm just sitting here, waiting to hear back from the doctor. I think I'll get on the exercise bike to burn off some of the tension.

Happy day before weigh-in, everyone. Drink your water!

I HATED that test!

It was aweful. I was literally a pin cushion and electrocuted. Not kidding!

I endured 4 C-sections and wouldn't bat an eye if I had to have another.


That, I will refuse to the end. I'd rather have another Spinal.


Uggghhhh!!!!!!

That sounds dreadful Electrocuted - not good!

and for the mammogram results.

Dawn I hope your boys are ok! Is the vet cutting the tumors today as well? I hope it all goes well

Shannon - On moving into your new apartment! When I moved out of our house into the house with DF I really really missed my mum, but I see her more now than when I lived at home!

to everyone else - also Wendy, Lex, Kat - where are you? I know there are tons more missing - are you all reading the new book?

Hope everyones having a great day

 

[monymony3471]

Danieele: Been thinking of you today, anything?

How does one gain 3 pounds over night? Ridiculous. I've been so stinking good. Harumph!

I didn't get to run yesterday, but I took the kids and we did walk. Maybe tonight I can go jogging.

It's so beautiful here. The weather cooled down, partly cloudy with the beatuiful white puffy clouds and gentle breezes. Hope some of this can come your way.

I'm here... just been interviewing like mad lately. I have had 7 interviews in the last 2 weeks while trying to fit in a full time job, a kitten getting spayed and declawed, and a husband that has been mostly out of town (which, come to think of it, may have made things a bit easier rather than harder! ).

Keep your fingers crossed for me, I am waiting to hear tomorrow on whether or not I got my dream job. I did a face-to-face with them on Tuesday and have been in regular contact with the HR lady, and have one more tech screen in the morning to make sure I actually know what I am talking about before they make their decision tomorrow afternoon, so just keep me in your thoughts tomorrow that all of it goes well.

It is such a perfect fit for me, I would be the lead (something I was hoping to find a "work toward" position and this would be it!), it is 5 miles from home, medical related (stability!), and I just really liked the company and the people.

I do have 2 other offers on the table and have a 3rd likely coming tomorrow, but this is the one I really want.

As to food and exercise, I have been better this week than the last few, but not perfect. I was right at 163 yesterday AM which is up about 3 lbs from my lowest of just under 160, but for now I am just trying not to gain.

I got a call from the doctor's office. They said they won't know anything until next week. What she literally said was, "The mammogram results won't get to the doctor until next week." I think that must mean someone else is looking at them, because they handed me the x-rays to carry over to the technician who did the ultrasound. So I know it shouldn't take a week for them to get to the doctor. Anyways, I'm trying not to be agitated or anxious, and trying to control my eating, since I went whole hog on vacation.
Thanks for thinking of me.

 

[abish19]

Danielle - I have been thinking of you, and I sympathize with how hard it is to wait for those test results to come back. We're all praying for you to feel calm and collected!

Kat - Good luck on the job! Having a work situation that you love makes all the difference.

I have to apologize that I haven't been on this thread much lately - reading, that is, but not posting. I guess it's because I'm not that proud of what I've been doing as a Disappearing Peep! I've recently had 2 pieces of motivation come my way:

1. I tried on some denim capris today that are a size 16 - and they were TOO TIGHT in the legs and waist.

2. I've been asked to serve as a bridesmaid for one of my oldest friends, and we had the fitting last weekend. The dresses AREN'T hideous, as most bridesmaid dresses are, but I think it COULD look hideous on me if I don't do a little "work." I have to lose 10 pounds to be "comfortable" in it, but that's okay - it's in August 2009. If I don't lose 10 pounds by then I'll be in sad shape anyway!

When I really think about it, I've done better in the last few days than I had been - exercising has gone well, and even though I haven't eaten LESS I've eaten BETTER food.

Thanks for listening! Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow!

 

[punkin413]

hey, guys! don't have time to reply to everyone because i'm taking care of a sick doggie and trying to catch up on work, but just wanted to update you guys.

if you sub to my TR, you may have already seen this, but we're home from the vet!!!!! both of my boys are exhausted and they're sleeping in the living room right now. we moved the mattress into the living room floor so sherman wouldn't have to worry about jumping on and off the bed for a few days. hope we don't have company! they're both exhausted but doing fine. sherman's poor little head is shaved behind his ear and it looks really funny. he only had to get stitches in 3 places: his arm where the bad-looking wart was, his back leg where they removed a fatty tumor that i decided last-minute i wanted taken off and one of the bigger warts under his neck. all the other tumors/warts they just lasered/burned off. so that's not too terrible. he's on pain meds and antibiotics for a few days, but he should be okay in no time. on the way home ray sat in the back seat with him while i drove and i looked at him in my rearview and he just looked completely spaced out......guess it was the pain meds.

the vet said that sherman and eli serenaded the whole office for awhile after they woke up from surgery. remember...they're beagles so when they bark they HOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL!!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

I made it back........ two posts in a day must be a record for me.......

Dawn~ Sounds like everything is right on track with the pups recovery. herman will be a bit sore where he had the largest incisions but other than that they will most likely be back to normal in the morning.

Danielle~ and ixiedust: for your wait.

Kat~ ixiedust: for the job offer. Hopefully it will come through for you!

Stephanie~ The soups are southwest veggie, homestyle veggie and rice, veggie and barley, veggie noodle and an italian wedding. I thnk my favs are the barley and the southwest. It took me a bit to get used to them and I had to add salt and pepper to them for the first couple of weeks. The cans all have WW and 0pts value on them. Each can has 2 servings in it.

Shannon~ Glad to hear everything is going well. I know you'll miss Phoebe, maybe in time you could bring her to your place. My sis has a tiny apartment and has 2 little dogs. She lets them zoom down the hall to th bedroom and back when she plays with them inside and takes them on walks in the neighborhood at least twice a day.

Monica~ I hope you got your jog in tonight.

I went to the gym this morning and actually took it easy as I am still recovering from my killer abs class this week. We went shopping with DSis because she needed some stuff and I haven't seen her in about 2 wks. Dh decided to go to lunch and we wound up having Jamaican. It was so bad for me....... Some of it was literally swimming in grease.......... Most of it was really tasty though. I decided to go really easy on dinner, so I had a side salad and apples from McD's. No almonds for the salad or carmel dip on the apples. I also went for a brisk walk in our complex. I didn't snack or nibble all day...... I was a bit too full to want to eat anything else.

Morning everyone!

Kat - on the job. I'll be keeping fingers AND toes crossed for you today!

Danielle - That stinks about the results taking so long Good thoughts are coming your way

Dawn - So glad your boys are ok! I bet it was so funny to hear them howl in the vets office!

Abish19 - Congratulations on being a bridesmaid! I find it a bit easier to lose the pounds when Ive got something to work towards!

Monica - Did you get your jog in? Weather sounds lovely there, last night we had a torrential rain storm!

This week I am a SAMER - My problem this week - I haven't eaten enough! I know, crazy! Ive been so busy with last minute wedding plans that ive neglected the eating/excercise! Well next friday is my last weigh in before the wedding (two weeks today peeps!) so hopefully I can do well this week and see a nice number next week!

Good luck for weigh-in everyone!

 

[lovealldisney]

Good Morning Everyone!

Kat: Good Luck! On the job I just know you'll get it!

Dawn: Glad you doggies are ok! I love beagles to our neighbor on the other block has a beagle and I can hear when he must be outside he just howls away! He is so cute and naughty! He likes to get out of the yard when ever he can we have taken him home several times he seems to like our yard for some reason.


Abish19: Glad you are back on this thread! You can lose the weight! We are all here for you


Well I am up just a tinsy bit this week but I will call it staying the same! I am up +.4 I don't think it's to bad. Considering Aunt Phlo came to visit this week and I was not feeling well at all and didn't get to the gym. Now next week I am worried about! I will be down in Iowa at the other house and I sometimes don't eat real healthy there.


Have a great day everyone!

 

[monymony3471]

I am down -.6.

That's so frustrating due to the fact how good I've been.

I know my exercising could be building muscle, I know, we all just want to see the numbers drop instantly!


Yes I did get my jog in, on the treadmill. It started to rain here! I couldn't believe it. No idea where that came from.

The upside, a mom who comes to bring her daughter once in a great while noticed I am losing weight.

I actually thought how nice it would be to join an adults women's basketball league.

I used to play in high school and loved it. Yea, in my spare time.


Classes start in a few weeks and I have 3 of them. 4 days a week.

I hope my profs are nice cause I have finals the week we leave for disney in dec and I won't be there. I hope they are willing to let me test early. I know some don't bend. I just hope I get the benders.



I hope you all have great happy numbers

 

[mousehouselover]

I am pleased with my scale today. It showed a 1 lb loss for the week!

Have a great Friday everyone!

 

[LMO429]

Hey Peeps! I have been super busy with wedding stuff, we are having a big bbq at my parents house for our friends/bridal party so I have been preparing for that as well. I'm a samer again this week...we all know my problem im awesome during the week and bad on the weekends and my weight stays around 127.5..which would be awesome if i wanted to maintain it but not so awesome when I want to lose more weight for the wedding...my biggest problem is the weekends and sacrificing...

im so sorry i dont have time to catch up on the thread right now to see how all the other peeps are doing..i hope all is well and i think next week I will hopefully be back to normal with my calendar and eating!
