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

[dwheatl]

Thanks. Not always though. August was a rough month for me. I went up and down and when all was said and done, I only lost 3 lbs the whole month of August.

I'm not really doing anything different then anyone else. Counting calories, walking and drinking water. LOL I'm afraid the only reason I'm losing now is because I have SO MUCH to lose. I'm sure before too long I will reach a point where it's much harder and I'm only losing a pound or half a pound a week.

But think of how much closer you'll be to your goal then. So it's all good!

Counting calories and drinking water and walking????That's crazy-talk!!!! Hmmmm... so crazy it just might work!
You're still a rock star for keeping on going! 3 pounds for August is still awesome!

Forgive me Peeps, for I have sinned!
Today is my 41st birthday and I had a
BIG
MAC
!!!!!
​

Not to mention the Banana Cream Cheesecake I made for a "birthday cake"

That BiG MaC was soooo delicious! It had been YEARS! I didn't even obsess about the 560 calories and 30 grams of FAT I'll HAVE to burn off tomorrow!

I swear, in the past I've gained on LESS! (not kidding or exaggerating!)
But armed with my beloved cardio machines that tell me how many calories I'm burning, those occasional indulgences are HISTORY!

HI All~

I'm going to take a pass on the weight thing for a while. Labor Day weekend hit me hard; I undid pretty much everything from Aug....... We are trying to buy our house; in the middle of a mortgage crisis........ (Those who have been here a while may remember that my DSis owns it.) And lastly, my MIL died very suddenly on Thurs morning. Her death will give me strength and motivation when I'm more together but right now we are still in crisis mode.

I'm currently in NC dealing with all the necessary evils that accompany such an event. The funeral today was so hard. Unfortunately I think tommorow is going to be harder as they (and possibily me) will have to talk about all the financial realities and on of they boys may prove to be difficult to talk to.

So here I am, stress eating and surrounded by good old fashioned Southern hospitality and cooking..........

I remarked to DH's cousin (a fellow WW devotee) tonight "There is a God and He sent vegetables." Unfortunately, I could see butter and other greasy goodness in each and every bowl.

I've got to run.......... Take care of yourselves Peeps.

I hate that there's so much to deal with after a death, when we really just need to stop and grieve. Good luck with the difficult brother. And hugs for your DH and whole family too.

I'm still keeping up with writing everything down. It's helping with the mindless eating.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!

i say go for the big mac. it's your birthday - calories don't exist!!!! (kinda like when you're on vacation.)

hope you have a great day.

(by the way, has anyone ever noticed the perverted pictures you get when you search for "happy birthday cake" on photobucket???)

And lastly, my MIL died very suddenly on Thurs morning. Her death will give me strength and motivation when I'm more together but right now we are still in crisis mode.

sorry to hear this! i know these things are stressful enough - dieting should not be your concern right now anyway. i will be thinking of you and your family.

No I haven't but let me go see, curious minds.

 

[LMO429]

So Friday Morning I was running around like a complete lunatic, I was trying to get as many errands and wedding errands done before I had to leave for montauk for the weekend. While I was packing for my friend's bachelorette party my cell phone rang I went to run and get the phone and I tripped crashed in my sliding glass mirror in my closet, gashed my shin and thought I broke my foot. My dad rushed me to the emergency room and I fortunately only had a severly sprained toe. The doctor told me to stay off my feet as much as possible if I want to be fully healed by the wedding which is in 13 days...so basically i am missed the bachelorette party so i feel completely miserable about that and I am stuck in my house completely useless when I have a million things I could be doing right now....so frustrating especially when I want to get my final wedding workouts in!

Im just thankful that after 2 days of complete rest and not being on my feet I can finally put pressure on my toes..I was worried sick all weekend I wouldnt be able to put my wedding shoes on....my fiance told me this happened because I have been going NON STOP for over a month with the wedding planning and it was a sign to chill out..i guess he is right!

Thank You! Virtual cakes ROCK!
I know those cake images! I think they're funny! But I'm a teensy bit perverted. My favorite cake isn't twisted, but it's the Walmart cake in which the person doing the decorating was a 'little bit special'... (search words: "WALMART CAKE")

I'm trying to get motivated to go burn off the big mac, and the (double) Mojito, and the slab of banana cream cheesecake! I have on a "New and Improved" Turbo Jam infomercial on...GAH, I want those abs and hips!!!!! There's now "sculpting gloves" involved!!! Mama like!

Have you seen cakewrecks.blogspot.com? My fav website.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (a bit late) And I agree, calories don't count on your birthday.

LMO, sorry to hear about your toe. Hope that it heals up nicely in time, but bummer on the bachelorette party.

Noni, so sorry to hear of your loss. If you are close to R/D, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Okay, off to clean, do laundry, go grocery shopping,etc. Hope everyone has a great day!!

[Wonders10]

Happy Belated Birthday Wendy!

LMO - Major Ouch! I'm sure it sucks but at least it wasn't anything worse. Although sometimes those "small" sprains are just as bad and annoying as the biggies. Hope you're back on your feet and in your pretty wedding shoes in no time!

Ok, so I am ashamed to even be calling myself a peep. I've been eating a disgusting amount of fast food - to the point that it isn't even a yummy treat anymore, it's just gross. I stopped attending my WW meetings because they were run horribly and not motivating at all. Unlike most WW centers, the employees have never even been on weight watchers and therefore have no idea what it's like to be fat, trying to lose weight and be on the program. I guess it's privately run or something. So I cancelled my subscription and I'm counting on a couple things to keep me motivated:

1. My peeps
2. My mom - who is going to meetings back home
3. the WW website (the message boards are filled with great info)
4. my newly booked trip to Ireland in June 2009!

I just got back from Wal-mart (seriously, why do I torture myself by going to that crazy store on a Sunday?) and I bought healthy snacks and fixins for easy lunches and dinners since I really do not ever feel like cooking when I get home from work. My goal for this week is to stay "on program" all week. Then next week I am going to add in a walk through my complex 3-4 times a week. Maybe more. Then go from there. Oh and I only have one small can of diet coke left and then I'm off soda. Didn't buy any at the store today.

As for the new puppy, I sent in the application and a woman from the kennel called me a couple days later. Nothing exciting was said but I've been thinking and thinking about it ever since. It would come home during my Christmas vacation from school which is good timing I think since I'll be home a lot. And I'll be at my mom's a lot too so he/she will get to know Phoebe and vice versa which is really important that they get along. My mom thinks that I should wait because I used to get frustrated with Phoebe when she had her moments of barking incessently for no reason and also because I would have to wake up extra early to take the dog out in the morning, or make sure it had some exercise if I went out at night for dinner or something. Yes my life will change but it's something I am willing to do in order to have a dog. I like the companionship of a dog and I also think having a dog will get me more active and in the community. I just feel like all the reasons she is against me getting a dog right now are things that won't necessarily change a year from now. But then she tells me that she understands completely my desire to get a dog because she knows how nice it is to have phoebe around as a little companion. Such a big decision for me.

Good luck with your decision! I know exactly how you feel, DH and I have two dogs and they are totally the lights of our lives!! They are the best little companions, always there to cheer you up and look happy to see you, and as you say great for exercise as you have to take them out each day!! And I always think exercise in the fresh air is somehow better for you than doing aerobic DVD's in the house!! Its probably not, but the thought makes me feel better when I am trying to march through the rain and wind!! (Not that I don't do DVD's as well, I am SO enjoying the Turbo Jams recommended on here!!)

 

[Disneyfreak92]

i'm having a "girly" weekend too! well, at least sunday i am. anna and i are having a spa party like the one i went to a few weeks back and posted pictures of. i can't wait! i'm sure we'll get lots of free stuff for hosting a party. plus we spent $170 on food today for the party. the reason i said i'd be fully back on the wagon on monday is because i know i have no chance on sunday! plus i still have some chocolate left over from the italy pavilion at epcot from my trip to disney last week!

does anyone else wonder why these crazy reporters like to stand in the wind in hurricanes????? WE KNOW IT'S WINDY - YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE IT TO US!!!!!

Have fun at your spa party! Sounds wonderful!

I know exactly what you are talking about! Last week at work a co-worker called me into her office to show me a you tube video (We do actually use you tube in our office for work-related purposes. ) in which the reporter was standing on a dock, and these waves crash into it and break the stairs as he is running up them to get away from the waves. I don't get why he had to be standing on the dock in the first place! He makes it to the top, and the view is exactly the same with him at the top of the stairs instead of the bottom. It is funny though, as he says, "Oh! There goes the stair."

7 more days until vacation!!!! Woohoo!!!

Did you see my other post? Or perhaps I missed a reply? (Which is entirely possible right now) When are you at WDW? We fly out on Thursday and we're there unitl Tuesday.

Forgive me Peeps, for I have sinned!

HI All~

I'm going to take a pass on the weight thing for a while. Labor Day weekend hit me hard; I undid pretty much everything from Aug....... We are trying to buy our house; in the middle of a mortgage crisis........ (Those who have been here a while may remember that my DSis owns it.) And lastly, my MIL died very suddenly on Thurs morning. Her death will give me strength and motivation when I'm more together but right now we are still in crisis mode.

I'm currently in NC dealing with all the necessary evils that accompany such an event. The funeral today was so hard. Unfortunately I think tommorow is going to be harder as they (and possibily me) will have to talk about all the financial realities and on of they boys may prove to be difficult to talk to.

So here I am, stress eating and surrounded by good old fashioned Southern hospitality and cooking..........

I remarked to DH's cousin (a fellow WW devotee) tonight "There is a God and He sent vegetables." Unfortunately, I could see butter and other greasy goodness in each and every bowl.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! I hope the rest of your family is doing OK. I'll be thinking about you all.

Oh no! That stinks! I guess it's good that it wasn't worse, but still no good. I wish you quick healing. Pixie dust headed your way.
