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

[MA pigletfan]

You are not just beautiful, you can see (what we already knew!!) what a nice person you are, shining through that pic.

We all have those days.

Couldn't have said it better myself!


I certainly have to check out that disney store next time i head to NYC!!! It looks too fun!!

Ok gang i am BACK ON BOARD with peepdom..using sparkpeople again and everything...gotta do something to get this 10 days of vacation off of me!
i won't be able to work out too much this week..this rotten California-Cold is making me feel terrible. i can sort of hear out of my left ear, not my right at all..my nose is Rudolph like and I am SLEEEPY..could be the jet lag still though too...i only have about an hour left of work though then i get to go home make dinner and sleep. i am so looking forward to a homecooked meal..i mean i am only making Shake n' Bake ( ..and i helped ) but still...10 full days of NO home cooked meals..its a bit much!

Question about turbo jam..lauren i know you swore by it..but what is it exactly. is it like kick boxing sort of? I need to work on my sides ALOT and arms and if its anything like the tae bo tapes i used to do i think it would be up my ally!

Hey Peeps!

I have been avoiding the thread a little bit, I looked a couple of times and saw you guys talking about "Twilight" and I just bought the book to read on the way home from California (p.s. 2 xanax and an ambien later, I never even cracked the cover open because I fell asleep ) anyway I just kinda of skimmed the past couple of posts because I don't want to read anything about it before I give it a whirl myself.

Disneylaura! I agree with everyone else you are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I love the world of disney store! It's my disney fix when I can not get to the world. No worries about not being able to go to the places I recommended for you, next time you come to nyc check them out


GINA! I LOVE LOVE TURBOJAM awesome motivating workouts for cardio and I love the jillian michael workouts I swear by those.

Today and yesterday was the first 2 days in over 2 weeks I didnt eat over 5,000 calories We def went overboard with the eating on the honeymoon! But we are back home now and on track!

I have a disneyworld trip in May and a Las Vegas trip coming up to motivate me

Thank you both for the compliments. I'm in tears because I don't feel that way some days. I was really fighting over whether to post my picture. My hair was a mess and somehow my makeup came off. I only wear foundation, blush, eyeliner and mascara but it looks like I have nothing and I have no idea what to do with my hair, it just hangs there. So thank you again, you made my day. And I needed that. That's why I love my friends here on the DIS.

Awww!
Are those natural waves/curls in your hair??? GEEEZ! It's really pretty! I don't think it's just hanging there at all. My stupid hair is wavy underneath and straight on top...grrrr!

Laura- I'm glad to have helped "make your day". Somehow, you just made mine!

P.S. post more pictures!

Glad you're "back"!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I to am a HUGE Twilight fan!!! I got all the girls that I work with totally addicted!! Everyone is fighting over who gets the next book!!

I have gotten a few people hooked too. So far I have leant it to 4 people (if you count DH), and I have one person on the wait list. There's also 2 more people who are going to try to get it from the library!

Good Morning All!

It has been a beautiful weekend here...hope the sun was shining and the temps comfortable where you are. We enjoyed a craft show at Letchworth Park, a large state park near us. We walked alot and I made wise choices for food (chicken fajita wrap, water, pumpkin custard and a small piece of DH hot pretzel)). It could have been worse as they had every fair food available, kettle corn, italian sausage with onion and peppers, cannolis, italian pasteries, hot dogs...but I chose wisely and not much. Dawn, I thought of you and how well you did. Thanks!

Laura...that Disney store in NYC is amazing isn't it!?! Glad you got a Disney fix while in NY.

I think I am heading to the library today for the Twilight books. DD was suppose to loan them to me, but forgot and gave them to her friends. Can't wait to read them!

Sounds like you did pretty good, and the pumpkin custard sounds YUM!

Oh, you'll love the Twilight books! I love getting more people hooked so I can spread the Twilight-love and have more people to talk to about it!

The film doesn't come out over here till the 19th of December Cant believe I have to wait that long! On a good note - Im just nipping out of work to buy Breaking Dawn I was going to wait and just get it for Christmas, but I can't wait!

Oh! That is a long time to wait!

Ive got it!!! Plus, it was on offer so I saved myself £5

ETA: Is it weird that I laughed when I quoted myself?!

Yay! Have fun reading! Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss.

You ARE beautiful! I thought the same thing. I think you look great!

No need to avoid the thread. I won't discuss the actual books on here. I'd be happy to have a PM convo about them, but I don't want to give anything away to anyone who hasn't read them yet. No spoilers from me! I hope you love the book. Let us know what you think!

We will also be in WDW in May again. Maybe we can meet up this time!

 

[LMO429]

Disneyfreak...I would love to meet up in May!

We will be staying at Saratoga Springs May 9th for One Night, Podcast Cruise from the 10th - 14th and then the 14th until the 21st of May we will be at our second home The Beach Club

Cool! We will be there the 14th until the 23rd - hopefully at Boardwalk. We are hoping to get Boardwalk view, but if that doesn't work, we will try for something else at Boardwalk or Beach Club! So we'll be close by it seems!

Hi Peeps- Was I supposed to give my weight loss goal in my first post? Anyway it is 20lbs.

I won’t lie - these first few days of my diet have been hard. Very hard. Perhaps the low point came last Sunday morning at about 11:00 am...

The day started innocently enough, my parents suggested that DH, DS3 and DS16m and I come along with them to help them close up camp for the winter.

I was already pretty hungry when we left the house but I thought:
This will be good, I will be confined to a vehicle without food or drink for at least 2 hours which will help me make it until lunch at which point I will, of course, have a sensible, lean meal.

All was going swimmingly until about 1/2 an hour into the trip when someone suggests that we stop to get a delicious brunch at a country store. DH is majorly into this idea (as he is whenever smoked meats are concerned.)

I resist. "The baby will fall asleep if we don't stop."

They continue. "We're not in a hurry, beautiful day, yadda yadda yadda..."

DM who knows I am trying to diet and FULLY supports this venture gives it a shot. "The kids won't feel like stopping, they'll want to get to the lake."

Then the bomb hits. DH says: "Will says he's hungry."

Now, you must understand, this is a child who has only said he was hungry perhaps 3 times heretofore in his life. It is like pulling teeth to get this child to eat anything. He subsists primarily on milk, V8 fusion and gummy vites. When Will says he's hungry, we feed him.

Still I think: I can do this, I will get a coffee. (although at this point I am starving)

Then, as I am un-strapping DS16m from his car seat I am hit by the sweetest most wonderful aroma ever. The store has set up an apple cider doughnut cart and is frying fresh, warm, sugared doughnuts a mere 20 feet from where I stand (think Typhoon Lagoon mini doughnuts but better, much better.) Will wants a doughnut. So I actually have to go up and be close to the doughnuts. I actually have to handle the doughnut as I give it to him.

Long story long I end up eating a ham egg and cheese sandwich (hold the cheese) on a hard roll, and the majority of Will's doughnut (which, of course, he didn’t eat) while I watch DH slug down the farmer's breakfast- which makes me wonder...

Did Will really say he was hungry??

We love the boardwalk 2! We stayed there in October of 2006, but after we stayed at the beach club in May 2007 we have been addicted to that resort. I wish we could break the addiction and go to other resorts but the beach club has everything we want, closeness to EPCOT, the ability to get to the boardwalk easily and SAB...anyway we stayed in room 3251 with a Boardwalk view back in 2006 here was our view we were right above the spoodle sign it was a great room and I could see WISHES from sitting on my balcony! imo its not the same as seeing the fireworks in the park but it was an added bonus to see wishes from my balcony the end of every night!

OMG Apple Cider doughnuts totally rock. I try sooo hard to stay away from our farmstand for just this reason!

Great ending to a riveting story! It sounds like you were as peepish as possible under the circumstances.

The Beach Club looks fabulous to me, but we always end up at the Dolphin because we pay about 1/2 of what we would pay at the Beach Club, and it's right next door.

I totally agree with UM and Pixie - You really are beautiful, and seeing your pictures makes me feel like I 'know' you better!

Hi Kat! Thats what I was trying to say, you said it better!

i won't be able to work out too much this week..this rotten California-Cold is making me feel terrible. i can sort of hear out of my left ear, not my right at all..my nose is Rudolph like and I am SLEEEPY..could be the jet lag still though too...i only have about an hour left of work though then i get to go home make dinner and sleep. i am so looking forward to a homecooked meal..i mean i am only making Shake n' Bake ( ..and i helped ) but still...10 full days of NO home cooked meals..its a bit much!

Hey Peeps!
Today and yesterday was the first 2 days in over 2 weeks I didnt eat over 5,000 calories We def went overboard with the eating on the honeymoon! But we are back home now and on track!

I know exactly what you mean! When we got back off honeymoon I found it strange that I wasn't eating 3 HUGE meals a day! Im back on track now, exercising and eating healthy - Hopefully Friday will show it!

Oh! That is a long time to wait!
Yay! Have fun reading! Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss.

PM on way, I need to talk to someone about this book!!
I only got like 4 hours sleep last night because I couldn't put it down - Im almost halfway through it!

Hope everyones having a great day

 

[DisneyLaura]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. They really made my week. Just feeling sorry for myself lately I guess. Plus DS9 had some trouble over the weekend with a football coach. He wasn't playing all but two plays one game and one play last Saturday. DH said something to the coach and he kind of blew my DH off that he even spoke to him which made me made to say the least. Then last night the coach said something to another father about the whole talk thing, he didn't realize he was talking to the same person from Saturday. I did tell him it was my hubby he was talking to and his response to my son not playing - he needs to have more experience, how is he going to get experience on the side lines. But he is starting this Saturday, we shall see. Ok now back to our peep thread. Thanks for the vent.

I have been avoiding the thread a little bit, I looked a couple of times and saw you guys talking about "Twilight" and I just bought the book to read on the way home from California (p.s. 2 xanax and an ambien later, I never even cracked the cover open because I fell asleep ) anyway I just kinda of skimmed the past couple of posts because I don't want to read anything about it before I give it a whirl myself.

I laughed when I read you feel asleep instead of reading on the plane but I understand whyyou did.

Awww!
Are those natural waves/curls in your hair??? GEEEZ! It's really pretty! I don't think it's just hanging there at all. My stupid hair is wavy underneath and straight on top...grrrr!

Yes UM those are natural waves/curls. When it's humid we frizz really yucky. But I found out that if I put some kind of product in my hair (mouse or this cream stuff I use) keeps it from getting too frizzy so that's a plus. I'm from the 80's so my hair always had a little height, I am relucant to say I miss my 80's hair

P.S. post more pictures!

As soon as the kids get to school I'll post more pictures from our trip.

Lauren I can't wait to go back then maybe we can meet too. A peep meet in NYC

 

[::Snow_White::]

Sorry, I haven't been on much because of school things. I've been super busy. Anyways, I've sort of fallen off, but I've kept everything I lost off!
The only problem I'm having right now, is I have a rather large bone structure. I'm at probably 135 and I can already feel my hips, and my ribs. (All of my family has a large bone structure, especially in their ribs) I don't know what I should do because I still have fat on stomach, which I want to get rid of, but I don't know how I can without making my bones seem they are sticking out even more.

I know because of my hips and things, I probably won't get down to anything below a size 6 in jeans which if perfect for me.
Any ideas? My mom said to start doing sit ups, which I probably will soon.

 

[LMO429]

My husband weighed himself yesterday he gained 8 pounds on the honeymoon!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not going anywhere near a scale for at least 2 weeks, if it took me 2 weeks to gain weight it's going to take at least 2 or 3 weeks to get back to an acceptable weight now that I am back on track. Plus no more constant weekend parties/bbqs now that the summer is over I am sure we will have stuff to do but it will not be fri/sat and sun maybe just one night out a week as oppose to 2 or 3.

I swear we were on a mission in disneyland we had to try EVERYTHING food wise! Tigger tails I think (are those the corn dogs on main st), jalapeno pretzels, goofy candy, pumpkin muffins, monte cristo sandwiches at the blue bayou, mickey ice bars, candy apples, caramel ghost pretzels...it goes on and on. Sorry to mention these kind of food on the peep thread, but even though they tasted DELICIOUS and we enjoyed ourselves I have to admit I felt terrible physically the end of every night. Bad foods just make you feel bad! I'm glad we enjoyed ourselves but i'm glad that type of eating is over with at the end of the day it's really not worth it

 

[pixie dust 112]

Lauren I can't wait to go back then maybe we can meet too. A peep meet in NYC

Ugh about the coach! At that age everyone should be getting playing time! It is a learning time.

If anyone does do a NYC meet, count me in. If I can be there I will be! I'm only an hour and a half away from the city and try to get there several times a year!

Size 6????? I'll be thrilled when I get down to a 16! I'm not sure I remember size 6..oh wait I'm sure....I don not remember size 6. I do however remember size 6x from when I was a kid. What's up with that weird size anyway. Maybe it was supposed to prepare me for having at least one x before the L in grownup clothes!

If I were you, I would concentrate on exercises for your stomach to get rid of that fat.

I know what you mean about that gross feeling at the end of the night...but oh those Disney treats are sooooo yummy and hard to resist....sigh!

 

[punkin413]

lilstint - such a great story! but if i've learned one thing in changing the way i eat it's DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! if you're hungry, eat a healthy snack. when you don't eat, you will initially lose weight. but then eventually you will stop because your body goes into starvation mode and CLINGS to whatever you give it. the best thing to do is to drink lots of water (which helps curve your hunger) and to eat healthy snacks between meals. it speeds up your metabolism and keeps you from overeating when you do finally eat a "meal."

snowwhite - if i were you i'd start working on ab exercises. other than sit-ups, you can do planks or get an exercise ball and do lots of different exercises with that. google it and i'm sure you'll get lots of ideas!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

We love the boardwalk 2! We stayed there in October of 2006, but after we stayed at the beach club in May 2007 we have been addicted to that resort. I wish we could break the addiction and go to other resorts but the beach club has everything we want, closeness to EPCOT, the ability to get to the boardwalk easily and SAB...anyway we stayed in room 3251 with a Boardwalk view back in 2006 here was our view we were right above the spoodle sign it was a great room and I could see WISHES from sitting on my balcony! imo its not the same as seeing the fireworks in the park but it was an added bonus to see wishes from my balcony the end of every night!

Nice! We have stayed at Boardwalk Villas before, in May of 2006. We had a pool view, and we could watch Fantasmic from our balcony. I have pictures, but I'm at work right now. We have also stayed at BC and BCV. BC is my absolute favorite resort! We stayed there on our honeymoon and were upgraded to a ground floor, water-view room with a patio and at the end of a hall. It was FABulous!!! I don't like the Villas there as much as the rest of the resort though. We do want to try to stay in the same room as we did on our honeymoon sometime. Maybe our 10th anniversary or something. (I have a pic of the room number in an album.) We love the location of both Beach Club and Boardwalk! Great resorts!
