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

[UtahMama]

I worked out last night! Yay ME! SPECIAL focus on inner and outer thighs and bummocks....all I can say is....OY!!!!

Especially fun to PLUNK down onto the toilet to go potty (TMI?)

Does my bummocks look smaller yet?

And it's too HOT to eat heavy. I have lots of cut watermelon handy. SO good!


Happy Weigh Day Eve!

Good for you on working out!!

I had to laugh at the plunking down to go potty. Um yeah, I've been there. When I first did the work out DVD with all it's squats and lunges, I could hardly stand to sit and use the restroom!! Ugh.
And to make matters worse I was trying to kick that soda habit of mine and had choosen that day and the day prior to start drinking lots and lots of water......





I'm not really looking to weigh in day this time. Too many slip ups this week, I'm not expecting it to be good.

i have a fun story about that. anna (my best friend/fitness trainer) was really sore in her bum area one time from working out and when she sat down on the toilet she was yelling in pain. well, her 3yo heard her and asked her what was wrong. she said, "oh, mommy's hiney is just sore from working out." he said, "let me see your boo-boo," thinking that she had a scratch or something. she said, "no, honey, it's inside my hiney that hurts," without thinking about what she said first. he looks at her and goes, "i think it's inside your hole that hurts." the things kids say!!!

good for you for the exercise, UM!!!

 

[Wonders10]

Peeps, I'm frustrated. Since Monday I have been uber-good about writing everything down, staying within my caloric intake. I even exercised (little stuff, but still extra movement) on Monday and today. I did a sneak peak at the scale this morning and was pretty pleased with what I saw considering today is technically only day #4. But then I was trying on a pair of shorts and a shirt that I was planning on wearing tomorrow to our city's July 4th parade and I feel like a stuffed sausage. I know it is a slow process but it is so confusing to me as to why my clothes are so gosh darn tight. These are clothes I have had forever and at varying weights and this is the heaviest weight I've been (have been this weight before though) and they still fit. And I'm nervous that the weekend and especially this disney trip is going to ruin any good that I may have done this week and then when I come home from my trip, I will have a hard time getting back "on the wagon". Ugh. Just a vent. Thanks for listening.

Way to go UtahMama!!! When you are done with that personal trainer you wanna send him my way? I need someone to kick my lazy butt into gear.



Okay quick question for anyone who's knows the answer.... What are the dates for the next challenge? When is the starting date/first weigh in? And when does it end?
I'm trying to figure out a reasonable goal to set for myself but I don't know how many weeks we're talking about.

Thanks!!

 

[disney-inspired]

Hi everyone, just checking in!
I made a really good food decision today! Instead of eating Carl's Jr. with my neighbor I waited and ate healthy Thai food with my family! And it was great!

Ok, I don't mean to brag....OH OK, I DO! I completed 17 miles this week!That's elliptical, walking home in 100 degree heat, treadmill, and bike. I did 5 on Monday, 6 on Tuesday, and 6 miles today!

Now let's see if I can keep this up until October because I want to find a cute costume!

 

[dwheatl]

Okay, girls and guy, I need some Peepish help!

We have a WDW trip planned for January 23-31, 2009. We're very excited, and planned the time specifically to avoid crowds, heat, and higher prices.

PROBLEM: My husband's brother and his wife are expecting a baby are are due on Feb. 5. They live 6 blocks from us, and we're close. My SIL has two kids already, both of whom were born before their due dates. My SIL's mom lives about an hour away and would probably come here and stay with them around the time the baby would come.

QUESTION: Do we change our trip dates? It's entirely likely that the baby could come while we were gone. We haven't paid our deposit yet - but to keep our reservation, we need to pay a deposit by July 6.

It's important to us that we have the fewest crowds possible when we do go, but our family is obviously important too. It isn't like my BIL and SIL would be totally alone when the new baby came, but...you know. We could be a lot of help in the meals and babysitting departments (our 2 kids and their 2 kids play together often).

I just need a little guidance! Thanks in advance, everybody!

I would go ahead and go when I planned. Especially if her mom is coming right when the baby comes, she'll need your help more after her mom leaves..

I am going to get a Tinkerbell Twist for Sure when I am there!

Where do you suggest we made our dining reservations while at DL, We are staying at The Grand Californian. I was going to make them at the Blue Bayou and the Minnies character breakfast in DL so we could be one of the first people in the park

ADRs are necessary for the Blue Bayou, but for hardly any other table service restaurants unless it's a super-busy time. We do a lot of counter service meals too, because the food at DL is just not noteworthy, and we rather spend the time on rides and shows. Even the DTD places at DL have mediocre food. Here's a link to the Dis info page for DL dining http://www.wdwinfo.com/Disneyland/dining.htm
We do like the trattoria and Wharf sourdough bread bowls in CA, and the Corn Dog King there (except it makes me ill, especially combined with California Screamin').

Shannon, my DL trip is in 9 days, and my weight is at it's highest since Christmas. I'm thinking I'm going to have to show some restraint even on the trip, because I just keep making excuses. So, you have my sympathy.

At first, I thought you meant you went potty again. Good job on the workout/ personal trainer, and I love the names of the classes!

Happy 4th of July everyone! (And, um, happy Friday to our favorite British Peep, Ms. [soon to be Mrs.] DisneyGalUK!)

Wendy - I've done Pilate's and Yoga on my own at home. The Pilate's I think would have been better with a live person. But the Yoga? Oy veh. Some of the poses they have you try are nearly obscene! But great job on taking the initiative to sign up for them!

Ok, down to business. This was a good week for me, as I managed to lose 1.8 pounds. This loss gives me a grand total of 52.2 pounds lost since 2007; and an uber-grand total of 76.2 pounds lost since sometime early 2005. This also puts me at my lowest adult weight ever of 162.8. Unfortunately, I did not make my July 4 challenge. But that is the perfect lead in to...

What are the dates for the next challenge? When is the starting date/first weigh in? And when does it end?

...this question! Since I am the keeper of the spreadsheet, I can answer this. The next mini goal/challenge thing is Labor Day. But since Labor Day is a Monday, I figure we'll have our last official weigh-in on the previous Friday - August 29. Next week will be week 1 of the challenge. For those of you unfamiliar with how this works, you declare on here what goal you'd like to reach by Labor Day. I record that on a spreadsheet. And then I use your weekly weigh-in number to keep track of how you are doing on your goal. Make sense?

Since I am not under 160 on this July 4, I'm keeping that as my goal for Labor Day. All I want to do is lose 2.8 measly pounds to get myself under 160. Maybe I'll do that in two week, or maybe it'll take me two months. But I haven't seen the 150's since before I could drive, so that's all I can wish for right now.

Have a safe and fun holiday everyone!

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Good for you girl. I love the name of the classes too. Oh and I'll take that trainer over here too.

You go girl - I'm sure a cute costume will totally have your name on it come October.

Shannon - keep it up, you can do it

Ok peeps I'm a no weigher again (still had the kids on tuesday and all of them can't fit in my car) but I did go hiking twice this week with my family so at least I excerised and I drank a lot of water every day so my rings fell nice and loose. Here's to tuesday of next week back to WW.

Monica - thinking of you and your hubby

HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE AND HAPPY FRIDAY MS DISNEYGALUK

 

[LMO429]

Happy 4th Peeps!!!!

The festivities have already started at my moms house we (5 of my cousins and my fiance) are eating bagels and playing rock band before we head out to my uncles bbq! should be a drinkfest and I am not counting calories today!

anyway I am - 1 today! I weighed in at 129 this morning.

For the labor day challenge I would like to lose 7 pounds! and weigh 122 or 123! at the very least under 125!.... This past challenge I pretty much stayed the same! but hey its better than gaining!

 

[UtahMama]

OK! Hurry and weigh in before tempted with cook-outs and pot lucks!

I tried reeeeally hard and am a samer. So, I'm hoping the working out daily will take me over this slump.

I'm going to take my measurements (need to psych up first) today. I just loooove doing that. The chest and waist measurements are OK...then I go to hips and realize I am a human pear. So, we'll have to FIX that now WONT we??? (Yes, I'll always be a pear, but hopfully less pearish.) Maybe I'll just cinch the measureing tape as tight as it will go....


Labor Day, eh Aaron? Ok. Hmmm.... August 29.
Put me down for 10. And put some pixie dust on that!

are you drinking your water? that makes a world of difference for me! also, add more cardio into your workouts if you can. hang in there - it'll start to happen soon!

At first, I thought you meant you went potty again.

me too!!

I tried reeeeally hard and am a samer. So, I'm hoping the working out daily will take me over this slump.

that exercise will take about a week or two to start paying off. if you're sore you're going to have extra lactic acid weight, so take that into consideration. i bet you lost and it's just not showing yet because of that!


way to go UM and disney-inspired on the exercising!!!!!!

i'm -1 pound today.....finally!!! today is a bust though as far as calorie counting goes! ray is making pork tenderloin and his WONDERFUL potato salad and our neighbors are making the rest, so i'm sure it will be a caloriefest. plus i bought some vanilla vodka yesterday. i discovered a new drink accidentally awhile back - vanilla vodka and cranberry apple juice. i had some leftover vanilla vodka from where i made key lime martinis and i didn't have any of the stuff to make a martini with, so i just mixed it with cranberry apple juice and it was SO YUMMY!!! so i will partaking in a few of those today. our neighbors spend about $2,000 on fireworks every year so we always have a show in our front yard - it's great because we don't have to go anywhere!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!

[DisneyGalUK]

Happy 4th of July everyone!* (And, um, happy Friday to our favorite British Peep, Ms. [soon to be Mrs.] DisneyGalUK!)

HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE AND HAPPY FRIDAY MS DISNEYGALUK

Ah thanks you guys, Happy Friday to me! I like having my own day!

** our neighbors spend about $2,000 on fireworks every year so we always have a show in our front yard - it's great because we don't have to go anywhere

Wowza, thats a lot of fireworks! I bet its a great show!

Shannon - Hang in there. Might you be retaining water? Sometimes when im retaining water I feel a really funny shape! It'll even itself out, you'll see.

Wendy - On the exercise - love the class names!

This week Im a SAMER Not made better by my silly head cold I've got! Got to be better for Sunday, Its my Race for Life!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY YOU GUYS!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Happy 4th everyone!!! I'll have to post my weigh in info a little later as I haven't weighed yet, but I will be doing so shortly. Aaron, I'll also let you know what I want to do for the challenge at that time too.

I've just signed up for sparkspeople and I'm really excited about it! It gives more than just a count of calories; it offers information about total carbs, fats, proteins, etc. Looks good!

I have been signed up for sparkpeople for some time to get the emails, but I have recently started using it to track calories because its easier than emailing my spreadsheet back and forth to myself from work to home. I like it!

I worked out last night! Yay ME! SPECIAL focus on inner and outer thighs and bummocks....all I can say is....OY!!!!

Especially fun to PLUNK down onto the toilet to go potty (TMI?)

Does my bummocks look smaller yet?

And it's too HOT to eat heavy. I have lots of cut watermelon handy. SO good!


Happy Weigh Day Eve!

Woo Hoo for you! Those bummocks sure do look small! about plunking down on the potty.

i have a fun story about that. anna (my best friend/fitness trainer) was really sore in her bum area one time from working out and when she sat down on the toilet she was yelling in pain. well, her 3yo heard her and asked her what was wrong. she said, "oh, mommy's hiney is just sore from working out." he said, "let me see your boo-boo," thinking that she had a scratch or something. she said, "no, honey, it's inside my hiney that hurts," without thinking about what she said first. he looks at her and goes, "i think it's inside your hole that hurts." the things kids say!!!

good for you for the exercise, UM!!!

I have found that my body has been very different at different times in my life, even if I weigh the same as I did at another time. Just keep working at it, and I know you'll see a change.

WAY TO GO! You are rocking the work outs!

 

[Wonders10]

are you drinking your water? that makes a world of difference for me! also, add more cardio into your workouts if you can. hang in there - it'll start to happen!

Yep! Water is all I'm drinking and plenty of it, plus 1 crystal light a day. No soda for me since Sunday. I probably should do more cardio, but our treadmill isn't working right and it's just too darn hot to walk outside. I'm thinking of getting the Walk away the pounds DVD. Usually when I exercises I do 50% cardio and 50% weights, crunches, etc. I feel better today though because I know I'm doing the best I can and eventually I'll start to see true results. Thanks everyone for the hugs.

Today I am -1.2 . I was actually -2 yesterday but maybe my muscles are sore because I did do weights, strength training yesterday. I'm okay with the loss though because I officially started on Monday and today is only Friday.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

 

[mommaU4]

I just wanted to say WAY TO GO to all those who are starting or continuing with exercise plans and programs!!! It's so hard and I really admire all those who can stick with it, or who continue to try!!

And congrats to all those who lost this week. And for those who didn't, hang in there. I know we can all do this and meet our goals.

Labor Day:
Thanks for the info on the Labor Day challenge. I think I am going to try and lose 15 lbs before the August 29 weigh in. That's sounds like a lot, but that's my goal.


OK, so here's my weigh in for today. Last week I was at 246.6 and today I am at 243.6 so that's exactly a -3 lb loss. Not bad since this was a rough week for me.



Anyway, I hope you all have a safe and fun 4th of July!!
