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

[LMO429]

Hey peeps

Sorry i have been MIA, it seems I threw my wedding invitations in the mail yesterday and all of a sudden I have a million things to do. I seriously can't wait to be done with the wedding planning I hate it!!!

I know I was going to start posting to be more accountable 60 days to the wedding. This morning I did Jillian Michaels Shape Up Front and then 15 minutes running on the treadmill for cardio!

GOing to see the foo fighters tonight in concert! love them!! they rock!

 

[monymony3471]

Yesterday I actually went for my walk/run. I found a road with asphalt so it was nicer on my body and went for it.

I plan on doing it again today.

Because if I don't, I'll just eventually give up on it altogether.


And I don't want to do that.


This is my eating plan;

Breakfast I have my eggs.

Lunch I have my salad sometimes with chicken or cheese and some veggies

Dinner is after I exercise and a bowl of Special K with berries and my 1%milk (I can't stand skim)

And if I need one, a fiber one bar sometime during the day.

10-12 glasses of water.

go, mony!!! go, mony!!!

sorry i've been a lurker lately. just busy making money for my disney trip in 35 days!!!!

i would love to go to that haunted house.....so cool! i know this sounds silly but when we're in savannah (we go there at least once a year) and the ghost tours pass us as we're walking down the street, we always make spooky, ghost-like sounds. it's not that we don't believe in that stuff - it's just fun to do! usually the people on the tour get a kick out of it!

UM - that pink corvette is SO YOU!!!!!!

LMO - have fun and tell dave grohl i said what's up! i love the foo fighters. they are a band i hope plays until they die. i saw them in '95, within a year after kurt cobain's death. they opened for mike watt and no one knew who they were. when they came on stage everyone starting freaking out, saying, "that's the drummer for nirvana!!!!!!!!!" it was a really cool experience. i'm sure their show will be great!

I am definitely going to try and keep it up! Unfortunately I get so bored with plain water so this is why I do the tea. I brew my own so I make a pitcher with caffeine and one without. I have the caffeine in the AM and then the decaf PM. I also add enough Splenda to the pitcher so it is equal to a cup of sugar. I don't like diet sodas so I don't drink those - not that they are good for you anyway and the tea has antioxidents.

I acutally use Special K mix protein mix ins, crystal light mix ins and now I have been using True Lemon packets (it's crystalized lemon in little sugar like packets, no sugar, no calories so it just flavors the water they also have orange and lime flavor). I can't do plain water unless I am really thirsty but occasionally at dinner I will have at least 2 glasses of plain water.

Look! I got to get IN a SWEET Corvette!

You look like a pink lady

Checking in again~

I did really well over the weekend. I didn't count points on Sat but I wound up skipping breakfast because I slept late and DH had a Dr appt. Yesterday I had to est pts for my coffee but stayed on track for lunch and dinner. I watched a movie and counted out my popcorn cakes so I only had 1 serving. I slept a lot for some reason. I did walk a bit on Sat; I had eaten too much for dinner and felt uncomfortable so I had DH let me out of the car a few blocks away from our friends' house so I could walk it off. I walked a bit more while reading a magazine when we were waiting for other friends to arrive.

I went to the gym this am. I hadn't gone since Thurs. I got on the eliptical and on the recumbant bike. If the machines are accurate, I did 3 miles in 30 min. between the two and then did arms and hip work on the weight machines.

Yeah for you on the exercising. I need to get motivated to start exercising.

Hi everyone. I am back from my trip to the haunted plantation. Some of you wanted me to report any ghost sightings. We didn't see any ghosts, but we did have a spooky experience. I was in the bathroom getting ready to go out to eat. My husband was in the kitchen area opening a bottle of wine. He started yelling for me to come here. There was a cast iron tool set next to the fireplace. The poker was swaying back and forth. I asked my husband if he was trying to scare me, but he swore to me he was not. I thought he moved it in an attempt to freak me out. We stood there for a few seconds and watched the poker move. My husband said, "I'm not staying in a room with a ghost who will stab me with a (very bad word) fire place poker in my sleep!" Then it stopped swaying. I told him to walk back and forth by the fireplace to see if it would move, but it didn't. My husband was a big chicken the rest of the night. We had to sleep with the lights on. I do admit, there was a spooky feeling about that place. I woke up at least 5 times that night. I would sit straight up in the bed, wide awake. It was very strange. I will upload some pictures later. It was a very beautiful place with the most spectacular gardens I have seen. My sister and I are going to another plantation around Halloween time. Oprah and her friend, Gayle, stayed there a couple of years ago. It is supposed to be one of the most haunted residences in the country.

Better you than me. I could never have stayed there. I rememeber when I was in high school, me and a friend went to see the Warrens at a local high school and it creeped me out. They actually had audio tapes of demons talking. Too creepy for me.

I'm trying to get the Labor Day updated posted, but my computer is being stupid right now. Hopefully later this afternoon...

Here I'll fix your computer for you

Go Mony I like the cereal for dinner. Don't you get tired of cereal though?

Aaron - Just keep going on the Couch to 5K. I just started Week 4, and it's beastly! 5 minutes of running, in a row, is apparently too much for me. But I keep pressing on.

Unfortunately, I haven't been so dedicated with my eating habits, and no amount of sweaty effort can overcome the delicious goodness of the JUNK food I'm eating! The root of the problem is that I haven't recorded what I've been eating. I just put a new chart on the fridge to remind me to write it down...

I know this is a journey and everything, but I feel like I've been at a rest stop for too long.

Thank you so much for reporting back to us...I can't wait to see pics. I think just knowing the history of a place like that and the whole atmosphere of an old plantation home would keep me sleeping with the lights on too. Is the other place you are going to, The Myrtles? That has been featured on a lot of travel channel shows and Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi went there too. They had some experiences.

Hi Peeps - I'm eating horribly. I've been feeling like there is more to my problem than "I just like to eat a lot and have no will power". Like I'm out of control.

In other news, I'm officially moving in on Thursday, signing paperwork, etc. but I'm still going to be living at home until next week sometime. My bedroom furniture is being delivered on Friday and the furniture my DB and DSIL were so kind to give to me will be delivered on Saturday. I'll be busy busy busy.

Go Mony I like the cereal for dinner. Don't you get tired of cereal though?

I thought I might, I just did that yesterday, today I opted for a tuna fish sandwhich with romain lettuce on it. I can have mayo on SB, so I added some and some cut up pickles kinda like a relish. Worked. Maybe I'll alternate and have cereal again tomorrow.

As long as I exercise I am not hungry, so I can do with just a lite dinner.

I am so invigorated with the walk/running. I wish I could share my high with you all. I guess I had to hit rock bottom to get back up. And stay up.

Stand up and walk away from your rest stop. It's your turn now to really go for it ALL! You can do this. I NEED you to do this. Make every bite count. Write it all down. One trick I do is go to your pad and ask yourself, do I really need this? Can I substitute something else. What would my peeps think of this choice.

Get the junk out of the house! Or just leave it all behind.

How exciting on moving. Keeping busy will keep you from eating junk. Think of it that way.



Look out people I'm on a roll.....................

Just got back from more run/walking. Went another route and it has inclines and declines. It was a work out.

 

[abish19]

Monica - Thanks so much for those encouraging words! My biggest hurdle is emotional eating...instead of eating during those emotional times I think I'll lay it all out for my Peeps!

I'm off to go on a good, long walk. It's a better way to spend my time than watching "America's Got Talent."

 

[mousehouselover]

I hit a pothole today. I gave in to the decorated chocolate chip cookie at work. It was bad enough that I had some of the greasy cookie but I also had a piece with the super sweet icing on it...... I only had a little but any was more than I should've had. I did so well for the rest of the day but after looking at that dang cookie all afternoon, I caved. I'm glad tomorrow's another day and another chance to try again.

 

[monymony3471]

Good morning! It is another day! Make it a good one!

 

[LMO429]

Yesterday I drank 8 glasses of water! and even drank water at the foo fighter concert boring i know! but we had to see it in nj instead of the city so we had to worry about driving anyway so i took one for the team and sucked it up

this morning i did Jillian Michaels shape up back!

Can you tell me where you were at? My hubby and I are thinking of taking a trip somewhere for our 20th anniversary It's still 2 years away ( I'm working on Disney ) but one thought we had was to travel out east and stay in haunted inns ect... But a plantation! Now that is cool!

i'm missing my exercise this week SO MUCH!!! i'm swamped and have to get 2 very long depositions turned in by friday since it's the end of the month tomorrow. i don't even have 20 minutes to go for a walk.......very frustrating! i'm sure the scale will not be my friend this week.

and my head hurts......yesterday a storm was coming in and i ran outside to take the top off my tink bird bath (it's made of glass and very top-heavy - i'm always afraid the wind will blow it over and break it during a storm) and as i was standing up from bending over, i hit my head on our satellite dish HARD!!! it hurts so bad!

LMO - how was the show?

hope you guys are doing better on the exercise front than me. i'm still eating okay, not great, just okay. i had a special K waffle with sugar free syrup this morning. and i'll have a lean cuisine almond chicken for lunch since i don't have time to cook anything else!

I am again officially sick of being pooh sized and thought I would give the disappearing Peeps a shot.. I lost over 40 lbs last year but I have slooowlyyy been putting it back on but I threw away all my fat clothes and really really don't want to have to buy new ones again

The show was awesome! it was pretty much the same exact set list that they did at madison square garden a couple of months ago! Dave is not human he has so much energy, is so funny and you can tell he genuiely loves what he does

I hope your head feels better OUCH!

As far as getting exercise in you should get jillian michaels 30 day shred there are 3 20 minute workouts but with a serious punch to them,,they are hard... it might be helpful with squeezing stuff in on days like today

Ouch

This is a great group, jump right in!

to everyone...i've missed you peeps!!!

We've missed you too

Well on Sunday I FINALLY got to see The Dark Knight - Oh My Goodness, it is one of the best films I have ever seen. Ever. Heath Ledger was so unbeliveable in it, he was absolutely Awesome! So sad
I did manage to avoid Ben & Jerrys icecream woohoo for me!

Hope everyones having a great day

I went to a curves once and didnt even break a sweat there! I dont mean to offend anybody but I think its more of a beginner place to get your workouts in...i think its a great starting off gym to begin an exercise program but i think in the end you need to push yourself a little more than they do at curves

 

[mousehouselover]

Punkin~ Sorry about the head. I did that at work a few weeks ago...... not only was it painful but embarassing.

myrsfmly~ Welcome to the best WISH support thread ever! I think almost all of us have been where you are, but we're still trying.

LMO~ Glad you had a great time. WTG with the water!

I'm sort of missing the gym at the moment. I really hated it a few weeks ago but it's growing on me. I went on Mon but had other commitments yesterday and today. I have a class tomorrow so I know I'll be getting my workout. I should dust off the workout vids I have here at home, I have a 10 min quickie that is pretty challenging, it focuses on different areas for each segment.

I have done a good job with my food choices today, cranenergy juice (1pt) and oatmeal (3pts.) I'm actually still kind of full from the oatmeal. I need to have lunch....... maybe just a slim fast shake. I've got 2 veggies and a fruit for dinner as well as a frozen meal. I have to make up for the cookie mistake yesterday......... Hopefully they are gone today.

I've got to run, I need to get ready for work.

if you're not getting in tough workouts, try something else! i have a friend that did curves and she liked it at the beginning, but it wasn't too long before she found it kinda boring and easy. i think it's a great way to get women in the gym and exercising, but once you're used to it you need something harder.

Ouch
Hope you are ok!!!

WELCOME!!!!!! you'll love it here. so much support and advice! we chat about other things, too, obviously!

Well on Sunday I FINALLY got to see The Dark Knight - Oh My Goodness, it is one of the best films I have ever seen. Ever. Heath Ledger was so unbeliveable in it, he was absolutely Awesome! So sad

glad you liked it. it was just an awesome film and he's amazing in it! my favorite scene is where he's walking away from the hospital......so hilarious and strange and insane at the same time!
