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

[Wonders10]

Monica - just subscribed to you pre-tr, but I'll have to read it later. On my way to Sam's to look at TVs.

I have been so busy and stressed out about moving. On Saturday, my DSIL, DB and I rented a small u-haul and brought a couch, dining room table and chairs, end tables and a buffet/hutch/sideboard that they were so nice to give to me free of charge since they have recently gotten new furniture. My bedroom furniture that I bought has already been delivered and it is SO cute. Wednesday I'm taking another load up and then Thursday I'm officially moving in, as in I'll be sleeping there for the first time. And my cable and internet will be set up that day as well. I cannot go a single day without tv or internet (one or the other would be ok though). Especially being all alone I would go crazy I think. I still have a few things I need to pick up and then I'm sure even more things that I will need once I'm more settled. I've been taking before and after pics of the apartment so I plan on posting those at some point to if anyone's interested. I'm using the stress and anxiety of the move and new job to eat like it's going out of style. Not good. I'm worried I won't find cute work clothes (which I need desperately, even if I haven't gained some weight). I am confident though that once I'm settled and work has begun that I'll be able to get into a better eating routine. I also hope to exercise more - I was thinking of walking around my complex's lake a few times and then going for a swim as soon as I get home from work to unwind.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Gotta go shop some more...

With DH in Houston right now, ahem, Hurrican about to hit, I can't go out to jog.

So, I got back on the tread mill and I forgot how easy it is to run on that thing.

So, yea! I got my workout in. I'm a sweaty mess.

I have a date with a broom, a mop, and a basement.

My new carpet comes on Saturday.

Maybe I'll even paint to freshen it up some more!

Sorry Peeps, I've been pretty busy the past few days. I'm a samer this week. I did a bit of emotional eating over the weekend - DH was in a car accident, he's fine and the car has some boo-boos. Luckily he was only going about 25mph and the lady who hit him was only going 10mph - she pulled out of a side street without looking both directions and t-boned him.

And DH may be getting some info on a new job prospect - supposed to be some openings for the fall at a local school district for computer/network people, and he's already worked with one of the people that assists in the hiring. It would finally get him out of retail, so if you've got some pixie dust to spare, he could use it. Plus the starting pay is more than he makes right now, and if he got all those technical certifications (which he would do as soon as possible), he'd make even more money.

Sorry aout the accident, but glad your DH is OK. Last year my DD was hit and my car was totaled, but I was so happy she was OK. for the job.

We walked tons today while touring Gettysburg, but ate at least that many calories at a place that has the initials DQ, and rhymes w/Fairy Bean. We'll be home early Wed. morning, and then it's time for the mammogram retake and ultrasound. Wish me luck!

The peeps meet was great. I'll do a mini-trippie when I get home, with picks of some Dis celebs and outlaws.

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!

Hi All!

haven't had time to catch up, but wanted to post while I could.

Working second shift is hard and I am finding I am not eating enough each day. Amazing, isn't it?!? I have been doing WW and am below my points daily, except Sun when I have a high point day. I am trying to adjust and have a high point breakfast & lunch and a lighter dinner, since I eat at 8pm. Anybody work second shift and have any ideas or pointers for me? I'm at a loss.

Monica...Hope your neck is better soon. I had a herniated disk in my back that was very painful! Take care of yourself.

Shannon...How exciting to move to a new place! I was looking forward to that, but it is looking like we will be staying where we are for awhile...the house is just not selling.

Have a great day everyone! ​

 

[lovealldisney]

Hi Peeps,
Just wanted to say hi and Thankyou to all who responded to my car delema.
I did pretty well at the fair over the weekend. I ate 1/2 cream puff, an ear of corn, a baked potato and a elk sausage stick. I don't think I was to bad.

I am feeling really yucky today Aunt Flow is here and I just want to go home and lay down. I am not sure I will weigh in this week or even next ( I will be down in Iowa ) Have a great day everyone!

Monica - Double hugs because I feel your pain! I had a bulging disc in my lower back, which I eventually had surgery on in July 2006, I used to have Physical Therapy on it which was ok, but eventually some of the disc started to fragment so surgery was really the best way to go after that!

Its definately your turn now - look after you for a while

Hope everyones having a great day

 

[LMO429]

Hello Peeps!

i had to laugh at this as we have our air BLASTING from april until october every year! but that's what we get for living in georgia.

hope you feel better. i hate needles, too! i've got to have some dental work done soon and i've been checking into sedation dentistry because i get so nervous about going and getting shots in my mouth.

The peeps meet was great. I'll do a mini-trippie when I get home, with picks of some Dis celebs and outlaws.

can't wait!

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I went to see The Dark Knight last night (and I managed to avoid the snack counter completely - hurray for me!). What a great movie. I was just blown away by how maniacal and evil Heath Ledger was as The Joker. I didn't think he had that sort of performance in him. But even if he hadn't died way too young, I think the movie would have still deserved all of the attention it has received. Just a superb movie.

Nothing else going with me. I'm hoping my willpower at the theatre last night will pay dividends for me on Friday. Otherwise I'm going to kick myself for not getting those Nestle Goobers (chocolate covered peanuts) that were calling my name last night.

Oh yeah, the Labor Day update. Hopefully I got everyone...

Have a great day!

Im glad you put what Goobers were, because in my head I was imagining something disgusting!
Good for you avoiding the snack counter - No Ben & Jerrys sneaking up on you!

glad you enjoyed it! i agree. such a good movie. i want to go back and see it on imax soon. i've loved heath ledger since i saw him in "the patriot." he blew me away in this movie. it didn't look or sound like him and he was just completely insane. my favorite scene is when he's walking away from the hospital in the nurses uniform. you can't help but laugh at him! makes me sad though to think of all the things he could've done and we'll never get to see. christain bale of course is always nice to look at. he's an average actor. i thought the guy that played harvey dent did a really good job too.

 

[monymony3471]

Physical Therapy (PT) was really nice!

I got to lay on a table, while "Andy" messaged my neck, did traction with his hands, rubbed my neck some more and then I got to nap for 15 minutes listening to music with a heat compact on my neck.

Yep I can get used to that.

I go back tomorrow.

As for my EMG, they said, we're sorry your apt was yesterday.

No it wasn't. The girl told me tuesday and that's what has been on my mind ever since I left this office.

So, I have to go back tomorrow.

And they didn't even call on Monday to ask where I was. Uh? Thanks?


Did the treadmill again today for 35 minutes and got in 2.37 miles. I just want to get to 3 miles without being exhausted.

Aaron: WOO HOO on the will power.

Wonders: I want to see pictures too.

PSA Alert: If you need a little help in the cleansing department. EAT ZUCCHINI. OY!

Have a great night! Love to you all!

 

[punkin413]

just to prove how dedicated i've been so far this week with writing down calories......

ray and i went to mcdonald's for dinner tonight and i had a southwest grilled chicken salad with no dressing (i don't like the dressing - just ask for extra limes to squeeze over it) and i just looked up the calories for it on calorieking.com, then i remembered i ate half of one of ray's chicken nuggets. so i had to look up a 4-pack of chicken nuggets and divide that by 8 (1/2 of one chicken nugget in a 4-pack) and figured out it was 24 calories. now that's dedication!!!

monica - don't you just love it when people mess up your appointments??? glad your therapy went well. i love going to the chiropractor and laying on that massage bed and then getting an adjustment......so much tension relieved. speaking of....i need to go soon! i feel like i have a knife constantly sticking in the right side of my neck.

Dawn, that's the kind of stuff that motivates the carp out of me. Keep it going girl!

Just a little something I noticed, but in the email I got for the photopass, I wasn't listed!!!!! I emailed her back. I don't think you were either??

I'm still melting over here. Very cool.

It's hump day everyone! DH is still in Houston. Sigh.


Make every bite count. And I'm not talking about Edward's kind of bites. But those would really be nice too.

 

[myrsfmly]

Just popping in to say hi!

My boss has been on vacation all week so I've had more computer time than usual. I've been good about my food choices this week but today woke up starving!!! I haven't figured out how/when to squeeze much extra exercise in yet but have stopped eating all the bad carbs.

Dark Knight sounds sooo good. I haven't been to a movie that wasn't animated in ages - but it sounds like I need to pull some strings and get some babysitting favors out of my teen DD so I can go.

Dawn I'm with you on the a/c... as soon as my pugs start panting I crank that baby up and don't turn it off 'til the leaves change... drives my DH crazy.

Monica - good luck with the EMG - I used to work for a Dr that performed them - hopefully yours has a gentle touch and then it won't be too bad

 

[monymony3471]

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!!!!!!

yeah, erica called me this morning and said, "guess what i did??? i left monica's dates off that e-mail!" she said she responded to you and said, "i'm a dumb*ss....is that enough of an excuse?" she really didn't mean to do it! it was a total mistake. i told her that you would understand that it wasn't intentional. my dates weren't on there because erica and i are going to WDW together and therefore we will be uploading the pics/editing them at the same time and i guess she didn't need to list those because we already knew what they were.
