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

danielle - thanks for the explanation, although i don't know how much of it i understood! to me it was like reading......blah blah blah...motherboard...blah blah blah...eve...blah blah blah...chagrin (did they really use that word?)....blah blah blah. although i read it to ray and he totally got it.

what did you think of the dark knight? it's just so bittersweet to me because of what could have been. but i've heard some people thought it was too violent. i think for the joker to come across as crazy as he did that maybe some of that violence was necessary. just my opinion though.

 

[dwheatl]

I thought it was great. Sometimes I looked through half-closed eyes, but a lot of the violence was implied rather than shown.
the only thing that bothered me about the movie is what bothered me about the first one - that idiotic voice Bale uses when he's Batman. DS got the first one on DVD, and we were joking about watching it with the Spanish feed so we wouldn't have to hear that voice.
He sure is easy on the eyes though.
I have to add that violence doesn't always bother me. My favorite scene in Casino Royale is the torture scene. Daniel Craig is just so cool as Bond. And his wardrobe in that scene is the best! If any of you have seen it, I think you know what I mean.

Hey y'all... sorry I have been so MIA lately. I have totally backslid when it comes to dieting and have probably put on 5-7 lbs.

However, I am in the process of deciding between 3 job offers. I did give notice at my present job, and they countered, but I am not really considering their counter.

Wish me luck tomorrow that I make the right decision, and can let my boss down with class. 1 of the 3 offers is a no-brainer no even though it is the most $$, but the other 2 are both very attractive and under 10 miles from home (I am currently doing 25 each way).

Do you watch any of the crime shows? (CSI, Law and Order...) They can 'recover' or 'reconstruct' information from electronic devices because when a memory component is erased or damaged, not everythng gets destroyed. There are still fragments left behind that can be lifted and used. I think DH refers to it as 'deep memory' which is kind of like the subconscience. Things get routed there and even though it's not a save area of the hard drive, some of it gets left behind.

I'm doing pretty good, hanging in here. I got shanghaied by brownies twice today. The dang things totally overpowered me. I'd say tomorrow is anothr day but we are going to the state fair........... fair food....... Yummmmmm.

OOOOOHHHHH the lure of state fair food! Be careful! Our state fair just ended I think I did pretty well. I had a ear of corn, a baked potato, and a cream puff that was shared with my daughter. Have fun!

Well I am off to Iowa today. Only working a half day! I will MIA for a while and will post when I get back! Have a great rest of the week!

I just found the neatest online magazine for women and a great Nutrition article about switching from "diet foods" to whole grains, beans, fish, and vegetables.

interesting..i agree with this article I think there is def something wrong with eating all types of diet types of foods..anything that says low fat, sugar free, or diet typically has at least 2 or three ingredients that you cant pronounce which are most likely poisonous chemicals....similar to this article i just got done reading jillian michaels making the cut it tells you to stay away from processed foods and "diet" snacks..

i think the best bet when shopping is to only go up and down the aisles on the end of the supermarket in the middle aisles are all the processed bad for you stuff....

I'm pretty sick and tired of the scale staying the same...I know what my problem is a said it a million times its my bad eating on the weekends...i had a reality check this morning when I went on theknot and my countdown to the weddng was less than 50 days!


yesterday i ate super healthy...today I did Barry's Boot Camp Arms and Abs + the 20 minutes super hard cardio section!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

It IS hard. We had 4 people/groups come through. I haven't heard anything yet, so we'll see. I am SO wanting to move out of state!

It's such a bad market and is getting worse
I have so much depending on the sale of our home too.
I think your kitchen is really well done and warm...like I'd love to have some coffee and girl talk with you there!

Wendy...It is amazing how frustrating it is when people come through and you hear nothing. My realtor will check back with their realtor and it's been stupid things like, "No hardwood floors" or "too much work on the upstairs." Are they kidding??? Yes we need new carpets, and maybe a fresh coat of paint upstairs, but no real "work" has to be done. People are soooo lazy these days!!! You are welcome to come and have coffee with me and girl talk any time!!!

by the way, did you guys see the mens swimming relay last night?????? i'm sure you've seen it by now on the news if you didn't watch it last night. it was AWESOME!!!!! i was screaming at the TV during the last leg. it was SUCH a great race!

I have been working nights, so I am seeing nothing of the olympics. Besides, my TV decided to go to, so everything on it is green!

Interesting article. I have started cutting out "diet" foods, mostly because of the aspartame. Will definitely add more grains & beans to my diet.

Sounds like a great workout! Keep it up!

 

[DisneyObsession]

awesome kitchen!!!! i see the dis on your computer screen in the background

GOOD EYES!!!! I was dissing and updating my TR that night.

 

[punkin413]

i weighed this morning and my scale said 137!!! and i have no idea why. i've been doing great on the diet and exercise. AF is coming later this week so maybe that's why? very frustrating.

I thought it was great. Sometimes I looked through half-closed eyes, but a lot of the violence was implied rather than shown.
the only thing that bothered me about the movie is what bothered me about the first one - that idiotic voice Bale uses when he's Batman. DS got the first one on DVD, and we were joking about watching it with the Spanish feed so we wouldn't have to hear that voice.

i agree about christian bale's voice. it's just weird in that movie. i don't like to watch him talk anyway because he's got a weird lisp kinda thing going on. i prefer to hit mute and just stare! kinda like ray used to be with britney spears. he couldn't stand listening to her but he could watch her all day long.

Wish me luck tomorrow that I make the right decision, and can let my boss down with class. 1 of the 3 offers is a no-brainer no even though it is the most $$, but the other 2 are both very attractive and under 10 miles from home (I am currently doing 25 each way).

good luck! sounds like you've got some great options!

i used to watch those but i don't anymore since i started doing more court work. once you see how it really works those shows start to get aggravating. i saw a CSI once where the jury was asking the witness questions. that's DOES NOT happen in real life......ever! it's the responsibility of the prosecutor to put up the evidence and the jury is not allowed to gain any more information than what's presented to them. anyway, that's beside the point. i just can't watch those shows anymore, even though at one time i really enjoyed them.

I'm pretty sick and tired of the scale staying the same...I know what my problem is a said it a million times its my bad eating on the weekends...i had a reality check this morning when I went on theknot and my countdown to the weddng was less than 50 days!

i hope this comes off as a compliment, but do you think the scale is staying the same because you weigh what you're supposed to weigh? i know once i reached like 132 it just came to a dead stop and i think it's because i'm not supposed to weigh any less than that.

I have been working nights, so I am seeing nothing of the olympics. Besides, my TV decided to go to, so everything on it is green!

bummer!!!!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Hello EVERYONE!!!!!

I have less than 2 weeks before disney!!! I actually started to secretly pack the kids outfits in ziplock bags today. I have to manage to pack everything in 2 suitcases, which shouldn't be hard since we are only going for 4 days. But then there are dipers and bottles, and wipes, and formula, and all that baby stuff!!!! I'm keeping her on formula for one more month due to our vacation, I don't want to deal with milk in the Florida heat. EW!


I kinda took a few days off and suffered the consequences. Zach's birfday was Sunday and we went to tiger stadium, (I put it in my Pre-trip report with pics if you want to read/see it) and we ate a good amount of junk.

When we got home he wanted brownies for his "cake", so I obliged and we had some, I actually threw half of it away, I was not feeling good after I ate it.

We both spent some time in the bathroom that night.

Sorry, TMI, but my point is, yes there's a point to my nonsense, is I'm so used to eating healthy that my body reactly badly to the junk.

So, no more junk for me, unless it's a Dole Whip.


Yesterday Zach started football and I used the track. I just counted laps and I did run some, in the end I did 13 laps. That's 3.25 miles!

I was just trying to get through 2.5 miles. Bonus!

I got to use the jogging stroller I got off of craig's list. I paid $28 for a used one and new they go for a 100.



Does anyone drink Green Tea? What kind and why? I'm thinking of switching from coffee to green tea. I've read that it can really help with weight loss. But I don't know what kind to buy.

I dont think I am suppose to weigh 127..i think I should weigh less if I was eating healthy on the weekend instead of stuffing my face and the scale said 127 then I would accept my weight..but considering I have been eating like im going to the chair on the weekends I think I am still capable of losing more!

Oh blast, everything I eat is low-fat . . . maybe that's why the scales won't shift!!!!!

i hope you didn't take that the wrong way. it was just an idea because i know that i'm eating well pretty much all the time but it seems like my weight loss has come to a hault and i'm thinking it's because i'm supposed to weigh around 130. for me it has a lot to do with the way i carry my weight too. like when i weigh 130 pounds i could still stand to lose weight on the bottom half of my body, but because the top half of my body loses the weight faster i don't really want to lose any more because i start looking sickly up top, like you can see my clavicle bones too much and i think it looks gross. anyway, that's totally beyond the point. good luck on eating well on the weekends! i know that with a wedding coming up it's gonna be a challenge!

monica - i don't know anything about green tea but let us know if it helps with your weight loss!

 

[punkin413]

it's true! there's a difference between natural foods that are good for you and diet foods. i admit i eat some diet foods but i try to eat more of the natural stuff. for example when i stopped drinking diet soda, which i had done for years, and switched to 99% water, the weight started dropping off. it's like your body doesn't know what to do with all that diet "stuff."

shoot me shoot me now.

Today was day #1 - teacher workdays. I am the part time speech therapist at one school and full time at another. Today I went to my part time placement. I know that they really need me and want me there more than I technically can because I am obligated to this other school, which I am going to tomorrow. But it is so frustrating getting schedules down and when I can see this school, when I can see that school...and they both want me all the time. And as much as it would be fun to split myself in two and send me to both schools at the same time, I don't think science has figured that one out yet. And the paperwork and the fact that my classroom is completely filled with old reading books so I can't even get to my computer, bulletin boards, or phone. I know that a month from now, it should be pretty well taken care of and I'll have a routine but right now it seems impossible. Send pixie dust my way please - I am STRESSED OUT!

Have you looked at your BMI? Between 18.5 and 24.9 is healthy. I just read something that said if you want to extend your life and stay fit and active, 22 is the magic number. Right now I'm aiming for 24.9, and once I'm able to hold onto that I'll try for 22. If you are 5 feet tall, your BMI is 24.9, so it's healthy. If you are shorter than that, your BMI is higher (overweight). If you are taller than that, you are well within the range of healthy. Just something to think about. Here's a BMI calculator, for anyone interested. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm

I have so been there. I was divided by 3 schools when I was the librarian, and stuff always got dumped in the library on the days I wasn't there. Sending you and .
