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

[MA pigletfan]

Hey Peeps

Some I have not been on much...I have bronchitis and an ear infection...FUN FUN FUN!!!

Feel better Lauren!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

OK...that goal chart is intimidating. I pledged 8 pounds and will stick to it.

I'm hoping between the "Smack Down" and the Christmas Goal, I'll keep out of the goodies. I'm armed with the ingredients to make healthy(ish) treats and snacks so we'll see. To me, that's half the battle: NOT BUYING CRAP and making dorky substitutions, like, air popped popcorn when I want movie theater popcorn. Baked sweet potato chips when I want Pringles.

THIS IS SOOO HARD this time of year!
So far so good. One major holiday is checked off.

THIS IS SOOO HARD this time of year!

Tell me about it. I hate it! And what's worse is I'm getting people telling me to make it about family time and gatherings and not focus on the food. But hello......at least in our family they go hand in hand. That's what we do! We get together to bake, to cook, etc.

It sucks! I feel like I'm missing out on a huge part of what the holidays were to me growing up. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone.
I mean, my kids were telling me how they can't wait to make our annual Christmas sugar cookies and decorate them, and instead of agreeing and being happy about it, I had a shot of fear go through me as I thought how the heck am I going to do this???



Sorry for the rant! Not sure where that came from. LOL

Just a little weighing tip for pretty numbers tomorrow!!! Happy Weigh In!!!

 

[dwheatl]

Hey, peeps. I had a happy occurrence today. Two teachers stopped me and asked what I was doing to lose weight. I'm so glad someone noticed. And DH hardly ever weighs, but he did today and he's lost 7 lbs.

Sorry you're feeling bad, LMO. Get well soon.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Thanks for the responses on my last post, a little update. My mom looked it up and said it had to do with me having a small cold and caused it to swell up. It's starting to get smaller now and it isn't sore. She said she's had them before and it takes awhile to go away, if it doesn't go away we'll probably check more into it and take me to the doctor.

As for my week, it hasn't been going to well. I got pounded at a buffet and some chocolate yesterday looked so good. I did go for a 30 minute run and my calves have been hurting 3 days from it, and I was beat after I was done. I'm not sure if I'll lose anything this week, but I need to get back on track!

One of my friends asked me how I lost all my weight and we talked for half an hour about exercising, how she wanted to lose some, and being healthy, it was really nice.

WI_DisneyFan, if you could put me down for 8lbs by Christmas?
That'd be great.

Have a nice day everyone!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Obviously I am a day ahead for weigh in! I don't know what I was thinking! Just keep this in mind for tomorrow!!!

You had me all confused! I got up thinking "Oh no! Today is weigh in, I didn't do very well." Weighed myself and thought I needed to post it. I logged in and I remembered it was only Thursday.

Beth I totally understand..and if you can't rant about this stuff here..where can you!? I know that this weekend will even be tough and its not even hard core holiday time yet!!! God give us strength!

Thats great!!! It must have given you warm fuzzies

so i snuck a peek this morning..i saw a teeny beeny loss..but thats ok..a loss is a loss and hopefully it will be better tommorow!!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Laura, we will miss each other by a day. I get to Orlando on Dec 5th at 9PM.

I'm so sad. We're checking out on the same day. Poop.

Laura...My hours switched from 3pm-11:30pm to 11am to 7:30pm. I am loving coming home early!

Cool beans. I only work one night a week but I get home after 11:30 pm it depends how much typing I have to do. Last night I got home at 11:45 pm. I can't wait until I can work "normal" hours once the kids are in school.

I vote at our local elementary school, and I am happy to report that I did not buy one item from the PTO election day bakesale! I do believe that is a first!

Good girl

Hey Peeps

Some I have not been on much...I have bronchitis and an ear infection...FUN FUN FUN!!!

Feel better Lauren

And all of the participants for the Christmas challenge. Again, let me known if you aren't on there and want to/should be.

Aaron can you add me too, I thought I posted it but mommy brain could be wrong. I would like to say 8 lb too.

THIS IS SOOO HARD this time of year!

I hear ya sista

Hey, peeps. I had a happy occurrence today. Two teachers stopped me and asked what I was doing to lose weight. I'm so glad someone noticed.

Well peeps tomorrow I need a colonoscopy (sorry if TMI) but I need to prep today. Clear liquids since 9 am. Then at 2 and 7 I drink this stuff and well you fill in the blank. My appointment is at 8:30 am tomorrow but I need to be there for 7:15 am. DH is staying home for the kids and then he'll come get me when I am done. I'm already starving. Drink more water, gulp gulp. Lunch is beef broth dinner is beef broth . Maybe I'll go to bed early.

Sounds like a wicked weight loss day! Wouldn't be surprised if you have a significant loss tomorrow morning! Good luck with the procedure!

 

[Sparkie]

Did someone change my name to Anne Sullivan (aka Helen Kellers teacher) ? Cause my mom thinks I am a miracle worker.


She asked me this morning- yes, I said THIS morning if I could get online and book a Disney trip for some friends of hers that are 65 and 67 with one member of the twosome handicapped and in a wheelchair and unable to walk more than a few feet for THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!!!!


Now I know that she thinks I got this Disney thing all figured out but I AINT that good.

Flight: Southwest : Depart 11/27 at 6:25 am; Return 11/30 at 7:25 am: Total cost of flight for 2 $620.

Room and 3 day base ticket, no dining plan and no ADR's - i wasnt even going to attempt that - The only available resort: Carribean Beach at a cost of $1025 for hotel and tickets.

(Now I do find it hard to believe that every single room at Disney is booked, every single value room maybe, but every single room??? I searched all the resorts- including the Delux resorts. You cant tell me that every room at the Grand Floridian is booked- but Disney says they are. If so then we should expect their stock to rise because apparently the "economic downturn" isnt quite so downward) Sorry just my little aside...... back to the story.....


So has my name changed????? Am I the miracle worker in disguise?

I feel so bad that I couldnt help them. They were wanting to suprise their kids and grandkids by crashing their Disney vacation.... which is another thing...... if they wanted Grandma and Grandpa to go.... dont you think they would have asked them in the first place???


I knew you guys would sympathize with me. Sorry for the rant.

I'm going ahead and posting for tomorrow.... Samer - AGAIN! Gotta get with this exercise thing.

You know, I think the best we can do over the next two months is just not over-do it. I've really trained myself to not think about how good those treats are, so it isn't that tough for me anymore. I think I just need to have "no thank you" tattooed to my forehead. But that's not to say that I'll completely behave. I'll still cave and have a few of the molasses cookies that have been a family tradition since my late grandma was a kid. And who can resist pumpkin pie with whipped cream? And when Saint Nick fills my stocking with candy, you can bet I'll have at least a few pieces before bringing the rest to work. But I figure this is such a huge improvement over how I used to be, that it is a win in the end.

Congrats on the compliment! Aren't random, out of the blue, completely unexpected compliments like that just the best?

WI_DisneyFan, if you could put me down for 8lbs by Christmas?
That'd be great.

Got you marked down!

Aaron can you add me too, I thought I posted it but mommy brain could be wrong. I would like to say 8 lb too.

You too! (And when in doubt, it's pretty safe to assume that I just skim too much and didn't see your post.)

Hey Annie! SO do they have to stay on property? I bet there are off site places available, and I wouldn't be surprised if every room is actually booked over that weekend. People plan for Thanksgiving weekend well in advance and I bet if it's already payed for they are going, bad economy or not.....but acually this is a blessing in disguise for the kids and grandkids (I'm sure they would be thanking you for not being able to book)...if my MIL decided to surprise us and crash our vacation, DH and I as well as DDs would not be pleased (to put it excessively mildly!)

We invited her along once, rented a bedroom villa at OKW - it was the vacation from Hades for all of us, except MIL, who thought it was wonderful. I did not know it was possible to have a horrible Disney vacation until we invited her along!

 

[UtahMama]

Has anyone else snuck a scale visit in today???

My smack-mates should be nervous

Although tonight is BUNKO rather than cardio so we'll see!
Wait a cotton-picking second. I have a tread mill/coat rack I can sweat whilst my kids are napping. WOOOT!

That's great! I bet that put a smile on your face. And congrats on your DH's loss as well.

Glad to hear it's starting to go down.

Ugh, good luck tomorrow. Hope it's over quick and everything is fine. And hopefully you'll see a good loss from this!

That's true. I can't expect perfection. As long as I'm not stuffing myself like holidays past, I suppose that's an accomplishment right there. Thanks!





Wishing everyone lots of luck tomorrow and some nice numbers on the scale!!
