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

[UtahMama]

Hey everyone, sad day.

One of the kids in my class lost his mom to a car wreck today. We're all in total shock. I knew his mom slightly when she was a chaperone at a school event and she was a really funny lady and I liked her a lot. We're so sad and feel so bad for the kid, he's really nice. Just before Christmas too. Just wondering if you could all spare some good thoughts for him, I think he'll need it.

Anyways, I got my Christmas shopping done today and walked a whole lot. I'm really exhausted but managed to eat pretty good today.

Oh NOOOO! Prayers sent!

Aaron, if you're out there and keeping track for the Christmas challenge, I'm down .6 today. I know I didn't meet my goal, but I did the best I've done on any of the challenges.

We went out to dinner last night, and I feel pretty good about it. DH and I split a salad, and split the lime-grilled chicken entree. It was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and rice. We kept the potatoes, but switched the rice with steamed veggies. If only we could always be this good.

First prayers for all my lime green peeps and theirs this holiday! Second I made an angel food cake roll with lo-cal mousse and powedered sugar and passed on the icing, accompanied with rasberries. Hope all you peeps have a safe, happy and healthy Christmas!

God Bless!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY PEEPS! JOY AND PEACE TO ALL OF YOU IN 2009!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Merry freakin' Christmas! Do we REALLY have to exercise today?

It's snowing-snowing. As in white out. As in dig yourself out. UGH!

Unfortunately, my sister in law is hosting the family-fun today and she has a power outage...so I'm the only one with a house big enough to be the plan B gal. UGH!!!! So I must clean the mountain of bullet-proof packaging and gift wrap much sooner than I wanted to. BAH!

I got a new Sonic Care tooth brush which tickles like CRAZY. It's 2 minutes of tickle torture!

Seriously, Merry Christmas Peep family!!!!

how terrible. the boy, his family & friends will be in my thoughts.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Thanks everyone, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Happy Holidays!

I ended up getting a whole bunch of workout clothes, arm weights, armband that holds my mp3 while I'm working out, new running shoes and a pilates video for Christmas!
I did get more things but that was the exercise related stuff. I'm really excited, I just did my new pilates video in my new shoes (Nike, and are SO comfy).

Whose crazy idea was it to exercise? Alright, I'll get on the bike soon. I hope I can do it without spewing. I ate a ridiculous amount today (in honor of Baby Jesus, of course).
Sorry about the Exedrin headache of everyone suddenly coming to your house. It was stressful enough here when I knew everyone was coming. We did have a lot of fun though. DD got a Dance Dance Revolution jr. so we got a little exercise. She also got Wall-e and a Wall-e robot that hooks up to her iPod and plays music. Very cute. I love having an 18 y.o. that likes toys.
Too funny about the sonic care. I love ours, because I hate flossing, and since I got the SC, my dentist thinks I floss regularly. I just can't use it when I have a killer headache. Too vibrate-y.

 

[Pakey]

Hope all of you peeps had a great holiday. We are not celebrating with our sons until tomorrow so it doesn't really feel like Christmas yet. We went to the movies with youngest DS (28) which is our tradition and as always, he picked the worst movie showing (The Day the Earth Stood Still). And then after, my husband and I went to my family gathering for the first time in a decade (my feelings of resentment and animosity died with my cancer) and it was actually very nice to spend a few hours with all of them.

Wendy, last minute holiday gathering, that would be my worst nightmare. I would need a 2 week notice just to make a dent in the messes here. And the storms in SLC better be gone in 4 weeks since we are changing planes there on our way to Orlando and I don't want anything delaying my date with a certain mouse.

It's been raining here all day so I was not able to take the dogs out for the walk I had planned. But I did manage to skip any dessert today since I couldn't exercise.

I hope everyone is having a marvelous holiday.

This is a little late but Merry Chirstmas everybody.

I had the best Christmas ever.... not because of the gifts but because my mom is home. She is still very weak and on oxygen but ...she is home.

SnowWhite: so sorry to hear about your friend's mom.

Ok... so we are now on the countdown to a New Year..... What will you change this year to be a healthier you?

I think I have had trouble because I try to do it all at once- restrict calories, eat cardboard food, drown myself in water, exercise to exhaustion and that lasts only a VERY limited time and then I feel so deprived that I just give up and quit yet again only to be disappointed in myself- then have myself a little pity party- and i'm right back to square one....

Anybody else out there like me?

So I think I'm going to set a goal for exercise. And not worry about the other stuff... I wil later of course but for right now - just one thing at a time-

I have to start slow but I'm going for a minimum of 10 min of activity 3 times a day- I also HATE- and I mean HATE going to the gym- its BORING to me. I just cant stand to be on that equipment walking to nowhere...So I think I will just walk at home or work for 10 min or maybe dance like a kid in my living room for 10 min- anything .... because anything has got to be better than nothing, right?

So - here's to a new year, and a new me and you

That sounds really yummy. Merry Christmas to you as well.

I hope so because I didn't not like at all what I saw on the scale this morning, not good, not good at all.

Me, me, me (raising my hand). I think that's a good idea. Start with ONE goal at a time.


Merry Christmas everyone. Busy yesterday and no time to DIS

Guess what DH got me for Christmas. An excerise ball and excercise bands. I'm so excited because I really wanted these. On sparkpeople they have all sorts of excersies to do.

My first goal for next week is my water for a week and watch my food intake. Then the following week is going to introduce excerising.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Snow_White - so very sorry to hear about your friends mum

Sparkie - Thats great that your mum is home

Well peeps - the food frenzy is officially over! I woke up this morning feeling like I'd gained 20 stone in weight! I felt blah!
So, in the run up to the new year its watching the mindless nibbling and drinking plenty of water!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas

YUMMMM! And good job on making it "lightish".

It is my understanding that for the next 2 Fridays, no reports are necessary.

Except for you! JK, I wouldn't do that to you! Free Passes today...BUT...Friday we're ON again!

Too funny about the sonic care. I love ours, because I hate flossing, and since I got the SC, my dentist thinks I floss regularly. I just can't use it when I have a killer headache. Too vibrate-y.

Yes, I ate a dessert in hono(u)r of the baby Jesus too. LOL! This, of course, made my tummy hurt for about an hour after, but it was worth it. ACK!

I do not know who INSISTED we exercise, but they are in BIG trouble. I have to confess, although gung-ho at the time, I didn't get on my tread mill at all on Christmas day or Eve. In fact, my box of bows and gift wrap are ON it at the moment. I'll make up for my laziness later. Maybe today. I AM needing to do SOME kind of movement other than clean post holiday clutter-o-doom.

OK, on the Sonic Care.... will I get used to the unbelievable tickling of the lingual surfaces of my upper teeth? OY, it's a giggle-fest just brushing my teeth!

Too vibrate-y? THAT made me laugh!!!

Wendy, last minute holiday gathering, that would be my worst nightmare. I would need a 2 week notice just to make a dent in the messes here. And the storms in SLC better be gone in 4 weeks since we are changing planes there on our way to Orlando and I don't want anything delaying my date with a certain mouse.

It turns out, my sister-in-law's power went back on just after I posted that news. WHEW, I didn't have to host "Christmas Family Fun" after all.

How long will you be at the airport??????

I am the same way. All or Nothing. Feast or Famine. Sooooo....

I just want to continue the track I've been on since July 1st. Eat clean. Weight train. Cardio. More water. Be good to myself.

Well peeps - the food frenzy is officially over! I woke up this morning feeling like I'd gained 20 stone in weight! I felt blah!

I love you, sophisticated, foreign friend!


Peeps! I posted some pics of my family's Christmas on Facebook. I have no idea how to re-size, rotate, etc. and post them in to my photobucket for DIS viewing, but somehow managed to stumble into posting them on Facebook all by myself (Just in case you were interested. I'm SURE y'all are thrilled @@.)

I admit, it was my idea, I had been exercising every day this week, but yesterday, I was pooped. We went out to look at Christmas lights instead. DH and I are headed to the gym now, in light of the fact that the scale says I am WAY up today. DH convinced me to get back on Nutrisystem today, even though we are headed to DL Monday (our 24th anniversary!). You can't believe how many carbs went in the garbage can today. Pie, cookies, candy. I hate to waste them, but if they stay here, I will waist them. Nobody else in the family wants them, and they were not in the kind of shape you can take to the shelter. So, into the trash they go.

Hope everyone is doing OK w/the post-Christmas letdown. I'm hoping exercise will lift my spirits.
