~DISappearing PEEPS~Vol. IV Come Play With Us!!!!!

[ArielSRL]

You might want to PM Lynda (DisneyFreak) and let her know your real name and that you are waiting to be approved. I'm not sure who else has that power.

Things are slow here. How can I show off my new ticker if nobody is around?

Thanks!

Hey all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. It was beautiful on Saturday, so I spent all day planting stuff around the house. I got a little sun, but I realized it in time and put on sunscreen and a hat before I got burnt. Plus I got a few walks in this weekend, so all-in-all it was a good weekend health wise. I weighed the same this morning as I did on Friday, which is definitely a good thing. Now hopefully I can lose a little bit this week and I'll be a happy Peep on Friday.

Here is the first week's Memorial Day challenge update. (I recorded mine as a zero because I'm using Friday's weight as my starting weight for this challenge.)

We're meeting with someone tonight to give us an estimate on a paver block patio. The number he gives us will go a long way towards determining if we go through with our December WDW trip or not. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he comes back with a number that I like.

Have a great day everybody!

Hope you get a different kind of pretty number, Aaron.

Hope you get a different kind of pretty number, Aaron.

Agreed.

Hoping for one myself with financial aid this week. Yikes!
Also finding out what my salary will be for my summer job. Big week for numbers.
Not expecting happy ones from the scale because this was a big family party weekend: birthday dinner, baby shower, and kid's birthday party. I couldn't resist the ice cream cake.

Here's hoping to make the msot of the next few days.
Once school ends in two and a half weeks, I'll be able to start working out in the morning which will help A LOT I think.

Another ditto here. hope that you got the number you needed!

I am off to the dentist today for the first of my many upcoming appointments. I am so dreading it. At least they give me nitrous to take the edge off my jitters. And if my mouth is sore it means I wont be filling it with junk later today

 

[willonlyflytodisney]

Guys??

Things are soooo slow here.

What happened to daily updates?
I guess it's good news because it means everyone is busy, probably busy working out or keeping a healthy lifestyle.

But I miss coming home and reading the posts from the day!!

Oh well.
Anyway, today was the 10th anniversary of my grandfather's death, so I worked out extra hard to take my mind off of it. But... now I'm watching old videos. Jillian yelling at you only takes your mind off of things for so long

On a happier note, anyone notice KFC's new Kentucky GRILLED chicken? I saw the commercial this morning. I guess they finally realized in this health-crazy time, they needed something a BIT healthier

Hey Peeps!

Yesterday I took a well deserved day off from working out. I drank 5 bottles of water and ate clean ....Only 2 weeks and 2 days until I go to Disney! I plan on working out on the cruise I can't go 14 days straight without doing something.

 

[mousehouselover]

Stacey~ I'm here, checking in everyday and trying to stay OP. Having some relationship issues so I'm distracted and haven't been working out as much. No appetite either.... Hope your financial aid package looks good.

Jen~ Hope you did ok at the dentist.

Aaron~ pixie dust for a good quote from the contracor. WTG on the yardwork!

hey peeps.
i have been a slacker the last 2 days...decent with food but not working out..but i am back to it today..i will at least go for a nice long walk with the dog and do some weight work and crunches..tommorow will be a bigger cardio day..all in prep for friday's weigh in !! I did a sneak peak this morning and i am slightly up..but i am determined to change that between now and then!!

 

[daisy_77]

Good morning!

I have been sticking to my eating plan and drinking water....I have not exercised much though. My pedometer did hit 15000 steps on Monday, though.

I am at home today from work with a sick kiddo. I will try to get some sort of exercise in since I am home.


Have a great day everyone!

 

[dance2874]

Hey everyone!

Dentist was NO fun yesterday and I am pretty sore today. I have to go back next week too The good news is that will be the last of my scary appointments, then I get to do ZOOM as my reward to myself for getting all the ouchy teeth fixed!

The other good thing about the dentist was I was too sore to overeat yesterday which led to a great WW weigh in last night. (which I will hold onto for Fridays peep weigh in)

I have been working hard on the exercise too. My latest 'trick myself into working out' gimmick is parking several blocks from school when it is time to go get my daughter and bringing the wagon. So I have to talk a very long, brisk 20 min walk to get her (pulling one kiddo) and then to get back to the car (pulling both kiddos). I have been burning about 450 calories each time I do it. (according to the body bugg) I am working toward doing this at least 3 times a week and it makes a big difference!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

That is a great idea! One of the things I don't like about Jillian Michaels is that she seems to poo-poo the idea of doing things like this to get yourself healthy. I remember earlier this season on Biggest Loser, she got into a rant about gaining muscle and losing inches is B.S., that the goal is to lose weight. And on one workout DVD of hers that I have, she says something to the effect of just taking the stairs instead of the elevator and stuff like that isn't good enough. Which I guess I agree with to a point. But to completely dismiss those little things really seems short-sighted to me. The goal should be living an overall healthy life; and not everybody (especially people with two young kids) have an hour or two every day to work out. So making small changes like this I think are very important in an overall lifestyle change.

Anyway, I'm doing all right. I haven't gotten much exercise in the past week, but I've been really good with my eating so that's my one saving grace. I did do some strength training last night. And I ran out to the stone yard this morning to look at the different styles and colors of concrete pavers. We got the quote back for the one I initially liked, but when I went out there this morning I saw another one that I liked a little better. So now I'm waiting to get the estimate on that one. The initial quote for the other one was a little higher than I was looking to spend, but certainly not prohibitive. We'll just have to tighten our belts a little bit over the next few months, and we should still be on track for WDW.

Have a great day everybody!

YAY, that you are sill on track for your trip!!

I know Jillian says something like that in the video of hers I use and it bugs me. Sure, taking the stairs or a few walks isnt going to be enough to make a total body change overnight but every step counts And when I see that my little walks are burning so many calories I know it is a good idea to keep it up. I am bummed because it is over 90 degrees here today so we are skipping the walk. I am going to try to do one later tonight when it gets a bit cooler but I dont want the kids out in the hot sun this afternoon if I can help it...and in this case I can.

Hey everyone!

then I get to do ZOOM as my reward to myself for getting all the ouchy teeth fixed!

Not sure what others thought of ZOOM, but it didn't last very long for me. And it was fairly expensive. My teeth did get whiter but only for a little bit of time. I did bleach this past summer and the results werent as noticeable but they last longer. Am going to continue the bleach again to try to go whiter.

Just wanted to share my experience.

Hey Peeps!

Well, for Administrative Professionals' Day the office got us Olive Garden and a cookie bouquet. I had a salad and 1 breadstick and skipped the lasagna. But I did have a large cookie though. IT HAD MY NAME ON IT!!! How could I NOT eat it? I did try to compensate by having less for dinner and working out an extra 20 minutes. So I did 60 minutes on the treadmill and 20 on the bike tonight. Hope it's enough. I'll try to be extra good tomorrow too.

I went through my shorts and capris last night and tried on to see what will work for our upcoming trip. After trying on everything I had in circulation last summer, DH suggested seeing if I had anything in my OLD stuff. I found a pair of shorts that were 14's that I wore on our honeymoon almost 7 years ago. They fit!!! They didn't just fit. They fit like I'd wear them in public!! I'm thrilled! Getting SO close to where I want to be!

How cool is that?!? Way to go!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Well, I'm not sure what Friday's weigh-in will bring. Another trip out to the stone yard, plus a trip to the store to get a lawn mower battery, meant no exercising again for me tonight. I was down a smidge this morning, so we'll see how that translates. But I did manage to avoid the lunch that my work catered in for Administrative Professionals Day. (I'm not an administrative professional, but they cater in lunches every year on this day as a "thanks" for the hard work that we all put in.) So at least I know that I'm not doing anything to sabotage myself. Hopefully next week my workout routine can get back to normal.

Nighty night!

Yay! that's great news.
We finally had a break in the weather today, so I was able to get on the exercise bike and do floor exercises. I have been really good about the water the last 3 days because it's been so hot here.
to all the peeps. Make good choices! Weigh day is only a day away.

That is AWSOME!! Way to go!!



Well for Administrative Professional Day we were given a 25 dollar gift card to Boston Store. I thought that was very nice. No food sabatoge for me!




Ok I need some adivse as to what to do regarding my DD and an incident at school yesterday. My daughter was in her health class yesterday talking with a friend ( a boy ) when he bent down and she jokingly said (not loudly ) insert boy's name here, I see your tidy whities. Well the child ahead of her heard this and well this child proceeded to tease the friend about his tidy whities. The teacher somehow got wind of this and instead of taking care of this herself took it to the vice principal.

Now my DD is a honor student has never been in trouble. The vice principle has given her a dentention, is making write a letter of apology to the student and himself, and she is not able to go on the big class field trip at the end of the year. All for saying she saw someones tidy whities? She in no way was making fun of him. She apologized to him right away. Even the boy said that it was alright that he knew she was just joking. He in no way was upset by this.

Now should she have said that? NO She was in my opinion being a typical 12 year old. Do they always know when to keep comments to themself? NO But do most adults? NO

So I don't know what to do. She was so upset last night crying and crying saying she didn't mean anything by it and she was sorry. We talked about this at length about when it is appropriate and not appropriate in making comments. Am I right in thinking the vice principal over did it with punishment? I left a voice mail and hopefully will talk with him today. What should I say?
