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

[WI_DisneyFan]

well, it's official - swine flu is now in georgia. i know this sounds selfish but i'm really worried we will have to cancel our NYC trip in 3 weeks because of this thing. grrrrrrr...

i am flying to NYC on airtran in a few weeks (if our trip doesn't get postponed because of swine flu) so i will let you know how we like it. i knew about the luggage fee but i didn't know about the pre-selection of seats fee. but that's okay - i don't care where i sit anyway because it's only a two-hour flight. i already have a prescription for xanax for the trip because i HATE flying too!

We just had our first reported case of the swine flu in my county yesterday. Still no talk of closing schools (not that it would affect me anyway), but our HR guy sent a memo yesterday reminding everybody to wash their hands and face, don't come to work if you are feeling sick, inform them if you are travelling to Mexico, etc. Pretty much common sense stuff (except for that part about letting them know if you're going to Mexico).

The seat selection fee is only for the lower fare classes. Otherwise I think you get to do that for free. But as I said before, my wife is a nervous flier, and she read somewhere that the plane ride is smoother if you are by a wing. So now she insists that we get seats next to a wing when we fly, which is what makes the pre-selection important to us.

Hey Peeps

I have decided to not weigh in this Friday and next Friday. We leave on May 9th for our vacation and I am seeing myself the past couple of weeks becoming a little OCD with the number I am going to see on the scale. I have been eating healthy, working out and overall feeling better but I don't want to be fixated on a stupid goal weight that I have set in my mind before I went on vacation. Last week I weighed 130 and I had this goal that I had to be under 130 before I left. My low weight last year was 126 I am getting to fixated on numbers and not overall how I look and feel... I know I have often times posted on here I have to work on my "all of nothing attitude" I had one binge already on thursday because of that kind of thinking and I would hate to sabotage myself even more because of a number on the scale. My clothes fit great, I got super cute outfits for my trip and I feel strong and healthy. I am trying to get in the head who cares what the scales says. regardless if I weigh 130 or 128 what is the difference would anyone other than myself really be able to tell the difference to the point that I have to obsess over it.

I plan on working on while we are on the cruise portion of the trip and while we are in wdw I plan on doing what I always do. eating what I want but half off it and being in control of my head.

anyway I hope that made sense

That's pretty much where I am as well. I think I am the poster boy for plateauing right now, but I'm trying not to worry about it too much. I try to keep everything in perspective by looking at my before/after pictures and reminding myself just how healthy I am now compared to a few years ago. Like you said, is there a huge difference between 163 and 159? Probably not enough to lose sleep over.

Morning Everyone! Have a good day and think skinny thoughts!

Went to a tricky tray last night and Im not feeling to skinny this
morning. Maybe after a shower and I put myself together on this
rainy day I'll feel better. Going to concert tonight so I will get
some excercise in there as well as before hopefully pending on
the rain...

Tricky Tray??? Care to enlighten a confused Peep?

Well, as I mentioned before, I am the epitome of plateauing. I gained 0.6 pounds this week, which honestly isn't a huge surprise after I lost almost two pounds last week without doing a darn thing. So since the start of the year, I've lost about a grand total of two pounds. But the weather should start getting real nice, real soon. So the dog and I should have plenty of time to walk and jog over the next few months.

flying by....i am down .8 this week..yay..now to keep it moving downward.
I def. feel good this week about the workouts i did...i got 5 out of 7 days in..so i am pretty psyched about that. My mission for this week is to do 6 out of 7 days and really not go over my weekly pts..i went over by about 5 this week..(included activity and flex..) ..so i imagine if i was better about that then i would have seen a full lb down or more!! so that is motivation for me to do better with that this week
have a great weekend everyone!!!

Just to warn you, if you don't do the pre-selection, you may not get to sit together. Not sure if that matters to you or not.

The last time I went to Disney, we had ressies with AirTran and then they cancelled our flight. I was so ticked b/c they didnt offer anything remotely close in time, so I got a refund and we booked through Delta. Because of the fees Airtran charged, the Delta flight was actually $1 cheaper (no seat selection fees)!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Well Im not weighing in this week as ive just recommitted!

Good luck everyone

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Just stopping in to say I'm a SAMER this week. Will catch up over the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[ArielSRL]

I'm not weighing in either. This is the last 3 weeks of school - I'm a first grade teacher - and it is crazy. We have had so many celebrations and goodies...I'm still sticking to my diet as much as I can and working out 3 days a week, but I am staying the same pretty much or maybe gaining a little. As soon as school is over - kids last day is May 20th - I will get back in control of the food and also plan to start working out 5 days a week. So until then, I am just trying to do the best I can.

 

[dance2874]

Hey peeps! Happy to report I am -1.4 today I really thought my body was going to revolt and plateau this week because I have had a few good weeks in a row but I am still down! Whoohoo!!

I did drag myself to boot camp today and I am really glad I did. It was much better and I feel great after going. Really helped work the soreness out from weds.

Hope everyone else is having a great day!

Makes total sense. I am the same way. I am very OCD about 'the number' and it can really mess with your head.

Yes, what is a tricky tray??

 

[willonlyflytodisney]

Hey fellow peeps,
I'm a samer this week - which I contribute mostly to my terrible eating habits this week followed by a crazy amount of working out the past two days. Talk about crazy haha

But, I've set a higher number for my exercise minutes for May, so that should bring some results. But, samer is fine by me.

Hope everyone is doing well.
And yes, I want to know what a tricky tray is, too haha

 

[DisCanCan]

I am down 2.5 Not bad for my first week...

The one I do (3o day shred) does have quite a bit but it is in 2 min increments so it wouldnt be too bad I dont think. But I guess it depends on how easily noise travels. I have lived in apartments where we could bang on the floor and it didnt matter, nobody heard it. And some with paper thin walls where you could hear everything. I wouldnt let that stop me from getting it. Just be considerate as to the time of day you do them

Thanks for the advice. I will give them a try

OK forget my weigh in I have been all over the place and grabbing food here and there. I have been working a 2nd full time job and thankfully it will be over on the 20th so no weigh in till then. I thought of so many of you wonderful Mom's here and wanted to share this with you:

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.



Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin....
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt..
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom..

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .

Send this to someone who you think is an awesome Mom...

May you always be overwhelmed by the Grace of God rather than by the cares of life

up .4 Committed to write down everything I eat starting today, whether it's on plan or not.

Fidge - My niece and I were just talking about how the world changes when you are a mother. thanks for sharing that.

Aaron - They closed the high school 3 blocks from our house because of swine flu. We've been told that if our school is closed, we may not be able to enter the building for up to 2 weeks. DH was on the news tonight, commenting on how our district is handling the whole situation. I think most of the closings here have been precautionary, because the flu that has been going around here for a month (I had it during spring break) has the same symptoms.

 

[willonlyflytodisney]

Hey peeps!
So finals are coming up - aahhh!!!
I attended MY first First Communion today, which was very interesting, as I was raised half Jewish half Catholic. LONG conversations with both sides of the family today about religion which was NOT fun, but it made me lose my appetite, so that helped. And as soon as I got home, I was able to work out for awhile instead of vegging.
YAY for crazy families
Disclaimer: This is not a dig at anyone religious, I just have two very religious families that are fighting over which religion I should be. Now that I'm old enough to make my own decisions, it's a little easier, but it's still the same fight.
Anyway, hope everyone else's weekend is going well.

Hope everyone's weekend is going well! Enjoy!

For those of you who remember, my mom (who was diagnosed in January with pancreatic cancer) is doing so good. Her tumor shrank 25% but is still very close to a vein and they want to see if they can shrink it a lit bit more so more chemo for her. She went back to work. She needs to save some of her short term disability for after the surgery. She's doing really well and I'm starting to feel better now, emotionally. I still worry but not as much.

Good news too, we are still going to try to go to WDW in Nov/Dec for at least 5 days and then go next year for 4-5 days. DH is in construction and the guy that he sub's for lost a BIG job to other bids and nothing is lined up at the moment so DH said we probably won't go to WDW But he told me not to cancel anything and when the time comes I'm going to buy our tickets for the Christmas parade (I drew a blank on the name ). Those go on sale May 1st. Do those have to be paid for now or can they just go on my balance? We might not go go this year and save it for next year when we go, I don't know yet.

That's great news about your mom and I'll keep my fingers crossed for your upcoming trip.

Okay Peeps! It's finally here! I graduate this Friday night May 8th. I hoping for beautiful weather because graduation will be held outdoors. Saturday (May 9th) is the RN pinning ceremony and then my sister is having a party for me that evening. Keep your fingers crossed that the rain will move out & the temp. will go back up. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I forgot to weigh in last week. I am going to say I was the SAME Because we went out for chinese last night ( and we all know what that does to ones self right? My scale was not looking so good this morning.) and I am not feeling so hot right now. I will be drinking a ton of water today. But it sure tasted good!
Have a good week everyone.
