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

I have a funny story to share. Our dog Ozzie has gone with DH to Starbucks at least once a week since shortly after he came to live with us. He is given a pup cup (small cup full of whipped cream) when they go through the drive through. He knows the word Starbucks and assocoiates it with his treat. He heard a Starbucks commercial the other day and thought DH was going to get a coffee. When DH didn't get up, he ran to the door, pranced around, ran back to DH trying to get him up and ran back to the door again. Dh had to promise to take him for his treat after I got home from work to calm him down. He also know Taco Bell and that he gets a cheese roll up when we go there. He's not a spoiled dog.......

LOVE IT!!! that is too cute!

hey, peeps! hope you guys are doing good. i made some fiber one apple cinnamon muffins on monday and they are very yummy! i highly recommend them for a quick breakfast. also, i've been trying those amy's organic frozen meals and they're really good!

i don't know if you guys remember or not but i broke my little toe on my left foot back in march. i've broken many toes in my life and i don't know if i'm getting old or what but it STILL hurts!!!! in the past my broken toes have healed with no problem but this one has been just awful. i had it x-rayed the day after i broke it because the entire top of my foot was bruised and i was afraid i'd broken something else. it was just my pinky toe but it was broken IN HALF. maybe that's why it's taking so long to heal. anyway, this makes exercising extremely frustrating and difficult. i can't run any more and i really enjoyed doing that. it hurts to walk on it for more than like half a mile. and when i'm doing any kind or cardio or weight training i have to be VERY careful not to put my entire body weight on that foot. for example with lunges i can't do a full lunge when my left foot is behind me. i still keep pushing on and doing what i can but i'm really getting frustrated with it!



that's so cute! i'll have to remember that about starbucks. my doggies would love that. every now and then we'll get them burgers from mcdonald's with no pickles. it's so funny - they won't eat pickles! whenever we first got them a burger we would cut the burgers up and put them in their bowls and i'd find little pieces of pickle all over the kitchen floor where they'd spit them out!

I love those fiber 1 muffins!!! thanks for reminding me of them..i need to grab a box this weekend. I sub in applesauce instead of the oil..makes them SUPER moist and extra appley yum!
Sorry about your toe still hurtin..not fun!
Your dogs are too funny about the pickles! Chiefy is like that if we give him anything with lettuce on it..its spit on the floor gotta love them!

Bummer about the toe! Although, you should be proud of yourself for still attempting to exercise with it. Me? I'd probably use it as an excuse to be lazy.

My dog has gotten so used to the McDonalds hamburgers (mainly my wife's doing) that she now expects burgers to come from ANY drive through. If we go to the drive-up ATM, she starts looking for a burger. Bank teller? She wants a burger. Our library has a drive-thru thing where you can return your books. I made the mistake of having her in the car when I returned some books. She whined and whimpered for the next 20 minutes until I finally broke down and went to McDonalds for one plain hamburger.

I hope everyone is having a good week! I went out for dinner last night to meet my friend's new girlfriend. I had a pecan crusted tilapia, which was about the only reasonably healthy thing on the menu. Everything else comes with a rich sauce or is smothered in butter.

Have a great weigh-in eve!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Oh, oh. Did I kill the DISappearing Peep thread?!? It is 10:15 am CST, and I'm the first to post my weight? Anyway, I'm a samer this week. I guess it is better than a gain, huh?

I hope to see a few more Peeps here this morning!

 

[willonlyflytodisney]

Hey Peeps - where is everyone???
I've been gone all week and I expected to have so much to catch up on!
Is this the week that all the peeps are in Disney??

Anyway - this week was the Birthday Extravaganza for my boyfriend - which went really well. We went to the New York Botanical Gardens and we saw Hair and In the Heights and we went to the Museum of Natural History - We had dinner at places where they made him stand up on the table and dance while they sang to him. And in hte mornings I made him Mickey Mouse Pancakes and Chocolate/Banana Crepes.
He loved every minute!!

But, despite the heavy eating, all that walking around did me good because I'm down .5 this morning

Happy weigh-in day!

Oh - and I get my first new ribbon!!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Just a fly-by from me - I am -3lbs!

 

[dance2874]

Where is everyone?? It has been super slow here! I am down .5 this week...which isnt much but I was sick with strep last weekend and sure made up for not eating when my throat felt better

On another note- we are headed for our first Daisy Girl Scout camping trip in the morning. DD is super excited, me not as much It is supposed to rain most the day tomorrow but at least we are camping in cabins so it shouldnt be too bad. Wish me luck!

 

[mousehouselover]

Sorry I'm a bit late with this. I had a pitch in at work so I needed to do a bit of cooking, we had a session with our trainer and of course; packing for our trip! In 48 hrs I'm going to be in WDW!!!

I'm very proud of myself. I kept up with the good habits I was developing last week. I did eat fast food but in moderate portions. I am -2 lbs this week.

I am going on vacation and that's been a huge trigger for me. I have a plan to keep from over eating. We have our final session with our trainer so we have measurements and a weigh in to finish the program. I can not gain while we are gone. That's going to be so hard. I'm starting to feel like I can't eat anything.

 

[dwheatl]

Up 2 lbs. I would like to totally blame it on the chaos in my life, but some of it is just plain bad choices.
Lots of family drama going on, including spending most of the last 3 days at the hospital with my mom, who has pneumonia. I actually ended up reporting a dr. who made me feel like carp in the emergency room because he felt that I should take her home and take care of her myself. The fact that she has now been in the hospital on various drugs since Wednesday, and is still not well enough to be released, backs up my point that I did not feel qualified to care for her in my home. That, and the fact that my house is not wheelchair accessible and that it takes 3 people to get my mom into and out of bed.
Part of my weight gain has come from feeling sorry for myself, making the decision to eat poorly, then being disappointed by the food, so continuing to eat poorly until something "hit the spot." Here's a hint to everyone - a hospital cafeteria quarter pounder with cheese in no way resembles the one you get at McDonald's.

This may turn out to be our last central FL vacation. DH and I have started househunting in the area. We weren't planing on moving back to FL for several more yrs but some things have come up that made us re-think our plan. I could be a FL resident by Christmas!!

Yeah for you

I just got my Mickey Monitor, there's all kinds of cool stuff in it. It's making me even more excited to get there on Monday.

I have a funny story to share. Our dog Ozzie has gone with DH to Starbucks at least once a week since shortly after he came to live with us. He is given a pup cup (small cup full of whipped cream) when they go through the drive through. He knows the word Starbucks and assocoiates it with his treat.

What's a Mickey Monitor?

That's funny about the dog stories. My DD3 knows when we go to the bank she gets a lollipop.

I'm skipping my weigh in for this week because yesterday (may 15) was my DH's 40th birthday so we went to Outbacks and then we had cake at home that I made for him. Plus today I had another piece of cake for breakfast (just because it's there) and I'm throwing him a surprise party tonight. We had no idea. He thinks we're dropping off DS7 to a birthday party (which he really has around the corner from DH's aunt house where his party is) and then going to the mall with the other two. I just have to think of a way to get him to his aunt's - maybe someone will have to go to the bathroom.

Dannielle~ Dealing with sick parents suck and it's worse when the Drs don't want to listen to you. We've been around that block with DH's condition. I had a Dr kick me out of the exam room the last time he had to go to the ER. We were already in the hospital for his blackouts and he got a horrible migraine. The nurses in his PCP's office sent him down to emergency because they couldn't manage his headache. He was curled in the fetal position, clutching his head and fighting a massive cluster headache. He was having a hard time thinking and was relying on me to help give his history to a Dr unfamiliar with his case. DH requested that I stay and she told him I had to leave. Needless to say; I had a little chat with the patient advocacy rep. I hate arrogant Drs.

Laura~ The Mickey Monitor is a magazine with all kinds of park news for AP holders. A lot of it isn't 'new' as the DIS insiders usually scoop the quarterly publications. Congrats to your DH! Good luck with the surprise party! We're secuduled to see houses on Monday. The one I really wanted to see went on contract yesterday and I'm pretty bummed about it.

 

[mousehouselover]

It's 1 am, we leave in 4 hours and I am having a hard time going to bed...... I'm too excited to sleep....... DH is going to kill me if he finds out how little sleep I'm getting.

I have another funny to share. Tonight the kids were playing a video game with their uncle and there was a line in the audio about getting a certian character to help with the mission because the the team needed his expertise. DS looked perplexed for a moment then asked what they were going to do with the extra cheese.

Have a great trip. Hope you get a little sleep tonight. Even 2 hours is better than nothing.

Extra cheese!

Hi Peeps!

Remember me? For the past few months I have not been very peepish. I have also been extremely busy and not on the computer much at all for fun stuff, like DIS-ing. But with my ABD Ireland trip coming up in less than a month, I have buckled down hardcore with dieting. I started last Monday and as of Friday I was down 3.6 lbs. I'm south beaching for now because it works quick and the tummy fat goes first. And I have lots of pants that I need to fit for my trip that do not at the moment. I have not felt this motivated in a very long time so I know I will be able to stick with it. In my past attempts over the last few months, I'd wouldn't even make it a day. And I have made it 6 days already.

In other news, the school year is almost over. Actually my last day for therapy is next week but I still have paperwork, etc to do as well.

My baby doodle Winston has continued to have lots of tummy troubles. My Vet, bless his heart, has been amazing with him and me. And looks like between the both of us we have concluded that he has a sensitive stomach that acts up when he is excited/nervous or if he eats something other than his food. We've had some other minor issues as well, but let's just say that the Vet has gotten to know me very well over the past few months. Too bad I recently found out he is married because I had the biggest crush on him. What a cutie!

So that's what has been happening with me. Working, South Beaching, trips to the Vet, and packing/planning for Ireland!

What has been going on here? Lots of new names I see...any exciting news?

Hi Shannon

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Just checking in from the World! We have an amazing view of the Boardwalk. We are almost right above Jellyrolls. I'll post pics once they're uploaded, but I haven't started doing that yet, so not sure when that will be. Anywho, miss my Peeps, but we are having a great time. I'm gonna start emptying my memory card now. We are off to Trail's End for dinner at 5:15 and then MK for the rest of the night. Talk to ya all later.

[UGABelle]

Hi Peeps!

I'm one of the bad ones that didn't weigh in on Friday. Work got a little hectic, and I didn't make it back on the DIS. As of Fri. I was up +1.4 left-over from our big "all you can eat/drink" trip. I am working to get back into my normal workout and eating patterns, which should help me this week

to those dealing with family illness and stress and for our Peeps in Disney right now - count me in as jealous!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Lots of pixie dust for your mom!!!!
