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

[DisneyDreamtime]

Hi guys! Got room in here for a newbie? Hope it’s not too late to join…

I’ve been lurking on the boards for close to a year and finally got around to joining this weekend. I’ve also been looking for some motivation and support to help get rid of this baby weight – especially since my ‘baby’ will be turning 3 in a few weeks!!

And confession time – I discovered this thread yesterday, but wanted to wait until after I had my big Easter dinner today before I posted (oh, and a couple of those Cadbury Eggs – my #1 Easter weakness)! Sort of my one last big indulgence before I get down to business – tomorrow is Day 1 of my big weight loss adventure.

My problem is that in the past few years I have had so many Day 1’s. I may make it to day 30 or 60, then something happens (illness, holidays, etc) – I fall off the wagon and it’s so hard to get back on. I’m hoping to make some friends here that will help give me that little push I need to get on the exercise bike and stay away from those evil vending machines at work! Is it just me, or does anyone else hear those candy bars calling around 3:00 in the afternoon?!?!

I’m planning a huge mother/daughter trip to WDW that is still several years away (2012!). I don’t want to look at the pictures from that trip and have a hard time distinguishing between me and Pooh! (I’d rather look at the pictures and have a hard time distinguishing between me and Jasmine!!). So I’ve got plenty of time to get healthy, which is good, because I’ve got plenty of weight I want to lose (at least 50lb!).

I know it won’t happen overnight, but hopefully over the next year I can lose the weight, then maintain it until my trip – and beyond!

So if you guys will have me, I’d love to join in! It may just be the motivation I need to finally stick with it this time!

Welcome, DD.Some of us have babies much older than yours, and we are still working on the weight (just check my siggie).

I get that three p.m. craving, too. That's when my students leave and I still have a couple of hours of work to do, but I'd rather eat than get down to business.

DisneyDreamTime,


Today was a feast! Oh, boy! But, I did better than any other year. I ate a lot, but I ate a lot of vegetables and a lot of salad, so I was very proud. This really is a lifestyle change and I just have to take it one step at a time.

Happy Easter/Passover to everyone! In Ukrainian, we say Christos vos crez!

nice job on the veggie munchin!

I did pretty well at Easter dinner ..i did have a slice of my mom's AMAZING ricotta cake..( but hey, it was made with light ingredients so it wasn't TOO bad..and it was WORTH IT! heehee)..and i did have just ONE cadbury egg..MY goodness those are sweet..and 3pts so at least i counted it!
Have a great day everyone..anyone elses allergies in full force today!? i feel like i should have a kleenex taped to my nose!

Monday again....ugh. I am so tired of getting up so early every day getting DD ready for school. I honestly cant wait til summer!!

And today is back on the wagon for me. I got seriously derailed yesterday. I may have to do my Jillian workout 2 times (or more) today to counteract the damage I did.

On another note- wish me luck everyone. I am going to the dentist today and to say I am nervous is an understatement. It is a new dentist for me and I have so much work that needs done. Today is just a cleaning and exam but I will get my 'estimate' and am pretty sure I will pass out when I see it. I did give the receptionist a heads up that I will be needing laughing gas for sure when I made the appointment though....I am such a wimp I need it even for cleanings.

Thanks for all the good wishes for my uncle!! He wasn't looking too great when I was there, and he slept most of the time because of the pain meds. (He fell and hurt his shoulder before he went into the hospital.) My mom called this morning and said he is looking a lot better today. He starts the new round of radiation today. His cancer was already stage 4 when diagnosed so we are not expecting him to be cured. I just hope that he doesn't suffer a great deal along the way.

I am headed back to the doctor today. On Saturday my throat was swollen again, and it's been a week now since I finished the antibiotics! And yesterday my eye was messed up again and is still quite red and sore today. So I am going to tell them they need to get me fixed this time! I have a trip coming up for crying out loud! Not to mention the fact that I am sick of not being 100%.

I hope everyone had a great Easter (or whatever you celebrate ). And WELCOME to our newbie!!

I frequently have a Thomas' double fiber english muffin (I think those are the ones that are 110 calories and 8 grams of fiber). I top them with 2 tb. of the peanut butter/tofu spread (1 pt. per tbs) I posted the recipe for in the past. That is a pretty decent breakfast for 3 points... plus a hot drink and fruit and I am ready to go!

I know I am behind in responding but I was on Spring Break last week and I usually check this at work. I get the Thomas' Multigrain which is 100 cal and 8 grams fiber. I top it with a serving of light cream cheese or simply fruit blackberry jelly, which makes it 3 total points, also.

Welcome aboard!

I'm glad to see the thead is picking up a little bit! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I think I committed a minor Peepicide this weekend. Nothing overly dramatic like eating an entire bag of Easter candy or anything like that - but I did consume a few more Easter cookies than I should have. And I know a few desserts somehow made it into my mouth. So I am not looking forward to this Friday. One step forward, two steps back.

Here are the results of the Easter challenge for the few who participated.

Have a great day everybody!

 

[willonlyflytodisney]

Great job to those who did the Easter challenge.
Are we doing a Memorial Day challenge?
If so, put me in for 5 pounds

Hope everyone's Easter was fantastic!
Here's to a new week and working those bunnies and peeps off!

Memorial Day sounds perfect -- 6 weeks to lose. I'll commit myself to 3 pounds. That should hopefully put me under 160. I say hopefully because I really hope I don't gain more than a pound this week.

 

[HockeyKat]

Aaron, you can fix mine to be a total loss of 1.2. Not great, but considering that I pretty much lept off the wagon head-first for at least 2 solid weeks, maybe more, I am content with it.

I don't do so well with challenges so am abstaining...

 

[DisneyDreamtime]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Well, day 1 is just about behind me, and so far so good. I resisted those candy bars that were calling for me at 3 this afternoon, and instead quieted that rumble in my tummy with a nice apple. Got a nice 30 minute walk in on my lunch hour, including lots of stairs. Now I'm getting ready to hop on the bike. One day at a time!!

I'll get in on that Memorial Day challenge - put me down for 5 pounds!

 

[LMO429]

Hey Aaron

Please put me down for 4 pounds for the memorial day challenge! thanks!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Aaron - Please put me down for 3 lbs. I have a Disney trip approaching, and I don't think I'll get beyond that amount and keep it all off during the trip so hopefully I can at least get and keep 3 lbs off.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Put me down for 2 lbs!

I got this new Golds Gym Cardio Workout. It's mostly boxing but they have some other exercise as well. It's very fun and it definately works my arms. We also just bought Disney Dance Dance Revolution. Very cute and even though it doesn't really give you much of a workout, it's fun to get you off the couch!

 

[lovealldisney]

Hi Aaron,
Ok I'm ready to re commit to my weight loss!! Put me down for 4lbs please. Though I don't know how well I'll do tonight! We have a baseball game to go to! But I have been looking forward to this for weeks!! GO BREWERS!!! I think we are going to go to one of the spring madness games! They have dollar hotdogs and dollar sodas for those games!! That will be a challenging game!! Because you know how I love those stadium hotdogs!! And for only a dollar?? My kids love it though! We plan this every year.

I will be MIA for a few days. heading down to Iowa to work on the other house. But it will be good to get out and work and exercise. We are tearing off a porch. It looks like it will be nice at the end of the week. I'm hoping to get in some nice long walks! Have a great week everyone!!

Wendy

 

[the Fidge]

Morning Peepers! Aaron please put me in for 5. THanks for your encouraging words too.

Lynda - prayers for you Uncle and family.

Dawn have you healed all up now?

Glad to hear Wendy is ok.

Off to work have a nice day all!

 

[pjlla]

I'm in for the Memorial Day challenge. Put me down for 5 pounds................P

 

[LMO429]

I have been forgetting to write my workouts down here. I worked out everyday last week except Sunday.

Yesterday I did Vol 1 2 and 3 of Jillian 30 Day Shred, I really pushed myself yesterday in order to get rid of the extra calories from Easter eating

I only have 25 days till I go to disney so its crunch time now, no more excuses

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

I've got everybody marked down so far!

I got this new Golds Gym Cardio Workout. It's mostly boxing but they have some other exercise as well. It's very fun and it definately works my arms.

Tell me about this Gold's Gym workout. Is it a DVD workout? I was in Tae Kwon Do for almost two years before life got in the way and I had to drop out. But I loved the workout that I got, and I've actually been looking for a shadow boxing type workout that I can do at home.

You don't have to tell me about the stadium food! It takes all of the willpower that I can muster to walk past the Heavenly Roasted Nuts - the absolute greatest smell in the stadium. And yeah, the dollar hotdogs and soda is such a great deal, that it would be a shame to pass it up.

It sounds like you'll be getting a pretty good workout just from tearing off a porch from a house. I really like those Rocky style workouts. No weights or special equipment, just back breaking everyday work.

Have a great day everybody!
