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

[mousehouselover]

I didn't weigh in this week; too much stress and a full schedule. We went to my DSis's for her neighborhood yard sale today. We've sold misc stuff and out grown clothes in the past but it was slim pickin's this year. We decided to sell refreshments instead. We ran out of everything but the popscicles by noon! I had to go buy more water, ice cream and frappucinos. We bought dry ice to keep the frozen stuff cold in the coolers and it worked like a charm. The forcast for tomorrow calls for rain in the morning so I don't know if we'll go out or not but if we don't we made money today and that was the point. If we do go back we'll sell out then come home.

Hi everyone! I have been missing from the Dis...but I am trying to keep up with this thread. I am down 4.6 pounds this week!


Enjoy your day everyone!!

Daisy - Welcome! Glad to have you here...

I forgot to weigh in on Friday, but if I remember I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and post that instead. Frankly, I'm not too sure it will be a loss, but...there's only one way to know if I'm going in the right direction.

I have SO MANY things I could do right now...clean the house, fold some laundry, post on my blog, watch a movie, exercise...which wins?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Peeps!

For the third day in a row, I worked out. I feel very good about keeping up with it so far. I worked out for an hour, doing cardio for 35 min and strength training for 25. Whoo hoo!

Hi all

I found this thread via the DL boards - our family of 4 got back from our trip to DLR in April - the first trip in 10 years for DH and I, altho we would call ourselves big Disneyland fans - we have been about 10 times over the years but we live in New Zealand, so its a major long-haul flight and costs $$$!
It was the first Dis trip EVER for DS's 9 and 6. Thanks to disboards we had the best time, got loads of great tips, and did a ton of rides despite it being mid-Spring break and busy.

Anyhoo..., I am a WAHM/SAHM and the weight has been creeping on ever since DS6 was born. I try and walk our dog for 30mins every day, but it's not enough, obviously!

I love to cook and bake and that's my downfall - make yummy things then eat them!

We are metric here in NZ so am getting my head around pounds/ounces again but I weigh 190 and want to get down to 150
My plan is to eat smaller portions, exercise more/harder and try not to bake so much - the kids and DH will have to make do with store bought cookies for a while!

Welcome to the thread. I'm another DL lover, but live less than 400 miles from there. Someone was just asking me where all the Disney parks are, and as I went through them, I said I think it's time to put one in Australia (I have some family there). Now that I've seen your post, NZ would work too. From what I've seen in TV and movies, NZ is a beautiful country.

My weekend of yard saling, Ren Faire rehersal and general lack of rest got the better of me. I'm pooped. We did ok for our second day, it was cooler and there were fewer people. In all it was a good venture though.

I finally got on the scale and got an idea of how bad last week was. It could've been worse but what I saw was bad enough. It doesn't help that I ate out twice a day Fri, Sat and Sun. On Sun, I ordered salads but shared fries and other stuff with DH and the kids.

Our househunting saga continues. Our realtor called on Sat about another property that might work for us. We are still debating it. I am not very happy with the bank approved sale process.

Saskiwi~ Welcome to our group! We're a great bunch of supportive and generally funny gals (and our thread hunk: Aaron.) We follow our own plans and share our ups, downs; what works and things that don't; and celebrate each success. We weigh on Fridays and report the amount gained or lost. We all posed in bikinis and posted our before pictures. The pix are back in the first volume of this thread if you want to see them.

Stacey~ AKV is on our list of places to stay in the future. Our friends stayed there last year, we went to have dinner at Boma and got to see the pool area and the savannah. It looks like a cool place to stay.

Where is everyone else? We miss you!

Hi All!
I'm still here. Mostly lurking and reading! I have been soooo... busy with work it's crazy. Our fiscal year end is July 1st and they have us working like busy little bee's.
I have started anew with my diet as of June 1st. So far with good results. Now I am looking into joining a gym. With where I work they offer discounts to two in my area. So I plan on checking them out soon. Once school is out!

A warm to all the newbies! You will love it here. Great group of people!

Aaron are we having any sort of challenge for the summer?


Oh and remember when I told you all about the Noah's Ark field trip and my daughter with that tidy whities incident at school? Well she goes on this trip tomorrow! and guess what its only going to be like 65 tomorrow and rain!!! But there still going I guess! I'm sure she still have a good time.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi everybody!

Just wanted to jump in for a minute to report that I DID weigh myself (although late) and I'm a samer.

I think my biggest exercise problem is that my walks aren't intense enough. Lately I've used that time to return phone calls (via cell phone), and it's hard to really push yourself while huffing and puffing in someone's ear! So no more phone while walking for me.

Best wishes to everyone this week!

Hey peeps! Hope all is well!

 

[mousehouselover]

So far this week things are good. Some stress at work but things at home are good. Eating is ok, had a really poor dinner last night (kettle corn popcorn) I didn't feel like going through the hasle of cooking anything. Tonight it was pizza hut pizza. I've off set it with eating lightly during the day, lost of fruits and some veg, sandwiches to round out the meal. I haven't been very hungry so I'm not having the couple of snacks I plan into my day.

WOW! 4 months it will be here before you know it! They you will be in Hawaii on your honeymoon.

You should think about doing one of those 90 days programs at the 3 month mark (power 90x or chalean extreme) You have the ultimate motivation (wedding/honeymoon) to complete it.

I am going to do the 60 day insanity program once it is released

4 mos!!! You'll be so wrapped up in details, it'll fly by!! Remember, stress is not your friend so take time every day to relax and pamper yourself a bit.

I've had a pretty good day. Very little stress, got a few things accomplished. Found out there may be a way for me to stay with my current company when we move. Got dinner almost free..... not a bad day at all.

4 months - so close! I'm sure you are getting excited and will definitely have the motivation to look your best. I did until about the week before...my bachelorette party did me in with unhealthy eating and drinking

I remember that you're going on a pretty awesome honeymoon... will you be doing a trip report? Pleeeeease?

 

[mousehouselover]

It's almost 9am (EST) and I'm the firdt to weigh in......

The scale read + 1 lb from my post WDW weigh in. I'm at the same place I was a month ago so I'll take it! I need to make some improvements so I don't continue to gain.

We're having our monthly staff pitch in today. The theme this month is light and healthy. I'm taking my fat free 10 cal per tablespoon spinach dip and the snickers salad. I know snickers aren't 'healthy' but when you get a small piece of it mixed in with apples it's not nearly as bad as eating the whole bar.

What's everyone up to? Just work and family of something more exciting?

 

[LittleBoPeep]

I've been super busy with work, and I have not been very peepish with my eating! But somehow I managed to weigh in this morning at -1. The kiddos are out of school now, so I'm running around more now, maybe that has more to do with it.

I'm working all weekend on a rugby tournament, and the rest of the fam is camping in the mountains. I tend to eat better when I'm not eating with the rest of them, so I'm hoping to get a good start on next week's number and make up for my un-peepishness from this last week!

MApigletfan... those four months are going to fly by! Just like everyone said, make sure you take time out for you and relax. Enjoy this time!

Welcome Saskiwi!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
