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

Bee and Kat ~ you both rock!

Hey Kat did you love the USA/Canada Hockey game Sunday. I thought that was an amazing game!
 
I loved it but the outcome bummed me out. I was really rooting for Team USA.

I am off to Disney tomorrow! Yay!! :yay:
 
Ok after weeks of hitting a plateau I finally lost!!! :banana: Weigh in at WW last night I am DOWN -2.6!!! Have a great day everyone!! :goodvibes
 

Just dropping in to say hi and WAY TO GO BEE!!!

Oh, and show off my new ticker! :goodvibes
 
Hi Peeps!!! I have missed you all so much! I'm so sorry I've been MIA, but wait until you hear why.

I have not been able to lose any weight lately, and it will be a while before I can. DH and I are expecting baby #1!!!!! :cool1::banana::yay::dance3::cheer2: I am about 2 days shy of 12 weeks along at this point.

So happy for you - best wishes!
 
Hey Peeps!!!

We need to pump some life back into this thread!!!! It's only 11 weeks to the unofficial start of summer (memorial day weekend)

Maybe we can do a different sort of a challenge where the goal each week is to lose between a half pound to up to 2 pounds max per week. (considered the healthy amount of wt to lose per week) between now and the summer

Who is down for something like this?

We could still do the friday weigh in's to post our results. We could take this week to figure out the specifics of the challenge and then starting next week we could have a 10 week to the unofficiall start of summer challenge...thoughts?
 
I am here!! I actually only gained 1.8 lbs after a week in WDW so I consider that a win!

I am totally in for a challenge. I usually weigh in on Mondays, though, since it helps keep me accountable on the weekends. My goal is to get back in the 160s by the end of the summer, but immediate goal is to get to 180 by May 1. That is 15 lbs.


So, back from WDW and the half marathon. It was an absolute BLAST!! I finished in 3:11 and wasn't even wiped out when I was done.

I made the trip with 7 girls from the WISH thread, and we met 2 more new friends along the way. I wouldn't trade last weekend for anything. 6 of us stayed in a combo of the Swalphin and a 2-BR at the BWV for Fri-Sun, and it was amazing.


I posted my race report and some pics in a few threads but I will post again (hope you all don't mind!!). Here is a pic of all of us, with bling, in the MK the day after the race. I am the one in the black shirt without the hat (long dark hair): http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/3DisneyKids/DSC00095-1.jpg

Also, I wrote a race report on the WISH thread that started the whole adventure...

Lynda - Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and your DH! What's your due date? Everywhere I look on these boards, people are getting pregnant! I don't want to speak for anyone else, but another former/current peep who most of us know has announced some news on her trip report. I'm only sharing because I know she doesn't post very often on the peeps thread that much anymore but I know many of you would be happy to share in her good news...

I have news in the non-baby department. I know that I have mentioned previously how I have been unhappy with my job - as in my current school placement, not so much my career choice. So occasionally I look for openings in other school districts I'd be interested in work for. Well, an opening was posted for Celebration School, which is a K-8 school in Celebration! The town disney built! I joked when I was in high school and originally planned on being a teacher that I would love to teach there! Well now a speech pathologist position is available and I submitted my resume. The ESE secretary called me 2 days later and told me they are very interested, to complete the districts online application and someone should be calling me soon. Well I didn't finish and submit the application until Friday afternoon so I'm hoping and praying that they will call me early this week and set up a phone interview. The more I think about it, the more excited I get thinking about it, but at the same time, the more disappointed I start feeling if I don't get it.

If you could, please send me any good thoughts and pixie dust! I really think this could be "my home", the place I will end up living and working, happily, for a long time.

Hi to the rest of the peeps - I sort of took the last week off. Haven't weighed in in the past 2 weeks. I have 3 weeks until my cruise and I'm buckling down to at least get a good chunk of water weight off. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
 
Down 19.2 in a month!

5.2 this week...

On my way...!!



Shannon sending good thought to you!

ps- hi all other peeps

Hi Bee! Great job!! Keep up the good work!! :banana:


Ok so I am a little off track. I weighed in last Wednesday at WW and was up 1.2 :confused: But when I weighed myself at home I had lost??? I won't worry about it. I have noticed a pattern with myself. I will stay the same for a week or two then maybe gain a little then I'll lose :confused: I asked my leader at WW if this is normal and she said yes. Alot of people lose this way. It's like taking one step forward and then two steps back. It fustrates me because I want to see the weight come off everyweek. I do feel like I have lost in inches though but yet not losing weight. Has this happened to anyone?? Is this normal??
So hopefully after next week I'll be more on track here with you guys. My daughter is in swim and next Monday it's done!! I love swim but the meets are sooooooo longggggg......

Have a great day everyone and eat healthy!! :goodvibes
 
Just hopping in for a minute.
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Sneak Preview is on ABC and I'm really loving it.
He's trying to change the way people eat in the unhealthiest city in America.
He's at a school right now and I'm glad he's trying to do something about it, because it reminds me exactly of our school food which I don't eat because of what they serve.

Anything on the job front?

Are you ready for your cruise?

I watched that show as well. I found it very interesting. I have not been in school for quite some time and I do not have children. But it seemed every kid in the school ate in the cafeteria (and that food really did look awful) do kids bring their own lunch to school anymore? :confused3

another good movie to watch is FOOD INC...I for one am lovving shows like this every day more people are standing up and saying how awful our food is.. its starting to show what garbage packaged food is and how horrible the pesticides that our allowed on our fruits and vegetables are..when you think about it its scary what low criteria the govt deems passable on our food. I think people in america are becoming more educated that fast food is just poison and just cuz it says low fat doesnt mean its good for u....slowly but surely my organic section at my local supermarket is becoming bigger and bigger. I hope this trend continues and I have a feeling it will.

I work in an elementary school and many kids buy lunch but I also see many toting their lunchboxes too. I definitely do not work in a "high risk" school, but it seems these days it is really easy to qualify for free and reduced lunch. I know many at my school get that, even if it isn't really a necessity. So its probably just easier to do that than pack a lunch. Which is sad,r eally because our lunch food looks pretty gross, and definitely not healthy. Of course most of the kids that do buy would probably skip the healthy stuff and eat the yummy things anyway. I haven't been in school in over 10 years but I almost always brought my lunch, except for the occasional meal here and there. I always bought on pizza day ;)


Update on my job hunt...quite a few weeks ago I sent a couple resumes out to a few places, just to see. Well yesterday and today, 2 of them called me back and would like to speak with me. Of course, I am really waiting to hear back from Celebration. The woman who I guess would decide to hire me or not, said she will be calling me this week. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm anxious.

I always have brown bagged it..even when I worked on wall street and we were able to order expensive lunches everyday for free

Thanks!! Yeah Shannon, I know who you are speaking of because we've been talking about this stuff for a while now. My due date is 9/12, so her and I are due about a week apart! :)

Oh my! That is exciting! DH and I have friends who live in Celebration. We visited them on our last trip, and it is just so beautiful! Good thoughts headed your way! Keep us posted!
 
Hope everyone is doing well!
Food Revolution is on again tonight.
I just eat a granola bar at school because it's hard to find a refrigerator in classrooms to put our lunch so only about 5% of kids bring their lunch. I eat a bigger breakfast and snack instead.

I haven't done any excercise because I've had a cold the past three days. It's rounding out right now, but I'm still a little sniffly. But my friend and I went on a 3 hour bike ride around town because we felt like it and we hadn't rode bikes in like a year. It was so much fun! People were looking at us, because nobody hardly ride bikes anymore but it wasn't tiring at all, we stopped to get something to drink and at the park for awhile.
