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

[WI_DisneyFan]

Hi forgot to post weight loss from WW last night. Down .5! I thought for sure it was more. Oh well new week beginning I shall strive to do better.

Great job! To paraphrase Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who -- a loss is a loss, no matter how small.

Today would have been my mother's birthday. Mom passed away just before Mother's Day last May so I think I'll celebrate with an Angel Food cake tonight with some berries and whipped cream like-she-liked. How sweet of her to have her favorite cake be the "lightest".

Just keeping that on the surface because I suspect I'll be craving the yummy comfort foods she used to make. These are the times I just need a little hug, even if it's a figurative/imaginary one.

I just input all my food today on WW points tracker since I never know if I'll get slammed at work. It's nice because I brought all my food in a little cooler and know that if I get hungry, the cafeteria has a decent salad bar and lots of fruit choices. I LOVE that fruit are "free" because I haaaaaate being hungry while dieting. Knowing I can have a piece of fruit any time I want, keeps me sane.

Hey there, just wanted to give you a little extra support and hug today. I know there will be some tough times, but hang in there. And think of how proud she is if you have a "lighter" cake in her memory versus some bad choices.

Thinking of you today!!!

I am so sorry Laura! It's hard loosing a parent mine are both gone, a long time now but I still cry, I miss them so much. I think its because I lost them when I was so young there is so much I would have loved to learn from them but being as young as I was I was more into what I wanted to do at the time and not take time for them. I regret that.

For those that still have a parent take the TIME to be with them and learn! You never know when it will be there time, heck we don't even know when it will be our time.

Both me and by hubby's parents are gone (all early in their years). My mother was the last one to go and it kills me. It's only been a year so I know it's still "fresh"

We should compare notes about are sons! Kids with autism are all so different and each one is affected differently. My son has a hard time with reading and comprehension, and orginization to, where as he is a wiz at math and science. I swear he has a calculator in his brain. And he loves his car and is putzing with it all the time!

He LOVES music his Ipod is his favorite thing, what is nice with the high school he attends they allow the kids to have MP3 players. He uses his everday it blocks out all the other noise around him. For some reason it helps him consentrate better?? Thats funny you should mention that your son loved commercials at that age mine love music! Especially music from Barney! We sang those songs all the time, and songs from the Lion King!

MY nephew is 10 and he loved Barney too, he's autistic too. He's very good at math as well. His favorite show is Deal or No Deal!

Hi everyone!!!

It's really great to "see" alot of the peeps again. I'm sooo excited for all that have lost weight. I'm joining once again and would love to lose 25 lbs. However, I can't walk or exercise until my knee is better. I have a bacterial infection in my left knee and it's really swollen and tender but the antibiotics should clear it up soon.

Everyone have a great and healthy day.

Hi there - welcome back

Oh dear. The magical fiber muffins I ate SIX of yesterday backfired (LOL, perfect pun!) and I ended up only losing .2 (point 2) lbs when I had been down 2 lbs pre-muffins.

Weigh yourself at home tomorrow and I bet the number will be better

Good Morning Peeps!

I'm home today - no work for me. But not for fun reasons. Winston hurt his foot/leg, not sure, but he is limping around a lot. I saw a small red scrape on his pad (the foot he seems to be favoring) so I am hoping its just a scrape that hurts a little to walk on, especially since I touched it with my finger and he did nothing. But to be honest, I need a mental health day and nothing sounds better than snuggling with a gimpy puppy. Plus if it does actually get worse, I can take him to the Vet without having to wait a couple days because I am swamped tomorrow and Friday.

Confession Time - I ate Wendy's last night. And didn't count the points. It wasn't even satisfying and to be honest, Wendy's is not my first choice of fast food. But I had a little slip up and I am chugging the water today. I'm pretty confident I have used up all my extra points for the week so I have 2 full days to hopefully drop a lb or so before weigh day on Friday.

Sorry about Winston, hope he starts to feel better.

Everyone has slip ups - everyone! No worries - today is a new day

Woke up to a lot of snow, so I went out and shoveled the drive and the walks all by myself. AHEM!

We got 15 inches here from last night

Hey something is better than nothing

Happy Birthday to your mom The first year is the worst! ENjoy your cake

Ok peeps! Good afternoon. No school today we got 15 inches of snow here (I'm in CT). I did not eat breakfast yet and it's 1:20 pm. I'm going to make omelets for everyone and I'm going to just have egg whites with onion, tomato and a little cheese. Dinner is chicken but I don't know what to do with it. I wish it were summer because then we could grill - I can't even get to my grill!

I really wanna do some sort of exercise DVD or something today as I have not walked because of the snow and ice on our streets.

Talk to everyone later gotta go eat something

It's tough but hang in there. My mom died on Jan. 2nd 2000, 9 months before my wedding I was 22. I'm grateful she was able to see me in my wedding gown.

It's funny my DD is soooo much like her! Is left handed like her, loves all of her favorite foods, loves to draw and is so creative! Kinda eerie.... I tell my DD she must have spent alot of time with her grandma in heaven before she was concieved!

Wendy be soooo thankful you had your mom here for so long.

, Wendy!

Winston is still being gimpy But, he's putting all his weight on it and it doesn't seem to stop him from jumping on and off couches and beds or running around the apartment with a flip flop . I think I will really worry if he stops putting weight on it or flinches if I touch it. He was at daycare the past 2 days where he plays hardcore and he got groomed Monday so maybe they nicked him accidentally and its just starting to hurt or he played too rough. Who knows, I'm just going to keep an eye on it.

Can anyone recommend a good 0-pt (or 1-pt) coffee creamer? I'm going to start having iced coffee in the morning instead of my diet coke but I don't want to add any points and I really need some kind of milky product that will add some sweetness and flavor.

I'm doing really well staying on points despite my slip up yesterday. And the fact that I have been home all day which is dangerous for me. I have about 6 pts left and I am stuffed from dinner so I think I am in good shape

 

[monymony3471]

I maxed out my daily points with protein today. I was in the mood to eat, so I did accordingly.



Ready for this week to be over!

Wendy: thinking of you and your yummy cake!

 

[dwheatl]

Wendy, sending you a hug. My dad died 8 years ago this month, and I still miss him terribly. My sister sent me a Santa Cruz calendar for Christmas, and I cried when I went to hang it up yesterday. The first picture is of the lighthouse point where we sailed out to sprinkle Dad's ashes.
Hope your cake was yummy and full of happy memories.

I use a half cup of light vanilla soy milk in my 2-3 cups of decaf in the morning. If you heat the soy milk, it's like a vanilla latte.

My good friend who comes over to watch mysteries with me joined WW tonight. that will make mystery night more diet friendly.

I think I am falling victim to the second week slump I did a pre weigh in and im only down .3 pounds and I have been exercising more this week so go figure. I'm hoping its muscle I feel super sore.

 

[Wonders10]

Hi Peeps!

Do any of you have a reward system set up for when you hit certain milestones? I really like having something to look forward to so I thought it might be motivating.

For example, I am going to treat myself with something (not food) for every 10% I lose. And I will have to do that 4 times to hit my goal weight. I'm stilll working out the logistics of what I will actually reward myself with but I know the first 10% will be a new Vera Bradley bag for spring since I love the new colors. A lilly pulitzer dress is on there somewhere I think too, but not til closer to the end so it fits. And I want a trip to disney in there somewhere as well, to stay at a resort we have never stayed at, like the GF. Or return to another deluxe that I love like the BC or Poly since our trips are done on the cheap these days.

I am thinking of buying something from Victoria Secret..... That is for when I reach my goal weight.

I'm thinking something Disney-related since I'm STARVED for ANYthing Disney. I'll keep thinking about this. I do love charm bracelets...Hmmm

Yayyyy! THIS is good...when I feel all cute UNDER my clothes, my good attitude carries over in all the little things I do. Knowing I've got adorable and sexy under-things when I'm at the carwash,Walmart, or wherever, though I might be in shleppy scrubs,,,makes it like a funny secret to me. I know Im a weirdo.

Help I'm in a funk and I cant get out of it!

What happened?! Why are you in a funk?!

 

[LMO429]

When is your next trip to WDW? Mine will be this upcoming October 2011..I will be there from the 17th - 26.

I usually go to wdw every 6 months but I have to say even though I had such an amazing time on my last trip. I feel like there is not enough new things going on for me to go every 6 months like I use to. I do miss it but I can't justify the money for two trips in one year anymore.

I live just 2 hours away so its not quite as difficult for me to find the time to go, but the money is the kicker for me. But even though I am starting to get bit by the disney bug, I feel like it doesn't bite me quite as often anymore and I don't get quite as excited about going as I used to. My signature says I have a trip planned for this summer but I actually cancelled the hotel a couple days ago. My mom, cousin and I are probably going to do something a little less expensive and go to St. Augustine, FL - we've never been and have always wanted to go. A few days there to shop, sight see and hit the beaches. I almost was going to plan a trip for President's Day weekend, but decided against it, then for my spring break, then decided against it. So that is why I think I am going to make a disney weekend (at a deluxe resort) one of my rewards for losing weight. Although who knows how long it will take me to get to that weight!
