DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[majicintheair]

Hello peeps!
Well, not to good over the weekend...I held off on getting Easter candy until the DAY of Easter, which means I was running around Walmart stressed out after church, trying to pick through the picked over Easter candy. Not fun. Dinner was good though, pot roast and veggies in the crock pot. And I think (hope) that I have got the chocolate cravings out of my system now....(Auntie Flo is visiting, I wish she would just go on a permanent vacation elsewhere! Her and her chocolate cravings! )

Breakfast for today was Progresso low sodium Italian Wedding soup. 180 Calories, yummo!

Today I have a goal of doing the new workout dvd that I got. I have been doing Callenetics mon-fri, the dvd takes me about 50 minutes..at first my muscles were SO SORE! Now I can barely feel it the way I could when I first started, not that it's easy, but the soreness is gone. (400 CRAZY situps, 300 of which have your legs straight up in the air-can you say huff and puff? and grunt and groan, for good measure....) But the new video is Super Callenetics, and run time is 90 minutes, so I'm hoping to start feeling the old muscle burn again. Crazy what we do just to try to look a little better.

Hope everyone is having a good day!
This week will be my first weigh-in in a long time. Hoping to get to some decent #'s!

 

[Pakey]

Morning Peeps. I hope everyone had a great Easter. I'm so thoroughly disgusted with myself and how I've lost total self control ever since those evil Girl Scout cookies have entered my house. On the positive side, I'm almost sick of them because I've had so many.

Today I'm recommitting myself to my program. I've got my Tinkerbell notebook on my desk so I can write down everything that goes into my mouth. I mentally planned last night everything I was going to have today and I'm sticking to it. No snacks FAITH--resist those mint cookies!!!! I am going to lose this weight. I just have to keep telling myself that.

Aaron, whatever dates for the challenge is fine with me. I kind of like Cinco de Mayo because that's a huge celebration here where I live. It'll be 7 lbs now for me.

 

[HockeyKat]

I like Cinco de Mayo. Put me down for 5 lbs. We can have the next one after that be 4th of July, maybe?

I made my Easter challenge goals.

Wonders, .

UM, good luck w/ WW!

Hello again Peeps...and Happy Belated Easter!

As you can see, I have been busy tormenting my children so I was not able to post here I am about 50 pages behind since last I was here....so if somebody can give me the short version of what I have missed I would appreciate it! Happy Birthday to all those I am sure I missed, and and to all who may be in need of them!

I am officially checking back in though. I am about 1/2 a pound from my pre-pregnancy weight and I figure that is as good of a place to start as any. I will do my official re-starting weigh in Friday and then from there on out I will be back to being a 'loser' again. Brandon will be 5 weeks this weds, so I think that is long enough for me wait to start trying to lose. I think the hardest part for me is forgetting I am no longer pregnant and cant just eat whatever I want to! I got so used to eating whatever sounded good, especially towards the end, that it is hard to stop that mindset. I havent decided if I am going to officially rejoin WW or do the calorie thing I was doing before. We'll see.

I did manage to resist buying up the sale easter candy at Walmart this morning, so that was a good step in the right direction I suppose. I saw the peeps sitting there and was reminded of MY peeps here, and WWPD...they certainly would not buy up all the leftover easter candy! So I left empty handed My next stop for the day is Costco so if anyone has any tips on peep friendly Costco finds share them with me!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I know it's late, but I didn't have internet access for a few days. I lost 1 1/2 lbs this week. I did weigh myself on Friday, but with all the Easter junk I ate the last couple of days, I'm sure I already gained it all back.

I'm making my ADRs tomorrow, even though I still haven't decided for sure wether or not I'm going to cancel my trip. I think it is better to be safe then sorry, and since I am going to be trying to get ADRs for places like CRT and Le Cellier, I might as well make them ASAP, and just cancel them if I don't go, like you all suggested.

 

[UtahMama]

Pakey- If you Bite it, you Write it! Way to recommit!

Dance- Your baby is soooo cute! So is your big-girl baby Did you make her green plaid skirt? So cute!
I love the Almonds at Costco. They have light yogurt, string cheese, Progresso and Annie's soups, fruit leather, skinny cows (in bulk!)

DF4E- Ok, better late than never! Our numbers generally stunk this week so you can recommit endless times! Your ADR talk is making me yearn to go back

LMO- are you doing it strictly online or attending meetings? I'm too cheap for either but I have all the tools and support I need right here (plus my slider and books)

HockeyKat- 5 pounds sounds good. I'll do the same. Hopefully!


Majic- You go girl!

 

[LMO429]

utah mama!

So here is a list of missing people needed to post so we can get the tallys up...some of you may have posted on the thread but not p.m'd me so please do so....

I know people were gone for Easter/holidays etc...so I am just asking people to post by Tomm at noon...(Tuesday) If you can't do that...I understand totally...life get's crazy...but we'll post this past week without ya and you can join us next week for the final weigh in...the only exception to that is a few people denoted with an *...those would have a 2nd miss for this past week and as such would need to be dropped for this month challenge.

We had posted earlier that if you miss 2 weeks we would simply remove you from this challenge...not as a punishment but simply because the magnet challenge is a dedicated challenge and was asking for weekly input and support..if this was not the right time for you...no biggie...just start with us when you are ready...we all have been there....I weigh the same as I did when starting my thread 3 months ago so please know it is not a high and mighty finger pointing....

just a way to make it fair for those who spend money on magnets to spend it on those who were committed to this challenge....even if a loss was not posted..it was for connections and communications built....



Okay enough tough love...

So can I not post on the thread anymore? Weight loss is not a priority for me right now (passing grad school is!!! ) but I still like to stay in touch with my peeps when I can....

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Ok, sounds like the consensus is to have our next mini-challenge be set for Cinco de Mayo. So far I've got:

Me - Lose 4.1 lbs to get under 165
HockeyKat - Lose 5 lbs (I promise I won't lose you half way through this time!!!)
Pakey - Lose 7 lbs
UtahMama - Lose 5 lbs

Who else is in?

Have a great night everyone!

Thanks I didnt make her skirt-it was super cheap at Childrens Place and I probably couldnt have sewn it for that price. I need to dust off my sewing machine though- now that I am spending good chunks of time up in the middle of the night I could get alot done. Baby wants to sleep all day and party all night so it has made for some fun times around here.

YAY! My first challenge! Count me in too I want to lose 5 by then. (I would love to lose more but I think I can achieve 5)

Oh honey...noooooooo...

This was a tally of people participating in a weight loss challenge between the Peeps and the Body Boarders (another WISH thread) for the month of March....we were in a challenge for body% weight loss and the losing thread sends the winning thread people that participated magnets from their state....it was just a fun challenge....but some have not been able to stay participtaing right now and thus...just chose to drop out...no hard feelings...no ill will...just not the right time for them right now...)(I can't tell you how many times I have started a challenge and bowed out)

Anyway....I will speak for Utah Mama and say...we want both our threads to be a place for healthier people...not just about weight loss but the whole self...grad school and all!

Gotcha...that is understandable. I'll be sure to let you all know when I'm really ready to lose weight. Which will probably not be until May. Let me give you all a timeline of the next couple months for me. I have this horrible internship to finish up and my last day is April 11. 14 days. But who's counting? Then I am going on a 7 day cruise with my mom to celebrate finishing grad school. (if that you know what doesn't pass me, we're still doing the cruise but I'll be in a much bitter mood). Then I'm thinking of taking a job offer I got from my previous internship supervisor. Which means I would not start until the fall when the school year begins. Maybe some part time stuff in her office, but otherwise I'll be a lady of leisure for a couple months (assuming I actually do graduate). Then I found my annual pass! Which happens to expire on May 18. And I thought...maybe I should take a long weekend and go to disney. By myself! Just to relax, hit a couple rides, soak up the disney-atmosphere, and meet up with a couple friends that live in orlando while getting one more use out of my annual pass. What do you all think?

P.S. My mom is home from work and giving me the silent treatment. Like I already don't feel bad enough for calling in "sick". I swear, the effect she has on me, you'd never know I'm 27 years old.

I'm in for Cinco De Mayo

Put me down for 5. (i'll just stay with the cinco/five theme)

I'm dusting off my WW stuff today also-

Update:

Well, DD1 had her first heartbreak this weekend. It seems that 22yo boyfriend prospect got a phone call telling him to stay away from her- (not me- I promise) She said the caller threatened to report him if he didnt leave her alone. He told her he didnt want to even talk to her because he was afraid of going to jail.

It was hard to love her through her first heartache/breakup- (she has had 2 other boyfriends but both times she was the dumper and not the dump-ee)
It was especially hard since secretly inside I am happy. Is that mean?

Yah, what she said!

You still need to socialize with us ok? We'd miss you too much.

My mom tends to make me feel like I'm a kid too.

First of all, you totally should go for a weekend trip! It would do great things for your spirit! And to you about everything else! You have so much going on. For what it's worth...my mom can still make me feel that way and I am 34

I am assuming she is younger than him if jail has been threatened...how old???
My DD is dating a boy that is older.....she is 14 1/2 he is 17 but only 2 years apart in school...she is the youngest of her grade...he is cheap and broke so they are here or at his house watching movies and hanging out mostly!! (yeah)
...he is also a friend of my DS and in he same grade so I have that comfort in knowing my son would injure him if he ever treated her dissrespectfully...

he is a pretty good kid and I have never seen him treat her badly...but it does worry me in the future if they continue that with the way the laws are now...he could be in serious danger because of someone elses threats once he turns 18...

If you do not like him for valid reasons than that is not mean at all...you just got out of being the bad guy and had the opportunity to bond with your daughter over heartache and help her learn how to move on.

How does your daughter feel right now?? How old is she???

I'm mean too then for being thankful for that phone call. The thought of a 22 yr. old MAN pawing my teen daughter (when the time comes) makes my teeth itch. It'll be over as soon as she meets a boy her age. Poor little lamb.
