DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[aldisneygrl]

Thank you.

Question. What date do I use as my starting number and then how often do I check in?

You can either weigh yourself today, or wait until Friday, that's weigh in day. If you weigh today, just report how much you lose in bold like this -2 on Friday! That way UtahthreadmamaWendy can see it and record it in her trusty spreadsheet.

If you wait until Friday, just weigh yourself Friday, and then report next Friday what your loss was.

Please post often so we can get to know you better. This is a great supportive group, and we look forward to joining you on your journey, as well as having you along for ours.

Thank you.

Question. What date do I use as my starting number and then how often do I check in?

We weigh in on Fridays and post our results in big bold colorful letters so UM and WI can keep track of totals and challenges.

Good luck to you.

As for how often you check in, well, that's up to you. Some of us need to check in more ofter than others. What ever you feel comfortable doing.



I just want this weekend to be over. I got it in my head it was my weekend to splurge. Sabotage is my middle name!

I'm ready to get back on the tread mill. I'm not coughing that much anymore.

But, I have a sinus thingy going on. Burning going up through my nose, into my sinuses and my tooth is bothering me. Never ending sickies over here.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Monica - you might have a sinus infection if your teeth are hurting. Keep an eye on it. Sending you some healing . Take it easy. Don't try to do too much or you'll have a relapse.

 

[Sandy321]

Monica what Allie said - take it easy - and its hard to get out of the food is a reward, food is a comfort, food is my friend mode - but remember, starting over is good too, recognizing and moving forward, dont beat yourself up - drink plenty of WATER - flush out some of those calories... and get healthy!!

Allie sorry to hear your dd is under the weather!! and your ds is out in the weather!! (sorry, I'm too silly I guess!! Didnt get enough sleep)

Its raining here too I'm just wandering around, clicking thru the boring tv - and surfing the net, walking around, etc etc...

Hey at least you could count your "wandering around" as exercise minutes. (being silly here too)

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I have to go to work soon. Sunday nights are usually pretty slow, though yesterday we were dead all night, until about 11:00, and then for some reason we became busy, which was tons of fun with only one cashier, but hopefully that won't happen again tonight.

I had fish and leeks for dinner tonight, not very healthy though. The leeks was the "creamy leek fondue" recipe from Flying Fish, and tasted almost as good as the actual restaurant dish. Instead of the potato-wrapped red snapper they serve it with, I had a beer-battered frozen fish filet. The leeks were great, the fish was kind of freezer burned.

I am almost a month away from being able to make ADRs. I added up the value of all the meals I'm planning on ordering, (I had too much free time this afternoon,) and it looks like I'll be getting over $1,000 of food if I stick with the ADRs I'm planning, which include my favorites, new restaurants I want to try, and some restaurants I don't really hear about at all, but want to see if they're any good. I'll also be eating at all the signature restaurants.

It looks like I'll be having twenty-seven TS meals over thirteen days, which is a lot of food, but I don't think I'll gain that much weight, (I'm probably jinxing myself now,) since I'll be walking so much. I'll be eating at twenty-five different restaurants, ten of which I've never been to before.

If I'm like this now, think of how compulsive I'll be once the park hours are released, LOL. I just hope that the hours aren't too bad against what I have planned at the moment. I think I'll be okay though.

Right now I'm planning on three days at Magic Kingdom, two days at Animal Kingdom, a day and a half at MGM, three and a half days at Epcot, and a "rest" day at Downtown Disney. Those days do not include my arrival and departure days, which I'm going to make ADRs for, but will not be able to go to the parks on, since I only am going to have a ten-day pass. I also won't be going to the parks on the day I go to Downtown Disney, since I have eleven full days. I'm also going to go to MNSSHP one night, who knows when that's going to be though.

I hope you don't mind all of my random trip planning on this thread, since I'll probably also post my intinerary for opinions once the park hours are released, if that's okay.

: Dawn, you are an amazing person!! Thanks for being such a strong support here!! (just wanted you to know!!)

When I clicked on User CP and didn't see you guys I started to panic. Then I clicked on a link to see all of Wendy's posts to find the thread and it said I could not access it! Then I really panicked, like "Oh no, I have been gone too long and the kicked me off and moved and made up a secret code that I did not know!!!" It was awful! But I finally found you guys. I tried to read through and figure out what happened. I guess it was not just temporary. So all of our history is gone.

I only have a couple of more months of school and then maybe I can be a regular peep again. I really miss you guys!

 

[Sandy321]

Welcome Back Stacy! (I know sometimes the threads I subscribe to disappear, weird!)

Glad you found your way over---did not get your pm until this morning.

We took Joshua's pacifier away on Thurs. night and lets just say it has been wonderful. He had been waking a couple of times each night and couldn't find it he would come a knock on our door. Between him and Rebekah I was getting very little if no sleep. Since Thurs. he has slept ALL NIGHT!!!! He still asks for it some, but gets over it quick. It was harder on me than him.

That's usually the case. We waited with Mal longer than I did with the boys and I was thinking I'd never get her to kick the habit. She did. The JOYS of parenting.

I was up, not because of my kids, but because I just could not fall asleep. I think I finally did at 4am. WTH???

I think it was the garbage I ate (I made chocolate chip cookies for "my kids" and then we ate McDonalds for dinner). Just rotting in my stomach. I didn't have to throw up, I just felt yucky. I wish I would have. So even this morning I feel yucky.

So, lesson learned: Once you eate healthy, don't poison yourself with the bad stuff, it bites you in the end.

GOOD MORNING!

Happy Presidents' Day today! Is school out everywhere? It is here. Like we need another day of kids cooped up in the house after 2 snow days last week. COME ON, SPRING!

LMO...The Self challenge looks interesting! (why are all those girls so skinny?) ps....every time I see your username it makes me think of the lmao smiley

Dawn....Your brother looks I would NOT want to run into him at the haunted house! Sounds like tips are good at Longhorn with the exception of the occasional redneck. One of my favorite server memories is the guy who order a bottle of red wine and then said....Honey could you brang me some ice? This wine is hot! (Their service was good but the tip was not. Big surprise.)

Laura....Here's a link to more than you ever wanted to know about flaxseed.

EVERYBODY.....The link I pointed Laura to is a web site called World's Healthiest Foods and it has great info and recipes for healthy eating. The long and short of this whole (maintaining a healthy weight) thing for me is not that I am dieting. I'm not getting any younger and I have to thin of this as a FOREVER way of eating. So try to find some low calorie healthy foods you like and incorporate into your new way of eating. (not a diet!!!)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

That is funny you think of the lmao smiley when you see my user name. My fiance calls me LMO my real name is Lauren. When we first met we went on a date to the beach. I had on a bikini, hat, sunglasses and platform wedge sandals on and I was tripping all over the place. My fiance..then boyfriend turned around at me and said "You aint no J-LO!!! you are more like ELMO!!!!" Then it kinda of stuck, even when he writes my name in a card he write LMO..its cute!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

i get to plan my september trip in 2 weeks when they release park hours!!!

I love this story. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

NOOOO! I was totally kidding! put me down for 4. That way I'll only curse myself to gain 7.

I'd have to get my jaws surgically closed ~OR~ give up a limb and/or major organ(s)....and shave my head.

I was totally kidding, too! I know you are afraid of jinxing yourself, so I just put you on there as a joke. Seriously, if you would rather be left off that is cool with me. Just say the word.

I was just curious how many weeks was the V-Day Challenge?

7 weeks, compared to the 5 weeks we have for Easter.

I'll try to post the Easter challenge sometime today. I'll be back later to give a very brief recap of The Lion King musical that we saw on Saturday. Later.

that is soooo true!!! i still remember how terrible i felt after i had mc-diet no no's a few weeks ago. not to say i am a "perfect eater" but i have learned that full meal of grease does not make a happy tummy. i remember being 19 and eating taco bell at 11 at night and not only being about 120 lbs but never getting sick from it...ahh..the good ole days! lol

yay..looking forward to the recap!

I can't wait to hear about the lion king musical. I really want to see a disney musical. I'm just waiting for one to come to my area.
