DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[pixie dust 112]

Ok - he is TOO CUTE!!!!!

Well, Peeps I have good news to report - I passed my internship! So I am officially finished with grad school and once all the paperwork is signed, etc I will be an official speech-language pathologist! Soooo relieved and excited. next up is having some forms signed, getting my state license application in and following up with a potential job offer for the coming school year. I feel like 100 lbs have been lifted off my back now that I am finished. Can I report that as weight lost for the week?

Now I am getting last minute things planned for our cruise (leaving next Sunday) and I also have a mini disney weekend in may to look forward to. Now that I'm finished with school, I really hope to spend more time with the peeps and the boards in general.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Really? That's fantastic!!!!!

The thing is, it's a snowball for me. If I get down and don't post very often, it gets worse and worse. When I read/lurk/post more often, I get much better results!

Plus jaw pain helped this week

SO...please give us a try. Money Back Guaranteed!
If you ever feel ignored or out of the loop- POST MORE!
We're fast moving at times and people fall through the cracks at times.
But it's never intentional.

This has been my problem - Ive been too busy for any 'Me' time, what with work, housework, wedding planning - it got a bit too much so Ive took a step back and prioritised (sp?). I plan to at least lurk once a day and check in with the Peeps as you guys have really helped me get on track!
Wendy - I hope your jaw is feeling better

Congratulations!!! Have a fantastic time on your cruise too!

to everyone who has been ill or has someone ill, to everyone else!

Oh, the pictures of everyones puppies are soooo cute! I dogs!

 

[UtahMama]

Well, I'm way late on weigh in info, but I am down 3.8 lbs! THAT puts me 50.4 total lbs lost! And THAT puts me under 200!!! That's right! I have reached One-derland! I'm just hoping it stays that way. I am SO excited!

Sorry I've been MIA, but we've been building all of the furniture we bought at Ikea last weekend, and it was a LOT! More than we expected to buy. DH didn't know they offered 12 month no interest financing, and we decided that it made sense to buy the other items we were planning to get a little later on. So we have built a bookcase with glass doors (for my Disney collectibles), a bookcase for the "gym", a bed, dresser, 2 storage benches for the end of the bed, 2 nightstands, and 4 outdoor chairs. We still have to build the outdoor table and umbrella, but DH says he'll do that tomorrow. The weather is supposed to improve. It is NASTY today! Once we finish up the last little tweaking of furniture arrangements, I'll take some pictures. We are getting done just in time for my lia sophia party next weekend.

OHHHH! THIS has totally made my day!!!! NO 2's in your number!! I could cry tears of joy! That is so awesome! You're almost there!!!!!


Gads, Jasper was the CUTEST puppy! (great photos by the way!)

Hi all!

I have enjoyed catching up on my PEEP reading today. Cute puppies!

I have not been very "PEEPish" as you might say, the last couple of days. But I just finished making UMs Pumpkin Soup, and I am full for the evening - I hope. I am at about 1450 calories for today, so If I get really desparate I could have some sugar free jello and fat free cool whip later, and still stay at my 1500 cal goal. The 1/2 bottle of wine and grazing I did at my girl's bunko group last night put me way over for yesterday. But, I am back on track, now! Committed for the long haul. (Wish there was a smiley for finger crossing.)

When I made the pumpkin soup, I used a turkey sausage from the meat counter because I couldn't find the light country sausage, and it doesn't have the flavor I think it should have. I am going to have to go to another store to see if I can find the light country sausage, I think it would be much better, but it was still good and filling.

Glad to see all of the good numbers this week for most of you. Hoping for big numbers this week for me. (Again, need the finger crossing smiley.)

My dad is type 1 and has brittle control........ dr speak for no control to speak of....... it's really hard for him. I am so afraid of becoming diabetic which is why I am trying so hard not to be overweight.

Heather~ I'm so soory your life has been so topsy turvy. One thing at a time is hard enough to handle but when it's several at once, you just feel like you can't catch a break. I really hope you can find a way to make DH's business work and he can stay open. I see by your ticker that you're checking in around Memorial Day, we leave the Sat before........

Kat~ It's $60 per person or 2 TS credits if you are getting the DDP. They are supposed to have foods from all the countries so he should be able to find a little somethign to eat. It would be so much fun to have several peeps there at once.

So I've go to go to dinner, we're going to Texas Roadhouse........ It's a cheat day so I'm not counting any calories tonight!

Noni, I talked to Mr Kat and I think he is on board, if there is room. Send me a PM and I will give you all our info!

Lynda, !!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Thanks Wendy! I am starting to have "flashbacks" to what it was like when I was this size last time. I feel like I'm really closing in on my goal - even though it's probably still at least 30 lbs away. I am feeling SO good now! I got some bermuda shorts the other day, and I can't tell you how exciting that was. I haven't looked decent in bermudas since the late 80's/early 90's - the last time they were in style. (I was in jr. high or high school.) Anyway, I'm thrilled! And thanks to EVERYONE for the comments on my entering ONE-derland!

And that cute puppy is sleeping next to me on the couch right now. I just love her!

[AnnNan]

Congrats, Shannon! and you too Lynda! Way to go!

Cute, cute puppy pics!

Almost makes me want a beagle!

We've got some big changes going on at work. Last week for the first time in ages I wanted to take 1/2 a day off and wasn't free to do that - and probably won't be able to for a month or two. Hopefully after that things will be more or less "back to normal".

Hope everybody has an "unMonday" Monday!

All the puppy pics are SO cute! Well, here's my contribution - Jasper!

At 2 months old...

And last March (Sorry, I need to upload more recent pics, which I HAVE taken, but she looks pretty much the same now at 2 yrs old, as she did at 1 yr old)...

Yay for onderland!!! Its such a wonderful feeling to get rid of those 2s. I hope to join you in a few weeks.

Aw Jasper is so cute too. I didn't realize so many Peeps had beagles.

Hope everybody has an "unMonday" Monday!

I totally agreee. And hopefully your work settles down soon,




Yesterday we went out to eat twice. Hot dogs, fries and a milkshake the first time, then veggie soup and salad the second. I figured that would help balance things out. We spent about a half hour a the park, just walking around and letting Stitch run around. He was so worn out that he napped for three hours (and so did DH). It was so cute to see the two of them sleeping on the couch.

 

[Beka]

Seriously, could that BE any cuter?!?

We are back from Memphis.

The girls did well. Our studio took 7 numbers. We brought home 5 first place, 1 second place and 1 third place. One of our numbers got picked for "Judges Choice" meaning the one with that they liked the best and had the most showmanship. And 2 of our numbers missed "Overall High score" by a mere 0.3.

We had a really fun, really busy weekend. I had never been to downtown Memphis. There is really alot to do. There is alot of non-peep food around too so beware. We rode the trolley which was fun for this small town girl. Ate on Beale Street.

I did try and cut portions. Me and my mom shared meals and skipped dessert, so hopefully my numbers will be ok on Friday. Not wanting to move my car for fear of getting lost- again- we just ordered in room service for breakfast- I was able to get fresh fruit and bran muffins.

Exercise.... well, alot of running up and down stairs to get the girls to class on time and we made the mistake of skipping the trolley ride home from Beale street. It didnt seem that far when we were riding but turned into about a 15 block walk. Also after we started walking realized we probably shouldnt have for 2 reasons... first, it was 15 blocks and second, it was 11 pm and we were 2 adults and 2 kids walking alone on the streets of downtown Memphis.... I temporarily forgot where I was.... luckily we were not approached by any of the street persons or that would have been really scary.

I just forget that not everywhere is like home. I still live in a place that you can leave your doors unlocked and until recently when they started clearing the land behind my house and put in a dirt road a person could stand nakie on my back porch and no one but the squirrles and bunnies would see you. Mind you know, I try to be animal ethical and dont stand nakie on my porch, I dont want PETA knocking on my door accusing me of cruelty of animals.

I was going to go to Curves this a.m....but typical monday style..i was too tired to get out of bed in time..so after work will have to do it for me...Today is the first day back on the Weight Watcher Wagon. So far i have had 2 slices of this AWESOME NEW FIBER ONE CINN. RAISIN TOAST..it is fantastic and only 140 cals, 1.5 grams of fat and....8 GRAMS OF FIBER! a little spray butter and there ya go..Yummy 2 pt breakfast. i HIGHLY reccomend!

Have a great day all!

Hi EVERYONE.

I have some new friends to get acquainted with here. Goodie!

My homework took over my life this weekend. I did fairly well though.

DH had only a day and a half with us before his job rudely interrupted our family time and wisked him away from us again. A manager walked out on Thursday in St. Lois.

This is the week the babysitter drains my pockets.

One more month and this semester is over.

Have a great one!

 

[DisneyLaura]

we buried him in my dad's back yard and planted a japanese cherry tree over his grave so the white blooms would remind us of him every spring.

We have are dog Penny buried in the backyard of my mothers and there is a flowering bush over her.

Ok - he is TOO CUTE!!!!!

Well, Peeps I have good news to report - I passed my internship! So I am officially finished with grad school and once all the paperwork is signed, etc I will be an official speech-language pathologist! Soooo relieved and excited. next up is having some forms signed, getting my state license application in and following up with a potential job offer for the coming school year.

Hey PM your email address and I will send you the "quiz" in my book that tells you how many points you need.

Shoot! Sorry for your little gain. It's the Friday curse. You've been losing slow and steady very nicely, so it's totally OK.

I don't know if this has been answered yet but here's what I have.


Daily Points Target:

If you weigh Less than 150 = you get 20 points
150-174 =22 points
175-199 =24 points
200-224 = 26 points
225-249 =28 points
250-274= 30 points


I don't look good in bermudas or tight "pedal pusher" type pants because I'm a pear shape.. Trouser cut shorts, capris, and pants do look ok on me.
