In Search of my Body...Not The One I Ate.. #4 "Inspiring Others... 1 Tiara at a Time"

[adsrtw]

Good Morning! The kids are very excited that they get to DO SOMETHING today. Basketball and tumbling haven't been cancelled!

I brought Single White Vampire home from work today to read again this weekend. My Ex is still without power, so the kids will be home. Poor babies, I gotta find something for them to do. Might see if I have some extra money for a movie (I have the budget tight, so we can have alot of freedom at WDW).

I fell off the bandwagon yesterday. We had a Super Bowl party at work and had pizza and wings (ok, ok and cake ~ sampled 2 kinds). I'm paying for it today with a headache.

How is everybody? I lost alot of my multi-quotes last night ~ not ignoring will catch up this weekend!

#1 Name/Family Sunny. DH Thomas, DD23 Jen, DS18 Drew

#2 What you are the Most Proud of for the Year 2008 in terms of weight loss/excersize/healthy choices Making the decision to start WW, didn't actually start until 1/8/09

#3 What your goals are for 2009 in terms of healthy living. Attend WW meetings, get Jen to go with me. Live a more healthy lifestyle to be a better role model for Jen. She had type 2 diabetes and doesn't take the best care of herself.

#4 What is needed from us to help you achieve those goals. Someone to get ideas and support from. Accountability! Ideas and motivation.

#5 A famous person you would love to have the body of...because each of us has a different body style and the realities that go along with it... I'm terrible with famous peoples names. so no one comes to mind. Will have to think about that....

#6 A good food choice that you turn to to help ward off the munchie...Water

#7 Why are you here/joining us...what do you hope to gain...or what have you gained....(not weight if that's the case! ) I need help. I started WW with a friend from work and did great the first week. Then on our first weigh in was cancelled due to weather, so I din't track the 2nd week, my frined stopped going due to family medical problems, so I just didn't go. I am going to go back this Thursday and Jen is going with me. But I need back up. I need someone to talk to with something goes wrong.

I actually re joined Disboards last January just to join this group. Promptly got sick and stopped the diet I was on and never posted again.

I started lurking in November and am blown away by love and support. I have already learned alot! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Put those Crowns in your signatures, babes, you have certainly earned them! Going back to check now in case I missed anyone. Gotta get everyone their bling!

Ummm...I'll try. Amish girl may need help though

I brought Single White Vampire home from work today


ok. That just sounded like some dating ad. "SWF seeks SWV to bring home from work"

I fell off the bandwagon yesterday. We had a Super Bowl party at work and had pizza and wings (ok, ok and cake ~ sampled 2 kinds). I'm paying for it today with a headache.

A food hangover (bet Erika doesn't get those either ) Your body isn't used to that kind of food! Hope your head feels better soon.



Had an awesome workout today - Paula, I'm thinking of you gettin' your whoopin' from Jesse this morning.

Dawn - how's that puppy doin'?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Hi Sunny!

 

[SunnyB1066]

Hi!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Well, I had a good talk with DH last night about MIL.

However, this will not make me make unhealthy choices. I am going to own my weight-loss and exercise and not use MIL as an excuse.

You MIL - whew, what a pill! I'm glad your husband heard her directly and you are taking the high road! Speaks volumns. And well, you talking to her about the wedding, is totally normal. Most moms who have kiddos getting married want to talk your ears off about plans. She was just being fecicious.

Snack-A-Jacks are described on the bag as 'Caramel flavoured crispy rice and corn snacks'
They are round and kind of flat and bumpy - a bit like squished popcorn but bigger! They do other flavours like salt and vinegar, sweet chilli, cheese, chocolate! For me they work out at 2 WW points and it satisfies the sweet craving around mid-morning!

Sounds like rice cakes.

Sunny! Welcome. Is that your real name? (I hope so, I'd love to know someone named Sunny.) I can't believe you've waited so long to join. And you've been lurking since November. I still, can't imagine people lurking. I think it's just us! Well you already know about us. And Liz is the WW queen so she will be much help. Welcome.

Here is my OFFICIAL CONGRATULATIONS to all you LOSERS! Challenge Winners! Take the bull by the horns Rock Stars! Your efforts are to be commended.

(Liz - isn't it ironic that you and I would want the tiara more than anyone and we blew it off. February here I come.)

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Ummm...I'll try. Amish girl may need help though [/B][/COLOR]

Speaking of, how do "YOU" get the music from your computer to the little magic box?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

(Liz - isn't it ironic that you and I would want the tiara more than anyone and we blew it off. February here I come.)

It is SOOOO good to have you back, Lyz

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Speaking of, how do "YOU" get the music from your computer to the little magic box?

I use Rhapsody. So easy, even *I* can do it!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I use Rhapsody. So easy, even *I* can do it!

Wow. That IS easy. There needs to be a national ease level set. An ad campaign. "So Easy - Nancy the Goat Farmer Can Do It"

Thanks, but I must admit, I still am way behind the 8 ball regarding my corporate taxes and will disappear soon. I'm just going to have to Power DIS like last night to stay caught up.

EriKa - my february goals are to live day by day and lose 5lbs. (Gotta get rid of my exercise requirements - it makes me avoid it - then I panic, get bummed out and stop trying. I don't like being bossed around.)

 

[goofyfan-12]

Paula - I have to tell you, the changes you've made are so very tangible. It's really inspiring.

Lyz - thanks for the kind words... I am smiling in my heart right now...
Glad to have you back here...

No, don't think that ~ not pushing something at all. My girls at work have said it for a while (I guess I talk about him at work). I'm smooth like silk right now. I'm happy with what I have ~ a great friend who bails me out in the automotive area and talks with me no matter what. It anything else happens, then I will continue to go with the flow. If it helps, I get giddy everytime I see a text from him (that's happened for quite a while).

Oh I have so been where you are now (for like the past ten years with my friend Tom). Of course for something to actually happing, one of you needs to take a step forward. Of course, I have been scared to death of doing that (like for the past ten years). Good luck... Sending pixie dust your way that something happens...

WAKEY WAKEY RISE AND SHINE!

I have read back..I promise!

So far so good today:

Breakfast - 2 slices of wholemeal toast with WW Jam
Snack - Caramel Snack-a-Jacks

Water: 2 glasses so far (its 10.30am)

Well, I had a good talk with DH last night about MIL. Instigated by him, not me. I had asked MIL what colour the bridesmaid dresses were for the Cyprus wedding (because I didn't want to clash, or look like I was trying to wear the same colour if you kwim) and she told me. Very polite conversation, we talked about other things too. End of it I thought. But DH heard her saying to SIL-to-be thats the last thing she would tell me about the wedding as 'I don't need to know the details, we are guests and nothing more'.
I don't know where this has come from. So, Im very sad today - more for DH than myself. But he heard it with his own ears so its not 'tittle-tattling' from me.
However, this will not make me make unhealthy choices. I am going to own my weight-loss and exercise and not use MIL as an excuse.

Thanks for listening. Or if you skipped over it thanks anyway!

Steph - Sorry Zac is sick

Everyone

Have a great day all

Kelly - so sorry about the MIL... She just doesn't get it, but it sounds like your hubby is starting to.

Sunny - welcome!!!! Glad you stopped lurking and jumped into the pool. We are here for you sistah'...

I am off to work out. Catch you all on the flip side...

 

[SunnyB1066]

Sunny! Welcome. Is that your real name? (I hope so, I'd love to know someone named Sunny.) I can't believe you've waited so long to join. And you've been lurking since November. I still, can't imagine people lurking. I think it's just us! Well you already know about us. And Liz is the WW queen so she will be much help. Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome! Sorry, my real name is Sonya. My grandfather started calling me Sunny, said I had a sunny disposition, before I can remember. I went by Sonya with casual friend and Sunny with close friends and family until we moved to NW Arkansas about 12 years ago. We didn't know anyone here so whenever we met someone, Thomas introduced me as Sunny. So almost no one calls me Sonya anymore. Just one of DS Drew's freinds and I think he just wants to be different.

 

[3DisneyKids]

I KNOW! I love, love, love it when Lyz is posting as much as I am!

Hoo boy...ok, who wants to take Nancy by the hand and tell her how to put her crown in her signature? If no one beats me to it, I will give you the step-by-steps in a bit. No time to type it all out now, sorry!

SUNNY! Wow! Welcome, weclome! Love when we get new people! OMG, we will TOTALLY have your back. Yes, come here, post, ask your questions. And where are you located? I love that your daughter is part of your motivation! (Mine is too, though not for weight reasons...just general health issues, and she tiny, age 6.) And STEPH can totally support you with the whole diabetes thing. Both of her boys are living with it.

I am like Lyz...I am always shocked to find out that we have lurkers! I always feel like it is just us in our own little world here!

So here is a shout out....


LURKERS!!! Come out and play!

See? Sunny just did and did we bite her? Not even a little bit!

Sunny--we are starting a new challenge tomorrow, so please feel free to set some goals and participate with us. Everyone has their own goals. Some are focused on pounds, others on exercise, others on things like tracking or eliminating soda. Those of us who have been at this for a while may set multiple goals, but please, feel free to choose something that is realistic FOR YOU. Maybe just going to WW each week and tracking. Take some time to think about it and let me know. I am the self-appointed Challenge Tzar.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I am like Lyz...I am always shocked to find out that we have lurkers! I always feel like it is just us in our own little world here!

Right! I even believe the moderators ignore us. Hmmm, Moderato. Is there a moderator in the hizzle?

I am the self-appointed Challenge Tzar.

I've got a couple other names for her, but, well I just summoned a moderator so I'll keep it DIS approved. (Is calling for a moderator like wispering something scary in a mirror - what is that movie? "Candy Corn, Candy Corn, Corn" - I'm not a scary movie person, it's something to do with Candy. I think.)

Sunny - shhhh, I can't hear you. La La La La. Your given name is Sunny. Word.

 

[SunnyB1066]

Nope. I've not been bitten at all. But don't we have a lot of Twilght fans?

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes. Don't know I why I've waited for so long.

I think my goals need to be simple. Just WW meetings, tracking and water.

Twilight! YES! Are you a twilight fan? We could start our own little fan club right here. Did you read the whole series yet?

 

[SunnyB1066]

Yep! Read them all and have seen the movie. LOVED them! Thought about starting over this week when we were without power from the ice storm, but Jen has it.

Guess I need to have her bring it over tomorrow. She and her dog and moving back in until they have power. She may not have it back for a couple of weeks and her friends house is getting a little small.

 

[HockeyKat]

Sunny!! Welcome!

We are a crazy bunch here but have a lot of fun.


Lyz, good to see you back. Holy posting batman!!

E, of course no hangover. Don't be ridiculous. And no food hangovers either because E (Cullen) does NOT eat junk!!

Liz, hope you are having fun in CT.

Amiee, hope that the mechanic thing works out for you. He sounds like a nice guy.

Paula, you kick booty. Well, Jesse might be kicking yours right about now...


Sorry for the mega set of goals. It really isn't as much as it seems, the water is easy, and the exercise is mandatory since I have already paid for the tournament. I am not setting a weight loss goal since I am not going to weigh this month.


Today is the day that I whip the house back in shape after being gone all week. Anyone want to come do all my laundry?

 

[amykab]

Hey All..

Sunny!

My Feb. Goals:

1. Exercise: C25K 3X/week. 1 Long run per/week in prep for 1/2 marathon on March 1st. Pilates or Shred 2X week.

2. Weight: Another 5 pounds!

3. Track calories 3 days a week. I am not going to try and change too much up. I just want to see where I am at with what I normally eat.

4. No alcohol. EXCEPT: Valentines, and Another girls night out, date TBD.


Can I just say that I am SO SO demotivated for my long runs. Ugh. I probably should not have signed up for another half at this point. Anyhow, I have a 4 miler scheduled for tomorrow. I'll do it even if I hate it.
