In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[HockeyKat]

Tussin is the Wal-mart generic version of Robotussin. It rather tastes like you licked the floor of said Wal-mart. Actually, maybe worse... sort of like if you keep an advil in your mouth too long.

However, it is supposed to help w/ chest congestion and coughing. It also has the wonderful side effect, for me anyhow, of frequent and urgent bathroom needs. MyAlli has nothin' on this stuff! But hey, I guess maybe that will mean less calories absorbed?

Dawn, do I need to PM you about the contest? You already have my address...

Thankfully I seem to be feeling a lot better. Unfortunately, that means back to work tomorrow.

Glad you are better and thanks...I honestly thought Tussin was a type of veggie I had never heard of before from Zimbabwe...no don't have to PM me...my elbow actually has cramps from all this typing today and fact gathering...I am going to sue UM!

Hi Everyone...

Hope all is well with you all... I am taking a break from attempting to knit a sock (badly, but it is keeping me from eating so that is a good thing...) and watching the Biggest Loser to check in. I am feeling much better tonight than I was last night.

I am getting closer to a decision about my future and I think for the first time in my life I am going to choose my needs over those of my job, other people, etc. The details are still being worked out in my head, but I am in a much better place than I was a day ago.

Thanks to you all for listening to my off topic rants.... All of your words of wisdom were welcome and taken to heart. What would I do without all of you....

OK - back to our regularly scheduled program....

How are we going to beat those peeps people.... I am not that big of a help this week as I stress ate my way to a 3.5 pound weight gain.... I am working on getting rid of them as quickly as they came so I am looking for big numbers next week.... Of course I could change my weigh in date to see if my numbers look any better on Friday than they did last night...

I'll let the team decide on that one... I have enough rolling around in my head right now....

Have a good night everyone...
Goof

I'm so glad you're feeling better about things...I had no advice for you, but I was thinking about you! Let us know how it all works out.

God bless your sweet baby! She looks so healthy in the pictures. I would never guess that she has gone through such a battle.

E-Kelly is precious. Sweet as can be. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks you guys! It is a going to be a long month for us...lots of tests to be done and lots of waiting for results...

I am feeling a bit better this afternoon than I did this morning... On the plus side, I managed to stay on my eating plan for the day with no extras so that is a plus....

Good job staying OP! As for the decision, glad it is not quite as anxiety-producing. And look at it this way...either way you decide is a win. You are making a choice between two GOOD things.

Holy Cr@p Batman....I am gone for an actual afternoon of work...
BTW...did not anyone see my you-tube video I linked...what no response at all...last time I share sexy Swiss men with any of you all...

That is how I feel. I was offline for 9 hours and I come home to all of this! Actually, I love it. I was so happy to see that there has been lots of activity! And yes, I saw the yummy men on YouTube. But you gotta remember, I already have a hunka hunka burnin' love around here, so male models do little for me...

I need to tell you that really...besides the cow dude...none were worth looking at for me either...but that would be because I need a person's personality to find them attractive...bodies come and go...but a stellar personality will romance you forever...

I will be tell you a true story...there was a couple at the first college I went to that had to marry very young...he was a wrestler and way hot....anyway...he was seriously injured ain a motorcycle accident when 25 with a wife and three kids already...paralyzed from the neck down and still...a beautiful man because he was still the same inside as before and I never looked at his outer shell.

In high school I dated the United Nations of people..different countries and abilities...one huy was paralyzed from waist down, o ne was deaf...etc...I need a connection to the inner soul...

so why did I marry a turd???

Welcome!! *waves*

OK OK OK here is my trip report... Same as the Disneyland forum one but I'm adding food related thoughts... lol...

I am finally doing my trip report from this weekend... Lets see where to begin... DH and I left work at 12:30 pm our time (an hour ahead of Cali time) and got on the road to Anaheim... Before going we grabbed lunch... I had a turkey wrap with avocado, cucumber, sprouts and mayo... Could have been healthier but could have been much worse... Which I was... We stopped at Burger King for a snack and I devoured a whopper junior... oh ya and 2 samoas... LOL... We made kinda crappy time and got to the Motel 6 at about 6pm Cali time. We hung out in our room for a bit and relaxed then headed over to the park for dinner... Dinner consisted of a massive corn dog and chips... We got dinner and then got on Pirates and HM... Then we headed for Pooh which had no line at all... Then I stopped to get a bucket of popcorn... I love DL popcorn... lol... I did pass up the cookies from the Pooh Bakery which is in fact a triumph! We then met up with my friend Kyle who finally showed up around 10:30 and we took off since we were tired... Some kid dropped a Star Tours car and we picked it up but he was rushed off by his parents so now we have it... LOL...

Saturday morning rolls around and we head to the park... We grabbed our tickets for the Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour. First thing we do in the park is ride the fire truck... We've never done it and so now it can be crossed off the list... Got a sticker too We go to the castle and get our photo pass picture taken. The photopass lady asks us if we've done all the rides we wanted and we said we just got there. She leaned and told us that the dream team was near Snow Whites Grotto and we should head over there to get Dream Fastpasses... Thats right!!! We got DREAMED!!!! After this we went on Mr. Toad and Peter Pan. Then we grabbed breakfast (for me it was a chocolate drizzled and filled croissant and a mocha) and headed over to the Guided Tour area. We met our friends Shelby and Peter who also took the tour with us. The tour was amazing. We learned so much... I even cried... LOL!!! Club 33 is beautiful! After the tour and lunch (3 cheese and veggie sandwich and fruit... I was good and gave my DH the cookies) we walked around and gathered fast passes for Shelby and Peter since we had our Dream Fastpasses... We met up with Kyle again and then we all split up to gather fast passes. DH and I then texted pixiewings71 from the Disneyland DISboard whom I'd been in contact with all day and we met up with her and her bf and her beautiful girls... We talked for a bit in front of Aladdins Storytelling thing. We then traded pins and took pics... Definitely looking forward to seeing her again. After that Shelby, Peter, DH and I headed to Toontown to use our Roger fastpass but it broke down. So we decided to go to California Adventures and grab our fastpasses there. We hung out around there and then went to dinner at Ariel's Grotto. Honestly the food was ok but I wasnt impressed. We ate cheaper and better at the Blue Bayou. I had a salmon blt, a few fries, a salad with ranch which my DH ate most of since his soup was awful... The saving grace was my apple dessert which was kind of like apple pie ala mode without the pie crust. I didn't even get to see Aurora... So after that... We go to California Screamin... Here is where things got kinda ugly... We were waiting in line and this group of gang banger types (not to be stereotypical but they were) starts trying to push their way through saying they are meeting there party... Well I step in front of the chick while she is trying to cut under the bar and she gets up pissed cuz I won't let her through. She starts swearing at me and I tell her that her group can wait for her. Of course no one else is saying anything but she starts cursing at me and pushing me out of the way. At that point I get so pissed and I started swearing at her (not like me) and my DH finally tells me to drop it because he doesn't want to have to hit her if she hits me. So we let her go and I complain to the ride operator who does NOTHING!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was so shocked. I have never had a bad experience at DL and I was floored. So I spent the next hour steaming about it. After I cooled down we went on Soarin and headed back into Disneyland to use the rest of our fast passes. After that all of us were tired and starting to get cranky so we all left.

Sunday DH and I slept in and headed to DL after checking out to do some shopping... Got some pins and found out it was Pin with Purchase day!!! Woohoo!! So we each got free pins and now I need a new lanyard... This will be lanyard 4. Also got a cute castle picture frame. Had a wetzel's pretzel with some nacho cheese for breakfast... Then we headed out and went home... On our way we had mcdonalds for lunch... I had a bacon cheese angus burger and fries... Then at the gas station I got a piece of teriyaki beef jerky and had another girl scout cookie on the way... For dinner when we got home we had pizza hut... I only had a slice of meat lovers and like 6 wings...

All in all it was a pretty good trip... I'm just shocked I didn't gain more weight... lol! I hope this was worth the wait... I promise the postcards will get out soon.. My big boss from Israel is in town so we all have to constantly look busy and we got a new shipment so I'm taking diamond pictures... We got a nice 6.5 carat round I wouldn't mind owning... LOL!!! Hope everyone had a good night...

Sarah

P.S. Goof I got your postcards today... Both of them... LOL!! Stupid mail system... Speaking of did you hear they are raising postage again to 42 cents?! What to deuce man!?!

 

[HockeyKat]

Laura thanks for stopping by!

Goof, glad you are feeling better about things.

Dawn, I am the same way... value personality over looks. No comment on the turd!

Erika, I hope that all the tests come out okay and your poor angel doesn't have to go through any more.

Sarah sounds like fun!!

We have had massive t-storms here tonight so I haven't been on much.

I ate another 235 cals.. 30 in light cheddar, 35 in laughing cow, 70 in pringles, and 100 in cupcakes. That puts me at a much better 1120. I have to force myself to eat a bit when I am sick, everything tastes like paste.

 

[Dizneydawn]

I saw the subject of this thread about two days ago and started reading, well I made it to about page 30 when I realized that there were 90+ pages on here!

All of you are so inspirational and FUNNY!

I also am a bit of a hippo and want to join the zoo here. I started WW last night after trying JC and not getting anywhere. I got really tired of the food and started to skip meals. I wouldn't cheat and eat bad, just not eat and well that got me nowhere as well.

So, here I am. Starting fresh and new. I feel like a first grader asking if I can join a club but can I can I?
