2/6/11 QOTD: Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?


Well since my EAGLES decided to once again blow it in the playoffs I am really not even looking forward to the superbowl. The only reason I would say GO PACKERS is because living in PA we have a ton of steelers fans here and it has made somewhat of a steelers and eagles fans rivalry. But either way it doesnt matter.

Have fun watching the game Kristi. I am looking forward to the commericials and half time show too.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

QOTD?

Well since my team is not in it, I am indifferent. However since Green Bay is in the NFC, I have to lean PACKERS!

I do have to watch for the commercials and half time as well.

I am sitting here with one my "salads", yea I know it is only 10:30amish however anytime is veggie time, right?

I have figured out how I am going to eat my veggies. I make "salads". Currently I have cut up carrots, cherry tomatoes, and a dash of feta and dressing.

Superbowl? Is today the day of the Superbowl?

I'm happily cleaning and organizing the home office today. Not much of a football fan.

 

[tigger813]

QOTD: I grew up a Steelers fan! Now I'm totally dedicated to my Patriots! I will be wearing my Wes Welker jersey during the game!

Can't wait for GLEE following the game!

Now on to business!!!!

We are up by over 30 pounds so far! We are still missing a lot of weigh ins from people!!! If you haven't already sent in your weigh in, please do so before Monday night at 7:30PM EST.

HI everyone,
Trying to catch up with reading everyone's posts, so much going on this week. First off for the past 2 weeks we have been having car issues. Fiance's "check engine light" just happens to go on right before he is due for inspection . He takes it to the garage, they had it for a week!!!!! So we were down a car and I had to ask my parents (thank GOD they live around the block) to take me and DD to school every morning since he had my car for work. He gets the car back, parks it and the check engine light and traction light goes on . So he had to take it BACK and they fixed whatever the problem was, but now he has to take the car to get inspected and I am still down a car b/c he won't be able to take it til Tuesday.
I also had Drs appointments this week and projects to do with DD for school, more snow here, and yesterday I had my brother and his fiance's engagement party. I felt like I ran around a lot and didn't eat much this week, but when I did eat I had the "unhealthy" option. Like pizza. I got my work outs in and I didn't eat much at the party last night. So..I really don't know what the scale will say tomorrow.
O O AND I made as an alternative to cupcakes.... weight watchers cupcakes. They are pretty decent. It was just a box of devils food cake mix, a can of pumpkin, and 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water (depending on what consistency you want). They kind of were like a cross between a brownie and a cupcake and you dont taste the pumpkin at all. You could also add the mini choc chips to the batter. DD LOVES them, Scott didn't like them, and i think they're good.

Hi All! My name is Alice, I'm 48, married with 3 kids: DS20, DS19 and DD17. I work in residential property management (I manage apartment communities and their staff). It's a fun job -something different everyday - but it does include a lot of desk time. I think I need to look into the pedal execiser a PP mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

This is my 3rd BL challenge - here and at my gym. The gym is where I do my workouts - the DIS W.I.S.H is where I get my inspiration! I lost a total of 30lbs in 2010, but between the holidays and a month sick with bronchitis, I put 7lbs back on. I like working out but I love food...sigh. Time for me to get back on track!

Go Team Mickey!

QOTD 2/5
Fave resorts so far? Loved POFQ for my last trip, which was much slower-paced and relaxed with just sis and I. When we go with the whole family, I have to vote for Pop Century - just better suits are go-go-go family.

Where would we love to stay? It's a unanimious vote for AKL!

QOTD 2/6
I don't have a stake in this Super Bowl, but I'll root for the Packers just 'cause no self-respecting Seahawks fan can root for the Steelers, LOL!

Here's a shameless plug for the February Exercise Challenge thread run by Julie (goldcupmom). http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2651249

The monthly challenges were a huge part of my success in 2010. The only person you are competing against is yourself, but it's definitely motivating to see others progressing toward their goal!

How is everyone's Sunday going?

We went to Kroger and got munchies for the game even though we probably won't really watch it. I wanted an excuse to get munchy stuff .

I hadn't ate yet today and Alan went out to the storage lot to work on one of the trucks. I didn't dive into all the yummy goodies we got and was good and had 3 ounces of baby carrots.

Food we plan on having for game:

Baby carrots with ranch dip
Chips with french onion dip (for Alan)
Lil smokies and meatballs in BBQ sauce (in crockpot as I type this)
Ritz crackers with sharp cheddar cheese and summer sausage

I also got sub bread for sub sandwiches and stuff for Velveeta chili dip. If we get hungry later on tonight after the game we'll probably just make sandwiches.

ITA! I did the exercise challenge every month in 2010 (and I still do it now). It really pushes me to push myself!

MM--that salad sounds good!

Thanks for all the congratulations yesterday! You all are so sweet!

We are rooting for the Packers (I normally root for the Colts.) DS and DH are huge Packers fans. We have had a packers flag in front of our house for weeks. DH has a Packers sweatshirt on. We have Packers stuff in our basement. Yes we do like green and gold at our house. So I have to say--Go Packers!

Enjoy the game everyone. Try to make some healthy choices--but please remember, it is one day. The wagon will still be rolling in the morning. Jump right back on no matter what you choose today. Don't beat yourself up. Realize that if you choose to eat snacky food during the game--which I plan to do--that it's a choice. And tomorrow I will choose to be as healthy as I can. Have a great night!!!

 

[aamomma]

Today is my "cheat day" so I have been off plan today. Already exercised, and WILL drink the rest of my H2O! (there I said it, I'm committed now!) Have a great day everyone!
QOTD: Go STEELERS!!!!! ( I wasn't going to answer even though we are HUGE Steeler fans 'cause I felt outnumbered!! But I went back 2 pages and saw KristiMc's post and didn't want to let Steeler Nation Down!!)

 

[tigger813]

Man, I screwed that message up earlier today! Mickey is up by 5 pounds!!!! I swear I hadn't had a drink then. I was awake part of the night! My spreadsheet wasn't lined up and I was thinking of something else. I knew it didn't seem right when I typed it!

Enjoying my Super Bowl Sunday food. I did have 3 large glasses of water before I started eating! I will get up at 5 to do the elliptical in the morning. Got the morning to myself I think! About to watch the game!

Can't wait until GLEE after the game! Enjoy everyone!!!!!

FYI, my nephew was on tv earlier today. He goes to UNC CHapel Hill and was in the front row at the basketball game this afternoon and was on tv several times and also got interviewed too! Hope to find it! He's an awesome kid! And a complete NUT!!!!

Monday, January 7--Happy Birthday Jeanette (Cupcaker)!!!!!!
I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hi everyone! Its been an interesting past couple of days. Friday, my DF set up a nice little party for me at a nightclub with our closest friends and a private section with bottle service. I had such a great time. I was surrounded by people I love and the music was great. My dress fit, and my hair came out cute. I just loved how my DF set up the entire evening and it made me love him even more But then came the next day. I was totally fine until noon, but then I started feeling and lets just say I paid too many visits to the bathroom the ENTIRE day. I hated it and didnt understand why. oh well.

Today my mother made me an awesome brunch for my birthday. Waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns, beans, fruit, breads, cheeses, orange juice, hot chocolate, and coffee. It was soooo good. It was better than any breakfast I have had.

I took tomorrow off as a vacation day so that DF and I can spend the day at Disneyland My yearly birthday tradition

Hope everyone has a good week this week!

WeLoveLilo05-That dress is really cute. I dont think its boring at all. And..thats a great price! Ive been thinking of having the bridesmaids wear different dresses, but in the same color, etc. I havent really looked for bridesmaids dresses. I think I'll have major input, but maybe they can decide based on choices I give them

With the officiant, you should go with whatever you and your DF are most comfortable with. Ultimately, its something you have to be happy with. I know the pressure thing. Sometimes we just have to put our foot down.

CC- I know you follow WW. Thats probably based on averages too. Maybe you should try the calorie thing for a week and see how that works out. If you can go see a dietician, maybe you can ask what they would recommend calorie-wise.

Kelli- WOW! You look amazing. You are doing such a great job. I love looking at your progress.

Taryn- Good luck on your test on Monday! Remember, theres always an end to the insane-ness.

Nicole- Go Nicole for staying dedicated even with the super freezing cold. I didnt know Netflix has workout videos. Thanks for the tip.

Tracey- Where do you get your pretzel kits? I love pretzels

Dave- Congrats on the 25 pounds!

Rose- congratulations on your new low. I think Im in that same mindset- how low can you go. Im getting close to a minimum I set for myself, so I will be joining you as a maintainer soon

Disneywedding2010- Yay for the 3 pounds down!

Tiki23- Welcome!

Jeanette

Thanks Rose!!

Jeanette- I found them at our local KMart. I bought all 5 that were there:4 for me and one for my co-worker!

Most disappointing halftime show in YEARS! Commercials are so so as well!

I hope I can stay up for Glee! I just downloaded a few new songs from Glee so I can listen to them on my ipod tomorrow. I will also get in some extra workout time tomorrow and take Izzie to get a haircut and pick up some printer ink at Staples.

This week is going to be CRAZY! Ashleigh has newspaper club after school and then dancing at 5. Tuesday, she has dancing from 6:15-7:15. Wednesday she has a chorus concert. Thursday, she has math team after school and now on Friday she has a 7:15 basketball playoff game. If they win they play again at 12:30 against an undefeated team! We have plans to go to Coco Key on Saturday for the weekend. "If" they win the 12:30 game they play again at 4:15. That would totally mess up the weekend!

TOM is arriving slightly early but the sooner it starts the sooner it goes BYE BYE!

Didn't eat as much as I thought I would tonight. I have been paying closer attention this weekend to what I eat so I should be able to get a slight loss in by Friday. I hope to do 4-5 miles tomorrow early in the day and then another 2 later in the day after errands. I'm also going to try and do 2 shakes a day all week. I would love to reach my goal by mid March. I have a weekend away planned with my girl friends the last weekend in March so I would love to reach my goal by then!

TTFN

PS I need to get out my workout clothes for the morning during the next commercial break!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Well I did go a bit overboard at my nana's superbowl dinner. It was mostly on the shrimp so I guess that is not too bad. It just tasted so yummy and it was really nice and cold the way I like it.

I would also say the halftime show was so so. How horrible was christina aguilera. Did anyone else notice she messed up the words. How humilating. How do you mess up our nations anthem????

I did my 10 mile run today and I am feeling so good about it. Now I am off to bed to get my beauty sleep. Tomorrow starts another crazy week.

Taryn, where are you?????????? I hope your ok and just really busy.

I hope you have a wonderful day at DL!!!



I've been sick off and on since Thursday. Came home early from work Thursday. Off and on fever and general ickiness, yet nothing too horrible. Stayed home Friday and middle son was home sick too. Had he gone to school I probably would have gone to work. Yesterday I felt better and today I was feverish again I guess I haven't eaten horribly, but not really feeling like doing much either. I did help middle son make a costume for his Gods project next week. He was assigned Apollo and needs to dress like him when he gives his speech. It came out pretty good and really didn't cost much thanks to good will and my craft supplies in the basement. Here's a couple of pictures

Apollo is the God of archery, poetry, music among other things. We have a quiver, bow and Liar


tonight I helped youngest son make a 100 out of 100 legos for the 100th day of school on Friday. He also got his valentine's made out so I think we've conquered this weeks projects

 

[njtinkmom]

Hi all. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I am hopefully going to have a good on plan week just need to figure out a plan lol had my chili and a little 7 layer dip with beans, sour cream, cheese, guacamole , tomatoes and olives and green onions - even dds liked it! I am looking forward to going away next Sun but really looking forward to coming back and starting WW. Thanks for the encouragement.

Question - everyone who has certain weights in a ribbon in your signature did you already lose that amount or is that a goal.
