Friday

WOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOO! It's a Very Halloweenie Fat Ticker Friday + Peep Show!

Updated with weigh-in:

Weight: my contribution to the pot this week: 1 pound! wooee!
Goal for next week: MORE EXERCISE!

* * *

Apparently I love the fall and everything in it. Like homemade pumpkin spice lattes like I'm drinking right now. And baking things like Apple Crisp, Pumpkin Muffins, Spice Cookies, and making Pumpkin Rice (I just put this up on RecipeZaar it's that good!) and pumpkin-shaped grilled cheeses and monster pizza and today, for Halloween, mummy hot dogs and tombstone sandwiches. Yum! And yes, I've tried some of my creations, but the more decadent ones, only once and only a small serving. I just like tastes of things. I feel like I've been cooking up a storm lately.


Anyway, before I get into all the weigh-ins and whatnots, I'm making this a big long picture-post because today's fun project was posting pictures of something, anything dressed up and since it won't be until later when the kiddos are dressed up, I'll share with you one of my famous Peeps photo shoots in honor of Halloween. And no judging. No thinking, "What on earth does she do all day?!" and things like that. Because Peeps are kinda my thing. I don't know why. I'm weird. Everyone already knows this. This isn't news. So here it is without further adieu: The Official Halloween Peep Photo Shoot of 2008:


The Firefighter


Trick or treaters: The Baseball Player, The Firefighter, and Snow White



Peep Jogger

And it was all fine and good when I was taking pictures of the trick-or-treaters when I noticed one Peep getting into all the candy.

And then he had a little too much....




And he was reallllly unhappy about that. No one likes to barf. Not even a Peep.


But then his day went horribly wrong... ending very badly when my two-year-old walked into the room. Poor Peep.

So that's it! Link it up and show me yours!


And how did everyone do this week??? I got some good runs in, (i.e. crazy 5 1/2 mile run that I didn't mean to do but my poor math skills made me do it) and ate pretty well, so I'll be weighing in at 8 a.m. and reporting back after that.


How did you do??!!! Do tell!! Don't forget there's a blog design up for grabs from Designs by Summer (thank you Summer!)

Psst. Did you know...

WE'RE IN THE FINAL COUNTDOWN PEOPLE! STARTING TOMORROW, IT'S NOVEMBER! IT'S THE LAST MONTH, THE LAST FEW WEEKS, OUR LAST HURRAH!!!!!!!!! I'M PUTTING A LOT OF EXCLAMATION MARKS HERE!! AND HERE! AND ANOTHER ONE HERE! BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG DEAL! LET'S GIT ER DONE! LET'S PUMP IT UP! LET'S CHEER EACH OTHER ON TO THE FINISH LINE!!!!!!!



Have a wonderful Happy Halloween! I'll be posting pics of the 2-year-old firefighter and his dalmatian brother riding in the fire engine wagon later on!

    Ok, I'll be honest here. Zero effort = zero rewards. I'm up a pound. Here's to next week and starting the couch 2 5k program. Cheers!

    Oh boy, let's see, I haven't been keeping track lately since I have had the bum knee but I am 195, so I think the last time I checked in I was at 194? I dunno, so let's say up a pound. It's been a challenging few weeks (over 3 to be exact) and I'm hoping and praying that starting Monday, I can really get back into a good workout routine.

    Happy Halloween everyone!

    I don't have a weight loss to report this week. But considering the week that I had, I'm pleased.

    PS. I love the "peep" show. How creative.

    I have had a really bad few weeks. I guess I just got down that I wasn't losing so I kind-of gave up. But, I WAS maintaining before I gave up & now I am up 1.6 lbs. I am so sorry!

    Well, at least I don't have to post a gain again! I'm really stuck around my current weight though, and can't seem to break past it. Bleh. But, I am happy to report that I'm down 0.2 of a pound from last week. That is up .2 of a pound from yesterday, but that doesn't count, does it!? :-) Of course, neither does a .4 pound loss by weighing in yesterday vice today. :-(

    No change. I did okay with the exercise, especially considering the gym has been closed all week, but the Halloween candy got me. ;o(

    holding steady. none lost and none gained. i'm walking more and getting better. doc cleared me for work and exercise but i have to admit that just easy walking (1-2 miles daily) is about all i can handle so i am happy to be holding steady. hopefully my goblins won't be getting too many treats that might tempt me.

    I'm down 2 this week. Man oh man this is a hard time of year to diet! All I want to do is curl up in blankets and sleep for the winter. We're having GORGEOUS unseasonably warm weather (70's) right now though so at least we've gotten to spend a lot of time outside!
