Back from Poly- with 4.5 pounds to show for it!!

[lmhall2000]

Well, I really shouldn't be smiling- but I figure I walked 8 miles a day- ate WHATEVER I WANTED (including those warm chocolate chip cookies from Main Street Bakery) and my clothes fit looser now than when I left!!! I think I must have put on 4 pounds of muscle in my thighs- we had jam packed days starting at 7am and ending when the parks did- the only time I sat down was for meals and on rides- AMAZING and FUN! Now I need to get back with the program and hit my trick or treat goal of 179- I'm at 192.5 so I've got to get cracking!!!

Now I can officially AIM for my April 1st goal and one year anniversary with WISH to be at 140 by then- then spend the next 7 months pushing up the training for the marathon in January 2005. Anyone started planning yet? Gotta change my countdown clicker!! Thanks WISH - here's what I loved the most about hitting Disney over 50 pounds lighter than the last trip.....

1. WIGGLE ROOM- even with a 4 & 5 year old on most rides with me!

2. WALKING long distances and FAST to make those great rides- thanks to the devotion I've had to walking since joining and being inpsired for the 2005 marathon with WISH'ers.

3. ENJOYING looking at our pictures- I looked sooo much better in these pics than in the 2001 trip!!

4. Not being bigger than the characters at the breakfasts- I actually was slimmer than Pooh this time! :)

5. AND THE GREATEST THING- MY SHORTS DIDN'T RIDE UP- no more crotch wedgies!! :) YEAH!!!

6. Gotta add- I went to Blizzard Beach without a coverup!! :) And I wore a size 14 suit! :)

Thanks guys!!!
Tara

Welcome Back Tara! Sounds like you had a great time! I enjoyed your list of things that you enjoyed this time. On my next trip to WDW I hope to be lots lighter and I am looking forward to some of those very same things. Don't worry those 4.5 lbs will be gone in no time and the important thing is you had a great trip!

TARA!!!!!!!!! Welcome Home, Twinkie!!!! :wave2:
It sounds like you had a fantastic vacation!!! I am so happy for you!! I bet those Disney pounds drop off fast - it's just water you're retaining from the warmth and humidity of FL. ;) Here's some pixie dust :wizard: for a quick return to your departure weight and then onward and downward for you! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

PS: How was the Poly?
