10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread 24

[kdzgon]

I apologize in advance if this has been posted, but I cannot get through all the posts I've missed!!

Southwest Airlines is going to start serving Milwaukee starting Nov 1. It's too late to get to the cruise, but OK returning if anyone can use that airport. Book by Jun 26 and travel to or from Orlando November 1 through November 18, 2009 for $35! Book Jun 23-30 and travel November 1 through December 17, 2009 (with some blackout dates) and the fare is $79.

This might be old news to you all, but I have noticed there are a number of people here from WI - I have no idea where in WI, but I thought it was worth a post "just in case".

Steve - you aren't a bad dad - my 11 year old just learned how to ride her bike last year and the 7 year old learned as well. Fun times I am sure!! Yay on the swimming too - I bet they are having fun. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Thanks for the encouragement. They are having a blast. They've been having so much fun they've forgotten to fight with each other. Kinda weird.

I know that feeling! It is kind of a surreal moment for us parents.

Cass - thanks for the shopping info! I'm sure my DH won't be too happy, but I usually don't go TOO crazy with shopping!

So, how is everyone today? I'm just adding a drive-by post....work is nuts again today.

Hope everyone has a happy day!

Check out the CC pictures from our cruise. I had met Ellen on the member cruise last year, she has a really nice camera. The ones with the clouds are amazing, and yes they came in that fast!!

Hi all,

Just stopping in from a very hot Florida, hit 102 yesterday. The beaches are packed, I don't know how they stand it.

St thomas has two main area's to shop, the one off the dock is jewelry, perfume, liquor and T-shirts and stuff. There is another one a little further away which we didn't get to which has all the name brands- Coach, Vera Bradley- etc.

 

[Karen Mouse]

I guess no snorkeling for you on the cruise, eh??

Heck no!

I'll be the one ankle deep doing a wierd "keep away from me horrible fish" dance

When I get in I cant stay still incase they get close to me.

Even the little teeny ones scare me.... they always go round in big groups just to scare me

I did buy a goldfish once in the hope it would "cure" me of my fear, but it didnt... I couldnt even look at the thing

I did it.... I joined Weight watchers

Day 1 of "losing weight for the cruise"

I already know exactly what I SHOULD be doing,.... but now I'll have someone gasping in horror each week when I step on the scales might make me try a bit harder.

Wish me luck peeps - I'll really need your help... I have zero willpower

Good luck and I am right there with you. I have started back again to my plan yesterday too. I made it to the gym last night.....one day at a time.

Karen!! We can be WW buddies!! I am on Day 8 today - it's really easy and Nancy sent me HUNDREDS of recipes that are delicious!

I'm finally not STARVING all the time (yay) and I've got more energy. Just get through the first week and you'll be great.

Any help/encouragement you need, just give me a shout out!!

You go Joanne!! We can all do it together!!

I'm doing WW on my own (since I've done it SOOOO many times I know what I am supposed to do). I have a FABULOUS points tracking spreadsheet that I use (I didn't develop it - just use it). If anyone wants it, just send me a PM w/your email address and I will send it to you.

Thanks ladies for your support. I've lost 6lb over the last 2 1/2 weeks on my own, (and thats with cheating too!).
I'm aiming to lose at least 14lb more and I still wont be where I really want to be, but small baby steps and I'll hopefully get there. I got to goal years ago then blew it... I must admit - I'm really full still - I've filled up on veggies and salad at each meal today and I've up'd my fruit intake too. I've even told the cooks at school to only serve me healthy stuff (apart from the one chocolate pud which I will swap my wine and choc for that night!)

I still have enough points for 1 glass of wine and a square of dark chocolate...I figured I'd "budget" my wine and choc in my daily allowance - that way (hopefully) I wont crave the stuff and binge!

I've bought a WW pedometer - $21 and I'm up to 7500 steps today - didnt put it on til 11.45 this morning though, so I reckon another 2000 steps this morning. I'm off to jump on my trampoline to do another 500 steps that will make 10,000

Geez, the things we do for a smaller @$$

Good afternoon! We are so busy at work. They are keeping me from my DIS time. Hope everyone is doing well. Haev a great night!

Hey everyone. I'm in my RV relaxing. It's about 9:30 pm our time so all of you are long asleep. We had a day of accomplishments. I started the day teaching the. Kids to ride their bikes. I know, bad dad their already 5 and 8 and I'm just now getting around to it! Well Leah took to it very quickly initially but Stuart was a bit put off that she was doing so well so he redoubled his efforts and finally learned. Now he's riding about like a pro. Later we went to the pool and I wouldn't let them put their floaties on. It is a fairly shallow pool so I felt comfortable. Within a short period of time they were dog paddling about easily. I couldn't believe it. I've been trying to get Stuart to swim for years and in one afternoon he's acting like a fish. The place were we're staying is beautiful. I'd post pics but I'm on my iPhone right now and cannot. When we're back I'll post some.

if you're a bad dad for that, we must be really bad.
Cassies 22 and still cant ride a bike. she never wanted to.

looking forward to your pics.

Can you be my buddy too?! I definitely need help. I have MINUS willpower. I also work nights, so I struggled when I joined last year. Plus, I had trouble getting to the meetings. I did WW and NutraSystem...several times! I have lost weight....but it found me again and brought friends!

Anyway, I am like you... I KNOW what I SHOULD be doing, I just need to do it.

 

[Scouter]

What do you guys think of this? I found this while looking for something else dis on google:

Sour grapes over something that they were at fault at?

I would love to be WW buddies with you. My DH are sticking with it so far....but I"m a stress eater, so I have to keep stress low I can imagine that working nights is really hard for keeping on track.

LOL about your lost weight coming back and bringing friends. That's happened to me too.

Let me know what we can do to encourage each other. LIke I said, Nancy sent me lots of great receipes I will be happy to forward if you want me to!

Hiya Tony....missed you last night.



Why not do the mud room one together on a sea day. A cabana massage would be good too. They do get booked up very quickly and I think you can only book onboard. You'l have to check that one though.

A friend from last year's member cruise who shall remain nameless said that the thing he didn't like about the cabana massage was that it was very hot & sweaty.

Good morning everyone.

I am at work getting some things done. Later this afternoon I have to run to North-Central Connecticut where Extreme Makeover Home Edition is doing yet another build. I am working a 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM shift on the canteen. It's about an hour away, so it will be a late night for me.

Be sure to keep us posted when it is shown.

Very nice. Quite a coincidence that they chose the same cruise you did!

102 - wow. We almost hit 70 today! It's still rainy - there's a system sitting off the coast that keeps backing in. Sun on Thurs - maybe.


Good vibes and support to all of you who started WW.

Well, I guess I'm a bit guilty of comparing myself to others. I can't believe the number of children that I see that can do the the things my children struggle with. Then I blame myself for not spending time Doing those things with them. Of course my daughter can beat them into submission playing unreal tournament. So I have those bragging rights.
