10 months to go and 60 pounds to loose.Update 1/2/11 Page 38

[Charlefours]

You're amazing!! I want to get back into running the C25K program too. I really want to run the 5K with you and Wendy at the F&W Festival next year.

What a sticky situation you are in with your brother. I think it should be a decision he makes with his DDs but that is just my lowly two cents. I hope it gets worked out, with no feelings/any one upset. But with a divorce in the mix, it will be hard for it not to happen.

Hi again.... great job on only having 3 pounds to go to your big landmark goal. By now you've probably got less to go because you wrote that a few days ago. The 3 1/2 I lost when I started walking has stayed off, but I guess it was a big all at once bonus because it has slowed down, but I'm still on track. I'm now at 15 1/2 pounds lost, and 4 1/2 to my big 20 pound goal. After that 10 more and I'll be happy... 15 more and they'll be peeling me off the ceiling Good Luck, and keep up the great work!!!

Good for you!! Um yeah I am not even going to STEP on that scale for a few weeks. Not this week because I dont want to think about it on vacation.... not next week because I dont want to see the damage i have done... but maybe the week after that I will step on it and see how much weight I need to loose to get back on track!

Wow-you are rocking C25K, girl! You should be so proud.
So, when do you leave for the cape? It must be soon? Will you be making your ADR's when you are on vacation? I think you should join the club I am thinking of founding "Mom's Who Vacation For A Profession(MWVFAP)" What do you think??

On to your ADR's.. Have you considered doing Rose and Crown for supper and watching Illuminations from their patio? I am thinking there was a reason you were doing Teppan Edo (sp?) for supper that night, though?

That is a tricky situation with your nieces. I hope that it all works out. Do you think your nieces will be upset if the others come along? That is a lot of big transitions in a short period of time.

Have a super fab vacation!!!!

Luckily that whole situation ended working itself out! They are not coming because of the cost etc! All good! Maybe next year! So Yeah I am totally up for MWVFAP!!! Rose & Crown would be good. Someone said Teppan Edo would be good because we would get a private room maybe? I wanted Rose and Crown but wasnt sure how to fit 14 people together in such a small place!?
We leave tomorrow!! So excited!! I will take a million pictures I am sure.

Hey Nickie! Just wanted to stop by and say have a great week at the Cape!!

I'm officially joining Jill's MWVFAP group!

Thanks Wendy!!!! I am sure I will be chatting with you from my lounge chair on FB!

That is so great!!! Way to go!!!
I think your plans look really good! We did the Ohana breakfast on our last morning, and it was a fun way to end the trip. Our ressie was for something like 10:30, so you could still sleep in a little.

aww, thanks so much! I love Ohana breakfast but this year I am really trying to stick to the meal plan and not do extra! It is SO hard!!!!!!

Subscribing late in the game but better late than never. I am so trying to lose weight for our December trip. I know I can do it. I lost 50 lbs with WW before but have since gained it all back and then some. Would you mind sharing some of your meal plans with me? Also, this may sound silly but what is C25K?

Your trip sounds great!

Hey!! I see your from Cape Cod!!! We are heading there tomorrow for our summer vacation. So excited!!!!! We LOVE the Cape!!!!!! Kids are ESPECIALLY excited for the Drive - in because Despicable Me and Toy Story 3 is playing this week!!

Good luck with your challenge! As you know it is a LONG one and a HARD one and there is lots of ups and downs. I had a good run there for awhile and now for the last month or so besides starting to run (that is the Couch to 5 K program C25K) I havent been eating very healthy and havent last anymore weight. My PLAN is when I am back from vacation I am getting serious again!!!!

 

[that's nice]

Nickie & Wayne- have a great time in the Cape!

Look forward to more planning when you get back!

Thanks Tim!!
Here now and really enjoying it so far!!!!!!!!!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Good Morning!! I feel like I havent been on the DIS in FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got home from a WONDERFUL trip to Cape Cod! We spent the entire week laying on the beach and had PERFECT weather and just couldnt have asked for a nicer vacation!!!

Right before we left we booked our airfare- the day Jetblue released their extended dates!! We got 4 tickets for $830. Not bad!!! Jet blue doesnt make you pay for the bags and has the TV for the kids. Plus everyone on Jetblue to Orlando is going to Disney- we feel like it is almost like taking Magical Express!! They need to put a big Mickey on the plane!

I also just made our ADR's!!!! So excited. We got everything we wanted. I was scared with such a big group. Most of the ADR's were for 14 people.

Here is what we got:
Friday our flight arrives at 9:30AM!!
After ME and checking into POFQ - boat to DTD for lunch at Earl of Sandwich
Friday - first dinner - Chef Mickey at 5:40PM
Saturday - Teppan Edo at 6:10PM- they said we would get a private room!
Sunday - Breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:05AM!! (Before park opening!!) and Dinner at 5PM at the Wave.
Monday - Dinner at Kouzzina at 8PM (we will take the boat over after Fantasmic which is at 6:30 that night)
Tuesday - I wasnt able to book Hacienda yet - but will call back in a couple weeks.
Wednesday - T-Rex at 7PM
Thursday - 1900 Park Fare at 4:55PM
Friday - Last day Breakfast at Ohana at 8:00AM - then off to the MK to say goodbye!!
Our flight is at 7:45PM

So glad you had a great vacation! Will you do a mini trip report about it? That's awesome you got your plane tickets and all the ADRs you wanted!

 

[DisneyMomm]

Hi there. Glad your trip went well. Buying the plane tickets is so exiting isn't it... it makes it feel so final, that the trip is for sure We're flying Jetblue too. I've only flown Soutwest to Orlando, so I'm really excited about the t.v.'s for this flight.

Anyway, I'm down to a month and 5 days before our trip to Disney, and I've finally hit the 20 pound mark. I think I hit a plateau for the last 2 1/2 weeks because although I kept working out, and didn't cheat on the diet, my weight didn't budge... so frustrating Then I read somewhere that your body can go into starvation mode and hang onto weight because it thinks it has to, and if you raise your calorie intake for a few days,it tricks your body. So that's what I did. I stuck to the diet, but added a few treats for a couple of days, and then went back to the very strict, no treat policy, and in the last 4 days another 2 1/2 pounds came off. So I'm kinda celebrating that I found a "legal" excuse to add a treat in every once in a while. So 10 more pounds for me ... and I'll be happy

I know just coming back from vacation is not the best time for weight, but how are you doing, hope all is going well with the C25K

Glad you had a nice time in the Cape... A few of my friends were there while you were there.. although I'm not sure what town they were in. Did you see and great white sharks? It was all over the news here that they were spotted very close to shore.

Good deal! We love flying Jetblue too!!!!!

[longing2Batdisney]

Hey Nickie,
the Cape sounds so wonderful! wish we could have extended our beach days; but, Danny and Ashton were so happy to finally get to have them. Loved the pictures you shared on FB...and happy to hear you guys were not affected by the Great Whites...

for getting your air tickets!!! you guys need to bring some WDW decorations with you...too, bad you can't; that would be fun if everyone on plane is Disney bound...maybe some sing alongs would be fun!

your ADR's sound great! can't wait to hear what you guys think of T-Rex since we had cancelled ours this past trip...had I know my parents would grumble about all the food I would not have CX'd :confused1:

the reservation at Teppan Edo sounds like it will be so much fun! to have a room to just your party!

CONGRATS!!!! You are doing SO GREAT!!!! Yes it is so hard and I am not really not that into this whole "being healthy thing" LOL I NEED to get back into it though.

Glad you had a nice time in the Cape... A few of my friends were there while you were there.. although I'm not sure what town they were in. Did you see and great white sharks? It was all over the news here that they were spotted very close to shore.

I'm loving all your ADRs!!! They look great to me!!!

Thanks Tim! I have already changed them!! I should wait to post my adr's a week before the trip because they just keep changing. lol

Teppan Edo I am really pumped for - especially having the private room!! I love Epcot and think it will be a great first night with the family!!!

LOL Yes NO sharks!! We did see the seals though!

 

[my2disneyboys]

I really hate to report this, and I hope I don't loose any DIS friends but I can't go next October to run in the 5k! Just coming home from our summer vacation and looking forward to Disney in 5 months it is going to be financially impossible to go back to Disney 7 months after we get home! I hope you all understand!

I will pick a 5K run local so I will be running along with you guys but just not in Disney!!

So it looks like we will be going last week in January 2011 and again in 2012.

[Charlefours]

So sad you won't be able to make the 5K.

 

[that's nice]

That's it... we are no longer DIS friends!


I think running in any 5K for the first time is commendable where ever you do it. I'm sure you won't lose any friends.

 

[praisehisname]

So sorry you had to cancel the 5K, but you have to do what is best financially for you and your family.

 

[wlwilliams9]

OK, I've stopped crying after your last announcement , but I'm still going to try to peer pressure you into at least going for the weekend of the race!

 

[leamom2princesses]

I am pouting but I will get over it. I was really looking forward to meeting you, Wayne and the boys next year. I'm in Wendy's camp of wondering if you might be able to make it for a weekend?

 

[my2disneyboys]

Thanks for understanding!! BUT....I am not giving up all hope of a quick trip in October! I am thinking and looking now to go back to work and if that happens then money will be much better and who knows.... maybe a quick trip in October would be perfect. Maybe a trip to bring the Mom's?? I am not giving up all hope but also don't want to let anyone down either. I REALLY want to meet you all and run in the 5K with ya!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Also I should update on the weight and C25K - Repeating week 6 on C25K this week and still struggling with the weight and getting back on track after vacation. I did something VERY BRAVE for me.... I am booking a Photo Shoot at the GF while we are in Disney. I think this will be a good motivation for me to look my best. I think some of you may remember that I just couldnt bring myself to do the photo shoot last time because of how much weight I gained since having Owen, but now I think it is just the motivation I need to keep plugging away at this REALLY HARD thing of "being healthy"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Yay!! There is hope afterall!! I knew a little peer pressure might do the trick!! I'm just telling myself that you are still going! Positive thinking right!?!

I think we are going to do a shorter trip next October too, probably Thurs 9/29 - Tues 10/4 because we are saving up for either the cruise or Disney's Aulani resort in May 2012 for our 10 year anniversary! I'm going to book bounceback if I can in December. If not, that will be covered by free dining next fall!

Keep up the great work on the C25K. Once the weather turns cooler and Myles is back in school, it'll get easier to get back into the routine of working out more. There are just too many interuptions during the summer and the heat....oh the heat!! Are you sending Owen to preschool this year? If he was in school a couple of mornings, that would give you ample time to get your groove on!!

I know I need to get my booty in shape for the 5K or I'll be on the sidelines cheering you on and I don't want that! The sidelines part, not the cheering part! Of course, I will be cheering for us both!!
