2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas*

[V4dice]

Hi sandy and veronica,I just came in from raking i only got one bed down it is way to windy. I consider that my excercise for today..lol .

I was planning on raking for my exercise too but it started raining...oh well I will just have to go exercise tomorrow. I ended up at the school most of the afternoon with PTA stuff so I didn't get to Curves today. I guess I will have to be extra good with what I eat

I don't care what takeaway I have, as long as I don't have to cook or wash up then I'm happy

I'm another one that loves take out....probably why we are all needing to diet I love Wendys, Italian, & Greek

Well ladies, I did my exercise DVD. I did the easy one today, boy am I out of shape.

Great job doing the exercise DVD! It will get easier! Have a wonderful time tomorrow

Hey Girls

Paul has finally put our December Cruise on DVD, and I'm just sitting here watching it - it's great, though I really don't remember doing the Limbo dance to Hot, Hot, Hot in Parrot Cay (must've been a good night )

So we are going to have lots of fun with you on this cruise!!!! I was just watching a little of our video from November (its still in the camcorder) and I'm ready to go too!!

Hope everyone is having a great afternoon!

Wow, great picture!!!! Your going to hear me giggling like a school girl in July when I go and see my fav Sting with The Police . We have 6th row seats!!!! We were supposed to see them in November but Sting had the flu and they had to reschedule The new date is July 30!!!! I can't wait Debi

DH loves the Police too. The will be here in August he's still deciding if he wants to spend $40 for lawn tickets. Last time he was here we saw him for free. That was awesome.

Mandy

Laurie- you go girl 3.2 lbs. That's really impressive you guys are all doing so great I can't wait to throw stuff at ALL of you

Have a great time at the concert tonight, you must be so psyched

Well, here it is - I am back and DETERMINED to catch up tonight!! LOL

Thanks girls - on the encouragement and 'praise' on the weight loss - it USUALLY keeps me going - but, due to my busy schedule these days, I've been eating on the run - so, no exercise OR decent eating habits.. TOMORROW I am going ot be back on track!!! LOL

 

[DVCLaurie05]

I finally made my ADRs!

Sci-Fi Drive In (lunch)
San Angel Inn (dinner)
Le Cellier (dinner)
'Ohana Character Breakfast

We really like Portobello Yacht Club at Downtown Disney so we will probably go there for lunch one day too (although the last couple times we went there we were a little disappointed...some of our favorite things are off the menu).

I didn't go too crazy with reservations since we will be eating like pigs for 4 days before on the cruise.

Now I just have to wait for Southwest to release the dates so I can book my flights and we are all set

Veronica - GREAT choices - when are you going to Ohana - I THINK I am going to have to cancel or reschedule my ADRs - I thought our flight was at 2pm - it's actually at 11 - (we haven't booked yet, but that is the one we are hoping for w/the AMEX miles) - it's either 11am or really late at night.. so, I may need to go earlier or cancel.

Laurie,
The verandah party is definately by inviation only...lol..no kids allowed..j/k

GOOD - that'll keep out the undesirables!! Hmmmmmmmm.......

Me too after i posted that i ran for a ww snack bar
lol

OH- and I am sure that helped cure the craving for a delicious Disney meal! LOL

Not me...I'm baking cupcakes. My plan is to send at least 1/2 of them home with my BIL for their house though (if they are not in the house I can't eat them). I'm going to try to be good and just have 1. I promise I will be good like you tomorrow (only one week until I get weighed).

Has anyone ever tried making cupcakes w/sugar free applesauce instead of oil?? That is pretty good - and you can't tell the difference!! Also, WW has a recipe for making cake/cupcakes using a can of diet soda - I am not exactly sure of the recipe, but my cousin made cupcakes for her son's bday - and they were pretty good - you couldn't even taste the soda - If anyone is interested - I can ask her - BTW - Things are MUCH better w/her!!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Let's see... I too like those Sappy 80's movies! Mystic Pizza is one of my favorites. In fact the love song was our prom song! I also seem to like anything with Kate Hudson and Matthew Mc McConaughey.. I think I just like to drool over MM honestly!


Sorry if I missed anything! I am working on getting caught up!

Speaking of MM - did you see U-571 w/him and JBJ.. ahhhhhhhhhhh.. I just can't get enough of him, can ya tell?!?! LOL

NO problem - it's hard to catch up - BELIEVE me - I know - seems like I am always playing catch-up these days!! Forgive me if I miss anything on my 'spree' here!! It'll be post after post from me for a while -

Hi jen,
We are supposed to be getting the50's here all next week and was thinking of opening the windows too.

Not for long just to let some fresh air in.

I can finally take down the christmas lights now..It has been way to cold and if i waited for jeff they would stay up until next year

It has been gorgeous the past two days - we shut the heat off for a bit too - it's GREAT!! It was almost 70 here yesterday and today!

I'd say it is finally time to take those lights down! OR you could leave them up till next Christmas!!!

Good morning everyone

Laurie - Great picture! I'm glad the concert was awesome. I can't believe you get to go back again...congrats on getting the tickets

I don't have too many plans for today but DD was up until 11pm last night very cranky. She never really got rid of the cold/virus we had weeks ago. Today she woke up with eyes a little crusty so I'll have to watch to make sure its not pink eye I just want winter over! I'm going to be like Jen today with the windows open (its supposed to be 50 today )

WOO HOO - I could talk about JBJ all night - but, I'll spare you guys!!

How is she feeling?? Could be allergies too ya know?? How are the Mets doing - I have to start checking on them too - I've been so preoccupied!!

Good Afternoon Girls

Laurie - Brilliant photo, you must've been quite close to get such a good photo. Congratulations on getting tickets for tonight, I hope you have just as much fun as last night

We weren't that close, but, my zoom is pretty good -

Laurie, I am so glad you were able to get the tickets for tonight but i hate you..lol
Sorry i missed you this morning but i couldn't get out of bed because someone kept me up so late last night..lol .

Me too - and I know you hate me, but you'll get over it - What would you do w/out your evil counterpart!!!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Hi Mandy,
I just got back from lunch with my friend cristina. While we were out we stopped at target and i got a couple f e things and a scale..ugh..didn't want to get on it but i want to know just how much weight i am losing so i did it..lol

Man was it an eye opener i was shocked to be honest..iI am very depressed now... I thought i was lighter...Now i am more motivated though so i guess it was a good thing to really know.

OMG - finally got the scale huh? I hate the first time back on - but, it'll get better - you'll start losing and that number will disappear... You are doing great so far!!!!

Its been quiet here the last few days so here is a question for everyone...

What do you look forward to most on the cruise (your must do list)? If you haven't cruised what are you looking forward to trying?

Have to run do more PTA stuff but I can't wait to read everyone's responses...

It was so quiet because I was out w/JBJ all week! LOL You all MISSED me didn't you?!?!?!?!?

IDOL is 80s night tonight - WOO HOO!!!

My fav things on the cruise:
EVERYTHING!!!! LOL

UGH - PTA - I spent my WHOLE day at school yesterday.. and now dealing w/nominations for next 'term'... I am not sure what to do... I'd like to take a break from it - I get paid money at work to do what I do for PTA (treasurer) - I am going to start submitting a bill! LOL I might change spots and move to 1st Vice this year - we'll see.. .

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Love your answers...its making me very excited for the cruise...

I'm so excited about the 2 stops at Castaway too..this is our first double dip! This is my 1st time doing a fish extender too & I'm sure it will be such fun....plus getting to shop for it adds to the excitement. Can't wait to meet all of you too! How did I know Bahama Mamas were going to be on your list Mandy

Room service -one of my son's favorite things..."You mean we don't have to pay for it" (Although he doesn't realize Mommy & Daddy paid lots of money for the cruise)

OMG - I am excited about two stops at CC - that is why we booked in August - I'd like to go there for a WHOLE week! LOL

Oh - aren't kids funny - they think it's free - LOL - we were talking about the movie theater... when we went on in 05 - they premiered "Chicken Little" - so the kids thought it was great, this way we didn't have to go and PAY to see it in the movies - Uh, Hello - that movie ran a tab of about $3000! LOL

We have never been on a Disney Cruise but l'll have what your having
Debi

You are going to love it!!!!

Guess what- I started counting my WW points today. I was so good but I was convinced that I was starving. Next step, break out the exercise DVD. I had planned on it today but was too busy. My weigh ins at home will be on Monday nights. DH said he would hold a meeting for me if I needed him to. I said - the girls on the DIS will help me out Hopefully I'll have to buy all new clothes for the trip but I'll settle for fitting better in the ones I have. What's everyone up to tonight?

WTG - you go Girl!! Starve and Sweat w/us!!! LOL

Welcome to our dieting club...we'll all suffer now but think how good we will look in August!

At least we can all suffer/vent here about how HUNGRY we are!!!

Hi Veronica

 

[kobesam]

Just stopping by to say hi. So many posts and so little time. I have to go to Vancouver for work until Sunday then I'll catch up with all the posts. (by then I'm sure will be another 20 pages)

Hope everyone is doing well and happy dieting. I've kind of given up and just decided I'm happy just the way I am. (yeah right)

Wow, 6th row...how did you get those seats! Lucky you!!! That should be another fabulous concert!

Veronica - GREAT choices - when are you going to Ohana - I THINK I am going to have to cancel or reschedule my ADRs - I thought our flight was at 2pm - it's actually at 11 - (we haven't booked yet, but that is the one we are hoping for w/the AMEX miles) - it's either 11am or really late at night.. so, I may need to go earlier or cancel.

Oh no! You were so excited to get Ohana. We are going to 'Ohana on the 31st at 9:30am - the kids are not morning people so I went with 9:30 and it will be a special treat for our last day

You all MISSED me didn't you?!?!?!?!?

Yes, we missed you!

IDOL is 80s night tonight - WOO HOO!!!

I'm so happy its 80's night...I think we are all dating ourselves with our musical tastes

How is she feeling?? Could be allergies too ya know?? How are the Mets doing - I have to start checking on them too - I've been so preoccupied!!

She's doing Ok...just has this cough at night/nap and a runny nose. I think it is just a cold that won't go away (although she will probably have allergies like her mommy and brother). Mets are doing well They've won the last few games!
