Back from MK-pic of me and DH!

[Beastlover]

Good Morning WISHers!! I wanted to post to fill you in on our recent trip to WDW!! We went down 'cuz DH had a convention, so all our expenses were getting me down there! We left the kids at home and spent 6 days at WDW!! (not including the time DH spent at convention-those times I spent at the pool!) In my post, is a picture taken of us when we got to the MK on Sunday 6/14. I just love this shot of us!! (BTW: that's me down 55 pounds, and DH down 30!-On Atkins!!)
We had a wonderful time, and eating low carb was relatively simple. I have to admit, Disney's burgers are kinda dry without the bun. I think a table service restaurant gives you a better burger no bun, though!
Our last night we were at Epcot, walked to the Boardwalk and ate at some brewery place (argh! I forgot the name!) He had a MONSTER cheeseburger (also no bun) and I had the Chicken alfredo pasta primavera, no pasta. YUM! We then headed over to Epcot, and splurged on desert. Mind you, it has been a year since starting atkins, and this was our FIRST fully-leaded desert! He went for the apple pie ala mode in America and I trotted to the funnel cake stand for a funnel cake with cherries on top. I have to say, it was not that good. The cake seemed to be old, kinda crunchy in places, and the cherries were too heavy. DH loved his pie, though! We decided when we go in Oct, we will splurge at Rainforest Cafe for a VOLCANO!!!
All in all, we had a great time, I can't believe how much better I get around in the heat & humidity without the extra 55 pounds on me. My mood and endurance was wonderful!!
Bad news though: I gained 6 pounds. Not bad, I've lost 3 already...they were worth it!!

Wow, you look sensational!! It sounds like you had an ideal time at WDW -- who do I need to talk to about getting my DH sent to a convention there? Does it need to be his own company, or can we just muscle in on someone else's plans?

Pity that the funnel cake was disappointing, but on the other hand, it should keep you from being tempted by other sweets. The volcano sounds like a terrific thing to look forward to, though!

Congratulations on staying so successfully on plan!

Congrats, you look fabulous and how fun to escape to MK with no children! Sometimes desserts are worth it, just as long as you get back on track. It is so motivating to see posts like yours, so I can know there is life at goal! Thanks

you look mahhhhvaaalous!!!! i love the tinkerbell!! my DD would just LOVE that! must do that!

it's it such a revelation to realize so much of the junk we used to just eat because, well just because; just doesn't taste near as good once you detox all that nasty stuff out of your system! i have 'splurged' on something to just think "ack! that wasn't worth it!"

i'm so happy for you and proud of you both! great to hear you had a fabulous time!

You both look great! Congrats on staying OP. I am going to as much as I want. I know I will go to Beaches n Cream and have a few bites of the Mud Slide and then another day to Canada for a Beaver Tail, but other than that I plan on staying OP. Glad you had a great time.The brewery on the Boardwalk is called Big River Grille and Brewery (I think).

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL!! So glad to hear that staying on Atkins was pretty easy at WDW as we are going in alittle over 1 week and want to try VERY HARD to stay OP!


Again that is a wonderful picture of you and your DH - you make a very attractive couple!

Michelle - you and your husband look fantastic! And so happy I might add. Congrats on staying OP at Disney that is not an easy acccomplishment!

That sounds so good..........just the two of you. My DH and I did that about 8 years ago when we only had two children (but they were small). WE HAD THE BEST TIME!! WDW is DEFINATELY FOR COUPLES, TOO!

I can't wait for the next time we go to WDW and I have a good chunk off of my body. It will be interesting to see how I do also, with the heat and humidity. I usually "glo" something terrible.

Good going staying OP. Lookin' good sweetie!!
