QOTD 10/4: What is your dream job/career? Really, no matter how out there it is!
after I had to go to the nurse at Typhoon Lagoon, I thought one day I'd like to be a nurse in WDW. Maybe one day, you never know.
[DQOTD: Do you have any Disney soundtracks or CDs that you listen to? They can be from theme parks or movies.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
I have Country sings the best of disney, and Disney's beach party cds in my car. I always look at the cd's in disney but never end up buying one with the songs from the parks. I guess I could buy some songs from itunes and put them on ds's ipod. He wants an ipod touch so if I get him one for his b-day/christmas, i'll inherit his ipod.
I know that some people were feeling a little discouraged at their numbers, but really, any progress is GREAT!

Congratulation everyone!! Great losses this week!!
Thank you satorifound for tracking the WIN this challenge.
I'm on track for my big goals but just barely. Need to work a little harder to ensure those dreams come true!
You can do it, Lisa!!!
Anyway, as you can probably guess from my lack of posting, I have not been on plan. Today WILL be a good day. I made some GF bread last night and am looking forward to a well-rounded lunch. I even bought some cheese I can eat and will have some for lunch. I had it yesterday, but not on bread. Good, but not great. I think there's something about deli meat and cheese that screams bread to me. Plus, my body needs a good amount of carbs and I haven't been having enough.
I'm feeling the same way, not horrible, but not great, so just kinda hanging in the maintaining mode. I need to get moving. I am doing some hh, and will definitely get the exercise in this week. Here's to a good day today!!!
I'm pulling out all the Halloween decorations. I love decorating for holidays!
Maria
I did that on saturday!! I love decorating for the holidays too.
kathy--Yesterday I watched The Time Traveler's Wife on TV. It was soooo good!
Glad to hear you liked it. I've heard mixed reviews.
They're both still kind of confusing to me, and I can't actually think about the time travel too much because then I just get all mixed up in my head.
I hope by reading the book, I won't be as confused for the movie. I feel that way about the pirates movies. When #4 comes out, I want to buy them for ds for christmas, and watch all of them again, and figure out who's dead and who's alive.
QOTD: On busy days like today, how do you go about keeping your eating and exercise on track? What are some ways you could incorporate healthy strategies in, if you don't already?
Planning ahead, having a plan of what to cook on the days we're home, with leftovers for the days we have football makes a big difference. For exercise, I do better if I plan to get up and do some wii fit, or plan to run after ds gets on the bus. But if I don't make a definite plan, it's too easy not to do it.
One week from today we will be spending the morning at Stormalong Bay
love
, heading over the Wilderness Lodge for lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe, and then spending the late afternoon through midnight at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I hear the party is super crowded lately due to the Fantasyland expansion taking up a lot of walking space, so:
What are you most and/or least excited for that is coming with the new Fantasyland Expansion?
Here's an article about it if you have no idea what I'm talking about. http://www.**************.net/2011/...ld-expansion-emerge-from-imagineer-interview/
I'll be back shortly with my own answers and replies![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
I'll have to check out that article later, but i've heard there will be a second Dumbo, so that will be nice. I hate waiting too long for dumbo, and often we skip it because of the line.
We went to the Fair today in the not so great weather. But, with bad weather comes smaller crowds which was nice
We went to the fair last night, and got rained on, but it wasn't too bad. We had fun, and I didn't do too badly, had a bite of michael's corn dog, we split a cheeseburger, and split an apple crisp, and had one apple cider donut. We stayed away from the deep fried twinkies and oreos.
Thanks for the encouragement, and CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your half, and for finishing it faster than your last! Unexpected PB! Haha. Do you have a next race planned? For myself, I would love for it to be a Disney race, but I don't think we'd be able to afford that next year and there are good races in the New York City area, so probably not. I'm thinking about the Manhattan half marathon in Central Park in January-- New York Road Runners does a half marathon series in each borough of the city throughout the year, and it's nice to be able to train on the exact path you'll be running (the Central Park loop). My first 1/2 was about a year ago in Central Park, and I loved it. They also organize nicely, with frequent water/Gatorade/gel stations and a clock at every mile. I remember when I ran my second 1/2 in New Haven, which was a much more professionally organized ING race, I just assumed I'd see a clock every mile, and when I didn't it really threw me off! BUT one day I hope I'll get to run WDW as my first marathon! That's the whole reason I got into running last year, and even though it didn't happen exactly as planned, I hope it'll happen, maybe in 2013. Just remembering what you said--if you set your mind to it and put your heart into it, you can do it!
Central park is so beautiful, it must be amazing to run through. We spent one afternoon there, walked around for a long time, and when we looked at the map we hadn't even seen 1/6th of the park. I have a 5k on thanksgiving, but no longer race plans. Though my goal is to do another half in disney in 2014 for my 50th b-day. I'd like to do the january half and cheer on the full, but we'll see what happens. The disney marathon will be a fantastic motivator for you to continue your traiing.
PamelaLooks like the rain is headed your way. Hope it's not too bad for you. Nice work on the scrapbooking. I want to get some scrapping done once football ends. We spend about 8 hours each week total for practice and games, so if I even dedicated 2 hours a week to scrap, I could get so much done.
Tracey- It's so hard. Hang in there.
Good morning, losers!! Rainy day here, but it seems to be stopping. My yard is flooded, and the water has been pouring over my bulkhead threshold into the basement, stressing me out. I have a sump pump that's working overtime, but I'm very happy the rain is stopping. I was cranky with ds when he was not ready for school, but luckily the bus was late so we weren't fighting when he left.
Need to get back to tracking today. Lost it on sunday, but am starting fresh again.
Happy Birthday Nancy!!
Have a great day everyone!!
We have breakfast scheduled at Cape May Cafe and will then spend a few hours at Downtown Disney before Magical Express picks us up, probably around 4pm. 
That makes for a long, miserable evening with that much homework night after night. 
Always nice to make exercise a family affair! 
The first went out of business, the second lied about the benefit package and my current job which is going well. It was certainly an adjustment and requires a lot of juggling. My dh and kids have been great with it. My kids are a bit older so daycare hasn't been an issue as the older kids watch the younger one, or maybe the younger one watches the older ones? Good luck.
