I don't have just one favorite movie, so here are a few that I love that come to mind.
-The Sound of Music
-Beauty and the Beast
-The Lion King
-Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
-Enchanted
-27 Dresses
I loved Enchanted too. I rented it on On demand one night after ds went to bed, thinking he wouldn't like it, but after I saw it, i figured he would, so we recently watched it together, and he did love it too.
My scale showed another .5 down today
So, my week of eating VERY carefully did pay off after all with a total of one pound loss - I'm happy with that, that is good for me at this stage/age!
However, it is still weight that I put back on at the end of June and I need to lose one more pound to be back to my lowest of this challenge. Yesterday and today I walked 3 miles and that's just all I feel like doing for exercise. Will try to get into the Y Sunday or Monday.
congrats on the loss in your stressful week, that's a huge success.
My favorite series would have to be the POTC 1-4...except for 3. That one was way too long and convoluted and hard to follow. I REALLY didn't like it at all, even though I did cry in the theatre when (SPOILER ALERT!) Will died. My second favorite series would definitely be TS. I love Buzz and Woody!
They are great movies. Ds was finally ready for them, and we just watched the second movie today and will get the 3rd on wed from netflix. I just looked to see if #4 was still in theaters, but it's not. Bummer. Maybe it will come to one of the smaller theaters around here.
I have hope for the new trainer - he's a nice kid and I overheard him say to another trainer that if he wanted to be successful and help people that he needs to focus on what his clients need.
I gotta want it, write it down and make it happen.
That comment by the trainer sounds promising. Love your quote. We all want it, and we all can make it happen.
Just wanted to say that I took my measurements today and I was very pleased with the results: I've lost 5.5 inches total since the challenge started, with the majority of that being from my waist (4.75 inches!
). I lost a little bit from everywhere else for the first time, but my arms are somehow still .5 inch bigger than when we started, though less than 3 weeks ago.
Nice loss of inches!!
We are off to Harry Potter in about 30 minutes. We will have to stand in line for at least an hour for seats if we want to sit together. I'm so excited! I had better go and get my tissues to put in my bag!
How did you and the girls like the movie? I'm hoping michael will be interested in reading the books some day soon and we can read them together.
On another note... I made it to the gym today. Yay! LOL The gym definitely helps the pounds come off quicker. Now I am hot and pooped so I am relaxing enjoying a BIG glass of water.
Nice job getting to the gym!!
I'm at 9mth pp and I still have 30lbs to get back to my pre-baby weight
Welcome to the challenge. Like Rose said, ask any questions, and tell us a little about yourself. Congrats on your son! 9 months is such a fun age.
Thanks for all the congrats and support!
I saw a great number on the scale this week and I am very happy.
I am less than 1/2 a pound from my starting weight at WW too!
I am hoping for another good loss this week.
My big plan for tomorrow is to work on the basement. I am planning to have a garage sale in a few weeks and I need to start organizing by price. My sister is going to help me. I'm thinking my mom will too, especially since she is the one who wants the basement much less covered in stuff we don't need. I don't mind parting with it, but I'd keep it if it wasn't taking up lots and LOTS of space.
So happy you're doing so well, CC. I haven't been posting here as much as I would like either. Busy summer, flying by so fast. But bringing you closer to your disney trip!! How many days? Hope the basement cleaning went well.
Welcome! Pm donac your starting weight. Regular weigh in days are Fridays. Read the first page of this thread and let us know if you have any questions.
You are welcome to jump in and introduce yourself or answer any of the Questions of the day.
Thanks, Rose.
Been working on painting the house. It is all prep work and it is slow but I keep telling myself that it needs to be done. I am also worried that it is supposed to get really hot this week. When it is too hot we can't paint because it takes too much out of us and the paint dries too fast. .
I am always so impressed with all you do. It does look like a hot week ahead all around. But when I'm sweating, i'm going to think about Connie since I just saw 110 degrees in phoenix on the weather map.
Sunday 7/17/11 qotd- What are your favorite summer fruits and summer vegetables. Do you have any special fruits or vegies that are native to your area that you love?
I love fresh tomatoes and corn on the cob. Berries when they are fresh are great too, but I missed the local strawberries in june this year. We were going to stop at the "vegetable truck" on the way home from my sisters camp that's always parked on rte 16 as we leave her area, but it wasn't open. I was bummed.
Been a little MIA lately due to a visit from a stomach virus but I am feeling much better now.
The number one positive change I've made this challenge is kicking the Diet Coke habit. This is a biggie for me because I consume an awful lot of the stuff. The first week was a bit bad but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I still do caffeine and I had several regular sodas to get me over the hump but actually water tastes the best. I haven't noticed any change in the number on the scale but I do feel better so that is a plus.
Glad you're feeling better, Lisa. That's great you've kicked the diet coke habit. It isn't easy to do.
My Dad was released to go home yesterday. He needs to eat heart healthy food and he was told to weigh himself every day. He was not told to lose any weight but he was told to take immediate action if the scale goes up by 3pounds and to make a Dr appt if it goes up by 5 lbs. I thought that was interesting. I hope my Mom heard that right. I'm going out to buy them a scale today and I will research some heart healthy recipies and make them some food for the week. Enjoy your Sunday!
Glad to hear your Dad is doing well and able to come home. Hopefully the confusion will improve when he's comfortable in his own home. Usually when they are watching the weight so closely, they're concerned with any fluid building up too quickly, and maybe that's why they want him to keep an eye on his weight. Glad to hear it was a viral infection and not something more serious, though that is serious enough. Hope he's back to himself soon. And a big hug for you and all you're dealing with, with the sister too.
I think you might need some beergaritas.
She will probably have to have surgery on her wrist but we will know more tomorrow. My aunt, Mom's youngest sister, will be arriving on Thursday for a visit. She is a minister and a very calm person so hopefully she will be able to help with Mom. My poor sister is at her wit's end right now. I don't know when I will have to go down. I am supposed to run a 5K at the end of September so hopefully it won't conflict with that. We may be packing up their house and putting stuff in storage and renting out their house. That's the best thing at least for now. It is not safe for them to be living alone. My dad is having a lot of issues with his legs but I'm sure a lot of it is the stress of taking care of my mom. He slept well last night and felt pretty good this morning.
Sending prayers and good wishes your way. It's so hard to be far away, and it's so hard for your sister to be taking the brunt of it all. Hang in there.
Mikamah - I'm almost positive we can work in that day at Magic Kingdom while we are down. This trip originally was our house hunting trip so we were going to be pretty busy. However, now with that not being the case I'm sure we can squeeze in some Disney fun
.
I've had like 5 people ask me "Oh well you'll live so close to Disney now are you keeping your DVC?" Uh yeah definately! Then they just give me this really weird look
. Why would I get rid of something that is already paid for?
Yay for a MK day!! I can't imagine I'd sell my dvc either if i was in your boat. It just makes for an easier trip to get to wdw for your vacation.
Good evening. We had a fun weekend in NH. There was a 10 yo boy next door that ds hung out with most of the weekend, biking, fishing, and playing ladder ball. We did smores, and beergaritas, which while they don't necessarily go well together, you can easily space them out over the evening and indulge a little too much if you try.
Oh well, I did take a walk this morning, and though I didn't journal while away, started once we got home.
I'm just doing laundry, and think I'll go to bed early. Off to get ds in the shower.
Have a nice evening.
Pirates is a very close second there. I love the Toy Story movies and any Pixar really, too.
Adlergray!
Actually I am a big fan of bruschetta too, yum.
Colin Firth too, Pride & Predjudice and Bridget Jones' Diary!
Though he did have a lot of gas tonight, so maybe he ate more than I thought 
Yesterday was Saturday? 
Rumor has it I'm going to be travelling a LOT more for work very soon, and that's ok, I guess, but it's the no-notice/bad information thing that's messing with me.
