DDA Chapter 17

[Tammi67]

which week is it? I don't know if your kids get out of school the same week as yours?

It would be June 21-28.

So how is everyone doing on their diets? There was lots of chatter in the beginning, but not so much now. I'm hoping that everyone is sticking to it and having great success. Chris and I are staying on track. Chris has lost 11 lbs and me just 3, but that is 3 less than I started with

I am doing well. I have also lost 3 pounds at this point. I figure I'm building muscle so I'm not worried about that. I have to run 7 miles tomorrow. It was scheduled for today but we were gone all day to my MIL's. Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day so I switched them around. I have not missed any of my exercise.

Our kids get out on the 17th so we are out by then. I just don't know what are summer plans are yet. It is a very tempting offer though. I wonder if anyone else is available?

Vicki - I'm impressed that you are sticking to your exercise program. Kudos to you. Congrats on your 3 lbs to both you and Deb!

Wow, I'm impressed. Exercise is my nemesis

 

[my3princes]

Vicki how are your summer plans shaping up? Any dates yet?

I have to admit that it is the first time in my life that I have ever maintained an exercise routine that wasn't part of sports training (while in high school). I have been faithful to the Marathoning to Mortals training routine. I think this is the 2nd time that I've switched an exercise day with a rest day but otherwise, I have done every minute as planned. Every time when I get started, I wonder if I'll be able to run, walk, ride the whole way but so far I get myself through to the end.

Janet, yay for Europe!!

Tom, the dresses are just beautiful. And so is Leighanna!

Marci, loving your trip report

Elizabeth, good luck on the house. I would have the seller pay my penalty. In this housing market, if you can qualify for a mortgage, you can pretty much write your ticket.

Vicki, that is so scary. So glad you are okay.

Well, we built a fire and my DD thought she had the flue open. Hmmmm, no. So we had to open the front door in this 6 degree weather to air out the house. And the fire alarm keeps going off.

But now it is so nice.

Steffy, thanks so much for this wonderful post to ditto.

Deb and Vicki- Congrats on your weight loss.


I am plugging along. By my scale at home I am down another 3lbs since Wednesday. I am down, since the beginning of November, about 17lbs. I have been consistently working out every morning, M-F. I would like to be down another 25lbs by the end of April and in order to make my Weight Watchers goal will need to lose 34lbs. I think that by breaking it up will not make it so daunting.

You go girl That is awesome I'm glad that you are able to diet and exercise. That is a winning plan

Thanks!! I just need to keep at it. My biggest problem is that I will go gung ho for a while and then just get bored. I think though that by going to the meetings is what will keep me on track.

Kelli - DS plays drums. We just started hemming and hawing about moving to a different neighborhood where DS would be in the zone to go to a high school with a really strong band and drum line. We'll see how it goes. The high school he would go to if we stay where we are does NOT have a strong band program at all. The middle school band director told DS he could be section leader in high school, but knowing how weak the high school band is, that isn't really a big compliment!

Hi Kelli. It has been way too long. I'm sorry that you've been dealing with computer issues. Some of us had issues with a nasty facebook virus. I had to restore our desktop to factory setting A trip to Disney would be wonderful, but we won't be going until 2010. We're saving our points and money

Oooh a facebook virus? Yikes! I have a facebook if anyone wants to add me. kellim@gmail.com

Hi Kelli,,,good to see you. Keep coming when you can. Yes life does get in the way!!!

Hope Kaelyn heals quickly. Those kids do keep growing, don't they?

Hope you can still do WDW.

Kelly - it's great to see you!

Hi, Kelli!

Hi Kelli, good to hear from you!

Hi Kelli!

hi kelli

Hi all!

Some camera that has weather seals so he can take it out in the rain. I think it is an older model Olympus. He will have to buy it secondhand because there is no such thing as a new one.

I think Craig's trying to bribe me from wanting to go to WDW by telling me to find out how much the camera I want will be (I want a Canon 40d) Silly man....I will find a way to have both.

 

[Tammi67]

Robyn, that is excellent!!! Especially losing weight with the holidays in there. Keep it up!!!

It would be June 21-28.

Ah. Much later in June than my days off.
Of course, if we are moving to some sort of alternate dwelling on July 1 I shouldn't make travel plans for late June whether i have days off or not!

You go girl That is awesome I'm glad that you are able to diet and exercise. That is a winning plan

Robyn, Vicki, and Deb - Great job on the healthy lifestyle changes!

I discovered today that ice cream flavored Jelly Belly candy is gross, so my healthy change for the week will be to not eat the rest of the bag!

Riley has finally decided to try out his new bed. I guess he needed to warm up to it. He looks pretty happy now.

Hi Kelli!!

Hope that works out for you!!!

LOL Thanks!!

Kelli - You have to have a good camera to take pics at WDW. You have to go to WDW so you will have something good to take pics of.

Deb - He looks pretty cozy!

Chris and I are going through our winter blues. usually we are planning a summer vacation by now. We will most likely go to Hershey, but ticket prices haven't been released yet and until we do our taxes we don't know where we stand financially. I really need something to be planning for.

Deb, sorry you and Chris are going through the winter blues. I also have no trips planned for this year.

I do not know what price Hershey ticket prices will be. However since I have a season pass, I do have coupons for 2009 to bring a friend for $30.95. I am not sure how many can use at one time though.

It would be June 21-28.

Hmm, I may be interested but I am also contemplating going to Ohio to meet Janet and Chanon that same week. Although there had also been talk of something in Boston around the 4th of July.

Good job Vicki and Robyn.

Up until yesterday I had been doing great. I got a bit derailed due to unplanned schedule changes. Tomorrow I am back on board. I need to fit in some exercise yet today. Although I did some already it was not half an hour's worth.

I had been down one pound Monday, but who knows since I got thrown off the wagon.

Has anyone else gotten a 25% off coupon for one item at Barnes and Noble from Disney Visa?

I like the way you think!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I like the way you think!!

I don't take pics, but that is DH's line of reasoning. I have been extremely tolerant of this little hobby of his so far. I really don't think he needs a third camera, but if he is willing to get rid of other stuff to pay for the camera then he can do whatever he wants. Those rifles take up space in the closet so it will be good to get rid of them!
