DDA Chapter 4

What's funny is I didn't tell you that I was the same way when I was her age. You see what happens when the metabolism catches up with you! :lmao: I was less than 120 pounds through all of high school and into college. When I married at 20, I was 110 pounds. I'm 5'5". I was down to 145 after more than a year of eating healthier. Unfortunately, I'm back up to 165 right now which is the reason that I'm working on eating healthy and exercising again. I got the eating healthy last time but didn't get into the exercise habit. I'm hoping the exercise habit will make the difference this time. I'd really like to be around 135-140. That is an ok weight for my height according to the health charts.
You're talking about eating healthy and excerising, and I'm sitting here eating chocolate cake and ice cream. Oiy! :rolleyes:
 
I was kind of disappointed at first, at not going to an island..but...if we go to florida, we will have more money to do fun things there-so im pretty excited!

My first choice is June 14-21...i have to check at work tomorrow what day my kiddies' graduation is..I have narrowed it down to 4 places--we are using a timeshare from my grandma--but i know nothing about these places so were still doing resarch

I'm assuming her timeshare doesn't trade in to DVC?

I've heard the Marriotts are supposed to be pretty nice!

He used 6 different cleaning solutions (water, water&soap, water&alcohol, water&bleach, lysol wipe, & lysol antibacterial cleaner). His hypothesis is that the lysol antibacterial cleaner is going to clean the best. Why? Because it's what Mom uses to clean the kitchen. I sure hope there isn't tons of cultures growing in that petri dish!!! :eek: :faint::rolleyes:

This will be interesting!

Oh, I'm sure many of us were. I've gained about 30 lbs. since I graduated high school, but my sweet husband tells me I hide it well. I like to think that my bones have gotten heavier w/ age! :rotfl:

The telling pt. was when I pulled a belt out from the depths of my closet the other day (wore it in college). I couldn't even get the ends to meet around my waist - and I used to wear it on the very smallest hole. :rolleyes:

Here is my worksheet for dining in September/October. What do you think??

If Tutto Italia is closed during our trip we would probably put Coral Reef in its place. At least, that is the plan right now!

We will eat breakfast fairly early and will eat dinners as late as we can make a reservation. As you all know, we are used to eating dinner at 9:00-9:30 anyway because of my teaching schedule.

ETA: For some reason all my snack credits are not showing up on the worksheet here on my screen. But they are on the photobucket picture so I assume you all will see them and when my cookies are gone, so will I!

Looks fabulous! Good work! :thumbsup2

There are wind chill warnings here. It is horrible outside! I mean worse than I ever remember. I sure am glad that I don't have to be out in it for any length of time. Just walking from the car to the store was horrible.

Wow, and I'm sure that is quite something, since you're used to your wintry weather! I hope all of you can stay warm! :hug:

Looks good Elin! I get to call Wednesday and make my ADRs.

Luckily we didn't have the bitter cold to go with the high winds.

That's ok. I had a warm delight with vanilla ice cream last night. However, I did have only one pepsi yesterday and one today. Last time, just the pepsi reduction gave me a 10 pound weight loss in less than 4 weeks.

I hope you can do it again. :wizard: :wizard: I know it's tough. I just don't have the willpower.
 
So I have some weird bite, boil, pimple thing on my left leg where it meets my tush it just appeared today. I also fell down the stairs and my right hip/leg is hurting where I crashed into the wall.:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I guess this is what I get for trying to wash my winter coat and robe.

I dropped my car off at the garage for an oil change, tire rotation, and also because it is making a loud whining noise when I turn.

As for weights I weigh less now then most of Junior high. I know I am an oddity around here. But I still would like to lose 30-40 pounds. As I sit here eating a soft pretzel with caramel sauce.;) :surfweb:

Elin, glad to hear you are OK. The wind is crazy isn't it??:confused3 :confused3 and it is cold to boot.

A few weeks ago it was windy. My office is located near a Playtime Boutique adult store. The office was there many years before lots of stuff was built around it. On this windy day, siding was flying off of the Playtime boutique building. In our office we were trying to figure out how to contact them to let them know it was flying off. We looked it up in the phone book and could not find a phone number. Then they were talking about looking it up online. But were afraid what would happen if they were discovered someone was looking it up online. You never know what else might pop up. Our tech dept., is based out of another office. Eventually we convinced the mail man to tell them as he had stuff to drop off at their location.:3dglasses

I am sitting here watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Very nice!!!!




Did you guys hear that one of the Biergarten CM's died of a heart attack on stage on 1/31? He was only 48, he had been at Biergarten for 24 years and to make the tragedy even worse for his poor family his dad died 3 hours later that same day.:sad1:
 
Dallas isn't a market for Wonder bread. I know this because one of ExMomboss's friends from CA has a DD with the worst milk allergy I have ever heard of, and Wonder bread doen't have milk in it. We don't HAVE Wonder bread around here, so when they came to visit I had the privilege of reading every freaking bread label in the store to find bread that little girl could eat! The Pepperidge Farm whole grain white has high fructose corn syrup in it, so that's out.

We have Wonder in the boonies, so if you ever need it again, let me know.

I am done with Round 1 of the practice recitals. :woohoo:

However, I have a nasty cold developing. :sad2: It came on very fast with a horrible sore throat and chapped lips. Very odd, but I am not at all comfy cozy right now. Talk about the grumpies taking over. That could do very easily happen to me. I need to eat some soup, put on my jammies and climb into bed with my laptop, my DDA friends and my Dining spreadsheet.

I'm so sorry you are starting to feel bad. PD that your intervention tonight works!

I wish I could still do that! That metabolism will unfortunately catch up with her, sooner or later, I'm sure.

Look at it this way - she could be a guy! Then, you'd probably see your bill triple or quadruple!



:hug: :hug:



I feel you, Elin. :hug: I'm having a similar experience myself, today. Don't know if it's the weather that is all over the map (and thus maybe allergies?) or if I have your garden variety cold coming on. Either way, not a fun way to end the weekend, or start off the week! Here's some :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: for all of us not feeling quite up to snuff these days!



:rotfl: :rotfl:

You guys do look great, Deb! :thumbsup2

Lindsay -- I'm so sorry you are feeling under the weather. This weather has certainly been crazy. Flu and viral things are so rampant around here that when anyone says they are sick, we all take a step back. Jake told me the other night -- "I hope I don't get what you have Mommy -- you've been very sick." He was very happy when I told him that bladder infections are not contagious. :rotfl:

Jennifer -- you're pictures are amazing -- especially the first ones.

I had the most fun lunch yesterday with Lindsay and Elizabeth. Thanks ladies! We really do need to do them more often.

E-- I'm blown away that you are actually thinking you'll pack 32 shorts and 32 tops, plus everything else you need. I really need to see a picture of your luggage when you're ready to go. :rotfl: There is no way I'd consider that -- I'd send them out to be cleaned if you're that set on not doing laundry, which would probably be cheaper than the excess luggage charge. I don't mind doing it while there -- it forces me slow down for a while. I always plan on taking it easy, but it never seems to happen. One of my favorite days from the last trip, was when we took time to do laundry, I got to read in the lounge for a while, and the boys and Randy had fun taking pictures and playing at the hotel.

I really am having a hard time with this infection, so I made the decision to stay home last night and miss the Pat Green concert. Instead, I watched TV. The boys spent the night at my brother and SIL's house, so it was quieter around here this morning, and we could take our time getting ready for Church.

I barely made it through Sunday School before I was tired, but we stayed through Church, then I crashed for the afternoon. We met Dad in Rockwall (40 min. away) for dinner at my favorite burger/cheese fry place. I split one with my SIL, but I'll still regret it in the morning when I get on that scale.

I hope everyone gets off to a great week! :)

I had read about this the day after it happened. From what I read, some of his family were in the restaurant working at the same time. There was at least one DISer that was there when it happened and posted some details.

I knew that the CM had died on stage, but not that his father had also died. How very sad. :sad2:
 
Marci - I am sorry that it is taking you so long to get this infection out of your system. BE GONE germs!! :hug:
 
Love the ultra sound pictures Jennifer.

Deb-Love the shirts!

Elin-Hope you don't get sick!

Becky - I hope you aren't too sore tomorrow. Be careful!

Marci - Sorry you missed the concert. Get better!

We had beef stroganoff. Chuck made it tonight. He does an awesome job with it. It used to be something I always made but he made it once and we have decided his always tastes better! :lmao: You would think if you followed the same recipe there wouldn't be a difference but there really is!
