NSalz is giving blood today. Is that cheating ?

I wonder if their are any blood drives around here Friday morning before weigh in... what a great way to lose a quick pound!

I'm going to see if I can make time to get over to the blood drive and give a pint!

If I go.. and go alone.. I am your girl
I do snore.. but, I quit smoking and if I drop 100 pounds by next january.. maybe I wont snore no more..no more

Snoring doesn't bother me! I am used to DH!!

I was looking to get an idea of prices and for this year at the POP, with airfare from Buffalo, and park passes (not hopper) it was about $750. (For 1 person) If it's about the same next year, I may be able to pull it off!

DS 21 and his gf had a "fight" so I may be drivin down to Champaigne Friday!! One day at a time!!

OK, I am in the process of catching up, but I just have to say sorry to hear they had a fight, and it is really bizarre to hear someone here on the DIS say they may be driving down to Champaign!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Maybe we should get dressed first

WHY?!?

 

[UtahMama]

Sandy!!!! Your photos are just beautiful! I love your lashes in the fairy Godmother picture!

I'm off to un-decorate my Christmas tree. I'm sure I'll have 10 pages again to wade through! So, I'm just marking my spot!!!!

What are the dates of the marathon weekend?

 

[pixie dust 112]

WHY?!?

ASk Monica!

 

[DisneyObsession]

ASk Monica!

Okay, I don't usually DIS on the weekends so now I'm 10 pages behind I'm just going to jump back in here since I don't have time to catch up.

Melinda: My birthday is April 27th, I'll be 35 this year, although my older sister says she's still 29 so maybe I'm only 26?

PrincessV: I was thinking about your AF problems this weekend and I was thinking if the OB/GYN can't help maybe you should consider an endocrinologist (maybe you already see one for your thyroid problems?) Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.

The weekends are by far and away my most difficult times as far as will power. During the week I'm at work so even if I want to snack I can't, but on the weekends I'm home and there's a whole pantry taunting me! I did okay over the weekend but I'm ready to go all out this week!

when happens, taking care of myself is one of the few ways I still have some control.

First of all... Love the "pooh"! DH and I always run around WDW saying things like, "Oh, look! Viking Pooh!" when we see Winnie the Pooh beanies or stuffed animals. Then the other one always responds with, "EWWWWWWW!" to which the original Pooh-spotter always says, "Winnie the!" We are easily amused.

Secondly...I LOVE this statement! This is exactly what I have been telling myself for the past few days!

I am trying to get up the courage to ask DH to take a photo of the NOW jsut holding my breath.

OK so I was very lumpy this weekend. Took down decorations and didn't pack them yet. Survived the football game last night DH is a big Giants fan and the poor thing said this am he felt sick. Awe poor babe of mine! Now DH has to cheer on my Saints next weekend hahahaha shh no one tell him I snickered!

Ok so I rode exercise bicycle for 30 minutes this am and my butt hurts they just don't make wide eough seats! Kmart has a treadmill and some other equipment on sale will check today if they still have lay aways as Walmary does not want my Christmas business any longer when they did away with their lay away! Grrrr

I saw a ton of calorie counter things online and recall someone pposted one here and just do not have the time to through all the pages..looking for a good one please??

OK ladies have fun today and yes I am off to drink on of my yummmy glasses of H20 now and do 20 situps!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Bee - I would like to point out to you that not only can you do this and that making small goals is so the way to go, but we will all still be here! I have no intentions of going away once I do reach my total goal (a total of roughly 70, but I am starting with 30). I will still need to maintain, and besides, I can't imagine leaving this wonderful group! I am sure that after reaching all of our goals, there will be no better way of maintaining than to just keep encouraging each other like we do now.

ASk Monica!

So I"m surfin the WWW, and what do I come across on the WW boards?

Top Ten Attitude Enhancers

(and amazing I think we've got them nailed all on our peepdom!!)

Celebrate the here and now.
As long as you're committed to your plan today, you're succeeding because you're taking charge of your life. Focusing on goals that are far in the future can sap motivation.


Change your language.
Keller suggests scratching negative phrases from your vocabulary. Instead of saying "No," "I can't" or "I'll try," substitute the positive. Say: "Yes!" "I can" and "I will."


Create visual inspiration.
Find a photo of yourself before you started your weight-loss plan. Tack it on the refrigerator, a bedroom or bathroom mirror or inside the food cupboard. As you reach new goals, take new pictures, visually marking your progress.


Weigh in.
Weigh in at your weekly meeting, and keep a chart of the results. Look at your overall progress and visualize that chart whenever you're tempted by less-than-healthy choices.


Believe in buddy power.
Exercising with friends is always more fun. Schedule days to meet with your buddy, and if one of you tries to bow out, act as the other's conscience. Find someone to work out with on Weight Watchers Fitness Challenge board.


Steer clear of sabotage.
Avoid people who put you down for trying to lose weight, or who encourage you to eat too much. Often these folks feel threatened by your weight loss.


Set mini goals.
Start with aiming to lose 10 percent of your body weight. "By setting realistic goals, you're more likely to reach them, feel successful and move on from there," says Keller.


Reward yourself.
When you've reached a goal (and remember to keep them small), you deserve a treat. Buy a new outfit, small piece of jewelry, a book or a diary, or take yourself to a play or movie.


Keep reminders in plain sight.
Treadmills, bicycles, weights, even sneakers and exercise outfits should be left where you can see them. Don't store your exercise gear under the bed or in the basement. That will only hide the fact that you need to exercise.


Read success stories.
Inspiration often comes from reading about the way others have found success. Just think: "One day the story is going to be mine!"

I was all bummed out at lunch 'cause Birthday's are one of those "miss my mama and daddy more that usual" days...and then my boyfriend (would I call him my DB?) couldn't go to lunch with me, so I went to the mall and got Chinese food and ate the whole big bunch of it and now I feel like I need to go puke!

Guess I'm skipping dinner...

and someone tell me how in the world I am supposed to keep up with 5+ pages of chatting per day...and the day is only half over!!! Lordy women love to talk, don't we!

WOW! Aren't we Chatty Patty's?

Way to go Nsalz! Happy first day to you! Actually, I think you look skinier to me already! Same with you, Dragonfly! Welcome!!!

I am just so inspired after catching up.

I'm hoping I can convince Spongie to do a girl only trip in Jan. The airfare from here to Orlando is the hard part. I wont drive. Southwest doesn't quote this far in advance.

So, my diet du jour is Weight Watchers with a VERY SB twist. I finally got my slider to print. Got my 32 oz. WW mug filled with delicious Crystal Lite (to be filled 4 MORE times).

I am SO accountable! Today is NO EXCUSES day! If you are PARALIZED from the waist down, do your arms, shoulders and back! Exercise ROCKS!!!!headache
