DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[S.Poppins]

Well...apparantly today was NOT a good day to start! 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!

Happy Birthday, Dragonfly!!

I think he would be your DBF?

 

[S.Poppins]

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

Happy Birthday, Dragonfly!!

and do know that Chinese food is full of soy, ie SALT - so you must MUST drink twice as much water!! and expect a weight gain tomorrow of 3#!! YES THREE pounds after one meal - but there's a lot of water in that weight, so grab a lemon squeeze in warm water, and drink to help flush that sodium out of you system... and answer me this...

Do you plan on giving up Chinese food for life? Then think portion control, and damage control. Damage control is drinking water, and lift those weights, do those crunches, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down... get those lunges working!!!

Dragonfly,yes we are chatty but for some reason I think you will fit in just fine.

Mumbler,I agree weekends are much harder.I am going to try to keep busy next weekend and have a cheat free weekend.

UM,I would like to know the calorie count of the muffins also because I am about to eat one. I love to exercise...say it three times fast and it will come true.

Fidge,WE WANT A PICTURE!!Get up the courage and do it for us.Good job on riding that bike.

Eeyore,I love the pics!You are beautiful... I am all over the enhancing my attitude..thanks for the good reads.

Spongemommie,YEAH for your DH!!!I can't guess at the cost because I don't fly but I will supply the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches since that will probably be all that I will be able to afford to eat.

Okay my day so far:
B-2 pieces of toast
S-yogurt
L-lean cuisine and peas(I ate a veggie!! )

Now I am going to do the 20 situps and tonight I am going to the gym.I may do a yoga class.

I do have half a chocolate cake sitting on my counter.I think I will take it to Dragonfly since she gets a freebie day.

Do try this site: http://www.farereport.com/

and if you can wait, download Ding, but with Southwest and Ding, the Ding fares are lower, but the times are yucky, so you spend less time on "vacation".

I have to be honest, its easier said than done... when I try and wrap my brain around the reality of Jan 10, 2008 in WDW.. I get clammy... what if?

and yet, I am so doing this!!

I think edit messes up my links but, I hear the too chatty, and I know I'm guilty...

Just wanted to add I checked mousesavers.com and according to 2007 dates :
Value Resorts
All-Star Movies
All-Star Music
All-Star Sports
Pop Century

Value Season: January 1 - February 14, August 5 - October 3, November 25 - December 19

With Pop Standard view at $82 a night. We stayed at pop one night, and if its saving money, I'm there!!

I also realized that I signed up to work weekends, from the Budget Board, I have 4 checks waiting, I can start my Disneyfund!! (I'm one of those people at Super Target, grocery store handing out samples!! $70 for 11-4 work!!)

 

[dismom9761]

I stayed at POP and it is very nice.Harley and I were talking about staying at ASMusic just because we have never stayed there but I don't really care.I think it would be fun to stay at the same resort as everyone.

Hey I have some (hopefully) motivational good news for those stay-the-samers and slight gainers.

I was reading the Parade magnazine that comes with the Sunday paper and wouldn't you know it was all about getting fit and one of the suggestions/things to do was to not just weigh yourself but MEASURE yourself as well. It specifically said that you may not be losing weight because you are replacing fat with muscle and it weighs more, but if you MEASURE yourself you are still likely to see results!!!

I know there were several of you this week that tried hard, but didn't see the scale move so get out your tape measures and start measuring your waist and hips, especially if you are exercising regularly.

I really hope this helps!!!!!! Keep up the good work!

I dont know the calorie count of the magic muffins.

They are 1 point, the same as 2 lifesavers. The high fiber count erases some points. Just put 50?

Misty, I dont know the approximate cost. The airfare is the biggie. We can play with the numbers and guess a little higher. Is your princess going too? We could get 1 room somewhere. I know there wont be free dining so we'll have to budget for meals as cheap as possible. I can wait to do the Cinderella Royal Table for when there's free dining. I have to do alot of homework to determine the cost of a room at a value resort saving car rental fees. And off site with car rental. I'm most comfortable with on site because it's so easy to get lost there.

Where are you guys booking? Pop? That's where I'd like to go.The 80's section??? A grand gathering sounds great! I like perks. Uggg, we have to save BIG money before then.

Mine is May 29

How much gas does this soup produce?

it's a small price to pay Maybe we need to add beans and broccoli and stay away from open flames

POP is fine with me and Harley. Aries said she could help figure cheap air...if we all work together all things are possible...

See it happened AGAIN!! I typed that word quote in all caps, but it prints in small letters!!

Trying to post pics, it only posted a link, I dont want the link, I want the pics!!

I am so techy challenged!!

and

I did exercise today UTM!! In front of the tv, but I did it!!

Wow! You've got great legs!!!!

 

[aries1980]

im making the muffins tonight so I will see if I can calculate it out for you all.


Dont worry UM I see Jetblue Flys outta Utah and I believe that airport is only 15 mins from you I can almost guarentee you a very good airfare.

 

[eeyore45]

I'm trying to register for the Discovery Health Challenge... waiting for each page to load takes sooooooo long!! eesh...

Meanwhile... DD is unloading the dishwasher!! She just got home from school, first day back!! (she wants something, you just know it...) btw I did warn her to watch for socks and .... other things!! (who knew unloading the dishwasher could be so much fun!!)

You know I could think of some cute cheap (Budget Board) treats (non food) to add to everybody's room - we did this at one meet, it was fun, one lady from Texas brought kerchiefs with Texas logo on them, one lady from California brought (well never mind... Seas Candy) I brought Roses, and a map of Chicago and things to do for each room...

Tickets to the park... I love the Dining Plan... Epcot... I know there was a ladies meet at Pop at the Dismeet section, and they sure had a blast!! I know lots of the Maestromers met and had a hoot - all going down Splash Mountain, and the Viking ship...etc... Pop has a great transportation system, and their food court is AWESOME - much better than POR, or WL imho!!

 

[IWantMyDVC]

Just checking in with everyone - back to WW tomorrow - I hope I lost SOMETHING!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Ooooh! Goodie Bags!!!!

Aries- I didnt think JetBlue flew directly to Florida. I'll check again, though. I COULD fly with Delta buddy Passes for about $180 a piece. But that's risky to try to fly stand by with a toddler diva.

edited to add, JB does go to Orlando but they first stop in NEW YORK! EEEK. I also checked Delta flights as far as how oversold the flights are to see if a buddy pass (stand by ) would be good for this time of year ...nope. They are oversold by at least 2 on allll flights coming and going (I saw one oversold by 21!) It's best to do a direct flight unless it's ridiculously cheaper. I even checked Amtrack...3 days to get there and 3 days to return! Get off train wave in the general direction of Disney and get right back on.

I've kicked it up a notch and it feels good !! Went to the gym with DH on Saturday and did the elliptical for 15 minutes and treadmill for another 15 . . . even managed to jog a few intervals!!

Also took the stairs at work today, that's a grand total of 125 steps !! No more elevators for me.

Sandy: Since I'm skipping kickboxing for the big game tonight, I'm gonna do those 100 sit ups during the loooong commercial breaks . . . maybe I'll get in more than 100!!

GO BUCKS!!

Any other Ohioans out there?? OH - Gimme an IO!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Here's another tip, in addition to firming those legs, getting some cardio going... IT DRIVES YOUR KIDS CRAZY!!

During a commercial, or if I'm bored... last night I started to march and then leg lift - right knee to left elbow... and it takes me awhile to figure that out!! but, I so need to work in exercise... I HATE it!!

SHULA you got 30 min of cardio in!!! (I'm a Hoosier!! Go Ball State!! )

I'm going to make this work!!
