[DisneyGalUK]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY AARON!

Laura - Good thoughts coming your way

Pakey - Feel better soon

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I forgot all about posting our Valentine's Day plans! I'm pretty excited because I surprised DH on Christmas with tickets for V-Day to see Jeff Dunham. (He is a comedian/ventriliquist - very funny!) So we are going to dinner and to that show!

 

[punkin413]

Tomorrow I get to make my ADRs for Disney Cant Wait for our trip I am so excited it is giving me that motivation to do that extra rep or really go for it in cardio.

What is everyone's VDAY plans!? My husband and I are going to borgata (hotel) in a.c. (atlantic city) and seeing a concert, having dinner should be fun!

good luck on your ADRs!

i know we're weird, but ray and i don't celebrate valentine's day. we never have. there's too much pressure for it to be a good day!!!!!! the one and only time we did it turned into a nightmare and it was no one's fault. anyway, i think hallmark created it just to make gobs of money off people. have fun for those of you who do celebrate it!

i will however accept any chocolate that comes my way due to said holiday. hence my smiley guy below.

You know its been all night wonder what Aaron found more interesting to do on his brithday??? Hmmmmmmmm

The bad news - I'm dreading weighing in tomorrow. I had a Reuben sandwich for lunch, and birthday cake after supper. Not good! (Well, it was very good but not for my diet...)

you're entitled to skip a week for your birthday. i will admit i'm dreading tomorrow too. for some reason my weight isn't going anywhere lately. but i have been exercising a lot this week. i didn't get to today because i had court until 6:30 - fun! my digestive system's been all crazy though since i started counting my calories again. i just started taking these vegetable laxatives that my boss recommended - they're very mild. but i hope they help with that issue and as a result the weight comes off faster!

I go today to get my cyst out. I was supposed to go next thursday but it's getting infected. It went from a chick pea to a walnut in three days so I'm going today. I'm nervous about the navocane (I probably spelled that wrong). I'll let you know what happens later.

hope it went well!

Hi all. Sorry I haven't posted. I've tried to keep up on the reading though. I've been really sick. My white counts remain low so when I get something like the flu, it drags on and on. I have to work each day due to the sexual harrassment/lawsuit claim going on so I'm whipped by the time I get home and head straight to bed.

hope you feel better soon! i know the stress doesn't help either.

We're the same as Dawn and her hubby. We don't go out of our way for Valentines Day. No cards, no chocolate, no flowers. Although, this year we are seeing Disney on Ice at 11:00, and then a play (Our Town) at our local community theater. But those two are purely coincidence. Disney on Ice just happened to be in the area (an hour north of us) this weekend; and we've been getting season tickets for the community theater for 6 or 7 years and this is our normal night to go. So it has nothing to do with February 14.

Good luck tomorrow everybody!

Happy Birthday Aaron! Sorry I'm late....

Laura... I hope everything went well.

Pakey... I hope you feel better soon!


83 Days Until Graduation!

 

[dwheatl]

I am honestly thinking this week is looking good, I started using sheets to track food, water and exercise. Its helping too!

I will start next week in the classroom and guess what I asked to do: walk the wheelchair students around the grounds btw its all up hill both ways!

I see the nurse of one of the students who will not move for anything and I have invited ehr to walk etc nothing she just wants to gripe about her size instead. I don't want to be like that. I am not finding fault only some of my own hidden short comings.

I do so much better when I am tracking. If I write down everything I eat and the exercise, I am very unlikely to cheat. And for the walking around campus, I started using my pedometer, and it makes me more willing to get up and move instead of being lazy and putting things off. I read that the goal for being active is 10,000 steps, and I'm doing 12,000-13,000 on work days. No wonder I come home pooped.
Good for you for getting out and moving. You are so wonderful, you deserve to be healthy.

Hi all. Sorry I haven't posted. I've tried to keep up on the reading though. I've been really sick. !

Hope you feel better soon. Do you take any supplements (like zinc, for example) to boost your immune system? I swear by it.

We don't usually go out on 2/14, but this year is a big deal. Our diocese has a Mass and reception on Valentine's Day for all married couples celebrating 25 or 50 years , and this is our year. Even though our anniversary is not until next December, we get to celebrate now, as they only do this once a year.

Same here. We get cards if we remember!

Weigh-in this week - SAMER.

Ive been a bit 'off-it' this past two weeks, but I have now rejoined WW and am going to the classes so that will hopefully help.

Have a great weigh-in everyone

 

[the Fidge]

Down 2 lbs here!

 

[lovealldisney]

Happy belated BIRTHDAY Aaron!!! I'm glad you had a nice day!

I am down 1.6 this week!

Valentines for us is dinner and a movie! We need a night out. Hubby working crazy hours lately!

Just wanted to say I wish I could be posting more here but I took a new position here at work and it's been crazy busy with training for it!

Have a great weekend everyone! And HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Happy Birthday Aaron!

I have to admit I am SO dissapointed. I was so close to my goal, and this week has actually been the biggest jump for me ever.
I'm up 4.4 pounds!
I can't believe it! I've been stuck between the same 3 pounds for months and I finally broke it and now I'm back to where I started.
Admittedly I've not exercised nearly at all this month, and been crazy stressed. I've not ate very right and the snacks definately did it for me.
I am DETERMINED, I'm going to stop. Starting today.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[LMO429]

Hi Peeps! Good Morning today

I am down 3 pounds

Finally some progress!!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Sorry to be MIA again! I'm not kidding, school is HARD work and hugely time consuming, but I TOTALLY love it!

Ironically, I got a spiffy new laptop, but use it mostly for school (funny how that works). Much, much less time for play! ((which SUCKS))

soooo it's weigh day, eh?

With no thanks to exercise, which I again didn't do, I managed to pull out a whopping -6 pound loss. I realize the loss is just due to eating less this week (still eating "clean") and with the lack of muscle work, fear it's temporary. But a goal is a goal and I'll take it happily!


I reeeally want to get under a certain number (Gayle and Lynda!!!!!!) and am only a little over one pound away from that goal. WHEN will my jean size go down, I wonder. Geeez!

So, my MOTHER is coming to live with us today. UGHHHHH! Maybe some of you with "special" mother's can feel my anxiety and dread. I'm trying to make the best out of this, but it will take the patience of a saint to survive this even marginally. Prayers seriously appreciated, peeps!

 

[UGABelle]

So Peeps I am only -0.2 today - which means I didn't meet my Valentine's Day goal

But, I am still feeling good considering I have worked out about 30 of the 44 days so far this year - which is about how many I worked out TOTAL last year. I'm okay with slow progress - I'm just going to make sure it doesn't go back up!

Nothing major for Valentine's here - we're going to dinner tonight and have rented a bunch of movies to watch this weekend - Disney/Pixar movies And they were actually DH's idea - which if you knew him is quite a surprise! (I'm the Disney lover in the family )

I go today to get my cyst out. I was supposed to go next thursday but it's getting infected. It went from a chick pea to a walnut in three days so I'm going today. I'm nervous about the navocane (I probably spelled that wrong). I'll let you know what happens later.

Hope everything goes well for you

So, my MOTHER is coming to live with us today. UGHHHHH! Maybe some of you with "special" mother's can feel my anxiety and dread. I'm trying to make the best out of this, but it will take the patience of a saint to survive this even marginally. Prayers seriously appreciated, peeps!

I will definitely keep you in my prayers! And congrats on the weight loss - hope it sticks!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'm down 1.2 today, which puts me at 197.8. I didn't make my goal for the challenge, but I really can't complain because I made progress, and that hadn't been happening before so YAY! And if things continue at this pace, I will be where I want to be or nearly there by our May trip! When's the next challenge Aaron? I'm ready!

I reeeally want to get under a certain number (Gayle and Lynda!!!!!!) and am only a little over one pound away from that goal. WHEN will my jean size go down, I wonder. Geeez!

So, my MOTHER is coming to live with us today. UGHHHHH! Maybe some of you with "special" mother's can feel my anxiety and dread. I'm trying to make the best out of this, but it will take the patience of a saint to survive this even marginally. Prayers seriously appreciated, peeps!

Congrats on the loss! I'm glad you are enjoying school...even though we do miss you around here. I'm so proud of you though! You are getting close to that number, huh? I need to work extra hard if I want to do well in our little "competition". Gayle, how are you doing?

 

[ArielSRL]

Doing a flyby cuz I'm at work. I'm a SAMER this week. Wanted to get out and walk but it was conference week...so no time. I've pretty much lived at school this week. Oh and VDay treats all week from the kids and administration doesn't help either!

Looking forward to my date tonight. Whoo hoo!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!

that sounds weird, doesn't it? my dad's getting married today. i told him he was crazy for getting married on friday the 13th but he wanted to. ray and i got married on the 13th but it was a saturday! our first friday the 13th anniversary was in 2007 but nothing bad happened. silly superstitions!

i'm -1 pound today. i didn't reach my goal but i lost 5 pounds (i think) since i jumped back on the wagon so i can't complain!

We don't usually go out on 2/14, but this year is a big deal. Our diocese has a Mass and reception on Valentine's Day for all married couples celebrating 25 or 50 years , and this is our year. Even though our anniversary is not until next December, we get to celebrate now, as they only do this once a year.

happy (early) anniversary!

I have to admit I am SO dissapointed. I was so close to my goal, and this week has actually been the biggest jump for me ever.
I'm up 4.4 pounds!

hang in there! we all have bad weigh-ins. just keep at it and you'll see a huge number sometime soon!

So, my MOTHER is coming to live with us today. UGHHHHH! Maybe some of you with "special" mother's can feel my anxiety and dread. I'm trying to make the best out of this, but it will take the patience of a saint to survive this even marginally. Prayers seriously appreciated, peeps!

what a great number this week! about your mom, i will be thinking about you! i love my mommy but i don't know if i could live with her. is it a permanent situation or something temporary?

Good luck tomorrow everybody!

Another group of non v-day peeps here...we actually have our anniversary (dating anniversary since we are not married yet!) in Feb so we celebrate that instead.


Well i am UP 1 this week...i'm totally fine with it due to being sick, not working out for almost 2 weeks and finally eating again..my stomach is all messed up still so 1 lb from last weeks bigger than usual loss is no big shake..that and AF coming to town in a few days all makes sense.
Back to working out again this weekend though!!!

 

[Pakey]

I'm -3. No surprise there as I've been so sick all week.

And I had no idea it was Friday the 13th. Thanks, Dawn, for letting me know. Considering how this week has gone, I'm not sure I'm up for an official bad luck day. We'll see.

Danielle, I take all kinds of supplements, whatever my oncologist has told me to take. I have to be very careful about what I take as my anti-cancer drug has lots of "issues" with other things. I feel very old every night when I go to the counter that holds all of my bottles of pills.

So, my MOTHER is coming to live with us today. UGHHHHH! Maybe some of you with "special" mother's can feel my anxiety and dread. I'm trying to make the best out of this, but it will take the patience of a saint to survive this even marginally. Prayers seriously appreciated, peeps!

Dear Lord I feel for you! My mum only lives a 5 minute walk from us and its a constant nightmare with her turning up whenever she feels like it (she even barges in when she is walking her dog past to use our rest room!!!!!!). I cannot even think about her living with us without hyperventilating!

I am taking a pass on the scales this week . . . sorry but I am so bloated with AF I can literally pick my tummy up and glug it around!!!!!!!! I have exercised though and been good food-wise (apart from a minor cinnamon bun incident which shall go unmentioned ).

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Too much corned beef on my Rueben, and too much birthday cake led to a 1.4 pound gain this week. So I fell WAY short of my Valentine's Day goal, which is extremely disappointing considering I started the year by losing 2.4 But I've worked out almost every night this year, and I'm recording everything I eat (outside of my once-a-week splurge day). So I just know that I'm going to be seeing some good numbers real soon! (And I can take solace that I've been able to maintain or stay under 165 for almost 9 months now, which is a pretty big accomplishment for me.)

Someone mentioned then next goal date. If we want a shorter challenge, we could do St Patrick's Day (March 17) which would be about 4 weeks if we'd take the previous Friday (March 13), or 5 weeks if we took the following weekend (March 20). Or for a slightly longer challenge, we could do Easter (April 10). That would give us 8 weeks. Any preferences?

Have a great weekend everybody!
