Awesome! that was our original plan to stop in Vegas for a couple of days first and then we had the same schedule for our honeymoon

We decided against the stop off in vegas first and just sucked it up and went to Maui. the flights were not as bad as we thought they were going to be, I took ambien and slept 8 of the 11 hours it took to get there and the other 3 i was def groogy....But we did stop in Disneyland and that was awesome to break up the flying

Hi everyone...

I am a SAMER again. Good news is that last night I found out I don't need to head back out to CA next week, so now I can get back into the swing of things here and back into a normal routine. Maybe I can get past being a SAMER for a number of weeks and actually have a loss!!

Has anyone ever dealt with the warranty department (Geek Squad) with Best Buy? Our refrigerator died at the end of January (thank goodness it was while we were home and not while we were in CA), and the new one came with a broken freezer drawer. They ordered a replacement twice now, and both times it's the wrong kind... it won't even fit in the freezer. I can't seem to get a hold of anyone at the "Geek Squad" that can help me... I just keep getting transferred around for 20 minutes until someone sends me to a dead extension which cuts off the call. Any suggestions? I am considering going into the store with the drawer and exchanging it out for the floor model if that one is in decent shape... I just want a freezer drawer!!!

flyby! i'm so busy with work these days, but that's a good thing because it means money. i'm a samer today. but i have a feeling in a couple of days i will have lost at least a pound or two because i'm VERY sore from my workout on wednesday and when i'm sore i weight more (acid buildup in the muscles is like retaining water). i'm anxious for my 2 new cardio workouts to arrive from amazon.com! i will let you guys know how they are once i do them.

oh, by the way, we're going roller skating tomorrow night. i'm sure by monday morning i will be so sore i won't be able to walk because i haven't skated in like 10 years. we shall see!

 

[UtahMama]

-.8!
I'll take it after last week's -6! It was actually up a little on Wednesday.
1.2 pounds away from a new set of numbers...THAT day I'll rejoice BIG time!

I discovered taco flavored ground turkey meat that is soooo yummy.


I ONLY have Fridady, Sat., and Sundays to get a weight training session in. MUST commit to that since I feel SO heavy and soft since I started school.

Ugh, my first class is almost over (one more class) and we're having a POT LUCK. on Tuesday!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Snow White, congrats on the 2nd in the competition. Way to go. And you deserved the chips and salsa. The salsa is healthy, right?

Congrats on the win and the weight loss!

Thanks!
I'm sure it was much healthier than anything else we could've ate. Fresh made tortilla chips and salsa, yum!

Congratulations to everyone and keep it up!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Well, I'm only down .2, and it was more earlier in the week, but I had a larger-than-normal dinner last night and still have it with me, I think! Hopefully if I'm really good this week (and I will be!), I'll see a good loss next week.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Well, I'm still sick. I just can't shake it. My cough is so bad I had to take a sleeping pill last night so that I could get some rest. And to make things worse, we have cancelled our May WDW trip. My husband has no interest in returning to the World after our fiasco January trip. Geesh, I have DVC points coming out the wazoo, I think I'll be banking 500 pts into next year, even after having 5 rooms in January for the family. Do you know how hard it is to cancel a week at the Beach Club during prime pool time? My fingers were trembling. Oh well, maybe we'll get to Costa Rica later this year after all.

And I have more time to lose these 10 lbs that will not go away.

Sorry to hear that your still sick, hope you start to feel better soon. Also sorry on the trip to WDW, hope you get to go to Costa Rica for sure

I just do the steps over and over and over. I did it again this morning and did better. I'm not ready for chair or pole (and no,I"m not getting a pole installed in my house). Think of it as modern choriagraphed dancing. Here's what I worked out today to, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pBCcYQTUXA. Its clean to watch, kid approved.

checking in too to say, I did the YT video above twice, walk/kick with Leslie Sansone and plan to do something off of FIT tv later this afternoon.

That's cool

Faith, if you are trusting/willing, I may have a need for renting/exchanging points with you. My FIL has been diagnosed with stage 3 congestive heart failure and they found a mass in his lung, and we may need to move our Sept trip up to as close as possible. However, our points for this year are maxed...

Sorry to hear about your FIL

Hi peeps!

Hanging in there!
I am such a MIA-ist! UGHHHH!

Hope you all are healthy and doing well!

I haven't stepped foot in the gym for weights since Jan 19th! I FEEL so heavy even though the scale is being nice to me . I feel "soft" and achy. I don't walk with that normal fast, confident stride. I don't sleep as well at all.

Blah! Is all I have to say.

Stress was a huuuge part of my week this week and without my usual comfort eating, I really started to feel at the end of my rope (school, finishing our basement bedrooms for our 2 younger boys, and my mother coming to live with us, cranky DH, etc.).

The bedrooms are habitable now, my school assignments are done (for a minute, LOL) , and my mom isn't as bad as I was anticipating. *breathe*.

I DID start partake in some seriously good margaritas a couple times (for medicinal purposes) which made me retain a ton of water and feel physically crappy.

Things I've learned:

Ambien CR is good
Exercise is the best gift I can give myself besides school
I need my peeps!!!

UM - missed you too

Laura; glad to hear you're feeling better. Sorry about the kiddos though. DH always orders through th WDW Florists. (I think he wa impressed when we toured their facility as part of The Backstage Magic tour two years ago.) There are tons of things to choose from at www.disneyflorist.com These look good for kids: http://www.disneyflorist.com/product/waltdisneyworldflorist-a-pirates-life-1/display

I've got to get to bed; night all!

Danielle I love the snack one because then I have a lunch bag for me. We're staying in Fort Wilderness so I think the kids getting some snacks for the RV would be a great thing. I wonder if they have something Christmasy for not so much money. I'll have to look at the link, thanks again.

Yeah sounds great. We stopped at San Fran on the way back from Hawaii but you know, I should of did Disneyland, crazy person I am

 

[dwheatl]

Here I am, taking it like a peep. I'm up 2.4. Wish I could say it was worth it, but a lot of the eating came out of frustration and disappointment. I will say the ice cream at Ghirardelli Square and the shrimp pescatore and Italian bread at the Franciscan were worth it. The rest, not so much.

I started doing some weights at the gym yesterday. I always do cardio because the calorie burning looks so good, but I keep seeing more and more how strength training ups your metabolism all the time. I'm going to try to have a more balanced workout schedule from now on.

 

[Nefferz]

I'm late! But I'm down 1 and pretty satisfied with that. I've probably lost 4 or 5 since the first of the year, though I attribute most of that to the after Christmas lack of fudge and cookies! I have such a terrible sweet tooth.

I'm going to watch the challenge to see how you all do, then perhaps I'll take part in the next one.

Wishing you all a healthy week!

wouldn't you know it - i weighed myself this morning and i'm 2 pounds lighter than i was yesterday!!!!! i knew it was because i was sore. oh, well, that and the fact that i had tummy troubles last night and spent a good portion of the eveninig on the toilet. that's always fun for a friday night!

i'm going roller skating tonight with some girlfriends. i'm hoping it will be good exercise - i'm sure i'll be sore tomorrow and monday. but i figure it will only burn off the calories i drink from the margaritas i'm having right beforehand.

 

[HockeyKat]

That sounds good Dawn!! I haven't been roller skating in years. Obviously I am a bigger fan of ice!

I meant to weigh this AM and forgot. I was down 1.6 yesterday AM from last Friday, for a total of 9.8 since Feb 1, but I will be weighing tomorrow AM for the official Feb stats (in my mind, since I started on a Sun).

I am in the midst of reading a good e-book on the programmatical approach to dieting. The guy recommends weighing daily and using a rolling average to graph your weight, as it is a truer gauge of what you are actually losing since water, bodily function, etc can skew your weight one way or the other day by day. He has a spreadsheet that you can download that does this for you.

Just don't get nabbed for SUI - skating under the influence

hello all

hope everyone is having a good weekend. i was a bad peep and did not work out today..BUT Greg and I finally did a bunch of house stuff we have been putting off FOREVER...i.e. cleaning out and reorganizing a VERY packed office closet..so happy its done though...nothing like finally biting the bullet and doing a very un-fun chore!
Dawn...have fun skating...i think the last time i rollerskated i was wearing leg warmers and listening to Debbie Gibson and NKOTB!!!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Morning all!

Just peeping in!

I'm down .5. Bit disappointing, but I have had 2 meals out, and haven't been able to exercise as I have a horrible throat infection. Better than nothing, hopefully I will be able to exercise again in a few days!

Hope you're all having a good weekend! I have an exciting new ticker!!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

I have to say I wasn't a great peep this week. I ate out a few times and I had to take DH to the Dr 3 times so my exercise time was seriously limted. I didn't do anything all week. I did go to the yoga class I enjoy yesterday.

Last week; post vacation weigh in, I was + 4.6, with a little work this week I was -1.6 for a net gain of 3 lbs since I last posted. I had measurements taken at the gym yesterday that show I've lost inches in my abs and hips though so I've done some good things even if I'm not actually losing weight.

I was more worried about how DH's driving restriction was going to affect him, I didn't give much thought to hw much extra work it was going to be for me. I'm thinking this might be a good time to get DD her license. I really didn't want her driving yet but we may have little choice in the matter.

 

[punkin413]

i survived skating with no broken bones or major injuries - it's a miracle! not sore yet but i'm sure i will be tonight.

here's a short update on our night last night if anyone's interested (posted in my TR):

Peeps! I just had to share. I'm so excited! I just found out today that I won 1st place in the architecture division of a local photographic print competition. AND I won 2nd place best in show over all!!! I get $150, and my photo will likely be in the local paper and on the brochure for next year's competition! Here's the photo that won - one of the pictures I took of the Walt Disney Concert Hall on our trip to California last November.

CONGRATS, LYNDA!!!
