I am DOWN 3!!!!:woohoo: Amazing what a little exercise and watching what you eat can do!!! :confused3 I am on my way to my Labor Day Goal of 10lbs! This time I WILL do it!!!

I have been getting veggies at an organic farm in the area, and you get whatever is being harvested at the time. The cool thing is, I have been trying some veggies I've never had...last week we had kohlrabi. I had to research it to see what to do with it, so I am cooking some today. We also had some raw in a salad last night. Very good!!! :thumbsup2
 
I also got some chicken salad made with yogurt instead of mayo - less than 200 cals for what I put on my 10 grain bread and it was yummy.

Oh and DH tells me he'd like to pick up a 250pt contract at CR when the DVC there opens - are we made of money? I said his work situation needs to change if thats what he wants. If we can afford it, I'd be so happy b/c it means I defintely get to go to disney more often - an maybe even disneyland paris.

That chicken salad sounds yummy. Yeah for you that your DH wants DVC. My DH said once I get a paying job (I'm a SAHM) maybe he'll think about it.

-1.2 lb today
 
i'm taking a free pass today for 2 reasons:

~AF is arriving any time now. blah.

~it's my birthday.......go shorty, it's your birthday, we gonna party like it's your birthday, we gonna sip bacardi like it's your birthday.....

sorry. i tend to break out in gangster rap on my birthday. which is really funny because i'm such a white girl.

anyway, so i'm not weighing in today. instead i'm getting ready to go have lunch at my favorite italian restaurant with my best friend. then tomorrow night she and i and our hubbies are going to bonefish grill for dinner and to see "the dark knight". can't wait!!!! we were gonna see it on imax and we can't now because it's sold out. the theater 20 minutes from my house is the only theater in georgia where you can see this movie on imax. go figure. and because i don't want to wait and i MUST see this movie this weekend, we're just gonna go see it on the regular screen. i may see it again later on imax. christian bale and heath ledger on imax is worth seeing that movie twice in my opinion!!!!!!
 

Punkin this if for you. I love this song.

:bday: :cake: party: Dawn. You're fabulous!

You won't see too many people say this on this thread, but, Woo hoo! I'm a samer this week!

I forgot to take my pedometer to Disneyland, but our hotel was about 1/2 mile from the entrance, and we walked to the park and back everyday, as well as all the walking in the park. We walked back and I swam mid-day one day, and I danced/marched throughout the Electrical Parade after having eaten a whole Monte Cristo sandwich. Yesterday I walked miles again at DD's college orientation, and I threw away half of an M& M cookie and left the pasta and rice and ate just the chicken breast and veggies at lunch.

Now I need to get moving. I have a cold and feel crummy, but I think I can sweat it out on the exercise bike. I'm reading a great book, one of the Laurie King books, if anyone has read those. They are based on Sherlock Holmes, but center on a young woman who becomes his wife and partner n crime solving. If you are going to read them, read them in order. The first is called The Beekeeper's Apprentice.
 
I can't find my notebook that has my exact pre-disney weight but I weighed this morning and I have gained. Disney + post-disney eating + Aunt flo = BAD news.

:woohoo: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN!!!!! :woohoo:
 
she'll be visitng me early next week (although, thankfully she only visits 4 times a year) and I'm already feeling the bloat.
 
I have a job!!! Officially!

It is through the contract company that I did my pediatric internship with and ironically I've been placed in the school county that I interviewed for on Monday. But I will get a lot more money than if I took it directly through the school district. I'm very excited, relieved and extremely nervous about getting my own place and having a "real" job. I'll be working in 2 schools in Martin county, florida, about 1.5 hours from my mom's house. So still close to home which is nice for a homebody like me. My caseload has autism, typical speech and language delays, and children with more severe disorders, like cerebral palsy. Very challenging indeed.

This weekend my mom and I are going to drive up there and look around at the schools and some apartments. :woohoo: :scared: :thumbsup2

Hi...just jumping right in here...hoping to get the motivation I need to get back on track. I was doing really good at the beginning of the year, exercising, eating right and I lost 15 lbs. Which I'm thrilled about!!! I really only wanted to lose another 5-10lbs but more importantly I wanted to stay healthy. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get back on track. Once the kids finished with school and are home now (as well as my DH since he's a teacher), I just can't seem to get motivated to exercise and I'm back to my bad snacking habits. Luckily I haven't really gained any weight back but I'm back to feeling yucky and sluggish :sad1:

Any words of wisdom to help me get my motivation back???

:welcome: Its a great group to join!
The best advice I have is to check in here regularly! I find that by reading here as much as I can, even if I just lurk, Im much more motivated to eat healthy and excercise because everyone on here is doing so great - I don't want to be the weak link in the Peep group :rotfl:

4. Support! Hey, we're FREE! Vent, blog, whatever you want! "Use Us!"

*There's my "words of wisdom". And Welcome again! :grouphug:

I agree totally with this - Half of the time on here Im not even posting about my weight! :lmao:

~it's my birthday.......go shorty, it's your birthday, we gonna party like it's your birthday, we gonna sip bacardi like it's your birthday.....

christian bale and heath ledger on imax is worth seeing that movie twice in my opinion!!!!!!

:bday: party: Happy Birthday Dawn!!
Im going to see Dark Knight when its released here on Friday 25th July (its released Thursday 24th but its sold out already :eek: ) I cannot wait! I :love: Christian Bale and Heath Ledger!
