A fried snickers bar?!Can I ask what it is fried in?!
When I went to the Host book signing and got 20 seconds of Stephenie Meyer's time, I told her "Thank You for making an hour of cardio so easy!" because I would read while biking and POOF an hour and 400 calories would be burned.Hey Wendy! Forgot to say I enjoyed the field trip pics!
Yeah! Those teens look awfully good! Every time I get a new second digit, I get really excited!If I make my Halloween challenge goal, I'll be a fraction of a pound away from the "8's"!
That's right! I think I missed posting a gain I had right before the trip, but it went away too, so we are correct on my numbers. Thanks for keeping track!So basically I just lost what I gained on the trip (and just before). Works for me!
Plus, I stayed on my bike for 50-60 minutes at a time, just plowing through the book and pedaling like crazy!
A fried snickers bar?!
SOunds like fun! Remember WWPD?peeps, give me strength! we are going to a fall festival today (the first of about 3 that i will be attending this year) and there were be BAD THINGS there. you know, kettle corn, fried snickers bars, funnel cakes, frozen sweet tea.
Excellent question. I've never heard of this either. Sounds a little scary, doesn't it?A fried snickers bar?!
THanksgiving flight to DL...sounds awesome.I will! Thanks! You know what this means Danielle? We ARE getting on the plane on Thanksgiving that will be taking us to DL!!!We'll have to discuss meet possibilities!
But ONLY if I'm caught up on photography stuff, I think.
Good luck with your fall festival. I'm headed to a family reunion myself. And my family does not worry about eating healthy as a whole. I'll be taking small portions of my faves only, I think. And I'm taking Jasper, so she'll make a good distraction from the food for me.
Woo Hoo on college game day at Vandy! We are hoping to get one here at the U of I this year too. Good luck!
Thanks! I just hopped on the scale and got 147.2. I was guessing I'd be closer to 160, so I guess that's something to be happy about. Now to get my bootay moving again.
I hope your guys win today! Frozen sweet tea sounds yummy, but not those fried snickers bars.
Have a great time!
for your pretty numbers on the scale. Showed a #I haven;t seen since 6th grade. If that was in ponds id be seeing a doctor about anorexia!

I love getting into a new set of scale numbers! As long as I don't go back up into the un-pretty numbers (which happens all to often).
I'm at the "now what" stage after reading all Stephenie Meyers books (twice). I guess I could catch up on Janet Evanovich's Plum series #14. Those mysteries are FUNNY.
Love the classics too!
Well it's my first weigh-in...
And I'm only -0.2 but hey, better than nothing!
In other news... It's my birthday!!so today will be a cheat day, and I will not feel guilty about eating Mexican tonight!
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Newbie here. I really need some help holding me accountable! I was at my highest weight before we adopted our boys 2 1/2 years ago, then, amazingly, lost about 35 pounds without even thinking about it (I think something about changing my life from sitting at a desk all day, everyday, to chasing around 2 active boys daily had something to do with it!)
Anyway, I'm back up to 155, and I really don't want to gain anymore. I need to lose about 20 pounds. I'm only 5 feet tall. I started doing yoga and walking, and I just joined Curves this week.

. Doing well my first official day back on track. I weighed myself yesterday morniny but since I'm "starting over" I can't post a loss/gain/stayed the same. Aaron please take me off the Halloween challenge. I'll do the next one. I did gain according my scale at home another 2 lbs but I'm ok with that considering what I did eat so 2 lb I'll take. Hope everyone has a restful weekend. I have lots and lots of 
to do. Talk to you Monday.
It's your turn to come out here. I'd love to see you!
Welcome! You and your boys are lovely (handsome).
A fried snickers bar?!
I was going to say pretty much the same thing. We have a British pub down the street, and we went with a friend recently and split a Mars bar. The outside tasted pretty much like a cruller. The inside - melted Mars bar.
no idea. some sort of fattening batter and oil!

I mean, I was/am really obsessed with Twilight! Could NOT put it down!
Well, we are actually at DL for a whole week if that helps at all. Our plans aren't fully formed yet, but we are at the Grand Californian from Thanksgiving through 12/5. Not sure if we can swing a SF side trip. There is a lot we want to do around LA. We are visiting the Disney Soda Fountain, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, possibly ABC studio tour, and hopefully a beach town in addition to DL for 5 days.
I am interested in starting the Stephanie Plum series. I might grab the first one of those. Is it an easy read? Long? I haven't really looked that closely at them, and I really need to catch up on photography stuff! I need something I can read while working out and on lunch hour at work, but not have to spend the whole evening desperately plowing through.
them.
That's a nice long trip. I know you'll have a great time. I won't be able to get down there that week, between family for the holidays and work the next week. That is one of the hardest things about teaching: you get lots of unpaid time off (summer, holidays, etc) but NO flexible vacation days where you can choose to take time off. I can't complain though. We've got 2 weeks off around Christmas, and we are planning to be at DL on New Years Day and a couple of days after.
Stephanie Plum books are super-easy reads. They are not complicated, they are just fun. There aren't a lot of cliff-hanger type scenes, just lots of snappy dialogue, smoldering love scenes, and great character development. I just
We'll be back at DL someday. When they open up the DVC resort in Hawaii, we plan to combine a trip to DL with a trip there.
for Oct. 16-22. The only thing that made it bearable to leave last time is knowing we'd be coming back this fall. POOH!
I'm so sorry to hear that.You GUYS!
Have you ever planned a trip to Disney and had to cancel it? When the time arrives for when the trip would have been...UGH!
On my kitchen calender is crossed off "Disneyland Trip, YAY"
It's the first time in many years that no trip is remotely possible unless we charge it (which I refuse to do).
On the upside, if there is one, my kids sort of lost the "magic" from going so often so I'm hoping when/if we go again, some of that magic will return to their faces.
Thank God for Trip Reports, huh?!
Geeezh, it's a ghost town around here on the weekends!
I hate things like that. What sucks even more is I would have been able to meet you!!! (If you'd have wanted to that is, LOL) We'll be there the 13th-19th. Darn.
I had to cancel a trip for that same weekend. I really wanted to see the Halloween decorations, since I've never been this time of year. DH and I are planning to go for a couple of days at New Year's though, so that takes away some of the sting. My problem is, I want to go every time there is a possibility of a meet. I feel jealous that folks get together, and I don't get to be there. In my more lucid moments, I know my problems are tiny compared to others, but it's still painful.So here's aYou GUYS!

I know what you mean. We didn't book yet, but our plan had been to go on our very first Disney Cruise next April during Spring break. Our 25th anniversary is APril 28th. We were taking the kids with us as DD(16) is a senior in HS and this may be our last whole family Disney vacation. With the economy the way it is we started thinking we'd go some other time, off season, as APril is ridiculously expensive for a family of 5 to cruise!
Now we've even scrapped that idea and I don't think we will be going to Disney at all in 2009. We've been very fortunate and somewhat spoiled to be going as much as we have these past few years so I should be grateful for that, but instead I'm sad. My DDs12 and 16 really want to go again, but DD(14) is magiced out like your kids. WDW just isn't a big deal to her anymore. She is quite happy that we aren't going!
