Hi all! I was hoping I could join your thread for inspiration! I have 7lb's I need to lose . . . I have lost it a million times before and then put it straight back on again, but I am bored of that so this time want to get there and actually KEEP THERE for more than a week for once!! I have put most of it on in the last 2 weeks while DH and I have been off work and now can't get my jeans on, but am back on the straight and narrow from today, and have already ran 4 miles on the treadmill and walked the dogs for 30 minutes My legs are shaking!!

Great job on the running/walking today.

I hope you like Wall-E..i just loved it...let us know what you thought!

So today was day 2 at the new gym..i just loved it! I have only done regular cardio and used some of the weight machines so far but i am really looking forward to taking some of the group classes they have...they sound great..AND my membership includes free yoga and pilates classes! very exciting.
HOpe everyone is having a nice weekend!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Wendy, I am with you...selling a house is VERY stressfull!!! I am in awe that you can do it with all those "little ones" in the house. My 21yo is messy enough for a house-full of little kids!

We had another Open House today and it was just ok. We also showed the house yesterday and they love the kitchen and first floor, but think there is too much work to do upstairs. The only thing we see is new carpet and painting if they don't like our decor. I've decided people expect to have the house in move in condition, to their specifiications for little money. Good Luck!!(said very sarcastically!)

I'm still figuring out eating for second shift, but it's getting better. I am trying to go by, "If I don't bring it, I don't eat it!" Machine cappuccino has been calling to me lately and I am trying to resist.

Need some exercise.......

 

[Wonders10]

UGH!!!!! I just uploaded a ton of pictures of my new apartment with captions and it got deleted!

Here is the couch and living room. I need some pictures for the wall and a table or something for next to it, to the left of the couch. Also I really need an ottoman or coffee table. I hate not being able to sit facing the tv and put my feet up.

Here is the tv area. I plan on getting a cute armchair and putting it where the computer is right now.

My kitchen.

The dining area. Again needs some wall art. And I may get some new slip covers. These were my DB and DSIL and they are pretty old and faded. Also, I have to keep the microwave out here since the apt did not come with one. My mom bought me a "microwave cart" to put it on but her friend is going to put it together for me.

The bedroom. Yes that is a disney bear

Bedroom again. With the dresser in the background.

Bedroom again from last week when my mom and Phoebe came to visit. She had to test out the bed for future visits.

My washer and dryer.

The bathroom...I fell in love with this shower curtain at Macy's.

Bathroom again.

My balcony/patio and woods view. Again, I'm going to get a cute table and chairs set eventually.

I'm still getting used to being on my own. It's pretty lonely to be honest. I actually went home yesterday for an overnight visit and my mom and I went shopping for some new work clothes for me. Made me feel better but I'm just so stressed out and I hate not having a routine. It's typical "shannon" though. All new adventures bring on mini-breakdowns. A few weeks from now I will probably still be stressed with work yet much happier and settled.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Shannon...There is nothing more exciting to me than setting up a new home!!!! How lucky you are that you can do that! The apartment is great and has soooo much potential! Have fun with the decorating!!!

For anyone interested...a new installment has finally hit my TR and it's subject is Castaway Cay! You can click on the link in my signature to get there! Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did being there!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Thought I'd share the pics of my newly decorated kitchen, since I just uploaded them to the computer!

Now if only perspective buyers would like it!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Hi all! I MISS MY PEEPS! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm still working on wedding pics, but I'm in the home stretch now! And I have a fun trip planned for this coming Friday and Saturday to Chicago with a friend. I'll tell you all about it when I get back and post some photos.

Late weigh in info - I hope those who need it see it! I am down .4, and I've been better this weekend than the last few, I think. So I've got high hopes for this coming week, but I'll have to post early this time since I'll be gone on Friday.

the kitchen looks great! i can't wait to redo mine!!!

Shannon..the apt looks super cute! Once you get some pics up and the other little odds and ends it will look completely homey and warm..i love the patio you have, thats so cute!

That's how I'm feeling about Dark Knight. I asked DH if I was going to have to ask him out on a date to find a time to go see this. We all loved Wall-E.

Hi all! I was hoping I could join your thread for inspiration! I have 7lb's I need to lose . . .

You'll find a lot of support here. Happy to have you.

Machine cappuccino has been calling to me lately and I am trying to resist.

When I was going to WW, one of the leaders said the best way to GAIN weight is to drink your calories. That's what I remind myself when the cappucino is calling. Stay strong.

It's those Disney touches that make it home. Love the bear (squeak, squeak). I am now at the point in the summer where I think I'll be happier when I'm at work. Stressed, but happy. Sitting around too much makes me want to eat.

4 miles on the treadmill AND a 30 min walk - - you rock!

Good thoughts for the brides out there. Try to enjoy these last couple of weeks before the wedding. Don't let the stress get to you. Remember, it's not really about the one day. It's about starting a new life together.

Thanks for this - at this stage its nice to have a reminder why we are doing it! Im not generally a nervous person, or someone who stresses but now we are so close im a quivering wreck, and im having problems sleeping . We had a lovely day on our own yesterday - no family round, no talk of weddings, just us! It was just what the doctor ordered!

Thankyou to everyone for the birthday greetings, I had a great day and some nice time alone with my chief bridesmaid!

Well....I get married NEXT WEEK!!! I cant believe it! I got a new ipod for my birthday, so yesterday we loaded some music onto it, and this week and the beginning of next im going to either do a minimum of 30 minutes on the cross trainer, or have a jog with the ipod on! Im thinking the cross trainer is a better bet, as the weather here has been very hit and miss!

ETA: Shannon, your apartment looks lovely! I can see you being very happy there!
Disney Obsession - I LOVE your new kitchen!
Hope everyone is having a fabulous skinny day!

Thanks for the advice and the words of wisdom...I wil keep that in mind when I am tempted!

Going out with friends this morning to another quilt shop. Looking for more flannel for my next project.

Hope evryone has a good day...rainy & thundering here in western NY. Good day to curl up with a good book!

Hi, such a busy weekend over here.

Saturday got the new carpet put in the basement and then we spent the day hauling everything that we put in the garage back down there.

Then Sunday was Zach's 10th birthday. We went to Comerica Park for a Tiger game. Kids got to meet the players and run the bases. It was awesome for them.

We partied was too much, very bad peeps.

Zach and I spent the night with the bathroom gods being punished for our aweful bad peep behavoir.

I think we learned our lesson.


Maybe it was just something that we ate, cause quite frankly, I didn't think we did that bad.

Oh, on Saturday I got an In Step jogging stroller off of craigs list for 28.00 and they were right in the same city.

I can't wait to take it to the track today while Zach's at football practice.

Have a great skinny day.

Welcome!!!! Love, love, love your user name!

I love to exercise till my legs are all wobbly! To me, it means it's working.
7 pounds is often just as hard as the 30-40 I want to lose. Just stay focused and it'll come off just like *that*!

Again, welcome aboard, HoneyPot!

we're off to see wall-e this afternoon. i haven't seen it yet and i told ray if i don't see it before the summer's over i would be very ill. so we're going today. wish me luck on resisting bad things at the snack counter!

Well? What did you think? I loved it!!! I especially liked the overweight humans. Made me think.

I hope you like Wall-E..i just loved it...let us know what you thought!

It IS hard. We had 4 people/groups come through. I haven't heard anything yet, so we'll see. I am SO wanting to move out of state!

It's such a bad market and is getting worse
I have so much depending on the sale of our home too.
I think your kitchen is really well done and warm...like I'd love to have some coffee and girl talk with you there!

love the new apartment/kitchen pics, guys! makes me want to redecorate!

for those of you who asked, i LOVED wall-e! although i never did understand the ending. if she put in a new motherboard, how did he remember her? i guess i'm just more pratical than i am romantic! and yes, the fat people DID make me think! when i told anna (my best friend/fitness trainer) i was going to see it, she said that one of the lessons of the movie was really close to her heart and i'd know it when i saw it. as soon as i saw the futuristic fat people consumed in their slurpies and TVs, i knew what she was talking about.......get off your bum and enjoy your life!!!!!

by the way, did you guys see the mens swimming relay last night?????? i'm sure you've seen it by now on the news if you didn't watch it last night. it was AWESOME!!!!! i was screaming at the TV during the last leg. it was SUCH a great race!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Day 2! You go girl!!!! Are you going back soon?

Ditto! I did go again this morning before work..i set the ole alarm for 6:30 and didn't even hit snooze! I did 35 min on the treadmill with a lot of incline and then i did ab work for about 10 min. tommorow i will go again after work and do cardio/leg work on the weight machines..i love it!!!

I looked on the IMDB (International Movie DataBase) and saw a conversation about the motherboard. Someone said something that made sense. When Eve kissed him, there was both the magic of love, but also an actual spark that could have reset his memory.

Here's the quote: To give a full explanation while keeping it simple:

Easy. Robots usually have two types of memories, each with their own emplacement: the "Storage" type and the "used" type. Whatever they learn, is saved in both types, yet the Storage type is the permanent memory drives of the unit, stored deep in the unit. The Used type, which is what the computer reads as it operates, is (in WALL•E's case) in the motherboard (the part that was replaced). The computer only reads the memory that's written on the Motherboard's drives, not the Storage, which is mainly for archival and backup purposes.

As WALL•E's motherboard was replaced after being fried, he lost his "Used" type so couldn't remember anything, and went back to his default programming, much to EVE's chagrin. However – this is just an interpretation – perhaps the "kiss" and the spark somehow kickstarted the writing process from the Storage memory (which was never affected) to the Used on his motherboard, so his memory did basically come back in one glorious stroke. It's not that far-fetched, once you think about it.


I'm warning you all now, although www.imdb.com is a great place to look up movie info, like where have I seen that actor before, or whose voice is in that cartoon, it also has a lot of trolls in the comment area. Like many other places on the internet, you get a glimpse at how truly awful people can be, especially when they feel anonymous.
Speaking of which, we finally saw The Dark Knight tonight. That was intense. I had gone grocery shopping before, so I bought myself some chocolate Crunch 'n' Munch, 150 calories for 2/3 cup serving, and I bribed myself with that as my treat after the movie so I wouldn't buy the popcorn in the theater. The popcorn did smell great, though.
