There were 21 of us altogether, we went out for a meal and drinks and then went to the races - I broke even with my bets so that was very good!, then we had more drinks and dancing! It was a wonderful night and everyone really enjoyed it! Im uploading more pictures tonight and tomorrow from mine and my Aunts cameras, so I'll post more as soon as I can!
The hotel in Atlantic City looks AMAZING!! You are going to have so much fun there!

Looks like you had LOTS of fun!!!! can't believe the wedding is in 5 days!!! Need pics afterwards to see how beautiful you are!!!!

We took some borrowed kids to Great America today. They were OK, but Dawn, make sure any baby you have goes to Disney early and often. The 5 year old had to be coaxed just to go on the merry-go-round. My kids were ready for Star Tours at age 3. They must be trained! (Sorry to any parents out there with less-than-eager riders. I was just expecting kids like mine who would go on anything).

i don't plan on "forcing" my child on rides but i hope he/she is an early rider like me and my siblings were! my dad pretty much forced us on rides and -- shocking, i know -- we turned out okay! plus now i'm really not afraid to try anything when it comes to riding stuff. my little brother rode that ginormous slide at wet n wild - i think it's called derstuka or something like that - at 5 years old! but i'm glad my dad did that with us because we ended up having fun on ALL the rides we were scared of.

I read that as "I pooped open!" Had to go back and read it again.

Well...either word, POPed or POOPed, works well in this case!
Although I wont force a child to ride, I figure if they're tall enough to safely ride a "biggie", then gentle encouragement-skillz are employed. If they are scared, then I back off and we ride share.

My Norah who turns 4 next week, is honestly FEARLESS on rides. I've taken her on any ride she was able...Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Snow White, Matterhorn (when tall enough), ETC., since she was itty-bitty.

This last trip, she went on Tower of Terror and was mildly concerned.
Now, DS19 would didn't want to go on the biggies until he was in Jr. High and friends were present.

I hate when parents DRAG kids onto "scary" rides. Or, almost as bad, the bully parents.

Banana Dancing today!

This exercise-thing WORKS!

Based on my multi-weighted day last week (and a good reason to not weigh more than once on Fridays ) I've lost between 5-7 pounds!

Can we just say 7?

I'm SO jealous of all the WDW goers!

Punkin- Thanks for the Juice Plus info. Seems like a great supplement!

7lb in a week!! You are my hero!

I hate when parents DRAG kids onto "scary" rides. Or, almost as bad, the bully parents.

We took our little ones on anything they could ride before they knew there was anything to be afraid of (like HM). Julia got scared on Alice in Wonderland, because of the screaming queen. We started calling the queen fathead, and that made Julia laugh, and then she loved to ride it. Same with Brendan and the whale on Pinocchio. We made jokes about it, and that reassured him, and then he was fine with the ride.
When we were at Blizzard Beach, there was a mom dangling her child over one of those huge, straight down slides. The kind that when I go down, as I sit I ask myself why I am going on. The poor kid was flailing and crying. IMO, that was borderline abuse. Thank God the lifeguard finally told the mom she couldn't put the kid on the slide, and they had to walk back down the line.

UGH! I hate that! 2 years ago, a momzilla MADE her DD ride TOT and this poor girl was terrified. I didn't want to scream (like we all do...with delight!) to scare her worse!

7lb in a week!! You are my hero!

Awww, thank you! It was more like 5 ish but technically 7 after "big potty". (LOL! I can't believe I just told you guys THAT!)

Hi All!

I have been MIA the last week. I didn't weigh in this week because I was in Iowa at the other house. I think I did OK with eating not the greatest but not super bad. Except we had Olive Garden one night to reward the kids for working so hard at the house.

Have a great week everyone!

Of course you told us!!! That's what we do here!!!

I don't understand why a parent would subject their children to something they are obviously afraid of. Would they want to do something that terrified them????? How about a room full of spiders for someone terrified of spiders????

 

[LMO429]

Hey Peeps!

Well the weekend is over..my pattern has typically been that I eat bad on the weekends fri sat and sunday well this weekend was a HUGE improvement because sunday was the only day that i really cheated per say..so i guess i am making progress.


I go back to work and school today..so maybe my routine will become a little better and i will be out of the summer mode ...i cant believe i was off for 3 months and it went soooo fast!

 

[myrsfmly]

Sorry I too have been MIA for awhile. Forgot to weigh in...not good I know. I leave on Thursday and the last minute panic of all the stuff I planned to do to get ready but ran out of time for is freaking me out... 3 days and counting!!!

For those of you interested, I have completed my TR, "Disney Chix Do Disney by Land & Sea". You can get there through the link in my signature.

Thanks to all of you who have been reading and commenting. I hope you have been enjoying reading as much as I enjoyed being there!

great! remember to do your cardio AFTER any weight training. you'll burn more calories that way because your body will already be in calorie-burning mode after you do weights!

:

OOOH good pointer!!! I always do it after cardio for some reason..i will certainly change that up starting today..thanks!

RUN from the Pringles Free!!!!
While standing in line for Pirates of the Carribean last year, I popped open a can of them. Heyyyy, they're semi healthy, I told myself.

By the end of the ride, I had to sqeeeeeeeze my bummocks to get to a bathroom URGENTLY!

OMG...i have been there..NOT FUN!

YAY! It was a fun read!

Sad it's over!

It IS a lot of work, I KNOW!

I really want to go on a Disney Cruise someday! (maybe without kids???)

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! you truly are an inspiration!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!! Since you hate the attention, I'll lay it on thicker!

That really IS great! Karma needs to lay off next week!!!

What a fabulous accomplishment Aaron!

I'm loving that you said you are a "Happy Little Peep"

You deserve every bit of attention there pal.

Woo hoo, Mr. Aaron! WTG! A friend told me that pride is the opposite of humility, and humility is the honest acknowledgment of your strengths and weaknesses. I think you do very well with that, so although you have pride in your accomplishment, you are not being boastful or proud in a bad way.

If I was close by, and your wife didn't mind, I'd give you a big hug (and my arms could probably reach around you).

Aaron...Awesome on the weight loss. You have proven that sticking with it is the key!!!! WTG!

Aaron you are so deserving of your accomplishments, it couldn't happen to a nicer person. I did not read a smidge of negativeness in any of that. I was just too happy for you and feeling all of your goodness. Congrats.

You are truly an inspiration!

Thanks for all of the kind words. I truly do hate talking about myself, but I'm happy you let me indulge myself a little bit.

HEY AARON! Where's he Labor Day Challenge stats?? I'm curious where I stand...I can't remember. Thanks!!!

Coming up!

6Well peeps, a great night was had by all at the Hen Party! We drank, danced and were generally silly (in a good way!) I'll post a silly photo for anyone thats interested!

Thats me in the black and white dress with the veil on (obviously!!)

Looks like you had a blast. And by the way, you look fabulous! (And on a side note, what would the male equivalent of a "Hen Party" be? We have bachelor parties or stag parties here. Would your soon-to-be husband have a Turkey Party?)

All right, here's the Labor Day update from the past two weeks (since I forgot to post it last week). Let me know if anything seems "off".

 

[HockeyKat]

Hey Aaron... please remove me from the challenge. This job search has really fouled up my summer plans to eat healthy and exercise!

I am still around, lurking. Been terrible lately so don't have much to add. I think I have gained about 5-7 lbs but I am afraid to look. I am going to try to stick to it the next 2 weeks before my WDW trip, but as I am in my last 2 weeks here and have lunches, etc., I am not sure how good I will wind up being.

I hear that! Please take me off the challenge as well..i dont know if i jinx myself but everytime i am on a challenge i gain weight..i can't risk it..

good to hear! keep us posted.

:

Thats really interesting, when I was training to be an aerobic instructor last year we were always taught to do cardio first, and then toning / weights, as your muscles will work harder when they are already warm from the cardio. But now I can see both sides of the argument!!!

Maybe after the green tea challenge this week I will swap my workouts around next week to do weights first and see if that makes a difference!!

well, i'm no expert by any means. my best friend is the one who told me that and she's a fitness trainer and does the group fitness classes at my gym. she also competes in fitness competitions. (not body building, but fitness) check her out! she's the one in the light blue bikini. yeah, it's sickening.
