Disney (9/22 - 9/29/09) Pre-trip Report..the Planning of a Surprise Trip

[disneygirlinnj]

I think the flip flops are cute! Just make sure you buy them and have enough time to wear them a bit before heading down there so you can break them in! I wore a pair of brand new flip flops once and it was NOT a good idea. My poor feet were so blistered and gross!

Great photos from your last trip! The kids are so adorable!

I love all the pictures from your last trip!

About the "baby weight" thing - my son is 2.5 and I still call it baby weight. I didn't have it before him so it's only fair IMO.

Those shoes are cute! I have the Teva Mush flip flops and they are great. However, my new love are FitFlops - they are the most comfy shoes ever. All my other shoes have been neglected since I got my FitFlops - have you tried them?

yeah I 2nd the motion that you can defintely refer to it as baby weight. My oldest will be 5 in november and I still have yet to get back to my bbw (before baby weight) from my 1st pregnancy let alone my 2nd.

I agree with everyone else... it is still baby weight...

DD is 5 1/2 and it is still baby weight....

It has NOTHING to do with the fact that I like pizza... NOTHING...

My DD is 8 and it is still baby weight!

I have been working out and watching what I eat and I have lost 14lbs so far. It is a PITA- NO PIZZA! It is one of my all time fave foods. It is hard to motivate myself- especially when I want to sit on the couch.

I have a list I made of all the great tips I have gotten. I can share. Maybe I will put them on my PTR? LOL.

I have lost 4 pounds like the last ten days... I would have done a lot better had I not had McDonals twice and failed to do my Wii Active 4 times...

Oh yeah, and the Arby's for dinner tonight...

Man I suck at this...

It is really hard to start- but it is harder to keep going. I am on week 6, and I just ate a pop tart. And I know better. I actually bought the pop tarts for Disney, too!

I have the same problem with eating out. I have lost 20lbs since oct. I still would like to loose another 30. I never had to loose more than 10 or 15 in the prechildren years. I blame it all on the fast food resturaunts. I think they secretly stick addicting drugs in my food and then my car somehow always turns into there parking lots. I restart almost every monday. Some weeks are better than others. I do love wii active though but I need to get back into the routine of actually doing it. Glad to know others are having the same troubles.

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Okay, this may be a good thing that all of us are doing this...

I felt guilty after typing out my fast food binges and got off the computer and did my Wii Active workout...

I am getting ready to do today's workout...

I think you may be a good influence on me...

I just ate another pop tart. I am stressed out, and Luke, my 1.5 yo is sick.

Congrats on the 20 pounds!! I totally agree with the drugs in the fast food!!!

Getting fit update: My scale is broken No seriously I think it is... It says I weigh one thing but it can't be right because my shorts are soon going to fall off of me so I know I am losing something..

Shhh! Don't tell DH that I will need to buy some new shorts..

Fitflops?? What are those? I will have to do a search.. I went to Famous footwear today because I got a 20% off coupon in the paper and I knew that they had a pair of running shoes that I wanted to look at and they also carried TEVA brand.. So with their bogo 50% off and the coupon I had to go and check it out.. I am so glad I did they had the wedge flipflops there and I tried them on and they were not as comfortable as the Mush Flipflops... So I bought just the plain black (goes with everything) ones. they look like this:

and I bought these:

I got a new sling backpack to replace my reg. backpack/diaper bag.. It will still be used as a diaperbag. I got it for 7.99 at Burlington! I love a good bargin!

I finished with a more detailed itinerary I will post it later..

On the home front, Connor is scheduled to go for an endoscopy and colonoscopy on the 27th of this month.... (I think I will get more nervous as it get closer but right now I am relieved to the possiblity of getting answers).
-Corinne pulled out her tooth.. and the tooth fairy brought her a hannah montana CD. (she has 3 more loose teeth in her mouth... I think I am going to go broke!)
- William well he is just a terror!!

Thanks for all the posts! I feel loved

I would love the links to any and all tips you have so I can put them in my binder it will make great reading material for the plane ride.

We did good no fast food today!! Waffles (toaster kind) for breakfast - Turkey sandwich, pickles, tiny amount of chips and 1/2 string cheese for lunch, Spagetti and brownies for dinner... (Oops I should not have made the brownies)

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

good job on the menu for the day. (minus the brownies) Keep up the good work. My meal plan for the day is cereal for breakfast, pita sandwich with chicken and veggies for lunch, and whole grain spaghetti and meatballs made w 95% fat free beef for dinner. Hopefully the plan carries itself out. I am on my way to the family room to do my Wii active for the first time in weeks. Thanks for the motivation!

Your so very welcome. I am jealous of your well balanced meal plan for today. Well we are off to the pool today.. (taking advantage of the beautiful day and DH being off. )

Were is Allentown? I have family outside of Pittsburgh in Washington PA and further southeast in an small community. We are flying out of Pitt. when we leave.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

we also are having great weather this week. I took the kids to an area that we have here called the promenade shops. The have one of those fountain playing areas for the kids to run around in. My boys love it and it really tires them out. They are both napping soundly as I type Allentown is about 6 hours from pittsburgh across the state. We are about 40 minutes northwest of philadelphia. We actually live in a city called bethlehem right next to allentown. I dont know why I wrote allentown, I guess cause thats where I grew up and lived until 2 years ago. But anyway they are close to one another. Have you ever been anywhere out here? I visited pittsburgh once a number of years ago and I enjoyed it alot. Ive only every drove through ohio. A friend an I took a 3 week 1/2 cross country trip when we were 21 and we stayed one night in a KOA campground in dayton ohio.

I just ate McDonald's again...

I am getting ready to do my Wii Active right now, looks like I will have to do double today...

Yesterday was legs and butt apparently cause i had to do a ton of squats and lunges... My glutes are killing me today...

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

this is off topic but can you tell me how to put a link on my signature for my PTR. I cant figure this out. Thanks

also Oregonmommyof2 at least your working out and burning the calories it could be worse. No pain no gain right?

 

[jmkford4]

I have eaten sickeningly well today. And I went to the gym and RAN.

Why the colonoscopy and endo?
