Disneyland Divas working out, getting healthy, and looking fine in '09!!

[2_Eagle_Mom]

Come on Cristabel!! We can do this!! I've fallen off too. Hurry, let's run and catch it!!!

But I've at least got to keep trying!!! Wait up band wagon! Cristabel and I are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, wait for me!!!!

I've fallen off as the wagon as well and I'm having a really hard time catching up with it. I've tried to get motivated to get to the gym, but work has been an emotional drain. Last week there were layoffs (luckily I made it through) but it has been a really weird vibe in the building and trying to figure out all the new projects that we now will be responsible for is mind numbing. Apparently my body needs a good 4 day a week work out to drop any weight. When I don't do it (and don't track) then the weight creaps back.

Last week I gained almost 2lbs. I weigh in tomorrow but of course today I'm starting to bloat (Kwim?) JUST PERFECT TIMING.

I'm going to really try and do better this week and hit the gym at least three times. The only good thing that I have done these last couple of weeks is to keep up with the long walks on the weekend. We did 4 miles on both Saturday and Sunday.

The bandwagon is waiting!!!

All Aboard!!

Great job on the walks!

And congrats on getting through the layoffs. I'm struggling through that myself right now at work. Send pixie dust.

Any other stragglers out there? We're waiting....

Thanks for holding the band wagon for us Jen!! Now we can ALL get back on and get going in the right direction again.

The holidays are tough, but we are tougher. We can do this!! I do have a goal, and I'm going to make it. We all are!!!!!

GOOD MORNING LADIES!!

Some things to think about for the day:
1. Make your vision board
2. Food journal
3. Get up and move
4. Drink your water
5. SMILE

It's a new day! Make it one your are proud of!

With Thanksgiving next week I'm kind of scared but I'm determined to do the fruit flush this Wed-Fri. That should jump start my weight loss again. Then I won't over eat at Thanksgiving...that will be a first!

Ok Beth, I'm running back to the bandwagon with you!

What kind of protein powder do you use?

What kind of protein powder do you use?

I suggest Jay Robb's protein powder

jayrobb.com

They have the large ones ($40-$50) but they also have smaller ones.

 

[mommaU4]

So far, so good!! I hope the same goes for everyone else today!!

 

[grizbuzz]

Ok, I'm officially a danger to my own safety. Last night I shut my finger in the sliding door (don't ask...I have NO idea who I managed that) and then today ran into a chair and messed up my toes to the point I couldn't go running.

Looks like I'm being moved to another team and work and will no longer be with all my colleagues. Still am waiting for any news that I actually have a job. I just want to be plucked up from my little home office and put in a place where I am safe and free from any more stress. Can I click my heals and be in Hawaii for a few days? Or maybe on a cruise where no one can find me?

For the good news...I got a podcast t-shirt in the mail today! They read my email a couple weeks back and sent me a t-shirt. So very cool.

I think I must go to bed now, before I make anything else worse. My head doesn't seem to be screwed on straight.

Ouch! I'm sorry you got hurt. And that you are getting shuffled around at work. I hope it doesn't get worse then that! Hang in there.

That's cool about the tee.

I'll be crossing my fingers that you find out news soon. The waiting to hear is the worst part.

I hope you feel better tomorrow, I'll bet you are just so preoccupied you aren't watching where you are walking or doing. Maybe a nice hot bath will take you away for a little while. "Calgon take her away"

I'm jealous of your shirt. What was your email about? I'm addicted to listening to the archive shows in between the current ones. I've saved the Bob Memorial show for later (don't want to break down in tears at the gym or driving to/from work).

I was pleasantly surprised today at the weigh in, I lost 1.2lbs! Almost back down to my low weight. Now I just have to get past the holiday weekend without gaining and I'll be very happy.

Thanks for the support ladies! And congrats on the 1.2lb weight loss!

My email was just a question on why Disboard was putting up political ads on the site. I guess these ads are a result of a google feed that comes in that can't be filtered to a lot of specificity. I was just a little surprised to see any political advertising on the DIS.

Taking some time off work today to watch my son in his first school talent show. He's written a song he's going to perform. I can't wait to see it!

I remember your question!!! Very cool!

I hope you enjoyed the show. Will he let you post his song?

I'm taking tomorrow and Friday off (no reason other than if I don't take some PTO I'll stop accruing it). It's suppose to be pretty nice weather so I think I'll walk the trail instead of going to the gym. I just have to make sure I drink enough and watch the munchies that seem to haunt me when I'm at home.

 

[disney-inspired]

I went to the gym tonight (Wednesday)!
It felt good getting back to work.

 

[mommaU4]

I hope everyone has some nice numbers tomorrow. I know I won't. I fully expect to be up 4 or 5 pounds or more. It's been a rough week for some reason.

 

[disney-inspired]

I'm hoping whatever my weight is on Saturday that it goes DOWN.

 

[grizbuzz]

DS' talent show went very well. He sang his little song on a microphone in front of the whole school. So sweet. I'm glad I made it.

Work's progressing. Looking pretty likely that I am being reorg'ed to another group. Ultimately, I think I can live with that and who knows, it might open up new possibilities. Staying positive until I get through this.

Good luck with tomorrow's weigh in! I'm guessing I'll weigh about the same

Awww, that's so cute about your DS. I'm such a dork, I probably would have cried!

Glad to hear work seems to be going ok.

Well, today's weigh in came as no surprise. I am up 4 lbs from 214 to 218.

It's so scary and frustrating how easily the weight comes back on. I hate it. But it's my fault for overeating all week, not exercising even once, and not drinking my water.

I am happy to still be in the teens and still be able to hang onto my 45 lb banner. I hope this next week goes better.
