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

[mommaU4]

I weighed in today and was down 5 lbs....255. I really want to be below 250 for the trip! 4 more weeks!

Sarah

Wow! That's great news Sarah!!! You can totally do this!! Even if you only lose 2 lbs a week between now and then, that's 8 more pounds!! And I bet you can lose more then that even. But any loss, no matter how big or small, is a step in the right direction so pat yourself on the back for that.



Jen, love the Quote of the Day. Oh, and did you ever get my PM letting you know I received the thing you sent me in the mail?

 

[kelmac284]

Thanks so much Jen! I got my call last night from the admitting lady going over everything so I guess I am all set. I must admit I am a little nervous but I am glad to finally be getting it over with.

And congrats sarah!! I am SURE you will meet your goal by then!!

Good morning ladies!

We are up to 25 minutes of walking today. This weekend we have some longer walks, so start thinking about those fabulous hikes to savor.
I love hikes. Especially with the dog. She's always so excited and there's just no question as to whether or not we are having fun.

Beth: You have officially been reported as missing on the DL Girls Trip thread. Do we need to send out the police? Or the IT Geek Squad?

Sarah: Drink your water!

Capri: Time to check in!

Cristabel: Where or where are you? We miss you!

Everyone: Have a great day!

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
The greatest thing you have is the 24 hours in front of you.
The past is gone; the future is distant.
Today you CAN succeed.
Set a goal you can achieve in the next 24 hours.


You know...it's Thursday and according to the books and my trainer, post race depression was supposed to hit yesterday. I'm still bouncing of the walls. Do you think it could have anything to do with THREE upcoming Disney trips? WDW next week for 2 days, DCL 7 day Eastern starting V-Day, and then the LADIES TRIP! Woohoo!

No police or geeks needed. Some hot firemen would work though.

Love that quote and I've got my 24 hour goal!

So you've found the secret to no post race depression. Disney trips, and lots of them!

Hi Ladies!

It's Friday. Time to check in. I weigh the same. No gain. No loss. I did a LOT of exercise on Sunday, but nothing since. But I wasn't supposed to, so it's all good.

Here's the lone QUOTE OF THE DAY

Only One Pound

Hello, do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat,
And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

Happy Friday!

It's Friday!!! TGIF everyone!

Well, despite eating a huge cinnamon roll last night and eating fast food on my crazy Wednesday, I am down from 215.4 to 213. 8 for a loss of 1.6 lbs.

I'll take any loss at this point!!! (and thanks to Jen's quote I will try to never say "it's only a pound" again! LOL)

Have a good one ladies!!

 

[mommaU4]

Oh, and I added my weight loss DIS banner back into my sig.
I took it out and realized it helped me before. I started with only a small banner, the 15 pounds one I think, and loved watching it jump up with each 5 pounds I lost, so I added it back in hopes it will motivate me!

So will you! You've been doing amazing!

 

[bigskyernurse]

I weighed in this morning at 227.0. 3 lbs down since last Friday for a total loss of 16.5 lbs for the month. I can totally live with that, especially since that only leaves 3.5 lbs to lose before the trip to meet my mini-goal! Wooohooo.

I was worried about this weigh in because my week has been crazy and I haven't exercised since Sunday. Really bummed about that because I was very good about doing 4-5 times a week before that. But its just been such a bad week. I cam home early today and I am all dressed and ready to exercise as soon as I log off! Hopefully I can get back on track.

Congrats to everyone on their losses!

Wear your DIS banner with pride. You've done SO well! I really believe in this visualization stuff. I'n the beginning of the year, I put a runner on my wall. Didn't really know I wanted to run yet, but just wanted to be healthy like that. And less than a year later... Also have tinkerbell ladies trip and the castle on my wall... Got to have the visualization board.

Geesh Ladies. Just sat down for the first time. What a day!


Had to go back and edit my post because it was just to cranky and in bad taste. Hope you didn't read it.

Anyhow, down either two or three pounds, which I'll take. I'm very proud of all of you and your accomplishments! We are achieving our goals ladies! Doesn't it feel awesome! Yeah Divas!

Smilies from Nathan whom I am off to stick in bed. Night!

Thanks so much! But I should be thanking you....your quotes and exercise reminders are so motivating! And then the marathon and the pics....I can't even imagine doing something like that but I'm really starting to love exercising so who knows where it will take me!

Thanks again...

 

[kelmac284]

Congrats to one and all. I haven't really been doing anything and it bums me out that it is already almost the middle of february and I haven't really done much but NOW that my surgery is over I hope to finally be able to start something. I told Shane that I hope to start working out this coming monday. Don't know how that is going to work having him hanging around but we shall see. I have been bouncing back and forth between 155 and 153 depending on what I eat but that is typical. I hope that once I actually start exercising it will come off and STAY off. I go back to my uro on Friday to find out what is next and hopefully he will treat me with meds and not more surgery so that I can keep with my workouts and not have to stop what I am doing again.

I also know that when we go on our trip that it is going to be a little bump in the road cuz I don't plan on watching what I eat on that trip either. BUT I will jump right back on the band wagon once we get back!

I REALLY want this and I am happy that I have at least been able to stay at this weight all this time WITHOUT exercising at least. Eventhough I fluctuate almost daily I know it has to do with how much I eat and salt intake etc. I know that I am closer to the lower number and when it goes up a bit it is because of retaining some water etc. So I am not too worried. I also know that once I start working out it will hopefully stay off and it might even go up a bit at first because I might be adding some muscle which weighs more.

But eventually it will go back down.

I just want to see how far I can take this! I still have some stuff on the old thighs that I want to get rid of or at least firm up and same with the arms and waistline so we shall see.

My immediate goal for now is 10 lbs and then we will go from there.

Anyway great job all and I hope to be able to say that I am losing soon as well and KEEPING it off!

You are doing fine Kelly. You just had surgery so right now you just need to focus on taking the best care of yourself as possible.

 

[daisy_77]

Wow, everyone is doing great!!

I just got back from weigh-in. I am down .2 pounds and i will take it happily! I am hitting my TOM and I ALWAYS gain. Plus, I have not been counting points for the past 2 weeks. Just winging it and hoping that I am not screwing up too much. I have just been stressed at work and school, so my weight loss has taken the back seat. I refocusing today and hope to stay focused.

Congrats to all the losers.

 

[bigskyernurse]

You are doing fine Kelly. You just had surgery so right now you just need to focus on taking the best care of yourself as possible.

I completely agree! Hang in there Kelly! Once you are ready, it will happen. Just the fact that you've maintained with everything going on is awesome!
