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

[mommaU4]

My weigh in was today and since I was gone last week at the convention I was very cautiously optomistic and the total weight loss for the two weeks was 2.4!!! I'm really close to the 55 banner. I'm hoping I can keep this pattern going for the next couple of months. I'm almost back down to my lowest weight loss. I'm hoping to hit below 200 before Thanksgiving (and then stay lower throughout the holidays). It's going to be tough.

Way to go!!!!!!! That's great and I know you will make your goal. Keep up the great work!!

Hi ladies!

Work's been more than crazy lately, but I did want to stop by and say hi

And to let you know that I didn't forget the

Thich Nhat Hanh

So, don't forget to smile!

Lovely smile, Beth.

Happy Weigh In Day! And Halloween too! I am down 3 lbs this week! I am very excited! Sorry I haven't been around much. This is my 13th day in a row at work and within those 13 days I had a couple of doubles as well. I think I get tomorrow off! Here's to hoping!

Awww, Sarah, I hate that you have to work so hard!! But you must really be raking in the bucks!!!! In March you'll probably be staying at the Grand Californian instead of the HoJo!!! LOL



I'm down this week, but not much. I went from 218 to 216.4 so I lost 1.5 lbs.
Slowly, sooooo slowly but surely I am creeping my way towards that elusive 200 lbs!!!

Have a great day all!!

 

[wendylady36]

Congratulations on the weight loss, Sarah and Beth!!

I didn't get a chance to weigh myself yet, busy busy morning. I'll post my weight tomorrow. I'm hoping to be down at lest .5 lbs.

Have a Happy Halloween everyone and stay safe!

You can do it Wendy!

Congrats to Beth & Sarah for losing weight!

I'm up 1/2 lb. Funny what happens when you eat candy and cut down on exercising.

Hope you are all having a wonderful evening!

I decided not weigh myself again this week because I didn't work out at all (stupid cold/cough). I'll be starting working out again on Monday!!! and I'll weigh in next Saturday. It's rainy and cold right now and I have NO clothes clean to wear to the gym to weigh myself.

My mom says it shouldn't be too bad because I haven't eaten much. I hope so.

 

[mommaU4]

Bleh! Despite my best intentions, I'm ill from candy over load. Oh well, what's done is done. Just got to get back on track!!! I keep saying that but it's true. What else can ya do but keep on keeping on!

Have a good weekend everyone!

 

[grizbuzz]

Happy Saturday!

I'm loaded with sugar too. And because of the rain, we had a lot fewer trick or treaters than anticipated, so I have a HUGE caldron of candy still in the house. Plus a dozen cup cakes (and I used your frosting recipe Beth - thanks )I'm going to have to figure out how to dispose of the sweets QUICKLY, before I eat all the goodies.

We had a great night last night. My DH turned the house into Halloweentown
and was Oogie Boogie. Here are some pictures if you're interested.

I did do an exercise class today. It made me feel SO much better. Now I'm feeling a little worse again. I think I have a slight bug I've got to get over.

That frosting recipe was super easy huh? LOL

I feel ill. I've eaten so much junk. I didn't even feel this way in DL with all the treats we had. Mainly because we shared them all I guess.

Your house is AWESOME!!!! WOW! Love it. Love the costumes too. I bet yours was the most popular house around!! Sorry about the rain though.

No rain here. We had lots of kids and got rid of all the candy we got from Disney. And then some. But the kids still have their stash, and we have some Halloween cookies left. Ugh.

Ruben did our house too but in a more scary way. Graveyard, skeletons, strobe lights, fog machines, then a pumpkin patch, and a bunch of other things. He had fun. Everyone liked it. Next year I told my two older kids to be prepared because I want to take them to Knotts Scary Farm. I wanted to this year, but they were still too scared. I love that kind of stuff. lol

Congratulations!!!
Great Job!

I got some new running shoes and believe that my "rest from running" period is now over. My trainer doesn't have anytime to meet with me this week, so I'm not sure what my new training schedule is, but I'm pretty sure it's time to GET OFF THE COUCH and OUT OF THE CANDY BOWL!

Work is crazy lately. Working very hard to get a position in this merged company. Send pixie dust!

I hear ya on the get off the couch and out of the candy bowl part!! I really need to re-focus on my goals. I've been off track for at least part of the day EVERYDAY SINGLE DAY for the last week.

So now I am trying to start fresh. I would love to start off the New Year weighing 199. I want to be below 200 so bad!! So that's my goal. My Christmas/New Year goal is to lose the 17 lbs I need to be below 200.

Anyone else setting any Christmas goals?? Come on, we need something to focus on to get us past all the stuffing, pumpkin pies, Christmas cookies, etc.

 

[wendylady36]

Thanks girls! I really, really, really want to stick with it this time, especially with Vegas coming up.

I hope you all got rid of your Halloween candy, and no I don't mean by eating it. Lets all resist temptation this week...or at least try to!

Heres hoping I don't fall off of the wagon again.

 

[disney-inspired]

Ok, birthdays are officially over!

I'm back on the bandwagon as of right now..11:04. I just had some of my cake but there is only one piece left and it's going to someone else.

I'll be heading back to the gym today, finally! I'm actually very happy about this because these two weeks went to hale when I got this cold/flu/sinus infection. I've finally stopped coughing!

My goal is to be 218 by mid to late December. That's another 20lbs I want to lose. I'd love to be under 200 by January 2009 but it seems like a longshot. Thankfully (or is it bad?) I don't work at all this week so there is nothing to interrupt my exercising and eating healthy plans.

Good luck girls!
