Girls Only Disneyland Trip!! Old thread. New link in first post

[wendylady36]

Thanks for reminding me Molly...

Thank you so much to everyone that participated in the Scavenger Hunt!

I wish everyone could have gotten first place (especially if all the first place people bought me a churro )

Melody, Dawn and myself had a lot of fun putting everything together and I know I'm looking forward to creating the scavenger hunt for next year!!!!

 

[bumbershoot]

I would love to know what resources you used to create it, so I can create one for hub+boy!

 

[wendylady36]

I'm feeling really fat now and bummed even more since I gained all the weight I lost last year.

I know how you feel, Cristabel! I've been e-mailing my friend all day about how fat and unhealthy I feel. I made plans with her to go walking and play tennis at least 2-3 times a week, starting next week. I'm ready to shed these extra pounds!

Have tons of fun at Disneyland for me!

Melody and I walked around the park and created the questions. I also looked at pictures I had taken on previous Disneyland trips.

If anyone wants a copy of the scavenger hunt list, I'd be happy to e-mail you the file.

Me three! This winter has been brutal for me (and the fall, and the summer, but I started losing in the summer and ruined it all this winter) with the repeated illness.

Thankfully it's *just* light enough when hubby gets off the train at night that Eamon and I can walk through downtown to meet him, which is about 2 miles round trip, and that's just what we did last night! I'm using mapmyrun dot com to keep track and I'm so excited that self-realization (in the form of just how much I'm avoiding looking at any pictures from this trip that include me) has finally hit at the RIGHT time, instead of when I am hallucinating with the flu and there's snow on the ground, ya know?

That's really good, Molly!
Last summer I would walk home from my summer camp job which was 2.5miles but I had to stop because it was 100+degrees and it would feel like I was having heatstroke! So I would come home and then go to the nice a/c gym. Or do laps at my aunt's pool

Thanks!

Oh, to have someone closeby with a pool....or a gym membership for that matter! There's a Y in walking distance, but it's a downtown/businessperson gym, and kids aren't welcome or allowed, and the one across town is insanely busy and I don't like it! Guess it's walking for me.

I'm feeling really fat now and bummed even more since I gained all the weight I lost last year. I'm going back to the gym today but I don't know how much I can do with my back pain. My roomies know that I had to practically crawl out of bed because my back was so bad. I messed up some nerve or something but sometimes I can barely put on my pants. I'm trying to not have to spend money and go to the chiropractor by swimming, it will help me lose weight and relieve the inflammation. A nice dip in the jacuzzi won't hurt either

Me four!!!

Even though I've lost about 20 pounds since last years ladies trip, I've got another 40 pounds to lose! I'm trying not to look at myself in the pics.....my face/neck still looks horribly CHUBBY! (sigh)

Well, since I lost 20 pounds since last year, maybe I'll lose another 20 pounds this year.

Maybe I should start running.....Jen would be so proud.

Capri, I'm already proud.
But, yes, I would love it if you started running.

Wendy, Cristabel, Molly, others: come on over to the WISH thread! I already have a couple exercise programs posted: one walk/run and one couch to 5k walking. Heck, if you ladies race through those, I've got some half marathon programs you can start on in a couple of months!

 

[wendylady36]

I need to start on that now if I even want to have a chance at surviving the 5k...as sad as that is.

Well I don't know about you guys but I am still absolutely EXHAUSTED LOL.

We got home REALLY late on Sunday night. Our plane didn't even get in till almost 11 and then I was still kind of hyped up so I tried to catch up on posts and then posted a TR etc. I FINALLY got to bed and I was "supposed" to work monday but I had SO much to do. I had TONS of laundry that was left from while I was gone (of course dh didn't touch it) and then a bunch of other stuff that needed to be taken care of.

Then Tuesday I had a doc apt and then I got a call that my OTHER doc had a cancellation and wanted me to come in wed morning. UGH. Plus they are messing with my meds and my other doc asked me on Thursday if I had started on the sleeping pill he had prescribed me right before we had left which I had NOT started taking cuz I didn't want to be groggy on the trip. And then when I got back I had actually forgotten I had LOL. So I was GOING to take it yesterday but I was supossed to do my weekly blood test today but then they called and told me to up my dose of my meds so the GOOD news was I didn't need to go in but the bad was I tried the Ambien but it really affected me weird. I was REALLY groggy this morning. I woke up and could hardly walk LOL.

I have been tired ALL flippin day. I am sure it is partly cuz I am STIL tired from the trip but still.

So anyway I went to my OTHER docs yesterday and then I had to go to work and I finally called my neuro for my referral but haven't heard back yet from them so we shall see about that. But I am just spinning from all thest stupid appts. I will be glad when the psych is done with his intake and gets these meds on a normal dose so I am done and can go down to just the one doc and 1 apt a week or every other week cuz it is getting exhausting AND expensive!!

Plus when we got home we found out that when Shane left Lynn home alone on Thurs and Friday while he was at work she stole money from us, used our phone and on and on. So we went and checked her room at my parents place and she snuck out one night and was drinking again and was stealing my mom's cell and texting and her paychecks aren't matching up so I think she is saying she is working and is not and going out and partying and doing drugs. I am SOOOO disgusted. You know it is funny because everyone said it was just the two of us but know she has been living with them for a few weeks and I haven't even been around her and she is STILL pulling this crap. My parents don't want to admit that they have been had but I told them (I told ya so!). So frustrating. They have managed to be home every weekend since she has been living there but this weekend she is giong to have to stay with us so I am not thrilled about the tension that is going to bring but we shall see.

Ah well I will have LOTS to talk about with my therapist next week!

Anyway I am off today just doing MORE laundry and cleaning up and TRYING to catch up on sleep and then tomorrow is work AGAIN and then Saturday we have our girl scout site sale.

Mom and Dad will be going to truckee so they will have to drop off lynn and I guess she will have to sit with us till she has to go to work and then Shane will take her so we will only have to deal with her at night after work and then sunday morning at church before she goes to work and then when she gets off hopefully my parents will be back from truckee.

I am just not ready for the confrontations right now.

Anyway that's my gig for now. I am jealous of all you guys trips.

I have to let my ap expire in June so IF I did the mini meet in Oct it would have to be on just a pass. Mom is trying to get the girls and I on a cheap cruise in August after swim team so no more Disney for awhile. Then I am thinking IF I buy another pass I would wait till the next BIG girls trip so that I could go on THAT one and then we would hopefully be able do a family trip in fall of 10 and then if I am lucky it would be good till the next ladies trip in 11. That way I would get 3 trips out of it! That is my hope. So we shall see.

Anyway that's all for me. I have a date with a laundry basket.

Putting off going to the WISH thread? Who would do such a thing?

Kelly~ I hope you have a good wknd. The teenage years are the hardest, so I have heard.

It's not scary.
WATCH IT!

Oh, also...got the guy who's working on the WDW marathon logo to mock one up for us. It stills needs a little ""tink"ing, but here's what we have so far. We can't do anything with it until the Podcast team and GKTW review and approve the use of logos, but just to get an idea of what we're working on...

 

[disney-inspired]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeth!
Where's the poll for next year's trip dates? I need something to plan

 

[mechurchlady]

No running for me as I just ate most of a bag of chips and some chocolate. I do not do prozac, I do food and no I do not feel better but I am happier when eating than waddling in pain on a treadmill.

Oh boy Kelly, sorry for all that. Hang in there and while you are at it will you take my laundry basket on a date too?

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeth!

You must have read my mind! (It's scary in there isn't it?) I was just going to start sending out PMs to the trip attendees from this trip about that, so keep an eye out.
