Girls Trip #1 (check in daily for any plans being finalized or changes/updates)

[daisy_77]

I don't know what you do at a WW meeting but good luck. What, pizza isn't on the WW diet?!

Maybe I should join WW? I have a very stubborn 20 pounds that won't go away, which doesn't sound too bad, except I'm only 5'3" tall, so 20 pounds on me makes me look pretty chubby. Ah well, there's more of me to love.

You'll hate my friend Cathy when you see her.....she's a total hard body. She bikes, walks, skis (downhill and cross country), hikes, does yoga, pilates, you name it, she does it. She'll tell me she's going on a little bike ride, so later in the day I'll ask her how far she rode.......30 miles! That's a little bike ride for her!!! Oh, if only I could be like that. I mean, oh sure, I could do a yoga class with her (which I have), but I'm the type of woman who celebrates afterwards with a couple of beers and a cigarette (okay, not a cigarette, but more like a plate of nachos).

Pizza is allowed....just not three slices. Add a breadstick and a piece of dessert...um, yeah...that is not good. Especially since I am retaining water as it is. Is that TMI? I love WW, I have been doing it for a couple of years. I still have some weight to lose but I don't stick to the plan 100% like I should. I am off and on. It is great cuz you can eat what you like but just portion controlled. I waited too long to eat yesterday and when it was time to eat I was hungry like a wolf.

Before I had Maddie I could eat whatever and still stay pretty slender. What happened??

ETA: I gained 2.6 pounds

2.6 pounds isn't too bad when you're retaining water. I gain about 4 pounds every month myself due to water retention. Luckily that 4 pound gain is short lived. Now I'm giving TMI.

I don't know what happens to our bods and metabolism after having babies. All I know is that it isn't pretty.

Belle, if you wanted to join me on Sat. and Sunday, that would work. I'm not exactly sure if Stacerita will be in the room or not on Sat. My friend will probably be there. Neither one will be there Sunday night. We have the 2 queen plus a rollaway for the entire time. And, I'm bringing the air mattress just in case. Thursday and Friday are pretty full, but I'd be happy to have you on Sat and Sun. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer I already book a room but if no takers in joining me I do not bite will probably take you up on the offer since it means more money for souvenirs

Mmm Mmmmmmmm good, and I'm not talkin about the soup!

Just finished watching the season premier of LOST with dh. We dvr'd it last night. I have a real love/hate relationship with that show. Anyone else here watch?

Well, I'm off to bed. Night all!

I've only watched one or two episodes of LOST when it first aired. There was some kind of creature or monster on the island, and that's when it lost me. LOL

Well pooh with a capital "P".....Pooh!!!!!

I leave the boards for a few hours and what happens?!?! It's like a smiley-filled-nasty-feet-croc-lovin-non-date-night-doc-McDreamy PARTY!

Did my invitation get lost in the mail?

Well, that will teach you to leave the boards!

I am on my way out to go to my WW meeting. I KNOW I gained. My parents are visiting this weekend and my nephew spent the night so I did not feel like cooking. We ordered lots of pizza, breadsticks and the dessert cinnamon thingy. Not smart to have all that the night before weigh-in.

I will BBL!

Aw hang in there. You can do it.

 

[mommaU4]

Hi ladies.

I've been doing lots of cleaning and cooking this morning so far. Now I'm tired and full. LOL

I hope you're all having a good week end so far.

 

[mommaU4]

Okay, I've received enough responses now to go ahead and post.....I still haven't heard from many yet. Anyone can PM me and let me know more/updated info.

Michelle, thanks for doing this. I posted a link to your post on the first page under the name list.

So as more people respond to you, you can simply go back and update your initial post and that way it will always be current. Does that work for you?

Hey ladies! I just noticed that the DCA Food and Wine Weekends will be taking place while we are there--not sure if anyone is interested but who knows?

My friends going are just waiting for all the info on Food & Wine to be released. They are big on walking around and nibbling on stuff at WDW and doing an event or two.

Not sure if it's the same as at WDW--the info is being released on Feb. 15th--apparently there are some "ticketed" events.

Califgirl/Chris told us it was a smaller 'event'. I could see that, they don't have all of Epcot to fill. rofl

I think the 'ticketed' events will not be my thing. (pricey and not my kind of thing..I'm not a foodie nor do I like wine) However, I do like to look at all the menus in hopes I find something that I'd like to try.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Oh sure, there's a big ol' party here on the ladies thread last night, but no one to be seen here tonight!

Well, I guess I'll go have a beer.....by myself (sniff-sniff-sigh).

 

[21yankees]

I'm here but won't be for long. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow...driving a bit for the Playhouse thing. Enjoy your beer and have a good night.

Have a good time at the Playhouse live show. My kids are past that age, but I still catch them watching Playhouse Disney sometimes in the morning. But don't tell their friends .

 

[daisy_77]

The Playhouse Disney show will be here on Friday. DH and I talked about it and decided not to go. It would be $91 for all three of us to go. That is a lot of money for us right now. I was sad because she loves all those characters and I felt guilty. DH made a good point that we are saving money so we can take her back to WDW....which is far better than just one show. It STILL makes me sad, though.

 

[mommaU4]

Hello ladies! It's cold, windy and drizzling here today. I am loving it. We don't get enough of that kind of weather here so I want to enjoy it lasts.

January, I'm sorry about not being able to go to the Playhouse Disney. You're DH is right though. Put that money towards a big WDW trip later on. I know it sucks though. When it comes to my kids I want to do so much more then we can actually afford.

Well, I just wanted to pop in and say hi.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Everyone have a great Super Bowl Sunday!!!

Hi, Beth! I am glad to hear you all are getting a little rain. I am sure that area could use some.

Thanks for the comment about the show. Sometimes it helps to hear other people understand. It really is a silly thing to be upset over, I guess. My DD is only 3. She has no idea she is even missing it. Plus, she has been luckier than most 3 year olds----she has been to WDW and DL. I should just be grateful for that.

Enjoy your day and we will see ya later.

Love the smileys! I hope you enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday, too!
