Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 4

[BlueSkies]

Mare Thanks for the DVD info As for that Health Guide....I dont want to know how many calories I'm eating when I'm on vacation... JK...

Wonder how many calories that yummy almond cheese cake at Narcoosees is....

We like chicken soup too....my kids love it when I add the tiny meatballs to it...

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Thank you so much fro the recap i was seriously upset i missed it!

Rescripting! Exactly..... it is still reality TV and they control how we see the contestants with editing. I still don't like Joelle

If they keep up with the rescripting you will. They really did a 180 with her yesterday and you found yourself cheering for her... surprising, I know!!

I am starting to get annoyed by Tara though...

BlueDeb: I add mini meatballs to my Beef Barley Soup

I'm just really curious how they recommend you diet in WDW! One cannot live on celery sticks alone when you have schoolbread, kringla, German pretzels, quiche, eclairs, Grey Goose Slushies, etc.... around!! I LOVE to snack my way around Epcot!

I still feel the burn from that DVD workout. My legs are killing me! In a good way!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I do not diet in WDW. At all. I watch my calories the other 50 weeks our of the year, but never on vacation. The most I have ever gained is 3 pounds in 10 days, and it fell off pretty quick once I got back home and back into a rountine.

I've heard the gals at WW rave about Leslie Sansone and her walk away the pounds DVDs. So last summer (yes SUMMER!) I bought the DVD at Walmart and never did it. For some reason it wouldn't play on my DVD player at the house. So I just found it recently and brought it back to the city. And I just played it today I really like it. It's really basic but surprisingly effective. The weight balls that are included are useless. I couldn't get them to fill with water so I just used my own weights. I like that all three workouts are on one DVD.

My girlfriend used those after she had her first child 16 years ago . She loved them . I've got a couple of Leslie Sansone's workouts from about 14 years ago . I always used to do the Denise Austin workouts . Being I can't get myself to get another gym membership and actually GO......I may look into some of those .

YOU DON'T . "Diet" is a dirty word when at Disney .

 

[hobbester]

I love that video. I ordered it a few weeks ago from Netflix and have not sent it back yet (I need to burn it to a dvd). I did it 2 days in a row I could feel the burn from the day before. Like you said, it really doesn't feel like a workout, the music does get on my nerves, so I turn it down also. Have you done the 2 mile yet? She steps it up a little. Keep up the good work, I'm going to go home and do it tonight - Lisa.

Snow day!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all...I am bored....feeling ADHD today...totally distracted with everything.

I am ready to leave for FL, but glad that it is NEXT wednesday instead of today...half the flights out of New England are cancelled today. UGH!

I think I will go pack...sitting here is making me nuts. LOL Still no word on a job for hubby...That has me feeling a little nuts. And he is making me nuts.

I totally feel for the two of you with post-op hubbies...they are bad enough being under foot all day- I can't imagine underfoot and injured! You have my sympathies.

Ok- i will be back later to say hi....i know this was a sucky post- sorry.

 

[PrincessPaczki]

Mare - I really like the Leslie DVD that she has out. I like using my own weights also.

The Disney Health guide looks interesting. I'll have to stop by B and N and check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[mickeynut1]

Hey Shel . I've been thinking about ya . I hope things are going ok. Go do a little packing....that might keep ya busy . I hope you hear some good news for your hubby soon .


Almost forgot.....I like your new avatar

Kristin You are the will power girl! I dont diet at WDW either...or most of the other weeks of the year...

I think I'm going to have to look into the DVD and the book...DD and I spend lots of time at B&N...

I almost forgot how to multi quote!!! Its been a while...

I am out of the loop with Biggest Loser and most of the other reality shows... gimme the old sitcoms any old time...

Except now when the kids are watching ROL...cant help myself...it cracks me up...all I can think is...is this for real... is it the twilight zone!!!!

Dawn and Maxie How are those DHs...hope all is going well.....and your guys are on the mend....

These new smilies are driving me crazy....where is the hair standing straight up scared smilie when I need it....

BTW snow is gone...now its pouring....sure wish I was in Disney....

 

[BlueSkies]

Sheli Love your new avatar.... Wednesday will be here before you know it...

 

[Maxie86]

Dawn, wishing your DH a speedy recovery. As much for you as for him.

We spent over 5 hours at the Dr.'s office today. The pressure in his eye was very high and they were trying to get it down. It came down a little, but is still very high. We have to go back tomorrow morning. At least we could see a Dr. on the Cape and I don't have to into Boston. I don't mind driving on the Cape, but I do not do Boston. Anybody that has ever been there will understand. He now has 5 different eye drops and a pill to take. I don't know how we are going to keep them straight.

I have never seen ROL, I'm going to have to check it out sometime so I know what you are talking about.

Sheli, sorry you are having a bad day. Hope your DH finds something soon. Husbands, sick, injured or well should not be allowed home during the day.

 

[BlueSkies]

Maxie Hope you get better news tomorrow....I agree...sick injured on vacation whatever...they should not be allowed to stay home....

I have driven in Boston...its crazy its such a nice city to walk around in though...and the Cape...just beautiful....too bad its not summer...you could get in some beach time...

Oh ya ROL!!! what a show.... ask your DS he probably watches it...

 

[Lives4Disney]

Maxie, that is terrible. I hope it gets better.....I know you are suffering right along with your DH, too.....probably more. Let's hope tomorrow things improve a bit.

What is ROL?? What did I miss??? Are you guys talking ROCK OF LOVE?? If so...Sheli has a new better & much more fitting name for it. If it's ROCK OF LOVE BUS I can tell you what it is. You would like it.......


Hope everybody is staying warm and having a nice day.

I am so cold. I don't remember being this cold last year.

TTYL!

Chan
GF GAL on the GO!

 

[Maxie86]

Thanks BlueSkies. Yes, Boston is a great walking city. It is always easier to walk somewhere than try to drive.

I just got the LL Bean spring catalog. It really is coming.

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

Thanks for the good wishes Maxie, Blue and Deb! He has had 3 interviews with one company- he really thinks this might be THE job. I hate to get my hopes up though- I don't take disappointment well.

and Maxie "Husbands, sick, injured or well should not be allowed home during the day." LMAO I totally agree!!! I hope DH's eye pressure goes down- how scary!

ROL is really called Big B@@B Bus OR Booze-n-B@@B Bus (a whole new meaning for BBB)

Thanks for all the nice comments about the new avatar- it is the back of my new hoodie for next week's trip. I LOVE THE NEW HOODIE!!!! (This is what happens when Disney obsessed moms head to Disney without kids to buy cute clothes for...someone has to be shopped for!!! My turn! LOL)

 

[BlueSkies]

Channing That is the show I was talking about alright...and I think Sheli you got it right with the new name....

Sheli Hope this job is the one and you can put all the worry behind you...

You February gals are going to look adorable!!! Why not some special clothes for the moms....

Maxie I got the catalog too...aleady have a few pages marked with things that I NEED.....

OK I should be cooking but instead I'm chatting...whats new...

 

[tete01830]

Boy, what a day! DD lost her cookies and I feel terrible because I thought she was faking all day! What is it with my household??? I am not breathing!

Oh my Maxie..I hope he gets better...Does he have to keep his head elevated? That is a pain for sleeping! I hope he is better!

I cant watch ROLB because I will be sucked in and I hate that I get sucked into that show!

I cant wait to go to bed tonight! I have washed all my sheets, blankets and comforter! It is hard work I tell ya...I have King sheets and it takes a few different washes to get them all done! But ahhhh the smell of Downey April Fresh just does something for me! I tell DH all the time if he wants to do something for me someday, he could wash the sheets and put in extra Downey! LOL No flowers just clean sheets!

I love my Hoodie! My back is blank but I wish I got Sheli's back! Oh well...there is always next time!

I'm with you Blue...I hate the new smilies! I look for this guy all the time! and this guy oh and this guy ! At least this one is handy...

 

[mickeynut1]

Maxie......I'm sorry today wasn't the best of news for DH at the doctor .....I hope he gets better news when he goes back tomorrow . I agree about DHs......they should NOT be allowed home during the day .

Siobhan.....I agree on the sheets......it takes so long to get the king sets washed . Both DSs have queen beds....which aren't as bad as the kings.....but they are still big....I just can't get away from those huge sheet sets . I'm sorry your DD got sick today......I hope she's feeling better .


Shel......Here's hoping those 3 interviews are good news very soon .


I better check on dinner......catch you gals later .
