Welcome back Grannyminnie! I am so glad you enjoyed that cheesecake! I knew you would

Ladies, I just wanted to say I may not be able to sit at the computer for the next couple of days! I am now doing a step class that a trainer friend of mine teaches and tonight was the first night My butt is gonna hurt in the morning, so if i'm AWOL for a few days you know why!

Seriously, I LOVED the class! I did a step class and even taught a beginners class at my church before kids! I really didn't forget much and was able to keep up with the instructor until we got to double time lunges off the back of the step, yikes! I got to loose 40lbs and I know i'm gonna start dropping big time now!

GrannyMinnie!!! Glad you had a fun time! Sorry it was short. Wow!! I am gonna have to give that cheesecake a try. I couldn't fit desset in lst time. I promised myself to drop 25lbs by my summer trip and that trip is my reward and my motivation and it's working. I have been awesomely good. I am weighing in tomorrow....cross your fingers everybody for me that I dropped at least 2 lbs, becasue I can tell ya if I didn't I will be seriously disturbed. I just went for my second walk of today and i live in a hilly area so it's a hike. Sorry you didn't win anything......those people were in hiding during our Easter trip, too. That is funny about the stuffed animal lady....glad you saw her too! See, I wasn't telling tales. AND you saw tangled sweaters! Too much. Kristin, get your tangled sweaters ready for Pop! Show 'em how it's done.

So...oh ya, anyway...it is looking like the October trip at the great rate may fall to the wayside....in reality I just can't take DS (senior in hs next fall) out for 4 days. Not sure....maybe if we shorten it because he does have a Friday off, but we won't be doing BOTH those trips....i just like to see those tickers there. Makes me feel good. Or bad...if I have to cancel one. Whatever! The thought of a summer trip is totally my diet motivation so maybe I am fooling myself, but it is working!

Mandy! You go, girl!!! I am right there with ya. That's awesome about your step class. Hope the tushy isn't too sore tomorrow!! We'd miss ya here.

Kelly - so....what's the verdict?? Are ya going???? I HOPE SO!!! Have a GREAT TIME! Hope that little man is OK.

Welcome back grannyminnie, glad you had a nice trip.

I guess I am going to have to buy some good tangling sweaters before our next trip

Hope Anty is feeling better Kelly!

Welcome back grannieminnie....glad you had a good time!

 

[grannyminnie]

Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take it by the ticker comment that bounceback was successful
As for "the other people" I guess that means us wenches???

Well, yes and no to the Bounceback. I tried twice, and the CM would have transferred it, if it had been available, but she said the WL was not available, not even concierge!
I would have switched to the GF or Poly, but we're going with my other sis and her fam. and she has her heart set on staying at the WL when it's decorated for Christmas.
I did add a day on the beginning of mine and my sister's stay but had to take the AKL at 30% off. I fear most of those 30% rooms at the Deluxes are about gone by now. I was soooo bummed that I couldn't get that extra discount.
Channing, I know what ya mean about having those tickers down there. Hope you get to keep your summer trip. That would be motivation for me to lose weight.
(you better, so you can get that heavenly cheesecake!)

Hey GrannieMinnie - Welcome back!!! I am so happy you had a great trip. I can't wait to go, I feel like I am waiting forever. We only go once a year and we try to stay as long as we can!!!

I am glad you enjoyed Narcoossee's, there was a bad review while you were gone. I wasn't going to change my ressie unless you told me I should.

I heard the GF Cafe has great chocolate fondue!! We're having breakfast there doubt that the fondue will be on the menu!!

 

[WishesQueen]

My ticker hit 3 months!!

ok well hes up this am and theres no rash on his legs or back but a small new patch on his arms. He has no fever. I dont really know what to do. I mean hes fine, eating, going to the bathroom, and hes not crabby. The ER called to follow up and they said that if he doesnt have a fver hes ok and it takes time to work thru his system. I am calling the doctor at 830am.

 

[princessesrule4]

grannyminnie- - glad you had a great trip! The cheesecake sounds wonderful! Another poster didn't have a good experience so I'm glad you did. Must have been an off night while she was there.

Kelly, Hope your little guy is feeling well enough to go today! Thats great that there is no fever and a lot of his rash is gone. Hope the Dr. has some good insight for you this morning.

Lives4disney,
Sounds like you have been good this week! Hope you have at least a 2 pound loss for your reward!

I, however, have completed plateaued! My weight has not moved in 2 weeks ! I've tried changing up my diet, changing up my exercise -NOTHING HELPS! I'm sooooo frustrated - but I'm not throwing in the towel. I'm doing that SELF magazine challenge - so I'm off to see what advice they have!

Good luck Kelly! Remember the sun, heat and excitement might make his rash worse. Did they figure out what caused it? The no fever thing is a really good sign!!!!
Scarlet fever can be a real pain to deal with ... let alone while on vacation!!!!

Hope your lil guy is feeling better. See what the doctor thinks and go from there. Just think the Disney Doc is only a call away! We had to use them one year...the bill was outrageous but our insurance covered it. Hope all is well and you get to enjoy your trip!

I hope you are able to leave for your trip tonight, Kelly! And hope the little guy feels much better. How is his attitude? Which of the seven dwarfs would best describe him?

grannyminnie- I am glad you had a great trip! Welcome back!

Kelly- I hope you have a great trip! If the ER says your good to travel, you shouldn't have any problems.

Hopefully everyone is doing well on WW. This nice weather has been helpful. I lost 1.5lb this week. Good luck to everyone else working on it!

 

[Lives4Disney]

I lost 3 lbs this past week!! YAY!! I am not totally disturbed today! I am even more motivated!!!!! It looks like a yucky rainy day here, though, and I have Lucy home sick so not sure about getting my walk in. Good thing I had two yesterday.

Kelly, I hope you go. Anty would probaby be happier at WDW with a rash than lying around at home with a rash. Have a ball - you have to stop at the GF just for a little visit with Vonnie. Have Chris and the boys go up to the lounge and hang and relax while you chat. I know she'd really want to visit with you.

Soooo..........who watched "The Bachelor" last night? I deleted my post lst night because they really had me going with the fake parents and all.....

OMG...Annette, she does have the SAME thing that Lucy has....
Thanks for the heads up to watch it.

I watched it. The part with the fake parents got a little out of hand. I have watched on and off all season. Who is the blonde girl? Her dad looks like the guy on Bold and the Beautiful.

I haven't watched The Bachelor lately but was flipping through and saw it - that guy is CUTE! Very charming and poised but he seems down to earth,too. I can't believe the one girl hired actors as her parents - too funny. When the "mom" was grabbing his chest in the previews - I thoought " well her chances are gone - she's going to kill her mom for ruining it with him!"
I wasn't sure how he( Matthew?) would take it but he seemed to admire her and like her even more for that prank!

Congrats on your weight loss!

 

[Alicnwondrln]

ok I am off to the doctor to make sure he is okay. He seems fine but I have to make sure.
