Wow! You guys have been awfully chatty of late. I guess I'll just have to keep up as much as possible.

I was asleep by 11 and wide awake by 6 am.

Sounds like me every morning. It doesn't matter what time I get to bed (10 pm, 11 pm, 2 am)I can't sleep after 7 am.

And that's even on the weekends.

 

[rentayenta]

That's my problem--even after looking in the mirror, I still eat the waffle.

I am one binge away from gaining back all 21 lb.

To DL, or to In-N-Out Burger?

I am so checked out, sorry. I will totally meet for In n Out.

Maybe they're wound up about the trip too? I hope all is well!

I was thinking more along the lines of spoiled ingrates but I like your answer better.

Boy have ya'll been chatty. I just feel the excitement in the air. I wouldn't be able to sleep either.

one knocks me out in about 30 minutes. but i'm not sure how many milligrams it is. plus your tolerance may be higher than mine.

I will try two. Why would my tolerance be higher?

Wooohooo

Crazy ain't it!

It's close trip excitement.

And that's even on the weekends.

I can't sleep past 7 but I usually am not wide awake at 6 am either. Tonight I predict and even later bedtime unless Dawn's idea works.

Congrats on the 21 lbs--that's so great! Since was born, my willpower has been zero. I just haven't been able to get my act together--any helpful hints?

Woohoo! I've never been there before so you can share the joy with me.

Have they gotten better?

I wish I was like that. I struggle to be up by nine.

Jenny, where have your trip companions gone? I miss them!

It's 1:00am my time and I am not even close to sleeping!

We have teacher appreciation day tomorrow & I am busy cooking up a storm! I have the two trays of Baklava done & am halfway through the chocolate covered strawberries. I will make the sauce for the spinach salad tonight, but will assemble it tomorrow. Plus I have cantalope & pineapple to cut up. I could use your insomnia right now Jenny!

After 7:00 tomorrow night I can finally look forward to this trip with nothing else to do! (Except buy new sneakers and alcohol.)

I better get back to work so I can get to bed by 2, but I wanted to say Hi!

I'll try to check in tomorrow night!

 

[jenna]

Oh, and I checked the weather forecast......HOT!!!

Sunny and 95 for the first few days. Scattered T-storms by Wednesday and down to 90.

Love it!!!

Poor Jenna! I feel so sorry for you. I really hope they appreciate you. Oh, you've made me really hungry!

 

[rentayenta]

Move more, smaller portions, not eating "diet" food.

Have they gotten better?

They all went to bed early. Out of sight means better.

Jenny, where have your trip companions gone? I miss them!

DIS haters!

I was up too. We should have called.

Sounds delicious. I think I might have catered some of it. I am sure they will love it. Don't let them eat all of the baklava!

I thought you were skipping the PTO meeting? Alcohol. Keds?

I am so spun, I am adding days!!!



I was up at 6 am watering the veggie garden.

 

[2ScottishPrincesses]

I think Jenny's right about 10am should be perfect, don't forget to send someone off to get you all FP's whilst you're in there

Love how you put that Oh and tha August hours are up now

OMG I'd better make sure my friend who is calling on Friday phones Virgin and gets the correct ressie number!

Thanks Jo

I was getting a bit bent out of shape watching for park hours as I have been keeping an eye on a couple of the threads that were watching for them coming out...it felt very similar to being part or the angry mob in Beauty and the Beast

Congrats on the 21 lbs--that's so great! Since was born, my willpower has been zero. I just haven't been able to get my act together--any helpful hints?

I've lost 39lbs since January by doing the Paul McKenna thing and exercising if that's any help. Very very easy, like Jenny says portion control, eat when you hungry, eat what you want to and stop when you're full, and a couple of other wee rules, believe me if I can do it anyone can.

Very jealous, the weather here is cold, windy and wet...paging summer, where are you summer??????

So right, who needs Paul McKenna when Jenny sums it up so well

Wowzers darling- that's awesome! What are the other tips? Who is Paul McKenna?


Stepped on the scale this morning and I am officially down 22 lbs! Now keeping it off will be a struggle on vacation. My plan is to:

• refrain from soda
• stop when full
• walk, walk, walk
• limit sweets or at least just have a bite or 2, no complete desserts
• once off the DDP order kids meals
• save calories for booze

 

[passthepixiedust]

Wow! Jenny and Kirsteen!!! 22 and 39 pounds?!?!?!? You guys are officially my heros!

When exactly do you leave Jenna? Saturday morning? I can't wait to see you!

Hi Bev! You getting excited about Disneyland? Eat a bacon wrapped asparagus skewer for me! I LOOOOOOOVE those things!

Hi everyone else! I am starting to get out-of-control excited, but a little sad about leaving the kids too. Lucas and Spencer came to my room and asked me how many airplanes I would be on before coming home. I told them 4. They looked concerned and I said, "what's wrong?" Luke asked, "what if one crashes?". I feel so bad causing them anxiety.

 

[DisneyJo]

I agree Jenny and Kirsteen you're awesome

Jenny, Paul McKenna is a hypnotist here and has written lots of books including a diet one, he has CD's too


BTW have you seen I got a Mother's Day pressie from WDW? A robe from the castle suite!!!!

 

[rentayenta]

Wow! Jenny and Kirsteen!!! 22 and 39 pounds?!?!?!? You guys are officially my heros!

Call me crazy but I believe you are the running queen, down some pounds yourself.

When exactly do you leave Jenna? Saturday morning? I can't wait to see you!

Since she is not here I will tell you: she leaves tomorrow!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry sweetie. I do know how you feel but take heart, you just took them and you have a trip planned with them.

How cool that WDW sent you a Mother's Day gift. They must be holding mine for my arrival.


A hypnotist? Now I have to google him!!!!

 

[passthepixiedust]

That is SO cool!

Call me crazy but I believe you are the running queen, down some pounds yourself.

I run constantly, I watch what I eat and you have officially lost more weight than me! I got stuck 5 pounds above my goal and am going nowhere!

Since she is not here I will tell you: she leaves tomorrow!!!!!!!!

TOMORROW?!?!?!? And you are the day after tomorrow and we are the day after that!

I am so sorry sweetie. I do know how you feel but take heart, you just took them and you have a trip planned with them.

I know, and they are ALL being super cool about us going without them. I TOLD them how awesome they were acting about it and S said, "well, I wish I was going to, but...." lol. They are only worried that something will happen to me

That is sooo sweet. I'm leaving my husband and oldest daughter behind and neither has said anything about being concered something might happen to me. Just what are you bringing me back.

Nothing is going to happen to you! You've got great kids and they know how much you adore them.




More done off the to do list:

• mail on hold
• ALL bills paid
• Chloe's flip flops bought. And i got the other two some as well.

We have the same family.

Lol! Yeah, my 16 y/o daughter expressed no concern for my well being whatsoever. But the 10 and 8 year old boys almost broke my heart!

I was able to quickly distract them with talk of what treats I would bring back for them. Lucas really wants marshmallows made up at Goofy's. Do you guys think they would keep for a few days? I mean, because they are all covered in chocolate and goop? I know people on the food boards are always talking about how they were eating these things all week.....
