Thank u!!
I dont actually attend the meetings, I just go for a weekly weigh in, I went to a couple, but didnt find them very helpful most of the issues the women faced I didnt really have a problem with and I just needed that weigh in accountability!

But I do love the program, its easy to follow and I find as long as I keep track of what I eat Im good and I loose about a pound a week! I definitly agree and its not out of reach, its completely doable by any woman (or man)

Hellllo everyone from Val and Craig... We just came home from UP and wanted to do an update!!

First of all.. Can I just say...... 33 more days!!!!!

Its been a while! nothing much to update... just working away! 10 days till I'm off for a month!!! yay
Yesterday we went to a concert for four years strong, it was pretty awesome! here's some pics of us goofin around before the show in graffiti alley downtown toronto.

look who i found!!

I have this weird thing for jumping pics! haha we couldnt get one of the both of us but thats what we were trying to do. we are definitly gunna get the photopass photogs to get a jumping pic of us in front of the castle! hehe

So like I said, today we went to see UP and I would recommend everyone to go see it, its one of those make you cry then completely lift you up
movie. It was very very sweet and we both really liked it! The 3Dness of it was awesome too! And Craig has already planned to go see the Toy Story 3 in 3D when it comes out in.... 2010!!! (He loves Buzz!) But then again he also really thinks GForce looks really cool... so Im beginning to wonder about him.... hmm....

So I'm gunna try in 3 days, once my one month countdown begins to do a planning guide page a day that I collected and am taking with me to Disney! Hopefully it will be of some help to people and will get me excited!

I'll leave you with 2 pics of our pup Connor! <3 aint he adorible?!

I cried like a baby in UP!!!! My husband was laughing at me! I was actually a little surprised Disney would do that...even though our little one never picked up on what was going on. It's sad that some people can't have kids and then the little old man loses his soul mate!! So sad!! But, all in all it was a good movie, just a bit sad at times! Anyway, you have got to be getting soooooo excited fro your trip it is so close you can almost taste it!!

I cried too... It was so sweet/sad! I was surprised Disney would cover such deep issues too, but then again they have covered death in a lot of disney movies (ie - bambi/lion king) and I thought it was done very tastefully, where adults would understand but young children wouldn't. It was very sad tho bc one kid said very loudly, that's like what happened to grandpa and grandma. so I guess some do understand.

As for my trip I am soooooo excited! Its hard to believe its THAT close!

I loved Up too!! I seriously loved his wife's little note to him at the end. "Thanks for the adventure!" That made me cry all over again...but happy tears.

 

[shordiebecka]

Wow! your trip is coming up so fast, it will be here before you know it! I wanted to go see up so bad but never got around to it...maybe i'll try to fit it into my plans this week somehow!!! I also never found the meetings that helpful for weight watchers- honestly, alot of the problems the women faced I didn't have, which is okay, because everyone has their own hurdles when it comes to loosing weight hope your week goes by fast and smoothly!

I know! Its going by soo quick! Makes me a happy lady! . You should definitly try and see up! Its so worth it, great movie. I saw Bruno last weeek which had me crying of laughter but its a very very crude movie lol like completely shocking! But funny! as for ww meetings, I don't find them helpful but I can see how they would be for some! It just depends on each person for sure!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

We have yet to see Up, I really want to but I don't think we'll be able to before we go and by the time we come back it'll probably be out of theaters, oh well I'll see it eventually. Nice pics, you look like you were having a lot of fun! Woohoo, only 33 days to go!! That's almost only a month away!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Don't forget the alcohol drinks are not included in the dining plan (except for the SoA show)...they can be kind of expensive and add up quick!! And, you may want to buy some of the Disney exclusive scrapbooking items there also!!

These are both great and useful ideas I think those will both come out of spending money! especially love the first idea haha

 

[Vallie]

I Will be updating again tomorrow with more trip tips but just wanted to pop by quickly and say....

it's OFFICIAL!!! ONE MORE MONTH!!!!!!!!!



sorry just wanted to get that outta my system! but now i gotta sleep!!​

 

[shordiebecka]

Hooray! Only one month, its going to fly by! I also saved change, and in total I had over 500$ saved up (just went and deposited it all at the bank yesterday!). We also had a yard sale and made over 150$ also! FYI, to get to seaworld you can take Mears transportation- i think its 16$ each way per person- and thats easier from taking a taxi I hear. I am going to seaworld on my trip so I will let you know what I end up doing and how it works! Also, buy seaworld tickets on the website a week ahead of time, you can get "adult tickets for a child's price" for certain dates!

 

[princess_momma]

Oh man...money!! Blah! I'm more excited for the packing list. Money is too stressful.

Saving change is awesome! honestly I cant believe how quickly it adds up!! and it feels like its free money! hehe or maybe thats just me!

I have also heard mears is a good deal for universal and sw but I heard its almost the same price to take a taxi to sw! ill probably go with mears and just call the day before to set it up!

thanks for the website tips! we were planning on buying both the uni and sw tickets online before we left but thats pretty awesome to know i can get that deal!!! i hope its for my dates!

Oh man...money!! Blah! I'm more excited for the packing list. Money is too stressful.

haha money is stressful! packing list is the next post!
