In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

[DisneyWorld Delight]

It went really well. The tech called me a skinny little thing. Like, "I'm sorry to be scrunching you in here, you skinny little thing". I laughed and told her about my weight loss. So we talked weight loss and the DISNEY! She and her family are going on Dec 26th. How cool is that?

"The DISNEY." Classic.

Erika running at WDW is freakshow! Freakshow!

Liz - I actually typed Freakshow, then erased!

Lyz - I think E should consider taking you on the cruise given the fact that you did a necessities only shower...

What do you think...

Paula

Totally!

Oh, WW....back down to 158.2! Lost 3.4 this week. Now, the challenge is not to gain this week. Either lose or stay the same. My goal? lose 1.2 this week. Tracking, tracking, tracking. Good and bad both!

You are the queen.

And it's your anniversary too! I'm happy for you Sarah. It will be a good weekend.

 

[MunkyMe13]

And it's your anniversary too! I'm happy for you Sarah. It will be a good weekend.

3 years!! Almost half a decade! hehe... I'm a dork I know...

 

[HockeyKat]

Okay, wow. Had a bunch of stuff quoted but decided to just recap instead.

Erika, definitely freakshow on the running at WDW thing. SOOOO excited that you won the cruise!! Awesome!!! I have never been on a cruise, let alone a Disney cruise, but I bet it will be wonderful. Your kids are cute even to me, sorry that J is a pill about them sometimes.

Liz, yay! Skinny little thing you!

Lisa, . Once again, love when you love on Lyz.

Paula, somehow I just see you putting on those angry eyes...

Nancy, I am such a sampler. I would only count 100-200 cals for that though, samples are usually pretty small.

Lyz, so proud of you.

I am ditto on the AIM thing. Lately I have been coming home with no desire to look at a computer.


Okay, food for yesterday:
B: 100 cal pack of blueberry muffins
L: Turkey pita (120)
D: Fajitas w/ 3 corn tortillas (~400?)
S: 200 cals of airpopped popcorn + 3.5 pints of Dos Equis (~500)

Exercise none. Total for the day, 1320.


Today, so far, 6" oven roasted subway sub (350).


And, D had a flat tire. Sigh.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

FOOD (freaking LYZ bet me I wouldn't track while on vacation, and you all KNOW how competitive I am!)..

wait..you're competitive? How come I didn't know this about you???

“Which would you rather do right now? Go to the dentist or go to Disney?” Of course they all said “DISNEY!” I said, “We are going to the airport RIGHT NOW!” And the screaming began.

It is about 8pm by this time…and we get to the archway. I had NO IDEA it was all lit up at night! We have never arrived at dark before. OMG, the kids screamed! Fun. Then, of course, all of those amazing BWV lights. So pretty.

We valet the car (with a nod of thanks to DVC for free valet for members). We walk into the lobby….and since it is chilly tonight by Florida standards, the steetsmosphere performers were IN the lobby! Awesome! So while my kids still had luggage in hand, they were picked to be part of a show, etc. while I stood in line to check us in. Perfect! I am here and thrilled and smiling ear to ear. J is still somewhat Grumpy, but again, this is the norm for him on travel day.

Check in is easy breasy, with lots of Welcome Homes, which I love. Within 5 minutes of getting to the room, bell services is there with our Owners’ Locker and our groceries that I pre-ordered from Garden Grocer. J opens the wine and we are set to begin our adventure.

<sigh> Reading that, I felt like I was there.... ...Have a fan-tab-ulous time!

Listen guys! EriKa won a DISNEY CRUISE!!!!! OMG!!!! She picked number 40, and that was the Podcast Cruise!!!!!!

WOWZA! That is so freakin' amazing!!! Now I'm COMPLETELY jealous

Lyz - I think E should consider taking you on the cruise given the fact that you did a necessities only shower...

yeah - take Lyz! Your family won't mind, right?

HILARIOUS. See, this is why it pays to be lazy! No workout for me!!!

yeah, hilarious in that oh-my-god-is-that-painful sort of way! It wasn't so bad though, was it. And I just got my reminder card in the mail...time to make an appt!

It went really well. The tech called me a skinny little thing. Like, "I'm sorry to be scrunching you in here, you skinny little thing".

awesome compliment!

Oh, WW....back down to 158.2! Lost 3.4 this week. Now, the challenge is not to gain this week. Either lose or stay the same. My goal? lose 1.2 this week. Tracking, tracking, tracking. Good and bad both!

Nice job! I'm maintaining focus pretty well so far today...I'll let you know later how it all turns out...

3 years!! Almost half a decade! hehe... I'm a dork I know...

Happy Anniversary..3 years or 30 - they are all special.

Paula, somehow I just see you putting on those angry eyes...

Yeah, I'd be some ticked that's for sure!


Nancy, I am such a sampler. I would only count 100-200 cals for that though, samples are usually pretty small.

I didn't try to account for the calories...just noted the...umm...? error in judgement? ..and am moving forward. I knew I was SO hungry - I should have taken the time to stop and eat BEFORE I shopped. Next time I'll know better.

Gotta get a plan in place for dinner - got a drama club costume meeting at 5:30 - crappy time, I know...but the kids are at rehersal from 5:30-8:30, so...there you have it.

Oh - and I bought a pair of "Erika's Magic Jeans" yesterday. Found them, brand new, at the Salvation Army store - $5! Only *problem* is they are really a size bigger than what I need. But for $5 who cares! Definitely going to try and find them in my own real size now....

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Anyone else think Erika and Nancy are alittle add? I swear to you, I don't know anyone else that gets as much done as they do.

Nancy, you went to the salvation army yesterday too?

You two get around!

 

[lisaviolet]

Listen guys! EriKa won a DISNEY CRUISE!!!!! OMG!!!! She picked number 40, and that was the Podcast Cruise!!!!!!

We talked on the phone. They can't believe it.

FABULOUS!!!! My gosh that's so great. Lovely.

Okay - hopping on and off - but this caught my eye. Fantastic.

But.....

Someone explain to me. I was following along, I swear, but I must be slow. Erika was on the podcast - (okay I'm going to admit this - I'm not sure I even fully understand the podcast - it's like a radio show on the internet? ). For a gift she had to pick a number. It could have been a $25 dollar Disney card. But 40 was the cruise (got that ). Help the slow girl. Help her.

Will catch up with everyone later.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Anyone else think Erika and Nancy are alittle add?

A.D.D. Is me COMPLETELY. Actually...I'm SO easily distracted that my kids say that I'm not even A-D-D...that I can't even pay attention long enough to GET that far...they say that I am "A-D-ooohh look! A butterfly!" nice kids, huh?

I just prefer to think of it as...multi-tasking...

hey Lisa- thanks for asking the question that I was thinking but hadn't asked yet... Podcast? You must remember, I shoulda been Amish because technology & I just don't see eye-to-eye....

EriKa and I love love love the podcast. Pete and crew are HI LAR IOUS! We look forward to it. Love it. I encourage anyone who hasn't listened to do so.

Pete - creater of the DIS

John - half owner of Dreams Unlimited Travel, Petes old flame, partner to Kevin. He is the money man for the DIS and Dreams Unlimited Travel.

Kevin - Johns life partner, he "reviews Disney restaurants". Hilarity!

Corey - web designer for the DIS and does any manly action stuff that needs reviewed and has a "couples" segment with Julie his wife

Julie - wife to Corey, has a "store tour" segment and "couples" segment with Corey. They are expecting their first child.

These are the regulars with a host of extras coming in and out.
They sit around a table and fill you in on Disney stuff. The dynamics are great.

So Erika sent in a recorded question for the Thursday show about how busy is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on October 31?

Well they made fun of her because the recording was so loud and buzzing. All in good fun. (10/16/08 email show, start at minute 29 if you want to listen to it.)

Erika, crazy girl, sent in another recorded message, blasting them for making fun of her. And they harassed her again. (10/23/08 email show, minute 19:20)

Because they were teasing her so bad, they told her to pick a number from the prizematron. 1-50. She picked 40 and won a Disney Cruise. (10/29/08 show, minute 11:30)

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hi Guys...just a quick drive by for now and will do a full post later tonight.

I WON A CRUISE! How crazy is that?!?!? Jeff still isn't totally sure it is legit, which I can understand. He is like...Some guys on your iPod told you that you won a Disney cruise and so you believe them? Eventually he will get the picture. And if not...hells yeah, I'll take Lyz!

GREAT day at the Studios. Though it is NOT warm. Or it wasn't this morning. The high today is only like 68-70. And it was 50 this morning when we left the resort. All of the CMs/Floridians were bundled to their eye balls. Mainers? We were in shorts. But long sleeve t-shirts.

Ok, Tracking for the day...

Bfast--skipped it...could not eat I was literally shaking from finding out about the cruise. Ate nothing till lunch.
Just couldn't...I was still in shock.

Lunch--Brown Derby, YUM. I ate...2 dinner rolls with a small amount of butter. I had the coconut shrimp appetizier (only 2 of those, but they were delish like you wouldn't believe). And then I had a very small amount of Jeff's thai noodles with tofu dish. Also good.

Just now had one beer (corona light at 100 cals).

We are heading to Cape May Cafe for dinner...which is all you can eat seafood buffet. So.... But at least fish is very low in fat, so I think I will be ok. Seriously, I am still so in shock that I am not even into eating (which never happens to me!). I may try to talk J into just hanging out and muching a little instead of going for a big meal. Who knows.

Exercise:

3.5 mile run around the Boardwalk and over to the Studios, etc. 2 huge loops.
Walking in the park all day.

Love and miss you guys.

Sorry to not respond to each person individually.

LIZ...totally, crown. Thanks, Paula, for taking over for me.

LYZ--thanks for being my messenger.

STEPH--eat your heart out, babe! hey, what else do you expect after your "I hate you" text?!?!

Nancy--glad you like the jeans!

Do they talk about DL too or just WDW???

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Do they talk about DL too or just WDW???

Not regularly. They all live in Orlando.

If there is something newsworthy they will. They are always looking for DISsers who want to call in a report on new things in DL. Pete went to the food and wine festival in the spring in DL and did a segment about that. He spent like 14 days at the GC.

Sounds fun! I'd love to do that kind of stuff but I don't go often enough... LOL... its a good way to get goodies and perks... LOL... I toy with the idea of blogging about the adventures I've had at Disney...

Hey Everyone!

Erika: Congrats on the cruise! Sounds like your vacay is going well so far!! I tried to live up to my new england roots and run around in a t-shirt today. I did bundle DD though!! I am SUCH a cold baby now. We saw them putting out all the disney hats/gloves this weekend.

Sarah: Have fun in DL!! I have not been there yet. We are tentatively planning a trip for next fall, so I can do the DL 1/2 and get the special extra medal that you get if you run the 1/2 or full at WDW and the DL 1/2. I am so motivated by more bling!!

Nancy: What brand are the jeans??

Liz: for the loss...our long weekend at WDW has put me up a few pounds, so I am very motivated to get rid of that weight. Also, my BFF gave me some size 10 and 12 jeans that are too big for her, and I am like an inch or so away from fitting into the 12's, so that is motivation too. What's weird is that my target 12's are too big, old navy 12's fit fine and the GAP ones she gave me are a bit too small.

Lyz: Thanks for all the podcast info!

Paula, Lisa, Kat, Dawn and anyone else I've missed, and

My food for today (not so great)

Breakfast: oatmeal, coffee
Lunch: Salad, small 5 inch personal pizza, 2 pints of beer
Dinner:Small amount of crockpot pulled pork, green beans, cornbread
Misc: Wine, lots of water, some G2, NO soda today
Exercise: 2.5 miles of "I feel like I am going to die" speed intervals on the dreadmill

I'll be back soon with a trip report...

Hi Gang!

Food for today:

Breakfast, fiber one bar
Lunch, split pea soup, bowl, and a green salad with a piece of bread
Snack, pretzels
Dinner, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, asparagus (the normal green kind) and salad.
Dessert pumpkin pie!

I gave myself 31.5 pts for the day for this, and I get 21 daily, so I'm down to 24.5 for the rest of the week. It was lunch out and dinner with the inlaws, so there is sure extra food there. Friday and Saturday there will be drinking, so I need to keep a watch on the food for the next few days, prepare to go over slightly, and still have some left for Sunday and Monday!
