In search of my body...not the one I ate! Part Deux... We sit at the popular table!

Steph - I was joking about the yelling. I knew the caps was locked. Me = sarcastic.

Sarah - you look great. Seriously. You do. And your hair looks cute too. I have the yellow Dumbo shirt. I can't wear it, it's a medium (?) but it was the only one left and daggonit I'll fit into it one of these days, right? (There is barley any Dumbo merchandise.)

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

LYZ _ I WON'T YELL ANY MORE!!!!!! Do you have a hangover because MY YELLING MAY HURT THAT!!!


Sarah-- HOly cow we were in Disney at the same time!!! I was there from Dec. 21 - 31. Did you do a trip report??



I wonder how nature woman is doing? Well she does have the great leg muscles to squat while she pee's in the woods! I hope that she had good weather. Nothing like camping in the rain! Everything is wet or at least damp and smells. Well unless you camp in style like my grandparents did in a HUGE motor home! Hell they had a washer / dryer in their RV, plus leather couches..dvd player .... air conditioner and heat ....Yeah it was really roughing it!

Thanks! I don't look forward to losing out of either of these shirts lol... I have quite a collection of Disney shirts that I will be bummed when they are too big... lol

Hehe... No I didn't... that trip we were only there for like a day... it was a stop on our way up to Simi Valley... We had been there like 2 weeks prior... We are in AZ so we go a lot... I can't wait to go this week! 3 more days!!!

How is everyone doing today???

 

[3DisneyKids]

HEY!!!

Just back...had a great week-end and will post pics either later tonight or first thing in the morning. Still unpacking, cleaning, etc. It was misty the whole time. No real rain, but DAMP. Friday was nice and sunny, but Sat. and today were foggy and or/damp. Still, a great time overall and lots of reconnecting with friends we haven't seen in a few months. Full report with pics to follow.

Quick comments--

KAT--no worries about the review! J's company uses the same scale of 1-5 (he is a manager and has to do reviews) and his BEST people often gets 3s! It drives him crazy! But that is the system. If he is doing reviews for, say, 50-70 people, he is only allowed to give out ONE 5 and ONE 4. And the same on the other end...only a couple of 2s and one or two ones. The stat they use is that 90% of employees should be rated a 3. So go with the written comments. That is where he says what he really wants to and the numbers are pretty meaningless. He, himself, got a 3 this year from his boss and he is his boss' right hand!

SARAH--Welcome back! You are looking great and I am so happy to see you here!

DAWN--post about WW please!

LYZ--sorry about the eating fest. I have been right there with you. I am starting anew on Monday if you want to join me. I have to post my food to Liz and Kat.

STEPH--sorry about Sam! That is a tough pill to swallow, for sure. If it helps at all, I know several friends who had held a kid back and they all say that is was the best thing for them. It was not only a wake-up call for the kid, but then the kid was at the right level and really took off. So I will keep my fingers crossed that this will be the case for Sam. As long as I am crossing my fingers, I will keep them there for your job situation! I am sure more regular hours will be better for your whole fam. Got you PM...I consider this good news.

LIZ--What? 2 days and no pics posted?!?!

All for now...have to deal with the post-camping mess and get caught up with work as well.

Missed you!

 

[HockeyKat]

E, glad you had a good time.

Btw, they are closing Pleasure Island in Sept. Liz and I were talking last night, do we want to change our SSR ressie?

I did spend my weekend looking at and applying to jobs. I would only take something if it were a substantial bump in pay, though, and closer to home. The commute does wear on me.


I ate/drank too much last night but still wound up at about 2000 or so calories, not terrible I guess. Trying to get up the oomph to make it to the gym.

You can do it! Go to the gym for me too while you are at it... lol!

Hey gang,

Woke up, went to 8:30am spin. Came home, showered, ate an egg white and veggie omelet, headed to kid birthday party, then all three of us went to see Wall E. LOVED IT!!!! You MUST go see it! It made me want to run, just so i don't end up on a hoverchair! Oh, and personal victory - sat through a movie with no popcorn. If you know me, you know that's like an alcoholic not having a drink at a bar.

Ok, Erika, you want a pic? Hah! You will get one! Not for the faint of heart of the skinny of thigh - don't say I didn't warn you!

Me, the new bikini, no covering anything up:

How's that for a post?

I'd love to just be in a bikini and not look like an exploding sausage!! lol! keep up the great work... you look awesome!

A girl just tries to take a Sunday nap...and...

E - welcome back to the world of real toilets and all kinds of newfangled gizmos. Glad you had a good time.

LIZ - (insert the kiss fingers to the lips "perfecto" smiley) Ok, I might have to print this off and put it on my fridge.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Thank you, Sarah and Lyz. It's totally horrifying to me, but I'm trying to own it. Kwim?

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

For starters, he'd want a detailed explanation of exactly who you are and how I know you.

Once we had that established. He'd wonder why I didn't look like you. Seeing as how I'm on a diet support thread with you and you look so awesome, and it's obvious to all that I am gaining, not losing...

It'd be Liz this and Liz that.

Yeah, not gonna do it.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Well, just tell him you just got on the thread - but Kat, Erika, and I are your coaches...and you won 3 nights in WDW in Dec! How's that? Two birds with one stone.

Note to self: don't drink 6 beers on an empty stomach and then expect to get a workout in the next day. Wow, I don't think I have ever felt that bad. I almost passed out in Target.

However, I was looking at clearance jeans and they didn't have any 12s so I picked up a 10, and it fit. Like, really fit. A bit too low rise for my conservative taste, so I didn't buy them, but wow. I didn't expect them to.

Liz, love the pic and the courage to post it. I don't have the courage to post mine here.

Lyz, .

I'd just like to say that 113 degrees sucks!! Days like this make me wish there was no sun...

Happy dance for your size 10s! You are totally a 10 now!!!

You still should have gotten them... Just cuz you fit in them... hehe!

Aren't you super smart.

Kat - SIZE 10!!!!!!! Did you get a bikini?

yes, 113 is over my hot threshold.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Okay, off the main topic, but I need your opinions.

We have a WDW trip booked for Sept 1st-6th - bounceback. However, since that booking my inlaws have booked us onto (and paid for) a big family cruise Aug 23-31st. So we'd come home and go away right away, and Nick doesn't want to do that. Here are my options:

1. Try to change it, so we are there in Sept, but later in the month. Issues: Bounceback is hard to change, other codes are gone.

2. Book another trip, either in Oct or Jan...

What to do! Do I try to finagle this Sept trip? Maybe be there for my birthday? 9/19? Or do I give up Sept, cancel it, and work another month? And if so, what month? Em is only in preschool, so I can take her out. my priorities are good deal, and low crowds - like very low crowds.

Nick has no opinions, I need yours!
