Very nice!! The clowns are adorable. You will have to try making a Mickey Mouse. Since my 22 month old is obsessed with the Mouse he wil be having a Mickey themed b-day party March 30th.I suck at baking so we will be buying our Mickey cake.

Okay...so here is the deal...had a very productive day through work...changed up some things so my business will flourish and I am way excited about that.

I also went swimming with MamaBear Jo...we swam/water -aerobiced are happy hinnies for 50 minutes strait and only hot tubbed it for about 5. I need that to feel good and feeling good in turn leads to eating better and on and on etc...

That is great and the hot tubbing is even better I am glad that no pidipples went missing on this outing


if you have to face the excersize God for what is putting in your mouth..it may cause you to thik twice about eating it.

I will be chanting this all day Sunday. I have a b-day party from 5-7 then I go right to a superbowl party. I will be drinking lots of water and snacking on fresh veggies.

I also would put on a pair of tight jeans that almost fit right if you were to lose 8 more pounds....wear a big sweatshirt over it so noone sees you roll hanging over...but you will feel it and nothin says don't eat that summer sausage like being in a sausage casing!!!

I love this advise! Eating naked in front of a mirror would do it as well but the other party goers might not appreciate the show so much.

Oh my gosh! Do you ever watch Myth Busters? They did this whole thing on capturing....ummm....gas. They were testing "Death by Flatulence" And they built this whole bathtub gas catching system... and yes, one of the guys had the job of actually sitting in the tub and, well, creating the specimens that they were attempting to capture!

I'm so easily amused sometimes....

My husband could apply for th is job... Actually, so could my officemate. For the love of all that is good, please put down the apricots.

OH MY! I am in a live conference for work right now and I am DYING here! I am SO gonna hear about my unprofessional behavior tomorrow....

That's what I get for multi-tasking!

The DIS is not good for work productivity. But it is so much more fun.

Dang... I go to the gym late and I miss out on all the fun... LOL! I hope everyone had a great night... I did... Got a hair cut, worked out with DH and ate Taco Bell for dinner (Fresco style of course and no soda... LOL). DH ate 2 steak quesodillas and a hard taco... I am jealous that he has to gain weight while I'm losing it... I can't wait til he's 30 and his metabolism stops... LOL!! The man eats triple whoppers and hasn't gained a pound in 3 years... I eat a tiny cheeseburger and I blow up... ok so it was more than one that got me to this point but still.. I'm off to bed! Nite nite!!!

Sarah

don't you just want to choke them?!? My DH gives up soda and candy for 2 weeks and drops 15 pounds. It make me batty!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! Lost a bit of weight bring my total since Jan 3rd to 19.2 lbs lost!!! I hope everyone has a magical and fabulous day!!!


Sarah

WOW!!! That is fantastic!! Lots of to you!

I meet up with a friend last night for dinner and girl talk and look what I miss.... Of course, I did come home and do my two mile walking tape so all is good....

Excellent!! It is so hard to exercise at night when all you want to do is get comfortable. Kudos to you!

Happy FRIDAY!

I am just back from the gym where I burned....get this...450 calories on the TM! Gotta love that calorie burning meter! Now...just have to get through the week-end...

I don't think it will be too tough though, as we aren't doing anything for the game on Sunday...just the family at home.

Keep moving forward!

WE ROCKED THIS WEEK AND WE BEING NOT ME!!!!!!
AKASnowWhite A samer w/ no gain!!!!
DWD -.2
Munkeme13 -3
born2bird -1.5
MaMaBearJo -1
SeptemberGirl -3
Goof -3.7
MilestoGo -1
Larry'sGirl -6.4 We have an Early Winner!


and then there was Dizneydawn...who depressed and weak and not very good under pressure....gained +3

....I am going to staple my mouth shut...some may be due to Aunt Flo's impending arrival and the fact I have a kidney infection and thus retaining water....but bottom line...I did not eat right this past week.....

I am going to try and put my daily intake here and on FitDay so I have some accountability...if you don't care to read the input...skip those posts and I will not feel bad. Maybe though some of you will get new ideas on foods not so high in calories...plus I need to account for my water....not drinkng enough!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hey Gang...

The weekly totals look great for everyone... For all the losers, maintainers and gainers, let's look ahead to the next week and see what we can do better than this one... A lot of little steps will get us to the same place as fewer big ones so don't lose hope...

For the big game on Sunday - I am packing my own snacks and planning to indulge in a few favorites by planning. I am also going to keep Dawn's words about exercising away the indulgences though... My goal for next week is to do my aqua aerobics class three nights and still walk my two mile DVD's on at least two other days. More exercise is a good thing right....

Dawn - post away... we will read them and interject as needed...

Now - I may have to seek out some small form of a reese's peanut butter cup.. I am having wicked cravings for one today and am not sure why. I may have to succomb to the craving and walk off the calories unless someone has an alternative / healthier suggestion for the classic peanut butter and chocolate goodness that is a peanut butter cup...

talk to you all later,
Goof

They used to make sugar free reeses cups... I think the calories are lower than normal. Not sure if they still make em tho.

Now even I who have a very big mouth do not believe that load of horse phooey...but if it will make you feel better...I will try!

My DH always says that to me and I feel the same way... LOL... But sometimes... just sometimes... it might be true... hehe

Hey, everybody! Just popping in really quickly to say that I had a very good week and I am feeling a great sense of accomplishment! I just need to lose .4 more pounds (or is that pound) and I will have lost 10 pounds! Yay, me. I hope that is the first 10 pounds of a lot of 10-pound incremental weight losses coming my way.

I got out in the cold and rain this morning and did W3D2 of the C25K program. How's that for dedication? Remember, I'm a Southerner - we don't do cold!! Anyway, it stank while I was doing it, but I felt really good about finishing it and the benefits last all day - I feel so much better with the exercise and low carb eating it is amazing. Anyway, I plan to go out to the mall this weekend and do 1 1/2 laps around at the fastest walk I can muster to try to start building up the distance for the race in May, plus I have to do the last day of Week 3 of the C25K program, so I should get in plenty of exercise this weekend!

If I don't get a chance to get on again until next week, hope everybody has a great weekend!

Susan

Hey gang,

first - a warning, this is a little off the weight loss topic, but I am in need of some advice...

As my siggie shows, I am heading to Disney in December with my sister and parents to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. In doing all of the research to find a great deal and a place to stay, I need some guidance as to which deal to pick...

Option #1:
(as quoted by my local AAA travel rep)
2 rooms for 7 nights / 8 days at POR or POFQ with DDP and park hoppers for everyone.... cost of $1000/pp

upgrade to WL.... cost of $1200/pp

Option #2:
(as quoted by Disney w/ 20% off code)
2 rooms for 7 nights / 8 days at POR or POFQ with DDP and park hoppers for everyone.... cost of $1100/pp

upgrade to WL.... cost of $1350/pp

Option #3:
(as quoted by a close friend who is willing to rent me her DVC points)
2 studios for 7 nights / 8 days at SSR with DDP and park hoppers for everyone.... cost of $1000/pp

So my question is this...

Where should we stay? Any info or pros / cons of each would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Paula... aka - Goof the confused...

I would say the most affordable and best bang for the buck. Not knowing any hotels I can't really say more than that. But your first instinct is usually right

The rooms at Saratoga are nice and new and bigger w/ better beds than at POR...a DVC place offers better ammenities so frige in romm w/ microwave etc...plus the pool is nice....I know that she has Saratoga as her home resort...but she should be able to also book by March in OKW too...she should call and check availability of studios at OKW because they are very readily available usually and will cost less points than the Saratoga...plus OKW has larger rooms than Saratoga...And Olivia's Restaurant is so good!!!

I also would think of staying at POR for your Fri/Sat stay and at OKW or Saratoga the rest of the time. Disney will move your luggage...but the cost of points is soooooo expensive for Fri/Sat stay that it is driving up your cost...we are staying at Poly on those 2 nights for our trip...
At Saratoga...a studio is 11 points per night s-Th and Fri/Sat is 20 points per night

At OKW...it drops to 8 per night S-Th and stays at 20 for Fri/Sat

So on average...points go for $10 per night...
That equals 80 points for s-th for 2 studios at OKW = $800
110 point for 2 studios for 5 nights at SS =$1100

Week stay w/ $10 per point = okw = $1600 for 2 studios -
SS = $1900 for 2 studios

Paying that price...you would save $800 by not staying at OKW for a Fri/Sat stay and 2 rooms for 2 nights would not cost you that at POR
I am paying $440ish for 2 nights at the Poly for 1 room...
same equation at SS by not staying Fri/Sat $800

You are putting the price of PP with tickets and everything so it is hard for me to know what you are being charged for the room part of the stay through your DVC connection...I too have connections so let me know if I can help.

Wow... that's a lot of info...

We are still negotiating the cost of the points, but she threw out a number range that is line with the $10/point range...

I am not sure I am going to get my family to move hotels in the middle of their trip, but who knows... it can't hurt to ask.

I'll PM or call you with more questions once I digest all of this info and we can discuss.

As Sarah put it - I am just trying to figure out what is going to give me the most bang for my buck...

Thanks,
Paula
