Jamie's Journal (comments welcome please!)

[eeyore25]

Almost forgot with all the drama this morning....I did weigh myself and I didn't gain and I didn't lose. So I guess that is okay!
I would have loved to have seen a loss.....but I didn't gain so that is good!

Wow Jamie!

What was this person thinking calling so late? Yikes! I am sending you some extra to help you get a good night of sleep without the telephone ringing at 2:30 a.m.

I hope tomorrow is a wonderful day for you! Keep up the good work!

Jamie, congrats on the 12lbs lost!! You've done great sticking with a plan. Sorry to hear that you were awakened at 2:30am. Thats a great way to ruin the next day.

I hope that tonight is better sleeping for you!!

Have a great Friday!
Mike

Yikes, what a rude awakening! I don't blame you for not getting up early! Isn't family drama the pits? Don't let it get you down, keep on doing what you're doing and that scale will start moving again in no time!

Hi Jamie, sounds like never a dull moment around your house! I had A/C trouble this week too, must be contagious. It was a tense, hot few hours where I thought I was going to have to fork out the bucks for a repairman, but it turned out to just be a malfunction is this dumb control box from the power company, just started working again after a while. Wow, how did people survive with A/C?
Have a great weekend!!

Hey Jamie I have an idea.

Why don't you call your sister's friend back at 2:30 this morning and let her know that you passed the message on to a family member that will hopefully be talking with your sister soon. If you don't want to get up that early call her at 4:30 when you get up. Most people are still asleep at that time

I understand about the DH scale issues. He has been trying to figure out my weight since 1996. Unsuccessfully I might add. When I was in the hospital having DD #2 the nurse was writing down my stats and she asked my weight. DH gets a big grin b/c finally he is going to know the magic number. I looked at her and said "If you want me to tell you, he has to leave." She kicked him out.

Keep up your good work!! And have a fantastic weekend.

That sounds like something I would do!! Hope your weekend has been great!!

Sorry to hear about your phone call woes - ticks me off when something like that happens - except at my house it's some college kid that dialed a wrong number from a bar!!!!!! UGH

Hope you had a good weekend!

Keep on

Hi all!!!

Thanks for posting in my journal! I love the encouragement!!!! Wow what a week, and weekend. I will try and get to other journals tonight, if not it will be first thing in the morning.

Friday was crazy busy, and I am not going to post everything that I ate from Thursday on. I will tell everyone that I was cheat free the whole time!!!! YIPPIEEEEE. We had a potluck on Friday with cinnamon rolls, candy, cakes, ice cream, cookie and I resisted it all but a small piece of cake that I was planning on. I cut the peice that was given to me in half and only ate a small portion of it. I stayed away from everything else. Thursday we had dounuts, passed. I brought mine home to DH!!! He loved it!

Saturday we went on a hughe motorcycle ride. About 300 miles and when we stopped to get gas, I ate a granola bar. When we stopped for lunch, I had a grilled chicken no fries. It was good. I missed the afternoon snack as it started to rain and I didn't have time to eat my snack when we stopped. But when we got home and 2 BBQ hotdogs....I was good to go!

Well we made a big decision this weekend. We were suppose to go to DL Aug 27 - Sept 7. We changed our minds, I cancelled those reservations and we are going to go to WDW instead!!!!! I can't wait. We booked a package at a really good rate. We leave here Aug 28 and come home Sept 6. The inlaws are going too. This will be DH and mine's second time and inlaws first. I am really excited. DH just didn't want to go to DL this year. So I have to change my ticker now!!!!

Well I have to get going. I hope everyone had a good weekend.

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Jamie!!!

Glad that you had a good weekend!! Sounds like you had a great motorcycle ride too!! Good job resisting temptation and planning your treats too!

Wow! Changing parks, how cool!! You'll have to think of me when you are at WDW as the day you arrive is the day all of my students arrive!! hehe!!

Have a healthy night!
Mike

 

[goldcupmom]

Sounds like you are doing GREAT!!!

Congrats on the WDW trip!! Sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Congrats on your trip to WDW Jamie!!! Did you get the free dining with your package? We wanted to take a trip in September to celebrate my 30th birthday, but we didn't think we could swing it financially so, we are waiting until December. (It's not too far away.. )

Way to go on staying cheat free!!! That is awesome! You should be very proud of yourself!

I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

 

[crusin'minnie]

Oh my gosh - have you started packing yet??? What a great trip! Where are you guys staying?

Tip- The strawberry Minnie bars are awesome! They are a great alternative to the Ice cream sandwiches and Mickey heads and much much healthier.

Great job of no cheating!!

 

[lovinaz]

Congrats on staying cheat-free over the weekend! You really are doing a wonderful job with your food choices!

How cool that you get to go to WDW! I love travelling...

 

[eeyore25]

Hi everyone!!! Whew what a weekend! Besides the motorcycle ride that lasted all day, we had to get everything finalized for WDW!!! I am really excited. We are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside. We were there last year and I really enjoyed it. Plus I think that was the only hotel that had availablity. We have been looking at the menus and I think I will do pretty good. I am just trying to figure out how the PS works. We didn't use this last year so i have no clue! We did get the free dining. That is great! We are going to save so much just on food!!!!

So I did well yesterday. We went to the inlaws and they ordered pizza. I had two pieces and 2 breadsticks. Should have passed on the sticks but didn't want to! I didn't eat an afternoon snack I just was not hungry! I had three pieces of cheese and three slices of turkey for dinner. That was it! I got up late this morning and didn't have time to do the normal 30 minutes on the elliptical, but I wanted to do something. So I did 20 minutes and that only put me 15 minutes behind! But at least I got it in!

Well I have to get back to work today. I have not really done much. Been too busy trying to figure the PS out!

Have a great day!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Jamie!

Hope the PS planning is going well!! Definitely visit the restaurant board if you need advice. My recommended must do places are Le Cellier in Epcot, Kona Cafe at the Poly, Dinner at the Castle, Crystal Palace for Breakfast or Lunch, Earl of Sandwich in DTD, Brown Derby at MGM, and dinner at Boma at the AKL. In case you wanted suggestions! LOL

Have a good night and fun planning your trip!
Mike

 

[karynnix]

Pizza is a hard thing to pass up!! Great job with not diving in head first!! Planning a WDW trip is so exciting. We won't be able to go back until November 2006, but I CAN'T WAIT!!
