Hi!

Listen, I've been thinking...since I've lost some weight, I'm sure I could fit into your suitcase. Please, please take me with you!

Have a great weekend!

 

[pearlieq]

Sounds like the week ended well for you. I hope you had a great weekend!

I'm so excited for you! Just a few more days until your trip! Epcot is such a wonderful place. Rush, rush, rush to Soarin! It's such a great experience. I love all the sights and sounds and smells of Epcot. I love evenings in Future world with the lights in the pavement, the water ballet, and the funky new-age music. Sigh... TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!

Jamie-

Can you believe your trip is soooo close?????

Sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

 

[lovinaz]

You had a great weekend! You need to write a book called "Jamie's BBQ Turkey Hot Dog Weightloss Plan". It's working, you've lost a lot of weight!

I am excited for your trip, you will have a blast! It is always fun to go with someone who is experiencing it for the first time. You'll be leaving before you know it, hang in there!

Hi All!!!!!

It never fails, the week before I am to go on vacation, I get swamped!!!! I swear, I hate auditors. They think that they are the only ones that need something. As people they are nice, but I don't like them when they are always bugging me! Okay sorry!

So for anyone that wants to come with me, come on!!!! We just went out and bought a bigger suitcase so that we aren't taking so much. I am sure that I can kick my DH out so that I could fit all of you in!!!!

I called and made the reservation for the shuttle to pick us up at the house Sunday. Our flight leaves at 8:32am and they are picking us up between 5:02am and 5:17am. I was totally shocked at the time, but that leaves them time to go get three more people if needed.

The rest of the weekend was great. I stayed on track and didn't cheat. I am still waiting on the ice cream that I want. I don't think that I will get it before we leave though! Might, but I doubt it. I didn't get my bike ride in as the weather has not been nice these last few days. The clouds move in around dinner time and they stick with is the rest of the evening. I have not been able to get the dogs out either.

Monday:
B at 5:30 1/3 cup cereal
S at 8:45 1 Nature Valley Granola bar
L at 12:00 6 crackers, three pieces of lf cheese, and 1 slice of nf turkey
S at 3:00 1 Nature Valley granola bar
D at 6:00 1 grilled cheese with 1/2 cup chicken soup

We are running out of food in the house fast!!!! I don't want to go to the store because we are leaving in a few days. So we are going to have to live. My lunches may not be what they should be, but it is better than buying stuff and having it go bad.

Only 5 more days!!!!! YIPPIIEEE....I can't wait. I want to go now I tell you!!!!!

I better get back to work. I have an auditor coming......Take care and thanks everyone!

 

[crusin'minnie]

Yes- I'd like to make a reservation for 1 please. The new large suitcase, non-smoking.

I hate auditors too! And I'm a CPA. Luckily I only had a small stint as an auditor before I went into industry.

Are you packed yet and ready to go???

Looks like you are eating really well. Maybe you can continue to scrape up some healthy items from what is left in the cupboard.

Have a great day!!

 

[J4Dis]

Well, I'm jealous, too. I wanna go!! And it never fails that you get slammed at work before a vacation! So, what's your strategy for managing food at WDW? Or will you just eat whatever you like?

 

[daisy_77]

I hope you have a wonderful trip! You are doing a great job!

 

[karynnix]

Maybe the auditors need a Disney vacation...that's why they are so grumpy!! I am so excited for you getting to go next week!! The weather will be great, and you will have a super time!! Here's some pixie dust for a great vacation!

 

[pearlieq]

Just 4 more days!!!!

Glad to hear you had a good weekend and I hope you have a great Wednesday!

 

[lovinaz]

You are doing really good! I know you will have a great time on your trip. I always hated that running out of food before vacation time, but you are kinda stuck!

Keep it up and you will be on vacation before you know it!

Hi Jamie,

I didn't even realized when you posted on my journal yesterday you are in Colorado too! Sounds like you are doing great, you must be so excited for your trip! Hang in there with work and don't let the stress get to you! Good luck!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Jamie!

Only 3 more days now!!! Woohoo! I bet you are sooooo excited!!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day today!

Hi Everyone!!!! I wish things would slow down. I don't have time to DIS this week.....and that is making me mad!!!!

Well I am getting a little worried about TS Katrina......I wish that she would go away. I was telling someone here at work that I just want to get on that plane and land in Orlando and then I will be fine. I don't want a hurricane to hit, but if it was going to, wait until after I arrive. I am keeping a close eye on the storm and so far I think we are going to be okay. My MIL is freakin out though. She called me yesterday in a panic telling me that there is a hurricane. Then she proceeded to tell em that she was not scared. She is a little crazy right know!

So I weighed my self again this morning.....5 more pounds.....gone...!!!!!!! I was so excited. I didn't actually believe it so I got on several times and it was right. So I am going with it! I don't know if any one can really tell a difference, but I know I can. I can see it in my face. One of my many chins is gone!!!! LOL and my clothes are really starting to look too big. That is a great sign!

These last few days have been pretty good. Tuesday and Wednesday I got in all my water! YAY!!!! I got in my exercise too. Tuesday and Wednesday I did 25 minutes on the bowflex. That felt good! I have been slacking on the weights this week and last. I have just been getting on the ellipitical. My food intake was also good. I had more cheese and crackers with ff turkey on Tuesday. Wednesday I had HC soup and that was good. I was stuck on what to bring today though. So I have soup again!

I will try and get to journals today, I know I won't get to them tomorrow. I will definitly check in on Saturday. Hope everyone is having a great day. Thanks for all the support. You all have been great!

I didn't notice that you were from Colordao too! I just noticed it when I read your reply. What part of CO are you from? I live in Brighton and work in downtown Denver.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I have given eating at WDW some thought. We are getting the free dining plan and for some reason that really excites me! I am going to go buy some granola bars before we leave, that way I can have some snacks. On the free dining you get one free snack that can be fruit, ice cream, popcorn.....so I am good there. I am not going to totally limit myself, but I am going to watch what goes in my mouth. I plan on eating my 6 meals a day, but if I am not hungry, I am not going to eat. I will have ice cream, I have to. I am just going to watch that. I could eat ice cream for every snack if I would let myself!

 

[calena]

HAVE A GREAT TIME IN WDW! Enjoy yourself, walk a lot and exercise so you can enjoy the treats without feeling guilty. I still think a vacation is to be enjoyed... so enjoy it!!!!

 

[lovinaz]

That is such a great outlook on the food at WDW! You will do great, you always do when you go out! Enjoy everything, just in moderation. Don't worry about the weather. There is nothing you can do about it and a lot can change in 3 days. You'll have an awesome time no matter what!

Congrats on the 5 lb loss!! It's almost time to go new clothes shopping!!!

Hi Jamie!!!

Missed ya!!! Thanks for the words of encouragement, it has been a not so much fun week and I am always happy when I see a smile in my journal. Keeps me going!! Wanted to make sure I had a chance to get in here and say hi before you jet off to WDW!!! Have the best time and enjoy the dining plan. There are many healthy options on the menus and the food is great all over!

Tell the mouse I said!! Have a great trip!
