Yes, i am having some motiviation issues.... Can someone come to my house and yell at me to get in shape for Disney? It would be better coming from someone I don't know too well.... My husband knows better than to attempt to tell me himself.
, I am not looking to get any motivation from him.
I would soooo join that thread!!!
I am really in need of motivation to get in shape for the Mouse! Actually went to Kohl's yesterday and hated the way I looked in 2 really cute sun dresses.
Since my DH isn't going on this trip and already thinks I talk about it too much
Everyone here in the boards is great and I know we can help each other out!!!
I made it to the gym today too - 3 days in a row. I had been doing really well during the winter then DS had surgery, DH had surgery, and I got the flu - I lost about 6 weeks and gained 5 lbs 
For the time being, we're trying to make it to the Y as much as possible!

Haha my poor husband is in the same boat. I ask for his help but if I think it's too much, I snap at him! Though, for some reason, he was really harping on my eating on Sunday and Monday until I finally said "if you think I'm eating poorly, please just say so. Please stop with the backhanded 'well, you ate so much...' comments."
My problem is that I am NOT allowed to work out with my stupid leg injury. I'm in the "IF YOU DO ANYTHING YOU COULD TEAR THE ENTIRE MUSCLE AND THAT MEANS SURGERY" category.
(Of course, I have NO idea how I'm going to recover any semblance of fitness for The Mouse!)

My husband works out everyday (or most days)... me... not so much. lol. He always wants me to work out with him, but I like to do that type of thing alone. I'll get there though! Attempting to get motivation from the new thread that was started... we can do this!
With your leg, is there anything you can do? Even just walking? Or is that too much? That sort of stinks, but at some point you need to do what is best for your body! Wouldn't want to miss Mickey because you injure your leg trying to get ready to see Mickey!!
Nope, NOTHING. I can't do ANYTHING. It's a calf muscle and you don't realize how much you use it until you tear it. No toe pointing (this means no toe tapping to favorite music). No pulling my foot towards me. No sitting as if in a chair with the feet flat on the floor. Definitely no walking. And no stairs. (There's a possibility I will have to be in a wheelchair for the Mouse!) No swimming, no running, no heels, no tip-toes.
My husband is a marathoner... he and I agreed that this spring I'd do a couch to 5k program. That's off until probably 2012, unfortunately.
The whole story: My right leg was bowed, so I'd worn through the cartilage in my knee. Basically, I had knee pain for over 15 years before anyone believed me and it was my surgeon. In late 2009, I had surgery that straightened my leg (!!). In late 2010, I had surgery to take out the plate and screws that had been put in for the leg straightening. However, after the 2009 surgery, the surgical leg is longer than the non-surgeried leg. We're all pretty sure that that imbalance is what caused the calf muscle tear in my non-surgeried leg!
Just got to sit and wait it out AND DRIVE MY POOR HUSBAND BONKERS IN THE MEANTIME. He earns it
