Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........ Part 2

[karajeboo]

Jilliian I will TOTALLY be supportive! I lost 22 pounds last year, and then gained back 10 since we moved!!! It makes me soooo mad and I just can't get my mind back into it! I was at Jenny Craig last night (which I soooo recommend!!!!) and I had gained 1.4 lbs this week! I feel like I've lost my motivation for some reason, and I still have 17 lbs to go to be at my "ideal" weight. And if I get there by Feb 2009, I get 1/2 my JC money back from my initial membership. I loved the prepackaged meals from JC - that was important to me because I never had the time to make things to take to work for lunch. All I had to do was grab a yogurt, a prepackaged snack (or fruit), and my lunch and head out the door. JC allows you to drink all the diet sodas you want as long as you get in 8 glasses of water each day. Then I'd buy a side salad and my JC dressing and I was all set for the day! Same with dinner, JC meal, extra veggies that DH cooked for dinner, maybe a salad, and then a very yummy dessert later that night! I lost 4 lbs my first week, then 2+ lbs the next two weeks. So after 3 weeks I had lost nearly 9 lbs. After that the weight loss slows down, but if you're following the plan you should still lose between 1-2% of your total body weight each week.

Sorry, didn't mean to go on about it, I'm just a very big fan of JEnny Craig. It is very easy and it works.

the crowds should be a little bit better as spring break is over for alot of people.

Accu weather is still saying 70's and 80's I wouldn't change out all of your clothing just yet.

Thanks for the encouragement. I sure hope so, but i BET it will be a little more crowded this week since the Grad Nite is for the following two weekends, I think.

Renee - actually, hurricane seasons begins June 1st and runs through November.
man, aren't I current
I moved about 30 miles or so from the coast (as the crow flies) - gotta love it!
I'm thinking more and more about the Orlando move. DH's arguement is that at least you know when a hurricane is coming, tornados just drop from the sky... good point! Maybe I'd actually find that less nerve racking!

Remember, even if it does dip down at night (which it is gonna do Sunday - Tuesday), it should still be nice during the day - even highs in the 60's will feel good if it's sunny!

Okay, making me feel better about it!

Renee - I'm a huge fan of Accuweather, and you're looking at highs (not counting Saturday in the 80's@ ) of right around 70. That will be beautiful!!! And even though it will dip into the 40's at night, here's what I have learned about FL weather. It cools off very quickly in the evening. By 7pm it will start getting cool. But it also heats up very quickly during the day, so I predict that by 10 or 11am your sweatshirts will be off!

We're planning on early evenings I think for the most part. It is just those early mornings I worry about. I think we will have to be at the bus stop at 7am to make our 8 ADRs. In shorts, I think that will be a little chilly for DS.

I hope you guys all have a great day! Yell at me if you see here again before tonight!

Try not to stress about it. It is always something, you know. Relatively speaking, it is a small potatoes problem. Just think about all the fun you will have when there! You know, if you feel too guilty you could just make the whole trip be at the value to make up that money. yeah, I thought so...

So I will not be around until late tonight as I am starting my gym routine tonight I WILL lose 50lbs by november!!!!! I am going to post a weight ticker and I need all of you to be my support.

Ooooh, a weight ticker. I might just join you in that one Jillian. When I get back I have a goal for my June trip, but then I need a bigger one in general. That might be a good motivation for me! Count me in for support, but I might just need some back!

So far, I have been checking out all the weather. Looks like...
Sat 89/69
Sun 72/68 - 30% showers (which in my mind is 70% chance not! )
Mon 68/49
Tue 68/43
So I'm going to throw in a couple pairs of jeans and an extra hoodie for each of us subtract out a pair of shorts each and let that be that. I may have more clothes than we need, but it could change for the better or the worse and I would rather be prepared - on the pants side at least. Shirts I can always buy, if I have to!

Hopefully tonight I will be ZZZZZZzzzz when you all drunk post, but live on darth boozers, live on!

Pretty much the same for me on WW - except you can eat whatever. I need to learn how to eat healthier - that is my issue. I thought about JC but my issue is I know when I stopped getting the food, I'd blow back up eating the same old crap. You kind of have flex in the WW as you get your points based on your weight. When you first start, you have a lot so naturally you can still eat some yummy things, but then the more you lose the healthier your eating has to become or else you will blow your points in one meal - unless you go with core which is just a list of super healthy stuff anyway, then you can eat whatever.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Oh, see, I forget everything. The thing that had me worried is the accuweather "feels like" temp is about 6 degrees lower due to wind those two days, so realistically, it will be in the 50's during the mornings and feel every bit of it too...

You know, it just hit me that if all the stars are in proper order, we could very well be standing on main street in MK at this time tomorrow!

OK, now comments like that might get YOU bopped! Seriously thought, I'm loving it for you!

I had a whole shpiel typed on JC and my internet crashed! One thing to consider with JC, if anyone is ever considering it, is that while you eat the prepackaged foods in the beginning, I think it is to make it easier (you can't make a mistake on portions or anything if you follow it!) and then you'll see the results so quickly that it really makes you WANT to start eating healthy on your own. I was eating MOMOs (meals on my own) after about a month, and after 3 months I was eating about 80% on my own. I started out weighing my meat portions, and finally I was able to judge on my own. Now if I could just get back into that mindset! It's really all about eating healthy, and PORTION CONTROL!!!! We all know it, so why do we pay for someone else to tell us that???

And exercise is key - even just brisk walking for 30 minutes or so. But I'm real big on excuses, and the ole "not today, I'll do it tomorrow." When is tomorrow ever gonna come??? Once DH transferred down here, I was doing everything at the house in SC so I just flat out didn't have time (okay, I chose not to MAKE time) to exercise. And once you get out of the habit, it's so hard to get back into it. Which is why I'll be signing off here in a few to go ride my bike up to the pool for an hour!

Oh didn't know that about JC - that is good to know. That would definately make it better from my POV! And you can't bop me (which that is totally a boppable comment ) when you are on your way to the pool, missy! Well - maybe you can.

I laughed myself silly about your comment. Yes, let me pay you at least $200 to tell me that having a Supersized Big Mac combo with a large drink and two apple pies for a dollar is a Bad Idea!

Well, DD is going to a slumber party tonight - party at my house ! Yeah, right. Although maybe DH and I will go out to dinner or something! H really likes it now that DD is old enough to go spend the night with friends - he gets that look . Yeah, fat chance buddy!!!!

Speaking of which, I will be in Disney in 28 days, right? Which mean, that my stupid "friend" will be there too!!!!! I thought I had it all counted out and I was in the clear??? I guess I never was very good at math!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Okay gang. I am going to start getting things finalized and this will be the last time I have a few seconds, so I thought I would post a "see you later". Wish me luck - luck and warm weather.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Off to my 1500 ADRs soon!

 

[Debbie6221]

Bummer on the "friend".......
Yeah for DH on the slumber party! You know he will really be encouraging drunk posting tonight for you!
My DH has liked me watching paradise hotel, ER (did you see that last scene..hubba..hubba...) and something else was on my TIVO that was getting me all steamy.....
OK I know WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

I will probably miss you guys due to the time difference if we go to YMCA family swim but I will check in when I can.

 

[karajeboo]

Paradise Hotel? Was that the reality show about the young singles at that hotel???

Renee!!!! Have a blast! We'll miss you and we look forward to a ton of pics!!!!

Where is it????? We used to love it - sometimes just to make fun of it and say, "I can't believe I'm actually watching this!" But of course we tuned in every week!!!!!!

It's on locally and then again in the middle of the night on realityTV. Search it!

Bye Bye Sunshine...it's gone.......

Okay, couldn't resist...

A tornado touched down a county over from us. I think it did damage to several homes. So far they say one injury, one demolished home. It just happened so they don't know much. Love living in tornado alley. Didn't I mention that Orlando sounds nicer by the second?

Then I'm washing dishes and DD gets away from the kitchen without me noticing. Guess where she goes? To the fireplace, I catch her with 5 of those little lava rocks around her with one about to shove it in her mouth. I yell, "NO" and she tries to swallow it even faster. I get it out of her mouth with no idea if that was the first "snack" or not. So I call the ped, who tells me it should pass just fine and not to worry unless she doesn't act right, she has a bad tummy ache, she has blood in her stool or she vomits. Then we need to go in to the hospital. So I'm like do I stay home right now... Oh yeah, I also had to call poison controll. Turns out they are made out of salts, so there isn't a poision issue. GEE WIZ. So now I have to count on DH to watch her and we ALL know how that goes. I'm just so worried that I should stay.

Any words of wisdom? I mean, I want to say that she didn't eat one. She is really big about putting in bites that are too big or too hard and then using her tounge to get them out of her mouth, so I can't honestly say I think she ate one, but you never know either!

 

[karajeboo]

Renee..... you are going to Disney World and you are going to have a good time. Your DD will be fine!!! Lava rock would be pretty hard to swallow whole. I'm sure she didn't swallow one. Not to mention, even MY DH couldn't miss blood in her diaper or vomiting!!!! And it's Master's weekend and he'd still catch those two signs!!!! It will all be fine!!!!!
R E L A X !!!!! Deep breath? And release.....

I'm just SOOOOO worried. She actually couldn't injest them could she? I mean they are little though, about the size of pea gravel. I know that their airway isabout the size as their pinky, so how much bigger could their throat be at that age? I sware!!!!

I have had to call poison control a few times! They don't mess around. If they were worried they would have immdeiately sent to you to the ER!


Have an awesome trip!!!!!


I am STILL stressing over the airfare. Mom is still mad beacuse she said she thought I was booking the 219.00. We are both sick over the 70.00 difference we missed by a hair.
Now I am wondering if I should book with miles!
Bad thing is I saw the plane and it is filled!!!! So now I am afraid the flight is going to disappear all together!
