Meme's skinny jeans journal

[Auntmeme]

I'm ready for the weekend I do have a b-day party tomorrow so I'll have to be very focused if they have chocolate cake. I'm going to try to bring something low carb. I have to check out the recipes.

s-low carb cracker (1) w/ feta ch, spread
d-chick & broc stir fry w/ salsa & sc, sm salad
s-sf jello w/ wc

WATP this am
b-2 egg wh, 1 sl pr, 1 sl atkins br, low carb ket
s- pep slices
l- slices chick br & sh ch

Have not had any bars or shakes or candy this week. Will let you know if made a true difference.

I do literally roll out of that bed Doreen, it is the only way. So when I hit the floor I'm wide awake

Lulu - I think I did sign up, I know I completed the survey. I am so excited and don't care what anyone else thinks. I am doing that marathon come H-LL or high water
I also will begin to pack tomorrow. I just got my dh's b-day gift in the mail. I'm having him do the race car experience on our last day. He already knows but I got him a t-shirt too that he doesn't know about. When he's into his racing stuff he is soooo happy which of course makes me happy. Ahh the anticipation is starting to kick-in, how bout you? And for my trip I will be eating a large variety of items but will be sure to only eat when hungry.

MeMe, what race care experience do you mean? Test Track? Oh, that's fun! I've been doing some birthday planning, too, but mostly for DD. DH and I have said that this trip is pretty much it for our birthdays, but I do remember him saying something about buying me an anklet at a jewelry store in Nassau. . .I'll be sure to remind him about that! I want to pick up some birthday decorations to put on our cabin door--will try to do that tomorrow.

Is your husband going to wear a jacket at dinner at Triton's? DH doesn't really want to pack one--I think he's going to try to get away with a dress shirt and a tie. Fine with me.

I've started thinking about what I'll be doing a week from now, like "next Friday night at this time we'll be at the Halloween Party." I want to check the weather channel on-line, too, and see what kind of weather they're predicting for us. Hopefully it'll be dry.

DH says that I should not worry at all about what I'll eat. . .still thinking about that one!

And as far as our other plans go. . .yep, MeMe, it's the WDW half-marathon or bust! We'll have to put new countdown counters up when we get back!

Have a good time at the birthday party tomorrow. Be careful--you want to save those goodies for Palo!

Wahoo! 3 lbs - can't believe it. Tomorrow is weigh day but was at my moms and I use her scale. I didn't have any bars or shakes this week so maybe they were causing a slow down.

yesterday
d-chick wings, bl ch, celery, chick w/ch (applebees)
s-sf jello

today
b-mock danish coffee w/cr
l-8 little meaballs w/ sauce (church lunch)


I also am thinking where I'll be next week. Today I'll begin to pack, yeah!

The race car exp is at the (real) race track. It's part of the Richrd Petty driving school. He's doing the 4 hr experience, so I don't know if we'll go with him or not. I didn't think about the b-day decorations, I'm asking the hotel for some balloons.

 

[lulu201]

Geez, do I feel kind of dumb; I didn't know there was a REAL racetrack! It sounds like an awesome experience. My husband would LOVE something like that. . .maybe when we go in Jan. 2005 I could surprise him???

Today I ran around the mall with my daughter and then did some shopping of my own, trying to pick up little odds and ends to make things extra special--little snacks, the birthday decorations, little gifts, etc. I also found a cute little lint brush--I love all the miniature travel size things! Oh, and guess what else I bought? A sleep machine! My DH, who is the sweetest thing in the world, snores like a roaring lion!!! The little unit is portable so that I can bring it along when we travel. I love it! Lots of sweet dreams for me tonight!

Oh, MeMe, don't you think I forgot your celebration! Here's a three pound happy dance for you!!! WAY TO GO, MEME!


Say good-bye to those pounds, Maryellen, 'cause they're never going to weigh you down again!

Revel in your success!

Erin

MeMe - you're 3 pounds lighter!!! YAY FOR YOU!!

DH is a NASCAR fan - I bet he'll want to hear all about the driving experience!! I hope your husband enjoys it! I've heard reviews from other people who have done it and they've all loved it, so I'm sure he'll have a great time!

Have fun dreaming about the great vacation ahead! I know I'm counting the days until I go again! I hope your packing goes easily and that your week goes quickly and that your vacation is a breezy wonderful time!

 

[nancyj_pa]

MeMe...Congrats on your new clippie. You're doing great!

Your trip will be here before you know it. You must be so excited by now!! Try not to stress out too much this week. You'll be relaxing soon.

 

[lulu201]

MeMe, thanks for coming to my defense and beating up my scale for me. That nasty thing deserved it! This morning I weighed in a pound less; rings fit better. I'm going to weigh-in officially again on Thursday morning before we leave for my in-laws (we're leaving from their house Fri. a.m.), so I hope I'm wearing my 10 lb. clippie then.

I'm going totally nuts here what with work and last minute things to do. Last night was Back to School Night (didn't get home 'til 9:30), tonight is the school's Star Party--watching the night skies from telescopes on the football field (won't get home from that until 9:30), and tomorrow night I work 'til 8. I NEED A VACATION--or a chocolate chip cookie at the very least!

Hope to check in again soon,
Lulu

 

[DoeWDW]

Hi MeMe!! I just popped in to say.....

Hope you have a great day!!

 

[Auntmeme]

No exercise yet but maintaining the food plan. Can't remember what I ate so I start with today.

b-1 egg wh, 2 sl pork roll, low carb roll, butter & keto jam, coffee w/ cream

Your welcome Lulu! I knew that scale could do better. I hope on thursday you get your new clippie, I'll be checking. Have a wonderful trip, we'll compare notes when we return.

Thanks for stopping by Nancy & Doreen!

 

[Auntmeme]

Countin down till vaca-yippie!

l-pep & chick w/ch & salsa, diet sprite
d-shrimp & sauce, pork chop breaded & fried - did the pork rinds breading and it was really good.

Still no exercise - I feel so tired, where is my energy?
I'm a little down, tom is coming and I have a funeral to attend friday. My aunt passed away, unexpectedly. She was great, good mom, kind person and now I have to read at her service. I just saw her last month, life is tough sometimes. So friday I'll need strength, I just may need some chocolate

 

[lulu201]

{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hugs for MeMe}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}. So sorry to hear about your aunt and your sadness. She sounds like she was a special person whose memory you'll cherish.

You sound like you have a LOT going on--getting ready for vacation and the stress (even though it's exciting) that surrounds it, the loss of your dear aunt, TOM, trying to eat right. . .no wonder you don't have much energy. You're using it all up!! Sometimes we're so in the middle of things, we don't realize how much is being used of us. You're tired. Just go with it for now. I have a feeling that the Florida sunshine will help a lot.

Have a good day, Maryellen. I'm thinking about you.

Erin

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

I hope all goes well for you this week. I know this will be such a hectic time. Make sure you plan plenty of relaxation time into your vacation. It sounds like you just need some time to recharge your batteries.

Be good to yourself today!!

 

[lulu201]

to you, MeMe. I know that you're swamped with different things, but I hope you're able to check in here to your journal before you go. Have a great trip--enjoy every minute. I know that seeing Parker's face as he experiences all these wonderful
"firsts" will bring you so much happiness. Have fun, relax, take care.

Meme,
Enjoy your trip. Hope the weather is beautiful. It's lovely there in October. That's when we went two years ago.

Let us know when you get back. I wish I had a trip planned for this year, but maybe soon.

 

[Auntmeme]

Thanks for all your support. I am back to 0 cheat free days. Had a bit of fries today. But happy to say did watp this am. Stress level is way high so I won't be checking in for 2 weeks. And of course I can't possibly track all my meals so tah-tah for now. But I'll be back

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I hope you have a WONDERFUL trip!! Enjoy it all!!

 

[Castillo Mom]

Hi Meme! I've been away so long I forgot you'd be on your trip by now. Hope you're having a fabo time! I'll check in with you soon!

 

[lulu201]

Hi, MeMe! I've been thinking about you all week! Maybe you're coming home today!

Did you have a great time on the trip? What did you think of the cruise? Was Parker totally amazed by it all? Bring pictures to our walk on the 25th, OK?

I had a happy time walking and eating my way through WDW and the Bahamas, but I have absolutely no regrets!

Talk to you soon,
Lulu

P.S. Who were your waitstaff on the ship? We had Karen and Igor--they were terrific!

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I hope you had a wonderful time!!! We've missed you!!

 

[Auntmeme]

Hi all, I've returned from our wonderful vacation. Sad to be home but I booked another cruise so I have something to look forward to. Don't have alot of time so I'll write more later. I'm back on Atkins and have no regrets about eating all that great food. Have not hit the scale yet and don't plan to till Saturday. I have to check about the walk on saturday.
