MeMe,

So glad you had a wonderful vacation. Which cruise did you book?

You'll have to tell us all about it when you get some time. Glad you're back.

YAY!!! MEME'S BACK!!!! We missed ya, can ya tell????

I'm glad to hear you had a good trip. You sound like me - the only way to beat those post-trip blues is to.....book another trip!

Have a great day!

 

[lulu201]

Hi, MeMe!!! Welcome back! Glad you had a great time on the cruise--will you tell me all about it on Saturday at the walk? Are you still going to be able to come? I'm with Nancy--I want to know about the next trip, too!

It took me almost over a week to get back on the scale after we got home Like you, I had no regrets.

Looking forward to meeting you in person!

Erin

Hey, MeMe. . .see you tomorrow?

Can't make it tomorrow. Sorry girls. Just too busy and ds has a cold, want to be a good mom and will most liely stay inside. I have been sooo busy. Work, housework, the mail (yikes), getting my warm clothes out, my house is a disaster zone. But I wouldn't change a thing. the 11 nights in with disney were great. The first week had some challenges at the parks, way toooo crowded. I did enjoy the Port Orleans but next time i may have to splurge on a resort with the monorail, those buses were packed. The Magic Kingdom was the best yet the worst, after the parade the streets were gridlocked with people trying to leave, it was a little scary. We loved MNSSHP and would highly recommend. We enjoyed Chef Mickeys the best for character dinners. i've saved the best for last, THE CRUISE. Ahhh the luxury, fantastic shows, awesome food, the best customer service, castaway cay, I had to book another. I will be skipping the parks and doing the cruises. There are small lines to see the characters but nothing compared to the parks and it was relaxing as well as fun. I'm going to try to do a trip report with more info. I never got to meet up with anyone from the boards, oh 1 young girl (tessa) on the ship, I saw her the first day and that was it.. It's hard to know who to look for, even if they are wearing lime green. Maybe with the new shirts it will be better.

Anyway my diet plan went out the window though my clothes are fitting great so I don't think I gained alot. My dh gained 12 lbs, yes 12 however he can afford to. he had 4 desserts on our last night. I have not had a chance to exercise since I've been home but will try next week. I have started atkins again as of Monday. I now have a goal to lose at least 10 by 11/27, oh my my 20 year high school reunion - yikes

I've missed you all and am glad to back, hopefully we can meet up another time. And Lulu I am still aiming for the 1/2 marathon in 1/2005 but I need to start doing the training and my mom may do it. Could you please tell me where that web site is again? I plan to check up on all of you this weekend

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, it sounds like you had the BEST time!! I'm so happy that your vacation was magical!! Isn't it amazing how everything at home just slips away when you're there? You can truly relax and enjoy your family. That's what keeps us going back!

I'm sorry we won't get to meet you tomorrow, but your "mommy" job is the most important job right now. I'm sure we'll get another chance to meet up. I hope DS is feeling better soon!!

 

[lulu201]

Aww, MeMe, we missed you today, but you were where you needed to be. I sure hope Parker is feeling better and you'll be able to join us another time. There's talk about us meeting again and doing the AVA New Hope walk. . .maybe you'll be up for that one when it rolls around.

Take care--
Erin

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, we missed ya! I hope Parker's feeling better and you're feeling more relaxed and caught up. That post-vacation catch-up time always leaves me feeling like I need.....another vacation!

{{ Hugs }} and pixie dust for a speedy return to the normal routine!

 

[lulu201]

Hi, MeMe. I hope you're lurking out there somewhere. Make sure you're taking care of yourself, and have a good week.

Lulu

 

[DoeWDW]

I just had to pop in to say hello, MeMe!! I hope all is going well with you. I'm sure you're busy but I want you to know that we're still cheering you on and saving your spot for when you return!

Onward and downward!

 

[Castillo Mom]

Just checking in for a quick hello. Glad to hear you had a blast on your vacation. Hope all is well with your family, cold/flu season coming up you know. Take care!

 

[Auntmeme]

Hi everyone, it seems I just don't have enough time in my day or week to get to the boards. I do miss ya all and hope everyone is losing tons of excess. I am glad to report my scale is the same so if I gained any on vaca I have lost it already. So I begin anew.

b-egg wh, 1 ch, low carb ket, 1 sl atkins br & low carb jam, coffee w/ cr
l-2 sl ch, tuna salad, coffee
s- diet van coke
did part of the WATP this am, I'm working myself back up to the full workout, it is so easy to get out of the routine.

I'm on my way home and dinner will be on the plan. I'm thinking of tossing all that halloween candy, it is so tempting. Actually I think I've had at least 1 mini piece each day if not more. Arghh. Chocolate is my demon. I think I'd like to be buried in melted chocolate, better yet I've heard the hershey spa has a chocolate spa package where you soak in chocolate, do you think you gain weight that way? I thought the idea of a spa was to lose weight??? I could talk chocolate all night

I hope you girls have remained steadfast in your healthy habits, I promise to check soon. I really do need a vacation from the vacation, how would that work? I'd be on vacation all the time, do you think that's how the millionaires live??? if I won the lottery, I'd have time for the gym, oh heck I'd have my own gym and a trainer and a cook and a maid. I really need to go get a lottery ticket. Gotta go - who's losing and how much????? I see we have the cheat free days again, I am at 1-wow! where did you get the turkeys??

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe. Good to see you back on the boards! Glad you've shed those cruise poundages and are leading the healthy life! Check out the boards for the Thanksgiving Challenge, get yourself a turkey, and join the fun! Also, there's a New Year's Challenge out there, too.

Take care.
Erin

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe!!!! We missed ya!!! I'm glad to see you're back!

Actually the Spa at the Hotel Hershey does all sorts of interesting things with chocolate - facials, full body wraps, etc. I live 20 minutes away but have never gone there. Maybe that should be my reward when I hit goal - hmmm, I hear they leave chocolate candy laying around so maybe I should wait until I'm UNDER my goal.... Anyone care to join me????

I'm glad to hear you've recovered from vacation and the scales were kind. Are you ready to get back to business?? It sounds like you're working toward getting back in the groove. I've been slouching on my exercise lately too - thanks for the reminder to ease myself back into it.

Onward and downward, MeMe!

 

[Auntmeme]

Made it through today.

Last night
d-2 hamburgers, mayo & must, coleslaw

today
b-1sl atkins, low carb jam, egg wh & low carb ket
l- chick fajitas no tortillas
water & coffee all day

no exercise this am, plan for tomorrow
Will try to be faithful this thanksgiving and then I will have those evil mashed potatoes. My highschool reunion is that Saturday and I want to lose more so I can look better and feel better.

 

[DoeWDW]

Good for you, MeMe! I see you're back on the cheat-free wagon with us! Your beautiful bear clippie isn't showing, though. Did you accidentally hit the ENTER key after your first IMG tag??

Hope you have another wonderful and cheat-free day today!

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe, I'm running like crazy here, but I wanted to leave this website with you: www.thewalkingsite.com. Go there and look around for training info--they have the beginners walk, half-marathon, and full marathon training. I'll check in with you again later. Have a great day and keep treating yourself right!

Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Still here, but very busy. Making progress but again at 3 cheat free days. Each Saturday seems to be a challenge.

Checked measurements and they are now the same as 1998 - that was my first mini goal- YEAH, I did it. And IT feels good

I have yet to get into the exercise groove, what's wrong with me? I can't seem to drag myself out of bed in the morning, probably because I don't go to bed early enough. Someone needs to kick my butt into gear

Well what are my new goals, uhmmm.....

1. Skinny jeans (still not able to zip-maybe if I lay on the floor but I won't be able to get up )
2. Dress for high school reunion - hip, sleek yet sexy
3. Cheat free till Thanksgiving staying at about 20 gm carbs
4. Exercise 4 days/week - get to be early!!!
5. Take vitamins each day, have them all in the cabinet need to put out on counter.
6. Enjoy life

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe! Great to have you around! Did I hear you say that you're going to get up and exercise tomorrow? Well, you might as well, 'cause you're gonna hear me all the way in Newtown telling you to get your butt out of bed and walk the walk!!!! Only said in love, of course, only said in love.

Have a good day tomorrow. Two weeks until Thanksgiving. . .I'm going to try to match your challenge and stay cheat-free 'til then, too. It's not going to be easy, though, I'm almost in the PMS Danger Zone. (Hide your cookies--I can't guarantee their safety! )

Off to visit Doreen, update my journal, and hit the sack.

Erin

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I like your goals!! When you are proudly wearing those skinny jeans (and that HS reunion dress!), please take pics and share them, OK??

You sound like you are back on track! You and Erin are leaving me in the dust so I'm gonna have to get in gear and join you all. I'll take the cheat-free til Thanksgiving challenge too, starting today! We can do it together!

Now, did you exercise today?? Even in Lancaster county I could hear Erin calling you!! Time to start moving again!!
