Mike' Make Over Madness!

[toystoryduo]

Hey Mike!

I hope you get the chance to get some R & R this weekend.... And when I say, "R & R", I mean relaxation and research: Disney style! What better way to relax than to sit back with a nice glass of ice water and research WDW till your heart's content? Sounds like a plan to me! I just WISH I could follow it!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks pearlieq, Chris, and Julie!!! I appreciate being able to pop in my office for two minutes between sessions and see the encouragement.

We are heading into day three! Food wise I have now survived a trip to a China Buffet, and a spaghetti and meatballs dinner! And as I am going to update my sig now I can't wait to tell you that I am down 6lbs this week!!! That puts me over the 50lb mark and I get my silver clippie. I am sooo excited!!!!

I will update the challenge later this weekend! For now i am off to dance my way over to the first place we are meeting today!


Have a happy & healthy one all!! I hope to get to your journals soon Jen, Jen, Jenn, Don, Julie, Pearlieq, Jamie, Tracy, Lesli, Cam, Lisa, and kardiebelle (and anyone I may have forgotten in my excitement!!) I miss reading about your adventures!

Mike

Finally, caught up. CONGRATULATIONS! Making it to the 50's must really be cool. Hopefully in the next few months, I will know how it feels. You have now officially lost over 26% of your original goal. GO MIKE!

Glad you were able to get your trip. You know with all the Disney trips you do, you really need to check into DVC. But then I would say that because I am a member. As far as the dining plan, I don't think it is worth it unless you plan on eating all of your meals "out" and plan on eating enough to get your money's worth. Kind of like the problem with buffets. Pay the $10 to have a fridge in your room and put in some fruits and veggies to snack on or have breakfast with when you are relaxing and not in the parks. As far as letting the snack credits take care of the water, save yourself some $ and get a water bottle that you can carry with you and refill. Most of the water in the park wasn't that bad and I am very picky on my water. If you watch what you are eating and portion the meals just right, you will save yourself alot of $. That is just my opinion.

Hope you have a good day!

Hi Tracy!

No relaxing for me this weekend, training continues every day until next Sunday which is move in day. I just got home for the night and left at 7am hehe. I will be up at 6am tomorrow and gone all day too. I need to get to bed soon!

Hope you are well,
Mike

Congratulations on your 50 pound clippie Mike!!! You are doing a fantastic job!!! Keep up the good work!

I'm sending some super-duper, energizer bunny your way for the week ahead. I hope you get some R & R next weekend!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

 

[Lesli54]

I hope you have had a few minutes to slow down and get some rest. Will this week be any better? I guess as long as you are busy, you can't over eat. Just make sure your choices are healthy ones.

Have a wonderful day!

 

[pearlieq]

Sending your way! I hope things quiet down and you get a few moments to breathe!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Mike!

Just a few more days now....Here's some to help you through the rest of the week.

Take care!

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Mike.....Hope you are having a good week. I hope the weekend comes soon so that you can get some R&R

Take care!

 

[Mykelogan]

Thanks so much you guys for hanging in there with me!! It means a lot!! I will be catching up soon I hope!!!! Training continues til Saturday night & then we open Sunday. Right now I am beyond stressed and upset because one of my RAs resigned yesterday (long story short, he was dating another RA & cheated on her for a year with yet another RA)... so I am angry, sad, lost, and confused all at once! But I will get through it! Right now, knowing I get to see Mickey in april is keeping me going!! My eating has been good though and I have been moving a lot so that is reflected in being down another 4 pounds. So I got a new clippie, One ray of sunshine at least!!

I hope that you are all happy & healthy!
Have a great day,
Mike!

Hey, Mike! I was just coming over to give you a and to let you know I am thinking of you, and I was so excited to see that you have posted. I am sooo sorry you have all this stress. It is so impressive that you are being so diligent with your eating even through all of this! I LOVE your new clippie! It is gorgeous! It really is exciting to see your mini-weight loss challenge ticker moving along so steadily. You are doing great, buddy.

Just know that there are a lot of people here who adore you and WISH you less stressful days. Keep up the great work and your awesome attitude.

Hugs,
Cam

 

[Lesli54]

CONGRATS on the new clippie! That is so cool. At this rate, you will be wasted away by Christmas time. Looks like you will definitely make your goal before going back to WDW.

Too bad you have to deal with a cheating RA. But then, they are still young and unfortunately some still haven't figured out the do's and don'ts of life.

Hope that the rest of the week goes well for you.

 

[toystoryduo]

Ahhh Mike,

I'm sorry about all of the stress that you have at work right now. I hope that everything gets worked out as quickly as possible.

I am so proud of you, Mike! Despite all of the stress and busyness of your life as of late, you are still losing weight and gaining new clippies all the time! What is your secret? I keep losing the same 8 pounds over and over again. Of course... I gain them over and over again too. Seriously, Mike... You are doing a most excellent job and I know that you will make your WDW goal when you go in April. Go Mike! Go Mike!

I hope that the rest of the week is a good one for you. Prayers and on the way!

Thanks SOOOOO MUCH Cam, Lesli & Tracy!!!!

I definitely needed to check in here tonight and get some good vibes from everyone. Things are rough & rougher but we trudge through. We made the decision today to move someone from another staff to mine. It was our last choice but the best one we have at the moment. The RA moving is 100% willing and excited, but the staff he is leaving (not the supervisor, he was 100% supportive of the move) is not dealing well at all, and lashed out at me & my staff a bit tonight. I know it is just initial reactions and will smooth over but I don't like to see my staff in pain. I hope it passes soon as we look forward and not backward.

Besides all of this it has been such an amazing week of training and team building. We are almost done, I am sooo excited!!! I cannot wait until all the students are here and we are in "normal" mode again. I did something I was not sure I would this week. During a sharing activity, when we were supposed to share a challenge we were working on I talked about my dieting and the WISH. It was emotional and great. Many many people had noticed my changes and have been sooo supportive. Especially my staff, I just love them!! hehe! Wish I could take them with me to WDW! LOL

I am off for now, we have to meet soon with the Campus Police to introduce our staffs to the third shift officers. Wish me luck!!!

Have a happy & healthy night all!
Mike

 

[Lesli54]

Glad to hear that you are surviving training week. It is great that you were able to share your weight loss journey success with others. That say it. You are stuck with us now until the end.

Hope that today goes well for you.

 

[toystoryduo]

Just a few more days now, Mike! I'm sorry to hear about the friction between the two staffs, but like you said... it's probably just an initial reaction and everything will be fine soon. You know... you can always invite both staffs out for pixie dust smoothies!

I'm glad that you had the chance to share your weight loss journey with your group. You have done a fabulous job so far, Mike and I bet you have encouraged several people and inspired them too.

Have a wonderful next few days, Mike!
