Oh sweetie, you missed out! I just graduated in June 09 and we would always do stuff like that. In October, we had Spirit Week the whole week before Homecoming and each day was a different theme. Each year the themes for the days were different but some were, Decade Day (different grades were different decades), Superhero Day, Dress to Impress, Pajama Day, Opposite Day (same as Gender Bender - girls wear guys clothes, guys wear girls clothes), Color Wars (freshman wore yellow, sophomores red, juniors green and seniors blue) and "Raider Pride" Day where everyone wore school apparel or blue and white, which were our school colors. Everyone got SO into spirit week. Everyone dressed up and it was so fun!

I can't wait to be at where you are! 80 pounds down is fantastic girl! How did you do it? I know you can lose that 40 again if you want but I would love to plateu somewhere that I look good - even if it is not perfect.

We are not super flat like a tundra - that is more North Dakota and Iowa - just depends on where in the state you are.
We had a pop up and got rid of it a few years back. My goal is to buy a bigger camper 2 summers from now. Not a huge one - like roughing it - but off the ground please!

It has been 16 years since I was that heavy, it's been up and down since then. Mostly lost on weight watchers or straight calorie counting. And I have a crappy metabolism so I have to work out, which I know you already do! Usually I am happy if I can buy clothes in the "regular" department...I am a 16 now so no room to move up, I need to get back in a routine. Once in a while I will stop eating white starches and sugar or I will stop drinking, but that is always a temporary thing. Giving up wine is the hardest thing for me to do nowadays.


Look, I learned something today! Tundra=flat. I live in a state where we call hills mountains so I know flat. And the last time I went camping, we only went for one night so we opened the sun roof, rolled down all the windows, threw a mosquito net over top and slept in our SUV. When it got too hot one of us would reach forward and turn on the a/c for a minute.

That is a good idea about taking a class, and it would give me something to do. I have a friend who has a sewing machine that I'm sure I could borrow as I was learning and seeing if I liked it. My mom did try to teach me to sew in high school, but I kept threading the bobbin backwards and getting the needle stuck. (I'm extremely left-handed so I tend to do everything backwards.)
I have a gift certificate that my MIL gave me a while back to take a knitting class, (one of the nicest things she's has ever done for me) there's enough money on the gift certificate for lessons and to buy some needles and some yarn, I really need to get to it. Let me know if you get into a class, I can come up there with my sewing machine and you can teach me all your new sewing tricks, and I can teach you to knit!
Thanks! I'm not hard on myself usually, I've been fighting my weight for so long that I finally decided there was no point in fighting myself or feeling bad about it. It is what it is, sometimes I do better and sometimes not. I did workout with my biggest loser wii game yesterday on my day off, so I was happy about that. At my heaviest I weighed 80 pounds more than I do now but at my lightest I weighed 40 pounds less so I just need to head back the other direction.

You sound a lot like me in that respect, I finally came to a place in my life that I decided to stop beating myself up over something that isn't going to change over night. The more I beat up on myself the worse I felt, then the more I wanted to eat certain things to comfort myself. Vicious circle, huh?
I use to have this internal nagging voice going on inside my head that told me I had to hurry up and do this, and hurry up and get this done....it always had me anxious and in knots about me not getting to certain things.
Of course some of those things were my weight, eating right, exercising or anything else that I needed to do. Finally one day when having one of my many conversations with God, the light bulb came on to stop what I was doing....I had to trust more in Him to take care of the things that were in the way of me getting certain things done in my life, rather than trying to do everything in my own power.
He showed me there were things that needed nurturing, some things that needed healing, and some things that needed spiritual decluttering if you will before some of the pieces would come into place or barriers that I had been beating my head against for so long would finally come down.
Once I understood that, it's kinda been an easy process, s....l....o....w , but easy. My timing has never worked out....but His is always perfect, go figure.

Oh no, we had fun stuff like that for Spirit Week, we just didn't have Cross Dresser day! We had days like Black Out Day or Super Hero Day or something like that. We did have a whole week of boys VERSUS girls, but never boys as girls!!

Oh okay! I was going to say.. you were deprived of fun in high school! but Gender Bender day was the best!! At my school, one guy wore his sister's hot pink Soffee shorts, rolled 3 times, a white tank top and high heels. he walked really well in the heels too!! And he had long (for a boy) curly hair, and he straightened his hair! My school talked about that for about 2 months haha

Thats funny!! No, we definitely had tons of fun in high school!! All of our days were made up by our student government and stuff so maybe they just weren't into Gender Bender days? Sometimes they tried to get TOO creative and had like "Salad Dressing Day" where you could be 1000 Island and dress tropical, or Ranch and dress Western, etc.

Did your school do them just for fun or did they give out points between the classes and stuff? We had points and everyone got so into it and it was great!!

Hahahaha Salad Dressing Day is very funny. We had points, but our homeroom teachers were the ones who totaled them up and some of them, esp the AP teachers, just couldn't be bothered with it, so the points weren't always accurate. And the school made sure the seniors always won. So all in all, our points system was pointless. It was mostly just for fun!

I'm so excited for you!!! Are you staying DVC? You said something about taking food so that's why I was asking.
Living in Texas it just to long of a drive for us, so I order food (garden grocer) for us to have breakfast in our room, except for the MK days were I get breakfast from the Main St. Bakery , I have to get my MSB fix on while I'm there.
I'm so excited about our resort....this time we'll be staying at the CSR, we've never done a moderate, only value. I'm making it a surprise for our son who saw the pictures of the resort and said he wished we could stay there. He has no idea, he thinks we're staying at the Pop.

Hi Dawn,
Way to go on working out and calorie counting, I have never been a calorie counter cause my math sux, or I'm just too lazy, well both really, I love dill pickle spears, I just scrape off the juicy goodness and leave the pickle carcass though, I guess that's my way of counting calories. I'm still in physical therapy 3 days a week for 1 and 1/2 hours each session, I call that my workout. But dang it why aint I skinny yet?

I liked your camping story, I used to camp with my parents all the time as a kid, it's funny though, I had a boney little @ss and stick like legs but I could sleep on rocks and sticks never feeling a thing, now here I am and have the consistancy of bubble for a body but yet I lay on the tent floor, even with a pool float under my sleeping bag and I can feel every leave and shard of grass. Why is that? (I know you will have a great answer for that)
Are you ready for Turkey day?

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Welcome and where are you from

Thanks! My family is in Fergus Falls and Pelican Rapids. I lived in Hastings last in Jr. High. My parents dragged me to Oregon kicking and screaming, and I've been trying to get my husband to leave for years!

I'm all caught up now! It sounds like your family has a great time together! I'm looking forward to more about the soccer/camping trip!
