Ok, I get it now. I just wasn't sure if it was something you "read" or listen to.

 

[disneymeister]

Wow. Thanks for the pix. You looked so beautiful.

(i am now readjusting expectations for what I need to be ready for. I guess formal/semi-formal hadn't quite set in)

 

[LisaG520]

For us we get dressed up--Del wears his suit both nights(he has a mickey tie) and I still have to shop for my dresses cause I won't wear the same dress again---well maybe the red/white/black long dress(cause it was comfy) but normally no cause I don't want photos in the same dresses on our walls from different cruises. The girls have a closet full right now and I have a few for casual nights but I still need a formal and semi formal. I will probably wait till prom time and see whats left over on clearance.

Lisa love the hot pink and black one.....can I have it. ....Just kidding...well about having it but I do love it!!

I actually love the girls semi-formal dresses. Those believe it or not were a Target find $5 each

I got it at Penney's last year when the prom dresses all went 1/2 price

Also keep in mind if you do not want to get very dressed up there is dinner available at Topsiders (deck 9) at dinner it is sit down, not a buffet. we have never done this, but I have heard it is very nice and it offers the same menu as the dining room.

( I wont wear the same outfit twice because of pics... our Steeler jerseys we switched the colors and the backgrouds. lol.)

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Yeah sure Val.....it's ok we know you sleep in them.

 

[dismom73]

Don't forget there's always room service too! I like to dress up though, I don't get to do it that often.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I think it is important to remember that DCL does not have a strict dress code. The dress code for the various evenings is only ever a recommendation. As long as you do not wear shorts or swimwear, you are good on any evening.
I was probably the most formal on our dining rotation in my evening gown. I saw some cocktail dresses, some nice sundresses and loads of skirts or pants with a nice top. Most men wore a dress shirt, but not all wore ties and I saw hardly any jackets, never mind suits or tuxedos. The party on the table next to ours appeared in jeans, t shirts and denim jackets. I have to say I was a little taken aback by this initially, but that was there choice and why should they not be allowed to make this choice. They were treated like anybody else by the servers.
So please don't feel that you have to rely on the food options on deck 9 or room service on formal.semi-formal night if you do not enjoy dressing up. Wear whatever you are happy with and join your table mates in the dining room.

I dont need to sleep in my jersey, I have Steeler pjs!! We did Steeler pjs for Xmas 3 years ago.. all 5 of us had them on for Xmas morning.

You know the commercial out there that says "whats up with the lamp?" that is my sons room, only he has the lamp.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I love semi-formal and formal nights too Andrea- --I love dressing up. I wouldn't let Del go to dinner on those nights without his suit on. To each his own though. I have found some people's attire not up to standards but hey they aren't at my table ,so whatever! My girls and I just love feeling like a princess. We are people that Del wears his suit to all weddings, funerals, 1st communions and such. I just have this belief that there is a time and place for certain dress....I guess not everyone agrees and that's their right. But you will see us dressed up.
Now when the sales start up and everyone is finding deals let's tell each other so we can all benefit. . I hope I can find something after prom--so around June maybe they will be clearance. I have dresses for the girls but I might have to get them new ones if I can't find a dress for me to match theirs. U guys with boys have it easy....just throw em in a suit and done. Us with girls have extra heads of hair, colors to cordinate....auughhh Sometimes my girls will get in their pj's for shows(not steelers ones....).

well anyhow I hope everyone has a good day. I did my first workout this mornin with weights... These muscles better pop out.

I did my first work out with Jillian (biggest loser) last night. You've got to love On Demand. I feel it this morning but I don't feel too much pain.

By the way Jason(DS) has just informed me that Rafiki(monkey from teh lion king) is now one of his favorite character. Anyone know where I can get a picture of him for a magnet?

 

[dismom73]

I agree...to each his own. We choose to dress up, but if someone else doesn't, it doesn't effect our evening one bit.
Well, off to do the high school run. I'll check in later.

Ha Laura you worked out with Jillian and I worked out with Bob this morning! I did strength and sculpt today and I think this afternoon I am gonna do cardio....I usually am not this devoted so while I am----I am going with it!

Laura this is all I got on Rafiki

 

[dismom73]

Laura, I bet you could request Jasons name in Rafiki on Kellybells site. I wish I was as motivated as you Michelle. But I'm sticking to working out 3 times a week at the gym, and maybe twice at home from OnDemand. That's all I can muster right now.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Don't let this motivation fool you....this is some being in my body....LMAO not me! Though I did catch my butt in the mirror today and that was a good enough reminder why I am doing this.

I did the shed in 30 I guess you can loose 20lbs in 30days following this program.
I'm also doing WW. THat's going well so far. I'll keep you all updated.

That's so funny, cuz that's what got me motivated in the first place. I accidentally saw myself naked .

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

yeah Mirrors are great

 

[disneydiva16]

You guys are soooo disciplined!! I try to control myself and not eat too much or to do a little workout, but that snickers bar tasted really good with the pizza at lunch today. I just cant stop eating...oh noooooo

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Umm Robin----BE QUIET.... ..I don't wanna hear about your snickers bar and pizza. I saved 220 calories tonight so I could have a 1/4 cup of M&M's tonight cause my hormones need it! And Pizza....argg I want a piece so bad. We are going to our friends Sat and are talking about pizza...I will have to go to the store and find the ingredients to make it low cal myself. I was excited I found hotdogs that were only 50 cal, unlike normal ones that are 190 cal. Oh well as long as my butt disappears, well ok I know when U have a butt it won't go away but I would like it not to be a shelf.

 

[dismom73]

I'm only disciplined now because I have a time frame looming over my head. My free gym membership is up in March, so if I'm going to pay for a membership after that I want to see results before hand. I did loose 2.4 pounds this week though . But, that was after gaining 3 over the holidays . I'm like you Robin, I cant stop eating, which is why I've starting working out, so I don't have to stop eating. I value my calories, I cherish them, they are a part of me that I can't let go.
