Sorry gang, MIA over Christmas.

Hope Santa was good to you all!!!!!

Started to make 1 of our pirate costumes, DH's I have 4 pirate costumes and 4 halloween costumes to make by October. They won't have pirates night on halloween will they??? Does anyone know????


Thanks for the picture posting instructions, I will try and post this afternoon.

Gotta go hit the grocery store before it gets crazy, diet starts today.

Do you guys want to do a weight in to keep each other accountable??? No specific weights unless you want to just pounds lost will be ok as well. I have no problem telling people my weight I was 178 this morning and measurements are 43.5 38 44 my goal weight by Oct is 150 - 140 I will decide how I look when I get to the 150 mark. What do you all think?? I don't mind keeping track.

Have a super day all.

i JUST woke up from being asleep for 48 hours......except for a doctor visit....
I REALLY DID NOT FEEL GOOD!!!!

BUT they gave me a zpack so that should get me going here soon!

I missed all of christmas day....I tried to get online and my PC was acting up so i thought, i will just lay down for a bit, and woke up 4 hours later took some tylenol, kissed the kids and went back to bed.

Now i have 2 days off as i was supposed to be at work yesterday and didnt go.

Maybe i can rest and draw up my halloween costumes!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Abby......I love your avatar......It resembles my mickey head tatoo....VERY CUTE!

Arlene......How did your gift go? I bet they loved it!

KIM......They did not have pirate and halloween night the same night on our last cruise so i doubt that they would........They are both 2 very seperate events!!!!!! CONGRATS on starting your stuff so early!
AND yeah i will play the weigh in game......... WOW before i got sick i was 144 i am as of yesterday 139 and hope to be 120 before the cruise. I do not know my measurement but will get those to ya!!!!! I am 5 ft though, i think that is always good to know when you dont see each other cuz that can have alot to do with how much one should weigh!


dizneycruiser.......I am thinking about a tinkerbell too! I think our tradition for getting tatoos will be when our kids are gone for summer break for 2 weeks with gran.... so i will probably get mine in JUNE! WOOHOO!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

And just for fun........We used to post this on my last cruise thread....Kind of cool to see who is the mouthiest........I had NO IDEA it was me!!!!

My Posts were up to over 1000 on last cruise.......HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERY ONE!

Happy Holidays!

The Gluttons closed on their new home on December 20th, with 10 minutes to spare before I had to rush off to work. The n we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on December 21st and stayed at All Star Music for the night, shopping at Downtown Disney the nest morning, rushing home so I could go get more holiday shopping done with my Mom that afternoon.

Wrapped presents and hid them all day on Sunday, before going off to work a twelve hour night shift that same night. Came home the morning of Christmas Eve to bake, decorate, take a quick nap, before spending time with my family that evening.

Kids were determined to catch Santa, so they were up and down all night. He still managed to arrive before the youngest awoke just shy of 2 am to come tell us.

Yesterday spent most of the day at Home Depot and here installing ceiling fans and blinds.

Sorry you've been sick Dizzi :-(

The Christmas pictures were just beautiful!

I work tonight and then am off until Jan 2nd, so I should be able to get back here again soon! LOL

Cannot wait for our household goods to arrive from Montana and settle into a schedule!

Gave DH and the kids a cruise goody bag for Christmas. Now they are so excited about the cruise!

Hey, I need to post more. I am not this quiet in person...really I am not. Only 48 posts? Hard to believe.

Hockeychic are we meeting over on the community board? When do we start? I will be ready to start next week. I was supposed to be starting several weeks ago but I have really blew it the last few weeks. I work with a food nazi who watches every bite I take at work. I really need it. No real control here. I said I am putting up a sign that says "No feeding the nurses". Every patient and the doctors seem to give us junk food this past 2 weeks.
I have been thinking about doing Weight Watchers. I think my husband will go with me. I can't believe the cost now. I remember when it was $3. I guess I am really showing my age.

 

[dizzi]

i have done weight watchers before, and will rely mostly on that for loosing for the cruise. I know they have changed things up a bit since my WW days, but points are points.

OH MY speaking of points we have a coffee cake at work that is 18 points...I think i will have one more of them before i start my diet! they are soooo goood but 18 points is very close to all i can have in a day!!! WOW that is one great coffee cake!

 

[disney4dana]

I'm in for a weight loss group. I need someone to help keep me accountable. I love to stare at the treadmill. I am 5'8" so my weight is a surprise to most. I would love to lose 30-40. Avg 3-4 a month. That's doable.
The holidays are terrible for dieting at work. Why doesn't anyone appreciate a nurse with something besides food?

It has been a crazy December with work in our house. Haven't seen DH much. He is a supervisor for city snowplow operations. He went 23 days of work straight. Bonus $$ for cruise is all I keep thinking.

here is our pirate costumes from Aug Will probably use them again.

 

[shrpgrl]

Those costumes are really nice. Still have not decided if we will dress up. Sounds like it would be fun.
I think we will stay at WDW after the cruise. We just could not decide but I think it would be better to unwind after. If not I would have to go right back to reality and I really do not want to.

 

[NewfieMom]

Hey everyone, and Merry Christmas . Haven't been posting much lately, but have been reading along. Would love to do the weight loss thing - just don't know how successful I will be . I'll just have to put a photo on the fridge that was taken of me on a Carnival cruise in September where I was getting off the water slide and the top of my tankini has risen up a little - not pretty ! That should motivate me!

Christmas has been crazy, and I was way behind in getting ready this year. Thank goodness we have these weird kids who asked to go to bed at 9:15 on Christmas Eve, went to sleep immediately, and never woke until 8! I remember not being able to get to sleep at all Christmas Eve - don't know where I got my kids! Was telling DH - as I was baking a cake Christmas Eve (told you I was way behind this year!) - that I would not be this behind next year. Then I remembered that we will be cruising in October, which will mean Christmas planning will be off the radar until November. It could be really interesting, but worth every minute !! I will just have to be very organized next fall!

As for costumes, we didn't dress up for pirate night last year, but hoping to this time. DH is in agreement so far, and the kids are really excited about Halloween on the Magic. I want to do days at WDW before, and maybe even after - it will depend on flights and what days we will need to fly to get the best deal. Stayed at POP last time - it was great. I want to do MNSSHP as well - can't be in WDW in October and not go, especially as have never been before. It will all be a juggle between flights, finances (determined to not go into debt on this trip ) and how long can justify taking the boys out of school. As I sit here and look at the snow coming down, wondering how bad the forecasted storm tonight and tomorrow is going to be, it's great to remember that in 10 months we'll be on the Magic! Can't wait !

Is DCL going to be charging a fuel surcharge like RCCL and Carnival are? Just curious. I would rather pay more for my cruise than be charged extra for fuel. I am going to take my Mom on RCCL in feb. I paid for it in full when I booked. Now it shows that I owe them. They did not notify me of it either. I am calling them in the morning to complain that they did not let me know.
I wish I could bill my job a fuel upcharge to offset the cost of getting to/from work. Wonder what they would say if everyone did that. Right now we are paying the trash company an upcharge for gas even though they have a contract with our town. I never know how much the bill will be until we get it. I really resent that. Silly I know. I need to stop stressing over it since I have no control over it.

Hi everyone

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

I am definitely needing a weight loss / toning up programme starting on 2nd January - I think I have doubled my weight in the past 3 weeks! I plan to weigh myself on 2nd January, and I anticipate needing to lose about 20lbs at least. I also need to take up some form of exercise, as I am so unfit!

There seem to be quite a few nurses on here - I am a midwife, but I am also a qualified nurse. It seems to be the same over here, as all our clients ever give us are chocolates and biscuits (cookies). At Christmas we end up with so much that I am always looking forward to January and more healthy simple food!

I am definitely keen to join any weight loss group!

disney4dana - I love your pirate costumes!

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey there, I will go back and catch up on the posts, I was going to try and post a picture....WISH me luck

 

[Hockeychic]

OK what did I do wrong????

 

[dizzi]

IF you have your picture on photobucket........then the hard part is done....

Right under your picture there are 4 links the very bottom one says... IMG code left click on that ,then come here and right click, paste!

YOU WILL GET IT!!!!!!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

OK here it goes

 

[Hockeychic]

ya, I did it. well that is my tink tattoo.

Wow, looks like alot of us want to lose a few in the next 10 months. I can make a seperate thread if you all want, I guess that would make sense and if most are starting Jan 1st that can be our official start date. Do you want me to do it on the community board, or even under the WISH section?? What do you all think. I can list our names and the amount of weight we hope to lose and weekly weigh ins. What do you think??? I have never done one of these before so whatever you all think works the best is great with me.

Lynn, hope you are feeling better.

Kim

 

[shrpgrl]

The community board is okay. What will our thread be called? Losing Cruisers? The double dip weight droppers? Come on, we can come up with a good name. Cool tattoo by the way.
