I love reading about MNSSHP! We're going to our first one this year and I can't wait! Costumes are still in the works, we're having a hard time all deciding...
You are going to love MNSSHP! It's so much fun! I wish we did costumes, but Brandon refuses, and I felt weird if I went in costume and he didn't. If we go again this year, I'm definitely going in a costume!
I actually just had a cheat meal. We went to one of our favorite Italian places and I had garlic bread AND pasta AND a couple of alcoholic beverages.
I was feeling like I wanted to eat everything bad for me today but I stayed on track for breakfast and lunch. So yay me!
On a more depressing note, I weighed in this evening and I only lost 1.3 pounds. It's frustrating because I thought I made the best choices this week. My trainer also said that she wanted to see 15 pounds when I saw her in 3 weeks (and that was last week). That isn't going to happen. With that small number this week and I know I won't lose weight on vacation. So...
On my no carb day this week I had egg beaters, fruit and OJ. For a snack I had some yogurt and grapes. Lunch was turkey lunch meat, celery, carrots, hummus, peanut butter and clementines. Dinner was chicken breast, fresh spinach and green beans. I felt satisfied and didn't miss the carbs at all.
I do have FB but I'm not sure if you can search me or not. PM me and we can exchange info! I can also send you pictures when I'm in Disney NEXT WEEK!!!
Ugh, I hate those days where you just feel like you want to eat bad!
I always want to eat bad on Friday, I feel like I made it through the week, I need a reward! I have to get out of that mindset.
Don't be too upset about only losing 1.3 pounds, at least it's still a loss!
And I wouldn't worry too much about vacation either, you will probably be walking around a lot! When I was doing WW in December, and we went to Disney, when I went to my meeting when we came home, I thought I gained like 3 pounds, and I actually lost a pound! I think that was because of all the walking!
I actually just rejoined WW yesterday. I'm going to officially start tomorrow and really try to stick to it for the 6 weeks we have left before vacation! I'm really hoping to lose 20 pounds. I think I can do it if I really focus!
Your no carb day sounds like it would be do-able if I ate that stuff! I hardly eat any vegetables, which is why it would be so hard for me to do that! I should give it a try through, one day a week won't kill me!
Ahhh love the picture with the Winne the Pooh gang! So adorable! Pooh is my fav and Kyle's fav is Eeyore.
So jealous you got Buzz! We just started collecting last November and decided to collect exclusively Toy Story characters. So far we have Rex, Jessie, Hamm, Bullseye, Wheezy and Lots-O. We live about 15 minutes from the Mall of America which has a
Disney store, but not Toy Story Vinylmation.
As much as I love EPCOT, I am always saddest when I know I won't be going back to MK until another trip.
Thanks! I love Winnie the Pooh, I was so happy to see them on the way out!
It took me that whole week to get Buzz! Do you know how many times I'd buy a Toy Story Vinyl and get Rex or Hamm?
I'd love to get Jessie and Woody, I hope they still have the Toy Story Vinyls when I'm there in a few weeks!
Leaving MK is always so hard! Knowing you won't see the castle again til your next trip is so depressing!
Getting stuck on a ride panics me too!
I never saw those spider webs, that is too cool!! When we were there the line for jack and for the dwarfs were both insane. I am sure Tim wanted to wait but I said no
YAY for the Buzz Vinylmation!! We also have that one and he is one of my favorites, I love his helmet!!
Sometimes getting stuck is fun, like when you get stuck in HM (which ALWAYS happens!) but only if it's for a few minutes! If you don't move for a while, it starts to get a little scary!
Yeah, the lines at those parties are so long! They should start doing FP's for those really popular characters, like Jack and the Dwarves...even the Genie and Jasmine line was out of control!
Ugh, garlic bread is one of my weaknesses! If I smell it, I want it and who can eat just ONE piece of garlic bread!? Unintentionally, I have cut WAY back on the amount of carbs I've been consuming and I've been avoiding going to Italian restaurants so I'm not tempted! My thing is that if it's in front of me, I will eat it, so I just have to avoid all of the stuff that's bad for me. When I go out to eat, I order my meal without fries. If they're in front of me, I'll eat them even if I don't really want them!
I wish they would bring the P & PP back! It was SO fun, even if we were literally up to our ankles in rain! I used to be weird around the face characters too but you really have to picture them AS the character to make it work. If you sit there and think "I'm sitting here talking to a grown woman who thinks she's Princess Jasmine" you'll get all flustered and feel stupid! You have to get it in your head that it's the REAL Princess Jasmine (or Jack Sparrow!) and it will be much easier! They actually REALLY like to interact with adults! Especially Jack...He likes being able to make...ahem...comments...that the young kids don't fully understand if you catch my drift lol He told my brother's girlfriend that he was "saving her for port" when she volunteered to be in the Pirate Tutorial show
You should definitely start WW again! It REALLY helps to keep me mindful of what I'm eating. For example....the Honey BBQ Chicken Supermelt at Friendlys....Yeah....41 points! Just for the sandwich! FORTY ONE! That is more than my entire daily allowance! When something is assigned a point value, and you KNOW how awful it is for you BEFORE you make the decision to eat it, you will really start to feel better about yourself for having the will power to say no. The more you make better choices, the better you feel about yourself and then the more likely you are to stay on a routine. Basically, it's all in our heads and we need to pay WW to run the guilt trip on us! I go back to the doctor on Tuesday for the recheck on my foot so hopefully it's better and I can get back on my bike!
I had a HORRIBLE cheat day, today! I went WAY over my points and probably killed off my Weekly Allowance points too! Of course we went to West Farms...which means we ate at RFC...which doesn't supply their nutritional information to the public so it's basically impossible to get an accurate points value on any of their food. Then we stopped for ice cream (and not a cup of ice cream...Waffle Cones. And mine was dipped in chocolate and then coated in sprinkles....
), and for dinner, my parents took us to Senor Panchos (although I was still so full from lunch at RFC that I only ate one of the three tacos on my plate. So I guess dinner wasn't too bad...but I just had 4 Keebler Coconut Dream cookies (basically, the Keebler equivalent of the Girl Scout's Samoas) with some milk...that's was 11 points right there! But I haven't had a "bad day" like this since I started WW a month ago and I know I'm not falling off the bandwagon or anything. I just needed a day off!
Oh, and once you stop eating stuff like carbs (for me, again, Garlic Bread is a killer!), you don't even miss it. I see it on menus and don't even think twice about it. Your body gets used to NOT eating garbage and eventually you don't even crave it anymore. It took me about 4 months to get to that point (back in 2007!) and I lost so much weight...and then we went to WDW and that was the end of that!
And you say you don't have good luck with Vinyls! We got Tigger, Donald, and the Mystery one from the Animation set today...and ANOTHER Dopey...I now have THREE of him that need to find a new home...
Funny that today was my "cheat day" too! I'll blame it on the new moon!
Don't get discouraged! 1.3lbs is STILL a loss! I think you did a GREAT job!
It's true...when you focus on other things, you really DON'T miss the junk at all!
Haha, I'm going to really try to over my fear this trip and talk to a princess! How bad can it be? I'm just going to have to think of some things to say first!
We went to West Farms yesterday and we ate at the RFC! I didn't get any Vinyls, I figured if they didn't have any Alice ones, I didn't want to bother. I almost bought an Ariel shirt, but again, I figured, I'm going to Disney in 6 weeks, I'll buy Disney stuff when I'm there! I did buy a new Vera Bradley for my trip, though!
I did rejoin WW yesterday, I had to since it was the last day to join for free! I'm going to really commit this time to see if I can lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks. That really doesn't seem so terrible. I'm gonna exercise every day (I might need a day off on the weekend, though!) and allow myself one cheat day a week (when I was doing it before I allowed myself to have the whole weekend to cheat, which wasn't exactly the best plan!
) and see what happens! I'm actually excited and not dreading it like I always am!
I wish I could cut carbs, but it's SO hard for me, because I don't eat vegetables or anything healthy! I mean, I eat some, but not enough to substitute carbs. I might just have to try to cut down, I do eat an awful lot of them.
Oh, I'll take one of your 3 Dopey's if one needs a home...I love Dopey!
OK, that video of the Queen of Hearts dancing was very weird.
I love how they played the Glee version of Thriller/Heads Will Roll.
Dang, you have good luck with vinylmations! I have the Buzz one but I had to buy it off of ebay.
Isn't it strange? Is that where that song is from? I remember someone mentioned it a few months ago, but I forgot, I don't watch Glee!
Haha, I don't think I have good luck with Vinyls, I bought so many Toy Story vinyls and traded them all away! I'm going to take a picture of all the Vinyls I have now at the end of this TR and put it up, you'll be surprised at how many I kept!
