Hey girl!! I am still here!! Your plans all look so great!! I wish I was going with you so I could go on the rides you don't want to go by yourself on! I love all those rides!! Hope you're having a good week! We're one day closer to our next Disney trip!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Hey hun!! Wow when you said you had just started your ptr I had no idea that you would be up to page 6 already! Your plans sound great! You're going to have such a fun trip with your mom! I've never stayed at csr but I'm sure you'll love it! Oh and I know you mentioned that your dinner at lecellier was a bit later than you wanted, keep checking online for the reservations, I pretty much checked everyday last year and eventually got one for like 6 or 630, so don't give up yet! Unless it doesn't really matter . Your adrs all look delicious! Can't wait to hear more!

So tonight for dinner i made Mrs T's mini potato and cheese piergios the were so good!! and for you WW girls its 7 minis for 3 points! not to bad!!

I also want to recommend fiber one bars-- they are so good and very filling and only 2 points!!

and for a nice summer dessert here is a quick and easy recipe:
2 low fat graham crackers
8 tablespoons of low- fat cool whip
Spread cool whip onto graham cracker ( slighthy thawed) and put other graham cracker on top put in a plastic baggie or plastic wrap-- place in the freezer and you have a delicious large ice cream sandwich!! I usually keep it it the freezer for a few hours. This is only 3 points!! and you can also use chocolate cool whip also its a very good treat

We eat those pierogies often in our house- love them!
My favorite fiber one bars are the chocolate chip ones, I usually have one of those a day especially if I'm at work and need something to hold me over after lunch- my lunch is at 10:04 AM and I don't leave work until around 3. One bar and a big glass of water will keep me full for a few hours.
That summer dessert recipe sounds so good, I'm going to have to look in my grocery store to see if they have chocolate low-fat cool whip - YUM!

As for the rides/attractions I will not go on:
MK- Astro Orbiter
AK-Kali River Rapids (I went on last year and got a rash on my thighs from walking around in soaking wet shorts all day!)
DHS- great movie ride
EPCOT- Mission Space Orange Team

hello everyone I hope everyone is having a good week so far! I have been busy busy!! I am trying to clean the clutter from my house and purge old clothes that don't fit anymore-- and have been working out like a crazy women, and hitting the tanning bed to get some color. Last night i went walking 4 miles with my friend at the track we did a walk/jog. Then today on my treadmill i upped my workout-- i am not doing 5.0 with a incline for a half a hour -- WOW did i break a sweat!! When i did my programmed workouts i wasn't breaking too much of a sweat anymore i think i was getting too used to the workout!!

Tonight for dinner Josh and I had a quick dinner at got subway-- one of my favorite " fastfood" places to eat-- we have no grocercies this week LOL its like mothers hubbards cubbard!!! This is what i got at subway

This is the veggie delite sub-- i got this on wheat bread-- with every veggie they have-- with a little hunny mustard-- this is 4 WW points. If i liked meat more i would have gotten a turkey sub-- but for some reason i cannot stand lunch meat

I also had a bag of 100 calorie pack cheetos with my sub

and a few chocolate twizzlers for dessert

I love chocolate twizzlers!! a low- fat food that will give you a chocolate fix!!

Oh and subway now serves breakfast i saw that today!! It looks really good i might try it this weekend and i will let everyone know how it is!

okay now for day 6 plans:

Today is one of those days that i think we are just going to spend the day at the resort!! It will be a nice mid week break-- and there are so many things at CSR that we want to do-- i think we will start out with swimming, maybe a surrvey bike, pedal boats at the marina-- and maybe even a spa treatment-- we will eat lunch this day at the pepper market-- and we have dinner at the Maya Grill right on resort so we can stay on resort the whole day if we want too. Also i think this night we are going to put on our party outfits and go clubbing at Rix loungue!! My mom and I keep joking that maybe we will find a successful business man on resort for the convention what happens in disney stays in dsney!!! If not rix's this right we will head to downtown disney for some shopping and maybe some back for a few drinks-- or head to MK for fireworks then downtown disney this day is kinda a go with the flow relaxing day-- which i am actually looking forward too!! I am also excited about doing things on resort!

Now for our shuttle service-- My mom and I are going to book through www.supershuttle.com its a shuttle service that comes and picks you up from your house and takes you to the airport-- and will pick you up when your return flights lands and drop you back off at your house. There are maybe states and cities that they service. The airport is about 45 mins from my house-- so it will be easier not to have to depend on getting a ride-- and having room in the van for the luggage-- it will be about $ 40.00 a person total round trip!! not so bad!! We wll sit back relax and let them do the driving

Well i am off to check out other PTR's that i have been following

everyone has a nice night!!

up next-- Day 7-- and why this trip is much needed after a tough year-- and more healthy tips

wow !! you have to take a early lunch at work- i would be starving !! I work 7am- 3:30 everyday and take a lunch at 12:30-- I normally have a fiber one bar in the morning with a glass of water too they really do keep you filled up for awhile! I love the chocolate ones too! Oh i totally get you with the rash on your thighs from Kali rivers!! My legs were chapped raw too from that ride!! LOL we should rename it to the " chapper river rapids" walking around in wet shorts is the WORST feeling ever!! oh yeah and try the low fat chool whip for sure its so good!

 

[BabyEeyore]

My DH LOVES Subway's breakfast. I think it's okay, but I think if I liked the taste of eggs more that I would really like it, too. I would definitely say go for it and try it out!

[deslynnpatterson]

sorry everyone-- I apologize for being MIA lately-- kind of had a busy weekend and a stressful start to the week. It all started last friday-- i woke up with a eye i nfection of some kind I went to the doctors friday evening and i had a very bad eye infection in both eyes-- so i have drops that i am using-- and it still isnt gone!!! The infection was bothering me so bad that i just went to bed on friday night and skipped my first night of working out since feb i felt so guilty!!! I felt more guilty because my best friend's dad took us out for drinks and appeptizers for happy hour at TGI Fridays-- and i ate bad

Then this past weekend I went out with my mom we did some shopping-- had a coffee-- looked at disney books at barnes and nobles-- and wow some of them are expensive!! Thank god for the disboards that pretty much tells us the same things

Sunday i got a haircut-- grocery shopping, and was exhausted by this point

Now for some disney updates:

~ As of today the rumor is that free dinning will be announced either April 29th for visa holders-- and may 3rd for the public--

lets hope that this is a true rumor!!!!

My getting in shape plan for disney is also going well every few treadmills works i have to up my speed and distance and i feel so good when accomplishing a new workout goal!

Now on to my day 7 plans :
This day we have a early lunch at Hollywood Studios-- we are eating at 12:10 at Sci- Fi for the very first time!! This is my frist time going there so tell me whats good to eat here?? I am excited to try this place for the first time!!!

After lunch the rest of our day is pretty much free-- i think we might stay at hollywood studios for awhile-- then maybe park hop, or go back to the resort, or get ready for downtown disney I like at least one day with not so many plans-- and we are getting our lunch done early so we will have the rest of the day!! For dinner we are thinking maybe Pepper Market-- earls-- or using that 15.00 dollar voucher for planet hollywood and getting a appie! I also really want to try the characters in flight balloon in disney since we misssed it last year so this night might be a good night for that

i am just getting very anxious for this trip!!! my mom and I am trying to figure out what extras we want to do our options are
~ Character in flight
~ behind the seeds tour
~ segway tour
~ MNSSHP
~ Night of Joy
~ La Nomba

what do you guys think? what would you suggest or what have you done that you would not do again? And also if anyone has anything else to suggest please let me know!!

now for healthy meal idea:

I made fried potatoes the other night-- and i cooked them in spray butter which is no calories--- added onion and garlic salt-- each average size potato was about 2 points-- It was a really delicious sub to the real deal!

~ Tonight for dinner i am making haluski with spray butter-- onions, cabbage, egg noddles, garlic salt-- would be about 4 points for 1 cup

~ and another idea is fresh zucchini with feta cheese - you can cook the zucchini in spray butter or olive oil-- add onions if you want-- and sautee everything till browned -- and add 1/2 cup of feta this is so good!

I love that summer foods will be coming in season soon and i have a lot of good summer recipes!
Well thats all for now i have to do workout

up next--- next day plans--- and what i might get to eat at each restaurant

 

[tink774]

We went to our first MNSSHP in October, and I highly recommend it!! It was such a fun party, and I can't wait to do it again in the fall!

What nights is the party available during your trip? Characters in Flight would also be a lot of fun!

La Nouba is an awesome show! My mom and I saw it several years ago, and I remember that we really enjoyed it.

 

[princessallegra]

Hey gorgeous mama!!!! Just wanted to say hi!!! Sorry to hear about the eye infection, but glad everything else seems to be going well! Fingers crossed for free dining for you!!!!! We've never eaten at Sci Fi but I've heard the chili and the burgers are great! We've also never been to MNSSHP, but we have been to MVMCP and if the halloween party is anything like the Christmas party, I would say it's definitely worth it! We had SUCH a good time at MVMCP that we bought tickets while we were there for our last night of the trip! I've also heard that the segway tour is fantastic though.

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Oh sorry about your eye infection. I hope it's a bit better now. As for your plans, they sound great! I've eaten at sci fi but for the life of me I can't remember what I had! I just remember the atmosphere is so fun! My family and I did the segway tour at epcot one year and had so much fun! I would definitely do it again! I vote for that and la nouba as well. It's such an amazing show, really there are no words to describe it completely. Never done MNSSHP but it seems like so much fun! Sorry didn't really narrow down your list too much!

[deslynnpatterson]

hey everyone I hope everyone is still here and still wants to follow my PTR and everyone is welcomed to join who didn't join yet

Life hass been a little hetic lately-- work has been soo busy-- that all i have had time for when i come home is my treadmill, cleaning, dinner and bed! I have also been having a really hard time with my anxiety lately I have developed anxiety so bad that i worry so much about things that a normal person would not worry about--- and it keeps me from doing normal things in life i finally broke down this week and called a therapist.... i feel embrassing admitting that but i just need to do something-- i cannot live my life in fear-- and with anxiety! It has been so bad lately it feels like someone has been sitting on my chest all day long! But i am going to get meds to help and learn how to deal with this


Now for my Day 8 plans

~ I think we are going to wake up early this morning-- have breakfast at the pepper market-- and then take a swim in the dig site pool

~ After swimming for awhile we will get ready to go to epcot! We are going to finish up the countries this day-- and maybe do a pick a pearl-- i love doing the pick a pearl-- i could do this a few times each trip! I love jewelry and also have to get my pearl made into something!

~ After being at epcot for awhile we are going to hop over to Hollywood Studios-- we have a 6:15 ressie at Mama Melrose... before dinner we will finish up anything at the park we missed or wanted to do again-- now for after dinner we are decided if we want to try to get into the idol finale-- or go see fantasmic-- fantasmic is no my favorite of the shows-- its just so crowded there! and i feel its crazy getting into and out of! or we might skip both and head to downtown disney instead!! This will be our last night at Hollywood studios since this is getting close to the end of our trip


Now for a healthy meal idea-- i have recently become a oatmeal eater LOL I never liked oatmeal before but its smells good-- and is so good for you-- and is filling-- so i have been trying oatmeal different ways-- i like the instant fit and active kind from aldi-- with fresh blueberries-- and the maple and brown sugar is good too!! I am still trying to get used to eating it-- kinda taste like mush to me still so if you have any suggestions on how you eat your oatmeal please share

Well i am going to go and make some oatmeal-- catch up on some PTRS--- workout-- then i will post about what i plan to eat at each place i do and everyone can give me suggestions!!! I missed everyone!! But i am back

We all know how busy real life gets sometime and gets in the way of our DIS time. I've been swamped at work the last two weeks myself. And during that time we decided since we didn't have to pay taxes this year that we could afford Disney for four nights before we go to Marco Island. But it looks as if we will miss you guys....we arrive late the night of the 17th.
