Something About Nothing..........# 10

[SharkyGoddess]

i need a translator............


i think you are saying you are slim now.
congrats.




i do not fall into that category.

I was blabbering on

I'm not slim.... YET! But I am thinner than I was. I'm chubby and for a short person I don't need to be, plus it's not helping my back *sigh* Honestly, I think my goal I've set for myself is very reasonable and while it's not as skinny as I once was, it's a much healthier size for me and I will be perfectly satisfied with that.

i call that skinny compared to me..............

I'm on a seefood diet. I see food and eat it. Lol

 

[MinnieFanatic]

I just want to say hi and thank you to Macraven, MetroWest, and Damo and others. I read all the stickies and comments here and we went to Uni over spring break, stayed at RPR, and all of the advice here was soooo helpful!

 

[tink1957]

yes, where is vicki???


all i can say is that Vicki is thin.
i spent some time with her at IOA in october.

she is a super nice person!

Hi Carole & Raven

I'm here....just mostly lurking as I can only post from my phone since my router stopped working and it takes me forever to type anything on this thing as it decides to randomly add letters and smilies that I didn't type.

Other than that everything is going great

Yoo Hoo.........we have another homie to welcome here...



to MinnieFanatic..........
our newest friend !!


i have stayed at all 3 hotels but RPH has my heart.
i call it my home away from home.


anytime you need help or have a question, come on over here and we will try to help you out.
sometimes when a person makes a new thread about a need they have, it doesn't get a lot of hits on it.

we are a chatty bunch here and sure someone will try to help you.


Minnie Mee, what did you think about the parks during spring break?
i tried it once and the crowds just about swallowed me up..........

ride/shows were not a problem but trying to get to the restrooms was really time consuming.

hey vicki, do you have any plans yet for a return this fall?

save the diet for when you return from your next darkside trip.

if you go on a diet now, you'll end up having to diet again when your next trip is over.

why go through that agony twice??

well, that's what i plan to do.

Good advice however some of us need to lose a few pounds before we head down

Mine isn't so much a diet-diet, but a lifestyle change and a much needed one. I have started the Paleo diet and coupled it with WW points system to help keep my portions in check. I sincerely had so much weight to lose that it was a change I needed to get serious about and jump in to. I'm also doing some beginner's yoga to help with my back problems and migraines. Thankfully my diet is something that's easily done where ever I go

Same here ... both hubby and I have committed to eating healthier. Hubby needs to lose a fair bit more than I do, but as you said, it's a lifestyle change. I've heard good things about the Paleo diet - just too much work for me. We're both doing the Shakeology thing through Beachbody and we're both trying the Insanity Workout (yes it really is as insane as they say!!)

The biggest thing for me is remembering to buy my kids bread Thankfully they love the cloud bread recipe and it's quick to make.

That would be awesome

I'm considering a solo trip at the end of Sept so I can meet up with both you and Carole if my finances will allow it...I know we would have a blast.

and Carole....don't feel bad, I gained back almost 20 lbs too...had to go back on my diet this week.

I could drop about 10 pounds but really don't need too. At 6'4" and 210 its pretty good. I was as low as 182 and felt sick. I think right around 200 would be great again. I gain my weight over the winter since its colder ( yes I said colder in south Florida) and don't sweat too much. Now summer has started here I tend not to each as much and drink lots of water.

Like others have said, I don't believe in diets. You have to do a lifestyle change or eat less of what you want. Works every time.

 

[Lynne G]

Lifestyle change is at our house too. All of us need to watch weight.

Today, Rainy Monday, Rainy Monday. Windy too. So much for the absolutely beautiful week-end we just had. Lots of gardening got done. DD even pulled out her sandals and now wanting her summer clothes. Um, now it's colder and wet.

I think the track meet this week will be cancelled, as they are calling for wet weather most of the week. So, a wet and windy start to May.

Hope all are doing well and had a great week-end.

gloomy weather here = perfect day to wash the bedding and try to reconstruct my itunes, all my songs and movies disappeared from both my account and ipod. Least i was able to find the movies but it's sure a long process filling it back up with songs.

What the heck is that white stuff?

 

[keishashadow]

oh sNOw it didn't!

weird day here. youngest sick for a week up at college, finally he went to college/ER dr yesterday who told him "nothing wrong with you other than a cold", despite him having a fever. He called this morning said he could hardly get out of bed. Went up and brought him home straight to local dr, sent him out for few tests, and told he has bacterial bronchitis.

nice miss dr bozo from Indiana, PA! 2nd strike, last year same dr didn't catch a broken arm. For this i'm paying medical fees included in tuition? On bedrest for a day or two and antibiotics & he'll be fine. Makes me doubly glad he's transferring next semester to PITT and bunking at home.
