Challenge #2 is to do something that makes you laugh.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh and what was so funny?

Bonus- what will you do this week to make yourself laugh



The last good laugh i had was when i tried to sit down on the bench at the shoe store and missed the bench and fell flat on my butt. I hurt my tailbone so at first it wasnt funny but when i called my mom to tell her about it we were laughing so hard i couldnt breathe.

I think sunday before the superbowl i will have my boys try to act out there own commercal. Anytime they perform skits or shows for us it is so funny we end up in tears from laughing. They are like having our own comedy show.

Thursday 2/2 QOTD- Superbowl weekend coming up!!! GO Pats!! Go Giants!! Any big plans? Food is a big part of game day. If you are watching the game do you have any special foods you'll be making and have you chosen to make any healthier things than you would have in the past? Feel free to share some recipes!

We do not care about football . The only time we hear about football is when some player is arrested for something.

i lost this week. I woke up feeling sick today so I plan to do nothing except rest this weekend.
I hope everyone is doing good.
The boards are so slow. I hope they are going to get faster.

My kids make me laugh all the time. They do/say the wackiest things. We have aa wee family movie night on saturdays so I think I will make sure it has the comedy factor tonight to ensure giggles all round

My DS wrestling team won their division. When the team returned to the high school - all the kids ran around the track in their singlets. It was about 25 degrees. It will be awesome if he was able to go to the state finals his very first year of wrestling. Time will tell.

Good luck everyone with your weight ins.

Janis

That's great! I hope DS makes it to states!

We adopted a new puppy this week from an animal rescue organization. A shar pei and golden retriever mix. Very cute and only 10 weeks old. Haven't gotten a name we like yet (she came with the name Molly actually, but we don't want to keep it as that is the name of the dog we recently lost).

Yay for the new puppy! Our last dog was a rescued Shar Pei. She was the sweetest dog. Enjoy!

The DIS is so slow, I'm starting to avoid checking in out of pure frustration.

All is well here, considering. Colby was home sick 4 days this week and Nick was home today too. Starts with a sore throat, then cold and cough then the vomiting kicks in. I'm really hoping that I don't end up with it. DH has been fabulous and we've taken the every other day approach to staying home.

Hopefully they'll all be better by the end of the weekend.

Oh no! I hope the kids start feeling better soon!

Ha! I know we may be sorry later but the kitties home base is our bathroom right now. We have their food, water, litter box and bed in there so they sleep in there too. Since we are in a rental house right now, I don't want them to cause any damage to the rest of the house. The first 2 weeks we kept them in there exclusively but we have gradually given them the rest of the house to roam in when we are home to supervise. The bathroom is large and has windows so it's not as bad as it sounds but I'm afraid we may need to transition them to another room later and they might have a hard time with it. Oh well it is working pretty well for us except when they cry at night to get in bed with us Have fun planning your WDW trip!

Had an OK day today. Food wise, pretty good but did not get in a workout today. One of those days when you don't sit down until 9:30pm. Will have to do better this weekend. We have been talking about going back to Germany for a visit and thought we might go this Summer but started thinking about going for Spring Break instead and tonight we booked our tickets!!! We were able to use FF miles for all 3 of us but will still pay about $200 each for fees and such. Not bad for a RT ticket to Europe! Now I have got to get this weight before the trip. Renewed motivation!

Have a great weekend Donalds!

I woke up at 4:33 this morning for some reason and at exactly 4:45 my stinking cat walked up the stairs crying I immediately thought of your kitties! I swear it's some internal cat alarm. We don't allow our dog or cat in our bedroom, but they go in my boys' rooms. Best decision we ever made!

Yay on the trip to Germany! That is so exciting and really just around the corner. One day I'll make it...

Challenge #2 is to do something that makes you laugh.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh and what was so funny?

Bonus- what will you do this week to make yourself laugh

The last good laugh I had was yesterday with my mom and boys. DS5 was trying so hard to convince me as to why he really needed a new Lego set at Target. It was hilarious! My DSs crack me up daily.

To make myself laugh, I will probably watch some comedies on tv. I love Big Bang Theory and Up All Night. Oh, and I'm sure DS8 will do his Bigfoot impression and DS5 will say something crazy.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ugh! I woke up at 4:33 this morning and can't get back to sleep. I have to try though or this will be one heck of a long day!

I booked a WDW getaway! I am so excited because it is the last weekend of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. I am super excited to go and also to hang out around the resort and get some sun (once again, something we do not see very often in western PA). Now I am just hoping DH gets that weekend off work.

Not a lot planned today. I am going to my nephew's school for a Soup Fest, then I need to get a few grocery items for the week that I didn't pick up yesterday. After that, I'll be home to clean and do more laundry. I swear it multiplies in the basement! I'll be back later to check in.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Good Saturday morning everyone.

I just finished reading the thread since I posted yesterday.

Some good news with Rememberthemagic. Congrats on getting the job. That is so exciting. A 40 minute commute is not great but not as bad as it could be here in jersey but being able to run your own office is wonderful.

Deb so sorry that you didn't get the job. I hope something better comes along.

Congrats to all who have had great weighins so far.

Sorry for those people who are sick or have little ones who are sick. I hope everyone gets healthy this weekend.

Thanks Kathy for coaching last week.

QOTD I am almost afraid to answer this. I am so different than the other answers. I am not a big rock fan. And yes I live in jersey but have never been to a Springsteen concert.

I love to see Michael Feinstein in concert. I have seen him a number of times. He is very funny, does great impressions and tells great stories about the history of the songs he sings.

I have seen Barry Manilow several times. He puts on a great show.

One of our favorite concerts were Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. They told some great stories about old hollywood.

I rode my exercise bike. I am going to get more of workout moving more costumes. We sorted last night and made notes about what we still need. Lots to do with alterations and decorating.

I am going to a superbowl party and I am regretting going. I know that there will be a lot of food. I have to find something to bring with me to do. If I bring some knitting to do I don't nibble as much. But it has to be mindless knitting because of all that will be going on in the room. Not just the game but all the discussions that occur. I will have to find something.

Have a happy and healthy day.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh and what was so funny?

Bonus- what will you do this week to make yourself laugh.

We had a good laugh this morning, I came in the living room and the dog was thrilled to see me so I gave "my little girl" a good belly rub, and then went to ds on the chair and gave "my little boy" a good belly rub, and the dog jumped up in between me and ds and wanted a part of the action. She is so cute, and so much fun.
I have to say, I am really lucky to work in a place with lots of funny people, and many times we have talked about how lucky we are to be able to have fun and laugh multiple times through the day. So for the week ahead, I'll continue to have fun at work and with the "kids", and also I'm guessing the superbowl commercials will make us laugh too.

I didn't answer the superbowl question yet, but ds and I are watching at home, and we are making brownie sundaes. We have a mason jar with brownie fixins we got from my niece for Xmas so we'll bake them, and I bought ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream. That will be my big treat. I will cook an early dinner, probably steak/chicken with roasted vegies and also I have fruit so will make either fruit salad or a fruit platter to have during the game too. I think I'll plan on the sundae for half time. Poko will have a Pigs ear alternative. Its a treat that looks like the pigs ear, but it's not. She got them for christmas and she loves them.

Big hugs to all who are feeling under the weather and the kiddos too. Here in new england it's been such a mild winter, but lots of bug around. Wonder if the lack of snow has anything to do with that.

Karen_COngratulations on the new job!!!! And the weight loss!!! And the extra money to plan more disney trips!!! So happy and excited for you!!!

Pamela-No apologies necessary or allowed. We love to see you when you can, and I hope the kids to well this weekend. Hope your niece is ok.

Amykathleen-Congratulations on the new puppy!!

Dona_I love me some Barry Manilow. I'd be singing right along with you at that concert. "and I need you today, ooooh mandy"

Janis-Congrats to ds on his wrestling team. They must have been freezing running around that field, but how exciting for them.

Shawn-How exciting you are going back to Germany, and what an amazing price too. That will be so much fun for you. Is Ds excited? We are going to niagara falls for a few days spring break, and it is great motivation to lose the weight. Want to look good in pictures. We can do this!! One day at a time!!

Lindsay-So happy the body won out over the brain. Just reading you post I was thinking it's friday night, I would just relax and work harder today, but you did it!! Nice job!!

Hello to everyone else!!

Have a super saturday!!!

Horray for booking the trip. I got to see alot of the topiaries last r during princess wkend and they are awesome.
have a great time at the soup fest.

I bet you will do great at the party. Just make some kind of a plan before you go and you should be fine. Taking something to keep your hands busy is a great idea too.

Hello to everyone else!!

Your superbowl treat is making my mouth salivate. sounds yummy. I hope you have a great weekend.

I tried to sleep in today but my 4 year old had a different agenda. I was going to do the aerobics class at the gym today butit would be cutting things to close to getting ryan to his bball game. So since i got a good run in last night i am skipping today.

I needd to go make breakfast and get the day moving. Talk to you all later.

 

[4HOLIDAYS]

QOTD Sat 2/4- Laugh- Threre is def alot of laughter in our house. Just in looking at ourselves. I can always count on a good laugh in talking with my father. He is sooo funny, not jokes, just very funny in how he looks at things and tells stories. Even before he move to Fla ,near us, I talked with him a couple times a day and would always be laughing. My mom says that's why she married him!

 

[cjdj4]

Hi everyone! I have not been on in days and I am at least behind by 8 pages I am not sure I can catch up. I may just jump in where we are. I didn't lose any weight this week, but I didn't gain either so it's a win for me I really partied pretty hard at the parade last weekend eating and drinking like crazy so I am not really surprised by the results. I am just going to keep working, and eventually the scale will go down again. I still need to take my measurements. Is it too late to send them?

I hope everyone had a great week, and you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

[donaldandpirates]

I am so sorry team! I had a gain this week!

I have another busy weekend this weekend and will be out of town so that means having to eat out and since we'll be so busy with the cheer competition that will probably mean fast food so I am checking websites to have better options all ready!

I finally get a weekend off from school training and I still have to be on the go! Probably won't be checking in all weekend but I will be back on Monday! Have a great weekend everyone~

No worries. Hopefully, you can find some healthy choices that will work.

We do not care about football . The only time we hear about football is when some player is arrested for something.

i lost this week. I woke up feeling sick today so I plan to do nothing except rest this weekend.
I hope everyone is doing good.
The boards are so slow. I hope they are going to get faster.

LOL!! That's when we usually hear about football too. I hope you are able to really rest this weekend.

I booked a WDW getaway! I am so excited because it is the last weekend of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. I am super excited to go and also to hang out around the resort and get some sun (once again, something we do not see very often in western PA). Now I am just hoping DH gets that weekend off work.

Jill

Yeah!!!! You booked a trip! I can't wait to book our next trip.

Good Saturday morning everyone.

I am going to a superbowl party and I am regretting going. I know that there will be a lot of food. I have to find something to bring with me to do. If I bring some knitting to do I don't nibble as much. But it has to be mindless knitting because of all that will be going on in the room. Not just the game but all the discussions that occur. I will have to find something.

Have a happy and healthy day.

Maybe you can eat healthy before you go or fill up on water so you don't eat so many unhealthy stuff at the party. Regardless, I hope you had a good time!

Challenge #2 is to do something that makes you laugh.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh and what was so funny?

DH and I were looking at my brother-in-law's and his wife's baby registery a few weeks ago. This is their first baby. One of the things they registered for was a Bucket O' Ducks. You know the rubber ducks for bathtime, that sort of thing. There's like 18 rubber ducks in this thing. Why would any baby need 18 rubber ducks? Anyway, we were reading the reviews of the Bucket O' Ducks. People were upset because the ducks in the Bucket O' Ducks actually came in the box, not a bucket. They also float upside down. For some reason, we laughed so hard over this.

We don't laugh very often, but it's the little things that get us started.

Challenge #2 is to do something that makes you laugh.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh and what was so funny?

We had two in my calc class this week. We do a formula called Taylor Series. Someone found it on his calculator and we got to talking about it. Then someone pulled up their caculator and instead of the equation they put in Taylor (Ham). Now someone west of the coast may not know the joke but that is something that is a true jersey thing. Taylor ham is a pork product that people here in jersey love. I don't think I can think of a Taylor series without laughing.

Friday the same class had a number of people who were absent so we had some empty seats. There was one in front of my desk. WHen I looked up there was a unicorn pillow pal sitting right in front of my desk. Someone had put a paper on the desk, a pencil on his paw and then we added a pair of glasses. It was so cute we took pictures of it.

Have a happy and healthy evening

 

[D73]

What a day what a day..........too much to even really go into. Let's just say what started off as seemingly well turned fairly sour this evening.

BUT......I am still on plan. So the victory goes to me.

Sorry have not had a chance to get on much today. But I have more free time tomorrow and will be back. Still thinking of what to do to get a good laugh cuz I could really use it. Ahhhhhh!!! Brain spasm..... I am going to put on a few episodes of the old British sit-com Are You Being Served? THat always makes me laugh!!! Has everyone seen this show at some point in your life?


Good bye Saturday!!! Bring on the new day!!

[trinaweena]

1 I have not weighed in this week! I keep forgetting! I will hopefully remember tomorrow, but i may not be able to do it before work if my dad is sleeping (the scale is in my parents room)

I started a new medication, and the nausea seems slightly better. I'm not getting my hopes up at all because it's still there, but i've been able to eat a little bit. I have been getting really bad stomach aches..the other way though. I think i've made the decision that i am lactose intolerant, although some things dont seem to bother me (greek yogurt, butter), a lot of things do and its better to be safe than sorry. I'm hoping that will help with some of the stomach aches. It's all just a waiting game at this point. And i know someone asked, about anxiety, and yes i am diagnosed with anxiety but have no treatment of it what so ever. It's another avenue i'm considering exploring.

So, feeling a teeny tiny bit better but not even close to where i would say i feel good. Last night i had a horrible stomach ache, so bad i told my boyfriend to go home which is the second time i've had to do that in a week so that upset me. I think it was from the cupcakes i ate, they had cream cheese frosting. The reason I had cupcakes? I got my actual degree in the mail the other day and my mom got me cupcakes, a balloon, and flowers as a gift. It's a two year degree that took me seven years to get, and i still have a lot of schooling to go but it's still nice.

Let's see, what else is going on? I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, just cranky in general for no reason, which seems to be happening a lot lately, probably from feeling crummy. I ran some errands, went to my gym to talk to them about paying less for my membership (i pay $40 a month right now, found out i could be paying $20), and renewed my library card. One of my classes this semester is a research class and we have to write a research paper and my topic description is due monday. The course is on western europe during 1941-1945 so we have a very specific frame of reference for what we can write about. I had chosen to write about Denmark Resistance and Danish jews and what made that situation different than others, but saw a book a the library that piqued my interest, and now want to write about german civilians and their involvement in the holocaust, whether they were pro nazi or not, and what caused some germans to resist and some to collaborate, and the idea of german national guilt directly after the war and today. The problem? I'm not sure if we can write about Germany! I emailed my teacher and am waiting for a response but might end up writing 2 topic descriptions just in case. I'm just finding the germany idea way more interesting at this point.

Eating has been so so, as you know. Today I had McDonalds, because i was out and needed to get something in me because i was getting hangry (hungry/angry). I asked for a mcdouble with no cheese and no pickles, stating i had an allergy to cheese. I got a mcdouble with extra cheese and pickles. I'm not sure what i expected, but when i went inside to fix it they were very nice and apologetic so no harm done!

I'm a bit annoyed at myself because I don't really feel like doing any homework, and i really need to. I've done a little bit but I'm lacking motivation.

Oh, some good news, we are going to Vegas next year! This has been in talks for some time, but I guess it's kind of confirmed now? Hasn't been booked but i'm sure it will be soon. It's always been the plan to go when my brother turns 21. Now, I'm not a huge Vegas person, I've never been and never been like OMG lets go to vegas. I enjoy Atlantic city but i live near casinos so its not like a huge deal to me. I've been going to casinos since i can remember, and the older i get, the poorer i am so gambling seems frivolous. But my boyfriend is coming, so i think we will have fun. I told him i would really like to see the grand canyon because a couple on parks and rec did and it was very romantic and i want to do that. My mother wants to see the Hoover dam, which i have no interest in. Has anyone ever been to vegas? any tips or sites to check out? I have a year to plan.

Superbowl tomorrow, and i don't really care. I'm not a football person. I will go to my boyfriends and i'm sure the game will be on but i've already told him i have to do homework. I'm hoping i don't get sick, because that would be awkward and i hate having to go home cause im sick. He said his dad ordered wings so maybe i will be able to eat those? I hope so cause i love wings!

QOTD - I laugh all the time! I laugh at stuff on the Internet, i laugh at other people (their jokes and stupidity), tv shows, movies! I generally laugh at a lot of things. I love my history professor because he makes absurd intellectual history jokes that make me laugh really hard!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, sorry for the long long post!

 

[SettinSail]

ooooooooooooh, my new-found motivation is GONE today! It's a very dreary day here, overcast skies with light drizzle. Add in a couple of napping kitties and you have a recipe for laziness

QOTD: DS & I are usually laughing at something DH says. DH can not hear well and can not keep up with a conversation very well so he says some of the wierdest things when we are talking. DS and I just look at each other and burst out laughing. I'm always telling DS that I am glad he is older now so it's not just me hearing DH say these odd things. We're always saying we need to write a book of some of DH's comments Lately, we've also gotten some good laughs at the kitties playing with their toys

Got up early today to take DS to soccer practice and got some good deals at Bed Bath & Beyond while he was practicing. Did some walking for the last 10 mins of practice. I thought I was on the way to a healthy productive day but got home about 11 and have just vegged and napped the rest of the day!

Going to see Hugo tomorrow. The cinema here is showing it in 3D, ugh.
Then I will need to catch up on everything I didn't do today-laundry, cleaning, etc

Jill, congrats on booking your trip

Enjoy the rest of your weekend Donalds!

QOTD Feb. 3:
I love all type of music and am listening to music constantly! One of my favorite concerts was a Ben Rector and Andrew Belle concert. They are from Nashville and not very well known but they are absolutely amazing. I also saw Maroon 5 and One Republic about 2 years ago and they were great as well! Saw Kings of Leon, they were good, but it was so crowded and lasted forever.

QOTD Feb. 4:
It seems like the older I get the more easily amused I am and the more I laugh which is great! The last time I laughed really hard was yesterday as I was walking to class with a friend and she said something funny!

----
Ack, I thought that this weekend I'd be able to respond to everything but seems as though I'm all over the place. Perhaps tomorrow! My family went to see Woman in Black today (it was very good!) and we stopped at Cheddars. I got a salad with fat free ranch and then I was able to get four sides so I picked steamed carrots, broccoli, a little bit of rice and coleslaw. I even gave my bread to my brother so that I wouldn't eat it! I was quite proud.

Well, lots to do tonight and I'm exhausted! Hope you all had a great day. Still need to do my run so I will check in tomorrow!

I have seen Barry Manilow several times. He puts on a great show.


I am going to a superbowl party and I am regretting going. I know that there will be a lot of food. I have to find something to bring with me to do. If I bring some knitting to do I don't nibble as much. But it has to be mindless knitting because of all that will be going on in the room. Not just the game but all the discussions that occur. I will have to find something.

Have a happy and healthy day.

I am totally jealous of that Barry Manilow concert. I'm probably the only 35 year old that is

I'm sure you'll do fine at the party~just bring something healthy so you know you have something to eat.

I started a new medication, and the nausea seems slightly better. I'm not getting my hopes up at all because it's still there, but i've been able to eat a little bit. I have been getting really bad stomach aches..the other way though. I think i've made the decision that i am lactose intolerant, although some things dont seem to bother me (greek yogurt, butter), a lot of things do and its better to be safe than sorry. I'm hoping that will help with some of the stomach aches. It's all just a waiting game at this point. And i know someone asked, about anxiety, and yes i am diagnosed with anxiety but have no treatment of it what so ever. It's another avenue i'm considering exploring.

Glad the medication is helping a bit. Maybe it will keep improving

ooooooooooooh, my new-found motivation is GONE today! It's a very dreary day here, overcast skies with light drizzle. Add in a couple of napping kitties and you have a recipe for laziness

Jill, congrats on booking your trip

Thanks
I had a lazy day, too. I woke up too early and I just don't feel real well. So lazy it was~I think my body needed a break. Ah yes, the life of a cat

Now that I can read my PMs...

Yep, lazy day here. I am just not feeling well (runny nose, achy). I hope it's just since I woke up way too early. So, it's early to bed for me tonight. The soup fest I went to was awesome. Tons of great soups and I only tried a few. I did eat a creamy one because it just looked too good & it was ~ cream of mushroom. I also tried Taco soup and French onion. Someone also made Fruit soup which I never heard of. DS5 tried it~it was mixed fruit (frozen bagged and thawed) mixed with rainbow sherbet (and I'm not sure if anything else). It was really good and different. I've done two loads of laundry, but didn't iron or clean my dining room floors as planned. I guess I have tomorrow. Guess that's it for me.

The thread has been moving a little slower. I hope all Team Donald members are still out there and following along. Feel free to post, too! We need to beat Team Mickey here pretty soon. I think this will be our week!

I apologize for the delay in posting the HH results. I was having a hard time with my PMs and finally had a good day with my inbox.

There isn't much new for me to report. After today, I have to remember that tomorrow is a new day. I am having a lot of mom drama and some other stuff going on and have been doing a lot of emotional eating. I can't remember how much junk I've eaten today. I went to the gym and exercised for 10 minutes. I know it is something, but it won't make any difference in the astronomical number of calories I ate today. The worst part is that I still feel like I could eat a bunch more tonight. I have to think positive.

Karen: Congrats on your new job!

Ruthie: for the PA signing! I know you'll be down more in 3 months. We are all rooting for you!

Deb: Sorry to hear about the job.

Trina: Have you given any more thought to going GF? I know you've mentioned it a few times. If you are interested, there is a health food store near where you live. I could meet you there. There are some products that I love and some others that I've heard people rave about and others that I skip.

Speaking of food intolerances/allergies, I always seem to need to use the bathroom after eating peanut butter. It is not an anaphylatic reaction; it is definitely a gastro reaction. I know, TMI, but does anyone have any thoughts? Am I missing something? Is peanut butter not GF? TIA!

Have a great, OP day tomorrow everyone! Will try to catch up with the Donalds more frequently.
