QOTD 2/27: To do today to make Monday into a great day...hmmm...pack the kids' lunches and lay everyone's clothes out tonight before doing to bed (prevents morning chaos!), and wash and cut up all the fresh veggies that are in my fridge for easy snacking tomorrow and in the days to come.

Wow, I'm exhausted. I shovelled the drive on Friday which was an hour of exercise. Last night I waitressed for the first time in 4 months and we were super busy. Of course on waitress no showed. I ended up waiting on 49 people. I had expected 20-30 Good money and a good workout. Last night we got another 4 inches of snow, but still went to tap our maple orchard today. 3 hours of trudging through the woods with steep hills on snowshoes. What a miserable workout. I cannot tell you how many times I fell and getting up was not easy as there is at least 3 feet of powder in the woods. There is no place for your arm to go as you can't reach the ground. Getting up was probably a better workout than just trying to stand up and hiking up hill I probably won't be able to move tomorrow. So diet is going great and I've got exercise 3 days so far this week. now if I could just find a job.

QOTD: I am usually really good about getting the kids lunch money together for the week, getting clothes out for tomorrow, arranging all transportation sharing for the week and making crepes for breakfast for the week.

I have a lacrosse planning meeting at 7 PM tonight in a town that's about 1/2 hour away. That will put a cramp in my usual Sunday night plans.

Hi Team

Woke up to 4+ inches of snow so beautiful, Still I'm ready for Spring

I'm going to try this to help me stay OP during My "Danger Time" 4PM

Afternoon Team Mickey!

Today, I've been pretty much lounging and trying to somewhat get the house in order. I cleaned out the fridge, organized the pantry, made a grocery list, went shopping, unloaded and put everything away, and then sat down and ate lunch. I probably didn't make the best food decision but I was starving.

Yesterday, was a blast. We estimated that we walked about a mile and a half around the Stockyards. I had a great time getting to know all the widow and widowers that I've come to know and love these past 3 years.

I don't remember if I told everyone on here (to lazy to go back and look) that I'm training for the Buzz and Woody Best Friend 5K that is during the marathon weekend for next year. I've gotten my trainer on board with helping me to train. He told me I needed to start walking outside considering doing that vs being on treadmill are totally different. Well, I'm happy to report that I did exactly that today. The route that Alan gave me I believe was only half a mile (he said it was a mile). However, its no big deal I'll just walk it twice to get that mile completed.

Its a beautiful day here today with a slight breeze which kind of caught my breath a few times. My breathing was okay for the most part (blood clots in my lungs) and my leg cramped a little bit but not to horribly. I took my cell phone with me just in case I got to tired and couldn't make it home. Then all I'd have to do is call Alan and have him come get me.

Going to finish up a bit of cleaning around the house, eat some dinner, and get to bed early. We told Alan's son we'd be in San Antonio by noon to pick him up. Means we have to be up and out of here by 7am. ICK, I'm not a morning person .

QOTD Monday, 2/28: It is 5 AM and you are lying around trying to fall back to sleep. About what are you dreaming/WISHing?

A couple of things for me...no more snow for the season, a great day at work, an OP day, and a good workout. And above all, no more vertigo or nightmares.

Have a great day tomorrow!

Monday QOTD: I never have trouble sleeping at 5 AM. Midnight to 3 AM maybe, but never 5 AM. Anyhoo...I'm usually stressing about finding a job, what things I need to accomplish the next day, Planning the lacrosse season, you name it I can and will think about it.

I usually have a massive TO DO list going through my head. . I don't fall asleep until I get up and write everything down.

 

[cclovesdis]

Good morning all!

Slept until 8 and then looked out side to see 5.5 inches of snow! No wonder the plow kept coming by! Guess we'll be shoveling later!

Guess I should make breakfast for everyone!

Yesterday's snow. You got about 2x as much as we did! It was just enough to make a mess of things.

QOTD 2/27: To do today to make Monday into a great day...hmmm...pack the kids' lunches and lay everyone's clothes out tonight before doing to bed (prevents morning chaos!), and wash and cut up all the fresh veggies that are in my fridge for easy snacking tomorrow and in the days to come.

Great plan!

WTG with all that exercise! Great job getting back up againg!

I had a feeling that you are a planner too.

for your training! You will do it!

Job searching was tough. You have so many positive qualities!

I love a good to-do list! Sometimes I write down, "write next to-do list" as my last item on a to-do list.




Well, it's time to get ready for work. Have a great day everyone!

 

[tigger813]

I really need to stop staying up so late!!! I'm so exhausted this morning. The alarm went off at 5 and I reset it for 6. If I closed my eyes right now I would instantly be back asleep. I just fixed a cup of tea and am letting it cool! I have time this afternoon so I will work out then. Giving a co-worker a massage and then a client and then I get to come home. I may have to squeeze in a nap too!

Guess I should make Ash's lunch! Every few minutes we keep getting a down pour of SLEET!

 

[HappyMatt]

QOTD Sat. 2/26: If you were in a Disney park right now, what would you be doing?

It's almost 7:30 right now. so we would probably be getting the kids ready for the day. We would be eating breakfast, we are DVC members and having that kitchen in the morning is really nice. We may already be chasing the kids around trying to put sunblock on. We try to get to the parks before rope drop.

QOTD Sun. 2/27: I'm big into planning. What is one thing you can do today to make Monday a great day?

Um . . . I'm a little too late for this one, it being Monday already and all.

QOTD Monday, 2/28: It is 5 AM and you are lying around trying to fall back to sleep. About what are you dreaming/WISHing?

It's 5am and it's time to get up and get ready to go for the day. If I did have the luxury of sleeping in, I would be dreaming about our next trip to Disney World.

 

[tigger813]

Hi again,
At work waiting for my co-worker to come in so I can give her a massage! My fingers are frozen right now I will have to stand in front of the heater for a bit!

Sleet, freezing rain, rain! Driving ok but hopefully temperatures will continue to rise quickly.

QOTD: If I'm not out of bed at 5 ready to get on the elliptical I am thinking that I really should get up and get my day started! I got up this morning, reset the alarm and went back to sleep. That hour went by so fast! I really have to start going to bed earlier! I have a bunch of Herbalife training to do this afternoon and I will also do some elliptical or WATP.

I was way up this morning but it's my own fault. I couldn't stop eating yesterday! I'm going to try and stay totally ON PLAN all week including most of the weekend! No plans yet for the weekend but hopefully a friend is going to come over on Friday night for pizza. Busy week with activities for the kids. Ash has dancing tonight, a concert tomorrow night, Izzie has a dentist appointment on Wednesday and dancing plus there is a school book night at a local book store that I would like to take her to. I'm working 4 days this week. I am hoping to finally get my hair done one day this week! I contacted the hairdresser so hopefully I will hear back from her today.

Time to go warm up my hands and the massage table!

TTFN

Good morning everyone,

Well I turn the big 4-0 today and I am feeling great about it! Back when I was 35 I remember saying that I needed to lose some weight before I was 40. The reason was, my mom was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 40 so in the back of my head I have always thought that I need to get the weight off before then to hopefully not get it also. I know I can still get it - but I have lost almost 50 lbs. since August so at least I am trying to do something.

We had plans to go to Benihana tonight, but my youngest is home with a high fever so we will be putting that on hold. Not much to do today other then to keep him comfy and relax.

Hope everyone has a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Mine was yesterday and I turned 46. So I my long term goal is to be in tip top shape before I hit 50.

 

[dis-happy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTI!!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs to your LO too.

If I could wave my pixie-dust filled wand, I'd wish a massage for everyone on Team Mickey! All that talk about massages from tigger813 has me wishing for one, anyway.

QOTD: I love to get up early and stroll in through the IG, just enjoying the quiet music and empty streets before the WS opens. Maybe sit with a cup of coffee in the English Garden....



Good luck everyone! Today is a new start to the week! Good eating and thin thoughts to you!

 

[Holly324]

First of all...happy birthday Kristi!!!

Sorry all, I had a gain this week. Back to reality this week now! My husband and I are setting a huge goal for weight loss before we leave for disney in just over 9 weeks. That should help get my hind end back into gear. Been crazy around here. Won't be able to post much for awhile, but I am still trying!!!! Go team mickey!!

Funny, it was 1:30 am when I was woken up this morning by my dog freaking out over the wind/ thunderstorm. By the time I got her to settle down I didn't think I'd be able to sleep. For me I imagine the details of my next WDW trip or think of what I need to do the next day.

Happy Birthday!
We love Benihana, did you get your free coupon for your meal for your birthday? At a $30 value, it's a really great deal. I always get the lobster, shrimp & scallops on my bday. Hope your son feels better soon.

So, I am ready for the "I told you so's"! In the fall challenge I kept seeing everyone talk about how great chobani yogurt is, but for some reason I never tried it. Well my grocery store just started carrying it so I bought some yesterday. OMG it is so good! I am officially hooked.

Today is day 4 of eating more calories. While I had initially gained weight doing this (to be expected) I did notice the scale was a little lower today. I am still about a pound higher than Fridays weigh in, but I think this was the right decision. I think I was way too low before. In all I've added 300 calories to my diet so I will continue to evaluate for a few weeks. I made it to the gym 3 times last week too.
