TEAM MICKEY--Biggest Loser 11 Spring Team Challenge!

[Sugarglider]

Now for my fav park: No doubt - Tokyo Disney Sea - the most beautiful park in the world. A magic kingdom anywhere is special and each has something unique. EPCOT truely is an interesting place - so different now from when I first visited in 1993 and it was all educational!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

I remember you guys going through all that. Has it calmed down there for you somewhat? And if does get fired, the whistles, cannons, and grenades will be blowed!!!! At this point, calling in a complaint would be obvious, make the guy mad. Unfortunately, he's in a butt-kissing sort of place right now. He HATES that, but loves us more!


I'VE NEVER SEEN COP!!! I hope, one day, I'll be able to.

For the moment things are ok at his job but you never know day to day. There is always a finger pointed or a blame waiting, oh by the way its never the bosses fault only mike and his coworkers. Like brad his job has alot to do with how others perform and if they make a mistake it falls back on mike. Like he can control the world.

and how could you have never done COP. girl you dont know what your missing. It needs to be your must do next trip.

NOW we voted for new unit council members. I am now "magically" voted on this council and I am now forced to have to deal with this. I am not happy about this at all!!! I really feel like I was completely screwed in all of this.

I feel like this at work too. If I bring up something that needs to be fixed or give out a good idea its always just more work for me in the end.

Hey everyone!
I am happy to report that I didn't overindulge at the kids parties yesterday. I did have a piece of pizza and cake and a glass of wine, but thats good compared to what I would have eaten had I not been on a diet (chips, fries, mozz sticks, 2nd piece of cake lol) We had a nice time

great job on controlling your eating. Parties are always the hardest. I love the cakes they are awesome.

Carousel of Progress--duh. I love Carousel of Progress.

thanks for the instructions on the onions.

Ok, planned my menus for the week! Just have to make a grocery list. Mike will do the shopping if I make the list. I feel like this is a pretty good deal. Here's my plan:
Sunday--Carrot bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches
Monday--Veggie burgers and brussel sprouts with walnuts and cranberries
Tuesday--crustless broccoli quiche
Wednesday--African stew in the crockpot
Thursday--black bean spinach pizza
Friday--leftovers
Saturday--ravioli w/pumpkin sauce

wow your menu sounds so gourmet. Im impressed.

Anyway, I am sitting here once again with a fever of 99.7 and a resting pulse of 105. Not a good week for me again.

you poor thing. feel better.

Hi Everyone,

I didn't think I had plans for the weekend and it's been pretty busy so far.

Hi CC. Great job staying OP. Glad you are having a good weekend.

well - first a quick flood update: here are some images: http://tiny.cc/sdi8y
These are the worst floods in 120 years apparently.

oh gosh that is so horrible. I am saying prayers for everyone affected by them. Be safe.

Ok well times up on here, got to get upstairs to watch the eagles game. GO EAGLES. Be back later.

STRESS VENT - FEEL FREE TO SKIP!

Yesterday was really, really hard. I was trying to be so strong for DH, because I am not proud of my initial reaction. He feels like he has let the family down, and I know I added to that by my initial hysterics! He feels very betrayed, scared, worried, and completely depressed. Didn't sleep at all Friday night. I keep trying to pump him up, and he had a few moments of that yesterday, where he was all"I'm going in and SHOWING them what I'm made of. They gave me an impossible list, and I'm going to do it just to prove them wrong." He said some of the items weren't as impossible as he first made them out to be, but it's going to require EVERYONE who works for him to work harder than they ever have. I basically told him to start his morning meeting tomorrow giving them the details, and showing them a picture of the girls, and telling them that if they don't care about him, to think about his children that they would be letting down. I am still scared senseless, but MAD!!!!! He was nominated earlier in the year for THE PRESIDENT's AWARD from corporate because of the performance of his department. Corporate leaders have been down to personally congratulate him, and know his name (Fortune 500 HUGE company with lots of holdings) HELLO!! I told him that if worse comes to worse, he OR I would be contacting corporate. Don't know if it will do any good, but we'll see. We're going to write out an hourly plan for him, and his employees tonight, and hope we can nail down a solid plan for him to indeed "SHOW THEM" His boss, in all honesty, we think has some sort of mental disorder, because he can be "you're lucky I'm not writing you up" one minute, and 1 hour later shaking his hand and telling him what an awesome job he's doing. There have been many complaints about this guy....


Sorry for this vent guys, like I said, I can't really get this all out with DH around. I tend to go from worst case scenarios to it's all going to be just fine, he can do this, then back to we're going to lose everything.

First of all both of you need to take some deep breaths and relax, so that you can tackle what needs to happen. Good luck to both of you. Make sure you document everything so you will have it to take to corporate.

Today I went for a walk outside in the snow and cold. It was very windy if I go again and it is that windy I need to wear either windproof pants or a 2 pairs and take some tissues.

I was going to stop at Starbucks and get a drink there as I have gift cards for there I got for Christmas. Instead I came home and made myself a small cup of hot chocolate. My drink at Starbucks would have been much bigger and had more calories.

1-9-11 Sunday QOTD

Which is your favorite Disney Park and why?
Can I pick a Disney ship or Castaway Cay? Seriously I love DCL. Since that really isn't a park I will say Epcot Center. Not sure if it is because I was born the year it opened or that my parents always made us go to the MK last in our first rotation of parks visits but I really like Epcot. I have a fascination with water so I have always loved the Living Seas. I also love World Showcase as I love exploring the different countries as I love to travel. I also love how they have different events throughout the year in Epcot, Flower and Garden and Food and Wine. I also love wandering Epcot at night.

Just keep moving and making healthy choices everyone.

I totally could see Tokyo Disney Sea being my favorite park as it looks awesome. I have never been there but it is definitely on my bucket list of places I hope to visit.

Hi Team Mickey! I was cleaning out my inbox, and this really resonated with me:

http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3841071

 

[KSH]

I last checked in today when I was heading out for my run. well......
I completed it at a 12min pace, in 30 degree weather, while it was snowing. At one point my eyelashes froze together and I had to wipe my eye a few times until I could open it. The first few miles wasnt bad but by the end I was slipping all over the place. It was interesting but I did it and feel very proud of myself.

Awesome! You should be proud, that is not easy! Most people would never have stepped foot outside with conditions like that.

The Brussels Sprouts were roasted with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.

I love brussel sprouts!! Definitely need to try that!

So...I ended the week down 3 pounds! Woo-hoo! Even more exciting since right now it's that TOM for me, so I wasn't expecting much of a loss! Here's hoping I can keep up the momentum!

Congratulations, that is great!

Sorry for this vent guys, like I said, I can't really get this all out with DH around. I tend to go from worst case scenarios to it's all going to be just fine, he can do this, then back to we're going to lose everything.

Taryn, so sorry you and DH are going through this. You'll make it! Sending prayers and hugs.

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

Okay, first weigh in is over. Some things to think about if you didn't have the results you expected!

1. How much salt are you consuming? Trust me, that stuff can add POUNDS of bloating!

2. Are you drinking the water? It will flush out all sorts of bad stuff, the more you drink, the better. Plus, you feel full!

3. You might be replacing fat with muscle if you are really incorporating a lot of exercise for the first time. Muscle DOES NOT weigh more than fat, but it takes up much less space. If you are doing WIN, you'll see the differences in your measurements in a few weeks. So if you replaced 5 pounds of 5 with 5 pounds of muscle, your weight would stay the same, but your body would look like this:

How's that for a little Sunday morning motivation????

Thanks for being here, and keep sending up the PPD!!!!!
Have a great day!
Taryn

Great reminders, thank you! I am not incorporating exercise for the first time, but coming back strong after a looooooong holiday break so that may be affecting the scale. I really should do WIN but haven't yet...hadn't thought about it that way.

Ok, planned my menus for the week! Just have to make a grocery list. Mike will do the shopping if I make the list. I feel like this is a pretty good deal. Here's my plan:
Sunday--Carrot bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches
Monday--Veggie burgers and brussel sprouts with walnuts and cranberries
Tuesday--crustless broccoli quiche
Wednesday--African stew in the crockpot
Thursday--black bean spinach pizza
Friday--leftovers
Saturday--ravioli w/pumpkin sauce

Sounds wonderful! How do you cook the grilled cheese? I usually get it out but lately figured it was off limits. I am really cooking challenged - isn't it pan fried in some oil? With the snow and ice predicted it would be great to have grilled cheese at home with some soup.

Anyway, I am sitting here once again with a fever of 99.7 and a resting pulse of 105. Not a good week for me again.

Feel better!

1-9-11 Sunday QOTD

Which is your favorite Disney Park and why?

Epcot! I love the rides (especially Soarin') and the World Showcase. It is fun talking with the CMs from the other countries. And the food of course!

Looks like we are in for quite a snow/ice storm tonight. All the inaugural festivities for our new Governor were cancelled for tomorrow, and I had a breakfast meeting scheduled on Tuesday that has been cancelled already as well. So we've done the usual grocery shopping, and to help make sure I stay on track I took all the snack-y type stuff we got (I usually try not to keep any around!) and measured out some 1-, 2- and 3-point servings using my scale. I am ready!! Just hope we don't lose power. That would not be fun. We do have a fireplace and a gas stove so we'll be ok, just bored!!

Hope you all have a great week ahead!

I have been getting some blank messages from boards@disboards.com so I don't know if there is a problem so if you have tried to send me a weigh in please try again.

TTFN

 

[tigger813]

Still haven't worked out as I ended up taking a 2 hour nap on the couch wrapped in my Snuggie that a co-worker gave me! Felt a lot better after that nap. I still need to do a few minutes of a workout to reach my weekly goal for the EASA2. I think I have 11 minutes to do.

Not eaten well today. We had Fritos with salsa con queso for supper! PMS is ending so I will be back on track tomorrow! I need to drink some water tonight.

Not sure what DH and I will watch tonight. We have some things recorded and there's not much else on.

Gotta reset my alarm for 5 so I can get in a good workout and get the week started right! Mondays and Wednesdays are my usual big workout days unless I have to work at night on Wednesdays. I will also have a shake for breakfast and lunch tomorrow and a regular supper since DD1 doesn't have Irish Step at 5. She does have basketball at 6 though. That will be a nice break for her.

I think I'll get a glass of water now and run downstairs and get my EASA2 workout done before I chicken out!

Which is your favorite Disney Park and why?

I with Becky! DCL and Castaway Cay!

But, if I had to pick a park, I'd pick EPCOT too. Such a variety of stuff there, from rides, to Lands, to Countries.

So, was there a total from Week 1's weigh in?
Which team lost the most?

Hi everyone
well - first a quick flood update: here are some images: http://tiny.cc/sdi8y
These are the worst floods in 120 years apparently. I can't quite explain how big this thing is - kinda like an area about 1/6 of the USA. Fortunately there was one town which was expecting 45ft river peak (above sea level - so maybe 8 - 10ft on land) but the peak wasn't that high and the sand bags held.

Oh, that is awful, so many of those pictures are heartbreaking!

Hi Team Mickey! I was cleaning out my inbox, and this really resonated with me:

http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3841071

that resonated with me too. I am really starting all over with the weight loss journey. I have so much to loose. even after I loose 100 pounds, I am still terribly overweight! but I am looking forward to loosing that!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Favorite Disney park that one is hard. I LOVE MK, but this past time, it didn't seem as magical to me, maybe because I have been there alot, done everything over and over. EPCOT is a close second, still haven't done everything there.

But maybe I would have to say Magic Kingdom at Disneyland. I LOVED it!!!! Completely and totally fell in love with DLR.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

This week I am going to try something new. I am REALLY bad at time management. I am a REALLY good procrastinator, so putting those 2 together is not good for getting things done. So after I get my work assignment (it changes daily for my start time) I will plan out the next day. 30 min. - 1 hr. for exercising, 30 minutes for projects, and 30 minutes for reading. and depending on how much time I have left I will put in time for cleaning, computer time, etc. And as crazy as it sounds plan in family time too. I want to make sure no one gets neglected, but that I also use my time wisely. I think it will help the mindless eating, as I mostly eat off plan when I am procrastinating. "experts" often say that you should schedule in time to exercise, so I will do that. AND I will make sure to have a day that I don't plan, so that I am not overscheduled!

wish me luck!

I love these ideas! I especially like the bolded part! and



I came on to post a question about our upcoming trip. It's not for a while, but I do need one ADR and I don't want to mess this up. It's for my parents' anniversary. Any suggestions? I'll be paying for it using the OT I'm about to start, so cost is not really a factor (it is, but it isn't, if you KWIM), but they have ruled out V&A. They do not want to give up that much time in the parks and/or dress up that much. We are also not app, entree, and dessert type people, so someplace that doesn't push all 3 courses (or more) for every person would be helpful too. Does such a place exist? TIA!

Have a great day everyone!

Sugarglider--hope you stay safe and dry!

Good job resisting starbucks!

I used to cook grilled cheese with butter in a frying pan. Now I make it on the George Foreman. It can be a little messy if the cheese oozes out, but cuts down on the calories, because I don't put anything on the outside of the bread. Sometimes I use ciabatta. Tonight I used 1/2 a pita with a little bit of cheddar cheese. It was really yummy. The soups we eat are usually pretty low fat, and in this case, I was getting some protein from the cheese.

I hope the weather isn't too bad. My son is at USC and they are calling for a mess. We are supposed to get several inches of snow here, but no ice. We are on the northern edge of this mess. We called DS today and told him to park his car somewhere that it could sit for several days and to make sure they had some food in their apartment. He lives on campus, but I'm not convinced they won't shut things down. We had an ice storm here several years ago and the two universities closed and asked the kids to leave. They have a lot of out of state kids at USC so I don't think that will happen, but it's a little unnerving. I hope you don't lose power.

Folks have until Monday to send in weights, so results will come out usually on Tuesdays.

Oh, that is awful, so many of those pictures are heartbreaking!

Hang in there. One step at a time, one bite at a time, one meal at a time. I really identified with how sad she was that she treated herself that way, and with how she now celebrates in ways other than with food.

I think that's a great plan! I don't have kids at home and I only work 3 or 4 days a week, but I still make sure each week to have a plan for exercise and I try to have a plan for meals. It makes decisions easy when I am tired. I think planning a day off is a great idea, too!

We had our carrot bisque. It was pretty good--it had cumin and ginger and banana and coconut milk in it--and a couple other things. Mike really liked it. I liked it and will make it again, though it wasn't my favorite.

Tomorrow my plan is work and then group strength after work if the weather cooperates. I haven't been since December 15, so it could be rather painful!

Have a great evening!

CC--we really like Narcoosee. It's at the Grand Floridian. It has a dress code, but it is pretty relaxed. You could come there from the parks or go to MK afterwards. If you time it right you can see Wishes from there and the boat parade. We ate there for our anniversary in May and they printed a special menu and brought us a glass of champagne. They do have apps and desserts, but if you don't want them, you could skip them. Last time I had a salad and soup--I didn't like the vegetarian entree and the server was fine with it. She actually helped me to pick something and checked to make sure that the soup didn't have chicken stock. We've eaten there twice and both times had a fabulous time. We took Tom at Christmas and he loved it as well. Oh and a lot of times there is a photographer in the lobby of the GF taking photo pass pictures, which is cool as well. Hope this helps!

I was just reading on facebook a friend of mine who ran the goofy this weekend is stuck in WDW. Her plane was suppose to transfer in atlanta and was cancelled due to the weather. I would say an extra day at WDW is nothing to complain about. I would be going bananas. I hope your safe through the storm and that you dont get too bored.

good luck vija. That sounds like a good idea. I usually have to make lists of what I need to get done during the day or I do a whole lotta nothing.

I came on to post a question about our upcoming trip. It's not for a while, but I do need one ADR and I don't want to mess this up. It's for my parents' anniversary. Any suggestions?

I think ohana's is nice especially if you request a window seat with the view of the castle. It is much less "fancy" but yet still nice. Thats very nice of you to do this for your parents. Im sure anywhere you pick they will love.

Ok so the mood in our house is not good at the moment. Dh hasnt spoken since michael vick threw the interception to end the game and seal the fate of the eagles yet again. Well next for me is looking forward to the phillies season. At least they figured out how to win championships.

Our friend that came over brought up all dairy queen blizzards. I felt horrible but said thank you for thinking of us but we are trying to eat healthier right now and since we are just getting back we shouldnt eat it. He was not upset at all and said he would take it home and eat it during the week. He is a good friend of ours otherwise I would have normally felt bad and just ate it. I thought this was a good NSV (non scale victory) for me.

I still ate more than my daily points today but overall did ok. I just used some of the extra weekly points. I am prepared for a good week. the fridge and pantry is stocked with good healthy options!

BRB with tomorrows QOTD

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

I saw so many wonderful posts of everyones losses this week on the scale. It is so exciting to see everyone really transforming their health.

1-10-11 Monday QOTD

Tell us one or more NSV (non scale victory) you have had since Jan 1st.


I ran 7 miles in the snow.
I turned down a dairy queen blizzard that was purchased for me
I ate more veggies this week than I have in a long while
I put on a belt that I havent used since last year and I had to take it back off because their was no hole where I needed one, even using the tightest hole it made the belt a few inches too big.

Which is your favorite Disney Park and why?

I do love all 4 parks at Disney World. Yes, even AK. I do find it beautiful and I always have fun when I am there.

But, my absolute favorite is the Magic Kingdom. I love everything about it. My DW and I have been so many times that we don't feel the need to spend our whole time on the rides. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the rides, but I like to take it all in, I could spend hours just walking down Main Street alone.

I passed up the calzones that I helped the boys make yesterday. I haven't opened any of the candy that Santa brought me. I spend way too much time tearing apart our PS3 and rebuilding it today after it over heated on Friday and no longer worked. I couldn't spend $200 for Sony to fix it so I found a tutorial on youtube and fixed it myself. I actually took it apart 4 times as the first fix only lasted a few minutes so the second time I heated it up much more, but missed a couple of connections. The third and 4th time was finding the connections I missed the good news is that it seems to be working now I always consider saving money and making my family happy to be a victory

 

[jenjolt]

I just have to say how inspiring it is to come here and read all of your posts!! You guys have me extremely motivated!! so THANK YOU!!!

I turned down an entire plate of cakes given to me by my students. Waited until they were gone and got rid of it...no need to hurt any feelings.

Worked out everyday last week!!!!

SIZE 12 JEANS!!!!!! WOOT WOOT (Haven't seen that size in 6 years)

Planning meals!!! Works wonders for me!
