The Inlaws are coming, the Inlaws are coming. June 2-12-2011 PTR- UPDATED 10/20

I am so excited that they put lap bars on Splash Mountain. I wasn't going to let Madeline ride it even though she's tall enough but now she can.

In other news, I"m down 13 pounds in 4 weeks. I haven't even started exercising yet. I hope to loose another 30 before out trip. If I can loose 2lbs a week then it's totally dooable.

Congrats on the weight loss! Mine is coming off much more slowly-I'm at 4 weeks now and still under 10 pounds. But, it's still GOING. I have been exercising more than ever, so I wonder if I'm building some muscle which sometimes causes a slight increase in weight at first.

I'm glad they are putting lap bars on Splash too. I haven't ridden it in a long time, so I was surprised to read that it was a new thing! Now people won't climb out of the logs!

I'm sure yours is coming off more slowly cause you have less weight to loose. I'm thinking mine will start slowing down after about 10 more pounds. I'd love to be exercising but I just can't seem to get Duncan on a schedule with all of the running around I have to do with Madeline.

Congrats!!! Shannon on the weight loss!!! 2#'s a week should be easy, until you get closer to the end, than you'll have to work for it.

Lap bars on Splash Mountain!! maybe now I'll give it a try and Ashton should be able to this go round too!

Ok somehow I missed that you were going back in October. How fun! Do you have a PTR?

 

[longing2Batdisney]

The day on facebook that I asked how do you book; I called and BOOKED!
the CM was able to use an older pin and we are booked at the CBR....
no, I do not have a PTR yet....a few of us had thought about doing a group one, but I have been thinking since this is our first time doing the DDP I may do one so I can get some help with decisions. I get to make ADR's April 1!!

Maybe I'll start one Monday....hmmmm

 

[brookelizabeth]

thanks!

I have about 30 to loose. I'd like to do 35 though. Today I was down 1.6, so that was awesome! Of course it was weigh-in day so I pigged out at dinner.... I allow that on Friday's for myself though.

I exercise after Joe gets home from work, while he and Henry play (after dinner), or after Henry goes to bed. Most of the time I just want to do NOTHING, or DIS, after H is in bed, but I make myself exercise. Once I get into it, I love it! It's the getting into it that's the hard part....

 

[chicagoshannon]

I've been neglecting this PTR. Not much going on with planning at the moment.

Brooke- how's the weight loss
Connie- I need to go read you PTR some more

Weigh in is tomorrow and I'm hoping to be at 19 lbs lost. I was hoping to reach 20 this week but I've been naughty. Anyway...

I'm about to order a couple of outfits on Etsy for my gang. I'm going to get Duncan a Jon Jon set with Jedi Mickey and his name on it, Madeline will get a dress with Leia Minnie and her name and Eric will get a T-shirt with Darth Mickey. I can't wait to get them!

My personalized maps arrived a couple of weeks ago also.

I think I've decided against the Wishes dessert party. Madeline has said she wants to watch the fireworks this year so we'll just watch them like everyone else. Although I'm sure she'd like to pig out on desserts while watching them. Not sure Eric will want to pay for that though.

We're all fighting off colds right now. It's my 2nd in like 3 weeks. I cant' wait for spring. I've surely been dreaming of Disney a lot lately.

Cue the shower. I think best in the shower these days. No kids yelling at me or crying for me. It's pure All of the sudden I was like DUH lets take the IL's in 2011 and my parents in 2012.

I am with you not at you. The shower is EXACTLY how we ended up going in May for SWW & DH'd bday instead of October & MNSSHP. No denying when a great hits you.

I am just joining in. We will be at WDW for the first weekend of SWW. I'll keep ya posted

Hmm a Disney souvenir would be SO AWESOME but then again, I wouldn't mind just getting in some practice time if you KWIM. Between midnight shifts for DH, a 7 yo, and big dog that stick his nose ....well. anyway....you get it (I don't)

That condo looks fabulous!!! I know I am only on p 1 and you are a 9....i just can't help adding on more comments.

Glad I'm not the only one that has ideas in the shower. I'm anxious to know about the souvenirs at SWW this year. Please let me know what you find with those.

The condo is a lot of fun! It's so roomy too.

There seems to be a lot of Disney souvenirs coming back. You need to be really careful if you don't want one.

Good Luck! with the weigh in Shannon, maybe you might be surprised and hit the 20 mark. I haven't been doing much planning lately, waiting for the hours to come out should be in about a week or two.

Sounds like some great finds off of Etsy.

As scrumptous as the dessert party sounds I just don't think for the money, we would care for it. To late at night for Ashton (and Danny & I) to be eating those kind of sweets and calories.

Thanks Connie. As of this morning I was only down .5 pounds from last week. I"m hoping to be down 1 lb, would need 2lbs to hit 20 so I doubt it. I'm ok with it though. I know I've been naughty.

Our tickets just came! Now i have to make sure I dont' loose them!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

TICKETS!!!

I usually put ours at the bottom of my underware drawer; year before last I had put them on the top of our bedroom television and two weeks before the trip could not remember where I put them

This year I won't have to worry about the disney tickets since they are included in the pkg I chose. But, will be ordering our SW and/or IOA tickets so I'll have to be sure to follow my own advice.

I am making a weight watchers potato soup for dinner tonight. I HAVE to loose whatever I can manage before this cruise. But, whenever I say I am going to start watching and working toward loosing weight I always GAIN I had lost three #'s two weeks ago and I bet I gained it back and more to afraid to get on the scale.

Have a great day!

I HATE the scale. Hopefully I can loose the 1.5 pounds I need to this week to get to 20 pounds. I just need to do better.

I just ordered the Star Wars outfits for my family. As soon as they come I'll take a picture. I think it will be about a month or so til they get here.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Sorry to hear about the 0.5 this week, but hey - a loss is a loss!!! You'll get it!

As for me, last week I was up a bit, but so far I've been kicking butt this week. I am going to exercise again tonight. I am really hoping to be at a total of 15 pounds before Disney-and this Friday is the last WI. I'm less than 2 lbs away. Fingers crossed, broccoli on the plate.

Yay for tickets arriving! When the new outfits do, please post pics!!!

I'm thinking all of the yummy food pictures in your PTR could be affecting your weight loss. I know it affected mine yesterday.


I just made a countdown chain. 99 days to go!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

double digits! 99 days to go

it will go by so fast now!
I have been thinking about countdown calendars for this year...want to do something a little different for Ashton this year

LOL! Good point! I do find myself craving chocolate lately!

YAY FOR DOUBLE DIGITS!!!!

OK gonna throw myself a pity party since no one checked in.

I talked to Eric very briefly last night and as suspected he wants to eat breakfast at Tusker House. I then said maybe we should let Madeline get her hair/makeup done at BBB and he said "I thought you said it was a ripoff". haha

I realize I am WAY LATE to the party, but I am here anyway.

I know the kids are cute and all but the BBB really is waaaay over the top on my budget. I am going to take my DD (7) to the Barber shop on Main St at the MK....$20 and she gets her hair done (and a trim, too!) and pretty sparkles. She will be just as happy with that, maybe more so, and we will have the $ for other things (like face paint, which she loved!) Just MHO
