There's no time to slumber we're going back in November! we came we saw and started a TR for it all!

[deedee2177]

Poor Cutie-Pie Meg! I hope she is doing ok!

Great Maine updates!

I know the feeling about getting the November trip paid off. I sat down yesterday and figured out I have 6 paychecks before the balance is due on 10/1/15!! That is crazy to me!! I know they have a grace period, but I really want to get it paid off by that date so that way I can use the remaining time/paychecks for the other parts of the trip (rental car, gas, spending $).

North Conway is adorable. I am trying to talk DH into a September Storyland trip but... We are kinda going to Disney in September so.....

Love your pictures of the scenic railway. It really is gorgeous.

On the low carb front I am not doing weigh ins but I am going by how my clothes fit. I had a pair of shorts that didn't button on July 4th that I put on today. That's 5 days of low carb dieting & my shorts fit. I mean I wore them in actual public. Holy Canolli!

Also I made unsweetened whipping cream. I use it on my SF jello instead of SF cool whip to save carbs & chemicals. Yum! A tbs goes a long way.

I also made zucchini boat pizzas this week. Those were okay. I should have let the zucchini crisp up a bit more. Very filling. I bet zucchini boats with taco filling would be great too. Or meat sauce & parm!!

Having so much fun coming up with LC recipies!

As always, nice pictures! North Conway reminds me of some of the old towns here in Louisiana and Arkansas, our neighbor to the North. (which, by the way also has a town named Conway)

the train station pics are great! Looks like a cute little town.

 

[KathyM2]

talk about an action packed day!

You sure did!! What an adorable town and you got some amazing pictures!

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

All caught up!
Poor Meg. What an ordeal.

It might be good to get a second opinion. A full arm cast that doesn't even immobilize the broken finger seems a bit illogical.

Yes.. My sister looked at it and said yes her fingers can wiggle but the knuckle is immobile.. so far so good!

And there is a real mountain behind it instead of a landfill.

NO KIDDING!!! i want to take a picture of our land fill to show D and suzi Chicago has mountains too! LOL

10 disks! How long is your drive?!?

16-18 hours one way!

Love all your train station pics They're just a tiny step above our CTA, wouldn't ya say?!

Just a weeeeee bit....

Love that town! What an adorable train station. How is Meg's finger doing?

I have a super nosy question for you I love your dogs, but I am curious how much dog food do they eat?

We have a mini dachshund (11 pounds) and a standard dachshund (25 pounds) they don't eat much.

It's doing good thanks!!!
HA HA! that's not a nosy question.. about a 30 pound bag a week. Right now raven is on puppy food to get her weight up.. but we have to do yard clean up at least twice a day...

Poor Cutie-Pie Meg! I hope she is doing ok!

************************************************************

Hello all! hope you had a great weekend!!!

I have some work to do on the other PTR which i would like to be done before i come back here and update! Sorry I hope to get you all some fun stuff for you all SOON!

In the mean time i did jump on the scale. I needed to see how much weight i gained from eating like a maaaaa-roon like potato salad pasta salads. ever since the 4th of july i was terrible...
Much to my surprise i LOST 1 pound! I have NO idea how...
So i am down 31 pounds!! GOOOOO ME!
this week i am working my tail off to stay ON my low carb diet and see how it goes this saturday!!!

I was off from job #2 all weekend!
Friday i had dog training so i had to run Zack out to his all start game then book it back get Matt and Meg dinner then to training and i did everything ON TIME!

Saturday Zack had another game.. Poor kid...
Bottom of the 6th LAST INNING we are down by 4..... 2 outs and guess who is up? Yep Zack
count is 2-2 I was scared he was going out being struck out. NOPE he hit the ball yet was tagged out on first.
oh well next time!!! at least he didn't strike out!

Then it was off to my parent's house for my Mom's 60th birthday party!!! We had a great time as usual. Didn't get home until 9:30!

Sunday? I cleaned... For 7 hours. that includes a break since my vacuum died on me. all kids pitched in!


Today i'm supposed to have lunch with my boss before he skeddadles out fo town for the week
Zack has yet another game...



SO i hope to have something for you all between today and tomorrow with both Disney and Maine updates!!

 

[Pluto0809]

So i am down 31 pounds!! GOOOOO ME!

Way to go!!

Sounds like a busy weekend or should I just say a typical weekend for you?

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

Great job on the weight loss. 31 pounds!

 

[goofymimi]

Your pictures of the train station are gorgeous, we went to the Smoky Mountains in October and went on the Smoky Mountain Railroad, they have a Charlie Brown special ride during October, you get off the train at a pumkin patch with Snoopy, Lucy and Charlie..my 7 yr old grandson loved it...You are doing fantastic with your weight loss...congratulations!!!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Down 31 pounds? Way to go, Idaho!! (Can you guess that movie? )

 

[Denovagirl]

Wooooohooooo on loosing a pound when you weren't thinking you would!!

Did I just see that? A new PTR! SQUEEEEEE!!! I want it NOWWWWW so I can go look!!!

 

[JKeenz]

The North Conway pictures are just killing me! LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH!
It just reminds me of what a great place that is, and only a couple of hours from me... MUST. GET. BACK. THERE!!! One Day!

And congrats on 31 pounds, that is seriously amazing.

So yeah... I need to focus on making sure we get our trip paid off too! I obsess over ADRs and forget that if we don't actually PAY for the trip, there will be no trip! I also need to let my MIL know how much she owes us, hahaha!

You might think we're crazy, but we opted not to do free dining, for a few reasons... 1. we don't park hop, so it annoyed me that we would have had to upgrade the tickets to park hoppers, 2. traveling with the little guy could make TS meals a little more challenging, but we don't want to commit to only QS meals either (will still do one reservation most days, and 3. we have done trips both with the dining plan and without, and think that doing our own thing just works out better for us! We tend to eat less and are also planning on making a big grocery order before hand too, so will probably do breakfast in our room many days. So there you have it! Different strokes for different folks.... and I dare you not to sing!!!

Fingers are crossed that a room-only discount will come available for November soon. (I second guess myself sometimes and wish that we had jumped on free dining when it was available... and i'll be so upset if the room only discount never comes!) There is a thread here on the DIS with that subject and someone apparently talked to a CM the other day who said the fall room discounts should be out very soon! So here's hoping!

Oh & about losing the extra lb, I was reading about carb cycling & I think that's what happened to you ( kinda) I think I am going to try it once I get down a few lbs.

Exactly.. I really need to start paying this thing off...

You might think we're crazy, but we opted not to do free dining, for a few reasons... 1. we don't park hop, so it annoyed me that we would have had to upgrade the tickets to park hoppers, 2. traveling with the little guy could make TS meals a little more challenging, but we don't want to commit to only QS meals either (will still do one reservation most days, and 3. we have done trips both with the dining plan and without, and think that doing our own thing just works out better for us!

Different strokes for different folks.... and I dare you not to sing!!!

Nope don't think your crazy... a lot of people don't use the dining plan.
Ya take the good ya take the bad...

Fingers are crossed that a room-only discount will come available for November soon. (I second guess myself sometimes and wish that we had jumped on free dining when it was available... and i'll be so upset if the room only discount never comes!) There is a thread here on the DIS with that subject and someone apparently talked to a CM the other day who said the fall room discounts should be out very soon! So here's hoping!

i called again yesterday still no discounts! GRRRRRR
I think right now it's up to October.. i could be wrong.

Congratulations on the weight loss!!!! Anxiously waiting the NEW PTR!!!

She already started it, go check out post 1097 on the previous page!!

There what she said....

Whut? How did I miss a NEW PTR?

Oh & about losing the extra lb, I was reading about carb cycling & I think that's what happened to you ( kinda) I think I am going to try it once I get down a few lbs.

ahh you are probably right.. But a WHOLE WEEK of eating like a fool?!?! whatever im not questioning it.

Thanks, Ariana!!! No clue how I missed that!!!
