Watch Out People !! ~ BEWARE ~ Slim Mojito Monkey Partying People In Progress !!

[becky_AK]

Good morning ladies~
So glad the weekend is over....it was a tough one! Keli, I was the same way this weekend...if the food was not nailed down or out of my sight, it was in my mouth.

Okay, but it is Monday & we can do this!! Let's just try to stay focused on our end goals and keep a positive attitude.

My goal for this week is to drink water, stay away from sugar, control my portions & write down everything that I eat. I think I've got the exercise thing down, just need to work on the nutrition & portions.

Have a great day everyone!

We were going to have a "pot" to win at the end but I think that fell off the wagon with a few of us and now we are mainly here for support !

NO WAY!!! I'm here for the cash!!!! I'm still in, if anyone else wants a side pot????

OK, so I am doing Low Carb, and have not fallen off the wagon per-say, as I have not eaten any bad carbs.... but have kind of stalled, and like I said, feel a little better, so now is the time I say, well, I did something, and I am better than before... so why continue??? The answer??? $$$$$$$ Just Kidding!

I'm still good for $10. We don't need to collect it until July, doncha think?

My goal for this week is to see 183- come hell or high water. If I have to spend all day on my darn elliptical (really- I wish I had a treadmill or a stairstepper or something MORE to use!) then that's what I'll do!!! On top of that, I want to see 600 minutes with the exercise challenge- that will put me to 1/2 of my goal for the MONTH!

Water- like I said, if you have one of the huge jugs, put it on your DESK. That way, you'll sip water all day. I usually drink 1-2 gallons of water during the weekdays- but that's because the jug is sitting here- just looking at me so I'm guilted into drinking it. Otherwise, I HATE water! BLAH!

I'm still in for the money to. Money is about the only thing that motivates me half the time...LOL

Ok - we'll do the $10 if you are still in this for the money then send me a PM and how you want to pay. We will do it via Paypal and if you don't have a paypal address you can send it to me via snail mail.



How did everyone do today ? I have had a great day so far. I have been drinking my water and journaling everything I have eaten !

 

[becky_AK]

What a quiet day! I actually have to work when no one is online talking... Today has gone pretty good. I had a really yummy salad for lunch, went for a walk during my break & haven't had any snacks all day. I feel pretty good, although I'm a bit tired today & have a little bit of a headache. The headache could be contributed to me not drinking any caffiene all day...I'm usually addicted. I need to drink more water though, I just don't get enough. Can't wait to get off of work in a couple hours & head to the gym for a little while.

Where's everyone at?

 

[chia92]

I did ok today! I had special k for breakfast with a cup of tea and then a salad for lunch. Of course I splurged on a little piece of baklava that they had in the office but I did not take the elevator all day!! I really need to get better with drinking water!! I think it is the nice weather I tend to eat less when it is nice out! Hope you all had a great day!

I'm here, I'm here. I've done my work-out so I'm at 500 for the month. Woo hoo! Foodwise, everything is going well too!~

 

[Patsfan7]

15 hours with no posts???? UGH!!!! Here I sit with my strawberries, cool whip and walnuts, all by myself????

Wake up people! Time to start moving for the day! lol

Sounds like everyone did pretty good for the day yesterday. I did pretty well for the most part yesterday. I had a GREAT day until i got home and splurged on gummy bears and cake But I did make up for it with a great dinner and a workout with my mom over at the gym.

I was on that darn elliptical for 23 minutes That thing kicked my butt. I then walked on the treadmill for about 20+ minutes ( lost track of time).

Today I have a busy day but I plan on going back to the elliptical and working out more. I have a water aerobics class tonight that I really SHOULD go to but I am making the excuse that Dan might not make it home in time and that the teacher isn't my favorite.

I really just need to suck it up and go !! I only have a few more months left before FREE DINING !!!

Morning ladies~
Just getting to work this morning. Getting ready to eat a hard boiled egg & salsa for breakfast...I'm addicted to salsa

Didn't get much exercise in yesterday. I went for a 20 minute walk, but Mondays are super busy days for me so I have little time to do anything. Tonight I'm going to the gym for water aerobics & then hopefully I'll get about a half hour on the elliptical or bike.

I can't believe how close we are getting to our trip. It's so exciting! I really need to start losing some weight though...I want to look good for the trip & I really want to pull out some of my pre-baby shorts & tank tops.

I have a question--I've never been on the dining plan before so we usually only ate a little bit here & there while at WDW. For those who have been on the DDP what is the weight gain or loss you experienced? I'm just curious if I am going to gain a ton of weight when I get to WDW while eating on the plan. Guess I'm a little nervous now...

This will be my 3rd experience with the dining plan and between the heat and all the walking you do.. you shouldn't worry about it Enjoy yourself. The one thing we did change between our first and second trip was to use our snack credit for a muffin in the morning, eat lunch earlier in the day (11) and eat dinner around 5 or so which gave us time to burn it off before bedtime.

That's good advice. A couple of my dinner reservations are for 7:30, but that'll still give us time to walk around after dinner. I was just so worried that with the amount of food available on the plan I'd come back from my trip 20 pounds heavier...not what I want to happen, that would be scary!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

We didn't have the DP on our honeymoon- but that didn't stop US from overindulging- constantly! LOL! I agree- don't worry about it. You get enough of a workout in the parks, so you won't gain. You just have to make sure that you don't carry OVER your eating habits once you leave WDW into real life!

Dang - that sounds good!

 

[Msslaydbug]

Ok - so how is everyone doing today ?

I did my photoshoot this morning and now I am eating my lean cuisine. I think once Austin gets home from school we are all going to take a long walk with the dog.

That will get myself out and moving and then tonight maybe I will have another go at that elliptical.

Everyone else drinking their water ?!
