Hi everyone!
Reporting back after returning from our 2 weeks at the World. This is the first, and only, thread I have caught up on so far! I made sure to get RIGHT back on plan, last time a trip to the World kick started the downward spiral for me from WW. My grocery cart was lookin' good on Sunday night when I re-stocked our cabinets, and I was happy to pass up all the temptations that I have let myself have while on vacation.
Eating at the World had good times, and bad. I know I was too full several times, but I often shared meals, or didn't finish them.
I tried to choose wisely many times (not always though!) I also polished off an ENTIRE bag of jelly beans and sour cheery balls by myself during those two weeks.
(and yes, they were the "Family Size"!)
Exercise consisted of walking (obviously!), swimming, dancing with my DS, we rented a surrey bike one day, and despite my good-intentions, only one work out in the gym. (I posted after that workout, I did a 5k!
)
So....overall...I was nervous about the scale. I knew I had walked a TON. But I was also eating stuff I normally didn't-like candy galore!
The scale was 3 pounds up the morning after we got back.
Not bad!
And two days later, 2.6 of it has already disappeared!
I'm hoping that trend continues and my WI on Friday will either be the same as pre-Disney, or lower.
Hi and thanks for this thread!!
Having just joined WW in early Feb (lost 5.1 so far) I've been a little worried about counting points in WDW. I have sooo many questions!
1. What about
DDP? It seemed like alot of food last year,
before I began counting.
2. Where are the best places to eat the healthier foods?
3. Will walking all day in the scorching Florida sun work off more points?
4. How well do you other WW's do at the post-trip weigh-ins?
Sorry, my mind is anxious to pre-plan all of my meals for our July trip, yet still enjoy myself and RELAX a little!
I have my next weigh-in tomorrow night (weigh-in Wednesday!!), so wish me luck.. Thanks and
We are DVC members and can pick and choose our dining plans. We had one night of QSDP, one of DDP and one of DxDDP. The DxDDP night we had Chef Mickeys, Teppan Edo and Kona. The only meal I felt like I was overfull on was Kona. I think I would have felt that way even without the appetizer-I had the steak and it's HUGE! I didn't even half of it even! The DDP night we had the Play & Dine breakfast at Hollywood and Vine. I liked doing the buffets while on the DDP because I still felt like I got my money's worth, but could also control the amount of food on my plate. So, if you are doing the DDP-try for the buffets. They always have healthy options and you are more in control.
Teppan Edo seemed pretty healthy - I know they use oil, but at least there are vegetables.
I echo someone else's suggestion of Sunshine Seasons. Flame Tree has some decent options too. At the Poly CS there are steamed vegetables as a side option, and they are YUMMY. If I remember anything else that stood out as a good option, I will post.
I didn't keep track of my Activity Points, but I tried to add in extra exercise whenever I could. I purposely chose myself as the FastPass runner. When we went swimming, I SWAM, not just played around with DS. I volunteered to run errands as we needed them, etc.
So, we checked out of POR today and into Caribbean Beach. The kids are loving the pool here. We have been in March before and I have NEVER seen so many people here this time of year
. I know it's spring break but there are so many groups of kids: band groups, cheerleaders, LAX teams, choir groups my goodness. We are having a good time but starting to miss my bed. I will be wanting to hide the scale when I get home, ugh, I have not been my best
. I will be better this week though. Ok, hope everyone has a good week.
It was BUSY! Our last couple days were intense with teenagers. We were on the monorail and we were the only family on there! Surrounded by teens!
I hope despite all the people, you are having a fantastic time!!!

. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
