Ride my very favorites maybe. But, mostly, just try to soak up as much magic as possible. 
Ok here are my goals and intro above..
Got here too late for May but I am excited to join in for June!
I haven't started out so well on this, my latest attempt at a health kick. I do okay thru most of the day and then I get home and munch.Gotta get my act together...
I just decided that I am going to the "fake it 'til you make it" stage until it becomes the real thing! 
I love all your 
! Keep up the good work and keep inspiring us to follow your example. Got here too late for May but I am excited to join in for June!
CarlyJo! It's NEVER too late to join one of our challenges! And you have three whole weeks left so lots of time to make some great progress. Good luck! 
I'm going with the good old less calories in, more calories out approach. Lots of exercise and weighing my portions to control them. My Fitness Pal, Strava, RunKeeper all help with this. I have tried WW in the past but it is really expensive and I can't justify the cost, but I know many have been successful with it. I did have a Bodyfit Media that I was wearing but I do not think it was really accurate after several months so now I am taking a break and manually counting. So far I do not miss it.
I think the key for me is to PLAN things, even if I end up eating the same breakfast a million days in a row. Better to be bored than at loose ends.
I have a WHOO HOO Wednesday as well today! We reserved back in August for this coming October trip. TA was able to get us an extra day at the hotel, extra day of park hoppers and free dining this morning and save us $400 in the process. We are so excited!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
And a big on an extra day at WDW for less money! It sounds like it would be really fun and interesting and I bet they have some fabulous food. When I read "just gluten intolerance" I was reminded of the folks who say "just the marathon." 
"Just gluten intolerance" has been every bit as life altering as any other medical diagnosis could be for you. I bet there will be lots of people with various diagnoses relating to gluten there and I'm sure there will be no gluten free bashing. Go and have fun! And maybe add a little visit to DL too.

Planning, planning, planning.... and of course, planning helps me a lot too!

I'm sure that she will have a great time and learn a lot and she definitely won't be letting any moss grow under her feet with that kind of schedule.

I'm having the same problem myself, Connie.
Great idea!!
I am doing WW Points Plus plan but I have to admit that is not working for me right now. I need to do something different but I haven't quite figured out what that is. DH is interested in the Mediterranean diet and I think I can mesh that with Simply Filling on WW. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions . . .
Why not give it a try for a week or two? I'd like to say "nothing ventured, nothing gained" but obviously we don't want to GAIN!!!So I'll change it to "nothing ventured, nothing learned"! I discovered that combining WW with Atkins was TOUGH, but not un-doable.... and it definitely got the weight off (combined with regular exercise, of course).
How exciting to have won a trip to Pasadena, Rose!
Nicely put!
Last night we ran the 5k course for the race I am doing on Memorial Day week-end. That is two weeks from Sunday so I have my motivation for the next couple of weeks. I need to sign up for another race in June or July to keep the momentum going. I am registered for two 10k in September and October so there is that training to look forward to also. I'm the kind of person who has to register for the next race before starting one or I'll park my butt on the couch for way too long.
Have a great day!
Congrats to your DD on her internships for the summer, Pamela!
It was a double-work day for me and I forgot about the mile entirely and hadn't put it in WRITING into my plan, so I didn't even THINK about it until Wedesday morning. If I had remembered it even LATE Tuesday I could have hopped on the TM, but it wasn't even in my brain. Oh well. I am NOT letting it derail my plan to do at least ONE MILE every day in May.... it was just a bump in the road, right??
It was so great! I admit, I was a little skeptical at first. There are 275 women self-sorting into four levels of the training program, which runs for 8 weeks. It culminates in an optional 5K (I'm out of town that weekend and can't do the race) and a celebration dinner at the end (not missing that!).
So we signed in and sat down in the gym bleachers. Each week starts with a different speaker, and tonight's was a woman who owns a local running/gear store. She was very knowledgeable, and I may have met my new best running bra friend in one of the samples she showed tonight.
Then we self-sorted into groups, and I kind of wondered how well this part would work. We headed out to the track to do a timed mile, which is designed to give us each a baseline and also make sure we're choosing the appropriate group (reassuring!). It had been raining lightly, but when we got outside, there were lightning strikes, so - back inside. Now the boys' basketball team is practicing in the gym, so we get a corner and one bleacher section for our group. We ran the stairs. We jumped the stairs. We did some strength stuff, including something called Matrix 24 that was really hard and will make my butt hurt a *lot* tomorrow but that I think I might want to do every day. We were sweaty and worn out by the end of the night, and next week, as long as there's no lightning, we start the running.
So now I know to grab a hat if it looks a little threatening but also that we'll get a good workout even if we have to come back inside. The only problem now is that I have the post-workout high, which means I'll be up too late.
