WORKING OUT FOR DISNEY

Excuse my memory Boomer..Where are you staying again..?

That's ok! Happens to the best of us! Port Orleans Riverside!! Going to pick me up some of those magic cookie bars for you!!

Have a blast, boomer! And indulge for the rest of us on this thread who are trying not to til we get to that happiest of places

I've been watching my calories and just eating healthier things in general, and I'm officially down 10 lbs in the last 6 weeks! I'm hoping to drop another 10 in the next 8 weeks before our trip

Thanks Katie!! I will definitely pig out!!
Congrats on the weight loss!! That is great!!

Whoo Hoo...Don't forget to toss your dime into the Sassagoula from the magic bridge..Close your eyes..Make a wish..Make sure your looking down river towards downtown...You do remember my story about the couple wanting to start a family and their wish came true..Doesn't have to be babies by the way..LOL...

You can do it! Keep up the good work!

Good morning! Still eating clean and green and enjoying my new blender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying new smoothie combos is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!! Broccoli, spinich, cucumber, grapes and berries was soooooooo good! 5 indoor miles done and I can't wait for spring to get outside and walk. Miss all of you!!!!!!!! xoxoxo

We'll my diet is going great..eating more veg...grilling more meals on my Teppanyaki..Drinking less beer..So I feel really good,however, at this moment our weather is pretty poor..Maybe getting two 3 mile walks a week..So my exercise isn't as good as I had hoped for...Here's hoping that when the clocks go forward in two weeks...Summer kicks in..

Congrats on your better diet. BTW we already changed our clocks on this side of the pond and it's not getting any warmer. It takes me 15 minutes just to put on all the layers I need to get out and walk. Where is spring?

Just around the globe..Due to our planet revolving in a clockwise direction we get the sun before you..I'll let you know when I see it smiling Figgy..

Good morning 5 indoor miles done and I'm hoping the sun comes out and it warms a bit so I can get out before all heck breaks out tomorrow. I have classes then the inlaws and my new stove arrive tomorrow afternoon! Eating clean and green and really missing Boomer and Yogini! Keep Disney dreaming!

I've never been swept although I did finish the 10-Miler with a 17 min pace. You won't get swept on the 5Ks if you are even close to the 16 min pace. On the longer races, you won't get swept once you are in the park for the final stretch if you are close to the 16 min pace. There are people that somehow get in a corral that is for faster runners than they are so that they start sooner than the last corral. This allows them to have a little padding on their time to avoid the sweeper. I am not a fan of this, but I understand it.

Good morning all my friends!! I missed you so much!!! Just wanted to let you know we got back safely. We had a wonderful time! Give me a couple of days to catch up, and I will try to do a post-trip report with pictures.
I need to do laundry and get back to normal. Trying to acclimate to this weather! We are 40 degrees cooler than Florida was:( not happy and now I am sneezing. So hope this is just allergies!
Hope you all are doing well!

Welcome home Boomer..Look forward to reading your adventure...

Thanks King Fergus!! I have definitely been trying to adjust back to "normal" over here. It has been hard. Used to wonderful 80 degrees at the World, and back here in the 30s!! Anyways, started my TR. Pictures will be attached when I have time to download. Check it out--March Madness 2014 Trip in the trip reports forum.

Will do...It's still wet and cold here,but it's too get warmer..Thankfully...

Welcome home Boomer I hope you had a magical time. It's Friday, raining and 35 so no outside walking yet again. Spring had better come soon or I'm going to buy a gun and get that mean old groundhog! At least I haven't gained any weight over the long COLD winter! JM's no more trouble zones to start my day and interval and stretch classes later. A lovely kale, cucumber, ginger and lemon smoothie to start my day, packing salad with beans and almonds for lunch and for dinner I'll be having leftovers. Have a magical weekend and keep on dancing.

i think all I can do is tape my mouth shut!

I've bought myself a treadmill and try and walk at least 3km a day. (I want to get to 5Km a day but that will take time)

I have about 30lbs to lose before my trip in October and so far it's not working - In fact I seem to be gaining weight.

I'm praying that the upcoming summer months will promote me mowing the lawn and fixing up the garden a bit...
I also keep considering putting up a basketball hoop so that i can jump about a bit.

I don't know what else to do - I work full time and have 2 kids under 6 which i don't get much time with during the week.

So I think I could be right with the duct tape idea....

Anyone got any ideas (on a way to lose weight not which brand of tape to use)

I think that would work best for me too! But really I think I've read that loosing weight is 20% exercise and 80% diet, so really just eating healthy foods and watching your calories will be the most effective way... I has been in my experience at least

Agree Katie..I'am not into jogging unless I'am getting chased by dogs..I like a brisk walk ( approx 3 mile ) but I've cut back on beer..substituted by wine...Eating more veg...Smaller portions...Using my Teppanyaki grill twice a week..It's a slow process for me but it's working...I need to start eating fruit..

Only at WDW..

Good afternoon all! Agree about the lapu lapu's, King! Lots of things don't have calories at WDW. Unfortunately, I did partake of a whole lot of non-caloric foods! LOL
My biggest thing that I need to cut back on are sweets! I have always had a sweet tooth. I really have to keep account of how much I eat during the day since I stay at home. So, the best thing for me is not to buy any or at least get something out that I don't bring into the house!
Today is raining so walking will have to be inside. Also, today is weights day. I am so happy that my shoulder is 100% after all the PT and there is no pain or stiffness. I guess I will find out how good it is when I start painting the kitchen in a few weeks!
Everyone have a safe, happy weekend!! Keep active and think happy thoughts for tomorrow is another day!!

Whoa!...Sunday...5.30pm...The heat is on..3mile walk on Saturday..2 mile walk today..16 degrees....Homemade Cajun meatloaf and creamed mash for dinner...Lost another 1lb...Keep dancing people..keep safe...

Whew! That wind out there is awful! We are having wind gusts over 50 mph. DH has been working since 6 am. We have a lot of limbs down. No walking outside for me, King Fergus!! I might blow over to your house! LOL

It's a long way Boomer..But if I see you passing overhead..I'll pull you down..LOL..

Wednesday morning..The sun is out, but my right foot is killing me..Looks like my gout is back..Sounds like a terrible disease does that word...Do I'am gonna change it to Footcramp...Anyway, no exercise for me, but I've lost another 1 lb this week..Slow process but at least in the right direction..Keep safe people,eat healthy,and keep on moving..
