HEY HEY HEY! IT'S NOT-GONNA-BE FAAAAAAT NANCY!!!!!
QOTD, Wednesday June 29th: water. how do you get your water in each day? drink glasses throughout the day? fill a water bottle? drink it by a certain time?
I drink a cup of hot tea after my shower, and then at work I drink a giant 24oz. mug of tea throughout the day. I usually have water/tea to drink in the evening as well. I have virtually given up soda, so I guess by making it my only beverage, I'm drinking my water.
Disney QOTD, Wednesday June 29th: When was your last trip to Disney? (WDW, DL, DCL, AbD) When is your next trip?? tell us a little something about it!
My last trip was also the Princess! This was my first solo trip, and I had a great time. I did lots of hanging out with other WISHers, and was able to visit the attractions I never get to see because my menfolk aren't interested. My next trip will be for the Princess 2012, and I have set a goal with myself -- If I lose 20 lbs from when I started a new push a few weeks ago, I get to upgrade to a Mod instead of a Value. This is all about comfort, people. I was fine at All Star Sports, but I missed the fridge in the room, more comfy bedding and mattress, and being close to DTD...I'm hoping that's enough motivation to keep me moving
Off to read my brainless romance novel!.............................P
I'm with you on this one -- totally by accident I picked one up and started reading it, and realized it's centered around hockey, with tons of talk about the Vancouver Canucks. I thought that was pretty funny, it's been amusing me every since!
GOOOOODDD MORRRNING LOOOSERRSSS!!!! ZZZZzzzzzz
QOTD, Thursday June 30th: After dinner and before bed is a REALLY tough time for me. What do YOU do after dinner in order to stay on plan? Do you have a snack? What is it? A rule that you can't eat? A drink of water? How do you fight those little demons that say "eeeaaaatttt" when you're watching tv or doing whatever you do at night??
Well, my dinner comes about 3 hours before I go to bed, so that helps. What I've started doing is eating a more substantial dinner, so I'm just not hungry. I had a bad habit of hoarding points for "treats" at the end of the day, and then I would just keep eating and eating. If I fill up on veggies, protein, etc. and only have a small treat as a dessert, that seems to work better for me. I'd rather have 10 pts of treats, but I'm not doing myself any favors when I do that.
Disney QOTD, June 30th: What's that one thing that really makes you feel like you're at Disney? A ride? A special walk down Main Street? A treat?
Going through the front gates usually does it for me If I have a great check-in experience, it can happen there. After that I would have to say my first visit to the gift shop at my resort. Then I get my first look at new merchandise, Disney treats, toys, etc., and since you can't really get those things other places, it makes me feel like I'm really here. I don't necessarily have to go into a park or eat a special food, but of course those are awesome reinforcements of that first feeling of anticipation.
Buffy -- Sometimes I feel like I can't find the wagon with a GPS, and that's my clue to fake it until I make it. Force myself to do the things I know I need to in order to feel good. Move again, even if it's only a walk or only a short distance. Put the Pringles down and eat baby carrots. Once you get the moment going again, it will become easier and require less thought. While it does require more, make it a priority. I have faith in you!
Laura -- I don't like eggplant, but I think I might like that recipe, sound really good!
Kim -- Since you are a personal chef, you must not be intimidated by food ('cause I am ). I'm wondering, do you find yourself making most of your snacks, or going with something that's already put together? I ask this because I tend to be willing to go to the effort for a meal, but unless a snack is fruit or veggies, it seems like too much effort to come up with ingredients and "make" something.
Pamela -- You have a fantastic plan for the holiday weekend, I know you will do a great job!
BronxNancy -- The story about your camping partners is really frightening. I agree with Pamela but I'd take it one step further, I bet diabetes is already happening for that entire family. Here is my challenge to you -- rather than let them drag you down, be an example to lift them up. You can be very matter of fact about the point that you just aren't that hungry, and only want to eat whatever you have set aside for yourself, rather than the eatathon every meal apparently is for them. BronxBaby is not that hungry
Tracey -- Hang in there! I know it is so hard, hard to be there, and it will be even harder to leave.
snowangel -- Cheeseless pizza seems like a great idea! When we make homemade pizza we try to use very little cheese, now we have a new idea to try
Kathy -- I absolutely agree, a Disney trip really does help my outlook I'm almost to the point where I want to take a trip that doesn't involve a race, so I don't have an early to bed night and soreness the next day, but that would be really hard to justify since I am the only one in my family who wants to go I'm turning 45 in 2013, my fantasy plan is to do Coast to Coast that year. I don't know which races, but I'd love to be able to pull it off!
Dona -- I am so envious! BLT sounds like a wonderful experience. I know this will be a special trip for you, and you will enjoy every minute of the planning.
Deb -- I miss Santa's Village! I think I loved it more than ds! I find it really relaxing, and just a great time for the whole family. I hope you have a fantastic trip!
Trina -- Great job with the snacks at the movies! I know the next one I see will be HP, and it's going to be hard to be restrained in that festive atmosphere. I actually don't think the is very good there, so that's one item I can avoid. The buttery pretzel bites are yummy, last time I ignored their siren's call for POTC4 and had grapes I brought from home instead.
Everyone have a great day, and do make a plan for the holiday weekend. I know we can report on Tuesday we did well, if we make a plan and a pact that we will get through it together!
