Oh and I almost forgot - 62 days!!!

Wow, that would be awesome to hit 18-19 lbs! I hope you reach your goal! I can't wait to just hit 10, LOL. It will come but since I'm starting over it's going to take a little longer. I'm hoping to hit 10 before our vacation. Wish me luck....

We haven't been to the pool yet since we've gotten back. Maybe tomorrow. If it doesn't rain. My gf reminded me about school supplies! I forgot about them. Man, I hate the 1st part of the school year it's spend, spend, spend! Between supplies and all the stuff they're selling or asking for from school. Thankfully neither of the kids really need a bunch of new clothes. Sean will need new sneakers though. I bought some for Tristan a while back in a size larger when I had a coupon at Famous Footwear, so he's set. how about you, does Lindsey need a lot of stuff?

Hola!! We are finally home. I'm glad I didn't tell you I'd be at this past meeting because we got bumped from our flight and didn't get in until yesterday. Another adventure for us, how else can you take it, right?

Like I said, I'm starting over again. I'm on track and started counting my points again today. Of course I woke up to my first day home with a headache and my period and a day that includes laundry and grocery shopping! Yay, I'm so glad to be home?? But the kids and I were really happy to finally get home!

How has your week gone?

HI THERE! Glad you are having fun because that is what it is all about! I've been busy with the treadmill and am hoping it makes a big difference...I'll find out tomorrow night I guess LOL I just started it Saturday morning but hopefully it's jump starting everything..

work is crazy but what else is new...I'm just so ready for Disney I could scream (lol) so it needs to hurry up...only about 69 days to go - woohoo! and we definitely need to figure out another meal together but we have tons of time to ponder that...

keep having a blast..you'll GET BACK ON TRACK when you get back! LOL

Howdy! We are still in NJ I just wanted to say Hello and tell you I've seen your posts about walking on the treadmill - awesome!! I will be starting over when I get home, LOL! I'm not going crazy but I'm not as "on track" as I hoped I would be. But it's ok, no beating myself up, we're having fun. I'm drinking water and eating fruit but with the added pizza, subs, and goodies soooo I'll be back at square one. We fly in Tue. but I won't be able to make that meeting yet. That will give me a chance to get back on track! Hope you're having a great week!!

Just a shout out to say "Hi!" and I hope everything is okay on your end. It's been a couple of days since you've been on and I wanted to check on you. I'm hoping it's because you're busy and nothing else.

I've been doing pretty well lately with my points and we've been going to the pool every other day. I've also been exercising while we're at the pool.

I wanted to let you know that I'll be missing the next two WW meetings since we'll be in NJ. I'm planning on relaxing but trying to maintian while we're there. I haven't lost enough weight yet to not worry about gaining a few pounds back.

I should be able to check WDWmagic a few times while we're in NJ on my dad's computer, so if you send me a message I'll get it.

Anyway, hope everything is okay!!

I had a much better day yesterday. I stayed "on track" and only used 1 allowance point. I went to Publix and bought a bunch of fruit and that helped when I wanted a snack. And so far the same with today.

LOL, I don't think there is such a thing as a "non tiring Disney trip"!! I do usually start walking before we go though because I don't want to feel like I'm melting AND dying at the same time. My goal is to not dread having my photo taken and looking halfway decent in the pictures I do get taken. And to get cute clothes!

We are now under the 80 day mark! Yay!!

Very happy to hear she is coming around! So she is finally seeing what a tool he really is, huh? Good for her, he wasn't worth her time.

Now I need a pep talk. I was so hungry when I got home - I started off good. Big salad w/ 2 tbsp. dressing. It quickly went off course from there - 2 slices of frozen cheese pizza, a brownie and 3 chocolate chip cookies!! Now you see why I need WW! Dang it! I did better this morning, 1 c. grits w/ a tsp. of butter and a diet soda (my coffee). I do need to get more fruits and salad from the store. I think we are probably going to be picking up stuff like that a lot more frequently.

....sigh..... In the words of Chicken Little (love that movie! lol) "Today is a new day...."

[COLOR="Purpl[COLOR="Purple"]Don't know if you'll get this before tonight but, I'll definitely be there! I'm a bit worried about my weigh in but gotta take the consequences and move on, right? LOL....

Middle school with Tristan has been a real treat. I've heard the "attitude" improves in HS. But he's on such an emotional roller coaster, I can say one little tiny thing and his mood can go from fine to giant a=hole! I know that's not nice but it's so true. And with Lindsey - throwing "falling in love" into the mix and you've got a huge mess inside her head. I do believe counseling will help. Just keep going, even if she doesn't seem like she's opening up, she will. Sometimes it's easier to tell someone you don't know (like a counselor) things you can't tell the people you love. You're afraid of what they'll say or what they'll think and MS is a horrible age. You'll get her back and with counseling I think it will be sooner than later.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Yeah, we'll have to do better this next week. I'll have some challenging times ahead of me - we're going to the Braves game on July 4th and since we got the family pkg. we'll all get a hot dog and that won't be so bad but then on the 5th the kids and I fly to NJ for our vacation to visit my dad and friends. That's going to truly challenge me. Pizza, subs (oh how I love the subs!), caramel popcorn from a place on the boardwalk. But, I have been thinking of strategies already - 1 slice of pizza. only half the sub. Hopefully I don't completely blow it for real.[/

How awful for Lindsey! To have her heart broken at such a young age, it's terrible. But she better learn now - there are waaaay more frogs than princes out there. Are there any actual princes anyway? I hope the counseling helps. As for you - just stay the course - I know she'll get over it in time and maybe she'll see you were right and that YOU stood by her all along and tried and wanted to help her when he just dumped her when the going got a little tough. Dumb boys - you can't live with 'em and you can't shoot 'em!!

Oh man, I woke up this morning about 3:30 am and was wide awake! So I got up and was reading a book I started months and months ago. I don't know what time I went back to bed, though, cause I try to never look at the clock if I get up in the middle of the night or super early. Since I've had troubles sleeping in the past I have read a bunch of stuff on sleeping and one thing is if you wake up do not look at the clock because it can cause you anxiety the longer it takes to go to sleep or stay awake. I'm feeling tired right now! LOL.....

Well, I think I blew my week out - we went to lunch today to Five Guys today for burgers! I counted my points and used them all up for today including some allowance pts. So whatever I eat for dinner will all be allowance pts. I don't think I'll have lost any weight. Oh well, hopefully the week will be better for me, lol.

We did go to the pool for an hour and a half and I did exercise while there so maybe that helped. Lee went with us for the first time in years and I think he enjoyed it. He always enjoys going to the pool, too, when we are at WDW.

I've gotten headaches later on in the day yesterday and today. I hope this trend doesn't continue.

Have you used up all your allowance pts? Either way, don't be too mad with yourself. Emotional eating is the hardest to get control of. This I know first hand. And you are going thru an exceptionally difficult time right now, so instead of beating yourself up, just realize we are fallible, fallible humans and just try to get back on track. What good is feeling bad? Accomplishes nothing, so move on and just realize - it was worth it. And it's okay, hang in there!

You're getting a smaller area to work in? Why? Are they hiring more people? Cubette, funny though!

I ended up having only fruit for dinner but it was so tasty that I loved it! Canteloupe, blueberries and a banana. The melon was very good, for a change. Most of it was sweet which made it perfect. It was totally worth it!

Does your boss suffer from vertigo? My mom had that several years ago and said it was horrible. I hope he's okay.

We are heading to the pool for a couple of hours. The kids are not excited that I'm getting their hair cut today. Especially Tristan, he's getting a major makeover. He refuses to brush his hair! So, I'm getting all but the top chopped off. I may get the same type for Sean, too. Haven't decided yet.

Lee is making our flight reservations for July. I don't like to fly too early since we have to get to the airport so far ahead of time.

We are doing the Water Park Option and More on this trip. It includes the 2 water parks (we're just going to Typhoon Lagoon, though), Disney Quest and golf for the guys. We did Blizzard Beach in '07 and in '09 Lee went golfing and I took the kids to Disney Quest and when I realized (duh!) that all these were included it just made sense to get the whole package. Lee and I did Typhoon Lagoon on our honeymoon! So, I'm looking forward to going back. I wish Lee was going, too, but that's his solo day of golf, he said he didn't really care to go to the water park.

I had chinese food today! I have been craving it now for weeks. It was soooo goooood! I didn't eat it all, I ate about a cup of rice and 6-8 pieces of honey chicken (my favorite!). Now I did have to count the 2 egg rolls I ate! 12 pts. for those bad boys! So, I've used up all my pts. for today along w/ 6 allowance pts. Looks like a salad for me for dinner, LOL. But it was totally worth it! :slurp:

Yeah, I knew about the "revote" before. I didn't bother with it because I knew no matter what happened it wasn't going to affect us. But I have to tell you - it still completely ed me off that they voted in the first place. I swear they were doing it to placate the angry parents, teachers, etc. I'm not amused. And again I'll ask - Why? Well, before I read the paper and saw that now the vote was 5-1, some people DID change their vote. Thanks CCSB. Now you can go screw yourselves. (Pardon my french!):fork:

Lee hasn't given up yet. He's doing pretty well, actually. I think he's adjusted a bit more though. I think in the beginning it was difficult because he went from eating 3 chili cheese dogs with baked or pork n' beans to a hot dog on a piece of bread with 10 chips. But he's doing a lot better now. :sohappy:

Well, Lee is already struggling. I mean he seems to still be doing the points but made the comment that he didn't know how long he would continue. I'm hoping that if he loses weight after the first week that will really encourage him to continue like it did for me.

I made homemade mac and cheese last night! Oh, it was sooooo good. I did use a combo of skim milk and fat free half and half, too. But real butter so I'm hoping that helped. I stuck to measuring though and didn't go over and was still within my points for the day.

We are so out of food it's ridiculous! Lee doesn't get paid until tomorrow but I'm going to Publix to get their BOGO. I'll just write a check.

I'm adding Disney Quest to our schedule on the day we arrive. Not sure how late they'll be open so we may not make it after eating at Teppan Edo at 8 pm. I'll check out the hours.

That's what I suggested to Lee about the sandwiches too, having lettuce, tomato and onion piled up on it to make it more filling. And Lee weighed himself and he'll do it again next week. His biggest downfall - beer. The one thing that saves him is the allowance points.

I think I'll definitely get the starter book set next week (gotta wait till Lee gets paid again). The pocket size book doesn't have everything listed and sometimes I don't get a chance to look something up online. Did you get the book or the set?
