Hi Lisa I just popped over from team donald to say congratulations on being in onedelandThats absolutely fab You must feel soooooo good right now
CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so awesome!!For the first time in over 20 years, I am happy to report I am now officially in
ONE-DERLAND!
Since October 23, 2011
3,105 fitness minutes
17 pounds lost
Dropped 2 pant sizes (Size 24 - Size 20)
In 21 weeks I've averaged a pound a week. Sparkpeople has taught me many things such as portion control, tracking food, different exercies, etc. In previous years I'd be highly upset that I'm losing weight so slowly. However, I'm noticing that even though its coming off slowly its staying off.
I sat down last night and started reading my blogs from last October until now. In these short 21 weeks I've made awesome progress. I started off working out 15 minutes and over time increased to an hour. I can get on the treadmill and walk consistantly for an hour.
PROGRESS IS AWESOME!
Good morning TEAM MICKEY!
Today is an exciting day!

I'm calling myself caught up from this point but wanted to be sure and share my exciting news!
Have a great day Mickeys!
Lisa congrats on making it to One-derland!!
Good Morning Mickeys!!! Happy Friday to you all!
You know, the weekend is the hardest time for me to stay OP. I do get my workouts in on Saturday morning, but then it is downhill from there.
Tomorrow I have my cousin's 1 year old baby birthday party to go to and it cuts into my gym time. So, instead, I am going to get up a tad earlier and do some time with Wii Fit, Just Dance and maybe some treadmill time if I have the time...
Good luck this weekend!!

Popping in from Team Donald to say WOOOOHOOO and a huge CONGRATULATIONS ! That is an amazing accomplishment! I'll bet you can't stop smiling!
Now.....spend a minute mentally "bottling" that feeling. Then you will have it handy to pull out when you are struggling to make the smart choices....when you are in a self-sabotage mood. Remember that amazing feeling of accomplishment and how very worth it you are!
I'm proud of you! ............P
Hi mickeys!
Lisa--super congratulations!! Way to go. I am so happy and proud for you!
We made it to Seattle a okay. The train was stuck on the tracks for an hour because a train in front of us someplace was having troubles. But the delay was fine for us. Catching a bus from the train station to the hotel was a bit of a rainy adventure but our room was ready when we arrived. We got registered and had some time for site seeing before the introductory meeting and ds2s first rehearsal. We had seen pike place market before but the other family from our church hadn't so it was fun to see things through their eyes.
Right now I am chaperoning a rehearsal. I signed up for 1.5 hours this morning and tomorrow morning. The kids's voices are incredible! I can't wait for the performance Sunday ! My plan is to go to the fitness room after this. Hopefully it will have cleared out by then! Eating will just be willy billy this wekend. Our room has no fridge so that is limiting. We did find a supermarket within walking distance so last night bought some bananas and other stuff. Plus I brought food so we have munchies. Gotta love almonds! Internet in the room costs $11, but this rehearsal room has it free! Hope to find other places within the hotel that are free, too!
Last night dh went to basketball awards And both ds earned most inspirational player awards for their teams. . Ds1s team won their first baseball game earlier in the week. Ds2s games have all been rained out. He is a bit disappointed that he will probably miss the team's first game. But if the crummy weather continues that won't be a problem!
Only 20 more minutes left of my shift and I can go workout! Hope everybody has a super op weekend. Send in those weights!
Sorry, I haven't been on the in last few days. I've had some emotional ups and downs. I'm trying to get a photobook put together for my step daughter's birthday next month. Its been rough because I'm seeing pictures of my late husband that I haven't seen in quite some time. I had misplaced my photo albums and had been looking for them for over a year. Alan found them about a month ago when he was going through Rubbermaid bins in the garage. I'm hoping to get the rest of the pictures scanned into my computer tomorrow and have it completed and ordered through Shutterfly by the end of the weekend. I'm planning on making one for my in-laws of pictures of Maddie, they don't have many considering they'd only seen her twice in her short life.
However to end the post on a happy note my latest blog from Sparkpeople:
Well it's been one hell of a night here in the Blink house, hence the 3:30 am postings.
DS11 fractured his elbow while I was comatosed Thursday, and they all neglected to tell me DS was hurt until Friday afternoon his elbow was the size of a baseball and he couldn't bend it. So off to the ER we went after DH got home (drove from DC with a 101.1 fever).
Then as things finally settle down and I get DH cool enough to sleep, there was the now infamous cough from the other room. DS10 almost made it to the bathroom before getting sick but unfortunately he got the entire hallway carpet. I got that cleaned up and DS back in bed but I'm going to have to rip the carpet up tomorrow. I have no choice. Hopefully DH will be well enough in the morning to get to Home Depot and see if they have any remnant available.
So what next world?? Bring it on!!
Oh and the treadmill has been beckoning me every time I walk past to do the 8000 loads of laundry yesterday, but I'm just not feeling up to running.
Any ideas on how long I should wait? I still don't feel all that great but it could just be from cleaning up DS's mess. The biggest thing right now is my head and back are still hurting from being sick. I can't get to the chiro until at least Monday, if everyone is healthy.
HELP!!!!! I just can't lose any weight! I have been doing the elliptical religiously and adding in some other workouts. I've been drinking lots of water but the scale won't budge! I may be gaining muscle as I'm just getting back into things. Trying not to get frustrated! I have not done very well today, not horrible but I had some chips and dip with lunch.
While I was out doing an Usborne event in which I sold ONE book, Brian and the girls made me two Irish cream cheesecakes! They used light sour cream and light cream cheese but it also had sugar and of course the Irish cream. We each had a piece with light whipped cream on top. I am probably going to only eat a little epplant rollup for supper tonight. I am not having any adult drinks until next weekend! I instead had a maragarita flavored glass of Crystal light. It's pretty good even with out the tequila! I need to get back on the elliptical in a little while.
Ash just put in the Disneyland Kinect Adventures game and Izzie is at our local 100th Girl Scout birthday party until 6. I did a run to the dump when I dropped her off and then we put some stuff in the attic!
I need to do well this week as I will be putting on a bathing suit and spending some time in a hot tub next weekend! I need to save up calories for the weekend.
I got up at 8 and with in 20 minutes I had a cold cut calzone and Brian's corned beef, potatoes, carrots and onions made and cooking. We had the calzone for lunch and he will have the corned beef for supper!
TTFN
Molli, glad to see your post, and the upbeat tone! Sending lots of hugs and pixie dust for a speedy recovery. Take care! (and hugs to your mom, too)i'm alive! i'm alive!
this will be short, i tried to scroll through but really couldn't focus....but i know you are all doing FABULOUS
in short, pituitary gland surgery #2 was somewhat smoother than the first, the first week was difficult but not the same intensity. today is a good day
the surgeon reported he did some more housecleaning and i have 40% of my gland left, so far my function is intact. though any thyroid disruption won't be known for couple months. i'm on replacement steroids, sigh...a necessary evil
i took my own pillow in my character signed pillowcase from DCL, in yellow my favorite color...b/c it makes me happy ....got several comments from staff on it...lol....one person asked me if i signed it myself...oh the disney naivete
i'm alive! i'm alive!
