    :smile: Ok....so I am here, but a bit crazed....we have had company just about EVERY day since school has been out....so much for exercise and eating healthy.

    Anyway, today I am without a car and company, so after cleaning and some paperwork, I'm going in the pool for a swim. Ahhhh, it's already 12...I'd better get going...

    I'm so proud of you all...keep up the great work!!:flowerforyou:

    :heart: love to you all!!!! Happy summer!!!!

    Margie:bigsmile:

    Mary,
    Have a wonderful time in Disney...try to wear your pedometer, you will be surprised how many steps you will walk!
    Remember to keep your eye on the prize, eat alot of fruits, salads, vegetables. Stay away from sugars, pasts and breads. With that being said.....treat yourself 2-3x to something you really want to eat, just try to plan for it. The rest of the day eat light, or plan to eat lighter the next day. Also if possible try to use a the exercise bands and do some strength training.
    Most important.....HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FAMILY!!!!

    :smile: DISNEY....my favorite place in the entire world!!!! You will have a wonderful time. It's going to be HOT, so drink water, water, water!!! Don't miss the stunt driver show at Disney Studios. It's great and the kids will love it!!!


    We ususally stay at a Disney hotel. If you do, this is how we get the most in with the children. We grab a quick breakfast at the cafeteria, then right into the park. Usually the one that was open late the night before because it's empty. Around lunch and the hotttest time of the day, we head back to the hotel and swim. Then freshen up and back to the parks around dinner. Hit all the rides while people are at dinner.

    If you are at the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks, stand on the bridge that leads to Tomorrowland. Tinkerbell will come out of one of the castle towers and fly right over head. She's a real person and it is soooooo cool. She goes from the top of the castle to behind Tomorowland!

    Like Eileen says, where your pedometer! You WILL walk A LOT!!!!!!

    Have fun!!!!
    Margie

    Have fun Mary!
    Don'r worry...you will do great.....just be "mindful" of what you are eating, and "treat yourself" so you don't feel like you are missing out!

    Hey Marge...how are things going with you?
    What are you up to???

    Hey -- It's Karen --- i just signed on for the first time. Mary - Thanks for getting this going. I feel like it has been months since we have been in school. Walking everywhere - especially in Southampton and with my puppy at home... a great stress reliever. Speaking of stress, Sara -almost 14 -- decided to have a boyfriend and become a "skater girl "all in one week. I had hoped I wouldn't get into this stuff until Eliana went to college. Oh well! The stress has not effected my eating.
    Back to me--- Today is my first day at the gym since school has ended. Walking is not enough. Eating well is not enough. Also, when I am at home I realize I don't drink as much water as when I am at school. I am getting on the scale today. I should have been doing it every Wednesday. I don't think I lost or gained. Sounds like everyone is having a good summer. Enjoy your time. TTYL

    Hi Karen,
    Great to hear from you!
    You know Sara will always keep you on your toes...that is her JOB!!!
    Back to you.... I am proud of you for getting refocused and realizing you need to do more!
    Summer is the best time to try something new to rev your metabolism. Try playing tennis with the kids, go for a swim, kayaking or.....get to the gym and do strength traing 3x/week, just don't forget you need the cardio too!
    Stay in touch, let us know how you are doing!

    Mary,
    So good to hear that you are enjoying Disney...sorry to hear about your sister though!
    Hope all is well with her!
    That is wonderful that you continue to work out while you are in Disney and that you have the most stamina!
    It is all about quality of life and feeling good to do the things that make you happy! I looks like you are "walking " down that road of happiness and well being! I am soooo proud of you!!

    All is well with me. I was away for a few days to visit my sister in Massachusetts and see my niece's new baby boy...he is adorable! Working out, having fun kayaaking, biking and swimming and just enjoying the time with my family!

    Hi All,

    Sorry I haven't been in touch in a while. I ahve been really busy with work and I was recuited by my Pastor to help paint classrooms in the school, so as all of you are aware, that thing called Catholic Guilt, I couldn't say no. The painting lasted a full week and now that we are finished, it's back to walking each mornning and hopefully biking. I am doing ok , weight wise, lost a little so far.

But I am going food shopping today and are going to get bakc to eating right for lunch There's no food for breakfast agh!

    Hi Everyone,
    Glad to hear Mary and Marge made it back from vacation and pat has rejoined us!
    Mary....proud of you for exercising and walking so much, now get back to eating 5-6x/day, especially breakfast!
    Pat....you are such a good catholic girl! Happy to hear you are back in your routine and walking.
    Marge, how is your diet and exercise routine going now that you are back from vacation??
    Yoga is awesome for flexibility and strength(I did some today at the Y), but you need to do some cardio to drop the lbs. Swimming in your nice pool, walking, biking are great...try to keep yourself moving for 45 minutes!
    All is well with me, going back to the ymca for a swim tonight. Plan to be around Sea Cliff tomorrow to meet with the new principal, Adam.

    Mary,
    I saw that...Prevention is an awesome magazine. I just got a subscription, and will look into the dvd's.
    My new favorite thing is GOWEARFIT management system. It is an armband tracking device similar to what they wear on Biggest Loser. It tracks your movements throughout the day and night such as exercise, steps (like a pedometer) and sleep efficiency. It has an online program that you use to track your food consumption and it tracks your calories burned throughout the day against calories taken in.
    I love it because of all the visuals and it is very acurate on how much I move or work out during the day and calories burned. Ultimately that is what it is about....calories you take in and calories you burn!!
    Anyway..it is a little expensive but a great tool for me!
    Eileen
