I'm married to my childhood sweetheart. We have two beautiful daughters and two amazing son-in-laws, and our first Grandchild is on the way. We are all crazy about the Disney magic.

Spent all day at the hospital yesterday with my Mom as she had yet another procedure done. Sitting all day with no exercise has made me feel stiff today. I will try to go on a run during my lunch break. I did fairly well on my eating....until late last night. :0( Then I ate some cheese and had a glass of wine. Grrr....it's that late night snack that I'm finding so hard to fight.
How is your mom? Why is evening time so hard to avoid snacking? - Mrs.mouse

We just got a call from the oncologist who wants to see her today. Heading out shortly to go with her, so should know more then. But I'm bracing myself because it hasn't been good news so far.
I did better with my snacking last night...finally! Just had a glass of Pellegrino with some lime (instead of the glass of wine I really wanted), and no snacks. WOOO HOOO! It's a start. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 11:17AM
With you again. I did great all day then after dinner sat there and started looking around for things to eat. Started with low-fat string cheese (not too bad) then moved on to a sugar-free fudgecicle (still not terrible) then hit the pecan pieces (should have stopped at the fudgecicle). Hope mom does better tomorrow...too bad our "late nights" are in different time zones. We could meet up on MW and talk ourselves out of eating! - msdizmaui

I like how your snacks aren't too bad. I kinda don't want to admit what my snacks are. - Mrs.mouse 420.7 #307 1:56AM
Not sure why, but the night time is the hardest. Oh well....we just keep trying, right? - D55CR 245.4 #1050 11:18AM
Tonight it was Oreos and most of a bag of the new Green Giant Sweet Potato Chips...my new obsession! - msdizmaui 518.9 #223 12:08AM
I've read the night snacking isn't bad, and you are suppose to eat a healthy snack before bed. It releases dopamine or something like that and helps you sleep better. I was encouraged to have a snack before bed when I was pregnant since I had gestational diabetes, but she said that everyone should have a healthy snack before bed. The hard part is choosing a healthy snack instead of cookies. Lol! - Fanatic4Disney 258.0 #925 3:49PM
Night time snacking plagues me!! You're right...we just keep trying. I'm sorry things are so hard with your mom. - vernswifevickie

I ran in honor of Boston today....2.5 miles. I am also wearing my Neverland 5K race t-shirt today. My heart is broken, but my spirit is not. The bad guys don't get to win.
I didn't run today as I'm still recovering from this cold. But I wore my Tink shirt in support of those affected in Boston. My heart is broken for them as well. - vernswifevickie

Good morning, All! Happy Thursday to you. I don't know about you, but I could use some inspiration this week. I keep starting my days off right, but end up stress snacking in the evenings. I know better....but at that point in the day I just don't care. Any suggestions?
I love to have sweets before bed. I found if I allow myself the correct portion vs not at all, I don't feel the need to shovel 10 Oreos in my face when I cave and buy sweets because I haven't had them in so long. Lol.
I stress eat too and it's difficult. Maybe have a bunch of pre-portioned healthy snacks ready to go in the fridge? I think I'm going to try that. - Fanatic4Disney

For me it's the salty foods I crave (and another glass of wine! haha). But planning ahead is a good idea. Thanks, - D55CR 245.4 #1050 3:25PM
I know! I have the same issue. I've found that 10-15 mins of stretching, yoga, or Pilates actually really helps--it curbs the need to snack and helps me manage my stress level and relax before bed. When all else fails, I brush and floss or use white strips, lol, because I don't like the taste of food after the mint flavor and I don't want to have to brush my teeth again! Also, I've been known to paint my nails because it distracts me and I have to wait for the polish to dry. Recently, my husband and I have been reading books aloud to each other in the evening, and that's a really nice distraction from zoning out in front of the TV with snacks: I can't eat because I have to read! Plus, it's just a really positive hobby for us to have :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar
436.2 #285 3:17PM
These are some great ideas. Just getting away from the TV will help. :0) I tend to want to veg out in front of the tube after a long, stressful day....but I know there are better and more constructive ways to handle my stress. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 3:27PM
These are great ideas! - vernswifevickie
348.6 #416 7:49PM
I have the same problem as you...night time snacking is my downfall every time (including, I'm sad to say, tonight!). I think I'll try the exercise idea - play a Jedi mind trick on myself...every time I get up to go to the kitchen, I'll make myself do knee bends or something instead. That, and QUIT buying the crap that I snack on!!! - msdizmaui
518.9 #223 1:13AM
The "stop buying" thing never worked for me. I end up craving it after a few days and scarffing down a bunch when my kids are at school. What worked for me was subsituting for something not as bad and having half a serving. Apple vines work good. - GoofyMom77 108.7 #2923 8:34PM

Ran a couple of miles this morning. Feels good to be getting back to it. Now, if I can just stop snacking at night....
Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!
What a great way to start the week. Happy Monday. - Mrs.mouse

I commented on this yesterday and it disappeared...oh well. I said, Good job on the run and I am right there with you on the snacking!!! I need to stop!! - vernswifevickie

When you learn the answer to how to stop snacking at night...please share! - msdizmaui

Why is it that my day goes so well until about 7:00? It's like I've used up all the willpower I had and give in. - Mrs.mouse 420.7 #307 12:56AM
Last night I managed to sip on a glass of white wine for the evening and didn't snack after dinner. It was hard (especially when my hubby sat there with chips and my favorite Dubliner cheese!), but I did it. Whew! One night down....many more to go. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 3:42PM

Good morning, Friends. So as you know I've been dealing with moving and my Mom's cancer diagnosis and haven't been doing well with my eating nor my exercising. I've gained about 3 lbs in the last couple of weeks. But today, I woke up and decided that this is the day I get my act together and take care of myself. So I'm going to eat healthy and hopefully take a short run later this afternoon.
More...
Yay!! It's always a good day to start fresh!! Here's to healthy Thursday!! - vernswifevickie
348.6 #416 12:40PM
Good for you! Have a good day! - Fanatic4Disney
258.0 #925 3:28PM
I'm proud of you during this hard time. How is your mom? Please let me know if there is anything you need. - Mrs.mouse
420.7 #307 7:21PM
Thanks for asking. It's not a good prognosis. The cancer is inoperable and incurable. We just wait for more tests now to see if it has spread elsewhere and if chemo will help prolong life. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 8:24AM
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through. Sending lots of hugs. - Mrs.mouse 420.7 #307 9:54PM
I'm so sorry about your mother. Good for you though for being able to still eat right and exercise, that is a big motivation for me. Thank you. - LisaMouse7531
409.1 #317 8:48AM
Thanks. I'm trying...seems like I do okay during the day, although in the evening my determination weakens. But I'm not going to give up. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 1:03PM

Life has been crazy around here. We are moving this weekend, so I've been packing like a mad dog. Plus my Mom is having more health issues and things are not looking so good. With all this going on, I haven't been running and we've been eating out more often. I've gained two pounds. I'll be glad when the move is over and I can start running again and cook in my own kitchen. Stress is definitely More...
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Stress can really mess with things. Hang in there, my friend! - Fanatic4Disney
258.0 #925 9:48AM
Thanks...I appreciate the support. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 10:35AM
It's so difficult to stay on plan when things are stressful. Just do the best you can and know that this too will pass. (((hugs))) - vernswifevickie
348.6 #416 10:05AM
Thanks...I know this is just a bump in the road. Be glad when I'm back on flat ground.
- D55CR 245.4 #1050 10:36AM
So sorry to hear about your mom. My life has been all about my mom's health issues since Oct. 2011 when she took a bad fall (on her head)! If you ever want to "talk", dm me and I'll give you my email address. I can certainly relate to what you're going through (and my eating and diet has definitely suffered through all of it!). Hang in there (and best wishes for Mom!). - msdizmaui
518.9 #223 1:10AM
Thanks, MsDizMaui. I appreciate the offer very much. The move is keeping me very busy today, but it sneaks up on me every so often and I stop to have a good cry. This is really hard on my Dad, too. I'm worried about how he is handling all of this. Last time she was in the hospital, he ended up passing out from all the stress. Luckily my brother lives very close and is a huge support. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 8:17AM
I'm here if you ever need to talk! I would love to say that it gets easier, but it really doesn't. I still have moments that I'm so sad that I can't function! It's just so awful that one instance can have such an effect on life. At least Mom's still with us...just not the same. Hang in there! - msdizmaui 518.9 #223 11:09PM
I'm so sorry you have to go through this all at once. If you need anything please let me know. You have been very supportive of me. Hugs to you. - Mrs.mouse

Yay! I finally lost the 5 lbs I gained from our recent trip to Disneyland. Now to keep the scale going in that same direction.
Good for you! Keep it up. Success feels great. Congrats. - Mrs.mouse

With the new version on my PC, I cannot figure out how to get to specific rooms in The Lounge (i.e., Disneyland RealTime, or Chub 33).
Place the cursor over the section that say the lounge then select. - vincentchase

Thanks. - D55CR
245.4 #1050 12:11PM
You must be using Internet Explorer. That would explain the problem. - vincentchase 642.0 #169 12:13PM
If you're using IE (Internet Explorer) I would recommend trying Google Chrome instead. I had to get rid of IE a few months ago because it wasn't bringing up a lot of the new updates to the web version. - KermitFan13 407.6 #321 12:25PM
Okay. That would be the problem. Thanks so much for your help. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 12:53PM

So, I didn't exactly stay on plan today. But how often does one get to lunch at Club 33?
I hope you enjoyed every bite. You look fantastic. The food looks amazing. - Mrs.mouse

516.8 #226 10:46PM
I am so curious because i see pics of club 33 cookies all the time... is it just basic shortbread, or are they some spectauclar tasting cookie? - madsdad
1124.7 #73 10:54PM
They are pretty good , but not as yummy as the rest. - D55CR 245.4 #1050 9:16AM
the club 33 cookies are so bland! they are not good. - nicoleface 1248.2 #65 12:37PM
I think they are lemon cookies. - JenInWonderland 1025.1 #86 2:33PM
