Just made my final payment for our August trip to DL - $2295 for 5 nights at the Grand seems a little ridiculous even to me (and that's not including our new APs and airfare!). Muy expensiveoso! Thank goodness for tax refunds!
You'll have a great time. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 2:46PM
New APs! Yay! That'll be so much fun! We have stayed at the Grand twice. I love it sooooo much, but I'm not sure we will get to stay there for awhile. I need to win the lotto soon, lol. - Spoonful_O_Sugar

I'm in such a "funk". No other way to put it. I SOOO need a Disney fix!
I hear you. I feel the same way. Hugs. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 4:19PM
Right back at you! :) - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 5:30PM
Aw, sorry to hear! I was feeling that way for awhile, too. I'm always so jealous of the people who can just drop by the parks after work. It must really improve your quality of life! I usually just end up at Sephora or the Gap or something. Sometimes, I just have to settle for a Starbucks and InStyle magazine, lol. Not exactly the Disney magic I want after a bad day. Big hug to you! - Spoonful_O_Sugar
439.1 #288 6:08PM
And I'm jealous of not only people who can stop by the parks, but people who can stop by Sephora or Gap (there's a small Sephora on one side of the island, and a Gap on the other - neither of which is on my side!). I just go online and shop...I'm turning into a hermit! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 8:15PM
I understand--I lived on the Big Island for awhile (before they even had a Target in Kona, lol)! And now, my mall is an hour away from my house, and 20 minutes away from my work, so I definitely think twice about going there--it has to be a really miserable day! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 8:38PM
Awww.....we all have those days. My grandma used to say you have the "mullygrubs". (My grandma was infamous for making up her own words. haha) Hope you find some sunshine in your day. Put some Disney music on...maybe that will help. - D55CR
245.7 #1069 8:35AM
MULLYGRUBS!!!! I love that! It made me smile (which is I'm sure what your grandma had in mind). From now on, my "funk" is officially a case of the MULLYGRUBS! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 2:23PM
Ha! Love it! It can turn your day around just by saying "mullygrubs" out loud because its so silly! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 3:30PM
Your grandma was awesome. That's so funny. I love made up words like that. - Mrs.mouse 426.1 #304 9:43PM

Making my favorite casserole for my son and worried that I'll want to eat it all! The solution...use ground beef instead of turkey (I haven't eaten red meat for 20+ years!). Temptation gone! (I wish it was that easy with desserts and snacks!).
Brilliant idea! Let me know if you come with anything for the desserts and snacks. haha - D55CR
245.7 #1069 11:51AM
I'm thinking of putting ketchup on the Strawberry Newtons! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 8:17PM
haha! Great idea! - D55CR 245.7 #1069 8:33AM
Make food you don't like. Such a concept. Too bad there isn't a dessert I don't like. - Mrs.mouse

So I discovered the most interesting thing...when you don't cheat on a diet it actually WORKS! Finally started losing (3 lbs this week!)...no more cheating!!!
I'm glad to hear you had a successful week. 3 pounds is excellent. Way to go! - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 12:38AM
Yay!!! Good job. Funny thing how that works, huh? - vernswifevickie
374.1 #378 7:09AM
Wow! 3 lbs is a great loss. Congrats! - D55CR

NO MORE CHEATING!!! I only lost 1 lb this week. Jenny is too expensive to not be losing weight (lol). Got to stop sneaking the "extras" and start exercising more!

Mickey comes to the Maui News! Yay! So excited to read about this new show!

Operation "Knee Bends" has commenced. I tried to do 5 each time Pono stopped to sniff this morning and ended up doing a total of 80 (not that long of a walk...he gets tired in the morning when it's hot). Discovered lunges don't work - I was in the middle of one when Pono decided to move one...ended up on my butt!
*one = on - msdizmaui
521.5 #226 1:27PM
I'm sorry or your mishap, however it did make me giggle a bit. Anyway to get extra movement is great. Keep it up. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 2:25PM
Congrats on the extra exercise! Sorry you took a little tumble--glad you're ok! Yesterday I was jogging with my dog (downhill, going pretty fast), when he suddenly stopped to sniff a rock! I swear, it almost ripped my arm out of socket--he just stopped dead to sniff and then prove that he's the "Alpha" on the block, lol. - Spoonful_O_Sugar
439.1 #288 3:40PM
Mine does this all the time. It's like I'm in the zone thinking that I'm a cool jogging machine and then WHAM...he decides to stop! (and no question who's the Alpha with us...Dog Whisperer I'm not!). - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 1:07AM
Great idea! - Duchess73

It's 10:25pm HST and I'm starving! Time to do some knee bends and call it a night! (my plan to switch out the Jenny dessert for a "snack" of Kettle Corn sort of worked...but I'm still hungry!).
Ugh!! I hate those nights!! - vernswifevickie
374.1 #378 6:57AM
That's the worst. I hate those nights. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 8:32AM
That's when I try to suck down some more water. Doesn't always work though, sometimes I snag a granola bar. - GoofyMom77
251.6 #1020 2:23PM
That never works for me. - Mrs.mouse 426.1 #304 12:42AM
When someone makes water taste like ice cream and cookies...I'm in! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 1:08AM
The only thing that has helpedu nighttime snacking is that I spend my even his getting my baby to sleep and once she's asleep I'm too paranoid to make too much noise in the kitchen so I stay out lol! - LisaMouse7531

I found something that might work for night time snacking...5 pieces 20 calories (and aren't pickles technically a vegetable?)!
I love bread and butter pickles!! - vernswifevickie
374.1 #378 4:00PM
They look yummy. - Mrs.mouse

I just got a Jawbone Up (the company sent the managers all a demo one for free!), Does anyone else have one? I've been using the UP app with it, but know that it syncs to others. Anyone have any suggestions?
(Googles Jawbone Up), I know nothing about it, but it looks really cool. I hope you like it. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 8:15AM
How do you like it? I've been wanting something that helps me track actual calories burned when I workout but everything I like had monthly fees :( - ElectricMayhemMom
320.3 #537 9:48AM
It's pretty cool so far. The walking part seems pretty accurate, especially since you really never take it off - even when you shower - so it's tracking EVERY step you take (I've been averaging about 12,000 per day). Entering food is easy - I can actually scan all my Jenny Craig stuff, and enter (by searching in the categories) everything else. I thought the sleep tracker part would freak me out, but oddly enough, I find it fascinating to see how I slept! I'm just using the Up app, but I think on my day off, I'll experiment with some of the other apps (My Fitness Pal, Lose It). All in all, I do like it! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 1:47AM
That sounds a lot like my FitBit. Isn't it motivating? Glad you like it. - vernswifevickie 374.1 #378 4:54AM

Came home from work and made my favorite (low-cal) cole slaw recipe and thought that I'd share. I'm not sure where I got the recipe - South Beach, Atkins, who knows...but it's easy, low-cal/low-fat and delicious! Hope y'all like it (sorry...don't know the points)! 1 med head cabbage (1-1/2lbs) shredded or thinkly sliced; 3/4 c. low fat mayo; 1/2 c. low-fat sour cream; 2T. cider vinegar; 2 pks. More...
Sounds good! Thank you!! - vernswifevickie
374.1 #378 6:29AM
Hmmm...I'm not a cole slaw fan, but my husband is--I think I'll make this for him. Thanks for posting! - Spoonful_O_Sugar
439.1 #288 9:25AM
Sounds delicious! I can't wait to try this. - PirateQueenBriezy

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all my Chub33 friends! I had to work today (got to celebrate yesterday with my sons). Blew it yesterday and vowed to get back on track today and did...until my son brought me home a McDonalds Hot Fudge Sundae! Oh well...tomorrow is another day...
Happy Mother's Day to you too! I also blew it big time this weekend. Having a hard time getting things together this week. - Mrs.mouse

Had a epiphany today...it's my birthday and I thought of the whole "reborn" thing and how New Year's Eve is the start of a new year, but this is the start of MY new year. I'm going to be positive and not sad and not dwell on evil people and LOSE THIS 30 LBS! (starting tomorrow...tonight I'm eating turkey burgers and onion rings and BD cake and bitching about everything one last time.. More...
Happy birthday! And i'm so happy that you are committed to this goal :) you can do it! - Madi
204.1 #1615 8:54PM
Thx! I know that I've had "epiphanies" before and y'all must get tired of hearing me say it, but the part I forgot to say was that I saw a pic of myself and my son taken last night and said OMG...who's that fat, old lady next to my son?? Time to get serious, and a birthday is a good time to start over! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 10:46PM
it doesn't matter how many times you have an epiphany, just as long as you make the commitment to start and learn along the way :) You are fabulous! - Madi 204.1 #1615 8:53PM
I hope you enjoyed your birthday. Maybe keep that picture handy to motivate yourself in the future. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 4:02AM
A late happy birthday to you! - Plumiegirl

Thanks ladies! I've actually done really well this week! Feels very "committed" (and I've learned that it's harder to give up bitching than food...lol!). - msdizmaui

Question for AP'ers. What is the discount for the DLR hotels, and do you get the dining discount at the hotel outlets? I'm planning the annual vaca, and it seems that the price for the Grand (no disc) + Deluxe APs is about the same as booking the Package w/5-day Park Hoppers. Soooo it seems like it would be smart to go with the AP option so we'd get the other benefits. Make sense?
The discount for the hotels vary by day & hotel they range from 10-30%. I had my hotel booked with Ap discount & they came out with a new offer that gave free character dining & an extra discount, so my room dropped an extra $200 plus the free dining worth about $140. So just on this 1 trip I saved somewhere around $500. - UTDISNEYFAMILY
228.3 #1294 9:22PM
Awesome! Thank you sooo much! It definitely seems as though I should but the APs! - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 12:44AM
AP's are always a good idea. - Mrs.mouse
426.1 #304 2:07PM
Did you get yours? If no one answers me, maybe you could check the hotel disc when you get home (you can't go to the page on the web site unless you actually have the AP, and the online chat lady wouldn't give me any info!). - msdizmaui 521.5 #226 2:17PM
I did get an ap (deluxe). if you get me the dates ill check prices for you. No problem. - Mrs.mouse 426.1 #304 3:00PM
