You just lost 80 pounds! What are you Going to do next? Ending TR

Goodness! What a disappointing meal at BoG. Sadly, we've not had a great meal in the three times we've been there for dinner. I finally tried lunch this last trip and loved it - other than a minor issue with room temp fries which they corrected right away.

Brenda!! My sweet friend. :hug: I miss you like crazy, girl! :) Can't wait to catch up soon.

I am right there with you on the fries, I sent them back every single time we went there, I realized after our third time eating there for lunch that was going to always be the case. :rolleyes: Oh well, it's easy enough to take care of and they did, ever single time.



I agree with your observation, I think they overwhelm the kitchen with the volume of food to be served for too many guests that they end up not paying attention to quality.

::yes:: I think that explains the one room being closed off at night and why they can't get the food out the way it should be.

At least they took care of the bill - that was the right thing to do.

I really wasn't expecting that, it was so nice of them. Unlike OHANA'S :sad2:, but that's more for another time.

Your cool pose on Splash shows how fearless you guys are! I'm a wimp about getting wet unless it's blazing hot. However, I refuse to wear a poncho so at least I retain my dignity. ;)

:rotfl:I don't know how far I'd go to say cool, but I'll take it and give you a much appreciated thank you! :laughing: What you don't see is me covering up (as soon as the picture is taken) with the hood of my jacket and me screaming at the thought of getting wet!! :rotfl2:

I hope all is well with you. :goodvibes I'm a horrible Dis friend right now with how crazy things are between work, wedding planning, trying to keep up running, and my youngest son having surgery last week. Talk soon Camille!

I've been hoping the same for you, my beloved friend. I know how crazy your work schedule has been of late, I've been hoping and praying for you to hire some good help. Here's hoping to you finding them this week! :thumbsup2
You are not a horrible Dis friend, you are overwhelmed with 14 hour days and a lot on your plate, we're all here for you and love you, sweet lady. :hug: :love: Let me know if there is anything I can do, in the mean time I'm praying. :) Hoping all is okay with your boy.


So I shouldn't die if I don't ever get an ADR at Be Our Guest? But it looks so cool inside! Do you think they'd mind if I brought PB&J?

:sad2: I will say, it's totally worth going for lunch!! :goodvibes Dinner I'd skip, sadly. :rolleyes:

Just get yourself a FP to skip the lunch line and then enjoy all three, beautiful rooms of the restaurant and having a great time. :thumbsup2 ::yes::
 
I really haven't forgotten about y'all.

I'm hoping to have an update or two done before the weekend is over. :)


I hope y'all are blessed and doing well. :goodvibes Things here are well, they are always a little iffy when the college age child comes home for the summer, we're getting through it and hopefully finding our heading now. :)

I'm having a lot of fun watching y'all live out your vacations on FB this summer. :cool1:
Right now we've got our fellow Dis brother Bob and his family, and fellow Dis sisters Mary, Ms. Kat, and Mary's girls all at WDW right now. I hope and pray everyone is having a wonderful time. :flower3:

I'm also trying to muster my way back to getting serious with my weight again. I'd appreciate all your support, accountability and prayers along the way. I'd like to catch up to where I was last year when I left for my trip and then some!! To be honest, I'd like to make it to my 100 lb. loss before the end of the year.
I realize I've left my 80 lb. banner up and it's not technically been honest. The method to my madness is not dishonesty as much as a constant reminder of where I want to get back to and then hoping it would keep me going. Hasn't been working as well as I had hoped.
I don't have far to get to it, but I keep losing and gaining back because I do well for a little while and then I blow it by eating things I shouldn't and not sticking with my workouts like I should.
Even though there are real issues that have kept me from getting to my work outs for a couple of weeks, it certainly doesn't make up for all the weeks it was perfectly fine to get off my duff. :scared:

Like I said, accountability, encouragement/support and prayers are much needed. I have myself back in a support group, hoping it will help keep me accountable. :) The two biggest things that kept me going last time were all the things you see here, a support system, and prayers.
The idea of knowing someone will count on me to do the right thing keeps me on my toes, so don't back down thinking it will upset me. Seriously. :)


My love and blessings to you all. Now, to make myself get through a workout.
 
I know I don't say much these days. But I want you to know you have my full support :goodvibes Weight loss is HARD (I'm trying to lose about 25 pounds too). Even if you're going 2 steps forward and one step back, you're still heading in the right direction overall :thumbsup2 If you fall off the bandwagon, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on it the next day. Sometimes I think about time as weeks, and if I'm 'bad' one day, I'll write off the whole week and think I'll start again next week. I find I do much better when I think about each day as a fresh start :thumbsup2

Tell me when your exercise days are and I will bug you on Facebook! Would you do the same for me? I'm a bit disheartened because I have been running and eating right for a month now but I'm not having any results. Hard to keep going when that happens. Go Camille!!! Sending lots of love!!!

Lana, you are so sweet. Thank you for your encouraging words and support, it means so much to me. :hug:

And you are so right, no looking backwards. :)

Deal! And of course I'll do that for you! :)
Don't be disheartened, I want you to know that when we start out our body holds onto the weight for a bit, it's a natural reaction to our all of a sudden change. It's a protective thing, and after about a month or so it starts to budge, it's slow but it is there. And don't be discouraged about not seeing the scale move, you are for sure losing inches when you don't see the scale moving. I'm sorry to say once we are 40 it just doesn't come off like it did before, but there are ways around it, consistency with exercise and eating is the key.
Eating, believe it or not, is truly 85% of our success as well. There is so much bad stuff in our food these days that we have a really hard time shedding the weight, and then we think it's us and our lack of will power, but it's simply not the true. If you are eating anything processed try and minimize it for a couple of months along with sugar and see what happens.
I think you'll feel better and see the changes you are wanting to see.
Although, I can't imagine you have much to change, it might feel like it, but I honestly think your changes will come with consistency before long. I know it feels like it takes forever but once it starts you have to maintain the consistency and you'll be right where you want to be in no time. ::yes::

When I was losing consistently, I ate a lot of lean protein and a lot of low glycemic fruits and lots of veggies, no sugar and almost nothing processed, and certainly nothing with fake sweeteners-they make you want to eat or drink more of what you are eating/drinking . I know that's not easy for a lot of people, but trust me when I say it makes a big difference in how I feel when I eat that way. If you don't feel you can give anything up just start out slow and release the things you know you can do without to start with, and then add one thing at a time as you feel you are ready.
PM me if you want to talk more about this. I don't really know what you are or aren't doing so please don't be upset by my suggesting things. I truly want to help you get where you are going if I can. :goodvibes If nothing else I want you to be encouraged, there is more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak. In other words, you'll lose the weight. :goodvibes
 
I don't think you are being dishonest at all by leaving up your banner. You earned that and its quite an accomplishment. I prayer you can reach your new weight loss goals. I know that it requires a lot of work.

Hope your summer goes well. I only have one college kid home for the summer and its so nice. My oldest is living near his college and working as a bank teller for the season near the beach resorts. So far all is going well. Fingers crossed.
 


Hi Camille!! An almost entire day to sit on my rear and DIS. Been a long time since I've had myself one of those!

Just making the rounds and seeing what everyone's up to and all.

Love you, Girl!

Thank you for that, MEK. I really needed to hear that. I've felt really guilty leaving it up on one hand and then on the other I felt it was keeping me more on top of not letting things get any more out of control. Not that I'm totally out of control, but for me it is in the sense that it's going backwards and not forwards. I do need to be a bit kinder to myself considering all that I was dealing with when my weight went to heck, but again I can't allow myself to sit in the pity party and justify allowing all that hard work go to waste. These last few sentences sums up what goes inside the world of Camille. :rotfl: I'm my own best friend and worst enemy all at the same time. :laughing: If I let up on myself I'm sure to fail, at least that's how I see it. :rolleyes:

Thank you! I wish the same for you. :goodvibes It's hard to get use to the adult child being back in the home. With is girlfriend in town for the summer we hit spurts of not seeing him at all and then a few days of not being able to get rid of him. :crazy2: Speaking of, he's heading in the door as I type.

Sounds like your boy got a good job, I'm happy to hear the young one's out there finding jobs. Not an easy thing to do these days. Now, to get mine to actually find a job. He had an internship and another job all lined out when he came home and they've all fallen through. :rolleyes2 He's burning through his savings so I'm thinking it won't be long before he and his girlfriend are tired of him not having any money.


Hi Camille!! An almost entire day to sit on my rear and DIS. Been a long time since I've had myself one of those!

:goodvibes Happy for you to have that again.

Just making the rounds and seeing what everyone's up to and all.

Love you, Girl!

I know, I'm slow about getting up an update. :rolleyes2
I thought I'd be able to get one out before the weekend was up, but I'm thinking it won't happen. :worried: I have a lot to get done today and tomorrow. But for sure before the week is out. I really had hoped for getting it done yesterday but I made my workout and some food shopping a priority instead. :goodvibes
 
Camille, I came across your trip report this weekend, and am all caught up on the TR and even went back and read your PTR. I am amazed at your commitment to your weight loss and overall health, especially considering all you've had on your plate. :thumbsup2It's during trying times that it can be so easy to fall back on old habits; yet, you managed to continue moving forward. I am sorry to hear about all you've been through, and am happy to hear you maintain such a positive attitude while dealing with everything that came your way. Your children are lovely, and I'm enjoying reading about the memories you're making with your daughter. I look forward to reading future TR updates. :goodvibes
 
I really haven't forgotten about y'all.



I'm having a lot of fun watching y'all live out your vacations on FB this summer. :cool1:
Right now we've got our fellow Dis brother Bob and his family, and fellow Dis sisters Mary, Ms. Kat, and Mary's girls all at WDW right now. I hope and pray everyone is having a wonderful time. :flower3:

Camille, just got back home a few hours ago and had a great time. Thank you for following along on FB with my trip. Perhaps I will actually start and complete a TR of this past weeks vacation.

I'm also trying to muster my way back to getting serious with my weight again. I'd appreciate all your support, accountability and prayers along the way. I'd like to catch up to where I was last year when I left for my trip and then some!! To be honest, I'd like to make it to my 100 lb. loss before the end of the year.

You know I am here anytime you want a motivational encouragement or a kick in the pants if that is what you want as well. :goodvibes Seriously, you have my support, accountability and of course my prayers. I sure can use yours as well.

I will admit, for the first time since I lost my weight and having maintained it for two years now, I really fell of the wagon on this trip. While I ate fairly healthy with the entree's it was the desserts, breads, and snacks that took their toll. I gained a whopping 10 pounds in a week. Not only did I feel it in my clothes as the week went on, but I felt it physically as well since I have not been used to eating this kind of stuff for so long.

Oh well, Tomorrow starts a new day, I can't change the poor decisions I made, so I'm not going to beat myself up over them. It's back to the proper foods, the correct portions, and with my regular running and exercise I will be back to my pre-Disney trip.

Camille, let me say this; you have been such a good friend here on the DIS. You are a real inspiration and an encourager. I hope that someday my wife and I have the pleasure of meeting you on a future trip to WDW.
:hug:
 
From what I learned from this past weekend.......

Morning Camille! I wanted to pop in and catch up with you after being gone on our Disney trip. You've had a lot going on so it's to be expected that you'd slack a little on the workout/weight loss routine. You'll get back in the groove my friend, I know it!

:welcome: party: :welcome:

Dreamit, I'm so happy to have you as a new reader! :goodvibes What a nice surprise to come back here to.

I really appreciate your kind words, I hope you'll gain something from all these pages. It takes a lot to put one's self out there like I have but I was determined to get on with my life in a much healthier way and I'm so much better off for it. Thank the Lord. :) Of course my hope is that by putting myself out there, someone else will be motivated to do the same things and hopefully be an inspiration as well.

Hope you stick around, although my updates are a bit on the slow side. I think I'm averaging one a month now. :laughing:

If you are willing, I'd love to know your name. :)

Bob, thank you so much. This means a lot to me, probably more than you will know. I think knowing this and knowing that we can encourage one another it will help us get where we want to be. ::yes::

Not only did I feel it in my clothes as the week went on, but I felt it physically as well since I have not been used to eating this kind of stuff for so long.

Oh boy do I understand this! :rolleyes: I did a little of the same with the desserts, and I'm telling you, it can be over come. I made my way back from it, but I lost my momentum when the holidays hit and my mom took a major turn for the worse. I'm not one to allow myself to over indulge during the holidays but these holidays were a lot harder to get through than normal, I just could not find the time or energy to maintain my workouts, which is not like me. You know things were hectic and mentally draining if I couldn't find the time to hit the workouts. :rolleyes:
The workouts are truly key if you want to splurge a little. And as most of us know, if we splurge a lot it will catch up with us and catch up big. Give it some time, I bet you've already seen some of the weight come off, some of it is the major sodium in the food and some might be water weight just from the trip too. Let me know if you find this to be true.


Oh well, Tomorrow starts a new day, I can't change the poor decisions I made, so I'm not going to beat myself up over them. It's back to the proper foods, the correct portions, and with my regular running and exercise I will be back to my pre-Disney trip.

This is so true and important for people to grasp when making lasting health changes. NO BEATING YOURSELF UP! EVER!
This is what sucks us in and keeps up from victory.

You probably already know this, Bob but I'll say it any way......It's only a small bump in the road, don't allow this to be a sinking pothole by listening to the enemy. He'll feed you lies from the pit of he** telling you that you are a failure, you blew it and that it's going to take forever to get it off. Like I said, ALL LIES.
If this is happening it's important to push those things out of your head, become stubborn as heck to move forward, and not allow this to become bigger than it has to be.
It's a simple bump in the road, you are allowed to live it up once in a while and you'll certainly bounce back from this. No doubt. And if you need some accountability on this, I'm totally here to give it. :thumbsup2

To be honest, knowing you are going through this same thing I am, I find myself encouraged to become victorious over it.
Strange what will motivate us. :scratchin


Camille, let me say this; you have been such a good friend here on the DIS. You are a real inspiration and an encourager. I hope that someday my wife and I have the pleasure of meeting you on a future trip to WDW.
:hug:

Bob, I can't begin to tell how much that means to me, thank you for that. :flower3: Your compliments tell me that I have achieved what I set out and hoped for when I started my PTR and TR.
I want people to be encouraged, hopefully encouraged to make lasting changes for their lives and health in spite of life's challenges, and as a major bonus-I looooove having made new friends.
My daughter and husband always say silly things as I'm about to head out the door to go somewhere, 'Have fun stormin the Castle, Make good choices, Bring back the big pieces, Don't talk to.....ooooh never mind.' :rotfl:
The last one my daughter always says, she knows me so well. :laughing:
I almost never met a stranger, and I'm so happy to have found a friend in you and so many others on the Dis. :grouphug: I too hope one day I'll have the pleasure of meeting you and your beautiful wife. :goodvibes

I'm so happy to hear y'all had a wonderful trip, but don't allow it to be overshadowed by the weight gain. :sad2: 1) By the fact you gained it and 2) By allowing it going any further.
Remember, it's a very small bump that will no longer be a bump in a short amount of time. :thumbsup2
In the mean time, we can be here for one another to get over said small bump. ::yes::

Oh, and Bob.......Happy Father's Day.

Kris!! OMGoodness, it's been far too long since we've seen you around!! :welcome:

Your jog sounded like quite the adventure. :rotfl2: That Lady Bug. :goodvibes

Thank you, sweet friend. I'm already getting there. I've lost a bit over the last couple of weeks and feel like I've more than made my way back on the proverbial horse. Now, just the prayers to stay there. ::yes::
I hope y'alls trip was amazing and zany as always. :goodvibes
I can't wait to find out by reading it in your TR. :lovestruc
 
Hi Lady! Nice to see you checking in! Congrats on getting back into the groove with your wellness. I think everyone takes a step back or two. I found myself gaining inches without the pounds this Winter, and all of a sudden an extra 8 lbs. was there, too. :sad2: I've been working harder at eating better, and started going to the y after work, so hopefully it will be in control again.

Don't worry if you can't get back to update this weekend - enjoy your family and we'll be here when you are ready! :hug:

Nope, I can't. As much as I want to not update tonight I have to get it in, I said I would.

Hope all is well with you, Ms. Tammie. And yes, it's tough with the weight thing at times. I'm hoping I haven't blown this weeks work with the meal I had tonight. :scared:
 
DHS Day!! Day 5.....I think

Our next morning arrived bright and early. :faint:

I had a standing 6:00 a.m. wake up alarm on my phone the whole trip.
Now, normally I'm a sleep in kind of gal. I hate to admit it but I'm a spoiled SAHM mom who doesn't have to get up super early and take the girlie to school anymore, hubby does that now. 1) It's on his way to work and 2) He thinks no one should be subjected to me greeting the world that early. :rotfl:
"It's not a pretty picture......I don't like doing it!" Unlesssss I'm at WDW!!! :cool1:

When on vacation, it's a totally different story. I'm an up and early kind of gal all of a sudden, don't ask me how or why. I'm an enigma, what can I say. :confused3
Of course I need to be the first one up and in the shower in order for no one to get hurt. And the funny thing is, it's not even a coffee thing, I gave it up maaaaany years ago, along with the cancer sticks. ::yes::
But please don't talk to me unless I've at least had my shower.
So there I was, up and at em and getting ready. This was certainly more of a challenge since it was the three of us ladies this time.
I think I tried to wake Maroo a couple of times before waking Mackie, but she wasn't having any of it until I gave her the..."We have about an hour before we need to be out to the bus stop" pep talk. :laughing: Then she was up!!

Mackie and I managed to try and stay out of her way as she was getting ready, I'm pretty sure we had breakfast in the room that morning since we didn't have any breakfast plans. Mackie had her chocolate squares of lies, as she liked to call them and I had my blueberries, granola and greek yogurt. Mmmm.
Story behind the chocolate squares of lies....
Upon trying to save some money, I think I told y'all I brought a couple of boxes of cereal with us. So as the story goes.....I had gone to Whole Foods and bought a box of Whole Foods version of Krave. I guess I thought I'd feel less guilty about a box of crap cereal if it came from WF. :rolleyes2
I realize how stupid I was for doing it later since there was barely anything on the inside of those squares, and that's where the name.....chocolate squares of lies came from. :laughing:

It's a bit of a blur to me now that it's been over a year, but I think Maroo at some point hurt her ankle coming off one of the buses. :scared: I wasn't with her so I have no idea how it happened exactly but I was so heart broken for her thinking what a way to start a trip and wondering if it was going to be a problem.
Low and behold she was a total trooper. :thumbsup2
She was determined to push through and not allow it to be an obstacle. I know a few times we had to stop and allow her to ice it here and there or she'd go back to the room early and ice it, but for the most part she was such a trooper. I just can't remember if it was this day or the next.

Today I was getting my stuff out to wear and decided it was a blingy kind of day because.......we had a day planned out at MGM Studios!!



Okay, okay, Disney Hollywood Studios.....



This was a beautiful day, it turned out to be a bit hotter than we had wanted but it was still a gorgeous day in DHS!! (my notes say it was high of 84 and the humidity was at 60% and barely a breeze)

Of course first thing was first, we had to ride ToT. This was when Mackenzie decided she wanted to try and find something to eat since her bowl of chocolate lies didn't seem to satisfy (the child is always hungry) so when she decided to do that, Mary and I decided it was a good time to get in line for ToT.
Mackie won't touch that ride with a ten foot pole, at least not after me talking her into go on it as her very first ride in WDW, on our very first family trip. Yup! I'm that kind of mom. ::yes::
In my defense, she's not a child that is easily frightened, she can watch and try just about anything and not be bothered by it, but I guess everyone has their limits. She now calls the ToT, the Tower of Torture. :laughing:

So, while Mackie was otherwise occupied, we made our way through the short line and discovered we were in very good company. I saw at least three people in the library who were from Texas A&M, and a couple of Red Raiders too. It's always good to be amongst your own. :goodvibes
We all chatted it up and had a good time sharing how many other Texans they had all met while on the trip so far. I was encouraged, I love Texas and I love Texans, we're a friendly bunch. As you can probably tell by how many of us started up a random conversation when about to embark on a ride. :laughing:

I like ToT, I do. But only once per trip. No joke. ::yes:: And no matter how much fun I think it is, I still get scared as all get out when I go on it. I told Maroo that I'd probably grab her arm or have my head buried into her shoulder at some point. She laughed and said just be sure not to jerk her arm that had the phone camera in it. Maroo had heard that if you are doing a video of the ride experience, they seem to do it up extra special for you.
Boy she wasn't kidding!! OMGoodness!! :rotfl2: I don't think I've ever had that much of an experience on ToT before. I know it's supposed to be random, but that thing was above and beyond!! :faint:
I guess for some reason I was concerned about a little person while on the ride or someone let out an especially strange yell, either way I was not paying attention to the camera.....:rotfl: Upon looking at the picture....I see someone wasn't caught in the picture with their #1 flying high because some how it made it past the CM and onto my photo pass disc. :eek: :lmao: Some people.


And on that pretty note....This is where I'll leave it. :laughing:

Incidentally, I did make this post in just under the wire. :rolleyes1 I said I would get it in before the weekend was over and thank goodness I did.

Sorry, I came back and edit the picture. I should have done that to begin with. Forgive me.
 
I'm with you on TOT. I like it, I think it's fun, but I'm absolutely terrified going in and will only ride it once or twice (only to do day and night time rides) per trip. It is the one ride that TRULY terrifies me and I scream for real, rather than just for fun between giggles like I do on rollercoasters :rotfl2:
