    What music defines Disney for you?

    Any themes from Main Street, soundtracks to Wishes or Reflections of Earth, and soundtracks to Disney animated films--especially from the nineties, but also beforehand.

    Hello! New Visitor - DL Buddy?

    Welcome! That's exciting and I'm sure you're stoked. I'll actually finally be at Disney's motherland this weekend as well. :worship: I'll be available to hang out Sunday night and Monday, but it unfortunately sounds like I'll just miss you. I hope you have a fabulously magical weekend!

    Thinking of popping the big Q at DLR.....

    Congratulations! How exciting! I like water and night time, so I'm thinking night time near water. Maybe with lights. New Orleans Square? Storybookland Canal Boats?

    Not So Teeny Tiny TR for a Teeny Tiny Trip Feb '16

    I really enjoyed reading your report and how you pulled this perfect little trip together last-minute and on a budget to boot! Woot! And dressing up as Kiki's and Oswald? Awesome. I totally understand not putting together TRs; you spent a lot of time taking everything in and then to go back...

    A weekend trip: pre-TR questions and advice

    Wow! Thank you! It's so awesome that you found perfect viewing positions serendipitously and without much of a wait! I'll be sure to check out your report. I have been craving this trip so hard. You're making me hungry too! A few decisions have been made. I think we are going to make this...

    A weekend trip: pre-TR questions and advice

    Howdy, DISers! I'm back, and this time, this is actually happening. I can barely believe it. As you might have noticed, my friend and I (who live far apart) have been playing with the idea of visiting Disney together for, well, years. Between life, school, work, for one reason or another...

    I really mean it this time!

    Yay! Day 3 of Week 1 was completed this morning, although I didn't have time to add cardio today. It's great that I can do these exercises from my own room. Workout was similar to yesterday's: 7 push-ups, 22 lunges, 7 pull-downs (Still tough; do these ever get easier? I've started wearing...

    I really mean it this time!

    I made a giant batch of Cobb salad and cornbread yesterday; I also blanched a ton of veggies for snacking throughout the week. I think it was a productive day! I also got workout day 1 in, so I'm in it for real now. Push-ups, pull-downs, sit-ups, lunges, and squats were called for. Those...

    I really mean it this time!

    Well, another quick update. Cooked a large batch of turkey chili with veggies for the week. Now I just have to prep the Cobb salad and scrambles. I actually had a burger and fries yesterday (with freshly squeezed juice!). As far as activity, I got in thirty minutes on the treadmill (it's...

    I really mean it this time!

    I continued "prepping" myself to begin workout season (Yes, it's procrastinating but it's better than nothing right now) this week with Day 1 of my sister's workout routine: 5 Pushups, 30 Squats, 10 Situps, 20 Lunges, and 5 Pulldowns with jumping on the pull-up bar (This is for people like...

    I really mean it this time!

    I got another 40-minute jog on the treadmill in yesterday and felt great. I also held a 2-minute plank. I was so tired and sleep today I didn't do anything other than a lot of standing and some walking. I had some of my mom's home cooking which was good but did contain fats.

    I really mean it this time!

    Well, the pre-journey continues. I'm currently in my hometown with family and will commence meal prep and official workout mode upon return to my other home in a week. For now, I suppose, I've been "prepping" myself with 2 30-minute runs on the treadmill this week for cardio 2 2-minute planks...

    My road to Dopey 2017......Comments and Encouragement Welcome

    Weaning off sodium, chips, and soda? Plus strength training? Sounds like a perfect start to the year!

    I really mean it this time!

    EDIT AND OVERHAUL 12/29/15: It's hard to believe that it's been three and a half years since I took up running. I somehow felt that I might fall off the wagon at some point. I was very excited to have run as much as I did but of course, other priorities (school, life) got in the way. I'm back...

    Lacking motivation and a plan

    Hey! Wow. Has it been almost half a year since I started this thread? I've finally emerged from my cave. Sorry I've been MIA. Life has been busy for the past few years due my return to school (first night school, then full-time, plus work and a lot of time spent with my ex and family...
