Okay, I'm back a little from my exile. I've read through everything, but I don't have time to comment on everything, so I'm just going to say hi everyone and then answer the QOTD/QOTW.
QOTD for Friday, August 20, 2015:
What's been your biggest frustration with your goals/plans this month?
My biggest frustration is that I can't stick to my plan. I made myself a great plan, and if I stuck to it, I think I would do great. But I tend to just ignore it sometimes ... I made the plan, I should follow the plan, but the laziness has been winning out a lot lately. It's really frustrating.
What fun weekend plans do you have? Parties, movies, cook outs, yard work, swimming, shopping, sleeping, cleaning? Anyone planning to spend some time meal prepping for next week?
We had cousins in town for the weekend (they're actually still here), so I hung with them on Saturday. I went to a Yankees game on Sunday ... my first one of the season (actually only my second baseball game of the summer ... usually I've been to 3 or 4 by now).
Take a look back over your progress and your journey this month. Whether or not you hit your goal does NOT mean you've failed. What is something you did/changed/accomplished this month that you are proud of? Three consecutive days of eating right? 10 perfect push ups? Fitting into an old pair of jeans? Drinking more water? Cutting back on sweets? Anything that makes you proud of your hard work this month!
Rest days! It sounds crazy, but I'm always trying to fit in exercise somewhere (because I feel bad if I don't) and it frustrates me, so I've been forcing myself to take one rest day a week and I've really enjoyed just having that day off. I'm really impressed that I've been able to stick with it and haven't forced myself to exercise on my off day just because I'm not losing weight.
If you were booking your Fastpasses right now and could pick three attractions in each park, what attractions would you pick and why?
Okay, because doing this for my actual trip is not hard enough...
Animal Kingdom: (this is what we actually get at AK)
Expedition Everest - because I don't like it enough to wait in the regular line
Kilimanjaro Safaris - it's my favorite attraction at AK
Meet Minnie and Mickey - we like characters, we don't so much like lines
Epcot:
Soarin' - because the line is long. And I like California.
Test Track - long line, awesome ride
Epcot Character Spot - see explanation for Mickey & Minnie at AK
Hollywood Studios:
Toy Story Midway Mania - my favorite ride at HS - I'm willing to wait on the crazy line, but FP+ is better
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster - this I won't wait on a long line, so FP+ is one of the few ways I'll ride it (that or if the line is short)
Fantasmic! - this is something I love seeing, so I'll take the shorter wait!
Magic Kingdom:
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - my favorite ride at MK, and it always has a long line
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - we love it ... and haven't waited on the regular standby line since about 2011 (every trip since then we've either had FP+ or (in California) an injury that allowed us to use the wheelchair entrance)
Peter Pan's Flight - I like Peter Pan and the line for this is always terrible
What are you WOOHOOing today?!
Someone gave me their old Garmin GPS running watch ... I'm pretty excited to use it for my run tomorrow!
I'm going to pop in to September to say hi, and maybe I'll come back later today and update y'all on my week. (If I don't get back ... it's been pretty boring, but busy)
