Day 9: 359 (whee!)
Ok, so it was Feb 20th and we was up bright and early for the park. Amy had given me a birthday cake hat to wear all day to the Magic Kingdom. (this is important). On the way, Amy told me that she had arranged with a group I've used before to do a part wide scavenger hunt. The idea was Stitch stole my present because he was jealous he didn't get one. I had to follow clues around the park which was a lot of fun. A lady went with us to take pictures of the whole deal. Eventually, it led us over to Epcot where Genie gave me three wishes just because Stitch accidentally broke my gift..all this led to Morocco's Fez house.
you will just have to wait till tomorrow for the good stuff at the end

DAY 10: 360 (boo)
Amy and I went into the Fez house of the Morocco pavillion. There was a small Aladdin lamp with instructions. We were to stand back to back with our eyes closed. Amy was suppose to rub the lamp and I was to hold my hands out for my surprise. As Amy did that however, I snuck around in front of her, got on my knee and proposed.
Here is where I stop for a moment cause it's time for the backstory. Amy only thought she set this up. I got my mother to suggest the scavenger hunt to her for my birthday gift, but I was working with the company the whole time to end it in the Fez house (her favorite spot) to propose. I had the ring the whole time in a little section inside the birthday cake hat. I had to sneak it out of the hat while her back was turned so I could do the proposal. In the room was a tourist videotaping around but she was a part of the group to record the moment on video. I'll see about uploading that video to youtube so you guys can see it.
oh..we aren't done yet but the rest comes tomorrow.

DAY 12: 358.6
Day's better than before. Overall I'm in a good mood, though my new kitten seems to have a windup clock that starts at 3 am. Going to try to drop down to 357 range before the 4th. Time for some calculating...
4 weeks left in July..Aiming for 320 in 20 weeks so 1.93 a week 7.72 by the end of the month to stay on course.
So in one week let's go for 356.6, 350.8 by the end of the month.

DAY 13: 357.8
Just a lazy weekend this week. I am just looking to keep up a daily post on this one. My new kitten has decided that the only play to lay is my belly. I guess she thinks my being fat makes for a great warm bed. I can't even set her down cause she cries if she isn't right there when I'm at the computer.

We all do!
It is just something we deal with when we weigh ourselves every day.
But don't you love when the Flux is down?

DAY ..um..ok day 1?
Weight: 356.8
Yeah, I had stopped posting cause my weight kept going back up. It was up to 363 at one point there. I flux so much it is frustrating so I have focused right now that it is sickening. What I'm doing now is working pretty well. For dinner, I've been stopping and getting one of Wendy's new salads (spicy ceaser or the apple pecan) but using only one of the dressings and none of the addon (crutons or the pecans) packs. It makes it between 550-600 calories for a nice and tasty salad that keeps me filled up all day. Then I have a smaller controled portion of what Amy makes for dinner for lunch instead. As you can see, I'm down to one of my lowest points again so I'm happy with the results.
Change in plans though, Amy and I (with her father) have decided that we will move to Florida around May of next year. We all hate South Carolina and he wants to spend his last years down on the beach with his metal detector. I will be able to go back to working at Disney as it was always my dream to do. She will return to the counciling work. We are going to make this happen. As such, we will likely NOT do the big trip instead going for a research trip with maybe 1 park. It's cool..all for the goal.
Also means I want to keep dropping the weight so I am under 300 by Florida. That is a good ultimate goal for now..but I'm planning to keep the same pace I had planned. We have 10 days until the end of the month. The goal is to hit 354 by then. It isn't the 350 I was aiming for before but that still would be a great success.

hehe... if I had a nickel every time I had to do this... glad to hear your still/back on track though. I'm sort of jealous to hear you're moving down to florida. On the other hand, I like to ski... on snow, not water. I'd be missing out if I moved somewhere warm all the time.
Those new wendy's salads are pretty good. I've had the cobb salad. I too only used one of the dressing packets - more than enough for the whole salad. I can see myself getting it again when I'm in a bind for dinner. I should probably check out how many calories are in it though.

wow moving to florida sounds great. I think the goal of getting to 300 by florida is doable. Id really like to see you make that. Then you will feel fantastic when it comes time to interview at the park to start working there again. I really hope everything works out. all my best
