Hey, sorry for not posting for a while. I do still come in and read some of the journals, great to hear how people are doing. Been very stressful and busy here at work lately, and hard to find time to post when I'm at home too. Still workin' the Isagenix, had a good week last week. Did the 2 day cleanse, then had a good early morning weigh in Friday, my scale said 356!! That's 39 lbs down from original weight! Went and weighed in for the town weight-loss contest, called Riverton's Thinnest Loser, and fully dressed except shoes came in at 359, still under 360! Woohoo! The contest is for 12 weeks, and its hard to tell, but I might be in the running for the prizes.
DW decided not to do the Isagenix anymore about a month ago, said she just wants to stick with the WW, trying to support her there. She's been working tons of overtime for JetBlue, all the crazy weather in NYC keeps killing them. Its funny, but even with the Valentine's Massacre as they call it, business is still booming and they're still ranked 1st or 2nd in customer satisfaction, on-time, etc.
The San Diego trip was fun, Seaworld was nice. Saw all the shows, Shamu was cool, very impressive, dolphins were fun, amazing high jump at one point, good 20 or 30 feet out of the water over a rope. Sea Lion show was funny, but the best of all was the Pets Rule show. This was all trained dogs, a PIG, and even some CATS! I had no idea you could train a cat, amazing! The shipwreck rapids ride was fun, but no big drop like Kali or Grizzly. Journey to Atlantis was fun, most interesting part was the ELEVATOR in the middle, never been on a coaster-type ride with an elevator. We got the Fun Cards (same price as single day admission) which gets us in for the whole rest of 2007, except Memorial Day and Labor Day. Good deal, except there really isn't that much more to do if we go back more than once or twice. There are different nighttime shows now, and the Cirque de la Mer show in the summer. I guess its a Soliel type show over the water, and seems to be included with admission, but not many details yet that I could find.
Still working on the cruise goal, thinking about week after Thanksgiving or early December again, seems like a good time for deals and low crowds. We're driving to South Dakota in July for DSIL's wedding, planning on side trips to see the Cave of the Winds, Rushmore and Devil's Tower. I'd like to come back by way of Yellowstone, would only add about 150 miles to the trip, but its a bad time to be going, huge crowds, expensive lodging unless we haul our heavy old camp trailer the whole way. Nothing Disney planned yet
but I won't give up! The youngest, DD2 will be 3 and no longer free after her birthday in august, and DD9 will be 10 and no longer considered a child by Disney, also birthday in august. Would seem to make sense to try and get something in before then, oh well.
Even with the recent weight loss success, having a hard time getting excercise done. Let DD11 borrow my mp3 player, and she seems to have lost it. Trying to use this new Verizon Razr phone for mp3's but the sound quality is kinda crappy. I did buy a 1 Gig micro SD card for it, holy cow, had no idea they had cards that small with that capacity. Amazing! Need to just deal with it and get walking.
DS6 is starting baseball, he's a lefty with a rocket arm, but can't catch well yet, and hasn't had much batting practice, but does well when he gets the chance. He's in a Cal Ripken league, and they use a pitching machine, he did T-ball last year, but I think he'll be fine. DS14 is still a Moose, that's his nickname, 6'1", 230 lbs., started a weight lifting program at the HS for football, plus he's doing an accelleration training program on the side, working hard. He's a monster!
Big news for the DD's (and the DS's) is a new puppy we just bought! Its a springer/border collie mix, very cute, mostly milk white body, with a black bandit mask, I think they've settled on Oreo for her name. We've had a couple of dogs over the years, but things just haven't worked out well before. Hopefully this will go better, kids are older and appear more engaged.
Utah Jazz are still looking good, impressive win at Houston on sunday, bodes well for playoffs. Univ. of Utah hired Mich St. asst. Jim Boylen as new basketball coach. Us Utes are very excited for a return to success. Sorry about your Buckeyes AGAIN Tracy! Gators are on a serious roll. Hope all is well with everyone, if you made it this far thanks for reading!
