Family Mileage Challenge

Found Miles

I just got a pedometer to take to Disney. I wore it to work on Friday to see how it worked. According to that, I average 3 miles a day at work. I've worked approximately 105 days since Jen started the Challenge (even accounting for surgery time out, etc.), so we are clear to go. We are now approved to have fun.

I love your new lamb pet! I didn't know we could add sound to our pets. It took me awhile to figure out where that munching sound came from. :-)

Mileage

Way to go Andy! Our 4 miles a day didn't add up very fast - but we were reasonably faithful about our walking/biking. We should be in good shape for Disney cruising.

Congrats to Jen

Congratulations to Jen on meeting her weight-loss goal. At least one of us did!

so close!

Holy Cow, with Andy's miles added in, we're only 197 miles away from Orlando.

And Charlotte just got back from a short bike ride, so I'll add her 3 miles.

Let's see how close we can get!

I MET MY GOAL!!

Yippeee! I met my skinny goal! Go check out my ticker in the sidebar. Now I'm REALLY ready for Disney. :) I think I'll buy myself a nice skinny Mickey Mouse T-shirt!

One of the miles I just posted was Tom's! He is feeling good and went for a walk around the block today.

And check out my skinny-O-meter over there...Yay! Go me!

GOOD DR REPORT FOR DISNEY TRIP

Hi! My DR said I should be good to go for Disney and that I have lost 10 lbs since Dec when I was in. She LOVES the idea of the Disney Challenge and put it in her notes to check again just before we leave for Orlando. She actually wants me to come in one more time before I leave to tell her how I am doing.

Now, she says I can drink SPLASH, diet Tropical. It is just as good as lemon juice and easier for travel.

So...all of you people whose ears are growing bigger and mouse like :)), keep the challenge alive!

Love, GP

No Posts?!?

Hi! I noticed that no one had posted in a long time, so I decided to make my first post! I'm very excited, and I don't know if I'll be able to wait until August when we go. I'm also excited about spring break which started yesterday for me. Happy Easter!!!

ONE MORE DOWN

Hey!

I am one more down on my lbs. Only 17 to go before Disney. This is wonderful incentive!

I have 4 T-Shirts of color (blue, red, yellow and green) picked out for 4 days. Charlotte is suggesting we also use purple! OK by me!

AND...we now have the new Disney World promotional DVD to show you when you come for Easter. Pretty slick vid and everybody is smiling...just like our family!

I Would Walk Two Hundred Miles

Two Hundred Miles! Wow, mousketeers, that's a great milestone!

At this rate, we'll be able to walk to Orlando AND home again. And then maybe a few times around the block after that!

Miriam was quite proud to be the one to roll us past the 1,000-miles-to-go mark. But this whole thing is a great team effort. Just wait 'til spring really comes to stay and we can get on our bikes!

Pets & Planning

I agree about the pets. I think I need one, too!

Also, do we want to do color days like we did last time? I looked at our pictures from 2003 and saw our red day, blue day, etc. If we are there 5 days, we need one more color in addition to red, blue, green, and yellow. What do you think????
