When everyone else thinks my dream is crazy...


How to keep yourself sane while waiting!

The waiting between the email on the 9th March and the end of June was a really hard, trying experience. In an effort to make the best of things and keep myself motivated there was quite a few things I did to keep myself motivated, and here's a list (in no particular order)



  • Random trips to the Disney Store - gives a warm feeling in my tummy every time lol!
  • Building on my Disney DVD collection - I have a HUGE  collection of DVDs and so I decided to buy more Disney ones and catch up with Disney films that I haven't seen yet.
  • DMR points - when building up the DVD collection, I really got into Disney Movie Reward points. Save them up and get more free DVDs!
  • Buying lots of Disney themed baby presents - my sister was also due her baby in late June so I had two big things to look forward to! Once I found out she was having a boy, I was mega excited to buy lots of cute little outfits for him.
  • Speaking to my Disney Facebook pals. Could never have got through all that waiting on my own, and it's weird how close you can to people that you may only have briefly met once if at all!
  • Reading lots of CRP blogs. I've read countless blogs, and then re-read some of them. Have noticed that a lot of them focus on what they have eaten, for every meal, every day! There's also a couple where it seems that they didn't make the most of their time there. I am determined to never becoming one of those people!
  • Getting bikini ready! I know I won't be happy unless I loose a good amount of weight and so I started off by getting out more and doing long walks when I wasn't working. I have a really painful foot condition called Plantar Fasciitis but I was determined to see it through! A little later I joined my local slimming club. I used them once before and did manage to loose a fairly decent amount but I am determined not to give up this time!
