Diet Update-Week 1 Done

Yesterday was end of week one as well as my weekly doctor visit for my new diet. It really was a pretty easy week and I had very little trouble other than my typical exploding brain syndrome. Today my headache has subsided enough to realize that I think I'm starving to death!! Never thought I'd be better off with a headache than without! I will definitely be going to bed tonight with my stomach growling (not helped by the fact that my extra shake is now gone). A lot of people have been asking me how I feel about eating the exact same thing every day, but for me, the structure is probably the easiest part. Lack of choices means I don't make the wrong choice. I did get new flavors for this week though. I went with the chocolate pudding instead of the vanilla, but it's kind of gross. There is only one other flavor, lemon, but I can guarantee I won't be touching that with a ten foot pole. Next week I'm going back to vanilla. The Cream of Chicken soup is more fi...

Disney: The Good (Part 5)

Finishing the countdown with the smallest post of them all, we are at #1....please be upstanding for...The Yachtsman Steakhouse inside Disney's Yacht Club Resort! (Leave it to me to make food #1). New favorite alert!!! LOVED the atmosphere, the food, and even the wait staff at this place! It definitely makes the top three (and right now sits at the very top...Artist Point and Le Cellier are really gonna have to impress in December to topple it). C-O-W!!!! (didn't get a lot of good "around me" pics because people kept staring): mark this down in your calendars people...I actually ate the bread (typically hate bread)! It came with roasted garlic and sea salt honey butter: I got the White Truffle Mac & Cheese as an appetizer and it literally blows Le Cellier's Mac & Cheese out of the water! My New York Strip with Brandy Peppercorn sauce (easily cut with a fork) and White Cheddar Twice Baked Potato (which didn't get eaten much since ...

Disney: The Good (Part 4)

#2-The Camera I wasn't planning on getting a new camera for this trip, but my mother put the bug in my head by saying, "You're not getting ANOTHER new camera this year, are you?", so I couldn't help myself! I ended up going with the Sony RX100m2. It is a point & shoot, but they don't get better than this little beauty! I debated long and hard over the mirrorless, but ended up deciding I wasn't photo-knowledgeable enough to handle a mirrorless (and I will never be able to afford a DSLR, and who would want to lug one of those around anyway). Never once did I use the flash or a tripod and I still managed to consistently get good pics! I also never took it off of auto mode (so imagine the results I could have gotten had I learned how to use it BEFORE I went!). I also found myself taking tons of pics of flowers that I never noticed before. This is a very photo heavy post, so prepare yourself and, without further ado, the favorite pics of my Disney...

Disney: The Good (Part 3)

Despite the horrors of it's guests, Disney's Yacht Club Resort was absolutely beautiful and, at least visually, was all it was cracked up to be and more, which is why it makes #3 in my countdown of the Good Disney Moments! Yeah, I should have used those camera filters (that I just HAD to have) when I was taking pics outside: The lobby was really pretty! As was my room: I'm always fascinated with how cool and resort specific Disney makes their desk lamps: The gift shop was nice, but I was more than a bit disappointed over the lack of "Yacht Club" themed merchandise. I know that Disney dropped pretty much most of the resort-specific merchandise, but I guess I'm just used to Wilderness Lodge which is very resort-specific: And, of course, the lagoon side: Stormalong Bay (the pool...never use, but love to walk around) (yes, the sunken ship is the pool's water slide): The walk to Epcot and looking back to the Yacht Club: ...
