Kelly - get the he!! back here. I either want to sleep with Jeremy Irons or Rodrigo Borgia - I haven't decided as yet.
Also, Lisa. I've started this whole Thursday morning weigh-in business. Not because I wanted to, mind you - but because Mini-Minion is making me She caught me off guard last week. I was supposed to journal all week - I didn't. I was definitely more mindful about my food, but I only tracked 3 days out of the 7. Yesterday I made the decision to stop having my own personal pity party and get the he!! on with things. I tracked every crumb, and am feeling like I'm mentally ready to do this thing! Today I was shocked when I weighed in and lost 2 pounds. TWO WHOLE POUNDS.
Thanks Lisa. Thanks for being in my head so much - in a GOOD way [/COLOR]
Tracking works Nancy, it just does! yep...I had no freaking clue what you were talking about just 6 months ago when you were talking about tracking...now I think I'm an expert or something! I think it's like magic. I track, the scale moves.
!
It IS magic!
I am enjoying reading this thread - still trying to figure out who is who but mostly trying to get the motivation to lose weight! I did it today took the plunge and went back to WW and hated every minute of the thought of it! I have decided I am going to stop beating myself up and get going even though I still do not know how I could let myself put on 40 pounds in 5 years! Is it physiological or what walked out of WW meeting and all I could think about ALL DAY was FOOD Going walking tonight - my friend is really good about getting me going and we do a 1 hour walk at a decent pace. Need to get back on my elliptical and really work up a sweat but baby steps for now!
Lisa - Yes the money is motivation and to think I was going for free for years and now back to the paying.......
Nancy - The storm here was not so bad last years storm for us was awful - 7 days without power and about 12,000.00 in damages from trees landing on our pool and all over the yard. What part of Ct are you from? I am about 20 minutes east of Hartford.
Gotta run for now thank you all for making me feel welcomed!
And yoga. I know I should be doing more yoga. I think that is one of the most under-rated forms of exercise there is going. Thankfully more and more people seem to be embracing it, but it's been hard to convince some people of yoga's benefits.
Hey! Are you guys not doing the Princess? I've heard no chatter and I found out that they are at 80% now.
Nancy, if you're talking to Liz - please send my love. Thanks.

But, if that wasn't enough - this 5K? yeah. We are dressing up. In FAIRY COSTUMES
Hi, just checking in. We are hosting friends who are without power. It is just really sad and everywhere I turn, there is more.

So I'm very very excited. Brian told me that as my birthday gift he's taking me to Universal for three days after our Disney trip so I can see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I've never been to Universal so he's pretty excited we'll experience it for the the first time together. Now we'll be down there November 29 to December 9!
My mom couldn't believe he didn't wait to tell me on my birthday but I'm glad he told me early so I could help with the planning.
Meg, so FUN!!! GREAT gift!!!! Okay, I will post my TR just for YOU.
Thanks for the good thoughts, ladies. We have a noreaster coming our way today. The general feeling is "B$tch, please!" We are just DONE with the weathern and what it brings.
So many don't have pwoer and now this will knock more people out. The families displaced, the ones cold, even the small things are hard. Stores are still running out of basics like bread and eggs and milk and while the gas rationing helps, there are always lines and the stations close when they run out.
Yes, my dad has power back, too, and while we do, not an hour goes by that I don't hear a new story. All people we know.
I'm just TIRED.
Today I will leave work early and maybe go home and sleep - although some people are probably coming over to get warm today. I don't begrudge that at all - I actually like people around - it's just that life here is so far from normal and it will take a while to get back to it and that wears on one. Schools are out until Monday and ours isn't sure they will have HEAT but hey, bundle the kids up and send them in - they already lost 2 weeks!
Em got to trick or treat on Monday, in the downtown, at stores, because it was canceled again for all the towns. I fought for her to go do something. I wanted something normal in her life. Nick took her. I sat on my couch and cried. That's so not how I parent, you know?
And she got to swim yesterday - the Y reopened finally. So that helps. Helps her and it helps me.
I need a nap!
We are doing it. Just some of us I am not going to say any names
are a little slow to register. But I think I have bugged them all enought that they all have done it as of last night. Lets hope so.
We are doing it Lisa. And get this. At some point during our last Princess Adventure Weekend it was decided that we would also do the Royal Family 5K on Saturday. But, if that wasn't enough - this 5K? yeah. We are dressing up. In FAIRY COSTUMES
Definitely we are walking the 5K. Definitely. For me, personally, my hip won't allow me to run a 5K on Saturday and then complete a half marathon the next day. Plus, I did mention the whole "costume" thing, right? So, dear Lisa. My dear, dear, Lisa - what do you say? You want to join us for a leisurely stroll on a Saturday morning in February?
I thought about doing the 5k when I ran but decided not to do it. Love the fairy costume idea!! I love running in costume, don't know why.
Lisa- It's ok to laugh, its funny. I laugh at it myself. It's something I'm really thinking of learning in the spring. There's a triathlon at the lake I've grown up going to in New Hampshire and they say it's amazing so the idea is in my head.
Thank you for your reminder about nutrition. I try to really make sure to keep myself fueled and to listen to my body. I'm sure I could do better but I do what I can. My parents honestly try to keep an eye on it as well.
Liz- Thinking of all you down there.
Getting into my car at bootcamp I dropped my 8lb weight on the top of my foot, I skidded into the curb driving home in the snow. (My snow tires aren't on yet of course.) It was a day filled with things like that. There's so much going on in the world that is worse then my petty problems but today I just can't deal with it. My bad work situation is just finally making me crack. And I'm sharing here because I feel like I can share that I'm cracking and no one will judge. I wish people would understand this is an exhausting line of work, you're on your feet all day, you have to chase around after little kids and deal with lots of yelling. If you can't deal with this at all you're probably in the wrong place and complaining to me all day, every day is not going to help either of us. Or maybe I'm in the wrong line of work because I love the children but I can't deal with the fact that there are so many lazy people!!
Sorry rant over. I just need some safe place to get some emotions out. I should go back to Universal research now, hard to be unhappy with something like that to look forward to.
I'm also going to have to decide if I'm doing the Princess soon before it closes. I regretted not doing it this year, I'm mental listing the reasons why and why not to do it.
