Amy - I meant to ask you. Did you hit the midnight movies last night?
running to my parents - well not in a literal sense.
My house will be full again soon Seth comes home sometime today, Nate late Tues or Wed. oy. I need to go grocery shopping!
I also need to pull out my half marathon training schedule and see just how far off track I am!
Nancy! How was/is Cheaper by the Dozen? She's a good mom? So funny to think.
I'm back but not caught up at all! Just started a TR this morning, so not many pics up yet, but I'm working through them and editing them all! We had a fabulous time! LOVE AKL, I must find a way to live there now. I never wanted to leave the balcony!
Hi Ladies!
I'm home. I have power. I just don't have it in me. Know what I mean? Comprehending things is too much for me now. I'm just cruising.
Lisa, you are right. I needed that cry. I went back to school on Friday and it was great. Em goes back on Tuesday. Those kids have been out over TWO weeks. Going to school felt like normal again. Like life. If that makes sense.
Today I went to the Y and did a yoga class. I have registered for the Princess but the idea of going there and doing that seems like a life away. Like something I once did. But now isn't part of me.
I know some of this is the hurricane and some is losing my mom. It's both.
I'm in a MUCH better place right now. Certainly not financially but if *I* am not fine, all the money in the world won't matter [/B][/COLOR]
Well, the idea of me running in costume is crazy. I can't wear a hat. Or sunglasses. Even a shirt with SLEEVES absolutely KILLS me. Erika says that if they would let me, I'd run naked I'm not *that* bad, but nothing extra.ever. This costume is going to be the death of me I swear
We were super lucky in both storms. Both were coastal storms, and I'm far enough inland that we had no real issues at all this time.
Meg, I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt, but glad she's doing ok! Yes, I think it makes a huge difference when people exercise and are taking care of themselves and something like this happens. I hope 2013 is fantastic for you...a good year usually follows a crappy one, right?!
Sorry about the race, do you mean you had to stand there waiting for 45 minutes for an obstacle? That's insane. It's too bad some people got hurt, they should find a way to have a standard that has to be followed and you had no way of knowing!
I'm here, things just settled down and are about to get crazy with Thanksgiving. I will keep reminding myself as it gets busier and busier heading into next week that the insane hours, driving, and work is going to pay for a little mother/daughter trip for Savannah & I in February! I'm pretty sure my house is going to fall apart in the meantime though. Rey will help, so that's good!
Meg- so sorry to hear about your aunt. And I thank you for the tough mudder advice. I am going to get one of those cameras. I fear Everest the most. After that the taller set of Berlin Walls. Otherwise I think I'm good to go. I am excitedly nervous.
I had an crappy mud run in in October. Questionable obstacles ( like 3 of them I refused to do because they looked unsafe.) and our 5 mile run ended up being 8 because they had crappy course monitors. :/
I will be off my workouts all next week. :/ Saturday we leave for 3 nights at vero, then 3 nights at AOA lion king. My kids will get 5 nights at AOA as they will stay on with my parents after I leave to go back to work. I plan on some runs and some push ups and stuff in the room.
Not looking good for a loss this week, but given that we have had 2 holiday dinners at work, I'm happy with maintaining.
Lisa- yay for the loss!!!
Meg Seriously! How much can one girl take? Here's to a MUCH happier 2013!
Lisa - WOOT! Nice loss! I'm struggling significantly. The workouts are getting back to where I want them, I've pretty much given up alcohol again (I had several drinks last Saturday night at a party however) - but the FOOD! Holy sugar batman. Halloween candy. Birthday cake. Brownies. Ice cream.
I had a nice talk with Megan yesterday. (the girl I've been working with while Erin is out on maternity leave) We decided that I need to focus on what's going on with the noon-4pm portion of my day because that's when it tends to fall apart. <sigh> Tracking. It's all in the tracking.
Karen - so, where are you going on this lovely mother-daughter trip?
Amy -Vero & Disney Fun, fun, fun! Which race do you have coming up? Is it one of the Spartan series? or a Tough Mudder?
'It was really good! Everyone did a great job. Today is set-strike and I start pulling costumes for Oklahoma! Getting an early start.
Hi to everyone!
I'm sick with the flu. And it's HEAVENLY outside. SO frustrating. Like 60 and sunny. And tomorrow is 50 and then straight down to 30 something.
Crap!
So no WW for me today - what a beautiful thing to come out of the awful flu!!!!
I made sure I ate so that I wouldn't weigh in here but honestly feels somewhere around a maintain either small gain or small loss.
I think I'll be holding steady for a bit. One I eat tons of almonds. I've been putting in 6 - when I do track - it's 2.
And I think I'm at the point where I don't care about losing as much. Am I at goal? Nope. But at that place where I feel fine. So good and bad in that thought.
Plus, I am a person who forever checks if I can do anything for life. And I'm starting to feel like I need to be more loose.
Now that's a line.
I have no idea why I just wrote a novel about nada.
Hope you're all having a great day.
I will catch up later but Megan - happy to hear that's she's doing okay. And Liz - must be hard day for you but happy you're all together with your family.
