You ALL helped me and my daughter get across that finish line. We have really cool medals to show for it, and we had a marvelous time. We even got to see the back of EE. It is flat!

Lud, I only have to run another 13 miles to do it tho.... 
I'm just still not over the fact that I didnt get swept, but I dont merit a finish time!! (they unplugged the chip time recorder thingy)
I checked...
sorry.....it doesn't happen very often here so i kinda get excited when it does. and it's those big, chunky white flakes too.
the best part is i'm off tomorrow so i don't have to get out in the mess.
You guys rock!!!Hi! Stealth post from the great state of Illinois (hi Sandy and Lynda)!! I'm here (Moline) on buisiness (and not looking forward to the snow overnight. I will hopefully fly out before the really cold air settles in over the weekend. I haven't been very peepish with my food choices... but I have been exercising.

When I lost the weight before I got rid of my largest sized clothes. I just left what I was just getting out of. Then I got pregnant, gained all my weight back pretty much and now it's going to take 30 pounds to get in the normal clothes. I am sitting here wearing maternity jeans cause that's all I got that fits. I REFUSE TO BUY CLOTHES I WILL ONLY WEAR TEMPORARY.
I hope the 2 nights/3 days are worth it. I do love the contemporary. It holds lots of memories for me.
Mom brought over a meatloaf. I was like, yes I can have that. She cuts a few slices and I'm like what's all these white things? She said she had left over hashbrowns and she put them in the mix.
I stood there staring. Ack?, potatoes I was thinking, then I knew that would put me in a binge. So I put it back and made a salad!
What will power I have!!!!!!! Cause I can eat hashbrowns morning noon and night.
Can I get a woot woot?

We are supposed to get it here in NC next. I work tomorrow but have the option to work from home if gets messy.
Sorry I haven't been around, have had a whopper of a week on all fronts.
I have been so busy and upset, though, that I have stayed very Peep-like! Although I did skimp on my workout today, only did weights, no cardio. I just didn't have the energy for it.
Hope everyone is having a better week than me!!
Woot woot! And don't forget the thrift stores. You can help a charity and get some decent fitting clothes for the short term. then donate them back when you're done. It's like renting them.
no school Monday
(MLK )
ooh: muffin recipe!! SNOWING?? Hope its at least above freezing!! We're headed for a deep deep below zero freeze!! BRRRRRR
Wendy - what do you do when you HATE veggies??? I mean I hate veggies!! gag me with a spoon!!![]()
So fdil emails me - and asks if I"ll run the Shamrock Shuffle with her - its her favorite race... well, ok I guess (I think I'm on some kinda halucinagen!) THEN, she calls to get the scoop on my half marathon - and she talked me into doing the CHICAGO HALF in AUGUST!! how does this happen???!! The thing about the Chicago is that a lot of WISH'ers come here for it!! And dh says we can stay in a hotel...Lud, I only have to run another 13 miles to do it tho....
and I'm still weepy, and I"m still swollen, I'll probably lose my big toenail - I guess that's common for runners...I'm just still not over the fact that I didnt get swept, but I dont merit a finish time!! (they unplugged the chip time recorder thingy)
So I still have to get out there and at least get 15min miles, and if I can lose 20# I can get a 14 min mile - just imagine running without those 10# weights - like BETTE SUE on BL!!
At least I'm not heavy enought to qualify for BLI checked...
I would love to read a report about chicago!!!Hi Peeps!
I will try to stay caught up. And perhaps I'll post a mini trip report of our Chicago weekend.
I've always wanted to visit there.I just want a chip, so you are my chips.
.
...
ah well...what can you do!
i've been here for 11 years and i think it's snowed once. and i mean snowed where it actually stays and you can play in it and make snow cream. in tennessee we got at least 3-4 good snows a year. another reason why i miss living there so much.Sorry I haven't been around, have had a whopper of a week on all fronts.
I have been so busy and upset, though, that I have stayed very Peep-like! Although I did skimp on my workout today, only did weights, no cardio. I just didn't have the energy for it.
Hope everyone is having a better week than me!!
hope it gets better today!And perhaps I'll post a mini trip report of our Chicago weekend.
For those who watched AI, was Drew just the cutest?
dismom had surgery on her mouth this week i dont even know if she's posted here or not....she could use a little pixie dust right about now!
hope she feels better soon!
DH was home and we went for a little drive to a tackle shop. He's been on the look out for a new pole. I will not be keeping my TM goal this week because I did something to my back. Going to the chiro today. Talk to everyone later.
I have felt rotten since Monday when I had this tooth cut out.I didn't eat for more than 24 hrs though ,so we will see what the scale says tomorrow.

Snow cream? You'll have to explain this one to me; I just assumed living in Wisconsin I'd know everything there is to know about snow!and i mean snowed where it actually stays and you can play in it and make snow cream.
