In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Hey Ladies! Here is a blast from the past. Looks like I have missed a lot, though I have lurked on and off for a while. You all seem to be doing so well. I need to do SOMETHING, so I thought I might hop back in here. That is if you'll have me?

WELCOME BACK!!!! We are always here!
I am Steph~ I think you left just before I started posting... I do remember seeing your name floating around for a bit!

Morning Everyone!

Stephanie You know, I fully expect to be unemployed soon ....Unfortunately FL has made me into a cold baby. When it hits 70 degrees, I have my sweatshirts, jeans, socks and shoes on. We used to laugh at my Aunt when we lived in VT, because she lived in Arizona, and always bundled up in the summer when she came to visit us. Now I understand!

to everyone!!

How do I join the challenge? What's the time frame for the goal?

Yesterday was a "rest" day for me, but DD and I did get out for 2 miles in the "hood.

Have a good day everyone!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hey Amy--this is a quick challenge. Just till Oct. 15th (which is two weeks from tomorrow). We just started last Weds. (while someone had the nerve to be on vacation... ), so it was only 3 weeks total and you can definitely jump in. Just let me know how much you are going to try and lose in 2 weeks and I will add your name in.

OMG I totally forgot that you lived in VT! Yes kinda cold here right now! 55` you would have on your winter parker and ski pants LOL! I am freezing but I am sitting in my shorts and T-shirt! Almost time to break out my flannel PJ's. Where in Vt again was it you lived?? I am thinking the islands but then again I am thinking rutland?

Ok so I know you guys all travel and my mom just purchased an online travel agency . Check out her website http://www.ytbtravel.com/wryestravel. I just looked at flights for me to fly from Burlington to Orlando in DEC (yes in my mind I still want in on the TRIP!!) and it was only $254 round trip for fri- sunday, I am not sure if that is good or bad I don't fly all to much any more but it beats the $630 roundtrip that we paid last year per person for our christmas trip

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Well congrats to all who have lost and stayed the same. I am in the middle of catching up.

I think I must have missed some stuff

Ya think?

Yeah - I'd LOVE to do that show...but DH & I don't have an interesting enough "back story" to make for "good tv"...

Ah, ya just gotta make up some drama. Tell them your husband spends too much time in the barn if you know what I mean.


Popsicle Stick Squats? - gonna have to google that.

Get yourself 8 popsicle sticks (from a craft place. if you EAT the popsicles to get them...well...defeating the purpose, now isn't it! )

so - you squat to drop stick #1. Then, squat to PICK UP stick #1. Then squat 2 times to drop stick #1 (again) and stick #2. Then squat 2 times to pick up (ONE AT A TIME) stick #1, then #2. (catching the pattern yet? ). Then it's on to #3....drop #1, #2, #3, then pick up #1, #2, #3....

Make sure you are truly squatting to drop & pick up - not bending over...

add a little sumthin' by doing a lunge on each leg (ie left leg lunge, then right leg) in between your last "pick up" and your next round of "drops".

Trust me - your fanny will be feelin' it!

You might be worse than EriKa.

PS - they are monitoring internet usage at work, so I may be a little quieter than normal as I try to wean myself off of my addiction to this board... please don't take it personally... Just means I'll have more to say at night....

Well that sucks! Do they expect you to work at work?

You have got to quit saying Onion Rings. I am highly sensitive to suggestion.

Closing is TOMORROW[/U][/B] CABLE IS COMING ON THURSDAY TO INSTALL I am having them put cable in EVERY ROOM.. just incase I ever need it it's there, and then they only charge me ONE PRICE not 40 to come back every time I think I need it some where else!

Smart.

It's very exciting Steph.

Bryan - um, where the heck have you been. You just dropped us like a rotten apple. What could be more important than us? Hmmmm?

WELCOME BACK!!!! We are always here!
I am Steph~ I think you left just before I started posting... I do remember seeing your name floating around for a bit!

Steph, Bryan was here before you? Gosh, it seems like you've been here forever.

my mom just purchased an online travel agency

Steph, isn't that like major?

I am sucking at this little challenge. Totally.

Get out of my head, girl! As soon as I read onion rings I thought (in my best Homer Simpson head-voice): Mmm. Onion Rings.


E, you kick booty. Really.


Steph I am so excited for you!


Paula sorry about your class, I hate when my routine gets out of whack.


Nancy, you are evil!!


Bryan, good to see you back.


I am so frakkin tired today. Yesterday was emotionally exhausting (thanks E for talking me down from the ledge), and then I had hockey from 9:15-11. I don't think that getting out of my chair today, after almost 4 hours of hockey in the past few days, is even an option.

Hopefully today will be better. Although I have a stupid irritating cut on the side of my thumb that makes typing hurt. Meh.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Steph, Bryan was here before you? Gosh, it seems like you've been here forever.
UMMM yeah I know I just fit in where ever I go!! That is because I can chat with the best!!!


Steph, isn't that like major?
Not so sure of this thing Iy's like a pyramid thing the more peeps she gets the more $$ I think she gets?? Not sure what it is all about. She is flying solo on this one!

I am sucking at this little challenge. Totally.

Ok don't feel bad! I just want to weigh less than I did last week fully dress because shorts and a t-shirt won't cut it this week I have on jeans and a thermal shirt and fuzzy socks and I am still shivering. Shivering does that burn calories??? DOWN 1.2 pounds*CHALLANGE UPDATE*

Oh lets see DEB and AMY you live in the warmest area's do you have a spare room for me I can't take the cold and it's only 57` here. Not sure if I will make the winter..... -15 is going to be like a death sentence for me this winter I don't have my extra thermal layers.. WHY DID I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!

Of to deliver lunch and get zacs supplies.

 

[amykab]

Erika Put me down for 4 pounds!

Stephanie We have one spare room! No reservations for the winter months yet! My family is near Rutland,VT. And at 55 degrees I would totally be layered and bundled in my ski attire! I don't know how my brother and I managed to wait for the bus in sub zero temps...I shiver just thinking about it. And it's getting to the time of year in FL where we can totally call our families and brag about how gorgeous the weather is down here. I LOVE it!

 

[HockeyKat]

Steph, come on down. It's currently 68 but supposed to be 83 today.

I was 169.6 today so that is 3 lbs down from Friday weigh-in. I guess that counts as part of the challenge...

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Kat it's only 6 degrees cool here! YIKES just got back from running errands and it is currently 62 here. Still I am bundled in jeans thermal shirts and polar fleece and my big fluffy socks..
On the plus side of things these jeans are supposed to be tight as they are stretch jeans and they ARE BAGGY!!!!!
OK NEED TO ACTUALLY GET WORK DONE I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO DAY!

 

[3DisneyKids]

You guys are killing me! It is like 59 here and I am in shorts. Welcome to Maine.

Proper post soon. Still gross from the gym.

 

[Astro Orbiter]

MMrgh. Multi-quote just went poof.

So - what I remember -

Steph - HORRAY on the house! Great idea on the cable. Once upon a time, my dad wired our house for the (wait for it.....) antenna (...tells you how long ago it was!) to be plugged in into any corner of the family room. Downfall, if you have an outlet you may choose to put a TV in. My dad has continued putting outlets in everywhere and I think we counted 7 TVs in his house! He even wires the garage!

Lyz - no challenge is small! But you've got weeks left!

Kat - you are a hockey goddess! I have tried and tried to skate over the years and just can't. It's horrible. And to play hockey!

Kat / Steph - good on you for the challenge!

I'm deciding that challenges aren't my thing. At least if I do them by weight. I lose 3 lbs. I gain 2 lbs. Lose 1. Gain 2. Lose 2. Lose 2. Over like 3 weeks.

So, instead, I'm shopping in my closet. The *other* side of my closet. Where I keep clothes-that-don't-fit-but-I-won't-get-rid-of. Today I'm wearing a pair of pants I haven't worn for like 6 months! I'm also cleaning out my closet. I wore a shirt last week and had to keep twitching it into position all day. Too big! GONE! I'm also pre-shopping for new clothes. Trying on in smaller sizes is the best!

[goofyfan-12]

I promise not to mention the dreaded food group anymore....

think mmm carrots instead.....

you guys are cracking me up with the conversation about tempertatures... my mother is always cold and the joke has and will always be, count how many layers mom is wearing, divide by two and that is what you should wear... it has to be 100 in the shade to get mom to wear shorts and a t-shirt... I say bring on the cold.... I love my sweaters and can't wear them when it is hot out...

talk to you all later,
Paula

I am with you on the challenges. It seems like every time I join one, I binge that night.

I love shopping in new sizes too. Good for you for getting to the other side!!


I am really not a hockey goddess... I just enjoy it and keep trying. I am no good. Although, I did score last night.

Once they get the pics up on the website, I will have a no-makeup, hockey gear (yes, the hockey pants DO make your a$$ look big) team pic to post.

I grew up outside HockeyTown. (Any guesses?) Hockey pants make a skinny stick of an 8yo boy look like he's got a big a$$.

Grumble. I had sushi for lunch. It didn't do it for me today. I want to keep eating...anything... But I'm beating it down with a pack of gum and a bottle of water. Wish me luck!

[Dizneydawn]

Morning/afternoon

Medical update - will not be released till Thursday

Epidural feels like you got the wind knocked out of you sort of- you can feel your legs but they are useless - like baby gum gel - numbs with tingles...very weird feeling...

Need to say hi to each - and Liz - do not leave us...

And onion rings are the devils work mama!

My @ss is sore - i walk like I am 300 years old...and am up to 259 - although I m assured it will drop off..

I want to ve beck to 245# by the 15th and healthy.

There are many HockeyTowns in my own little world.

I love sushi.

And I am having one of those days where I just don't WANT water. Whine!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

I'll whine with you, Kat! I just can't get out of my own way today!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I'm going to join the WHINER group right now! It's Rosh Hashanah....which means every school in the area except ours, has the day off! Translate that to mean: Every mom brings all the kids in her neighborhood to pick apples! Really - they were all great - just so danged busy I didn't know whether I was coming or going! Another gal (who is a friend of the owner) came to help out. THANK GOD! While she doesn't know much about how we do things in the kitchen. she is certainly great with assisting the customers!

<phew> now I'll join the WINE-R club....with my boyfriends Kendall and Robert (as in Jackson & Mondavi )

You go! How many miles? 20?

nah - not today. Shorter ride...didn't map it out, but I'm guessing closer to 12 or 13 miles today...


Only 5 more weeks until daylight savings time ends!

Bite your tongue, woman! I *hate* changing the clocks back! It will get pitch dark here as early as 4:45 by December. It's awful!

So I need to get my BUTT in gear and get stuff moving! Closing is TOMORROW CABLE IS COMING ON THURSDAY TO INSTALL I am having them put cable in EVERY ROOM.. just incase I ever need it it's there,

Yeah for closing day!

We have cable in every room as well - including the master bathroom (not kidding). we don't necessarily USE it - but it's there, just in case!

BRYAN! Welcome home...

You might be worse than EriKa.


I'll take that as a compliment!

Get out of my head, girl! As soon as I read onion rings I thought (in my best Homer Simpson head-voice): Mmm. Onion Rings.


Nancy, you are evil!!

Umm...once again...I'll take that as a compliment!

I was 169.6 today so that is 3 lbs down from Friday weigh-in. I guess that counts as part of the challenge...

Yeah!!! :cool1:

Feel better Dawn....

Ok...if I want to be in the WINE-R club....i gotta go GET me some!!! TTYL!

 

[HockeyKat]

Hey Steph!! Look!! Nancy has you down as 169.6. I bet you would take it...

However, that's mine. I would say you could have it, but, only if I get a prettier number, 'kay?

And yes, evil was a compliment.


And darnit, I still want onion rings.
