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

Happy Thursday Evening everyone!

Add me to the list of people who had a less than stellar, craptastic run. Mine was physical. I've done something to my left shin that is super painful while running. I did a mile, stretched some more and tried again. Even with walking it still was killing me. So I quit after 2 miles.

has anyone here read the twilight series? I will admit to having an obsession about it. I bought a twilight shirt at hot topic last week.:blush: they released the full trailer for the movie tonight. I stopped breathing for almost 2 minutes. I :lovestruc Robert Pattinson who plays Edward in the movie. Total eye candy. His hair always looks like he's just "exercised".

Nancy Definitely only get on the scale once a week. I used to make myself insane by seeing the day to day fluctuations.

Erika,Liz :woohoo: for the weight loss!

Stephanie Glad to hear your move is going well. I do not :lovestruc moving at all.

Paula I have angry eyes too. :mad: I :lovestruc my coirkers.

Speaking of corikers I had a major talk with one of them yesterday. Cleared the air so to speak. I feel good about it. She's going through alot of stuff that I had no idea was going on. Marital problems being part of it. I was shocked. I am still going to try and beat her 5K PR though.:) She's not completely off irker status.

I was able to add a 3rd night to out disney stay at AS Music fo 54 dollars!! we're staying at CSR the other 2 nights. Still no dining ressies though.:rolleyes1

Have a good night everyone! :hug:
 
Nancy!!:lovestruc The scale is just nuts sometimes. Something can not agree with me and I"m up four pounds sometimes. Not overeating. Not not exercising. Just some food that's spoiled or my body simply doesn't love. And then, at some point, it disappears. I'm sorry. I know how frustrating that is.

Paula - I hope I didn't scare the crap out of you. I'm sick this week. And when I am I can ramble thoughts. Please know I know it might not have any relevance to your sitution at all. And I was just sharing. I'm feeling insecure about it now. And I wasn't talking about sex in the truest sense - I was talking about what relationship energy/sexual energy can do without us even knowing it. I have this really close friend. He is married. We were roommates in university. There is no fliration beyond what good, close friends naturally do. Nothing inappropriate at all. He's married and honestly I'm not interested even if he wasn't. But I truly have come to the conclusion that there is something for him - something unspoken - that shouldn't be anyway. And that he gets so frustrated with me. Arguments and sensitivity where things used to be smooth. And it's not just age. It's an energy. Ie. that energy gets in the way of what is two people that love each other have. It interferes with what should be smooth friendship. And it's not the first time I've seen unspoken energy come up
because of unspoken feelings. One of many examples for me. And I too Paula struggle with when to take a chance and when not to in that area of life. It's difficult, eh?

Liz - you say the sweetest things. So sweet :lovestruc .

Steph - was very happy to read all about the new house. I especially loved reading about your stepson - ah crap - Nathan? Sorry if I got that wrong.

Stacey - Good to hear from you. Hope things get better. I've been thinking about you.

Lisa

Lisa -

You didn't freak me out anymore than the situation itself is freaking me out... I hadn't even gotten to the whole sex part in my head yet and man did that send me for a loop.... I kind of understand what you are saying, but I am struggling with what to do with it all... I am paranoid that if I do anything I will lose him as a friend and I can't deal with that just yet. On the other hand, if I do nothing than I am giving into my fear of rejection and my fear of relationships in general and that makes me both angry and sad... so I need some time to process all of this and figure out what to do. Thankfully, he lives out of town, so time is on my side here...


For the challenge, I am down TWO POUNDS! (total....not just this week, I mean, this is ME after all! :rotfl2: ) I was down .5 last week which I didn't even count as I figured it was regular fluctuation, etc. But I was down another 1.5 today, so :cool1:

I have to work all night, but I will be on and reading! Missed you guys all day.


Erika - I am so freaking excited for your two pound loss that I can't stand it... I must :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :cheer2: :cheer2:

I am so proud of you for perservering through all of this.... Goddess crown, tsarina crown, any type of crown you want is yours today!!!!!!

Dawn - glad to hear that you are on the mend and that Treynor's future is starting to become clearer.... please take care of yourself...

Paula
 
OMG, Erika! Two lbs!!! WOW!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

Amy, when are you going to WDW? Did we know about this??? Great talk with your coworker - and I love that you are still going to take her down in the 5k time!

I love the Twlight series! LOVE it!


Dawn - nice to see you back. Take your time!
 
Thanks everyone!

And for the new folks who don't know...I NEVER lose. I do everything right...I mean, I am an exercise freakshow (Lyz will tell you) and I eat well, etc. And I just don't lose. I should mention that I only have 10 pounds to go, so I am sure that is a big part of it. But still, it can get really frustrating for the most part. Anyway, in the month or two leading up to my half marathon (did I mention that I ran a half marathon??? :rotfl2: :lmao: ), I focused only on my training for the race and did not focus on food at all. So I haven't actively been working on losing for a while now and just returned to that recently. This is a big victory for me.

DAWN--great to see you back and posting! It's about time. :rotfl2: :rotfl: No excuses! Hospital? Bah! Kid? Not buying it! Work? Come on! :lmao:

I am going to WDW 2 weeks from tomorrow!! :woohoo::cool1: I am running in the TOT 13K on that Saturday night (10/25)! So I will be running on Saturday and doing beer laps at EPCOT at F&W on Sunday. We're sort of "local" to WDW and go many times every year, but I still get super excited.

Glad that someone else here loves twilight! :goodvibes I read the first 3 last year while on maternity leave and about had a fit when I had to wait a year for breaking dawn.

Has anyone here ever managed to drink around the world at EPCOT? I think I would be on the ground halfway around.

It's so swoony, isn't it? The series? It just makes you want to be 17!

WOW, 2 weeks!!! Awesome! Details?

I have tried very hard to drink around the world, but not hit all countries. Going for it this time? My kind of girl!:thumbsup2
 
Oh please, Drinking Around the World is a must for us! Yes, done it and will be doing it again in 2.5 weeks! :cool1:

Amy--when you do leave? We arrive on Tuesday night, the 28th. Will you still be there? Are you at CBR (I think I read that)? We'll be over at Boardwalk (close to EPCOT and the BEER, you see....) :rotfl:
 
LIZ--I will help you conquer it in Dec! :cool1: But for it to really count, you also have to include the Saki bar at the back of the store in Japan. ;)

Totally swoony. I'll be squealing right along with the teenyboppers when that movie comes out in November.

WOW, 2 weeks!!! Awesome! Details? Not too many details yet :scared1: except for hotel ressies and race registration. it's me, DH and DD going. DH is on babysitting duty while I run.

I have tried very hard to drink around the world, but not hit all countries. Going for it this time? I might try. With all the $$$ saved on the 3rd night, it might be possible!!

We'll be leaving on Monday! We'll just miss each other!! We're at CSR for the first 2 nights. Did I type CBR? I am so drunk right now. We were at beach club in May, and I loved the easy access to EPCOT.
 
you all are too funny tonight.....

drinking your way around Epcot.... I love it.... I once went out in Lake George, NY and drank my way around the village, but we drank our way around by color.... one bar was red... one was blue... one was green... etc...

A great way to get to know the bartender's abilities if you ask me...

Paula
 
Paula, I love it. Also, I totally think you need to squeeze Drinking Around the World with us in your Dec plan!
 
I am hopeful that I can.... I told the family about you all and they all agree that I need to meet up with you all while we are there... just need to work out the details of the where and when...
 
OMG, drunken posting, too! Amy. come sit next to me! :goodvibes

Drunk Dialing in college. One time my college BFF and I dialed every number in a dorm trying to track down a guy she talked to at homecoming!! Drunk posting now. I have a drunk-toberfest planned for Saturday!
 
I am hopeful that I can.... I told the family about you all and they all agree that I need to meet up with you all while we are there... just need to work out the details of the where and when...

So I am totally going to be rude and invite myself, but I would definitely be interested in a drinking around the world GTG.
 
AMY--yes, come. We will be there Dec. 6 - 9. It will be me, Liz, Lyz, Kat, Paula, Dawn and Kim (from way back on version 1 of this thread). Paula, Dawn, and Kim are all there with their families and will come hang with us for a night. But Kat, Liz, Lyz and I have a 2-BR at SSR. Come drink with us! No men. No kids. :cool1:
 
Hi gang...
Food wise, I am right on track with the one exception of a garlic knot last night...
Paula
I am right there with you Paula I was craving CHOCOLATE as in like the chocolate wave at the coral reef. I was talking about it at work tonight and every one was then craving it! I think I may have to try to make a chocolate lava cake! I did eat a chocolate chocolate chip parfait and a slice of pizza,but I think I was still in my points so that was good!

Steph, great about the house! Sounds like you are all settling in well!
House is starting to come together! I got home tonight and Stephen had cleaned up the foyer ... not sure where he hid the stuff because I know he didn't put it away!But it looks good!

Steph - was very happy to read all about the new house. I especially loved reading about your stepson - ah crap - Nathan? Sorry if I got that wrong.
Lisa
you got it right Nathan is his name, He was supposed to spend the night but he didn't some type of report due tomorrow and he needed to go home and finish... but if he were her I Wouldn't be on the puter due to it is in his room for now!!!

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow. Any big plans for the weekend? My plans are to go to the hair dressers on Saturday and get my hair colored a darker red. Then I will managed to put some stuff away and then I am going to break open the NEw bottle of DR. mcgillicuddy's and sit down by the Fire place on the bank of the river.. Let's just hope I don't fall in!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Oh in other news Stephen and I lifted the cover to the pool which never got opened this past summer and the pool is fairly clear!! That will be good for next spring!:cool2: :yay:
Ok off to bed
NIGHTY NITE
 
Morning! Just sitting here checking my e-mails in jeans that are too loose...
 
I have lost almost 20 pounds total though...that is my good news!

:hug: Glad you've been sprung from the "big house"! ;) Hope you are improving....20 pound loss is AWESOME - just sorry you had to go thru such he** to get there!

Nancy Definitely only get on the scale once a week. I used to make myself insane by seeing the day to day fluctuations.

I know, I know. It was a stupid thing to do...:sad2: BUT...I did it again today, and most of that excess has gone. It was really odd...I know my weight bounces up and down - but typically it's pound one way or the other but...3???? :eek: It was just weird.

..I mean, I am an exercise freakshow

Truer words were never spoken :lmao:

OK people. Don't yell at me. I've been uber-busy what with work, goats, kids, drama club....but we are going away this weekend. DH and I leave in just a few hours - kiddos stay home :cool1: You guys would LOVE this weekend (well, maybe not Liz & Lyz....as accomodations are "rustic" :laughing: ) It's an adventure weekend....adults only, no kids...we get to whack people with foam swords...:yay: ...more to it than that....but I'll tell you all about it on Monday!


Morning! Just sitting here checking my e-mails in jeans that are too loose...


:worship:

K- now I gotta go pack so we can leave for the weekend...have a great weekend everyone!!!!
 
AMY--yes, come. We will be there Dec. 6 - 9. It will be me, Liz, Lyz, Kat, Paula, Dawn and Kim (from way back on version 1 of this thread). Paula, Dawn, and Kim are all there with their families and will come hang with us for a night. But Kat, Liz, Lyz and I have a 2-BR at SSR. Come drink with us! No men. No kids. :cool1:
Is it wrong that no men, no kids sounds absolutely wonderful right now?? :cloud9: I'm sort of local so it would be pretty easy for me to get over there for a night of drinking. :drinking1

Morning! Just sitting here checking my e-mails in jeans that are too loose...
Awesome! :woohoo:

Nancy So I broke my own rule and got back on the scale this morning...I am down another pound though, so that makes 2 pounds down total!! Have a fun weekend!

Stephanie I recently just got a few red highlights in my hair (usually I only do blonde ones) but I LOVE the red. Next time I am going to have her put a bunch more in. Sitting by the fire place with a drink sound so nice and fall-like!

Paula I've been to lake george a few times, but have never attempted a pub crawl there. Sounds like fun!

Dawn PD :wizard: for continuing to feel better. Take it easy!:goodvibes :goodvibes

No huge plans for the weekend, long run tomorrow morning, oktoberfest in the afternoon, and a drunkfest with my work BFF on our lanai by the pool after oktoberfest. Hopefully making some dining ressies too.
