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

[lisaviolet]

For the challenge, I am down TWO POUNDS! (total....not just this week, I mean, this is ME after all! ) 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

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

Fanfriggintastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I get to dance again!

I have lost almost 20 pounds total though..

Again I get to dance....

Good to hear ya Dawn.

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...

Paula

Oh crap. I knew I shouldn't have used the sex word. What you just wrote is actually why I shared the thoughts. Ie. You're worried about losing him as a friend - and I'm sighing just thinking about the choices myself. But my babbling was about if there is sexual energy/feelings abound that there is unspoken energy flying around anyway. Which can sometimes cause havoc in their own way in friendships. I tried to write it without the word sex - cause it wasn't really about that at all- it's about aaah I'm smiling ear to ear Paula. I just can't explain what I'm trying to say. It's an energy thing.

I want you to know that I understand your thoughts about your fears perfectly. I'm right there with you Paula as well. I truly understand it. I wish you nothing but the best.

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!

Just and a and a

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

Dancing time.

Hey ladies!
Happy Friday!! Hope everyones week is going well... I worked out everyday this week!!! My challenge loss is now 4.4 lbs total... I'm at 188.8 today I have plans to do my power sculpt dvd and some form of cardio today when I get home from work... Tomorrow I'd like to go on a hike since the weather is cool tomorrow... We'll see if DH gets up tho... I have a great 100 calorie per serving cookbook (everything is 100 calories or less per serving) so I am making breakfast and dinner from it. We are going to have banana shakes for breakfast, subway for lunch, seared scallops for dinner, and oat buns for snacks and dessert. I am really looking forward to it I hope everyone is doing well

Holy crap. Another one. Yeah!!!!

I tried a complete drink around the world at F&W two years back... I must say, when they more than double the amt of beer stands, well, not only did I not really make it, I passed out on SE...

And I will take Amy's weekend as well.


Erika, YOU GO!!


I have fallen completely back off the wagon. Fatty McFatster reporting in here. Don't hate me.

Hate you? You are really not off the wagon. I learned an important lesson this summer. Time comes and goes. And it can all be put back in order in an instant. I came to you all after I suspected I was starting to gain after the BL. My goal was to simply maintain the loss from that and the other over years. I felt I needed time to prove to myself I could hold it. And it worked until suddenly one day I felt it was unravelling. I thought I was a goner. I was down as in feelings not on scale!!!! I thought I had done huge damage. And that I couldn't get back. It took courage to come on here. (Gosh lately I feel that courage has brought me so many wonderful things in life)

Not much time has taken place. And now poof - maintaining is not an issue. I am already four pounds under that weight, the one I was trying to maintain, already. And Kat - I'll say it one more time - I thought I had "lost" something, I had screwed something up royally, that I had @#$#ed myself, and there was such a long road back. Nope. It can be like this. Back so quickly. It was an important lesson that I will always remember. I thought I was out for the count. Nope. So just hop back on when you're ready - or simply fake it for awhile and see if that works.

Gosh - sorry for the novel. I simply can't shut up these days.

Hey Honey, I'm Home!

Yeah!!!

Lisa Happy Turkey Day!


!

Thanks Amy!

 

[lisaviolet]

1. IM? Anyone?????


2. Amy. COME. You are my kid of girl. DEC meet!!!

3. Lisa. Get on this asap.

xoxo

I'm sitting on IM like a poor little child waiting for her friends......

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Here we are!

 

[lisaviolet]

Kat, Paula...

I don't know what the heck happened to me on IM. Sorry if that's my side screwing up the IM. But night - since I didn't get to say so.

Lisa

 

[amykab]

ok. its been a LONG time since the last time I've IM'd. what do I do? so freakin' buzzed right now. I predict no hangover though.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Sounds like everyone had fun last night--hope so! We had a great family night...the kids had us laughing so hard it hurt!

Lisa--glad Thanksgiving was good! No guilt--it is an important holiday.

Amy--yes, we are going to need a full report on drunk-toberfest, m-kay?

Up early again today for the second half of the soccer tournament. And check how convenient this is...Riley's games are at 9am and 2pm. In a town 45 minutes a way. Just saying buh-bye to my day...

Have a great day everyone. It is stunningly gorgeous in New England, by the way. Mid-60s, not a cloud in the sky, bright sun, and leaves to kill for. Like, speechless it is so beautiful.

 

[adsrtw]

Checking in for the morning (while it's still morning). Wow, what a weekend. I was up for a fun night of internet surfing Friday night ~ yes, I was looking forward to it! But, all of a sudden, my phone goes off with a text. Hum, who could that be? My friends all have a life with hubbies and I end up being the 3rd, 5th, 7th wheel when we do anything. Well, I was in luck. It was one of my favorite guy friends ~ the kind that could be my bff or lover if he would just get over his shyness. Ok, the boy can talk your ear off about nothing, but is too scared to say any kind of feelings about anybody whatsoever. Anywho, once upon a time, we were really close, but he didn't want a gf. Men! OMG! I am rambling! Come back, Amiee!

Long story short, he took me to dinner (and paid ~ we usually went dutch) and we hung out for several hours talking about everything and nothing. It felt completely different from our normal hanging out a few years ago. Could this be the start of something? Who knows, but I am and have been crazy about him. The only negative that I can think about him is he likes to talk about himself ALOT. He didn't Friday night. Call me old school, but sometimes it's really nice to have a car door held open. I'm giddy ~ just trying not to get my hopes up.

Signing out for now, gotta go for a hike.

Lisa--glad Thanksgiving was good! No guilt--it is an important holiday.
.

Thanks Erika. It is a lovely holiday.

No issues here. I do have guilt in life but never, ever about food. I decided years and years ago - maybe 15/20 - that I wasn't going there ever and whatever will be with my size will be. My going on and on was about me looking forward - and loving afterward - the absolute yummy gluttony of the day. And of course laughing at the irony of our final challenge weigh in.

My uncle has had us for years at his cottage. Total extended family. Four years ago he was having a stroke while he was cooking and serving us. Yes, I said having while . He kept saying he was just under the weather. And my parents pushed him after we had all left - took him to the hospital and yes he having a stroke. Very lucky - they had to say "you're going".

So he hasn't had us while he was recovering his health. And now has it at their relatively new home because despite his health he LOVES to do it. So much to be thankful for. So much. And of course he is a fabulous cook.

Can I say Amiee - this post made my day - possibly my week. Honestly. I had a big smile reading it. Huge. Made me so happy to see this in your life.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

 

[lisaviolet]

and anyone else on IM in the future. So everyone.

I would never get off without saying goodbye or saying that I was going. Never. Manners are huge for me. And I realize that it might appear like I am.

Something very strange is going on. I stay on the same page - the same chat and I'm there - no error - I can still type but everyone has disappeared but nothing has changed on my end. So I sit there for awhile, waiting, talking to myself and feeling like an idiot. And then to have some confidence left I have to leave at some point when I'm talking to myself and waiting and waiting for someone to talk to me. So I say good night, which no one can obviously read and have to leave when I'm not ready.

I realize that on your end - you are still in the same chat room too and I've disappeared. And it appears like I've just gone without manners and I haven't. so we all never left the chat room screen - it still in front of all of us but suddenly I'm not on yours even though I can type and see it. And you're not on mine. But same exact screen.

I have no idea. Tired trying to figure out why this happens - third time. And it's getting old. It feels weird. I'm beginning to hate IMing. (And it's not like when I magically cause an error - which is annoying as well - I have no IM alert for this situation)

So in the future I'll shut down (after I realize I'm alone - which is very close to someone taking a long time to answer so it's a crapshoot to figure out )and hopefully one of you can invite me in again. And someone will realize what is happening.

Ok, I would love to comment to both Aimee and Lisa but the reality is that I am drunk. We went apple picking after soccer (again....sorry Nancy! Yes, we did the whole hay ride and corn maze and everything).

But anyway, we got home with all of these outrageously good apples, so what did we do? We had to press *some* of them! And so we did. And made fresh apple martinis! OMG--yum-o-licious! I mean, total mouth-gasms! For real.

So, drunken posting for me.

Aimee and Paula...you two need to talk, seriously. You are both in the same place, totally.

And FYI...I leave for Disney in 16 days! I am FINALLY excited about the trip! 4 days at Disney and 4 days at Club Med (which means FREE alcohol for 4 freakin' days!).

Ok, time for another 'tini....

Not anymore... Long story, but I don't think anything is happening with my saga anytime soon.... can't quite talk about it here yet...

Aimee - I am thrilled for you and will have my fingers crossed for you.... I hope this is the start of something more for you and your friend.... sending good vibes your way...

Lisa - no worries... I figured it was something with your AOL... there is something seriously whacked with that... Did you download it or are you working off the web based connection? When I was doing just the web based thing it was all screwy. I downloaded the program and am running it off of my machine and it is much better... Send an e-mail to AOL and see if they know anything about it...

Have fun everyone tonight... I am off to cook me some healthy dinner... fresh sauteed greens... yum... and I am so having my chocolatest desert (within the JC options of course) that I can find... I need to soothe my soul tonight, but don't want to veer off plan so I am all about the comfort foods tonight... good thing Jenny's Mac and Cheese is so yummy.....

I'll hop on later after my workout and see how you all are doing...

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Good Evening ladies and Dan of course!
So last nights drinking by the river was a bust! We got invited to MIL for dinner and I ended up making an apple pie and we stayed there until 9. Everyone came home and went to bed.
So today we went to church and then I came home and swept the whole house. Then did dishes and then BAKED not one but two cakes and made HOME MADE FROSTING! Since we were moving on TY's birthday we decided to have a small family gathering tonight and have cake for him. By small that means inviting all 4 of steph's siblings and then my BFF and my mom so with spouses and kids there were 23 of us in my NEW house! It was large enough! And we split into to rooms his family in one room and mine in another lol!
Now tomorrow I have to spend all morning cleaning up from tonight!

Sam asked to go to the Taboo night club tonight! on Sunday's of long weekends they have Teen night! I said NO at first then thought Hell my mother NEVER LET ME go so I let her go! Her to friends came over to get her and then she left with just a text message saying she was gone! I am now just waiting for her to come home!

In other news Stephen's friend's 23 year old son died. His GF woke up and he was dead beside her. Have heard rumors that drugs were involved like Ecstasy but he was also in a motorcycle accident about a month and a half ago. He had a bruise on his brain so they were doing an autopsy on him. So again on my day off I will be running. I will have the wake and funeral on Tuesday and then that afternoon I have to bring Sam to the orthopedist. NEVER STOP no wonder I fall asleep as soon as I sit for a few minutes!

Ok off to watch me some Brothers & Sisters!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Man, I am glad you're back!

Love you.

ok. its been a LONG time since the last time I've IM'd. what do I do? so freakin' buzzed right now. I predict no hangover though.

Ha! We get on im to talk uncensored and privately. Tell us your AOL IM name, post or pm for privacy, and you can join the fun.

Up early again today for the second half of the soccer tournament. And check how convenient this is...Riley's games are at 9am and 2pm. In a town 45 minutes a way. Just saying buh-bye to my day...

Do you go home between?

Cheers.

 

[lisaviolet]

Paula - so sorry to read your post to Erika regarding your friend. Obviously, you're still dealing with it all but just wanted to say I'm sorry.


As for AIM - I will try to go in a different way. Thanks Paula and Lyz. No, I didn't download it. And I will try something. It's all better now knowing it's 100% me. . It was playing with my self esteem - because I "know" all of you and didn't think you were pushing me out or anything. But I did have thoughts that maybe some of you were off doing other things, online or off without logging that on the chat, for moments in time and I was left there. Sorry for the thoughts - but it was so bizarre I didn't know what to think. Liz helped me calm my little thought process. I asked her if there was something I wasn't understanding about AIM etiquette. Third time it's happened so not just last night to have these ?????. It's such a mystery. I do want to love IMing one day.

Steph and Lyz - sorry to hear about the deaths. That's very, very sad Steph - so young.

Erika - loved your post. Hope your night is just as lovely as the day in Maine.

Amiee - no matter what happens. Yeah to possibilities. Yeah to lovely moments. I'm very happy for you.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Wake up girlies. It's Monday morning!!!

I tried to take Columbus day off, but, it didn't work. I am getting a few things done here, then to the dreadmill, which I haven't been on for 6 days! 6 DAYS!!! I'll check in later.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Morning Girls
I managed to keep my boys some what quiet for an extra 45 minutes this morning and I slept in. They don't have a clock in their room yet and I kept telling them it wasn't even 7 yet so to be quiet! I'm bad! So I am just getting up... I haven't even gone down stairs yet!

Stephens friend is taking this all very hard because he was the one bailing his son out all the time and he can't bail him out of this one. And stephen doesn't do death well and he hadn't a clue on what to say to the guy so he just did what he always does and just ignored it. That was until friend called and he had to call him back. ( which I had to push him to do) His friend now has called about 8 times and I tell stephen he needs you to listen to him. He got that confused look LIke HUH what are you talking about?
Yes it is all very sad when a young person dies, this is the second one in the area that has died in the last few weeks. I think it was two weeks ago we had a 24 y/o hang himself over a fight with a GF.


Does everyones kids have today off? We also have tomorrow off. I should have thought ahead and took today off and gone home for a few day! The ride would have been beautiful through the mountains with all the fall leaves!
Ok so here is a pic of the "NEW" hair color! Don't mind the look of the style I just got out of BED!!!

Ok So I need to go down stairs because my BFF bought my son a Nerf gun with suction cups and I can just imagine my french doors being shot at!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Good morning everyone...

I am stuck at work today (the crews are working so we are here...) and let me tell you, the building is creepy today. The state employees all have the day off so this big cavernous building is empty... You can hear every little thing in the hallways... Good thing it will be a short day for me... I am outta here at 3:30 to go to my JC weigh in and then off to a first aid / CPR training class (my company wants us all to get certified as a safety precaution).

I got a great workout in last night: 20 minutes of my walking DVD and the BL low intensity cardio workout so it was a solid 50 minutes of cardio. I felt fantastic afterwards so that was a very good thing considering the day I had. All in all, I worked out 5 times last week.... I may need to borrow a flashlight given how dark it has gotten around here...

I'll check in later today... it is figuring to be pretty quiet around here....

Paula

Steph - forgot to mention.... love the new hair color and I am so sorry for the loss that you and your friends are going through... There is nothing worse than the loss of someone so young.... I'll be praying for you all....

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning! Yes, I am here and kids are off today. They go back tomorrow, but the university is closed through Weds. so it is Fall Break for me. That means no JumboTron this week! Excellent!

Steph/Lyz--so sorry about the losses! Hang in there.

Aimee--I LOVE what Lisa wrote! Yes to the excitement of possibilities. And yes to having a great night out even if it doesn't go anywhere beyond that.

Paula--I know that status issues have changed for you with the friend, but I think it is awesome that you are working your program and working out so well! AWESOME for you! You totally rock, gf!

Liz--awfully quiet...

And KAT--come back already! I don't care if you are on or off the wagon or whatever...I just care about YOU.

I am in BIG-TIME vacation planning mode today. Like I said, I am finally WAY excited about this trip! But I just made a list of things that I have to do in terms of trip-planning and prep, and it is pages and pages long! Yikes!

So I will be on and off all day. And at some point I am going to have to do something with these kids...

 

[amykab]

Morning everyone!

Drunkfest on Saturday was a blast! We went to oktoberfest in town, and they were serving beer in these plastic 28oz boots that you could get refilled. I think I drank about 3 of those. And they also came with a lanyard so you could hang them around your neck! Awesome. Then we came back to our house and hung out on the lanai drinking mojitos and watching the Rays baseball game and the gators football game. I probably drank a tad too much, but I really wasn't hungover other than just being dehydrated. Unfortunately I did get a bout of vertigo yesterday (unrelated to the drinking), so I kinda had to take it easy.

Also, coirker ran in the the race for the taste this weekend at EPCOT, so I looked up her result and am proud to say that I totally could have kept up with her!

I don't have the day off but am only working a half day since DD's daycare is closed. Columbus day is so not a big deal down here at all.

Stephanie So sorry to hear about the death. So young. Love the hair color!

Erika Apple martini's sound wonderful! The perfect fall drink! and for vacay!

Aimee Sounds like you had a wonderful time! for it working out how you want it to!

Paula for the workouts!

Lyz Sorry to hear about your Uncle

Lisa Glad your thanksgiving was good!

Have a good day everyone!
