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

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Hi Ladies! Goodness busy day posting.

It snowed here today. Hard. Then melted. I enjoy it - when I'm in my house, when I have to go out, brrr, it hurts. My vechicle came with an remote starter, I am SOOOO loving that. I just push a button and when I leave the office, so nice and warm.

Lets see what can I remember:

our school district has school info online also. It's up to date daily in jr high. I can see Molli's info right after her class. I like it.

Ohh - I hate Vicki too. She's just an ugly person. I like Jillian. Wish I had someone barking at me, then I'd be a beauty queen.

Poutine - I was the one grossed out on AIM when schooled on the northern delicacy. Blech.

We'll have to email/pm the plans to you Amy. What does pretty girl think of the cold and snow?

EriKa - glad you had an awesome run. I am struggling with the dreadmill. I just feel blah.

Dawn - glad you'll be back online again. Bout time.

All I can remember for now. Hi everyone else

To everyone going to WDW in a couple weeks, do you all have an itinerary? What would be the best night for me to come over and have some drinks with you? I just found out we may have some out of town guests, in which case I wouldn't be able to come over, but I hope to be able to.[/QUOTE]

So cute Amy. So cute.

Told her I want her to make me HATE her :laughing: She asked if I want the "I think I'm going to puke" workout :confused3 yep. That'd be the one for me. yeah.
[/QUOTE]

I how I love those kind of workouts.

 

[lisaviolet]

Cutie - it was you. Sorry Nancy.

But then again I thought someone was grossed out on the thread too. My head is getting old.

Stacey - Oh Stacey just put it on a barge and push across the lake. No snow yet. And I hate winter with no snow. Hate it.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Paula - I hope your friend is alright!

Lisa - I....HATE.....LAKE.....EFFECT! And i get slammed, i get the lake effect coming off of Lake ONtario, and then it swirls over Canandaigua lake which is 2 miles away, and just DUMPS snow on our heads. You like snow? I'll gladly pile it into trucks and ship it off to you!!!!

I hate the first snowy day of the season, traffic crawls (13 mph on the expressway) 5 & 6 car pile ups all over the place, and I-490 was closing all of the ramps on my commute home b/c ppl weren't paying attention and were gunning it around the ramps and flying off the edge...... i hate stupid people, why is it everyone forgets how to drive?

I'm so excited for everyone who is meeting up in Dec JEALOUS!

I can so relate to that first snow commute from hades.... it is not fun and what is usually a 35 minute ride quickly turns to a two hour ordeal...

I spoke with my friend and he is doing all right. They ran some tests today and found three blockages outside of his heart (his heart is good, thank god). He is having a nuclear stress test tomorrow to determine how severe the blockages are and from there they will determine if it can be treated by stents and meds or if bypass surgery is needed. So tonight is a wait and see kind of night. I'll likely be making a trip down to see him once they decide on a course of action. He is scared, but starting to come to grips with everything.

Thanks for all of the support today... you all are the best...

OK - now for the ugly part - food report
B - JC cereal, banana, skim milk, tea and 1 oz LF cheese (I have to add a protein to some of my cereals thus the cheese)
L - JC rotini w/ meatballs, celery sticks, yogurt and LF choc milk
S - apple and vitamin bar
D - salad, stuffed shrimp, veggies and wild rice, small slice of choc cake
S - 1/2 eclair (yes, stress eating I know..)

I am drinking tons of water today so that is good...

Thanks again everyone,
Paula

Okay, this is what really bothers me. And I mean REALLY. When people are crying, she is yelling at them. Is that what you really want from a trainer? These people are having an emotion, and frankly, they NEED to feel those emotions. No one is overweight because we dealt with our emotions properly. Here are people who feel a trigger and are told, don't cry it out. Don't feel it and let it be. No, shove it again and again. So then you can go home and continue to shove it all and never lose the emotional weight.

Are they sometimes crying out of frustration, etc? Sure. Do they need to keep going? Yes. But is there a way to do that and still honor the very real process of releasing emotions? YES.

I'm not a psychologist, and I'm not a trainer, but as a human being who has dealt with both kinds of weight, I find Jillian's reaction to Michelle on the treadmill appalling. I think when people need to release emotions, other humans need to honor that. And I think there is a way to push them and help them succeed without stepping on that process.

Somehow I posted and then like a whole other page showed up. Weird!!

Amy, your daughter is so cute.

Paula, glad that your friend at least has heard something and is on his way toward a course of action. And better that they find it now and fix it. Love the pic, you look cold!!


Snowed here a bit today but of course not enough to lay. Supposed to be in the upper 40s to mid 50s this week, brrrr for here.

I am still in the midst of a CSI:NY DVR-fest, so no BL for me.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

My goodness Liz - you have a way with words!

Paula - liked the bigger pic. Can see you!

Okay, this made me laugh. Because you are either mocking my rant, which is totally cool bc you're my girl, or you are serious and that's even funnier bc people actually pay me to write, which is crazy, right? Like, CRAZY. Or maybe I am just weak from HUNGER. And ANNOYANCE at my so-close-but-not-there weight. ARRGGGHHHH.

Love the pic!!!! That's a nice, non Carhart coat!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

totally NOT mocking you. I thought I like Jillians way, and you convinced me of the other side. You need to be an attorney.

Not surprisingly, my dad used to tell me that throughout my entire childhood, every time I argued my point about anything and everything.

Also, I was an English major, and what else are you gonna do with that degree? Who would hire you? Whaddya gonna do, make books?

Dad was an engineer. Can you tell?


Sorry. WEAK from HUNGER.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Ohh - I hate Vicki too. She's just an ugly person.

I soooo wish that Amy had voted for Vicky.
(as an aside- before BL started tonight, DS *begged* me not to offer commentary on what a b!tch Vicky is. What? Have a mentioned that once or twice?

I spoke with my friend and he is doing all right.

That's good news Paula

Yes, I do agreee - to a point. I mean, if they get to a point (with anything in their lives, not just exercise) where things get really, really hard...they need to know that they CAN do it. That they CAN work thru that feeling of "impossibility". When Jillian said something to the effect that "you can CHOOSE to quit, you can CHOOSE to give up, but don't ever say that you CAN'T do this"....that can apply to so many aspects of our lives...not just the workouts - I think this is the point that she is trying to make.

Now - the fact that she makes it while screaming in your face after she's stolen the seat off your bike? Well....I guess we all have our own...style

 

[AKASnowWhite]

food:

B- kashi/blueberries/milk - 3 points
Sn - fruit/protein smoothie - 6 points
L - salad w/ 3 oz roast beef, sunflower seeds, parm. cheese; 2 light rye toasted with 1 tsp butter - 6 points
Sn - fiber one bar, clementine - 2 points
D - Taco Grande (adaptation of Pampered Chef recipe) - est 6 points
Sn - strawberry mini wheats cereal, milk - 4 points

Total - 27 points....right on target

Thanks Ms Paula. Nice. Hey! I thought you said you were frustrated with your bottom half being slow with the weight coming off. You look smaller there. Has it changed more than a few months ago?

Oh and I forgot to say something about your weigh in. Paula, I could literally eat the wrong food - doesn't agree with me is what I mean - and I'm up for no apparent reason. So hang in there. I know it was perplexing for you.

Glad to hear they are figuring things out with your good friend.

I think when people need to release emotions, other humans need to honor that. And I think there is a way to push them and help them succeed without stepping on that process.

I want to say before I start that it is my 30 day shread week. So I've been chatting up about Jillian with someone else today. So it's been a Jillian fest.

The reason I used to laughing icons to your post is because it kills me that this woman can bring such differing opinions. Such extremes. It's wild to me. I was laughing at Jillian and her ways bringing such different experiences. I'm a tad insecure that it came off differently on the post.

I'm so torn by what you say. In many ways I absolutely agree. 100%. I have someone right now that realizes that compassion will best serve me. And I see the value in having emotions.

Yet my thoughts tonight were that Michelle has been very sad for a long time, with good reasons - very good reasons - wow to her life, but Jillian's gut on it was that that sadness and tears got her to such a heavy weight and difficult life. And that she needed to push through. I think she said I can't. I also saw a part of me in Michelle that sometimes, mostly in my past, wanted to quit and run when I felt overwhelmed. And I needed someone to say, many times in my life, oh no you don't. I don't need it now. But I unfortunately did as I was really hurting. I needed someone to say push.

But I don't know Liz because tears and tears and tears have taken me to such wonderful places. Wonderful insights in life. So I wouldn't give them up.

So interesting.

[lisaviolet]

Oh and Jillian often consoles them outside the gym. In that she does think emotions need to be released.

I just think "I can't" really triggers her.

 

[lisaviolet]

Nancy, were we posting at the same time? Or I just pushed reply.

I went back and read your post. It's like I just plagarized a university essay.

 

[3DisneyKids]

You will do great. Trust me.


Well, if I didn't say YICK before, I'll say it now. YICK

WORD! This just sounds sooooo gross!



Ah. Well, I LOVE Jillian. As a matter of fact....I talked with the trainer at Planet Fitness (my new gym) today. I want to sign up for some sessions with her. Told her I want her to make me HATE her She asked if I want the "I think I'm going to puke" workout yep. That'd be the one for me. yeah. She trained some of the NY Jets during the off-season

Twisted. That's me (Erika...come on down if you want to join the beatings... )
[/B][/COLOR]

OMG, count me in! I would love to have someone like this to train with! The hard core puke work-out! LOVE it!

Ohh - I hate Vicki too. She's just an ugly person. I like Jillian. Wish I had someone barking at me, then I'd be a beauty queen.

Yup, hate her hate her. I will be your Jillian!


Poutine - I was the one grossed out on AIM when schooled on the northern delicacy. Blech.

Oh no you don't. Don't pin this on all of us. This is revolting!

EriKa - glad you had an awesome run. I am struggling with the dreadmill. I just feel blah.

Been meaning to ask you...why do you do the DM instead of walking outside?? Outside is so much healthier.

Ok, so I haven't seen the show...but I just want to say that this is what would work for me. ANd hopefully, they really screen the contestants so that this type of involvement from the trainer is what works for them. Don't know...just thinking out loud.

 

[lisaviolet]

totally NOT mocking you. I thought I like Jillians way, and you convinced me of the other side. You need to be an attorney.

I've so missed you.

 

[lisaviolet]

I've so missed you.

And it's only been a day or so.

 

[lisaviolet]

WORD! This just sounds sooooo gross!


Well if you think that it sounds gross - as it does - you should really see the look of it. You would have to make up a word for super gross.

For me - it's a I'm home thing and that's all. Gyros on a pita for a local joint does it too. Like a comfort thing. Like Mama's cooking. Although my mom would never dare cook anything like that.

I'm hone in Quebec. Long story but I won the lottery to land where I did for university. Jean will eat it too and she's super healthy. Actually, what am I talking about - I'm a relatively healthy eater. It's based on pure food-place onnection.

I have more gross news for you. Some Quebecers butter their pizza.
