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

[MunkyMe13]

You ladies act like you don't even know me. I "AM" the path of least resistance. Ice. I can't willingly place ice on my person. What kind of freakshow do I look like?



lol. You are on a "need to see" basis.



Ya think? I wouldn't do it.

I am not officially going. I haven't gotten the green light. The pretripnuptial agreement signed. But I am working on it. Outloud. Not just in my head.



Sarah, I'm sorry. I can't imagine your life cycle. It must be exhausting. I'll cross all my digits for you.

Paula, did you see the finale? I am soooooo peeved.

I have had a very bad mental health day. I am totally raging at the man. Myself. I just want so freaking much.

And another thing. I can't go to a gym. Do you understand how much I loathe me. I can't barely go into Walmart without wilting under the shame of me. I definately can't go into a gym and work out with the beautiful people. I need another plan. I'm gonna have to do those crap butt popsicle squats.

I will wake up in a better mood. Just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Ok. I am going to bed. I have a full day tomorrow. Marvin is having his teeth cleaned and I get to go see my gynocolosist. I am looking for humiliation. See ya'll in the am. TTFN.

Thanks... They still haven't given a final answer but he is pretty sure he is staying on nights...

So Nothing to report other than according to my Doctors notes I have lost 38 pounds since February! My blood pressure was Normal today! the last time I was in in FEB it was sky high like put me on some medicine HIGH! Today it was 130/74 I was psyched about that.

Go Steph! That's awesome.

Can't wait to see what the LADY DOCTOR says in January when I go there! Let's hope it is Jan. TOM is late by a week!

Yikes Steph! We'll chalk it up to stress. Or maybe cause your body lost 38lbs it's confused.

To the ice people. I put a Cinderealla frozen owie pack on my knee last night. It wasn't bad. I think I'll go all out today. lol. I'm such a child.

 

[3DisneyKids]

The ice people...this made me laugh.

To the ice people. I put a Cinderealla frozen owie pack on my knee last night. It wasn't bad. I think I'll go all out today. lol. I'm such a child.

Ok so I am having this same argument with my daughter who is supposed to ICE her knee three times a day. This morning she was saying gee I don't feel like it and it's cold I don't want to do it. I said Let's see you cry when you have blood work done witha butterfly needle and if you don't ice the knee then it's surgery! So what do you want to do ice or BIG NEEDLE! I am so mean! So she iced it! I won!! SO LYZ ICE THAT KNEE !!! put a towel (hand towel or face cloth) and put that baby on there and sit for 15 minutes... Think of it this way it's an excuse to sit and put your feet up!

So last night at work sucked.. the main hospital computer system crashed last night which meant that we had to put every order in by hand which took about 5 mins per patient and with the tubes coming in at about 1 every 2 minutes it was hard to keep up. Thank god it only happened on the last two hours of the shift. Then we had one girl take vacation time and our boss thought that we would be fine without her, because after all we had a trainee with us! OMG lets just say I don't like this girl already. First impressions are what counts for me and she bombed it. So it should be an interesting night tonight because she is on again!

Today i went and got my mail because I know EVERYONE forgets it's right in front of the house now and I had two cards welcoming me to my new home I got the all warm and fuzzy feeling!
Ok need to go fold laundry and do some laundry!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Paula, did you see the finale? I am soooooo peeved.

I did and I seriously thought Korto should have won. I think they went for Leanne because her collection was more editorial. Korto's collection was very wearable. Don't even get me started on Kenley's.... I can't take that girl's whining...
I have had a very bad mental health day. I am totally raging at the man. Myself. I just want so freaking much.

And another thing. I can't go to a gym. Do you understand how much I loathe me. I can't barely go into Walmart without wilting under the shame of me. I definately can't go into a gym and work out with the beautiful people. I need another plan. I'm gonna have to do those crap butt popsicle squats.

Um - if I can go to a gym and even take a class where I am the biggest gal there, you can so go to the gym!!!! The first step through the door is the hardest, but Erika's right - find one that is not all about hardbodies... and yes, they do exist...
I will wake up in a better mood. Just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Ok. I am going to bed. I have a full day tomorrow. Marvin is having his teeth cleaned and I get to go see my gynocolosist. I am looking for humiliation. See ya'll in the am. TTFN.

Lyz - feel free to vent whenever you need to... We are here to listen...

HI LAR IOUS. I so need to go to the gyno (or as Liz says, the lady doctor...who warned her about Advanced Maternal Age, let's not forget! HA! Still having fun with that one!). OMG, I have not been in ages.

Ok, must work.

Umm... ages since you've been??? Don't you know you should go at least once a year to have things poked, prodded and generally checked out??? Get thee to a lady doctor woman...

So you guys have had some fun tonight I had FOUR pages to catch up on!
OMG LIZ Way to go on the weight loss!
LYZ I had to stifle my laugh because everyone is sleeping on the IUD locked and LOADED comment!!!

So Nothing to report other than according to my Doctors notes I have lost 38 pounds since February! My blood pressure was Normal today! the last time I was in in FEB it was sky high like put me on some medicine HIGH! Today it was 130/74 I was psyched about that.
Can't wait to see what the LADY DOCTOR says in January when I go there! Let's hope it is Jan. TOM is late by a week! Stephens fixed adn I have nothing to worry about right??? FLIPPING OUT HERE!!!! HE even went back for his re check and there was NOTHING...... ZERO SWIMMERS. THE GENE POOL IS EMPTY! So I am over reacting RIGHT... The stress of the move is playing with my cycle right! UUUUUGGGGHHHHH! Maybe I am just counting wrong! Do you start counting from the first day or the last day of your period? Because if it's the first than I am at 35 days and by just the day of the month than it should be any time now! This is why I liked being on the pill or the patch or anything the figured it out for me!
Ok It's almost one and I need to sleep! NIGHTY NIGHT

Steph - relax.... sounds like it is a stress induced delay to me... give your body some time to get back into normal swing of things again....

OK - I am off to my day of meetings and coordination... good news is that my voice is showing signs of sticking around for a while....

talk to you all later,
Paula

 

[3DisneyKids]

LYZ--why is it that you and I are the only ones here who get it about the podcast???

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Ok. I will go listen. I don't need to be told twice.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Actually, we all secretly listen to the podcast, but we pretend not to. Just to mess with you.

Lyz. Ice your knee and go to the gym. Just do it!

My friends are here and we are hanging out in my town. Well, right now, we are sitting at my kitchen table, but soon we will be hanging out in my town. I have to totally watch the calories this weekend! I just want to follow my good loss with something - .4, .2, anything. I'll take whatever I get. Kwim?

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I used to listen every week but I had stopped but I listened today and heard a familiar voice... well not really but I got to hear some ones voice that I had never heard before!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Just back from a fan-freaking-tastic 7-mile run! In the rain, no less! Seriously, it was a great run and I feel awesome!

 

[MunkyMe13]

So ya today is gonna be a bad day... I can feel it... Like I said, chances are Will is not moving to days... I hate his company... They are totally screwing him... My weight is up .6 from yesterday which isn't terrible cuz I'm still down like 2 lbs this week (weigh in tomorrow) but it just compounds onto my already still feeling like crap... Oh ya and because of our weathers indecision my lips are hella chapped... I think I am going to take a lunch break today and go to Lush and buy some new bath bombs... That always makes me feel better.... ok well enough of my pity party... Here is what is going good:

1. I have worked out every day this week so far
2. I started a new book on the Disney Mountains
3. My 30 Day Shred is getting slightly easier which means I am getting stronger
4. Disneyland is in 15 days! I get to see a gal I went to grade school with and was BFF with in 17 days!
5. I have not cheated on my diet since Saturday
6. I am doing my walk on Saturday.

So maybe things that are good outweigh the bad... I gotta get over this funk and just keep moving forward...

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Sarah

Ok ladies, I am off to go bathing suit shopping! The trip is in less than 2 weeks and I have to have something decent to wear. I schlepped around all summer in board shorts and a tankini top and I want something real for the trip.

And I don't care what size a person is...bathing suit shopping is the worst no matter what. And my personal reality, even when I was really super thin, I never looked good in a bathing suit. Just have one of those not-made-for-swimwear type of bodies. Well, scratch that. I can wear a racing suit really well. But who wants to wear a suit like that? I was a competitive swimmer for years and over-developed my shoulders, etc. so I am built like a tank in the shoulders...and no matter what size I am, I just look odd in a normal bathing suit.

Come to think of it...maybe I should go swimsuit shopping after having had a few drinks???? That might soften the blow...

I am actually looking forward to bathing suit shopping this summer... after years of wearing basket ball shorts and tankini tops or huge 1 pieces with skirts I can only hope I can get into a cute bathing suit...

All I can say is may the body image gods be with you on your quest...

Try not to sweat the small stuff and imagine what bathing suit shopping would have been like before you became a runner....

Good luck,
Paula

Reminds me, with a month an a half left until my trip, I so need to start thinking about what clothes I need to bring.... what is the weather in Florida like in early December?

 

[amykab]

Hey Ladies,

Thanks SO much again for all your positive thoughts!!

Erika Good luck bathing suit shopping!

Paula Weather in early december is some of the best. lower 80's day, and 60's night. Of course there are always anomalies, like it being super hot or unseasonably cold, but it's not the norm.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

SO LYZ ICE THAT KNEE !!!

Your not the boss of me.

Think of it this way it's an excuse to sit and put your feet up!

Oh yeah, I think I need a magazine too!

Today i went and got my mail because I know EVERYONE forgets it's right in front of the house now and I had two cards welcoming me to my new home I got the all warm and fuzzy feeling!

That was nice. I should have send you a card. I am an idiot when it comes to things like that. Like, I never think to send flowers to a funeral till I get there and see all the others.

The mail is my job. No one else is to touch the mail. Lol. But I can sit in my car and get it, so it's not hard.

Lyz - feel free to vent whenever you need to... We are here to listen...

Thanks Paula.

PR: I can't stand Leann. She is so mousy. Really. Do something with your greasy, stringy hair. She is SO NOT a fashion designer. And her clothes. Hideous. Argh. How many wavy outfits can one person own. She should have been ousted like 6 challenges ago. I can't believe she won.

Kenley - I liked her clothes. They were pretty. Her attitude is what stunk.

Korto - best of everything. Good style. Good quality. Good attitude.

And can you believe they had Tim Gunn judge. They shouldn't have done that. It was New York Fashion Week for gosh sakes, another celebrity could have been found!!!

And EriKa - I'm too surprised you haven't been to the gyno for ages.

Duh! The Podcast! The main discussion goes up on Wednesdays and the e-mail show goes up on Thursdays.

LYZ--why is it that you and I are the only ones here who get it about the podcast???

Yes, I don't understand it either.

Ok, for those of you who don't "get" what is going on... our own Miss EriKa is on the podcast. In her sweet voice, which I totally don't expect. (Not that I'm expecting nasty, lol, it's just you are not sugary sweet to me, but your voice SO IS.) She is around minute 29:00, of the email show, dated 10/16. Whoot whoot.

Actually, we all secretly listen to the podcast, but we pretend not to. Just to mess with you.

Liz - You are HI LAR IOUS! This is so you.

Lyz. Ice your knee and go to the gym. Just do it!

My friends are here and we are hanging out in my town. Well, right now, we are sitting at my kitchen table, but soon we will be hanging out in my town. I have to totally watch the calories this weekend! I just want to follow my good loss with something - .4, .2, anything. I'll take whatever I get. Kwim?

Have fun with your friends, in your house, in your town.

I used to listen every week but I had stopped but I listened today and heard a familiar voice... well not really but I got to hear some ones voice that I had never heard before!

Why did you stop listening. I don't get it. Who doesn't want 4 gay guys, a young beautiful expecting couple and other miscellanous characters in your back pocket for laughs?

Just back from a fan-freaking-tastic 7-mile run! In the rain, no less! Seriously, it was a great run and I feel awesome!

Go EriKa. I'm glad you feel awesome! It's drizzling here in OH - IO!

Here is what is going good:

1. I have worked out every day this week so far
2. I started a new book on the Disney Mountains
3. My 30 Day Shred is getting slightly easier which means I am getting stronger
4. Disneyland is in 15 days! I get to see a gal I went to grade school with and was BFF with in 17 days!

Sarah

Sarah, your good is totally awesome. Seriously. You are beating me this week by, well, six things! lol.

Come to think of it...maybe I should go swimsuit shopping after having had a few drinks???? That might soften the blow...

I feel for you. Just remember, it might look different on you than on the hanger. You need to try on everything. And, good luck finding a swimsuit, in Maine, in October.

Ok. I had to have an ultrasound. My IUD was hiding. Couldn't take any chances. I made that Crystal Clear to my Dr. All is good, and while the ultrasound fee will suck, it won't be as bad as, lets say, A KID!

 

[MunkyMe13]

I challenge you to give me at least 5 good things going for you right now... In fact I think its a good challenge for everyone... It definitely helped my day...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I challenge you to give me at least 5 good things going for you right now... In fact I think its a good challenge for everyone... It definitely helped my day...

Good idea Sarah.

1. I'm still not pregnant.
2. I had a good doctor appt and don't have to go back for a year.
3. Malcolm in the Middle is on.
4. I already know what I'm making for dinner. (Which is 50% of my day.)
5. I love this thread and my new friends.
