In Search of my Body...Not The One I Ate.. #4 "Inspiring Others... 1 Tiara at a Time"

[amykab]

Hi Sarah, The challenge is just setting certain goals from now until March 15th I think.

Like mine are (and you don't have to have this many)

1. Track 3 days a week
2. No alcohol except for noted exceptions
3. Couch to 5K 3X a week, 1 long run a week through March 1st and strength/core 2X a week
4. 5 lb weight loss

Erika is keeping track of it all and for January if you met at least one of your goals, you got the goddess crown some of us have in our sig.

 

[MunkyMe13]

AH... Now I get it...

OK here are my challenge goals then:

1. Track 5 days a week at least.
2. Workout 4 days a week at least.
3. Drink at least 10 cups of water a day (EVEN ON WEEKENDS!)

So far for this week starting Monday I have done each every day so far

Sarah - I will dig out a picture of the shoes tonight when I get home. They are fabulous pumps with a black and cream giraffe print on them. I absolutely adore them. They were a reward for hitting my 25 pounds lost mark way back when.

Hmm.. what should my reward be for hitting my 50 pounds lost mark??? I'll have to think about that one.

Oh - Amy, thanks for reminding me. I need to go and claim my tiara for my signature from last month's challenge.

I told my DH I wanted a pair of Christian Laboutins when I hit my 100 lbs lost mark and he told me no LOL! Granted they are like 500-700 but they are hot!

Greetings from Nj, where we don't pump our own gas.

Nope, no cold for me. We pull up, hand them the card, and they pump it for us. Creates jobs and is a safety measure. Plus, our gas is cheaper than our neighboring states - NY, PA, CT.



Paula - nice jeans but not too nice. Not the evening at a club jeans, just the nice seeing-girlfriends- jeans. Dress boots but not too dressy. Pretty but casual shirt. Send me links if you want specific advice.

Erika does have a soul - Edward is a vampire and he has one! Carlise says so.

I want an Edward sig. Someone help me. I could never get one to link. Please? Them walking into the school? Them in his room? The never seen waterfall footage? Anything?

Concert was really good last night. I wish I could go tonight. Also, I really wish I had money and could go this weekend, like I had planned. Alas. It sucks right now, money wise. SUCKS. I so need a job. And, like, some sweet check from some long-lost relative's inheritance.

I love going to shows with Nick. It has been the thing we have in common, what keeps us together. Music.

Totally agree on Paula. Isn't having Liz for a friend nice??

And, I said lack of soul, because I am still not convinced she hasn't sold hers.

So what I did well yesterday - at a mall again - brought with snacks and asked for info on nutrition before I made my choice - turned down places with no nutrition info and passed high calorie stuff that would not fill me or fit my craving.

I could add some more calories to the day because I made the Bacon & ranch salad and added mayo - 1/2 cup for 2 boxes and 3/4 block of cheese plus a bag of carrots chopped and a bag of french green beans. I had only a cup of it and it was really good and the kids ate it with all the extra veggoes in there as well. Even with the extra calories there was room for it in my day and overall I say a much better day then before.

Working on it..

today - 1 deviled egg for B-fast, boca sausage and 1 1/2 servings of green beans & a cup of frozen pineapple. Doing great...

I am tax choking as well...will post all of my replies later - but from last night -
Paula is on da prowl?!! Watch out girls...we may be in for a ride!

Seriously Paula - you deserve the best guy only!

Amy, do they look wonky to you? They look wonky to me! What did I do wrong? AMISH! AMISH!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

It is too early in the day for the infamous giraffe print shoes... pity. They totally rock.

Talk to you all later,
Paula

They sound fabulous. I love shoes more than I love ice cream.

I told my DH I wanted a pair of Christian Laboutins when I hit my 100 lbs lost mark and he told me no LOL! Granted they are like 500-700 but they are hot!

Ooh, Christian Laboutins - the stuff dreams are made of!

Erika / Liz - I can't see your Edward pictures! Im not sure if its my home computer - I'll have a look at work tomorrow if I ever get there. Im sure they are hot!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Liz - I can't see ALL of the twilight pics only the top. You have such a large signature with all your trips and tickers. You've exceeded your space. Log off and look, you'll see what "we" see. Unless it's just my monitor space.

Oh I know!! I want plain black ones with the rounded toe!

Thats how I see it too...

 

[amykab]

Liz-try putting everything in one line in your sig. Paste them right next to your weight loss ticker. They should fit and you should be able to see the whole picture.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Amy - do you know I can't see your whole twilight pic and your tiara? But I'm not sure if it's my monitor. Cause sometimes I can see everthing.

 

[amykab]

lyz-that's weird. .I can always see all of it and I can even see it on my crackberry when I have the signatures turned on..

 

[Dizneydawn]

First off - I am sorry for not addressing this sooner! Sarah and Heather...HI!

I am going top get mean eyes on me....but it is 35 degrees today and 42 degrees for tom predicted! I am wearing shorts. No joke. Taking Ace for a long walk today.

Busy with scholarship stuff with Treyner and the tax crud. No fun!

Little D is SO feeling better. I judge this by how many toys she took out today. Monday and Tuesday hardly anything. just things that she could sit with me and do, like magnadoodle and aquadoodle, books. Today, she had everything out, and it was all over the place. She likes to dump and run. Dump all the puzzles on the floor. Dump the container of play food. She did not nap at all today and crashed early.

Yeah for better days!

hahahahahaha - that was fun. I am SO not pregnant and will never be, ever again. Even my next husband, nope.


Ummm..Lucy...you have some splainin to do!

Lisa - Thanks... you made be blush...
Things are definitely clicking right now. Can't explain it, but they are. As excited as I am, it totally is freaking me out all at the same time. I find it strange that someone finds me attractive. I find it strange that I am loving going to the gym. I find it strange that I am liking the changes in my body instead of hating them. I find it strange that for once in my life, I am not solely focused on work and my career. These are all such new elements in my life that it is just plain strange. I am so far outside of my comfort zone that I might as well be on Mars right now. But at the same time, as strange as it feels, it is a good strange - if that makes any sense. Of course, I am still waiting for the other shoe named rejection, defeat, etc. to drop, but I am not looking over my shoulder nearly as often as I used to.
Paula - I am so glad for you. I can't even begin to tell you how much I have a feeling that this is your year. Maybe not this guy...maybe so...but totally your year!
Erika - Shh.. don't tell Donna. She doesn't even know about this guy yet.... (dating is one topic that we really don't talk a lot about - strange I know) So, yes - you all will be the first to know how things go.
We are teacher's pets!!!
Paula

Hmm.. what should my reward be for hitting my 50 pounds lost mark??? I'll have to think about that one.
I say a facial or a spa day or something just for you...eyebrows tinted, eyelash extension..something just to spoil you since you deserve it!

Greetings from Nj, where we don't pump our own gas.
Lucky suckers!
Nope, no cold for me. We pull up, hand them the card, and they pump it for us. Creates jobs and is a safety measure. Plus, our gas is cheaper than our neighboring states - NY, PA, CT.

What a good idea!

Concert was really good last night. I wish I could go tonight. Also, I really wish I had money and could go this weekend, like I had planned. Alas. It sucks right now, money wise. SUCKS. I so need a job. And, like, some sweet check from some long-lost relative's inheritance.
Can you call up the relatives you are not too fond of and ask how they are feeling? Or is that too forward?
I love going to shows with Nick. It has been the thing we have in common, what keeps us together. Music.

Keeping the love alive through the beat of the drum...so romantic...almost as good as a vampire...how's his skin in the sun? Sparkely? No? Is he willing to wear sparkle dust perhaps?

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Totally agree on Paula. Isn't having Liz for a friend nice??

And, I said lack of soul, because I am still not convinced she hasn't sold hers.

Aww honey. Thank you. I feel sad, you made me feel better.


And yes. She may have sold her soul. Hmmm. Interesting. We must investigate. She is either a vampire or she has sold her soul. Hmm.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Amy - do you know I can't see your whole twilight pic and your tiara? But I'm not sure if it's my monitor. Cause sometimes I can see everthing.

You can see everything when you take off your chocolate goggles. Just lending a helping hand. That helped me!

Mine are Nine West and cost about $75. I have tried on Manolo's at the outlets, but could never justify spending $250 (outlet price) on a pair of shoes I can only wear sparingly. They were really comfy though.

Liz - I love the whole full service station thing about NJ. I really miss my trips there for that reason (and the fact that I can't get together with you while I am there).

Totally agree on Paula. Isn't having Liz for a friend nice??

Love that...

And, I said lack of soul, because I am still not convinced she hasn't sold hers.

Liz - thanks for the clothing advice. I'll scope out the options in the closet and see what I can find. I am calling you if I need help (which is likely since I don't have many fun clothes options)...

Kelly - Shoes are pretty awesome aren't they. I don't get to wear the cool girlie shoes often because of my job so I really love it when I can wear them.

Today is dragging by. Don't want to be at work and yet there is so much for me to do here.... Not a good place to be....

Anytime.

Vampiric, sold her soul, or both? Although E as a vampire wouldn't really work... I mean, how does a vegetarian drink animal blood? Somehow I don't think fish blood would be very satisfying.
