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

[3DisneyKids]

No, not dress-up fleece! That is only for special!

And really? You need to ask? Bean's. Duh.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

YES! I use allrecipes.com as well. LOVE it.

And LYZ...it prints the recipes for you! Click. Print. Done. Love it.

And nutritional values.


So. My daughter had her Middle School Band concert tonight. I have just 2 words.

PAIN. FUL.

Our M.S. is 7th and 8th grades. Each has it's own band. The 7th grade? Yikes. At one point I told hubby that I felt we needed to embrace their individuality. As in - each of them playing in their own key, with their own tempo My boys were dying. I was wishing for ear plugs. God, was it horrendous.

The 8th grade was MUCH better. dd is in 8th, mercifully! so we didn't have to mock her, just the other kids We truly are not a very kind family

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Takes one to know one!

I know you are, but what am I?


Seriously, how do you do it? I am so impressed! Not only do you not eat the kitchen, but after cooking all day for work you then go home and cook for the family! I could never do it!


Yeah. Is it any wonder I have such a hard time kicking these last few pounds?

Ok, so here's the thing. This is MAINE, right? We need fleece. It is a staple. And all fleece are not created equal, oh no. You have your everyday fleece (for wearing inside, like it was a sweatshirt or something), then you have your outdoor fleece, there is fleece for sleeping, fitness fleece, and then dress-up fleece. Lisa/PR, help me out here!

Yeah. She's right about fleece. And flannel.

I'll have you know that I am currently ensconced in fleece...pants, socks, top. So happy.

Flannel for me. Vermont Flannel Company. OMG the best flannel in the entire world.

Yep Liz. You, Stacey & Clinton. All people who would be horrified by my current attire should I suddenly decide I need to run out for milk

 

[HockeyKat]

I am so an experimenter with food. I love trying out different things and making my own recipes. Low-cal (or any dietary restriction) just makes it more fun, somehow. Yeah, I know, weird.

Nancy, oh my yes. Middle school band concert. Too bad they don't have the eardrum rupturing smilie when you need it.

Oh, and I HATE pastrami. Yuck.

Dress up fleece? I am still waiting for links on that one.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

No, not dress-up fleece! That is only for special!

And really? You need to ask? Bean's. Duh.

Email with links. I want to see the levels of fleece. I am serious!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Yes! Dress fleece! As in I wear it to CHURCH. And I am the minister's daughter! With black dress pants and great shoes. I am in a conference now (it is going slowly, obviously) so no links for a while. But I will see if I can find one.

OMG! 7 pages again. You guys are killing me.

Long day at work ~ made worse by being stuck in an elevator for 45 mins.

Well, I will be back sometime.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Well I moved past my lack of motivation and worked out! Thats 4 out of 4 days so far this week... Lets see if I make it tomorrow!

Whoo Hoo Sarah... That is awesome!

I've never had pastrami either. Such a sheltered life I lead

read that too fast. Thought you were saying your mom is a crack pot

There are times when I think that, but she really isn't. I got lucky with the parent lottery and have two of the best parents that anyone could ask for.


Funny. I was just thinking about Lyz's little piggies. Will there be more piglets this spring, Lyz?


Chicken. I have a million ways to cook chicken. Chicken Picatta? Lemon Chicken Pasta? Do you ever use the websites allrecipes.com or foodnetwork.com? I live by them

Don't forget about epicurious.com. That is another great place to look for things that are different.

Stuck for 45 minutes! Yikes!!!! Glad you are out and safe. Catch up when you can.

 

[adsrtw]

I get my hair cut at a hairdressing school in the city. Aveda Institute. Aveda is international, right?

Anyway, it's great. There are two levels - the academy and the institure (which is the beginners). Today I was upstairs with the beginners. $18 buckaroos!!!!!

And I find the whole process, teacher guiding them, so flippin' fascinating. So it's like I'm entertained as well.

Can't beat that price! Yes, Aveda is here too.

Stuck for 45 minutes! Yikes!!!! Glad you are out and safe. Catch up when you can.

The only good part was that I had a book with me, lol.

 

[adsrtw]

BTW, my daughter's best friend is over. They moved right before Christmas, haven't seen each other in two months. It's so nice to see them together. I hope this kid is around when she's 14, 18, 25. I want to see her grown-up, too.

(The friend, not my kid. But mine, too.)

That's sweet!

 

[amykab]

Speaking of fleece, have you guys seen the Snuggie? The blanket with sleeves? I see the commercial ALL the time. Something about it just makes me

 

[adsrtw]

I am so tempted to take the day off and drive down so I can spend part of the day with you. My family is less than thrilled that I won't be home that night since it is such an important holiday and all (there will be 20 people at my house for corned beef and cabbage and I won't be there).

Let me think about it and I'll let you know.

If not that day, then we will have to pick a day to get together. I'm sure I'll be needing a mental health day at somepoint soon.

Talk to you later...

BTW - hope I can afford your personal shopper rates...

Oh Paula, missing out on the grub! Corned beef + cabbage = HEAVEN

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

You guys are cracking me UP! Fleece from head to toe! Let me guess, is that your bed sheets too?

No, not dress-up fleece! That is only for special!

And really? You need to ask? Bean's. Duh.

Dress up fleece!!! OMG!!! Dress up fleece=Beans=expensive. There you have it. If you buy it at beans, it's considered dress up.

Yes, we will be fostering 2 of the little pigs again this year.

Duke is still in the freezer. I can't cook him or eat him.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

YIKES! Whenever I hear of people getting stuck there, all I can think about is the fact that I *know* if something like that happened to me, I would immediately decide that I had to pee. It just wouldn't be pretty






Checking in. Like it or not - today, not so much.

Food: 31 points. Yep. High. PMS'ing, and loads of exercise minutes this week have led to an increase in appetite. <sigh>

Alcohol:none

Water: probably not enough.

Exercise: another 90 minute day. I had a training session this morning where we did a full body strength workout. Then I hit the TM to test out a new pair of running shoes. Liked them. So my "quick test" turned into a nice run. Total for challenge: 345/2100. And that's all this week (as in Mon-Thurs). I'm tired. (surprise, surprise) Headed to bed.

 

[amykab]

Check in for today:

C25K x 2
Tracked (well I wrote down everything, need to look up some of the calories)
No booze
Plenty of water

 

[goofyfan-12]

argh... lost my post!!! Hate it when that happens.

Let's see what was I talking about???

Made it through another workout with Jesse. We worked on real squats today, you know the ones with the real weights on your shoulders. Those are harder than they look, but I made it through. I really need to work on my shoulders though. I am getting better on the shoulder presses, but the front and side raises are killing me. Patience. That is what I keep telling myself.

I am off to raid my closet to find an outfit for Saturday, get ready for tomorrow and then get some sleep.

Talk to you all in the morning,
Paula

I just got back awhile ago from a blissful solo trip to the grocery store, and I bought boca burgers and the veg. hotdogs. This should balance out the meat posts!!

I just adore shopping trips alone! I swear it takes twice as long with kids in tow.

ME Too!
