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

[lisaviolet]

Okay. Done. Thank you.

And I know you are serious. Only laughing cause you do a good job at chewing out and making points pronto.

 

[lisaviolet]

Hi Lisa,

Oh my gosh, my grandma had spices left from the good ole days when she passed.

Don't joke with me Amiee. Oh, I know you're not joking and neither am I.

I ate the whole piece. I was hungry and it was personally brought down to me. And Jean's a good cook so I wasn't prepared for the strangeness of it all.

Nick says the same thing about me, but not as nicely.

And you are right, I am not a fattie. And need to shut it.

Oh! MY SIL. OMG. Such a mess. I'll be on IM later, I just don't want to talk about it too much on the thread, kwim? He's leaving her, basically, and every little step is another huge blow to her.

So sorry Liz. That's difficult.

Ummm can you actually give someone a crown for a gain? I will have a gain. It was a lot of food. And my period. Double trouble I say.

I don't think so Liz. She loves dancing and adores competitive volleyball but still talks about singing. So who knows. She's in grade nine. Or ninth grade to you guys.

Her brother is going to Paula's town next year. He got an engineering scholarship to RPI. He deferred for a year because he wanted to play hockey. So he's in Boston playing rep. He didn't know what to take but mom is an engineer so I suppose he picked that. It's hard to know what you want at that age, eh?

Lisa - a relative of yours is going to be near me soon.... love that... you must come down and visit so we can meet...

Hi gang -

Made it through another session. Can't type too well since Jesse upped my weights and my arms are seriously fighting me right now since they are so tired. I am beat and am heading to bed.

Liz - sending you hugs because it sounds like you need them right now...
Amy - good luck getting over the post race funk...

Love to everyone else...

Paula

My American niece is case you're wondering and if you are Nancy afraid to ask. Colombian mother, Canadian father = American niece and nephew. America! America!

I *was* wondering how your niece was singing at the inaugration. Congrats to her! And to Jean. And to you.

I understand the funk. Probably not like the runners do. I am sure they have words of wisdom for you.

I totally understand. Once I've completed my goal....focus can be really tricky. And finding your "groove" again...not always easy.

I so wanted a bike ( I have one but isn't good for my height) in the Spring. Used to visit one weekly in the store. Yes, that's what one does when jobs are frustrating visit wants and say hi. And I knew that things were tight and who knew what was coming. Responsible for sure - but I think that bike would have taken away so much stress. So go for it.

Love my bike. Love, love, love my bike. Can't wait for warm weather.

Today was a perfect day (in terms of food and exercise):

And...no wine, right?

Honestly, answer me this. Is it about the scale? Do only losses get recognition?

God, I hope not.

And you are right, I am not a fattie. And need to shut it.

That's right. Shut it.

Oh! MY SIL. OMG. Such a mess. I'll be on IM later, I just don't want to talk about it too much on the thread, kwim? He's leaving her, basically, and every little step is another huge blow to her.

So sorry, Liz.

Food for today: 28 points. NO WINE. (putting a sticker in my journal )

Exericse: run. TM. Just over 5 miles + stretching. 60 minutes total 900/1500

Have a 7:00am appt with the trainer tomorrow. Hoping she remembers that we wanted to do body fat testing. Also hoping that she forgets we want to do body fat testing 'cause while I want to know, I'm not sure I *want* to know

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Paula - whoo hoo trainer! Dawn is right, we have your song down.

Nancy - whoo hoo no wine!!!

Get your fat measured. It will be cool. I swear.

 

[lisaviolet]

Okay - I phoned. And got the clearer scoop.

My niece is at one of the balls tonight in DC. But she (they) sang yesterday twice at inauguration festivities they had at John Hopkins. And they all have tickets, or whatever they need, for tomorrow. That's not how the letter read. I was psyched to see her. My brother joked that they all have to wear red scarves for school. Like I can find her in a crowd of millions.

Her school is Rosary High School in Fullerton, California.

But still - lucky her. What a memory.

Yes Paula my nephew will be in Troy next year. He deferred his scholarship because he so wanted to be scouted for hockey for RPI. He adores hockey.

Nancy - calipers or water weighing. I so want to know.

Liz - going to try to find you on IM.

I'll have to start going to RPI hockey games again....

I'll keep my eyes open for your niece tomorrow...

Oh! I have a song for Nancy! I will have to send it to you, Liz!

And Nancy...nope, not a drop.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

I'm thinking of you guys. TLS just promoted -

A Very Duggar Wedding.

I wish they showed it over here. Actually, scratch that - their website scared me so I don't want to see it in real life!

Hi Amiee. Thanks.

Jean and I are laughing so hard. She just brought down chicken she made. And I said "interesting seasoning - what is it?" She says, "I don't know I put on whatever was in your mom's cupboard".

So laughing. "Jean! It could be from the sixties for all we know!!"

Oh no. Pray for me.

My mother never throws things like that out. OH NO!!!

My gran is the same - every time I go to visit her and my grandad I check the cupboards and the fridge - they are hoarders

Nick says the same thing about me, but not as nicely.

And you are right, I am not a fattie. And need to shut it.

Yep, shut it!

Oh Liz, Im sorry

Oh! I have a song for Nancy! I will have to send it to you, Liz!

And Nancy...nope, not a drop.

Did I miss everyones songs? I hope not!

to everyone

Im going to do my Disco Dance exercise dvd - yep, in the middle of the day. If the neighbours are lucky I'll close the curtains, or I might live dangerously and leave them open

Then, I'm going to have lunch and watch the Inauguration. Very exciting!
After that, the man is coming to fix the hole in my wall

Lisa - very cool about your niece!

Lyz - you are a saint! I remember being a teenage girl.....I don't know how you managed it!

Have a great day everyone

lol Are you ok today???

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning!

I am on fire these days and it feels SO good. Not only with working my program, but I was up early, got the kids to the bus on time without any screaming, made beds and prepped dinner so that I can just pop it in the oven later.

And now I am actually going to WORK so that I don't have to stay up half the night doing it.

Great days to all--

 

[adsrtw]

Hi Everybody! I hope all is well today or if it isn't, I hope you find the strength to vent about it.

Agh! I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Anybody want to give me a kick in the right direction?? Sore and cranky = stay away. I hate when I get this way.

I am happy to say that I have only had 1 soda each day since Saturday. The bad part is that I really haven't replaced it with anything. I'm walking around with a huge bottle of ice water and I have yet to take more than 20 sips. Maybe that's why I am a little cranky?

The local detox is bad bad bad, so I am staying away. They require a 500 calorie diet while doing this. Um, no. I enjoy eating, thank you very much. Sad thing is, I bet loads and loads of people try it.

There is a little snow and ice on the ground, so I am taking Ryan to school. He isn't too happy about that, but he will get over it. Off to get dressed for work ~ another casual day!

 

[goofyfan-12]

I am loving it when Erika is on... Makes me want to stay on program as well...

Feeling a bit better this morning. Still a little sore, but in a good way - I think...

In my exhaustion last night, forgot to post that I lost 1.4 pounds this week. So freaking excited about that... Officially hit the 40 pounds lost in the Jenny Craig system (I had lost some weight on my own before joining). On to the next ten pounds lost right...

OK - I am going to be a little scarce during the days. Big brother is monitoring internet usage and I don't want to be labeled an abuser... Have a great day everyone and I'll talk to you soon.

Paula

Erika and LisaPR - I'll be thinking of you both today. One of my college girl friends is in town for business and she is from Maine. She grew up in Portland and now lives in Waterboro. So we will be talking about Maine tonight...

Look at you Paula! Great Job!

Off to work, see ya 12 hours from now.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Made it through another session.

YAY! I'm lovin' working with the trainer. You still lovin' it too?

Get your fat measured. It will be cool. I swear.

We talked about it again this morning. I think she's going to do it Thursday. Electronic callipers? I duuno - she said "callipers" but she also said something about "not pinching"...so I'll let you know for sure once it's done. Measurements also. She wants to measure...calves, thighs, hips, waist, chest, biceps & neck

Oh! I have a song for Nancy! I will have to send it to you, Liz!

I'm really curious....and a little scared

And Nancy...nope, not a drop.

good for us!

Im going to do my Disco Dance exercise dvd - yep, in the middle of the day. If the neighbours are lucky I'll close the curtains, or I might live dangerously and leave them open

Have fun dancing I have a funny dancing story...I'll share in a little while..

I'm totally ROCKING my plan this week as well. Ok. So it's only Tuesday. But I feel like I've turned a corner and physically I feel good...so that helps the whole mental *thing* as well .

The local detox is bad bad bad, so I am staying away. They require a 500 calorie diet while doing this. Um, no. I enjoy eating, thank you very much. Sad thing is, I bet loads and loads of people try it.

I'm always a bit suspicious of those things....and the body wrap? How can that really be good for you? And I'm sure it's not true weight loss..

In my exhaustion last night, forgot to post that I lost 1.4 pounds this week.

AWESOME GO PAULA!!!

Ok, that is just plain SCARY! I am not ready for that yet. Do you know anything about those scales that say they not only read weight but also body composition? Can these possibly be accurate?
good for us!

I KNOW!

This is EXACTLY how I am feeling. Like, I just KNOW that I am on and going to stay on. It's all mental. Like the long run, kwim?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Lisa - Ive just seen a choir singing wearing red hats and scarves - Is that what you said your niece would be wearing? They were very very good!
