Sarah - how was your workout? Did you manage to get it in?
My new running shoes came today! Is it weird that I am so excited for them? OMG, I love my Sauconys.
I got mine the other day. I ended up ordering 2 pairs. One New Balance (which I always, always wear. always) and a pair of Asics, just for ha ha's. Well guess what. The NB had some wonky thing goin' on in the toe, which is unacceptable - and the Asics? perfect.
Oh! Big news on that! My MOM is going to do the tri with me! Isn't that awesome? She will have to walk the 5k, but her pace is very good. Easily a 14 mpm walking pace. Maybe even better. (She walks at like 4.3-ish.) And here is the scary part...she is going to kick my a$$ on the swim! She swam half a mile today in 23 minutes. She is 69 and made of awesome. (Liz, I love that phrase and use it all the time. And don't give you credit.
I am totally going to get one of those shirts:
Race Registration - $65.00
Gym Membership - $400.00
New running shoes - $120.00
Doing a triathlon with my mom - PRICELESS
I'm actually headed to bed soon. I know. Friday night and I'm O.U.T. I really pushed myself very hard this week physically, and didn't get enough sleep. As soon as my angel food cake comes out of the oven, it's off to night night land for me.
Awesome on the workouts!
We had asparagus tonight. YUM. Roasted it with garlic and a touch of cayenne.
No AIM for me.
I can just see you folding your arms and refusing. So funny.
I love the way you call them sproglets.
I can tell you one thing, if you did get a chest, the first time you went for a run you would HATE it!!I have a chest (C/D) but it is just the extra weight I am carrying. Once I get down to my goal weight, I will go back to barely filling a B again most likely.
But seriously, I totally agree with you on the if I can't do it on my own and earn it, I don't want it.
I am on day 5 now of trying this low carb/low cal thing in the effort to help Mr Kat. So far I am not really hating it too badly. It is making me change my habits some, but that is probably a good thing. I think that once the month is up, I will add in some high fiber whole grains as well. I am doing some of that now but trying to keep carbs around 20. Sparkpeople actually has a carb count for low carb diets column, which is a bonus.
One nice thing about trying a new approach is that it feels fresh. Like, there are different combinations of things I can eat, and honestly, it actually gets me really excited at the possiblities of trying them all. Like, the spaghetti squash of last night or the tofu noodles... what other yummy things can I make?
Oh, and FWIW... sweet = carb. Just sayin'.
Regularly. I don't use lifts because I repel all things electrical. Its not worth the hassle getting stuck in a lift! I use escalators because if they stop you can just walk up them like a stair case!
I should really tell you about the time I electrocuted myself with the lawn mower
OK, Core is done. so 2/2 this week.
Also, I signed up for a 10K next weekend!! I need to do a long run anyhow, and this run benefits the ronald mcdonald house at the childrens hospital here.
Delena and I are off to get some valentines!
And here is vintage delena from last year...
It's ok. Really it is. We both mock me. It's all in jest.
I need to ask permission to drink. Really. I think I may need a glass of wine tonight. PLEASE?
Report card issue. I am over-the-edge angry with one certain 10th grader in my home.
Oh gosh yes, pre-packed stuff is a saviour! I am constantly throwing in carrot/celery packs in my bag.
The noodles have been a joy. I am making up for 6 months of good carb eating this week, lol. I only did the super low carb diet for 2 weeks, then progressed to whole grains. It was tough at first, but became a piece of cake.
Oh Kelly, you can't be doing that!
Fantastic job!
How adorable!
OMG! I think you need a hall pass! Flannel thongs??? Wow.
Well I have lost quite a few quotes again.
Hi Everybody ~ especially the ones I didn't quote! Not ignoring, promise! I need a blackberry so I can sneak on once in a while during the day.
I love the picture! I might stick my face over Bellas
Me too. I don't understand!
36A checking in for duty. Im sure it would be easier to go bra-less than find an A cup nowadays!
Electrocution by Lawn Mower:
Picture the scene - boiling hot day (I remember it well, it was one of 4 hot days we had last year
It blasted the lawn mower out of my hands, and left me with a lovely red mark up my arm and a little scorch mark on my hand. Worst part, when the wire cut it whipped up and hit me on the bummocks and left a mark
DH rang NHS direct to see if there was a particular cream they recommended to put on electrical burns - they sent an ambulance!
Now, I don't mow the lawn anymore
Courgette is zucchini, right?
Dressy fleece - don't be confused. There's no such thing. Tooth Fairy = Dressy Fleece.
Love it!
OMG. You're Bella's mom. You repel all things electronic!
I am stunned you are okay after that incident. Lucky? Or not?
Kat, that is just fabulous!!! Way to go!!!
I'm glad you celebrated. You deserve to.
I could freak out over the scale. But I can't. Because I am NOT a number. Would I love to lose? Yes. But I have to do something for that, and I"m not doing enough, so I'm not going to judge myself but be gentle. I do what I can, and I move on.
I'm sorry you're so upset about the measurement. It's just another measure, it's not you. You will get where you want to be. Journey, not destination. Right? Hugs.
Ok, see? You acknowledge they are "dressy WORKOUT clothes". This I can buy. Fleece-lined bra? For running?
And what is this Athleta? I love the concept of workout clothes. New ones. Whee!
Kat, there is no such thing as dressy fleece. Tooth Fairy! Sasquatch!
Yes, I like to think I'd be happy at a size 2, no matter what. But it's all relative, as you say. I just want to be back to where I was before Christmas. I just want to feel happy. For more than a day or two.
WORD, sister-girl.
Oh, thank God for you, Lisa Z. Seriously, I was in dire need of a corned beef, Katz loving friend on this thread!
Your grandpa works at a bookstore? Runs one? Tell me more.
Sigh. Best job EVER.
OMG that would be my dream job!
OMG. Flannel undies? WTH?
A thong no less?!?
I am out of my league here.
I so see Erika and her bedazzler. So funny.
Love what you said about schools. So true.
Thank you, Kat. Flannel undies. Dress fleece. I am spinning in my fashion grave over here.
Yes, you get a drink. Go for it.
You do sound like me. Except for the fleece stuff.
Um, YES. YES. YES. Me, too.
Um, a lot here. Just acknowledging that I am reading this, Nancy. And Erika already bought a VB. It only takes about six months of knowing me to start craving them.
Sarah, you have a cool degree, don't you? Isn't it interesting? Asian Studies? Why is is useless?
Lyz, thank you for today. SOOOO much.
Thanks for the congrats.
I love the no-nonsense approach. LOVE it.
Yay, someone with sense. Bedazzled dress fleece, flannel undies...
Maybe I am weird, but I wear pants, jeans, tops, sweaters? And undies that are microfiber? No fleece, no flannel.
Oh, and I have known you longer than 6 mos, and have NO desire to buy a VB.
I am so tired tonight, may just veg on the couch with a book. Long week.
My new running shoes came today! Is it weird that I am so excited for them? OMG, I love my Sauconys.
I am going to head out tomorrow for my long run. In new shoes. I am not too worried, as these are the same make/model as my current ones. But boy did I need a new pair! It is always so deceiving. My old ones LOOK fine and they even FEEL fine. That is until I put on one old shoe and one new. And the difference! Then again, I have put like 500+ miles on the old ones.
My tri stuff came in the mail today and J was like, "You're doing a tri?!?! Don't you think you should have told me?" Listen much? Sheesh.
Oh! Big news on that! My MOM is going to do the tri with me! Isn't that awesome? She will have to walk the 5k, but her pace is very good. Easily a 14 mpm walking pace. Maybe even better. (She walks at like 4.3-ish.) And here is the scary part...she is going to kick my a$$ on the swim! She swam half a mile today in 23 minutes. She is 69 and made of awesome. (Liz, I love that phrase and use it all the time. And don't give you credit.

Ok, to set the record straight...I have never Bedazzled anything in my life. Ever. I am not crafty. I don't scrapbook either. Or bake (aside from the ocassional birthday cake for my kids, which really Karen does and I stand there and watch so that I can say I did it...my friend Karen is a professional baker). I used to quilt, but then had kids, etc. Now I am hard-pressed to sew a button on.
Ok, off to see if I can find a link to my dress fleece!
