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

[AKASnowWhite]

Love it, Nancy. It's like when they tell you to scoop your abs, and you're like, that IS scooped! It's as scooped as I get!

Yep. My six-pack IS there. It's just being well insulated in the cooler!

Ok, truth time. A few years ago--actually 2 years ago almost to the day--I was hit by a car (as a pedestrian). Shattered my knee cap and ripped my quad. Meaning, the quad ripped from the bone. It was in a parking lot and a very senior man was backing up, so he was going slowly, thank God. I went into shock almost instantly and because of that jumped right up, told the oldster I was fine, etc. He was far more shaken up than I was at that time. After assuring him I was fine, I actually jumped in my car and started driving off. About two minutes later, I was pouring sweat and shaking all over. That was when I finally realized I was hurt. I was only about a 5 minute drive from the hospital, so I drove myself.

Once I was out of a cast, I obviously needed lots and lots of PT. I told my PT on day one to only schedule me in the mornings because there should not be any kids around during my sessions because I WILL swear. Not might. Will. Lots. And loudly. I also told him that these lovelies would be directed at him and not to take it personally. And there were MANY times when he said something along the lines of "Ok, one more set now..." and I would always respond with "You better hope to hell you are wearing a cup!"

So yeah, Nancy pretty much nailed that one, eh?

HOLY CRAP!


OMG. I do NOT know what is wrong with me. I'm laughing. Actually laughing right out loud. Not because of your injury. No. That is the furthest thing from funny But the therapist. Combat pay. That's what they will need

I'm the same way though. Told the PT how much I hated her constantly. May have told you this when it happened, but one day the pain was so intense I screamed for an epidural

 

[3DisneyKids]

Paula--woo hoo about the jeans! That is awesome! Such a great feeling. But I am not surprised. You have been posting losses every week for like ever!

Liz--you are actually convincing me on the Wii. You know I am anit-video game units, but I think that even I would love playing on this.

Nancy--we don't do "not it," we always "shoot it out." OMG, J and I did this for years when they were all in diapers. One of them would need changing and we would just look at each other and one of us would say "odds or evens?" Now the kids do it.

Oh and Nancy--yes, isn't that convenient the way I figured out how to go around the little no alcohol thing??? Me likey the vic-y. (I'm on vicodin.)

Amiee--love hearing about this little "thing" with car guy and watching it unfold.

Of course you drove yourself to the hospital. I would expect nothing less.

He probably enjoyed the abuse. Those PT's tend to like being yelled at, lol.

Epidural, that is classic. Oh combat pay ~ they gotta bill the insurance company for that and not E.

Time for my daily check-in.

Food: 31 points. On the high side - but totally honest. Even the chocolate chips that I ate. (Ghiradhelli milk chocolate )

Alcohol: none

Exercise: strength/cardio combo - 75 minutes. Total 645/2100.



Totally unrelated here - the news is on. And they just showed some of the a$$holes from the Peanut Corp. of America. Can you BELIEVE that they knowingly and willfully distributed products that tested positive for Salmonella? They should be force-fed their own poisoned peanut products. I hope they rot in jail.

 

[3DisneyKids]

I hear ya on the peanut people, Nancy! They are right up there with the fertility doc who implanted SIX embryos in the woman with the octoplets. Did he confuse a uterus with a gumball machine???

I completely agree with you. Total a-holes.

My day wasn't the easiest. I had an update with a rep today that didn't go like I expected. It was one where he/she was not performing to his/her ability. This person is able to do the job, just not doing it. I wasn't mean at all ~ I swear. Just laid it on the line that improvement is a must ASAP. This person would not look at me at all, then I saw a tear. Agh! I have never made any of my peeps cry. I'm giving this person until lunch tomorrow to let me know what kind of help this person wants from me. After that, I will start saying what kind of help he/she will be getting.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Thank you, I will pass.

Yeah Paula!!!!

As far as car repair goes, I'm trying really hard not to be a total girl. Trying to hide from that little butterfly. But, whatever happens, happens.

That is a great attitude to have for something like this. I really am happy that you are enjoying this and willing to share the story with us.

Yep. My six-pack IS there. It's just being well insulated in the cooler!

Is that where mine is hiding????

Yikes about the accident - glad you are all right, but I am not the least bit suprised about the way you treated your PT. I would expect nothing less from you.

I swear with the best of them at the gym. Jesse of course gives it right back so no hazard pay required there. Only got embarrassed once when we were chatting away and as I turned I noticed one of the elders from my church sitting at one of the machines we were next to. This guy has seen me pretty much since birth so I was mortified. Oh well.

Nancy - first off Ghiradhelli chocolate rules. The drinking chocolate they sell at Downtown Disney should be illegal it is so good.

Yes, the guys from that peanut company should be fed nothing but they own tainted product. They have to go to jail because what they did was truly evil and criminal.

 

[adsrtw]

Evil ~ that is a great word for them.

Quick drive by, got stuck in a bit late at work and then needed to go shopping, ate dinner, and wow it's late and y'all were chatty!

Checking in, made all 4 of my tracking goals.

 

[princessrunner]

Morning everyone. Sorry I missed yesterday. I guess you all understand about being busy too.

Erika, nice job on the swim and sorry about the hammy thing. I hope it heals quickly for you.

Paula, super congrats on the jeans and dropping a whole size. Have I told you lately that you rock!! You are doing so well with the trainer, he is CLEARLY worth the money.

Amy, a rash on your shin?? Yikes. Congrats on the great job interview.

Okay so I read back all the way to my last post and I did not quote anything and now I have lost my mind again... I will go back and reread everything for another time.

On the SAHM thing, I work at home and I am ALWAYS here for the kids. They are so happy when Mike does anything with them that it is always a big deal around here too. They are just so used to me being there I guess. When he is around and does something with them it becomes huge for them. It used to bother me but I have learned to let that go. I am here for all the important things that he misses and that will be more of a big deal later in life for them.

Yesterday was crazy for me but it was sooooo nice out. It actually hit 50 here yesterday! We lost a ton of snow up here. It was a rest (non-run) day for me but I could not stand the fact that it was 50 degrees and sunny out so I did a short 4 mile run. It really cleared my head and set things straight for me again. TM running does that somewhat but the fresh air really does wonders. I bought a SELF magazine and they are having a month long challenge. You can sign up at self.com/challenge. They have daily tips and menus and workouts and such. It sounded like fun so I thought I would try it. I survived the dentist with no cavities mom. I managed groceries, laundry and I still got my run in too!!

Today is girls to the gym again and I only have 2 miles to get my 25 this week. I also weighed myself this morning and I am down 1 pound...finally... Maybe my new eating theory is working for me. It is supposed to be pouring all day so the gym won't be such a drag. Losing more snow will be though. I am glad we took the snowmobile ride with the kids last weekend!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Morning all!

Gonna be a busy day for me. Gym, work, dr appts for kids, meeting this evening. I'll miss you guys

Have a good day all - I'll catch up tonight!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

One thing before I go...

KELLY! How was your WW meeting yesterday?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

One thing before I go...

KELLY! How was your WW meeting yesterday?

It was very good! I feel much more motivated after staying for the meeting - Ive just rejoined as a new member so we went through everything. I needed the new start I think.

So all in all im feeling more positive! I just need to get back on board with the exercise - starting tonight!

Food today:

Breakfast - All Bran Cereal and skimmed milk
Snack - WW blueberry and yoghurt bar
Lunch - WW bagel with wafer thin ham and low fat cheese. Salted crisps.

Dinner tonight is to be decided! I need to call into the supermarket tonight to get something!

Erika - Very sorry about your injury, that sucks!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Lisa PR - you make a good point. I think, in my case, Nick probably does more fun things with her. Like, I spend all day telling her to do things, and he waltzes in and takes her ice skating. But also, he makes a point of doing fun things with her. Now, on the other hand, I have no doubt she will grow up to love going shopping with girlfriends.

Listen. My mom's worried about her chemo, so if you have a second, an extra prayer there. She thinks it's not working. She could be on the crazy train, but also, she has really, really good instincts.

And. My 38 year old fit, healthy, friend is having double bypass tomorrow. He is not overweight, no history of heart disease, and fit as a fiddle - E, this is like Jeff. No kidding. He's got a 4 yr old and a 9 month old and a wife who is a freelancer. They have high hopes this will take care of the problem and he can go on with his life. He's known there was something wrong for about 5 years and has been fighting with doctors to treat him. He finally found one, and here they are.

So, if you have a second, I will PM you there names if you go that way, if not, any good vibes would be appreciated. And never, ever, take good health for granted. I will try not to!!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Liz - All of my good thoughts are being sent their way

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Thanks, Kelly.

Ok, tell us all about WW. Was the leader nice? did you make a weight loss friend? Did they give you a free sample? Ooooh I love the free sample days!

 

[MunkyMe13]

AHHH! You're turning VOILET, Violet

LOL!!!

My sister and I took a quick trip to the mall so she could buy a new camera. I tried on a pair of jeans while I was there and found out that I dropped a full size - whoo hoo!!!! They didn't have the color wash I wanted so I need to check out the other store in the area before I just order them online. Other than that, I am doing a whole lot of nothing tonight and loving it. I did break down and ate a small brownie from what was left of the batch I made on Monday night. It was yummy and I have no guilt since it was somewhat planned. I know I'll work it off tomorrow and it was still about 1/4 of the size of what I would have normally eaten a year ago so I'll take that as a victory.

Have a great night everyone,
Paula

Yay! Congrats! Its a great feeling eh??

Ya that would be me. I curse like a sailor when I am frustrated. I can actually compete with my DH and his mechanic friends.

I hear ya on the peanut people, Nancy! They are right up there with the fertility doc who implanted SIX embryos in the woman with the octoplets. Did he confuse a uterus with a gumball machine???

She actually wanted them ALL implanted!!! Now she has the gall to ask for donations on her new website!!! The whole situation makes me sick!

Glad you are back on! I'm sure you will start feeling great about it and exercise will help!!!

I will keep them in my thoughts! I am definitely sending good vibes to you and your mom and friend.

I don't think I checked in last night after my nap... Was kind of groggy.

Food tracked. Check.
Water consumed. Check.
Exercise. Check.

Don't feel well today. My lower back is kind of sore and I just overall don't feel well. Weight was the same as yesterday but what can ya do? I am actually not that upset about it. Tomorrow it will come off I'm sure. Had awful dreams this morning that actually woke me up. I hate that! I am definitely looking forward to my 100 calorie pack tonight. I love my fruit and all but I want sugar! I allowed myself 2 this week. One today and one Sunday. Only 2 more days of my crappy *** schedule. Today and tomorrow! I can not even tell you all how happy it makes me. Anywho I gotta get to work. Hope everyone has a great day!
