In search of my body...not the one I ate! Part Deux... We sit at the popular table!

[3DisneyKids]

Aw, c'mon...what's the matter? A little late night chatting and you all are too tired to post?!?!? Wake up, girls! It is a new day!

Since I did my long run last night, I get the day off from working out (ok, well, I *might* go do a quick boxing class this evening ) and since I didn't get to do my retail therapy yesterday, I am going now.

Liz--missed you this morning. Text me to reschedule.

Have a great day! Good choices, right? Right.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I'm here I'm here! you always beat me to the boards! But I am here!
Nothing planned for today working a full shift tonight so I won't be home till 1130. Hope everyone has a great day I will be around till at least 1p.m

Ok has anyone watched WIPEOUT! OMG IT IS SO FUNNY

 

[goofyfan-12]

E - you are an amazing woman.... thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all. We are all stronger because of the bonds we have made here and your words only reinforce that...

Congrats on the little fishes success.... how exciting... perhaps there are some future olympians in the house....

Yesterday was a good day for me. Had a little splurge at dinner last night when we went to this Italian tapas style restaurant. I love tapas restaurants because the portions are actually what we should be eating, not these gargantuan portions you get everywhere else. I am going to get an extra walk in today at lunch time to offset the splurge so I should be good. I am also heading to the local farmer's market to stock up on some fresh veggies and such. Grilled veggies.... yum...

I am getting excited for my exercise class tomorrow night. I'll be sure to report back on how I make out. I am even considering a Boot Camp class on Saturday morning, but need to see how my body feels after tomorrow night.

Enjoy the day everyone... I'll be dodging raindrops and researching scaffolding designs for one of my projects all morning... C'mon - you all wish you could do the same right....

I've seen the Japanese version of this and it is funny. I can't watch it for long periods of time though. I keep asking why people would subject themselves to this...

Paula

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Well I just watched it on the computer and I was laughing my butt off! it was great no commercials. I was laughing so hard the boys came running to find out what I was doing! Yes I was saying the same thing WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF it isn't worth the 50,000,
Well it could be if you went to disney with the $$$$$.

All this talk about tattoo's...

If I ever got a tattoo, it would be of a FRECKLE! yes, a freckle. I know as soon as the artist got even CLOSE to me with that needle thing-a-ma-bob, I'd FREAK OUT , and change my mind. I'd end up with just a "dot".

Can I just say - having all of my kids away at the same time hasn't turned out as great as I would have hoped? I'm doing all MY work, PLUS theirs...and it basically stinks! DS called last night from Maine - said the weather up there is PERFECT (we've got the hazy, hot & humid crud... ) but there is NOTHING around there. The nearest Walmart is an hour away. And this is in the "college" town of Machias?!? The family whose house he is working on has 3 kids - one of whom is away at some "college camp" program - where they teach the kids how to...well...live & learn with other people. See, the school in their town has 20 students. TOTAL. Grades k-12. TWENTY. It's a 3 room school-house. Now THAT'S small!!

Gotta get back to work... I miss my kids - well not that I miss my KIDS, but I miss the CHORES that get done while they are around.

OMG 20 kids in k-12 and I thought we had a small school! we have 1000 k-12 well if that maybe 800...
That stinks that your not having a good time without the kids!

Nancy - I love that you miss their work!!! That is so awesome! It's just so REAL, so thank you for posting that.

Paula - you are right on about tapas. Love it, love it, love it. Normal size portions and all! Stay dry!


WW weigh in today - I lost 1.4lbs. I am super happy with that. I have a little goal of 160 by 8/23. So a pound or so a week is just fine with me! I would love to be at goal by Oct 11th, but we shall see. That's only 15 weeks to lose 19.6. Ambitious, but not insane.

GREAT JOB LIZ!!!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Thanks, Steph!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Liz - Awesome job on the loss this week.... I think your goal is doable.

I have been thinking of setting a small milestone goal myself and am shooting for 15 pounds by my birthday in mid September. That would be about 1-1/2 pounds per week. It may be a bit aggressive, but if I hunker down on my exercise plan it is not out of the question. This will be me for the rest of the summer...

Thanks, Paula!

We can do it, right? What day is your birthday? Mine is the 19th. I will shoot for 15lbs. by the 19th, or whatever day works for you, with you. We can do it together!

LIZ!!! You are under 170. That is SO AWESOME.

Erika, a little boxing class on your day off. You are a machine.

On the job front, I have had two more nibbles this week. One would be pharma, the other is gov't (office of the court).... the more I stew, the more done I am here...

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I am JUST under 170...but you are right. I will take it!

Nick loved pharma. He worked in that before moving to EY. I hope they bite!

 

[3DisneyKids]

WOO HOO LIZ! The 160's! Yowza!

See? I told you that I was already polishing your goddess crown BEFORE weigh-in since I knew you would be getting one today!

Great job with the walking, Paula!

Nancy--yes, the weather has been great here (though today the humidity found us). Machias is a super small town even though there is a Uni there. I got offered a job up there...and I was psyched at first since it is on the coast and all. I figured we could actually afford ocean-front property there (and we could have 10 years ago...I don't know what it is going for today). But yikes! Once I got there and toured the "town" .... um, no thanks.

Go Kat! I am willing to bet that you will find something and soon. And you are in the wonderful position of being able to pick and choose and wait it out since you still have a good-paying job, etc.

Gotta gear up for the mom thing this afternoon. Hitting the pool with like 5 or 6 kids. Better figure out the head count first, huh?

That's great about the loss!

October is only 15 weeks away! That is scary to me!

Yes, I am offically tired. You gals are night owls. And I hate getting up in the morning. HATE!!!

Kat all fired up!!!

50 minutes on the tm this morning.

I love the idea of tag teaming on this one!!!!! My birthday is on the 12th, but we can use the 19th as our target date for our goal. So... my question is who else is in???? I smell a mini challenge here....

Paula

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I hate getting up too! Only because I am a night owl. But with the boys they get up at dawn! This morning they came in my room and said can we get up yet... I looked at the clock and said NO it's 730 wait till 8. So I finally got up at 815 and got breakfast and I have been in a cleaning frenzy since. I only have the kitchen and the upstairs to do. I washed the kitchen floor dining room floor and vacuumed the foyer, living room, hall stairs, and the HALL! There was so much cat hair.. I think I am going to shave fat B@stard!

50 minutes on the tm this morning.

Great Job!!!! I have to get one! I am to lazy to walk down to the gym three doors down!
