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

[DisneyWorld Delight]

GO RILEY! That's awesome. (You're gonna have another runner in the house.) I bet Jeff was proud!

I couldn't randomly decide to run half a mile, much less 5.

And, Miss EriKa! 2nd place. Woo-Hoo. Did you get a medal or something? (5 miles, isn't that chump change for you. )

Willie is all settled at the fair. It was funny, we let him out of the pin at home, and we do this to walk him, but of course THIS morning, he had a wild hair. He took off like a shot gun and had Molli, Maddi and daddy running all over the field after him.

We will camp tonight, as "official" weigh in is at 7 am. And Molli will be one of the first to go. (YUCK. Another early morning!)

 

[3DisneyKids]

5k, not 5 miles (3.1 miles). And you know, it is never chump change. I can't figure it out. Sometimes I can run 7 miles and feel like I could go forever. Other time, I am dying after like 2 miles. I get nervous before every run. Each time. Seriously.

We are going to go tell J now (I told you guys before I told him! ). He is off helping a friend with a major construction project today, so we are going over there to bring him lunch.

No medals for this race. It wasn't an "official" race or anything. Just a family fun run. Still, I want to find something special for Riley to remember it by.

Have fun "camping." Seriously, I am sure you will have a blast. Those RVs are really fun. That is why we like staying on our boat. It is just a floating RV, after all...

GOOD LUCK WILLIE!

When does he get judged and/or sold and/or whatever the "events" are?

 

[HockeyKat]

ERIKA!! You are a MACHINE!! Congratulations to both you and Riley. Have I told you lately what a freakin' cool mom you are?

Lyz, good luck with Willie.


I am back on the tracking wagon today. So far, coffee. I think I am going to try to hit the gym later on.

I weighed on Wed and was only up 3 lbs which is absolutely mindboggling considering the amount of junk I have poured into my body in the last 2 weeks.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So Zac man is feeling a little better the food consumption is finally staying in. His numbers are now sky high instead of low. Now I have to start bringing his insulin up slowly.
Erika and Reily great job!!! You get the goddess crown for gettting your family out running! Lyz good luck with Willey!
Have to go weigh in on the SIL thing... you all remember that right???

 

[3DisneyKids]

Erika and Reily great job!!! You get the goddess crown for gettting your family out running.

The sad thing is (or good thing, depending on you look at it, lol) is that if this had only been a 1 mile race, Riley would have schooled me! I swear his first mile was at an 8-minute pace.

Glad Zac is on the mend!

Hi Guys -

I think i'm finally bouncing back. I think those who said i was just worn out from the hectic last few months were right. I've been sick for the last week, just knocked right on my @ss. Did nothing but go to work, come home and sleep for 10 hours give or take when i wasn't lying on the bathroom floor feeling like i was dying. But today i actually feel a lot better, plan on taking a nice slow walk on the treadmill today, and working back up into running. I'm hoping i have finally shaken whatever the heck it was!

I'm hoping i can stick to eating well tomorrow, it's my grandmother's birthday, my sis & bro in law are coming up from DC to celebrate. And then my birthday is next weekend, so we'll see!

And i have also come to the revelation that Bruce working backwards rotating shifts just plain sucks. I'm home alone a lot, bored out of my mind, but the move transplanted me an hour away from a lot of our friends. Not lovin it.....

Ok, well enough negative farmer. Looking ahead and crossin my fingers! Hope to catch up on some of these posts tonight!

 

[HockeyKat]

Okay, day 1 of accountability:

B: coffee
L: tuna in a pita (140)
D: ff spinach dip (80), cauliflower (20), ff pringles (70)
S: 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/2 fiber one, 1/4 milk, ~100
S: 1 bag ff popcorn (200)
Finished off 3 beers, at ~450, to get them out of the house
So, roughly 1050-1100.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

So total, about

 

[3DisneyKids]

Great job tracking, Kat....and welcome back to the wagon! It was lonely here without you!

Hi all...I am feeling better today finally...thought I was good yesterday but today is tons better...I need to call WW and find out what they will do with me missing 2 weeks...maybe I can get 1 as a reprieve...

I am actually looking forward to starting walking and being able to eat a meal that is balanced...so many foods made me sick and the hospital does not seem to get nutrition...although I did order each day at lunch a plate of fruit and cottage cheese...so not the worst...

Treyner did not do so well in Iowa...not sure what happened...maybe an off weekend..maybe crumpled under pressure...but not good for scouts watching...so let's pray he already has Fort Lewis locked...as well as Augsburg locally still wants him...that is te benefit of being recruited locally...they have more than a one shot time to see him...

I am going to re -read some and try and get caught up...I 'll be checking in tom...

I got my I-pod shuffle I earned from Tupp for free...Carsyn needs to get home to show me how to download the Pod-cast stuff...problem is that I can't listen to what I want can I...doesn't it just skip around? Maybe like a wheel of fortyune..gotta get a meesage when I can philosophy would be good...

Miss ya all...

 

[Dizneydawn]

Hi all,

Sorry for the lateness of this post, but the night truly got away from me...

Well, the day of reckoning finally arrived and my weekend of fun means that it was time to pay the piper. I gained 3 pounds this week.... Now, in order for me to feel all right about this, I must do a bit of rationalization... Last week's weigh in was probably a bit inflated due to the fact that I changed clothes before my appointment and left my heavy jeans behind in favor of capris. So, this week, not only did I have my weekend of moderately excess food and liquor to deal with, I was back to wearing my jeans. So I suspect that I still gained weight this week, but in my head, I am cancelling out about 1-1/2 pounds of that to denim... Again, a totally fabricated rationalization, but right now it is making me feel better about myself and more imporantantly helping me to resist the urge to say the hell with it and eat everything in sight...

The good news in all of this is that I have a week of exercise planned and good food choices in my fridge, so I have the right mindset to get myself back on track so that I can get back to where I was a week ago.

Have a great night everyone...
Paula

So there you have the good, the bad and the just plain ugly....

I am glad you post your truth...cause mine will be ugly this week I think also...but so little control lately isn't going to deter me..got loads of vegies at the Farmers market...love raw vegies...

Details? Brown hair, brown eyes, a Libra, likes long walks in the rain... Bra size is larger than I'd like!
Glad you are here...what made you join us?
Deb

You people lose toenails and you want me to run?

No, really.
so laughing my @ss off...I hardly have toenails as it is...not negotiable...


Okay, crawling back into the work hole. Just saying.

I can just see it now....Miss Piggy as "spokes pig"...
you are such a hoot...
POWER TO THE PIGS!!!

I found a new obstacle this morning - suicidal ducks. A whole family! DH said I should have run them down. He was probably right. (Yes, there's a story there, ending up in DD getting bit by a duck last summer.)

Deb

kamakazzi ducks...b@stards...

I'm so glad the good hog gets to go. Send me some bacon from the lazy one.

I could not eat bacon from Lyz's kids...I feel a Charlotes Web moment...
Dawn - you just take care of yourself, okay! We will send you healing thoughts.
hank you all....

Dawn hope you feel better soon! I wouldn't have blown your veins!
I should have taken some pics..I look like a 90 year old woman...with old, bruised, thin skin...

Does anyone do WW? They're starting a program here at work.
I need the face to face accountability for now...

Okay - I am all caught up...I do have a few WW questions...

How long have those that have been on/were on...doing WW and how much have you lost so far?

 

[BrcsDisneyPrncs]

Dawn - it's so good to see you back in action. I'm so glad you are feeling better!

Kat - good for you getting back on the wagon!!

I finally got in a good workout on my treadmill last night, 30 mins, walk for 2 run for 1 etc. Still working my way back into it, but it felt great when i was done!

And i managed to only eat a teeny tiny piece of cake - a center piece so no extra buttercream frosting on the sides. Thats good for me, i have a weakness for buttercream!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Great job tracking, Kat....and welcome back to the wagon! It was lonely here without you!

Thanks!! This has been a rough weekend.

Okay, today:
B/L: Coffee, breakfast pita w/ better n eggs (30), turkey sausage (65), and pita (60), 3 pancakes made w/ bisquick heartsmart and 1/4 cup blueberries (~160) w/ calorie free blueberry syrup.
S: 1/2 cup fiber one, 1/4 cup mile (80)
D: 1.5 pieces Capt D's fried fish (240), 1 stuffed crab (100), broccoli (40), mac&cheese (160), and salad (60)
So, ~1000 calories. Exercise, 1 hour of mowing the lawn in 95 degree heat, which I think counts.

[3DisneyKids]

Good morning everyone! (and of course.....) HAPPY MONDAY!

Hope everyone had a great week-end!

LYZ--we need you to check in from the camper! How do you like it? And the rest of the family? How is the fair?

LIZ--how was your big week-end? Feels like you haven't been around here for ages.

DAWN--welcome back! So glad to hear that you are feeling better! And no, you can have your iPod shuffle play in the order in which you set it up or you can have it "shuffle" everything around so you get random stuff.

(which reminds me, LIZ, I will post my playlist at some point. I know you asked a while back.)

And Dawn, LIZ has been on WW since OCT and has lost over 70 pounds! Not sure how long STEPH has been on, but she has lost over 30!

Ok, time to get caught up on work before I have to get the kids going....

Okay - I am all caught up...I do have a few WW questions...
How long have those that have been on/were on...doing WW and how much have you lost so far?

I have been on WW since March I have lost 30 pounds give and take a few. I do have to work tonight so I will weigh in here at home!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Good morning! Did you miss me?

Well, here I am after my four days of non-stop food and fun. I totally went over my points, but I enjoyed myself. And in the real world, we live like this. It's all about balance, right? I weighed myself this morning, and I was the same as last weigh-in, which is good. I have two days to eat right and move and maybe I'll lose something small, and if not, then hey, I didn't gain.

So, Bruce - great show.
Friday night in NYC - my friend was TOTALLY jealous. Like, one "you look great" and then never ever referenced it the whole night, even as her two friends (both of whom I know and have spent time with) asked me millions of questions, discussed their own weight loss issues, etc. I was prepared for her reaction, though. It's rough to lose your fat friend, right? Oh, well. Too bad, so sad.

Saturday night, book club. Good discussion, ate lots but it was very healthy lots, like veggies and avocado bean salad and this whole grain - like barley but not - salad. Yum.

Sunday night - The Police. HOMG. THE POLICE ARE AWESOME. It was just out of control good. And we were outside on the lawn, so Greenie and I made friends with the guys around us - it's only guys at this show. We bought tshirts and baseball caps, and of course I bought a tshirt for my kid. She has to be dressed rock and roll, right? Lots of beer, a pretzel, and, yes, the Mrs. Field's cookies. But we did dance our littler butts off, so we figure that HAS to be activity points! It was out of control fun.

Today I'm back to my staid life. Working, working, working, and getting ready (read: feeling stressed about) for my cousin to come with her 3 kids and husband on Friday morning. Yep, five people here. It's not a big house. We have one bathroom. We'll be spending a LOT of time out of the house!

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Yes We missed you!!!!!

you got it balance~ Everything has to be balanced!

I can't believe it! Even my DB GF told me how great I looked and we can't stand each other! But it was good that you were prepared for this because I would have been like "Don't I LOOK GOOD. HELLLOOOO... I have LOST 70 POUNDS TELL ME I LOOK GOOD!

Saturday night, book club. Good discussion, ate lots but it was very healthy lots, like veggies and avocado bean salad and this whole grain - like barley but not - salad. Yum.

MMMM avocado I love that!!!! I did indulge last night in chips but they are made with white corn sesame seeds and flax seeds. Healthy , no? little carbs to them!

Sunday night - The Police. HOMG. THE POLICE ARE AWESOME. It was just out of control good. And we were outside on the lawn, so Greenie and I made friends with the guys around us - it's only guys at this show. We bought tshirts and baseball caps, and of course I bought a tshirt for my kid.

It was out of control fun.

I am sure that you worked off those cookies! Everything can be worked into activity points!!!

Today I'm back to my staid life. Working, working, working, and getting ready (read: feeling stressed about) for my cousin to come with her 3 kids and husband on Friday morning. Yep, five people here. It's not a big house. We have one bathroom. We'll be spending a LOT of time out of the house!

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Don't work to hard!

I am too back to work today YUCK! I didn't work much last week but zac is finally on the mend it was hit n miss all weekend! He did go spend the afternoon with my mom yesterday they went shopping. This is a big thing because my mom doesn't like to deal with his diabetes. She makes a big thing about turning her head or leaving the room if he is getting a shot. On other notes this week zac started doing his own shots! This is a great thing! Nate (stepson) it took him till last year to do his own he was 15! We haven't seen him much this summer because his mother has him babysitting and helping her move! He stopped by the other night and brought me strawberry daiquiris , his mother said she didn't want them or rather she wasn't drinking anymore???? OK??? She is rather strange anyhow!

I am glad everyone is back and posting! Hope everyone has a great monday!
