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

[AKASnowWhite]

Apparently, the rest of you are all out straight as well....right???? Cause otherwise, where are you???

Uhhh...just a LITTLE busy... ...Spent the better part of this otherwise beautiful day at the high school sewing like a mad woman...and tomorrow I am there from 1-8. I love, love, LOVE the kids - they are so wonderful - and loads of fun. Really has restored my faith in the future of this country! But it's so much work!

On the plus side (maybe? ) I have discovered that I am able to say "no" after all! However, it's become "no, I haven't done any laundry, No, I'm not making dinner tonight (again!), and no, I won't be home to give you a ride"

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone! I'm working my little fingers to the bone, and will be back soon (I hope!)

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Busy weekend dance recitaling and fighting a headache. I'll catch up later. TTFN.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Paula, Love the analogy!!! It is so true, and I think about not being that mom all the time with Emily...but the hardest thing is learning to nurture ourselves. For ages she ate better than I did. Why? Because I made her diet more important than mine!

Okay, so I have been post-vacationing. That's the truth. For two days I sort of let jet lag take over and hid. Didn't eat much, but didn't exactly move my body either. Yesterday was book club/dinner party for 6 at my house. I drank champagne like it was going out of style! I made great healthy food but also ate the British cheeses I had served, the desserts (cake for my BFF's birthday, shortcake with berries) and drank. I am still in party mode, and that's the hard truth. I got up at 5am with my child this morning - she went to bed at 7pm during my dinner party so I kind of had to expect a 5am wakeup - so I am pretty wiped. And we have another party today - my FIL's birthday.

On the plus side, I tracked everything. It's not pretty, but it's on paper.

Well, here is to next week! When I return to being the tracking queen!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Hey girls just checking in! Been a busy weekend! Plus busy working! Yesterday the boys found a mother cat and three kittens, in their fort. Guess where they are now.... Well not totally in the house but they are in the garage. I don't know how someone can be so cruel by just dumping them off on the side of the road! So I am asking anyone in our area if they want them or one or how ever they want to take them. If no one claims them by tuesday I am going have to take them to a shelter. Fat b@stard my cat won't do well with them. Plus we aren't supposed to have pets in this apartment.
here is a pic of them

aren't they cute?

Oh and the mother cat didn't like being picked up I have scratches all over my chest and arms fingers!

Well of to get ready for work, weigh in tomorrow evening!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hi All!

The birthday party was awesome! It was definitely the social event of the third grade! I am exhausted beyond words so will actually be going to be at a decent hour and will catch up with everyone tomorrow.

 

[MaMabearJo]

Hello,

What a wonderful day it was yesterday for Prom and all the excitement that went with it. Oh my gosh did my girls look beautiful, and their dates where so handsome, they all had a wonderful time and the whole evening went well. I can not believe how fast they grow up. I will send a picture by email to some of you since I can not get them on here.

I did get my walking in yesterday and today, I went a lot farther today and my legs are really feeling it. The pain you go through to get a new body...

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Pictures! Everyone! Of everything! Prom, party, etc. Love the cats!

Food today - still in party mode. Tomorrow is another day!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I want to see pictures of the prom too!!!
Our school had their prom two weeks ago they are trying to get the kids to stay at the school now and they hosted a after prom party and they gave gift away. They had volley ball in gym a WII and Xbox with the big screens in the aud. and they openned the pool and rented a jacuzzi. there was a bunch of other thing too. One of the prizes was for a used car donated by one of the car dealerships. My daughters friend's brother won it. they did all types of things with them basically they had the run of the school all night! I guess it worked out great!

Now was your prom for Jr or Sr? Back in boston we had a Jr and Sr prom but senior was the BIG Prom! here they only have a JR prom.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning everyone! Yes, prom pics are a MUST! And did Terynor make it in time?

No time for a real post now...just able to jump on quickly b/c the kids are all asleep from the massive week-end we had around here. Yes, I am letting them be late to school. Better to be late and well-rested than cranky, grumpy, and not feeling well all day due to being over-tired.

I feel good and ready for a long run today. We'll see how it goes. It is stunningly gorgeous here today...crystal clear with bright sun. So naturally I want to run my route that goes along the ocean. But...the other side of me knows that I should run on the TM today. I am still nursing sore IT bands (a running injury...but much better than it was last week and the week before), so running on a softer surface would be better.....so...??? Don't know. I run at 9am, so I will decide then.

I had NO birthday cake yesterday!

But I DID have pizza for dinner! This is ok...it was totally planned for and counted, so I am on track.

Ok, this is where all of YOU come in...I need accountability this week! For the past 4-ish weeks or so I have said that "THIS is the week I am going to start really focusing on my core!" And I get maybe one core workout in during the week and that is all.

So I need you all to BUST me and keep me on track if I am not posting about core work-outs.

Also, FOOD. I have not been cheating...still eating only good stuff and the right stuff (or at least "planning" my treats like pizza last night)...but I am just eating TOO MUCH. SO remind me to keep my hands on the keyboards!

Ok, kids are now away...time to get ready for the day!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I just got an email from my costume co-hort! We've been "informed" that we need SIX MORE DRESSES....in addition to the rest of the pieces that haven't been finished yet. Yes - dress rehersal is Wednesday....opening night is Friday.

Eating like crap, stressed out, not sleeping enough...I'm headed to the gym this morning, only because it's on the way to the fabric store and the store doesn't open until 10.....

 

[Dizneydawn]

Here is a quick fly-by to post some prom pics...

Treyner said it was the mostfun he had had at a schol dance..I was so happy he enjoyed his time.

It worked out great going with Sara as friends...lots of dancing with lot's of girls...and no drama...perfect time was had by all...

Treyner and Sara... at a friends house after group pics

Treyner acting like he knows something about da Hood! (notice mohawk man behind him! )

Dan's Mustang that he let Treyner borrow for prom night....I love that car...

After grand march

We took a bunch of pics of Treyner before his soccer game - liked this one..even with the fuzz on his chin...he said it was bad luck to shave before the game...who knew 17 hairs made a difference!

btw...they tied there game...0-0 , Treyner had more scouts there...he will play soccer for Varsity this year and we shall see what the football team thinks about letting him be more than a kicker...

But money is on the line for soccer and he needs as much coaching in that as he can get...

Hope you enjoy the pics...

Thanks Dawn for putting these up, and I have to agree Sara had a wonderful time and said they had tons of fun. Trey and I talked yesterday about lots of stuff. Talk later.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi All,

Quick, drive by posting due to stuff going on at work...

Erika - go kick some core butt... I am back on my exercise DVD's and walking the bike path so I am calling in my bets of you matching my time... I walked 5 miles this week in about 3 hours... so get crunching!!!!!

Thanks for helping to inspire me to get moving again.... I owe you big time for that.....

Jodi and Dawn - the pics are gorgeous and I am glad that the kids had fun at the prom....

Snow - Sorry that you are stressed this week... Hang in there... the week will be over before you know it....

Talk to you all later
Goof

 

[3DisneyKids]

Will reply to all as soon as I can...just got a call from our painter that he will here in 2 hours to start (remember the bathrooms are going through a remodel???) Well...since we had no warning, nothing has been taken off the walls, etc.

He is actually doing most of the house, so I gotta run like hell to get things ready.

Just needed to post my work-out first--

BIKE = 17.5 miles in 60 minutes
Core Boxing = 15 minutes
Ab routine = 10 minutes
Tennis match = 90 minutes (to be played this evening)

Total miles = 17.5
Total minutes = 175 (2:55)

 

[Nicole786]

So I started today! I'm so excited!! I roller bladed for 20 minutes this morning, and so far I have eaten 2 cups of chex cereal with 1% milk and a banana. I made a turkey sandwich on whole wheat for lunch to be enjoyed with cheez nips and water!! I have a lean cuisine for dinner as I wont get home until 8pm! I have until August 2nd to lose 15 pounds! I know I did it last year I just need to lose the weight i've gained!

ETA: also, has anyone seen the new Wii Fit?? I tried it out at the nintendo store so I ordered it! Should be here within a few days, but was wondering if anyone else had experience with it?

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Prom pictures are just gorgeous! Jodi and Dawn, those kids are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Pictures are great! The kids looked excellent glad they had a good time and no DRAMA

 

[3DisneyKids]

Dawn--I have told you before what a good looking guy Trey is...so you know that already!

But this is the first time I have seen Sara....OMG, Jodi! She is drop-dead gorgeous! What a great looking couple they made for prom! They must have stopped traffic!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Hola!

Goodnight Floppy...or should I say..LDL?

Assuming this is for me!

Your son, hubba hubba.

Did the Giant Turd have an opinion about Dan's fancy car being the transport of choice?

However, the great news is that the old knots in my stomach...about my parents in China...are now gone! Got an e-mail from them and all is well. Just very hard for them to find an active internet connection. Thanks for sending good thoughts their way!

Whew! What a blessing.

GREAT news! By unanimous decision, Kelly is skipping and going straight to first grade next year! Phew! This has been 2 years in the making, so for it to finally be a done deal is such a relief! The whole committee was absolutely wonderful and supportive and 100% on board. No problems or concerns whatsoever.

GREAT!

I brought Cammie to her softball practice, and while she was at practice I went for my run (4.5 miles tonight). Normally, this is social hour for the moms. We hang out and chat for the hour. But I was like, sorry gotta run. I think they were impressed. When I came back they were all like, "You have been running this whole time?!?!?" Um, yes!

You da queen!

Love you guys!

Ditto!

Would You Give a Crying Child a Donut and Send Them Away?

The next time you're tempted to eat out of comfort, PAUSE, there is a hurt child inside you that needs you.
She is trying to tell you something.
Stop to ask her what's going on for her.
Don't shut her up with food, hear her out and offer her real comfort instead.

Goof! Excellent! I needed to hear that.

she has gotten into the habit of running to the neighbors' and just standing outside of their door and barking her head off. NOT COOL.

But funny, in an amusing onlooker sorta way.

On the plus side (maybe? ) I have discovered that I am able to say "no" after all! However, it's become "no, I haven't done any laundry, No, I'm not making dinner tonight (again!), and no, I won't be home to give you a ride"

I think that might be the wrong "no"

PaulaOkay, so I have been post-vacationing. That's the truth. For two days I sort of let jet lag take over and hid. Didn't eat much, but didn't exactly move my body either. Yesterday was book club/dinner party for 6 at my house. I drank champagne like it was going out of style!

On the plus side, I tracked everything. It's not pretty, but it's on paper.

Well, here is to next week! When I return to being the tracking queen!

It sucks to come back to reality! (shortcake & berries, yum. Loves me some berries.)

That is Hi Lar Ious

Oh and the mother cat didn't like being picked up I have scratches all over my chest and arms fingers!

You're gonna get cat scratch fever! It's a real thing, you know.

Hi All!

The birthday party was awesome! It was definitely the social event of the third grade!

Go Erika! (Course now the other mothers have to "out do" you.)

Jodi, Sarah (Sara?) Looked Beautiful. Glad everyone had a great time.

here they only have a JR prom.

Thats odd. Here, the prom is both, Jr/Sr, but the Jrs have to plan and decorate FOR the seniors.

I just got an email from my costume co-hort! We've been "informed" that we need SIX MORE DRESSES....in addition to the rest of the pieces that haven't been finished yet. Yes - dress rehersal is Wednesday....opening night is Friday.

Eating like crap, stressed out, not sleeping enough...I'm headed to the gym this morning, only because it's on the way to the fabric store and the store doesn't open until 10.....

I'm tired for you. God Speed my friend.

I walked 5 miles this week in about 3 hours... so get crunching!!!!!

Showoff.

BIKE = 17.5 miles in 60 minutes
Core Boxing = 15 minutes
Ab routine = 10 minutes
Tennis match = 90 minutes (to be played this evening)

Total miles = 17.5
Total minutes = 175 (2:55)

Nicole, great job. The food sounds doeable. Nothing too far off the beaten bath.

I can't wait till I start showing off my exercise stats! One of these fine days.

Had a busy weekend. Dance recital for Madeline Friday & Saturday night. Worked in the office all day sunday getting an invoice ready and...

well typing this out, doesn't seem like alot, but I didn't get a nap Sat or Sunday! I live for my weekend nappers. I did scrub my shower and sweep out my new ride, 2 times

Anyone watch Desprate Housewives? I am not a loyal follower, but if I actually get free time, Sun @9, I'll watch it. Anywhoo, what was last night? Season or Series Finale? They showed 5 years later at the end and it threw me for a loop.

Ok, must get to work. Good catching up.

And now.

For the most

Important

Words

KAAAAAATTTTTTTT. You're in Walt Disney World! I hope your relaxed! Thinking about us! Why have you not posted? Didn't you mention free internet? Comon baby, give us a little sampling.
