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

Erika and Nancy I say you are goddess for biking the miles that you do I did 2 miles today and my legs feel like jelly!!
to both of you!!!!!

Great job for getting out there! WOO HOO! Are you coming to the dark side, too? It's fun, you know. We're having a big ol' party!

Ok, I know that Lance Armstrong says, "It's Not About the Bike..." but it IS about the bike if you are a new rider. Do you have a decent bike? Or is this an old clunker? Biking is like running in that you really do need to go to a specialty store and get properly fitted. You don't just want to go to a sporting goods store (we have Dick's and The Sports Authority out here as the larger chains). Your a$$ and legs will hate you on one of these bikes.

If you are going to seriously walk or run, please do not just go to the mall and buy sneakers. Look up your local running specialty store and have them specifically analyze and fit your feet. Also...once you know what sneakers you want (after you have bought and used them and know that this is what works for your feet, etc.) we have a 15% discount for the WISH team (plus free shipping)...and their prices are already discounted. The shoes I paid $99 for at the running store I can get for like $68 through WISH.

[3DisneyKids]

HA! I am up before Erika!

WOW!

I have been up, though...just not online. The painters are finally back to finish what they started, oh about a month ago. They called at 7 to say they'd be here at 8--thus I had to run around like crazy to get the rooms ready for them to be in. Thanks for the notice.

Good morning friends! How are we today? I am off to Em's VBS and then to run at the gym. Whee! Will report back later!

Hi Everyone...

I am beat this morning.... I walked my 3 miles last night and got all of my grocery shopping done. I still have to finish putting my closet back together, but that is on the list for tonight.

Something new has started now that I am exercising. I wake up in the morning and I am starving.... I ususally eat breakfast at about 9:00AM when the guys take morning coffee breakfast, but I can't make it anymore... I am trying to eat one of my snacks when I get up and see how that goes...

Have to run... busy morning....

Goof

 

[SeptemberGirl]

HOMG. I had to run home and tell you this.

Today is a run/walk day for my 5k training. When I started on July 1st, I could only jog for 30 seconds at a time. As of Saturday, my last training day, I could jog for 2 minutes. Today I jogged for 7 mins at once. SEVEN!!!!

Then I walked for 2, jogged for 2, walked for 5, jogged for 5. So total time, 14 mins jogging, 30 with warm up and cool down, but 7 at once!

This is major, major for me. I just thought, let's see how long I can jog for. I'll jog until I want to die then I'll walk. And I did!

I never before understood what people meant when they said "you'll be proud of yourself" for doing something psychical. I never got that, because I never felt it. But I think I'm going to be proud of myself for doing this 5k. Like, I might actually be able to do this!



Ok, off to pick up the kid and head to the pool. Just call me Erika!

DH and I had sushi saturday so technically that was my birthday meal... so we'll see... I want to be out of the 200s sooo bad....

So weigh in last night thought I was going to be up after two parties over the week but I was down 3.2 pounds for two weeks. So a total of 29.4 total weight loss! so 12 more pounds to lose before our deadline of Sept. 15 -19.
Have a great day!
So other news we are backing out of the house deal! It is just way over our heads and really the house wouldn't be totally finished so that would be more money that we would have to invest more. We have found a bigger house for less money everything is there and we love it! I will have more updates as they are available! Kat this is the house that I showed you the other night!

 

[HockeyKat]

Steph that house was awesome! Except for the wallpaper but that is easily fixed. I am so coming over to swim in that pool.

Liz you are a goddess.

Paula I have heard that you should eat breakfast within a half hour to an hour of waking up? Maybe your body is telling you that.


I had a phone screen this morning, but it was disappointing. I don't know whether or not they will want me but I don't think I want them... I still haven't heard back from Friday and I really want to.

Kitten and cat are very warily getting to know each other. There is some hissing but they can be in the same room and no blood has been shed. Kitten still doesn't have a name...

Yeah on being so close to onederland..... I am very proud of you....

Liz you are a goddess.

Paula I have heard that you should eat breakfast within a half hour to an hour of waking up? Maybe your body is telling you that.

I think I am going to have to try and eat something when I wake up. This morning it was my vitamin bar and a piece of fruit. It seemed to do the trick and it was quick. I don't have time in the morning to do anything other than get my big ol butt out of bed and ready to work. It really is a mad dash until I am in the car.... I'll keep you posted....

I had a phone screen this morning, but it was disappointing. I don't know whether or not they will want me but I don't think I want them... I still haven't heard back from Friday and I really want to.

Give the kitties time... they will ge the hang of eachother soon enough...

Steph - (sorry I didn't quote your message) Congrats on the loss!!!! How cool for you!!!! Good luck with the house deal. Given all of the uncertainty with the economy, it is so important that you not get in over your heads. Not to be a whiner, but Um - how come Kat gets to see the pics and not the rest of us... just wondering....

Goof

Ummm.... I was talking to her on AIM while looking at the house! If you want to check it out their web site is chazyhouse.com. Gee Paula you are a contractor, right , you want to come take a peek??

 

[SeptemberGirl]

We have a little flooding in the basement - a broken valve. Discovered it an hour ago when I went to get clean pool towels from the laundry room. Fun. Going to go clean up, will catch up with you later!

 

[3DisneyKids]

LIZ! WOW! That is AWESOME! I am SO SO SO proud of you! And given your pace, that is like 2/3 of a mile you just ran. Almost a mile after what, like a week and a half! Incredible! Goddess crown.

PAULA--yes, ideally you want to "break" the "fast" (ie: eat breakfast) as soon as possible. It gets your metabolism up and working. My trainer recommends fruit as soon as your feet hit the floor. It takes some getting used to.

STEPH--WOO HOO on the loss! Way to go! Goddess crown, totally! Wear it proudly! Looking at the house now.

SARAH--Happy Birthday! And congrats on almost to Onederland! We will have to celebrate that day for sure!

And like Liz...got the kids and now off to the pool!

 

[MaMabearJo]

Hello all, boy it seems forever since I wrote, and looking at how high the thread number is it must have been. Missed you all, really I have.

I only read two threads so far, I will get catch up, promise.

It has been really busy around here, not sure if you heard, but we had straight line wides and a small tornado ripe through both our properties. A major mess, the insurance inspector has been to both places. New roofs, siding, patio furnicure, air conditioner unit, lawn mower (flew through the air and landing in a heap). We lost power at both places for 3 days, not easy on the food in the freezer. Then you can not imagine how many trees went down, big huge trees, old oaks, pine trees you name it. So for 5 days my family and some friends have been cutting and removing trees. If I could get some pictures to show on this thread you would be amazed at how many trees we have piled on our two arces. The other house is all woods and it really looks bad, lucky for us the buyers are still going through with the deal, (closing is on the 24th of July) We just have to have most of the tree's that are down away from the house.

So as you can tell we have been a little busy and with out power, so I promise to get caught up reading and responding.

Losing weight has not been very successful, I have not gained anything, but for some reason even with all the heavy logging and still getting my walks in I am unable to budge. Hopefully, I can get back on track and break this plato.

I hope everyone else is well, I really do miss chating.

I still haven't heard back from Friday and I really want to.

Crossing my fingers. Hope you hear soon.

Kitten and cat are very warily getting to know each other. There is some hissing but they can be in the same room and no blood has been shed. Kitten still doesn't have a name...

Hopefully, I can get back on track and break this plato.

I hope everyone else is well, I really do miss chating.

Jodi - you sure do have your hands full!!! Hopefully things will settle down soon and you can focus on you more.

Nothing exciting to post from me. Haven't worked out yet. I slept a little to late, so I'll walk this evening.
