In Search of My Body....Not the One I ATE! Vol. 5: Goddesses are Always on Top!

[SeptemberGirl]

Seriously, was there a big discussion about Mirena? Because I SO do not remember that. I am considering it, too. What are the drawbacks? Are there any?

OMG, I just thought of one. NEVER having the week "off". Is that true???

 

[HockeyKat]

I don't remember it either, but that is no surprise!!

You don't have to TELL him there is no week off. After all, it is only a "side effect", not a guarantee! Plus, for the first 6 months I bet you could get a day-pass for getting out of jail free by mentioning the word spotting...

 

[3DisneyKids]

Poor Roddy!

And there was no mention of the "M" word, though Lyz has all but written love songs about her IUD!

In fact, even though I don't need an IUD for BC reasons (J is fixed after all), I am still considering it just to make tom go away.

Evil has arrived in my office...

Yup - those little buggars known as Girl Scout cookies have finally arrived. I ate a few of my required tagalongs and put the box out for the rest of the office to eat tomorrow when they get here. The other boxes are going to my parents and I am not eating anymore of them. If they weren't so depended on by the girls for financial support, I wouldn't have bought any.

Need some serious strength and willpower right now.

I am looking forward to some quality cardio time on the bike tonight. Haven't done cardio since last Wednesday so it has been a while since I got lost in my thoughts. It should do me some good. Been dealing with crap at work and reading a relationship book and processing that at the same time (BTW - someone want to teach me how to flirt? I apparantly missed that lesson in school based on what I am reading... ) So need some time just to process it all and that is what tonight is about for me.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day. I'll be here resisting those darn evil cookies...

The Girl Scout cookies showed up at my office today. So far I've resisted the Tagalongs, but they are calling out to me from the kitchen.

I don't mind TOM so much. It's just life, right? And I am very lucky with it.

I didn't buy any GS cookies this year. Honestly, no one came to the door, no one asked us. Why my BFF doesn't ask for her daughter, I do not know. BUT none in my house. And I would eat them all. They are so good.

Sunny, how did your weigh in go?

Weigh in is tomorrow night. Got my fingers crossed for a loss.

Yes! Thank you. I knew you'd remember.

Hmmm, drawbacks. I don't know of any, unless I can blame my weight gain on it.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

OMG. Weight gain? Is there any??? For real? Tell me the truth.

 

[adsrtw]

Hey guys! Crazy day 13 hours!

I hope everybody is doing well. Be back after I catch up.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I don't think so. I was just being sarcastic. I wouldn't get something that caused weight gain! Never-Ever. (Well besides stuffing food in my mouth.)

 

[adsrtw]

I had a whole post typed out earlier and lost it. Sigh.

Kelly, sorry you are feeling poorly. And as to the rubbish, was right there with you over the weekend.

Stacey, ow ow ow on the mouth. I had mine out (all 8 of them) when I was 19 and I can tell you that it really sucked the first day or two, but did get better fairly quickly.

Paula, I hear ya on the GS cookies. I bought some for the same reason, but they are definitely the spawn of the devil.


I went to my OB/GYN appt this morning (POKES E!!). Everything looks well, except I got a tetanus shot (ow) and they want me to go get a mole checked out by the dermatologist. Oh, and I am considering Mirena. Anyone have any experience with it (Roddy excluded, of course)??

I love my mirena!

And getting knocked up.

OMG, love it and it is true! More like a 1 dayer if any.

No weight gain from it!

Sorry for the frequent short posts, my daughter is asleep on my lap and I am typing 1 handed.

Hi everyone!!

Trying to get caught up here..A few comments..

LISAPR-thanks for posting the exercises. I think I am most concerned with overall toning of my thighs. I seriously hate them right now.

Erika-Thanks for posting what you did for speed stuff. I am all about speed improvement now. I am also reviewing the plans you sent me awhile back again. I am trying to decide what my plan is going to be for the next few months.

LisaV-Thanks for the leg comments again!! I haven't been doing jillian as much as I should. But I am planning on trying to do it at least 4-5 times a week. I am definitely noticing arm definition though.

Stacey--Ugh. So sorry about the wisdom teeth. I had a hideous experience. It will get better. Take whatever drugs they gave you.. the Vicodin!

Kelly--Hope you are feeling better!

Paula--Woo-hoo for the loss!!!

Lyz--Hope you get some birthday celebration time this weekend!

Liz--So excited for you for the 5k!

Aimee--Is the mechanic guy down in Daytona for bike week??

Ronda--Sounds like the C25K is going well! keep us updated!!

Nancy,Roddy,Kat,LisaZ,Sarah,Steph

As for me, Tracked yesterday and did core stuff. Will probably do more core later. Still a bit sore for me to run or do jillian, but will probably get out for a stroller wog tomorrow, something slow and easy.

I did that happy weight quiz. 169.1. i was thinking 160ish, so it's not too far off.

and someone PLEASE tell me I should not sign up to run a 12k next weekend!!! So tempted though because it is a really popular local race.

Yes he is at bike week. A spur of the moment vacation.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

NANCY, Im posting this for you. This Incident has just occured:
Accidental eating of yummy goodness - Chocolate and cream eclair - 70,000 points Whoopsie daisy.

Did I ever tell you about the Chocolate Buffet? For real. In Boston. A buffet that is entirely chocolate. I was drunk on chocolate.

So yes, If I don't post my food you can hunt me down!

Well, you asked for it

LisaZ, Nancy, Steph, LisaPR - those of you with adsolent young girls. Do your daughters say things that mortify you? Mol and I are butting heads lately, which is normal, but the things she says, I am daily floored? Is it just me? (Alot of it is so self involved - my mom says welcome to my world, but I'm agast just the same.)

Absolutely nothing surprises me anymore.

Don't get Nancy and I started about individually wrapped chocolate. I mean, they are so tiny that it can't possibly add up to anything, right Nance?

Those tiny little seedlings? eh, they don't count. It's like popping a vitamin

No medal, no race.

Evil has arrived in my office...

Ack. Darn those Girl Scouts and their Do-si-Dos

You guys and your hard bling.

OMG. wow. I have GOT to read more carefully.

I went to my OB/GYN appt this morning (POKES E!!).

Keep poking

I don't have a tom. Period.

If I didn't love you, I'd hate you for that

(J is fixed after all)

Broken. My boys would tell you he's not fixed, he's broken.

And getting knocked up.

whoo boy.

Sunny - stay strong... you can resist them - really!

Cardio workout - done!

Cathartic thought process and conversation with friend over non fat chai lattes at Starbucks - done and so deserved, needed and helpful.

Feeling awesome at the moment. Who knows how long it will last, but I am taking what I get at the moment.

As an added bonus, one of our contractors was giving out sweatshirts today. Took mine home and was ready to give it away as it was an XL and my mom convinced me to try it on. Well - IT FIT!!!!! So excited about that. Haven't worn a men's XL sweatshirt in a long time. Of course, this thing can't go anywhere near heat, but give me another few months and then it can be dryer bound. The contractor who gave it to me is now my favorite contractor ever (or at least until the novelty of this situation wears off).

Hope everyone is having a great night!
Paula

Ok. So I had, like, 30 vitamins. No big deal.

Nancy - it's about time to order my predators.

They are NOT your friends, Sunny. Friends don't make friends eat Girl Scout Cookies

:Nancy - it's about time to order my predators.

Me too! I totally screwed up and didn't get them ordered last fall. If I had, I would have gotten a free bonus shipment Won't make THAT mistake again.
