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

Liz - movies this weekend?

How is your mom doing?

Mom is getting more tests. Heart seems okay, but just tests, tests, tests. Thanks for asking!

Movies - I so want to see Adventureland. Friday we are going to this bizarre thing - BYOB Karaoke at Jodi's gym. Yes, you read that right. How can we NOT go???

Oh I think we need a byob @ the gym report. Glad to hear that your mom's heart is ok.

In other news, one of my reps told me that she is seeing a doctor for blood clots in her lungs. She was much more calm that I was! I get protective of my employees and it rips me to pieces hearing stuff like this (especially the ones who act like they care about their job). I swear she can't even be 23. They found out that it was caused by her birth control. Wow!

Lyz ~ you will be the to know the answers once I start asking the questions.

Amiee - shocking!

OMG.

I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. See that's what I'm talking about.

Hey cutie - guess whose birthday is tomorrow? Do you know?

NO! Is it you? I should know this.

WEIRD. And - you and Jodi don't go to the same gym?!?!?

Hi everyone,

I am alive. Just trying to get so much done in a short period of time. So here is the rundown of where things stand so far:

- dad has been moved to the rehab unit. Hopefully, he will only be there until Monday, but it depends on him and he is no exactly motivated right now. So frustrating... he needs to work the knee to keep the scar tissue from forming.

- mom is tired... plain and simple. Because of dad's therapy session she can stay home and rest tomorrow.

- I worked out with Jesse tonight. Totally needed it for so many reasons. The workout was good and focused on my arms and upper body strength. Gotta work towards those pushups...

- I am packing to head to Martha's Vineyard tomorrow for a small family reunion. This was planned before dad's surgery and mom wouldn't let my sister and I cancel. It should be fun, but I'll be worried about mom for the weekend. Thankfully, there are some good friends here that will jump in and help.

I have been reading and have so much I want to say on the whole body issue debate, but I am too tired to type it all out. To summarize it, I really wish that we could get to a point where we are happy with the lifestyle we are living and not focusing solely on the results on our bodies. At the end of the day, the lifestyle choices are what benefits are lives in so many more ways than the smaller body will. Our society places so much emphasis on looks that we often lose sight of the big picture. As for kids being coddled, I won't say much because I am not a parent, but it worries me that kids aren't being taught how to handle disappointment in the little ways before they have to learn it in the big ways. Helicopter parents are not necessarily always a good thing. Again, not a parent so I don't know how I would be - could change my mind totally so take it for what it is worth.

All right - enough babbling. I am off to bed.
Paula

Lyz ~ you will be the to know the answers once I start asking the questions.

Oh come on Amiee play fair.

NO! Is it you? I should know this.

No, it's not me. It's someone you love much more than me.




Paula - hope you have a fabolous weekend despite everything.

Nancy - Are you off tomorrow?

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

No, it's not me. It's someone you love much more than me.

Who do I love more than you Lisa?

Patrick Swazy?

Malcolm?

Heidi Klum?

The Reese Cup?

WHO?

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Ohh, Victoria Beckham? (Googled it)

Yes, love me some Vicky B. She's classy and trampy all rolled into one.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good morning, all!

Had a whole post typed out last night and for some reason it didn't *stick* (where's the flip the bird simley? I need him right now ) no time for a do-over. So.

Tomorrow I leave for San Antonio, returning Friday. It's time consuming enough to get ready for vaca - but when you have someone staying at your house while you are away, it adds another entire level of angst and preparations.

Body fat - 25.7%. Not going to offer comment, just reporting for Lisa.

Paula - glad to hear dad is fiesty.

Roddy, Sunny, LisaV, Dawn - all of you who are among the missing-come back and play, ok?

I'll be back later - hope you all have a great Friday

OMG, so young! How scary for her.

WEIRD. And - you and Jodi don't go to the same gym?!?!?

No, Jodi and her husband go to this local gym. It was bigger, it closed and their memberships got sold to a tiny gym, now it's expanded and moved again. It's very family-like - they have a Christmas party with the clients, not just staff - but it's not for me. Non-existent childcare and not as polished as my gym, which has a bunch of locations in my area. Mine is a Jersey-based, actually a county-based chain. "Keeping Jersey Strong!" is the motto. But they have good classes and childcare and stuff because they are bigger, and I can go anywhere based on classes. AND it's CHEAPER! YES! You'd think the smaller family one would be cheaper but it's not at all. In the new place they have nicer spin bikes and childcare now, but I swear it's like $50 more a month than mine!

Also, the stuff I cared about, because I did look at her gym, she didn't care about then. Kwim? I need day classes and a nice kid room, and she needed night classes and stuff she and her husband can do together.

Who do I love more than you Lisa?

Patrick Swazy?

Malcolm?

Heidi Klum?

The Reese Cup?

WHO?

That was hilarious! Reese's Cup!

Ohh, Victoria Beckham? (Googled it)

She so is.

Hi! Still here. I will be on tonight and get all caught up! I am slowly but surely getting out of the weeds.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Tomorrow I leave for San Antonio, returning Friday. It's time consuming enough to get ready for vaca - but when you have someone staying at your house while you are away, it adds another entire level of angst and preparations.

It's so so hard to go on vacation. Just the prep alone is enough to make me rethink it. I need a pa.

Nancy - I know what your husband "does" for a living and I'm betting money there will be a computer. Will you be checking in?

Also, the stuff I cared about, because I did look at her gym, she didn't care about then. Kwim? I need day classes and a nice kid room, and she needed night classes and stuff she and her husband can do together.

Yeah, her tune will change very soon. Ah, to have a free evening and randomly hit the gym. Hahahahaha. Sorry Jodi.

She so is.

I know right!

Hi All. Another busy week. Hope everyone is doing well.

How depressing.

I'm not as loved as a peanut butter cup. But then again completely understand.

Heidi. I adore Heidi. Hysterical woman.

Ohh, Victoria Beckham? (Googled it)

Yes, love me some Vicky B. She's classy and trampy all rolled into one.

Good Google. Happy Birthday Mrs. Beckham.

Good morning, all!

I know you're not commenting Nancy but that's great. So was Lisa's...but she wasn't thrilled. Here's the thoughts -

Female (under 40) - 16%-28% Fitness, 20%-35% Health

Female (over 40) - 16%-33% Fitness, 20%-38% Health

Hi! Still here. I will be on tonight and get all caught up! I am slowly but surely getting out of the weeds.

Erika. I have an Erika sighting people.

Hi All. Another busy week. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Roddy.


I just got home and it's so beautiful out. Supposed to near 70 and it's sunny, sunny, sunny.,,,

Can't wait to hear all about it Liz. Have fun.

to your mom. She must be so tired. Here's to a good week and some peace for you all.

 

[BrcsDisneyPrncs]

Hey all - was a long holiday, long few weeks. I've been in a terrible mood and been super busy so I kinda disappeared for a bit.

Haven't read in a few days, have to catch up, but i wanted to let ppl know that i was still hovering in existance somewhere!

Hope to catch up this weekend as I'm home alone all weekend.... off to read!

Hi--checking in from my FAB new iMac! Holy crap this thing is amazing! The screen is gi-freaking-normous and it has a terra byte hard drive. And I have absolutely NO time to play with it. From the box to the DIS in 4:30. (That's minutes, not seconds. Talk about plug-n-play!)

Ok, sorry for the tech talk. Just in awe if this thing.

 

[adsrtw]

I have an update on the girl at work who had bloodclots in her lung. Her CT scan came back normal, so they think she might have a pulled muscle in her chest. I'm taking that as good news.

itsn't it awesome! I so love my imac!
sorry drunken post! BUT I LOVE MY IMAC! it's os awesome!

He totally unplugs on vaca. Seth, however, seems to be planning on taking his laptop. Has to be able to FB with his GF I think . Who knows. But we might have computer access anyway - we're staying Club/Concierge level.

I'm not bothered by it. Not thrilled, but not upset. It is pretty much where I figured I was.

I'm sorry. Was that ENGLISH? Pig Latin? Jibberish? What the he!! were you trying to say?

OMG. How do you go from "blood clot in the lung" to "pulled muscle"? Seriously. Does her Dr. ALWAYS press the panic button? I mean - I'm sure she is totally relieved. That's a HUGE difference. But come on! That is just two extremes!

itsn't it awesome! I so love my imac!
sorry drunken post! BUT I LOVE MY IMAC! it's os awesome!

I'm so close to being ready for my vacation. A few details to wrap up in the a.m. (ummm... like the actual PACKING part ) We head out for the airport around noon.

oh - I'll post my results for the week tomorrow so that I can get them counted....
