In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate... Vol. 6: Goddesses just want to have fun

Hey All,

Back from NC. Good trip, MIL was surprised. Found my precious Fat Tire, so I was happy! I even got in a run and some core stuff.

Definitely in for a challenge. I have got get re focused on running. So, running at least 3 times a week. And water. I don't know why I have such problems with the water. I know everything is better when I get in all my water. I am hopeful to get below 175 by the end of the month.

will be back later with some comments...
 
MIL. She's young though. Where does she get these things about the bar? So funny Kelly. I mean Bella. :rotfl:

Who knows where she gets her 'quirks' :confused3:rotfl:

Kelly, how far are you w/ CSI:NY?? I can't wait to get your reaction from the season finale.

There are four episodes left in this series! Even though I don't want the series to finish, I can't wait for the finale!

I think I have finally gotten past the hump of getting back on track eating-wise. Or at least, I no longer am looking at my coworkers and judging how much meat I could get out of each one...

:lmao:

Welcome back!

I have just eaten dinner, which was lovely and I have drank 2 litres of water today :yay:
 
OMG, have I really not posted yet today? Yes, I am THAT busy. All of this end-of-the-year crap combined with baseball is killing me. So draining.

Lots to comment on. And need to post the challenge stuff so we can start this week-end.

Back latah.
 
Um -yeah - I want the dinner story.

Ugh to deciding weather to go to work outside the home. That's a hard one. At least your kids are school age now. And your daughter can watch your son - when she's not at practice. More money is more money.

We got the hogs out last night. First Joe Perry (black one). (Steven Tyler (white) is at least 30 more lbs than JoeP.) JoeP gets out and he's a scardy cat. Doesn't understand why we are subjecting him to a walk. He runs around like a mad man. We put him back in and get out Steven. While Mol is walking around with him, I put feed in the pen so JoeP gets a chance to eat without Stevens bullying ways. Steven goes into convusions. He heard the food hit the trough. And he could see JoeP eating. HE. WANTED. BACK. IN. Bad. He went round and round the fence for 10 minutes. Good excercise for him. He was moaning and groaning. It was funny.

Ok, must work. Or pretend to. Tootles.

Tootles. Love it. :lmao:

And loved the story. Steven goes into convulsions. :rotfl2: Food. What a pull.

Lyz, :laughing:!!

LisaV, sorry that things are so crazy. Wish I could send you our weight set to use for a while (since I use the gym and D, well, we won't go there).

LisaPR, I can't really weigh on your dilemna as I have never been there. I can just send you a :hug: as you work it out.

Kelly, how far are you w/ CSI:NY?? I can't wait to get your reaction from the season finale.

Good for you Kat. Not on your coworkers though. Poor things. :lmao:

And as for me. Thanks.

I just need to figure this no machines, no weight options. There are so many options. I just feel too drained not to have routine right now. I'm simply just being stubborn. But I must get on it since we all know I only work on exercise not food. Could be ugly.

Good on the water there kiddo. Baby Bella.

Latah. Much latah. You know what night it is, don't cha?

NBA Finals!!! Game One.
 

And I'm suffering here Nancy. No machines. So fine - go onto Jillian or do your kicks for all intervals. No weights. So fine - do more push ups for the weight intervals and then I get tired of thinking. I've got to get on it. Sick too. kasfdjladskfjldskfjlaskdjfl;ksd.

ugh. Thinking. That's what drags me down too. I just want to DO it. Not think about what I'm going to do....

Steven goes into convusions. He heard the food hit the trough. And he could see JoeP eating. HE. WANTED. BACK. IN. Bad. He went round and round the fence for 10 minutes. Good excercise for him. He was moaning and groaning. It was funny.

oy. Biting your co-workers would not go over well on your next performance review. :scared1: Just sayin'.


Just finished watching the dvd of the H.S. Drama production of Guys & Dolls. Did I mention that our "Nicely-Nicely" won "best actor in a supporting role" at the Connecticut Drama Awards over Memorial Day weekend? :confused3 Well, he did. I'm so proud.



So. We are getting a new goat. He's arriving tomorrow afternoon (Sorry Erika - I'm not road tripping to Maine - my friend is instead :sad2:). Apparently this guy is a Houdini. Gets out of every fence. Could be interesting....:eek: Thankfully Stephen seems up to the challenge of attempting to contain our new Roaming Romeo.....:lmao:
 
Lyz, :laughing:!!

That has got to be one of the funniest lines I have read lately. That and the story of Lyz's pigs... :rotfl2:

I am wiped out. Had a great core workout with Jesse and now I need sleep.

LisaV - enjoy the finals...

talk to you all tomorrow,
Paula

I laughed so hard picturing this! Maybe I can try this for diet and excersize for me. If I run around the house a million times smelling and hearing others enjoy food it might just work. Lyz - you will be featured on Oprah next year for the newest diet/excersize trend! Who needs spinning or core yoga?:rotfl2:

Countertops here finally! Graduation pics at 5 p.m. then to the stadium for graduation ceremony. I am going to be a mess. Cried talking to my Regional Upline with Tupperware today and was so embarrased since we were not talking about Treyner at all!

Had to do one of his senior posters last night that they will hang up during the all night grad party tonight. That was tough. Memory lane of pics is pure torture.

This is the summer line-up.

June 18-24 Sioux Falls, SD soccer.
June 25-July 3rd - Florida to see friends from Ireland (driving for a quick trip)
July 12-18th - family burn camp in Northern MN
July 31st - Aug 8th - Colorado road trip for college drop off

I am wanting my jaw wired shut for the summer. My kids probably do as well but for different reasons!:lmao:

Lot's more going on but will need to post more later.

I will try to upload some pics later this weekend. Carsyn has a soccer tourney so run and run and run!

Thanks to all for the well wishes.
 
Happy Friday!

Okay, I am wimping out and claiming thread bankruptcy. It is my first time doing so. You all posted ALOT while I was gone!

Rainy/Stormy friday here. Delena and I did manage to make it to the dollar store to get some stuff for her party. Got the rest of the stuff I needed for under 20 dollars! The party isn't for three weeks, but we are having company in the house the same week and I don't want to be running around crazy that week.

AND I scored TWO Land's End swimsuits for under 25 dollars AND free shipping!

LisaV-Who are you rooting for in the NBA finals!

Kelly-Enjoy your TV tonight!

Nancy-So, um you are going to post pics of the new goat right??

Everyone- Hope you are having a good Friday!
 
Ohhh - this is going to be interesting. You guys are nuts. The previous owners are laughing, evil like.


He's here. And he is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. And....thus far contained :goodvibes He's been here less than 2 hours, so we'll see what happens. Our roaming goat has never encountered electric fences before, so when we turn him out to pasture tomorrow it could be interesting :scared1:

And yes - I will take his picture tomorrow!


Graduation pics at 5 p.m. then to the stadium for graduation ceremony. I am going to be a mess.

TONIGHT??? Your graduation is TONIGHT? Yikes. Good luck. Don't forget your sunglasses!!!! :cool2:
 
Haven't read a thing.

At camp. Hammered. Tequila.

Gotta get in the shower...and not alone. :)

Does anyone have any idea just how uncomfortable it is to snort COFFEE?? :scared1:Do you? Really? Because I just found out...:lmao:

Lyz- hope things go really well today. De-clutter :woohoo:
 
last night I could have put a big "for RENT" sign on my husband, he was just horrible!!! Love him dearly but OMG, he was just horrible!! I could never sell him, but I would have asked for a refund!! :rotfl2:

Today is better thank god, otherwise I would have had to think really hard about it..................amazing when men are tired they are worse then the children - in my case I dont need a 5th child!!

So needless to say no elip last night! today is the day though -- god how I am dreading it.........one foot in front of the other the rest will follow (or atleast that is what I tell myself :laughing:)

Happy Saturday!! ;)
 
Hey girls I haven't forgotten about you, I have been just really busy trying to get the pool ready! It is amazing on how clear I thought it was when we peeked under the cover. It really wasn't and it didn't help that Stephen dumped the pool cover into the pool! YES, HE REALLY DID THAT! So for two weeks now I have been at the pool all day until work.
As for work..... I am a part timer working 38 hours a week! Yes, that is part time! We are having a steady mess of call ins and people being taken out of work, so I am picking up the slack. As of yesterday we had one girl "fired" resigned and another taken out for at least two weeks. My boss asked me to take some of the times and I asked her when because after Sunday (tomorrow) I have only 4 days off in the rest of the month. And the girl that got "fired" I will be taking her Job which is early afternoons 11am till 730 pm. And it's full time!
As for my weight... I have chosen not to continue with WW only because I wasn't going to the meetings because I am working and paying $45 a month for what NOTHING! I can count points on my own and I really haven't been doing that for about 5 months. SO to me it was a waste of money that I didn't have. I haven't gained which is really good but I have noticed my appetite has gotten bigger again. I am trying to control that. I think with all the exercise that I get from mowing and raking and cleaning the pool is just making me more hungry. I just need to eat the proper foods instead of JUNK!
I hope everyone is doing WELL.

Erika I am glad to see that someone is have some fun "exercise I am lacking in that department! I did have some tequila the other night LOTS of it.
Well off to go Vacuum the pool lets hope I don't pick up any more dead frogs like I did this morning! YUCK:scared1::headache:
 
Um, ooops. I totally forgot that I wrote that! Mas tequila I guess...:rolleyes:

So I am currently sober and just back from spending the whole day at baseball games. Today was the last day of "regular season" and now we go into playoffs. And OF COURSE all 3 kids' teams are in the playoffs. Of course. I swear, this is never going to end.

On a positive baseball note...KELLY! She is the only girl on her team. Yup, it is just her and 10 boys. (Next year she will be old enough for the all-girls league.) Anyway, today she hit a bona fide homerun. Meaning over the fence as opposed to inside the park. And the bases were loaded. Grand Slam Homerun. At the awards ceremony at the end of the game, since it is the end of the regular season, she was awarded MVP. She is bursting! Cam and Riley both played well today, so I have 3 happy kids.

I am so far behind in life. I honestly don't know when I am going to get caught up. But it isn't going to be tonight. I think Jeff went to get more tequila. Apparently he likes the effect it has on me. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

I will get challenge stuff at some point.
 
Hey everybody!

I'm packing & still researching like crazy. I'm considering pulling off a special dinner night (in addition to Taylor's princess afternoon & Ryan's unbirthday celebration at Benihana's). Kona? Cali Grill? Maybe Sanaa? Debating. If anybody has suggestions, I am open.

I hope everybody is having a good weekend.
