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

[lisaviolet]

Closing in three weeks. So miss my pets. We have visitation with them - at my parents. SIL is allergic to them.

Nancy. to you. Such important fabulous days. Glad you're having a good time.

Paula - sorry I missed you. Can't wait to hear what the girls say about your weight. Mouths dropping I'm sure.

Bathtubs? Bathrooms? I'm just slow.

Hmmmm:

No cutie. I'm saying I have no baths so hot diggity dog!!!!!!


Yes, there are two bathrooms. A partial near my room (office/den window front of house in pic) and a full in Jean's end (Jean's end has a second bedroom that we are going to use for quiet room. The full - they opted for a glass shower. And I like that.

If I miss a bathtub - the basment has the bathroom roughed in.

It's only 1334 and I'm tripling my living space!!! Too funny. We are laughing at the kitchen. I have no idea what I'm going to put in those cupboards. No idea.

 

[lisaviolet]

And you know what is really funny. When I move in on July 17th it will be like "wow this is what my house looks like".

We were always up in the models. So we know the model and layout. And we were given the key by the sales agent to see the drywalled model for quick closing.

This seller was next door. She invites us in like we're Hansel and Gretel. Come and see the two bedroom finished and tells us she has it on the market. So I'm looking through quickly like you're intruding (She was welcoming) and then decided to put an offer in without going to see it again.

And yesterday - long story - deal was ending at 5:00 and financing came through at 4:55 to seal the deal.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Ha. Yes, I meant two bathrooms. Or 2 toilets. Not bathtubs literally.

So exciting and the MLS listing is lovely. Lovely.

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG, Lisa! SO SO SO SO excited and happy for you! And the space! More than triple what you had! Seriously, I am bursting for you!

Clearly, I am NOT camping this week-end. Long story. But we are up at camp, which is nice. Listening to the loons now.

See you on the flip side!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

LISAV!!! No more being a bedouin traveler! So, so excited for you!

Erika - not camping at camp? Wait. What? I'm confusing myself

Kat - how's the hockey????

Paula - have a great weekend!

Dawn - hope you are having a safe trip

Amy, Amiee, LisaPR, Steph, Kelly, LisaZ, Ronda....how are you all????




I'm so off track I think I need my compass checked Sun is out for the moment here - but....it's supposed to rain later. Again. I am SO sick of the rain. Everything here is just a mud-fest.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ha, Nancy! I know, the rain! OMG, the f-ing rain!

Yes, we were supposed to go camping. But instead we are at our lake house (which we call a "camp").

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I figured it was something like that...not tenting it, but instead cottage/cabin/lake housing it.

The sun is out here. Sounds nice, right? Well according to the weatherman, all that's going to do is warm the atmosphere and fire up some more nasty thunderstorms this afternoon

National Weather Service is looking at storm damage to determine if there was a tornado here in CT yesterday. They're rare around here, but they do happen.

oh and flies. Lyz! I saw my first flies in the barn this morning Just got a double shipment of predators, so hopefully those pests won't be multiplying. That is of course if all those predators haven't drown in the persistant rains we've been having.

 

[lisaviolet]

I figured. I didn't think you were obsessed with tubs. Thanks Lyz.

OMG, Lisa! SO SO SO SO excited and happy for you! And the space! More than triple what you had! Seriously, I am bursting for you!

That lake house looks so beautiful.

Thanks for your thoughts Erika. It's been a long haul.

I"m so off track too Nancy. Really. I can't even tell you when I've done my water. Even Ms. Consistency is off her exercise. And when you're a person who doesn't watch food much well .

Thanks for your excitement Nancy!

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh and Jean has expressed to me that she actually prayed for two bathrooms. Which downtown would have been like winning the lottery.

Some pray for peace. Some pray for family members. Some pray simply for thankfulness. Jean prays to get me the he!! out of her bathroom space.

No neither of us are primpers at all. It's my not as neat as her issue.

 

[lisaviolet]

Listening to the loons now.

How the he!! did they clear customs?!??!

 

[3DisneyKids]

WOW, slow day here. I got in a 5-miler. ALL HILLS. OMG, it hurt. But in a good way.

Now just drinking wine by the fire. Ok, ok, I came in from the fire for a moment (have to do a tiny bit of work tonight).

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey guys!

Im at a concert all day today, fingers crossed for good eating/drinking choices!

KAT - CSI:NY - OH MY GOODNESS. We NEED to discuss this further

Have a great Sunday everyone

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning! OMG, slept till 9am! All of us...kids, too! Can't remember the last time that happened! I feel RESTED. No idea when that happened last!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Twelve hours??? Are you kidding me?

Liz and Kat, you two are excused. Oh, Paula is, too. Everyone else???

Core is done. Word.

 

[goofyfan-12]

LisaV - so flipping excited for you.... The floor plan looks fabulous and the fact that it is in a resort area is just wonderful. So happy for you!!!!

Erika - sorry about the not camping thing, but spending a weekend on the lake listening to loons is not all bad right?

Kat - how was the hockey?

Nancy - that bright yellow thing in the sky is the sun. It comes out from time to time. (really)

Lyz - how are you?

Liz - hope all is well in New Jersey!

Amy - how were the birthday festivities for little D?

Amiee - she's home!!! can't wait for the TR.

Kelly - how was the concert?

Who am I forgetting - Ronda, LisaPR, LisaZ, Sunny, Jennifer (where did you go), Dawn, Roddy and everyone else... hope you had a grea weekend.

The weekend was awesome and I got many OMG - you look fantastic. I was interrogated about how I did it, how is it going, etc and everyone was very impressed (yeah!). Told them about my races and my plans to do a tri next year and their mouths just dropped. They are being ultra supportive which I love, but it was so cool to see their reaction to the new me. Talk about motivation to keep going.

I went on three amazing hikes / walks while I was there. Two were to burn calories and one was because my friend's ten year old asked me if I would go on a hike with him. Couldn't say no to that adorable little face and the conversation we had while on the trail was just priceless. The hikes in the mornings were great. We were on some snowshoeing trails and covered a fair amount of ground. I want to say that we did about two miles, but I am guessing (maybe I do need the garmin after all). There were some good hills on the trails so I really got a workout from that which was good considering what I ate on Saturday.

I ate so much crap (chips, cookies and lots of really yummy homemade guacamole) that I actually was sick to my stomach. Like an idiot, I forgot that avacado is a fatty food and my whole lack of a gallbladder thing might have a problem processing that. Ugh - I was dying Saturday night so no dinking for me that night. I got plenty in on Friday night so all is good. We'll find out what the damage is tomorrow at JC, but I had fun so that is what counts. I am home and back on my plan.

So, now I am home doing laundry and getting ready for the week ahead. Hope you all had a great weekend.

I bet they were floored Paula. What a lovely moment.

(And thanks for your thoughts)

I got on the scale. I have not done my water for months. Months. Exercise hit and miss - which is so strange for me. And food - conscious eating. Not much.

And it showed. I'm up 15 pounds since my lowest in early March. EEEEk. And the scariest thing is I can barely feel it in my clothes. EEEk again.

But it's a new me. I would have freaked in tears and disgust merely a year ago. Jean says, "Lisa - we have been under such stress - taken away from regular workout areas etc - your own kitchen - give yourelf a flippin' break will ya!". And I actually listened.

A year ago I would have heard "blah blah blah" and beat myself up.

And when I got the house on Friday one of the first thoughts was "ah routine - my own kitchen again soon - my own workout area to figure out - nice". My first thoughts.

And you have to think back to wonderful memories. When I reached the weight that I am now I was ecstatic at that time. Just thrilled. Yes, I got 15 pounds below this and I will again but good change of mental oiutlook to think back about how thrilled I once was here.

I know what I want. 190s - 14s everywhere - not just hit and miss in some stores. And fit. Don't want to go much past - I'm vain - my face needs the fat!!!!! Aging - face or body.

 

[HockeyKat]

Wait? Am I waking up the thread? At 12:40PM?


Hockey was, okay. I had a great time meeting my DIS couple friends on Saturday, but the rest was sort of blah, I guess.

I am NO good with the early morning games. And, well, we lost with flair... 20-0, 15-0, and 12-1. Wound up with the 4th game as a forfeit, which is a long story.

Lisa, your new place looks fabulous. Can't wait for more pics!

Kelly!! What did you think?? I am sooo sad about the death. And the rest, big meanie writers with their cliffhangers!!

I am back to documentation... whee.
