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

[cathie1327]

Good morning everyone! Actually, it's almost afternoon here haha.

Hope you are all having a good day.

Last night a few friends and I went out for a very long long looooong overdue ladies' night out. And it was a BLAST! I had a bit more to drink than I'd originally bargained for, because we found a dance club with no cover and free drinks all night for ladies!!!!!!! Those are rare these days! So today I'm sort of feeling the reprecussions, but not just the hangover. My body is so sore from dancing all night!!!! Which is a good thing because that means I got my workout!!!!

So tonight will be a relaxed, mellow night of cake decorating. No more wildness for me!

Hope everyone's day is fantastic!

Some big news in my world. On August 24th, I will be employed again! YEAH! A really good opportunity with great pay and benefits. 5 weeks vacay to start!!

And I braved the scale this morning, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I only gained a couple pounds on vacation. I was expecting way worse.

I am getting my vacation and race pics organized so I will be putting some up soon!

: Yay for Amy! Awesome news all around!


So...something very strange happened here today. It rained As of 5:00 we are 1/10" away from the all-time-wettest-July record. 1/10". Now - you all KNOW how competitive I am. We can't come this far and not BREAK the record!!! So, my apologies to Paula who is camping...but I'm going out to do a raindance right now


Oh - and anyone else notice this little beauty??? ain't she cute?

Happy to hear Cathie. It's nice that through everything you had a fun night out. Free drinks. Yum.

No, I totally missed that one. But cute. Do you dance too? Hey, how did that hip hop tape go?


glad you had fun, Cathie

Crap - now I have to get off responding to check out the new icon. Far too lazy am I - even if she is cute.

Raindance.

Hey, hey hey - guess what I just umpacked. I save nada - nothing. I'm a thrower that comes from hoarders - remember I told my parents that their basement is child abuse when they die. Back on topic. But I found my lunch box. Guess what it is - clue is already written. Cutie come out and play.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh and I got a bike today. Jean and I got the same bike - ridiculous. I refused to get the same helmet. I don't even think I told you what happened to our poor little bikes that lived in a condo parking lot.

Anyway, I love it. The freedom of a bike. The FREEDOM!!!!!

And I found something in this town that I never knew all these years of coming here. There is a spit going out from downtown - I every single time I say "downtown" for our main street that's what they call it - anyway I thought I knew where it ended and I was wrong - it's so secluded past the historic grain elevator - way out in the water. And the bay seems like an ocean. So I laid on rocks for over an hour today. Lovely. Lake Ontario (Toronto) never seemed like an ocean. Can't wait to take pictures. Out of battery power again!!!!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

Amy - would love to hear more about the position.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Good Morning Everyone!

Dawn -

Amy - Congratulations on the new job

Ive been so busy here with work I feel like I haven't checked in here in forever! Im still plodding along with the tracking and the water, exercise this week has seemed like much harder work - its been constantly raining so I haven't been able to go out for a walk so all my exercise has been done indoors - im going stir crazy!

Tonight I am going out with my best friend - Im actually her 'plus-one' at a family members birthday party. She doesn't want to take a date with her, theres no-one shes interested in and she doesn't want to field the 'why aren't you with a date' questions on her own so Im her date! It should be fun, letting our hair down for a night! Lots of dancing so thats todays exercise sorted <---(that is actually how I dance!)

Have a great day everyone

Hey, hey, hey? That HAS to be FAT ALBERT!

OMG. That must be it. HAS to be. Love me some Dumb Donald... and Rudy & Mushmouth!

I'm right, right?




for the bike! But...what's a "spit"?

Have fun tonight Kelly!

 

[adsrtw]

Hey everybody!

Managed to get a wog (mostly walked) in for about an hour and 1/2 before the rain started again today. I'm planning to buy wood very soon.

Off to play on the DIS...

 

[adsrtw]

Wow, am I really waking up the thread at 4:30??

Wonderful day today. Got a nice wog in probably around 5 miles (go lost in music). I'm going to drive my path later.

I hope everybody is doing well.

Nancy - no worries... The rain stopped minutes after I pulled into the campground and didn't start again until I was packed up. Great timing right? So - did you break the record???

Good Morning Everyone!

Kelly - I so feel your friend's pain on that one. Hope the party was a good one.

Hi everyone! I am back from the woods and am so looking forward to sleeping in a real bed tonight. Don't get me wrong, my tent and air mattress were comfy enough, but it is not the same as your own bed. The weekend was a good one filled with laughter and good times with family. No bears or other woodland creature sightings (always a plus), but my bottle of vodka is definitely lighter than when it went up there... yum!

Got in a good hike on Saturday morning and two more brisk walks later in the day. We'll see what the damages from the never ending array of snacks that were available are tomorrow night when I weigh in at JC. I'm not sure if this is just plain sad or not, but I came home from camp and went to the gym to get my bike miles in (it was raining so there was no way I could get my usual Sunday morning bike ride in). My name is Paula and I am an exercise addict... when the heck did that happen? But I digress - so now I am neck high in laundry and unpacking. My tent needs to get aired out so it can dry, but who knows when that is going to happen given the weather.

Sounds like you all had a great weekend...

Amy - so happy for you on the new job!!!!

Dawn - sending hugs to you as you go through a difficult week. Leaving Treynor behind will be hard, but it is going to be just as hard for him to say goodbye to you. Hang in there...

Cathie - can't wait to see pics of the new cake.

Lisa - I am busting out the banana to celebrate the fact that you are unpacked. (sorry Erika) Congrats on the bike. Must have details on what you and Jean bought.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Talk to you soon.

Paula

 

[adsrtw]

Welcome back Paula! I'm hoping for the least amount of damage from the weekend festivities. Hum, I remember you being concerned after Odyssey (I think it was that) and I remember that you survived weigh in with a loss.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Holy Quiet Weekend Batman!

Nancy - no worries... The rain stopped minutes after I pulled into the campground and didn't start again until I was packed up. Great timing right? So - did you break the record???


NO! All that and we were off by 0.07". Can you believe it?


My name is Paula and I am an exercise addict... when the heck did that happen?

Bike riding goddess! You are SO hooked!

I'm so glad that the weather held out for you while you were camping! I can't imagine tenting it in the rain I'm with EE - I'm sure you'll come thru this weekend relatively unscathed.



My weekend was ok. Not too bad in the food department. A bit much on the drinky portion last night however My boys just returned today from a hot, sticky, dirty week in North Carolina. <---- that's me!

I'm super tired tonight....need a good night sleep so I can get my week started off right!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Ok people. WAKE UP! Come out and play!

.....Don't make me break out my whistle.

 

[goofyfan-12]

I'm up... I'm up...

BTW - when do you get a whistle? I don't recall that permission was ever granted for you to get one? Hmmm... I think we have a rogue whistle out there... just sayin...

Oh and Nancy, off by .07"? That is so not fair!

I am officially back to work this morning. So want to be back up at the lake right now. Oh well - when I hit the lottery, I can buy a lake house. Wait - I think I have to play the lottery in order to win it. Is that how it works?

 

[toledo13]

Good afternoon all-

What a long day!!!!!

Is it time to go home from work yet???

 

[AKASnowWhite]

BTW - when do you get a whistle? I don't recall that permission was ever granted for you to get one? Hmmm... I think we have a rogue whistle out there... just sayin...

Nah, I just self-appointed me a whistle. I figure it's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission


I am officially back to work this morning. So want to be back up at the lake right now. Oh well - when I hit the lottery, I can buy a lake house. Wait - I think I have to play the lottery in order to win it. Is that how it works?

yeah. Works better that way. I saw the powerball drawing recently and exclaimed loudly "HEY - THOSE ARE MY NUMBERS" ....but before anyone could get too excited I had to add "well, they *woulda been* had I bought a ticket"....

Is it time to go home from work yet???

I'm sure you're close now....


So far I've had a good day with exercise, food, water.....why is it Monday always starts off so hopeful and full of promise and by Friday it's all shot to he!!?

I know far too much about hot, sticky weeks in North Carolina!

Next time you should come with him and we can sneak off to the beach...
