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

[lisaviolet]

Lisa--my bad. Not this week-end. Next week-end. I will e-mail you once I have specifics.

Yeah!!!

And I was thinking about you today and worrying. The city still stinks in parts. The strike is over but my God the foul smell in some places while they resume pick up. People were beyond irate and I didn't quite understand the intensity of emotions. (Most times back I was in the downtown core and I guess the powers that be protected that area - today I was in some residential downtown areas - ooo - eee doesn't even cut it)

Ummm, now I do. I can't imagine smelling that for weeks. My condo - geez would have had quite the smell. There 300-400 units.

It will be long gone when you get here. I hope you are downtown.

E ~ here is my challenge info:

Exercise - 2 60+ min sessions, & 3-45 min sessions
Water ~ through the roof

Also, officially re-started C25K yesterday.

Good for you Amiee.

So. My workout partner may have Lyme disease She doesn't have the results back yet...but should any time now.

So sorry Nancy.

Thanks for the sympathy. I am feeling pretty good tomorrow, but it is usually day two when the pain sets in so we shall see. Jesse is cruel at times, but he pushes me so I guess that is ok.

Cathie - the cake looks great!

Amiee - I am with you on the someday I'll have a house and a yard.

Nancy - hope your friend is ok and responds well to the treatment if she does get the diagnosis.

Hi everyone else... it is crazy at work this week so no time for a proper post. Thinking of you all and will chime in later tonight once I get home.

Paula

Pushing you is fantastic you strong woman!!!!

And Cathie - loved the cake - and even more so love your pictures.

I wonder if I can grow extra hours in my garden. Hum, wouldn't that be nice! I am still without a specialist, so I am doing both my work & and my specialist's work. Grr!

Had a yummy treat for dinner. Oven broiled zucchini.

Listening to the podcast now, will be back later though.

If you figure that out, please let me know. I could use a few more hours in the day. On the plus side, I did interview a potential candidate for the admin position in our office that has been empty for over a year now. Provided that the folks at the State like her, I may not have to do any filing for a while.

Big kick off meeting tomorrow to get this project going. Very excited and very nervous all at the same time. It should be interesting if I get any sleep tonight.

It has been way too quiet around here lately. Where is everyone? Those who are travelling I'll excuse, but what about the rest of you?

Please come out and play!!!!

Yes that means you LisaPR, LisaZ, Ronda, Sunny, Susan, Ann, Stacey, Stephanie, Steph, Roddy and all you other lurkers...

 

[adsrtw]

Paula, I am throwing pixie dust your way hoping that you get to stop filing very quickly!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - hope your friend is ok and responds well to the treatment if she does get the diagnosis.

Thanks Paula. She did indeed get the positive Lyme result today...so she'll start treatment & hopefully be feeling better soon.

Oh how I wish!

I agree Paula. So.very.quiet.


Paula - love to hear about the hiring possiblities. Gives me hope for all those job seekers out there...


LisaV - help me out. Where exactly is Ottawa? And what's it like there? Looks like Stephen will be spending a bit of time there this fall....I may tag along at some point..

I'm here, I'm here. But since I closed the bar with my girlfriends tonight, I am busy getting caught up with work.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good morning


Nice morning here - the humidity has broken, the air is cool & dry.......more from me after my bike excursion...

 

[toledo13]

Good morning everyone!! Happy almost TGIF!! I tell you what I'm ready for the week to be over....

...but this Saturday we're hanging out with a girl who is... less than a friend. She asked if we could hang out, get dinner, etc... and I'm too nice to say no.

Ah well...

Happy Thursday!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

stressed.

OMG. am I stressed.

really - going for my bike ride now. Hopefully it'll make me feel better....

 

[cathie1327]

Cathie - the cake looks great!

Thanks!!! It was a fun cake to do, and even though it had a bit of a snafu, I think it came out better after the "mistake" ..... I swear, will I ever be able to get through a cake without something major happening lol

Yeah!!!
And Cathie - loved the cake - and even more so love your pictures.

Awww thank you so much!!!! They're honestly two of my favorite things to do in the world, though I'm a little more cautious about sharing my photography, just becasue it's so subjective...what I love and find artistic someone may think looks ridiculous....and well....when I'm proud of my work it's hard to take that kind of criticism haha!!!

When you get those extra hours harvested, will you send some my way? Seriously, I need them!!!

I LOVE zuchinni in the most ridiculous way possible. I can't stand it raw, but cooked, I'd eat it all day if I could.

Loved the podcast this week.....good rant from Pete. We were due for one too, dontchya think


Hope everyone else is having a good morning!!!! I woke up to incesssant biyatching this morning from my family....apparently I am lazy and don't clean that I am never in (except the bathroom, and I clean it once a week) and need to pay for the food that I DEFNIITELY don't eat since I buy my own food to fit my weight watchers program.... Seriously, there's a reason I left home for the first time at 17. These people drive me nuts and are always putting blame on others. Very frustrating. Shooting for mid-late October to hopefully be OUT!!!!!!

I'll be baking mini cakes tonight to sell at the flea market this weekend...very excited!!!!!! Just going to have to pop gum in my mouth so I don't do too many taste tests

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi...

Made it through my day of meetings and lived to tell the tale. I am mentally wiped out from all of the meeting prep and such. Can't wait to go home and just chill. Of course, I need to find my desk first and believe me that is a disaster area.

I treated myself to a chicken souvlaki sandwich from my favorite greek truck for lunch so I need to watch my food intake for the rest of the day, but it was totally worth it!!! Throw in a core workout tonight and all will be good.

I am with Ann in that I am so happy that the weekend is almost here. No major plans other than seeing the new Harry Potter movie and getting in some golf.

Chat with you all later...

Paula

Hey guys!

Lots more work drama. This is either going to make me or put me in an early grave. Will be back later with details.

I hope everybody is ok.

Amiee - sorry to hear that. Gotta love the whole love / hate relationship we have with our careers right? I am rooting for the make you option!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi everyone...

Still exhausted and I really don't want to go to work tomorrow, but the paycheck calls to me so in I will go. Workout went fine - all core tonight. Tomorrow is my rest day - YEAH!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[adsrtw]

Agh, the work drama:

The other supervisor is leaving the department. That leaves moi to run the department of about 30 collectors and juggle about 50 clients. Filling my old position is on hold...again.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

EE & Paula - for work related crud!

I have had a very busy day. And a lower back *issue*. It crops up every now and then. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! I may even have to take a day off from exercise

I'm officially entering my pre-mourning period Seth leaves for college 2 weeks from today....so...I'm going to be indulging in a self-induced pity party for a little bit here....


Hope everyone else is doing well....miss you guys!

 

[toledo13]

What a morning! SOOO STRESSFUL here at work! . I literally hung up the phone this morning and was like 'I QUIT!'

TGIF- SeRiOuSlY~!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Yes! TGIF indeed!

My life is a bit crazy right now (ha. what else is new, right?)...but it's crazier than ususal. Nothing bad - just...chaotic. I'm simply focusing on keeping my head above water for the next few weeks - enjoying the moments I'm in...

 

[honeymo78]

Hi Ladies!!! Sorry I've been MIA lately but work has been a big ball of stress and craziness the past week or so. Here's the update for nearly the past two weeks.

Last week I did 6/7 breakfasts, only 4/7 lunch, 3/7 dog walks and 1/7 gym. Between weather and work schedules it was tough to get in more exercise. On the plus side I did weigh myself last Sunday and I had lost 3 lbs

This week was bad too. So far only 2 dog walks but I hope to get one in tonight and and both days this weekend. No gym time either. I should have gone today but I caved after the week I've had and ate a bag of popcorn. Only 3 healthy lunches this week and 3 breakfasts. Two days I didn't eat breakfast at all, not on purpose but I got caught up in stuff at work and before I knew it, it was nearly lunchtime.

I did have a good moment last night. I tried on 2 pairs of shorts that I really love but were definitely way too tight in the waist/hip when I had tried to wear them back in May. While they aren't super comfortable, they are super close to all day wearable. Right now I think they'd get uncomfortable after a few hours because they are still a little tight but as long as I get back on track I should have no problems wearing them at the beginning of Oct.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll try to pop in more often as work allows. Hopefully it should slow down for a little bit.
