In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 7! Princesses? Nope, just us Goddesses!

[3DisneyKids]

OMG, Lyz just called me. At midnight! She just wanted to gab and knew that I was guaranteed to be up and available for good talk. HI LAR IOUS. Maybe she is part vampire, too???

 

[lisaviolet]

Lisa - Have to admit, being the one who inspires others is still a really foreign concept to me and it is one that I am definitely not comfortable with and not sure I ever will be, but what can you do right? I just don't see myself that way, but I am still learning how to accept the new me so all is good I guess.

You are right about Jesse. Every once and while, I get a glimpse of how he is feeling about all of the changes in me - like the first session after my first bike race. When I told him that I was the first one back he ran away saying he had to go tell one of the other trainers. The reality was that he was tearing up and had to leave and come back after he got his composure back. (the other trainer confirmed this with me a month or two after it happened) I know it is affecting him but we honestly don't talk about it much. Someday maybe, but not yet.
:

On the bold - yeah what can you do? I know - keep inspiring. Yes, that's what you do and what you've done.

That Jesse story almost sent over Paula. So lovely.

! Sorry Lisa! :rotf

Well you should be sorry - for making me imagine him as a gym instructor.

My God - I have to end this obsession with your husband. One he's your husband. Two - I'll turn beet red if I ever meet him. And three I probably could have given birth to him.

Oh boy. Well at least you're making me smile Kelly.

WOW, where is everyone today? I guess you could say the same of me, though. Got Jeff off to Taiwan ok, so now just settling in. Heading for a run now.

''

Okay - your honour - I would like to readmit my former question at this point.

What does Jeff love about Taiwan and what does he not? I go with smog on the latter.

I have been doing much better with my food intake this week. While not officially tracking, I have definitely been much more mindful of what I've been eating and my workouts have been killer. So, headed in the right direction.

Good for you Nancy.

 

[lisaviolet]

Back where you belong my a$$ Erika.

 

[lisaviolet]

What kind of candy are you giving out?

][/QUOTE]

Oh Lord - screwed up another quote.

Nancy - I'm giving out Aero, Coffee Crisp, Smarties and Kit Kat. You only have Kit Kat, right? They are all chocolate bars. Forgive me for being patronizing but I think the first three are Canadian/British? Kelly?

I have to buy more. I would so buy Reese's PB cups of course. But they must be a last minute buy. And we all know why!!!! Reeses - oh I love thee.

I refuse to phone my parents again this week. They are so sad I'm not coming. 42 and FINALLY get my own kids to give out to - and they play the sad card. I play the happy card!!!

So, this is what Cinderella does when you tell her she can't jump on and off the curb with her fancy dress and shoes on!

OM G!!!! When did Little D become Little girl D?

Hey everybody. Just got home from work. Our dialer was broke again for several hours, but it looks like all is well for now. We will find out tomorrow after a few hours of dialing. Cross your fingers. My co-sup is awesome. It is so refreshing. Oh and I was awarded a Team Player today which comes with a nice sized gift card. Won the drawing for a logo wear baseball jersey too.

Congratulations Amiee.

Dawn - WTG on the weight loss! You are doing so great!

Ronda - Thanks for the welcome. I've been watching BL this season with my daughter (who, by the way, weighs MAYBE 110) and I didn't want to cry in front of her, but this show really seems to do that to me.

Kat - I loved the TR! Thanks so much for sharing!

Cathie - I am also doing points in WW. I don't think there is any way that I could limit myself by doing Core. It's like others have said, being told you can and can't eat certain things makes you want them that much more. You feel out of control and make decisions you normally wouldn't make. I am also sorry that you couldn't go to the concert. So much better to be safe than sorry with the weather. My friend and I drove 10 hours from Northern CA to Utah last year to see a concert. The weather was awesome but I'm afraid to say who I went to see. You all may ask me to not come back to this thread!

I too am tearing up. Abby is just about killing me.

Snow?? It was 80 here today, we tailgated before the game and had a really nice conversation with some Canadians (Lisa??).

Lisa, I love love love your commentary on the trip reports. Made me smile the whole way through. I also think that you and Jean would rock it with D and I!

I have to finish up some work since I took off a little early for the game... catch up later!!

Of course we would rock it!!!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Hi. I've been on the run run run.

Picture of Little D! P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S. So glad you snapped that pic.

Paula - thanks for posting your emotional rundown. I needed to hear what was going on.

Lisa - mmm, kitkats. I only like them at Halloween and then I can't get enough. You give out the "good candy."

Nancy - our town does trick or treat early cause there is the "Halloween Parade" on Saturday night. The girls will ride a float. Well, if they are feeling up to it. Sorry Becca is sick.

DawnC - I MUST know the name of the band too.

I swear, all you ladies with new jobs or upped responsibilities - really cutting into your DIS time. Just sayin'.

Molli has pneunomia. Feeling pretty bad. Bob is better. Back to normal. Maddi and I are still strangely unaffected. Maybe I AM part vampire EriKa. I know I'd do a vampire. Will try to post pictures tomorrow of costumes.

Amiee & Kelly - thank you for answering my Edward/RPatz question.

E - thanks for the chitty chat. Needed that.

Hi to ALL! Night.

 

[lisaviolet]

Paula - thanks for sharing all that. I loved reading it. And once again - as always - it helped me.

I am going to comment.

so feel free to skip ahead if you want to – I won’t mind.

Despite my whining about wanting to have the invisibility that being fat gave me back, Tom basically told me no – I couldn’t have it.

The bold kind of annoyed me. Why do you do that Paula? Seriously. I don't know. It stood out to me. Like you don't want to take up space.

On the purple - this hit me hard. I understand completely. Fight it all the time. And good for Tom.

Oh and the married four times - her once - well just about sent me overboard. As did rejoicing in the honeymoon. I ADORE THAT part of you.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments at work.

Went to a Girl Scout dinner that night – drama free and a wonderful thing.

So now, I am starting to feel better. It is a slow process, but I am getting there. It is just going to take some time to get comfortable with this new me. Working on creating opportunities for me to meet people and working my butt off at the office. Things are picking up and we are actually starting work next week so there is lots to do.


.

On the bold - aren't moments like that so precious?

On the purple - I think you got it Paula. Just time to get used to it. Your victories have been so fast and furious and wonderful. I'm sure it's just time to live in the you.

I like your posts, Paula. That IS what this should be.

Going to bed. I swear I'll try to play tomorrow. Work is cutting into my life, and my life is still in major transition. But that's ok!

So true Liz.

Work? I want to hear - has there been a change? I feel like I've missed something. Must go the blog.

Also, how did the Oprah taping go? Shall I send my address?

Oh everyone - Oprah has 50% coupon for Payless for tomorrow (today now) somewhere on her website. Maybe oprah.com/payless - I'm not sure.

I am up watching bball.

I just caught Bram Stoker's Dracula. I swear I have seen that movie ten times and watch it through every time. Read the book as well.

I don't why it attracts me so. I think possibly it's erotica in disguise. It's sarcastic as he!! - which as a Canadian I adore.

Or if it's simply watching Keanu try to act AND do an English accent at the same time. That's probably the biggest draw. Such fine comedy his acting!!!! So fascinating to watch him destroy a screenplay. ( I just sold out a Torontonian/Canadian)

Anyway.

See me. DUNUT see me.

I've crossed oceans of time to find you.

Take me away from all this death. (As blood flows from her (winona's) mouth)

I won't be joining you. I don't drink ...........wine.

Was she in pain?

Anthony Hopkins (Van Helsing): She was but then we chopped off her head and put a knife through her heart. Said straight. OM G. That movie. That movie.

Betwen the sex and the gore. My goodness.

Okay - enough.

Good night.

 

[lisaviolet]

Molli has pneunomia. Feeling pretty bad. Bob is better. Back to normal. Maddi and I are still strangely unaffected. Maybe I AM part vampire EriKa. I know I'd do a vampire. Will try to post pictures tomorrow of costumes.

Oh poor Molli.

Good immunity on you two. That's good. Look at Bob go - I was just going to ask.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh and can everyone add me as lisaviolettwo on their AIM please. frankieneville is gone. Mine stopped working and I lost all my contacts. I remember most but I would just sit there like an idiot and wait until someone finds me anyway. I'm slow.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

GOOD MORNING!

Paula - Thanks for sharing all the emotional stuff you've been going thru. This journey we call life is not always easy. Please don't feel like you're whining! And a huge congrats to you that you didn't eat your way thru the drama. That to me is a major victory!


Lisa - smarties. We have those too. Not familiar with the first 2 candies you mentioned.

Lyz - I get it about the parade! But it just seems odd to me that you trick or treat early. If it were me I'd be out with the town on your "early" day, then skip to the town next door and trick or treat AGAIN on Halloween!

Liz - how is the job? Do you love it? And what does Emily think about you being back to work?


Time to get my ever expanding a$$ out for a bike ride. I got on the scale today - This week I did put a bit more effort into being "mindful" when I eat, loosely counting points, increasing water, decreasing alcohol. Sounds good right? Well, I GAINED. And I'm pissed. Majorly.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

GOOD MORNING!

Lisa - smarties. We have those too. Not familiar with the first 2 candies you mentioned.

Our Smarties and Lisa's Smarties are two different things I believe. Her's is a chocolate bar - whereas ours is a little sugar disk.

Lyz - I get it about the parade! But it just seems odd to me that you trick or treat early. If it were me I'd be out with the town on your "early" day, then skip to the town next door and trick or treat AGAIN on Halloween!

Ohhh, Nancy. Maximize the free candy! Like the way you think.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

EriKa - not sure if you answered this (I didn't see it). Lisa asked how your MIL fared on her trip? Did she have a good visit with her sister?

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi. I've been on the run run run.

I swear, all you ladies with new jobs or upped responsibilities - really cutting into your DIS time. Just sayin'.

Molli has pneunomia. Feeling pretty bad. Bob is better. Back to normal. Maddi and I are still strangely unaffected. Maybe I AM part vampire EriKa. I know I'd do a vampire. Will try to post pictures tomorrow of costumes.

Hi to ALL! Night.

Lyz - I know. Don't these people realize that I have commitments to you all???

Sorry to hear about Molli, but glad to hear that Bob is feeling better. There is nothing worse than a man who is sick. Take care of you and Maddi so that you stay healthy...

Lisa - Thanks for all of the feedback. One of the things I love about this board is how it forces you to think about what is going on in your life and own up to it. You all bring that out of each of us and it is pretty cool.

Crazy day here already. My boss is off for the day so I am it to take care of the issues of which we have a big one brewing so not much time to chat. I am going to Rochester this weekend for an Odyssey board meeting. I am bringing my laptop so I hope to check in from time to time.

Talk to you later...

 

[goofyfan-12]

The bold kind of annoyed me. Why do you do that Paula? Seriously. I don't know. It stood out to me. Like you don't want to take up space.

Lisa - I think it my accomodating nature that made me type that. I know that not everyone is interested in every little detail and that is fine. I also know that there are a bunch of you who do care and that is why I post. Make any sense?

 

[lisaviolet]

No, I screwed up Lyz. I can't be coherent so late at night. Smarties are chocolate disks here. Geez - I always thought they were Canadian. Maybe they are and you took them with the beer.

http://www.jodiferous.com/images/canada smarties.jpg

(Hey - how do I make that come up as a picture instead of a link Lyz?(

I'm down half a pound for the BL. It's like watching paint dry these last few weeks, eh?

 

[lisaviolet]

Crap the link didn't even work. Are yours Nestle?

 

[lisaviolet]

Lisa - I think it my accomodating nature that made me type that. I know that not everyone is interested in every little detail and that is fine. I also know that there are a bunch of you who do care and that is why I post. Make any sense?

I do care. I was thinking about you all those days. Maybe it's just me but you never ramble so I don't think the not eveyone is interested in every little detail is false in your case. We save that for those who remble excessively. . And I wouldn't know anyone who does that.

 

[lisaviolet]

GOOD MORNING!




Time to get my ever expanding a$$ out for a bike ride. I got on the scale today - This week I did put a bit more effort into being "mindful" when I eat, loosely counting points, increasing water, decreasing alcohol. Sounds good right? Well, I GAINED. And I'm pissed. Majorly.

Well that's effing frustrating.

However, Nancy - I can be up when something is sticking in my body. Ie. Some food is bad or not digesting properly. This is so why I want to go two weeks when BL ends.

 

[lisaviolet]

Paula - where do I get a clippie? I think it's time I own and get a clippie. Amd remember I can't even paste a Smarties box.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Paula - where do I get a clippie? I think it's time I own and get a clippie. Amd remember I can't even paste a Smarties box.

The clippies for the weight loss are in the smilies section.

First get to the edit signature area from the UserCP button and then, click on the more button at the bottom of all of the smilies and a pop up box will come up with a list of all the available smiles. Then, scroll down and pick the one you want to insert it into your signature.

I hope that makes sense...

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Now just to keep healthy. Becca was sent home from school sick today Mostly sinus stuff, not flu-like so crossing fingers that it doesn't get any worse and the rest of us escape without issue.

Fingers crossed

Kelly~thought of you today when an error popped up on the instrument I was working on. It said some thing about "not being able to operate WHILST the sample door is open"

How cool, your error messages are British!

Ok –Some of you wanted to know what was going on last week so here goes. This might get a little long (I'm breaking this into two messages), so feel free to skip ahead if you want to – I won’t mind.

Paula - I NEVER skip your messages. Im glad you shared what was on your mind, that you felt comfortable enough to do it.

Going to bed. I swear I'll try to play tomorrow. Work is cutting into my life, and my life is still in major transition. But that's ok!

I didn't know you had a new job! I think I missed a post And a blog
What is your new job Liz? Tell me to shut up if Im being too nosy!

OMG, Lyz just called me. At midnight! She just wanted to gab and knew that I was guaranteed to be up and available for good talk. HI LAR IOUS. Maybe she is part vampire, too???

Oh no, theres two Vampires now!

Well you should be sorry - for making me imagine him as a gym instructor.

My God - I have to end this obsession with your husband. One he's your husband. Two - I'll turn beet red if I ever meet him. And three I probably could have given birth to him.

Oh boy. Well at least you're making me smile Kelly.

I do not mind his being your obsession Lisa! I would like to see how red you went if you met him though
Oh, and im sure you couldn't have birthed him unless you were very young!

Nancy - I'm giving out Aero, Coffee Crisp, Smarties and Kit Kat. You only have Kit Kat, right? They are all chocolate bars. Forgive me for being patronizing but I think the first three are Canadian/British? Kelly?

Mmmm, Aero, Coffee Crisp, Smarties, Kit Kat,
We have all of those chocolate bars - I love tubes of smarties. I used to sort them by colour when I was younger! Maybe I still do.....

Molli has pneunomia. Feeling pretty bad. Bob is better. Back to normal. Maddi and I are still strangely unaffected. Maybe I AM part vampire EriKa. I know I'd do a vampire. Will try to post pictures tomorrow of costumes.

Ah, I hope Molli feels better soon

Went to aqua aerobics yesterday, we used different floats in the water (they were shaped like flat dumbells made out of float material!) - no Woggles this week! It was great, not aching this morning either which is always good!
