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

[3DisneyKids]

OMG, Mol is gorgeous! You are in SO much trouble! And Mad...can you say attitude? So cute!

But the funniest part is that was your prom dress?!?!? In Barney purple? OMG, please, please, please scan a pic of it! I HAVE to see it!

On the candy. I freeze like 90% of it and then use it throughout the year. We still have the tail end of last year's candy still in the freezer (and we got way more this year than last). We got 21 POUNDS of it this year!

Loving the Halloween pics E & Lyz!

I bought a new MP3 player today and I am having tons of fun with it! Proud of myself, left most of the kids haul at their dad (um, Heather can get bigger) and I only had a few fun size Milky Ways and Kit Kats. Last night's booze was a different story. The casino had $3 DiSaronno Sours.

BTW, I have a new dirty little secret....Glee!

 

[adsrtw]

Glee has a huge following with one of our local radio stations. I haven't watched it, but it sounds like a hoot.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh good question Lyz. It was in my head and I forgot to ask.

The girls are precious. Just precious. Loving the pics.

 

[3DisneyKids]

And I forgot to mention...Holy awesome Mickey pumpkin! LOVE it! Next year....

Well, it was the middle 90's!!!!! Not sure if I even have a pic. Will have to look around. Maybe at mom's house.

21 pounds. Sheesh. We didn't get as much as normal, which I am glad of. Cause I eat it all. The good stuff is gone, all that's left is junk like dum dum pops. Puh-leeze.

The Mickey Pumpkin - Maddi did the hard work. Punching all those holes.

Hi Lar Ious!!!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi everyone...

Made it back home in one piece. Long day - meeting, followed by lunch with my friend and her niece who is at college in Rochester and finally teh long drive home. Way tired tonight.

On the plus side, I did find Lisa and Kelly's version of Smarties at a grocery store - yum!!!! Glad I only bought one small box of them so I can't do too much damage with them.

Ate way too much today and am so not looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow. Gotta love the post Halloween chocolate hangover right...

Hope you are all doing well...

BTW, I have a new dirty little secret....Glee!

Love Glee. For the music, though, as the tweeny stuff can get a bit old. The first ep, the last song they do? Slays me. And the Kristin Chenoweth ep. Did I mention I love her?

Halloween pics are gorgeous.

I had no trick-or-treaters. None. That's pretty typical though... including the last two years I think I have averaged two or so. All I had to give were a few extra snack-size dorito bags left over from last weekend's trip, though, so no candy damage done.


I am back on tomorrow, with a vengeance. Who's in?

I'm In!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Kelly - OF COURSE your opinion matters. Don't be silly. And you said some good stuff. Truly, I am taking it to heart.


Lyz - the girls were so cute, I had to show Nick the pics.

Kat, E - LOVE Glee. Kat have we talked Kristin C? Just looking at her makes me happy. She's so funny. I watched Pushing Daisies for her.

Jodi and I were almost Glee this year - she wanted to be Sue!!!

Weighing candy...really? I'm too busy looking for the good stuff to eat! I don't count it, either. And we got almost no trick or treaters. We weren't here, but we did leave out candy!

So, on. Sure. Let's get a system. Post food? Workouts? Text each other after every meal? I could get next to that! It's hard for me to be on here at work - impossible - but I can text. And Kat, you know I can't call you at 11pm! But we all know E is up!!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

See? Here I am up right now...just waiting for my phone to ring!

 

[cathie1327]

Hey all.

In the midst of studying for my final midterm. This is my procrastination

Had a good weekend. Rough night tonight. Actually rough day. I am getting sick again so I'm crabby. Another day of making choices whether or not to let things bother me. Could have made some much better choices today.

This week I am vowing to put my nose to the grindstone and hold myself very accountable and to some very strict rules. Exercise every day. Eating on plan EVERY day. Tracking EVERY day. I find the best way to get myself motivated is to dive in headfirst. And my motivation has been so up and down this last week that I NEED something to get it jump started.

So exercise; here's the plan. Tomorrow it'll be 20 mins on the eliptical/treadmill (I prefer eliptical but we only have two in the gym at work so I might not be able to snag one). Tuesday is the abs class at work. Wed will be treadmill/eliptical agian, Thursday abs class again, and Friday is a class called Butts and Guts at work. I hear it's intense. I'm almost excited.

Wish me luck.

You can ALWAYS call me. I can't always answer, but I do my best. And, witness the 1AM that I am posting this, I am up at 11PM waaay more often than not. I usually go to bed between 12:30 and 1 but before midnight is very unusual unless I am sick.

I would never weigh candy. Weigh? No, eat. Maybe this is why I am fat?

As to a system... not sure. Texts might work? I get 200 per month, though, so after every meal might max me out. Emails?

Kristin Chenoweth... AMAZING voice. Have I mentioned lately how absolutely addicted I am to Wicked? Like bartering for videos of the Broadway performance of Kristin and Idina Menzel? I listen almost exclusively to the soundtrack, lately. Love.

If you asked me what my dream job would be, it would definitely be musical performance. Preferably musical theater. I wanted to be a music major in college, even had full scholarship offers and did have a partial music scholarship where I chose, but I just couldn't justify what I would do with it other than teach (and yeah, me? teach?). Granted, I only have mediocre talent, and stage fright like you wouldn't believe, so this is only fantasy/dream, but still...

(... and to Lisa, even typing this out makes me want to go back and edit/remove, but just for you, I am leaving it.)

 

[adsrtw]

Good Morning!

Ladies, I'm in for a challenge too. I want to lose 20lbs before the Princess. It doesn't matter how we keep track to me text/email, makes no difference.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good Morning Everyone! I have a love/hate relationship goin' on with this whole changing of the clocks. Hate that it's dark so early but LOVE that it's light again when I'm first getting up in the morning!

But the funniest part is that was your prom dress?!?!? In Barney purple? OMG, please, please, please scan a pic of it! I HAVE to see it!

It IS Barney Purple I too would love to see a picture if you have one.

On the candy. I freeze like 90% of it and then use it throughout the year. We still have the tail end of last year's candy still in the freezer (and we got way more this year than last). We got 21 POUNDS of it this year!

Bring it here. I heard on the news this morning that a local dentist is paying kids $5 a pound for it!

Proud of myself, left most of the kids haul at their dad (um, Heather can get bigger) and I only had a few fun size Milky Ways and Kit Kats.

On the plus side, I did find Lisa and Kelly's version of Smarties at a grocery store - yum!!!! Glad I only bought one small box of them so I can't do too much damage with them.

Paula - intercontinental candy! Love it Thank God these holidays only happen once a year.

That reminds me - I read/heard something somewhere. It's a holiDAY not a holiWEEK or holiMONTH. So, enjoy the day when it is, then be done with it. (in my case that means all the candy is getting shipped to the cadets at Norwich! )

I am back on tomorrow, with a vengeance. Who's in?

I'm in. And "on". Had a really great weekend, and am starting to feel the benefits of it! I think I'll be back to posting food/exercise on a daily basis again. Maybe not a complete detailed breakdown of everything but general totals

So exercise; here's the plan. Tomorrow it'll be 20 mins on the eliptical/treadmill (I prefer eliptical but we only have two in the gym at work so I might not be able to snag one). Tuesday is the abs class at work. Wed will be treadmill/eliptical agian, Thursday abs class again, and Friday is a class called Butts and Guts at work. I hear it's intense. I'm almost excited.

*almost* excited. That struck me as funny. And yes - good luck with all that! I'm sure you can do it. Just put it at the top of your "to-do" list everyday. Once it's done, you can cross it off!



Lisa - thought of you last night. I was grocery shopping when I heard a man in the next aisle sound a bit dismayed because he couldn't find any peanut butter m&m's.

I am back on tomorrow, with a vengeance. Who's in?

Me, too.

This weekend was lost. DGF worked Sunday. I did yard work. Saturday was a trip to a friend's house to work on her computers. Her husband, a co-worker of mine, died about 2.5 years ago. She is still so lost without him. His death was out of the blue (fall, broken bone, surgery, clot, dead). We had dinner at friend's Saturday, Halloween, night. Great tactic. No candy in the house!

I ran five miles Saturday. Everything is a new personal distance record.

My parents are coming up for a couple nights later this week. Should be fun, but it makes me nervous. This is their first overnight at OUR house. My mom has been up to stay a couple of times, but never my dad.

Ronda

 

[3DisneyKids]

MORNING!

Ronda--great job on the 5-miler! WOO HOO! Did you r/w combo or run the whole thing? So exciting!

Challenge--I am always up for one. I can run it or anyone else can. Just say the word.

Lots of work to get through. Monday morning is always my craziest time.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nice job Ronda! Isn't just amazing what our bodies can actually do? Hope you have a great visit with your parents.

Challenge--I am always up for one. I can run it or anyone else can. Just say the word.

well, if you're offering


I'm in a great mood this morning. Had a good weekend. Ate well, no booze, a nice 4 mile trail run yesterday - and today I don't need to go to work until noon! (which is not *quite* as good as having the whole day to myself, but I'll take it!)

 

[goofyfan-12]

Morning...

I am so inspired reading about all of you who are "on"!!! Truly. I ate like crap this weekend and feel like crap as a result. I need to get "on" in attitude too. I love the idea of a challenge... I need a good kick in the butt as I am really starting to slack with my food - hello browning cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory? Yes - that is what I ate yesterday...

Hope everyone is having a good day. Loving all the weekend updates that I am reading. My weekend was dull so it is nice to live through you all...
