In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 8...It's Never Too Late To Start Again!

[HockeyKat]

Meg, SOO SOO SOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!

He sounds awesome and I am glad you found a fellow sports/fitness guy.


Paula, again.


E, I think I am going to do the half in Nov in spite of your efforts to freak me out about it.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy, your son is a handsome man!

Why thank you!

I did ok on my goal yesterday, but I did let my mean boss get to me. *cry*, some how some way, I will be able to deal with her.

I have the same goals for today. Ask me about it later if I don't report, ok?


Kat, Meg, GO BLACK HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!

OH NO YOU DIDN'T! Hockey throw down. Bruins. Boston. Meg. Are you going to stand for this?

E, I think I am going to do the half in Nov in spite of your efforts to freak me out about it.

You can do it. And you should do it. I don't think Erika was trying to freak you out. She just knows her own head and what it would do to her.

Nancy, checking in on the goals
I have had oatmeal, 1 point cheese stick and some wheat thins!! Doing ok for now.!!

You can do it. And you should do it. I don't think Erika was trying to freak you out. She just knows her own head and what it would do to her.

I do understand that. But for you established runners, telling us newbies YOU couldn't do it does add to the freak out factor. It's like, hey newbie, I wouldn't even do that, so why are you thinking about it!!


As to hockey throwdown... well, one of my teams isn't in it this year, and the other one I follow won the Cup last year, so I am pretty neutral. I only have a few teams I don't like (here's looking at you, Buffalo and Washington!) so I can root happily for the Bruins and Hawks.

Btw, did I mention that Raleigh is getting the NHL All Star game this January??

kat, what is the name of the team?

 

[HockeyKat]

kat, what is the name of the team?

Oh, I root for the Carolina Hurricanes. They are the local NHL team, in Raleigh NC, and the arena is about 10 min from my house. Mr Kat and I are sometimes season ticket holders, although it varies by year and $$.

However, I grew up near Pittsburgh, so I root for the Pens as well. I am not a fan of the Flyers, Capitals, or Sabres.

 

[3DisneyKids]

It's not that I couldn't do it or even that I wouldn't do it. I was just giving my process. Like, the first thing I always do is look at the results from the previous year and find out where I would have placed. It shouldn't be important to me, but it IS, and that is just me being honest and owning my character flaws. Notice I only commented on my own crap there--my pacing, my placing, and my head space.

And truly, I believe the WISH motto:

Dead Last Finish
is better than
Did Not Finish
which great trumps
Did Not Start

And listen, just getting to the starting line is the victory as far as I am considered. I just wish that I was better at acting on it.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Meg! I am BURSTING for you! Just bursting! Sounds awesome. Now we need pics. Just sayin'.

Paula--you are my hero, you know.

Lisa--loving you!

Nancy--yes, I know. Two favorite food groups--that's why I instantly thought of you!

Um and yeah...in case I needed to say it, we are a Bruins family all the way here.

I sucked at my goals today. It's not too late to write it all down, so I will but my water was just meh. Tomorrow is a new day. We can do this, right?

I do understand that. But for you established runners, telling us newbies YOU couldn't do it does add to the freak out factor. It's like, hey newbie, I wouldn't even do that, so why are you thinking about it!!

Umm...Because you can?

Oh, I root for the Carolina Hurricanes.

<ahem> Whaler-Canes. Their name is the Whaler-Canes.


I offically ate too much tonight. OMG my stomach hurts. It's Nate's birthday, so I made a wicked chocolate cake. With evil chocolate frosting. The frosting recipe starts with 2 POUNDS of butter, and it's all down hill from there

Yeah. And we ate it whilst watching Biggest Loser. We are one twisted family.

 

[poppinspal]

Hi all. I just home after working and then babysitting. I am soooo tired. I just wanted to say... Go Bruins!

That's all, more tomorrow when my brain is functioning.

 

[3DisneyKids]

We knew we could count on you, Meg!

 

[lisaviolet]

he loves peanut butter.

Well then. Enough said. A keeper.

NBA has taken all my energy!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Morning All!!

E, I did the Wish motto my last race, I was second to last, but I was very very very happy I finished and did think of it while I was running.

Nancy, eating while watching Biggest Looser, you crack me up!!
I did OK, had soup and salad for lunch and did not eat all the soup, but I eat the bread, made a salad for dinner, but then eat a brownie

Meg, need to see a pic of this guy

Lisa, Kat, Kelly,Ronda, Paula, Liz, EE, Cathie, Sunny, Jess

I hope everyone has a great HUMP Day!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Jo - I'm right there with you with the food choices. Today will be better. I'm tired of feeling like crap because I'm eating like crap. So, today I will choose to do the right thing. That's my promise to me.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Hey Lisa. Why are your fellow Canadians always trying to sell me meds for cheap?

Can you please talk to them, and tell them thanks, but no thanks?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Kelly - did I mention that my parents just returned from London? Well, they did. On Saturday. And they had a FABULOUS time!

Just one day at a time,
I too feel like crap from eating like crap.
Today I did bring a coke with me, I just had to have one (I can't do diet cuz it makes me sick)

Oh, and my BIG Goal, is to buy a black dress for DH to take me out for my bday, ( I have not worn a dress in 9 years) I have 3 full months to loose about 20 lbs!!! UGGG

another dress search! I hope yours won't be as frustrating as mine was! And I certainly hope your daughter doesn't tell you that you look like a mermaid

I just had an awesome workout, now I'm having a healthy snack. My attitude is good. Things are looking up.

oh - and is it wrong that I'm evilly delighted that my son is currently getting dumped with snow in Vermont?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

I'm not that great at jacking pictures, then resizing them and posting. SO if this doesn't come out 100% awesome, well, at least I tried.

Very cute son you've got there Nancy!

Found out I gained 4 pounds - crap... Cried while I was there and trying to find 'it' again. Oh bother...

I'll get there - just need to keep saying that so that I will believe it. I refuse to think that I worked this hard to fall back to my old ways again.

There is no way you will fall into old ways Paula, you've come too far and you rock way too much! You'll get past the 4lbs

Chocolate wine. Chocolate. Wine. It's chocolate and it's wine. Chocolate-mother-f'ing-wine! It has Nancy written all over it, right?

It is so incredibly, unbelievably, sinfully good.

Chocolate and Wine - its like living the dream!

Ryan, 25, Deputy Sheriff. He was a football player and wrestler in high school and college. He loves all Boston sports teams, never played hockey but knows the sport and loves watching it. Now he runs and works out. He is signing up to do a 5k with me that's in a week and half. I am slower then him but he intends to cross the finish line at the exact minute I do. He's caring, he insists on picking me up because he feels better knowing he's dropped me off safely at home.

So... I have a boyfriend. A boyfriend who wears a uniform no less.

He sounds great, so happy for you Meg! And yes, photos!

Kelly - this Thursday? next Thursday? I should just go look.

Next Thursday!

Kelly - did I mention that my parents just returned from London? Well, they did. On Saturday. And they had a FABULOUS time!

No! How long were they in London for? Did they love it? Did they just visit London or other places?

Wow, thats a lot of questions! Sorry Nancy!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]
