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

[lisaviolet]

Haven't read a thing. Came home after my run to to 4-6" of standing water in the basement. It has been raining (pouring) for 4 days straight and our sumps couldn't keep up. We have a back up sump in case of this, so I had to get that set up and it did the trick of draining the water pretty quickly. But OMG, the clean up. Fiasco.

Oh no. I should say something nice but that just sucks Erika.

 

[adsrtw]

We will post for you Lisa (and others). Have Droid, will travel. Not to mention all the iPhones and blackberry's. It would have been fun though.

E so sorry about the suckfest!

Just weighed in. I'm a little bummed, lost .6 of a pound. Sigh. I'm hearing Liz's comment of eating my points. I need to planning a little better.

Love that .6 Amiee. Love it. It's down - down - down!

Okay, going to the game now. I'll watch with peaking through my hands.

 

[poppinspal]

US women are playing well, they need to settle into a better rythym. Poulin who plays for Cananda is an unbelievable skater. I hope my college can wooo her into coming there. I know she hasn't committed to a college yet.

The wind blew one of the window pains in our house out. My dad is working on a patch job as it is pouring and cold.

 

[adsrtw]

Oh no Megan! So sorry.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

haha this totally reminded me of two years ago when I ran the Tower of Terror and I ran in faster then I'd really trained for.

Wait. You ran the Tower of Terror? Awesome!

Can you imagine me waving at you all through the gates . And waiting for you all from your fun night out? Not good. Smiling.

no. That would be exceedingly sad.

Costumes are coming along, slowly but surely, thanks for asking.

And congrats on the hockey gold medal!

Well, I GAINED about that much, so.....

YIKES! Rainy and windy here too - but not hurricane style like you and Erika seem to be contending with. The temps are dropping and it's supposed to switch over to snow sometime overnight.

 

[HockeyKat]

Slinks in. Meh.


This has been a suckfest of a day. Going to have a few Bud Select 55s and pretend it is tomorrow already.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

This has been a suckfest of a day.

Sorry to hear that Kat.

 

[goofyfan-12]

This time next week, Kat and I will be park hopping. Then we will meet up with Paula, Donna, & Amy for drinks and dinner.

Raglan Road here we come!!!!

Would anybody like to tell me why my company buys pizza all the blasted time using my corporate card? Don't they know I'm trying to lose weight?

That would fall under the same category as the coworker whose wife feels the need to send him in to the office with dozens of bagels, muffins and more candy than the Easter Bunny could carry. All I can do as I walk past his desk is yel NO!!!!!!

Kat - sorry for the rough day - sending hugs...

Meg - good luck with the broken window. That is not good...

Amiee - congrats on the .6 pounds! Celebrate it and promise that you won't beat yourself up too much for it. It is a loss right?

E - yuck about the flooded basement. Hope the cleanup goes quickly.

Lisa - we will miss you next week, but with all the mobile phones, it will be like you are there with us.

starting to get pumped for next week... just sayin'

 

[poppinspal]

Nancy- I ran the Tower of Terror race all three years. I really enjoyed it. I liked the whole night time aspect.

Kat- Sorry today was a suckfest... tomorrow is a new day! Enjoy the drinks.

Paula- I LOVE Raglan Road. Every year I try something new there and really enjoy it. In October I sat outside and ate when we went there, it was really nice.

So I think the US hockey team played well but the Canadian goalie had us stumped. And Pouline is just so great. Two young teams, it'll be fun to watch how both teams develop between now and the next Olympics.

So we put up some plastic to cover the window till my dad can get to home depot tomorrow to get glass to fix it. When I left for hockey it was like a hurricane! I came out of the rink an hour later and it had stopped!

The knee felt great tonight and I have really been focusing on stretching so my legs felt good. I had a good skate and I'm starting to feel like my upper body is getting stronger. I think the guys are still shocked when this little girls slips in behind them against the boards and digs out the puck.

I'm considering finding a women's hockey league to play in this summer so I can get better and get some ice time over the summer. I'm just a little nervous about joining a team where I don't know anyone. Silly but that's how it is.

I don't think that's silly. Really. But don't let the fact that you don't know anyone stop you from joining. You just might find that you LIKE those people

We are currently in a weather lull here. Rain stopped thankfully, and the snow is just starting to flurry. We're only due to get a few inches - nothing like the mess in NY/NJ/PA. Which makes me wonder - LIZ! Did you get a ton of snow?

Erika - drying out up there? Pumps functioning properly I hope?

[3DisneyKids]

Oy, that'll feel really hot to me. Off to MA for furniture shopping!

 

[HockeyKat]

That sounds great to me. Won't need an outside layer or at the very least a light one, and will be able to wear shorts. I hate running in pants.

Also, 74 is good sit by the pool with a beer weather.


Meg. Join the women's hockey team. I had to do the same thing a few years back and it was the best thing I ever did. Women are generally a lot more welcoming than men, esp if you are pretty good (which it sounds like you are). I wish so much that we lived closer together because I would love it if you played in my league. It is so much fun.

Glad your knee is feeling better!!


It's sunny here today, but COLD and very windy (40 mph gusts). Seriously, can this winter thing just GO already??

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Oy, that'll feel really hot to me. Off to MA for furniture shopping!

Yes, but remember we're starting at 6:00 am. So we should be on the high 50*s low 60*s end of things. It won't hit 74* until mid-day.


whatcha buying?

 

[HockeyKat]

Killed the treadmill today. I guess being pissy helps!

3 miles, 36:45. I actually managed to run a whole .25 miles, and was mostly doing either 2/1 (run 2, walk 1) or 1/1 intervals. Speed ranged from 4.3-4.4 walk to 5.2-5.6 run.

It's amazing what 7 weeks can do. 7 weeks ago a 4.0 walk felt like I was dying. My 3 miles was 47 minutes.



E, hope you had fun furniture shopping!

Nancy, hope you can come up for air at some point.

Meg, glad that your knee is feeling so much better!


Go USA!! Half hour to wait...

 

[lisaviolet]

Costumes are coming along, slowly but surely, thanks for asking.

And congrats on the hockey gold medal! [/B][/COLOR]




Well, I GAINED about that much, so.....

Thanks on the gold Nancy. I watched a lot of the game in Cantonese. It helped to keep my nerves.

Poulin - well I don't claim all the ins and outs of hockey but holy fast off the stick man.

And the costumes - so they're not going to the BWV pool?

The weight - I just looked at that lovely picture of you and Paula the other day . Where are you weight wise from there? Because - I know I know you feel this or that - but you do look fantastic. Just sayin'. It's a good picture of both of you.

Well that's exciting.

Also, 74 is good sit by the pool with a beer weather.

Go USA!! Half hour to wait...

So now I can at least - for the time being - send good thoughts your way. Hope it's a good game Kat! I should go see. I'm home.

nice job.

Poulin - well I don't claim all the ins and outs of hockey but holy fast off the stick man.

Poulin? The only "Poulin" I know is a animal feed company. That's the maker of the grain we feed our goats

And the costumes - so they're not going to the BWV pool?

They just might have to

I'm about 5 pounds heavier right now. Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but enough to make most of my clothes rather uncomfortable.



Goin' to see A Chorus Line tonight Ah, the joys of having a drama-driven daughter

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

OMG, my day at work is almost done. Hope eveyone is well
