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

[amykab]

Megan-So sorry to hear about your corolla. I have one too. I LOVE my Corolla.

And no worries, we spread our love for the Cullens around equally!! And I would have never called myself a Jacob Hater, but i never really liked him much especially after Eclipse. But after seeing NM, I felt so bad for him. And I will confess to now owning a Jacob/wolfpack shirt.

Does everyone doing the Princess Half have good socks? I did 3 half marathons in ok socks and my fourth in AWESOME socks. What a difference in how my feet felt.

Here's a link. I had gotten them after reading something in RW about them.

Just back from WDW.

WELCOME HOME RONDA! After I ran the Donald I was smitten. So. Are you ready to sign on for the Mickey next year?

I'm sitting here in a fair amount of PF pain. It's my own fault really so I'm mad at myself. Basically from Sunday afternoon through this morning I was barefoot except for when I took D to the Dr and for my run on Monday. I know better. Must wear shoes.

OH NO! Amy! There's no time for injury right now. Take care of those feet! As for socks, you are so right. They are as important as the shoes for these long events. and yes, I'm set.

Is it wrong that I just spent several minutes staring at Amy's signature over and over??

No. Is it wrong that I want to publically humiliate the friend of a friend who says she "just LOVES Expedition Everest at Wild Kingdom".

Home from work. Did my workout after work in the parking garage. Walked for 45 mins. Ran down the steps and walked up them 3 times, 2 different sets. I didn't even care about the sweat. That's what scented lotion is for, right? Rough stuff going on at work, needed the release, lol.

Who needs a gym when you have a parking garage?? So awesome EE! Sorry 'bout the work crap. Hope that all works itself out.

Nancy. NO. SHAME THEM.



E - NO. OMG so yummy. I would do R Patz. I know he's a child but heck, I don't care.

Megan - Yes, we love them all. I adore Emmett. I adore Jacob. I adore Edward. Heck, I like Carlisle. He's about my age! Even Jasper - fanfic has made me fall for him. I'll take any Cullen boy plus Jacob, thankyouverymuch.

So sorry about your car. That SUCKS. I cry when I lose cars, too.

This is the week for losing beloved things! Boo!

Amy, E, socks. HOMG. Can you remind me in afew weeks? Or should I get them now? Thoughts?

Also, socks? I'm not even up to my long walk yet. SCREWED.

 

[adsrtw]

Nancy, I really enjoy using the parking garage. We have lots of ramps and it stays comfortable year round since it's mainly underground. I didn't even have to worry about the attorneys hitting me with their BMW's. They race out of our building by 4:30.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy. NO. SHAME THEM.

Seriously. If you don't know what you are talking about, just shut up

E - NO. OMG so yummy. I would do R Patz. I know he's a child but heck, I don't care.



Amy, E, socks. HOMG. Can you remind me in afew weeks? Or should I get them now? Thoughts?

Socks are awesomeness. Really. I'd get them sooner rather than later to help prevent potential blistering, "hot spots" etc.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Megan--SO sorry about the car. But a 2004--that's young for a Toyota to die! So sad! And yes, we love ALL of the Cullens here. And like Amy, I was also way anti-Jake. Until the NM movie. He was treated like such sh*t and was so sweet. It gave me a soft spot for him.

Nancy--I'm with Liz. Public shaming is the only way to go.

EE--Goddess crown, totally! Way to rock your workout! AND! I didn't realize that you had really been working on your long walk/runs! You are up to 6 now, right? GREAT!

Socks--you don't need them right away, but your feet will hate you less if you wear them during your long runs starting any time. Anything dual layer is usually a good bet. I use cheap running socks for daily use and the good dual layer ones for my long runs.

Me--good night here. Super productive day. Got all 3 kids' rooms ready for paint, which is good since the painters arrive tomorrow. Got Jeff all packed and ready to go. He leaves at 4am for two weeks. Singapore and Taiwan this trip. All ready for my b00b job tomorrow (as I have started to call it--sounds way more fun!) Met ALL of my goals for today, even though my run was craptastic. It was so. frigging. cold. I bagged it after 3 miles. But tomorrow is a cross-train day on the elliptical and Friday is my long run. At least 7 miles, maybe 8. We'll see. It is supposed to be mid-30s, which is so much more comfortable.

Time to set tomorrow's goals, everyone!

Mine are:

--Water
--Track
--Elliptical
--B00b job

Oh, and starting next week I am adding core back into my routine. Nancy and Paula, get ready to hound me. Again.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Word on EE's work out!

Word on Nancy - YES NON obsessed Dis people! Get it right!

E - call me after the ta-tas, okay?

Socks - Ok, you sold me. Link away and I'll buy them tonight. I'm so easy.

Yep E, been totally doing them. I'm at a solid 5 (excluding warm up and cool down). I don't count those toward miles. Included, I am almost at 7.

Amy, E, socks. HOMG. Can you remind me in afew weeks? Or should I get them now? Thoughts?

Yes, and yes. Sock links and brands. SCREWED, check.

Deal! Good luck tomorrow and why did I think the painters were starting today?

Nice job EE!

Breakfast makes a difference doesn't it!

Kat and Liz - Love ya to death, but cut the screwed crap. Don't make me put up my collector tone on you two. We WILL be FINE!

OMG. You thought my WHISTLE was going to be bad? hoo baby. You've made the collector angry

 

[HockeyKat]

OH! Almost forgot. Speaking of breakfast, I found a new possible source of extreme happiness. 110 calorie Bagel Thins!!!

Car update... looks like my parents are buying me a 1999 VW Beetle off my mom's co-worker. It's only $1,000 and has spent half it's life being only driven a few times a year and it goes to the VW dealership every year to get routine maintenance. I lent my sister my car for almost a year so she could commute to school so this is them thanking me. I'm going to save up and buy a new car next year, I don't want to rush into it so I guess this will do for now. Thanks everyone for listening.

Amy & Erika- I have a friend who is a crazy Edward fan so she can't understand how he isn't my number one. I like Emmet for all his toughness but jokester side. I feel bad for Jacob because he was steady and open with Bella. I have a Team Jacob water bottle my friend got me to use at hockey but she also made me a Team Emmett shirt. She's a bit obsessed.

Oh right my goals for today... failed horribly on my water drinking. Did well with calories. Can't let work craziness distract me from drinking water.

Goals for tomorrow:
Stay on track with calories
Drink enough water
Take shorter breaks on the bench during hockey
Start a running/meal journal

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Awesome on the car Megan!


Goals for tomorrow:

Water
track
walk for a minimum of 30 minutes after my training session with Erin

 

[goofyfan-12]

Nancy - you asked about my pace - I am maintaining an easy - 14 - 14.25 minute mile at this point. I am pushing to get to a sub 14 minute mile but we have to see how that goes.

Need to get some dual layer socks. I have some awesome single layer socks that I bought when I got my sneakers fitted (and my parents added to the stash at Christmas) but I can see how the dual layer would be nice. I am all about the cushioning action at this point.

Oh, and starting next week I am adding core back into my routine. Nancy and Paula, get ready to hound me. Again.

I am getting ready.... Nancy - get your whistle out!

Megan - sorry about your car. It is hard to get rid of the first one. Enjoy the beetle though. It sounds like a fun car to drive.

Hi everyone! Crazy day at work for me, I may need to take a cure from Amiee and work my aggressions out on the staircases at work rather than in the cafeteria (must not eat cookies).

OK - goals for tomorrow:

stay on eating plan (must not eat cookies)
drink my water
get 7 hours of sleep
try not to chicken out on my date for Friday night... (yes Lisa you read that right!)

Have a great night everyone - I am off to pack my lunch and get ready for tomorrow. Need to get to bed by 11:00 if I have a shot at getting 7 hours of sleep.

 

[adsrtw]

Kat - sounds yummy. Do you have a website for them?

Megan - yay on the car!

Paula - it helped me today. I was ready to punch a wall.

I have three different staircases to choose from plus the exterior stair tower that leads to the scaffolding. All of them go up a good 200' so I think I have a place to work out some aggression. Now if only I could get my designers in line!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Stairs. How I love thee! OMG, running the stairs at POR! Remember that?? We pulled in and I was in heaven! I think it was the first thing I said. Like, "OMG! Look at all of those stairs! I can run them in the morning!" And I did.

 

[HockeyKat]

Kat - sounds yummy. Do you have a website for them?

I can't find them on the Thomas website. That is the brand, though. I just had half of one, toasted, with a small amount of whipped cream cheese. Mmmm. Of course not as good as a real bagel, but d!mn close and satsifies a craving that I hadn't be able to before without blowing a LOT of calories!!

They are sort of like sandwich thins, but bagels.
