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

[lisaviolet]

LOVE it when Lisa posts!

Karen is fine, for the most part. And yes, it has been a long haul. All of the legal stuff is, fortunately, now done. But the emotional piece is still there. Her ex is swinging wildly between being awful and being decent and Karen is having such a hard time since she never knows what she is going to encounter whenever she drops the kids off, etc. Otherwise, though, she is fine. We went out to lunch after court and had a really nice time. Of course, she was drinking wine at noon, so...

ME TOO!

Which reminds me, Lisa. Somehow I lost your post. Hmpf. But your question was about court. I had jury duty, and was chosen as an alternate juror for a trial that was supposed to start yesterday. Instead, they "settled", so I was dismissed.

Well let me put Erika in my front pocket and Nancy in my back and just call it a day. I would just have to remember to take you out when I sit down Nancy. Boy that would be awful.

Erika - I had no idea everything took so long. Ignorance is bliss. Good to hear that's she's doing okay.

Nancy - yeah. I was scared that we were losing you to a trial.

And in typical Cammie fashion...we took off her diaper and sat her on the toilet. She went...and that was it. NEVER had an accident. Only Cammie. Potty trained in 2 minutes. Done. Thank GOD for that child! Otherwise I would be in the asylum by now.

What a surprise.

I signed up for WW tonight, I get 25 points, so now you all know how fat I am HA HA!!! I did the monthly pass.

...

JO! Shaking my head while smiling.

Hi Lisa! (they need a smile that waves!)


.

Well let me see. Hmmmm. I'l see what I can do.

It is annoying, but it is not going to stop me.
.

Of course it's not.

Loved the doctor's comments.

I had a whole huge thing typed out about everything ugly going on lately, that I needed to get out (I missed therapy this week because I had to have some dental work done that day) but decided I didn't really need to post it, just typing was good to get it out. Thanks ladies for being here for me. Still flustered over some of it, but letting it go as most of it is things I can do nothing about.

Down 2 lbs from last week. That makes my total loss on my new plan 5 total now! I've earned myself a pedi and mani

Got some SEVERE motivation today....started spring classes and my intro to psych class is in a big lecture hall with just rows of chairs that have the little desk/table things that fold down over the chair....I was so uncomfortable because I BARELY fit in between the desk thing and in the chair. BIG dose of motivation.

on the loss Cathie.

Good Afternoon!

Good Evening Kelly!

I was going to say you're fast asleep but look at the time wakey wakey.

So

Good Morning Kelly!

Look out people. Erika has aquired a HAMMER

Come on Nancy. White girls can't jump and you know she has to jump to do any real damage. Unless she goes all Tonya Harding on us.

Hmm. Face beet red, pouring sweat. Sounds like me in the battle vs the treadmill. You know the worst part? My face turns beet red and STAYS that way for 1-2 hours.

.

Ummm born pink white face.

Need an opinion from you smart savvy ladies!

Going out for dinner tonight with some girlfriends. We're going for Chinese. What's a good healthy option? I always get steamed rice with whatever I eat but it's kind of deceiving what is really a good healthy (or healthy considering where you are lol) option because of all the sauces and whatnot.


TIA!

I was going to say pick what you love the most and eat less but you're already digesting at this point.

Have a fabulous time Liz!

Yes! I wonder how their night was - lovely. So jealous. Have fun!

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelly - well? Forget getting ready for work. Come DIS.

Did you think Grey's first episode was a snorefest? It's not a great season. At all. I'm sorry. However, tonight let me tell you - it made me think about right and wrong and how close they are and choices and how we all are delusional in why we think we do things.

And I ADORED Owen tonight. ADORED. I've got to be kissed by him. Or some reasonable facsimile. Kelly please run up to Scotland and see if he has any brothers. Go. Run.

It's not his looks really - it's just a je ne sais quoi. He has a certain sumtin'.


Newbies! Alert! Mother country Kelly is only able to see episode one of this season so far so if you watch Grey's no telling her that Owen was hot tonight or any other tidbits.

Nancy - made it to JC tonight and it wasn't pretty. Gained 1.4 pounds. I guess eating take out and restaurant food for a week's worth of dinners will do that to you. Oh well - it is a new week right?

I think that the salt content is one of the biggest problems I have with restaurant food. I can make the healthier choices, but my body is not accustomed to all that sodium. Hopefully your body will purge the excess in the next few days and you'll be right back on track!

And what's this with "evening shift"?

I'm having an off week on food/booze, but hanging in there on exercising (fitting a few rounds of stairs in at work on top of regular work outs). So tired and pretty much brain dead.

Hang in there EE! The weekend is almost here!

I feel like crying. Bad day. No big deal. Just very horrid bad day. Bad bad day.

Question: Is it alright to have a snack when I get home at 11:30PM and go to bed at 12:30ish? I did tonight, had a bagel sandwich with egg beaters and lowfat bacon (to get some protein in), that was about 200 cals.

There are varying opinions on this. Some people prescribe to the "no eating after 8 pm" or whatever (seemingly) random time they pick. But that doesn't fly with me. Calories out has to exceed calories in. When those calories are consumed isn't as important as the fact that they are indeed eaten, IMO.

*sigh* Liz is in WDW right now!

*sigh*

Well let me put Erika in my front pocket and Nancy in my back and just call it a day. I would just have to remember to take you out when I sit down Nancy. Boy that would be awful.




Come on Nancy. White girls can't jump and you know she has to jump to do any real damage. Unless she goes all Tonya Harding on us.

I'm limping off to the gym. I'm so sore today. Tomorrow I start boot camp with Erin (yeah. I thought it started NEXT week ) so today I need to get my 5 miles in and some quality stretch & recovery time.

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! TGIF!

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG, laughing SO hard this morning!

Lisa! Are you cracking short jokes again? Knowing that I have the hammer?!?! Someone likes to live dangerously!

Heard from Liz. She texted me last night when she got on DME. She was super excited. Then she texted me first thing this morning because "Stacey" was on TV! My girls had to text her back for me since I was driving morning car pool--and because they ADORE Stacey. It's the job Kelly wants when she grows up. Then she texted me as she was getting ready to enter DHS. So that's her park for today. And again, *sigh*

BUT 6 weeks from today we all arrive! Nancy and I will fly in together, then hook-up with Kat, and then all head to property. Liz, Paula, and EE will all already be there. And Amy will drive over and meet us later in the day. So, 6 weeks from today the Goddesses hit the Magic Kingdom! WOOT.

So today...I am NOT exercising. Taking a rest day. Don't really want to, but this hip pain is a bit more than just a little twinge like it has been for the past week. I woke up and it kinda hurt. Not badly. But enough that makes me think resting it is the right thing to do.

I *might* bike today. But we'll see. I am heading out right now to go accessory shopping for the kids' rooms.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hey girls!!! I'm here on the line for RNR. FP but there's a problem and we are all just standing!

Weather is gorgeous. We walked three miles already. Pedomitor on! Sorry bad spelling! Tracked all food thus far. : )

it's Dhs today, then who knows tonight. Jellyrolls for sure. We are at Boardwalk and just strolled over this morning! Oh! And we ran into jodi's best friend from high school on TSM! Crazy!

 

[poppinspal]

Hi all!

I have to say I'm a bit jealous Liz, I'd like to be in DHS right now. I hope you're getting some great weather.

Lisa-I only watched Grey's for the first two seasons but you're making me want to start watching just to see this Owen. Your post made me crack up. I hope you're having a better day today.

Erika-Some days shopping feels like a low impact work out to me. (Well for my wallet it can be high impact.) But I hope your hip starts feeling better soon.

The good news for everyone is it's friday! My friend and I were supposed to go out for a few drinks tonight but she has the stomach bug. I'm thinking of using those calories I was going to spend on beer and have a small scoop of ice cream instead. It was a long work week and I'm craving ice cream. Plus I now have time to get in a workout tonight that I wasn't expecting, that's one exciting Friday night I have going on.

 

[HockeyKat]

Liz, yay!! Sounds like so much fun.

Megan... haha!! My exciting Fri night consists of going to the furniture store to yell at them about the lack of furniture in my bedroom (considering I ordered it in Nov), then catching up on weekly tv. Whee!!


Treadmill has been conquered for the day. 3.1 miles in 43 min, in walk 4, run 1 intervals (one interval I ran 2). Walking pace was between 4.0 and 4.2, running between 4.7 and 5.0.

Tomorrow is 8 miles, with the same partner as last week. I am hoping to finish it in 2 hours. I bought better socks... still dual-layer, but a heavier density as I felt some rubbing and such last week.


You know, this is getting less hard.

WORD!!!

And what's this with "evening shift"?

We have crews working two shifts - day and night since we can't do the really really noisy and dusty stuff during the day. My team has been rotating working the night shifts and tonight is my night. It sucks!!! I go in around 4:30 and won't leave until about 2:30. Did I mention this sucks!!! I am hoping to get caught up on my paperwork tonight, but who knows. Honestly, I am hoping that I don't see the Capitol ghost at somepoint. The building has one, but I have yet to encounter it. Keep your fingers crossed that tonight is not the night that it does. That would truly freak me out.

BUT 6 weeks from today we all arrive! Nancy and I will fly in together, then hook-up with Kat, and then all head to property. Liz, Paula, and EE will all already be there. And Amy will drive over and meet us later in the day. So, 6 weeks from today the Goddesses hit the Magic Kingdom! WOOT.

Six weeks until I am in my happy place!!!! Can't wait!

OK off to run a few errands before I have to go into work. Have a good one everyone and I'll check in a little later...

Liz - so glad you and Jodi are having fun!!! Have a drink for me while you are there!

I like being Mother Country Kelly!
And I agree - yes! I thought the first episode lacked.......something. It just wasn't as good as past episodes for me! Hopefully it will pick up. With your line about Owen im guessing it does

He is delightful! I get the je ne sais quoi!

Oh, Lady LisaV - don't think I didn't see your edit about my celebrity husband Mr Buble!

Hey girls!!! I'm here on the line for RNR. FP but there's a problem and we are all just standing!

Jealous! Have a fabulous time!

So water, tracking, exercise done done and done! I rocked it today if I do say so myself!

Tomorrow I am working then at night it is girls night! Cant wait! There is 8 of us going out for drinks and dancing!

Hope everyone is having a great day

Meagan - sorry your plans got shot to heck. Enjoy the ice cream!

You know, this is getting less hard.

Kat- LOVE THAT! and once again, awesome pace! How's the calf feeling?


Paula - GHOST? For real? I would totally freak out too. Hope your evening is quiet and completely uneventful!

Tomorrow I am working then at night it is girls night! Cant wait! There is 8 of us going out for drinks and dancing!

Oh dear. Kelly is drinking and dancing. Please do watch yourself Kelly! We don't need any....accidents

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Oh dear. Kelly is drinking and dancing. Please do watch yourself Kelly! We don't need any....accidents

How well you know me!
I will try my best to stay upright, although balance and gravity are not my friends

 

[lisaviolet]

Good morning! TGIF!

Well it must be a great day for ya, eh? Yeah!

OMG, laughing SO hard this morning!

Lisa! Are you cracking short jokes again? Knowing that I have the hammer?!?! Someone likes to live dangerously!

Oh Erika - I would never make jokes about people's disabilities. No matter how small.

Hey girls!!! I'm here on the line for RNR. FP but there's a problem and we are all just standing!

What fun!

My parents are forever meeting their own friends in Florida or on the road to Florida. Out of the blue. Strange.

Hi all!

.

You know what Megan I could post a picture and you'd probably go WT F. I don't know what it is. He seems to love so fully?

If you do give him a whirl - you have to watch last season for his entrance to get the full story. Or maybe it's the season before. Geez it might be the end of the season before. His progression is sexy in itself.

He's Christina's boyfriend BTW. Sandra OH and him are both outstanding actors so that probably makes his character even more alluring.

And he's a man. You get the feeling like he wouldn't give a _________ what he looks like at any moment.

Megan... haha!! My exciting Fri night consists of going to the furniture store to yell at them about the lack of furniture in my bedroom (considering I ordered it in Nov)

So glad to see the added info. I was like "wow that's weird behaviour" .

November? Geez.

We have crews working two shifts - day and night since we can't do the really really noisy and dusty stuff during the day. My team has been rotating working the night shifts and tonight is my night. It sucks!!! I go in around 4:30 and won't leave until about 2:30. Did I mention this sucks!!! I am hoping to get caught up on my paperwork tonight, but who knows.

Liz - so glad you and Jodi are having fun!!! Have a drink for me while you are there!

So excited on the bold. Please someone list your itinerary in case I can swing it. Like when is everyone arriving/leaving/staying. The whole enchilada.

Unfortunately my own March break is the week later - not attached to your weekend I mean.

I like being Mother Country Kelly!
And I agree - yes! I thought the first episode lacked.......something. It just wasn't as good as past episodes for me! Hopefully it will pick up. With your line about Owen im guessing it does

Oh, Lady LisaV - don't think I didn't see your edit about my celebrity husband Mr Buble!

:

Not a good one - the season. But last night was interesting. I think it's about the fifth or sixth episode. they did a Thanksgiving/Christmas one before Thanksgiving and that was that until the new year. So we're not too far in.

Oh Kelly - how disappointing - I thought your lack of posting meant you were running through the highlands as we speak searching for his clan. Can you imagine the WW exercise points on that little jaunt?

On the bold I will give you another je ne sais quoi. Still a dirty dog but a 100% je ne sais quoi.

 

[lisaviolet]

And me - I'm having a better day after a horrendous day.

This has nothing to do with my bad day - but I'm getting petrified of being off scale so I rejoined the BL but only for two week weigh-ins. And trying to let everything go. So I will never go on and on about my love/hate scale drama again. If I do - please tell me to shut the eff up. I'm serious. Shut the eff up Lisa will scare me into shutting up. I long for days with success off scale but I think they are sadly - LONG GONE.

I've said it before - I'll say it again - youngins' GET IT DONE! I think part of my issue is thinking to my success in my thirties and not accepting life has changed and what worked just doesn't now. And I thought all those older women were speaking nonsense when I was younger. They weren't.

Even Jean struggles. Athlete. No prior issues. It's whole new world.

And I've decided that - really strange like it came to me - that I will be at goal in end of October/November. No mathematical calculation - because if it was I would say next year for my speed. But it's NOVEMBER.

Let's hope I"m a soothsayer.

Paula - I was thinking about you yesterday. What was going on with me made me think "Lisa you don't know anything really - you think you know things but you don't". And I thought about your small gain this week (I read too fast and only caught it on Nancy's) and I smiled. There are very few things that I know in life - that I have confidence in. But Paula - and I know you know - but I need to tell you - I know 100% that you will reach goal. 100%. Sighing. Seriously. You give off that vibe. Big time.

 

[HockeyKat]

Kat- LOVE THAT! and once again, awesome pace! How's the calf feeling?

Calf feels fine! It must have been a little bit of a pull, due to hockey.

My hips and leg muscles are (understandably) overall a bit sore, but so far my feet are pretty happy and the soreness is not localized at all. Not too bad since before Jan 3 I was a complete couch potato for at least a month.

So glad to see the added info. I was like "wow that's weird behaviour" .

November? Geez.

So excited on the bold. Please someone list your itinerary in case I can swing it. Like when is everyone arriving/leaving/staying. The whole enchilada.

HAHA!! Well, I guess I wasn't very clear anyhow. There is furniture in my bedroom still, just not the furniture that I *want* to be there. Evidently they had some problem with backordering. We may have to take the floor model but they are going to give us a discount... that is the Fri night negotiation. Whee.

This is what I have on itinerary: Paula and Liz are bookending family trips on either side. Amiee will be there Wed and leaves Tues. I am likely to get there either Thurs night or Fri AM, and drive back Tues. Amy is driving up (over?) on Fri AM and leaving on Tuesday. E and Nancy are flying in on Fri and out Mon afternoon. Thurs and Mon, Amiee and I are finding AP-rate mod rooms, and Amy is joining us for Mon night. Fri night is Swalphin for the whole group minus Paula, and Sat/Sun is BW 2-bed for all of us.


Oh, and so glad you are having a better day!!

 

[lisaviolet]

I am SO excited. I swear, thoughts of this is what got me thru a somewhat uncomfortable workout this morning!

]

Gosh I'm so excited and I'm probably not even going. So exciting how quickly it's coming.

Glad to know there is other crazies pep taking themselves. I tend to be very dramatic.

If I complain in my head I say:

Well you're lucky you have legs. Move them. Now.

Lovely to think about....

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Hi Ladies,
you sure do post alot on Friday's. I swear I work harder on my work at home days than I do when I am in the office.

Liz, Glad you have great weather, enjoy.

While the rest of you are there in 6 weeks, Meg and I will hold down the fort here, but you MUST post details.

Maybe you laides will do it again in 2011

WW sucks HA H I am startving.. last night I did 30 min Step Areobics DVD, and i just did 2 miles walk/run in 30 mins on the treadmill, I have 11 points left.

I hope you all have a great Friday.

 

[HockeyKat]

Jo, the first week or two of any program is the hardest. Esp the first few days... two weeks ago I was seriously ready to start munching on my cube wall. Just power through it and I promise, you will feel so much better in a week or two.
