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

[cantwaitvaca09]

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.

Thanks Kat!

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

glad to hear it!


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.

And that's it in a nutshell!

If I complain in my head I say:

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

I'm going to use that on myself

WW sucks HA H I am startving

Hang in there Jo. It really does get better after the first few days!


Making Chicken parmigiana for dinner. Not sure that it's truly "WW friendly", but the chicken will be baked, not fried, the pasta will be whole grain, and the cheese low fat. So, not so bad really. The garlic bread, however, I will avoid like the plague

Drinkin'

EE - you're making me fess up. I too have a SMALL glass of my favorite fruit goin' on right now

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi! Waiting in line for Test Track! First cider of the night! I will swear to drink for all of you. I take it as my mission. : )

 

[adsrtw]

Test track is my kids favorite ride at Epcot.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Hi! Waiting in line for Test Track! First cider of the night! I will swear to drink for all of you. I take it as my mission. : )

oooh! oooh! A margarita from the Mexican Cantina for me please!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

OMG. druckin' funk.

one glass turned into many.

 

[adsrtw]

Me too,lol.

 

[HockeyKat]

Lucky, lucky. Tomorrow is likely to be a semi-splurge night for me... 3 solid weeks not going over 1200 calories and I likely need a bit of a body shake-me-up, anyhow.

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

Sam is a night watchman that died in the great fire of 1911. From what I am told, he is still guarding the building and protecting those of us working in it. In general, he is harmless, but still don't want to meet him.

The night is going well so far. Work is progressing and I am getting things done. My eating plans are all sorts of screwed up. I took my mom to lunch at noon and brought food for breakfast and dinner with me. Just trying to figure out what to eat at this point. I am thinking dinner and can eat my oatmeal if I get hungry later. Way too complicated right?

And me - I'm having a better day after a horrendous day. happy to hear that things are going better

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.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Lisa. Right now I am not so sure. Things are just 'off' at the moment and I am seriously questioning if this is it for me or not. Nothing definitive yet, but questioning. I am hoping that once the 1/2 is overwith I can go back to focusing on making good food choices again. I just seem distracted from that at the moment. kwim? Anyways, I am babbling so I'll stop now.

Hi! Waiting in line for Test Track! First cider of the night! I will swear to drink for all of you. I take it as my mission. : )

Cider, how I miss thee!!!! That was my drink of choice in college at the local Irish pub. Yum!!!! Liz - keep checking in so that we can live vicariously through you.

Cutie - Hope you are having fun!

- back to work for me.

Hi all! Just got home from dinner with my parents. We're flipping between watching a hockey game(yes, a theme in my life) and the Haiti fundraiser. I enjoyed every bite of my ice cream tonight.

Kat-Why the long wait for furniture? I'm rooting for you in the battle to get your furniture! And isn't it great when you realize running is getting a little easier?

Nancy-I'm actually enjoying a relaxed night, been a bit of a long week. But I hope you all of you who are enjoying drinks tonight are having one for me.

Lisa-The more you talk about this the more I want to go back and watch. I think my cousin has the previous seasons on dvd so I'll have to borrow them. Now that Glee is taking a break I only have one or two other shows I watch. Glad you seem to be having a better day. I always try to take the advice of people older then me, they've been where I am now and where I'm going.

Jo-We will hold down the fort while the others are off enjoying a fabulous trip but only if they promise pictures to let us pretend we were there! Believe me you don't need to be on WW to have hungry moments but you can do it!

Thought I'd share. I got a runners calendar at the calendar store tonight for only $4. It is a calendar that lets you log runs and things like that. It has space for you to write details about your runs, it has tips and quotes. It's one of those spiral notebook type calendars. Thought I'd share because it was a good deal and most calendar stores are trying to sell their stock. We'll see if this is an asset to me or just another thing to have hanging around.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Lucky, lucky.

ask me tomorrow how "lucky" this is. I have freakin' boot camp w/Erin at 9:00am. Wheeee But I do hear you. Being *good* for so long you just need a release!

Oh - and how did the furniture smack-down go?

I am hoping that once the 1/2 is overwith I can go back to focusing on making good food choices again. I just seem distracted from that at the moment.

I totally get that Paula. Trading one focus for another. But sometimes I think it's a good thing to shift goals. It can be good for both the body and the soul, and give you a renewed energy. I really have no doubt that when we return from our trip, you'll be ready to get back on track again.

Watching George Clooney's Hope for Haiti telethon. The stars are definitely out tonight!

Just a quick drive by right now. Had a fabulous day touring DHS and Epcot virtually with Liz! SO FUNNY. She is drunk at JellyRolls right now after getting buzzed at Epcot and then riding Test Track. Then back to the UK where she had FIVE ciders and the CMs knew her by name!

 

[HockeyKat]

We got $200 off the floor model (~20%) and the guy is supposed to call to schedule delivery for next week. Hopefully he does by the end of the weekend or I will be pissy, again.

The mattress has been taking up most of one of my spare rooms since the end of Nov...

Enjoy the wine, hockey games, etc.!

 

[adsrtw]

So my buzz didn't last long. I just love when my boss' boss pays. It's really nice to be able to hang out and let loose with them after work.

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG. druckin' funk.

one glass turned into many.

Again, I LOVE it when Drunk Nancy comes out to play! I am still on the wagon--going on three weeks. I'll go off it next week Friday when Jeff comes back.

Lucky, lucky. Tomorrow is likely to be a semi-splurge night for me... 3 solid weeks not going over 1200 calories and I likely need a bit of a body shake-me-up, anyhow.

I am in the same place. Been perfect for three weeks--and likely SHOULD do a higher calorie day. But I tell ya, I am SO SCARED to. Like, I am ON, you know? And I would hate to derail right now. It's all such a mental thing for me. What do you all think?

I haven't even been using my WW flex points and only a few measly activity points. I have been pretty rigidly sticking to my (whopping) 19 points. I have had a few days that may have gone as high as 22. But really, for two weeks I haven't touched those flex points.

 

[adsrtw]

My kids just don't get it. Ryan lost another tooth and I had no clue it was loose. Can't exactly leave my debit card under the pillow.

EE, you sure you aren't still buzzed?

 

[adsrtw]

No buzz at all, but so slap happy. A very long week of butt kissing. Scouts honor. I can't wait to see some of our posts in just a few weeks.
