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

[lisaviolet]

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.
.

I absolutely KWYM Paula.

But I didn't want to sound like a looney tune earlier. But it came to me out of the blue. It's like I can see it. You getting to goal. I know - strange talk. (EDIT: Strange being feelings coming over me from nowhere - not YOU getting to goal - nothing strange about that kiddo)

I think this is simply a temporary burnout for you or maybe there is some emotional block that is merely saying "HELLO Paula". Like it was waiting. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

But I do know I feltl it. Now if I could just get to me.

Or maybe even better - maybe it came to me to give to you at the perfect time - when you needed to hear it. Sometimes I truly believe that could happen.

Overly sensitive sucks in many ways. But it's great in other ways.

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

Love it Amiee. Too funny.

 

[lisaviolet]

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.

That will be MY ONLY saving grace. If you guys do live drinking posts from WDW.

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.



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 can't beleve me of all people is answering. What have you all done to me?

But if you're ON - well your day to want to break loose will come regardless. So I say stay ON until you want it big time and enjoy - enjoy. And I sense you don't want it that bad right now. That's my sense - that ON is giving you more satisfaction than anything else. And when it doesn't that's the time.

I agree with Lisa.

The only reason I am semi-splurging tomorrow is because I have a party to go to, and want to be able to have a margarita and some party food. I have to be able to work things like this in once in a while. My plan is to eat healthy for bfast and lunch, and then eat party food and maybe have a beer or two when I get home. No crazy eat and drink everything in sight, just be reasonable about things.

I have been with you... very little alcohol (2 light beers and one glass of wine in 3 weeks), and most of the time under calories and never over.

Um, do you know me AT ALL?!?! When DON'T I do live TRs? And when DON'T I do drunken posts?!?! Of course I will be doing both!

Lisa--this is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you! You are so right...I am not feeling the need/want to off the rails right now. I am happy being on, I'm not feeling deprived, I know I am in the zone, etc. So yes, I'll wait till the timing is right.

Lisa - could you tell me what I look like at goal? I have no freakin clue what my goal is or what I will look like at this point and could use some help...

 

[goofyfan-12]

A little more than an hour and I can go home!!!!

oh and no ghost sightings!!!

I hope all of you who were drinking tonight had one for me!

 

[goofyfan-12]

I'm home and about to call it a day.

Good morning folks...

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

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

Me to please, Strawberry

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.

TOO FUNNY

Good Night to you!!

Note to self:

Drinking the night before boot camp w/Erin is probably not one of the more stellar ideas I've ever had.

 

[adsrtw]

I'm sorry Nancy. If it's any consolation, I am swollen from my drinking festivities. Can't wear my normally loose ring.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

That stinks EE! Water retention is a huge issue for me. My body reacts so significantly to what might seem to be the littlest things!

Erin gave me a book that she wanted me to look at. It's a sports nutrition book. Hopefully I can glean some info that will help me get over this hump and lose the excess that my body so desparately wants to hold onto. (of course, the alcohol doesn't help my cause. I know that already!)

Time to do something productive with my day

Employee drama. She's being harassed and she wont listen. We spent the last 10 mind in the stairwell trying to keep her calm. Sent her home. Agh

Hey at least you made it to booth camp!!!

I know all to much about employee drama, sorry you have to deal with that today.

 

[HockeyKat]

Nancy, ouch. But it probably will help with getting over the hangover... I find that sweating it out makes it better quicker. (yes, E, not like you know!! )

Liz, we live waiting for a report. Loved the pics last night, looks like you two are having a blast!


Amy, if you are around... talk to me about overhydration. I know you had trouble during one half, and want to find out what to do/not do.

Also, I am probably at the point where I need to start thinking about fuel for longer run/walks. Any tips?

I don't want to over hydrate or over fuel. I have trouble drinking water during exercise, as it makes my stomach sloshy and I feel ill. That even counts for high-exertion stuff like hockey.

Hey everybody. Cashing in my free movie passes. We are watching the tooth fairy tonight. Can't wait for the previews.
