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

[cantwaitvaca09]

Morning Ladies Happy Hump Day! Wednesday

Meg, Congrats on the Win!! Hope you feel more rested today.

Lisa, Are you haveing a big party at your place on Sunday, DH an I have the party every year, but DH works this year so no party. I will still make my Turkey Chili, And Beer Bread YUMMY!!! I will do squats while I eat the bread ha ha !!

Ok, update on DH, Yes his was being a total ***, and I let him have it last night. No he could not run a 5K, he use to be in great shape, he does weights most of the time, he is not a runner, he would rather bike. The only way he would run is if he had to take down a bad guy.

He did say that he was sorry for not seeing it how I do, and now that he thought about it he knows he was wrong, again I think he just wanted to make peace.
Whatever!
I have one of my friends is going to do the 5Kwith me. I am still going to do it. Like I told DH, yes I use to work out all the time, 3 hours a day, but that was before kids, and life, not to mention 10 years ago. So for me to be run/walking a 15min mile less than two month from starting this, I think it is a big deal, weather he thinks so or not.

Hey I am doing this at 190lb, So I know this is a big deal.

Now on to E, It does sound like the new gym is more money, but if you go there everyday and it sound like you do. That is $2.00 a day for a better place, I know you are not happy with your old gym. Also I am pretty sure that you can deduct the cost of the membership on your taxes

(blue cross, just came out with a befit for that, don't know all the details yet)

I say if you can afford the extra $30.00 a month, DO IT

By the way. Emily is selling the Devil's minions. Yes, my own child. If you want some, let me know. I mean, you shouldn't order ANY. But, this video about them made me cry.

And it IS a great organization for girls!

Oh by the way, where can I get a shirt that says this
"Dead last" beats "did not finish" which trumps "did not start"?

Be careful, some have race specific distances on the front.

OMG, I need this t-shirt: http://www.cafepress.com/+i_was_pale_before_womens_cap_sleeve_tshirt,385706001

Thanks for the link, Ronda! I like the saying, but not the yellow...

Btw, so sorry about DGF's mom.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Kat - OMG, that T-Shirt is awesome! That is so my new saying

I am pale to the point of being translucent. My hair is quite dark, though, which makes it irritating.

In a meeting the other day, my boss said something to the effect of, "and this makes Kat pale." My employee chimed in, softly, "... paler."

I seen the Tshirt, thats too funny that someone would make that kind of shirt, so you are not alone!!!

Lol on your employee, thats not nice!

Mornin' all! Or actually by now it's afternoon!

We started our day with a bit of nusiance snow which caused a 90 minute delay. I don't mind too much, because I got a bit of extra exercise in shovelling. I was feeling a bit *off* today. Really tired and lethargic, so I modified my scheduled workout a bit and I seem to have bounced back.

Liz- I love what you said to Jo about how people (spouses & S.O.'s especially) react to the changes we are trying to make in ourselves. And you are so right. I need to remember to step back and stand in someone elses shoes to take in the view every now and then.

Kat- that t-shirt is priceless!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Wow, super quiet day here!

Jo--I agree with Liz. He may well be operating out of fear. And good for you for doing the 5k with a friend!

Ronda--praying for you and Sue and Sue's mom. It's a tough situation for sure. Keep us posted.

My rest day was...restful! Although, I had the worst pedicure experience ever! OMG! I will tell the whole story because it is worth telling. But gotta get my kids in bed first.

And did you see on FB? Cammie got her braces on today! Such a big girl!

 

[adsrtw]

Home from gym and work, maybe I will actually get to read now.

 

[HockeyKat]

E, how is Cammie handling the braces?

 

[adsrtw]

So I had a very quick scan, forgive me!

Ronda - sending hugs your way. Tough situation.

E - Word on the race saying

Kat - has your snow melted yet? How did the angel making escapade go?

Nancy - baby goat update? How are they in the cold?

Liz - yes, I so want to buy

Paula - awesome that you are getting your mojo back

Amy - Lil D is just a darling! She is growing up so quickly.

Jo - rants are welcome

Cathie & Megan - great job on the losses

Lisa - are you going to try to visit WDW during a certain week in March?

 

[HockeyKat]

The snow has not totally melted, but as of today the roads are finally clear. Supposed to get more this weekend, though...


I have been having some weird issues with my left hand lately. Tingly, numb feeling in my pinky finger and part of my ring finger. Well, today I researched it some and decided that perhaps a few days with the wrist brace might not be the worst idea. Here's to hoping that and some ibuprofen will make it better.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Hi, I did not get to read all the post I just wanted to give a quick update

Weighed in tonight and I thought for sure I would be up after the week I had but ... OMG I am down 1.4

Bad news, I have to give up a point a day now
E, I had braces for 4 years as a kid.., worth it now, but not so much then.


Kat, Glad the roads are better

gotta go baby is fussy tonight, but she is potty trained
(not overnight yet)

 

[3DisneyKids]

Great job on the loss, Jo! See? Weight Watchers WORKS! Even when you make the occasional bad choice.

Cammie is doing fine with the braces. She is young enough that she is excited about them. But she is uncomfortable tonight, for sure. Soft foods only.

We are fortunate that our ortho here does kids really young. He has this whole method of preventative orthodontics where he does work on younger kids and thus the braces are on and off so quickly. Riley only had his on for 6 months and his teeth are gorgeous! And Cam will be the same--six months and done. (Of course, they have palette expanders for 6 months beforehand and then a retainer afterward.)

OMG Nancy, don't tell Becca! She'll hate you! But it is so nice for the kids to be done with this long before middle school.

 

[HockeyKat]

That sounds great E. I had mine in jr high and hated them. I had a palette expander as well, and a whole bunch of icky retainer type things to straighten my jaw.

Glad she is adjusting well!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

And did you see on FB? Cammie got her braces on today! Such a big girl!

Speaking of FB. I reset my language preference to "pirate" OMG it's freakin' HILARIOUS

Nancy - baby goat update? How are they in the cold?

Baby goats are awesome, thanks. Did I tell you their names? 3 boys, one girl. We have Sheldon, Penny, Raj & Wolowitz (Big Bang Theory )

The snow has not totally melted, but as of today the roads are finally clear. Supposed to get more this weekend, though...

ugh. We got a measly annoying 1" or so this morning. This is New England. We're supposed to get the snow!

hmmm. let me know if it helps. I have issues with pinched nerves in my back that get irritated when I run a lot (the pounding on my non-runner physique), or when I'm getting into some serious weight lifting.

Weighed in tonight and I thought for sure I would be up after the week I had but ... OMG I am down 1.4

OMG Nancy, don't tell Becca! She'll hate you! But it is so nice for the kids to be done with this long before middle school.

some of it depends on their issues though. Seth was able to be done younger, Nate was older and longer (multiple issues) and Becca, well, she hasn't had hers very long. Next week they are *hopefully* doing the imprints for her retainer <crosses fingers>. We are so.close. to being done with paying for braces

 

[AKASnowWhite]

today I didn't track my food as I ate it. Now I have to sit down and do the whole day and hope that I didn't mess up somewhere. <grrr>. And I really should be SEWING! Yes, costume mania has started again! 15 little sailor skirts are first on my list.
