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

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, so we have two votes for Wright. I'm on it!

And EE, no neosporin needed. No blisters or anything. Just uncomfortable and they (literally) rubbed me the wrong way. All I can say is that I was "aware" of my socks. And you shouldn't be distracted by how your socks are feeling, kwim?

As for perfect running weather...speak for yourself! Perfect for me is 50s. Or low 60s with cloud cover. Right now, heat is one of my concerns. I hate to run long distances when it is warm. I am assuming the start will be fine. Should only be that last hour (when it counts!) that I will feel overheated. But FL has been so cold this season, so it is hard to say.

2 weeks from tomorrow I'll be boarding a plane.


but now, I'm going to bed. Must rest so I can run tomorrow. Train, eat, sleep, repeat. 2 more weeks.

I understand what you mean E. So glad you don't have blisters. I hate them so much. Yikes!

50's is warm for the pool?!?! You don't mean to actually get in it, right?

OMG no. I want it to be 100* out before I go IN the pool

eh. We'll be done by 9:00 (yes, yes we will). Just as the day begins to warm. It WILL be perfect

Besides. It's really not the heat, it's the humidity that we northerners need to be concerned about

I'm loving the siggy updates. They look fantastic.

No, I meant if the lows were in the mid-to-upper-50s (remember we are starting at 6AM, not too far off the low for the night), then the highs would be in the 70s, therefore good pool weather. Sorry, sometimes my brain makes the connections and my fingers/mouth do not!

Whew! Was getting concerned. I could handle 70's.

POOL. Word. There is something about being from Maine or anywhere way up here--to dream about pool weather when surrounded by snow. *sigh* Can't wait to be there! Of course, being in a bathing suit in public I could do without.

I tried some of my suits on the other day, which is always a scary thing. And at least I have something I can wear that isn't too too awful. But still. I am never comfortable in a bathing suit. Really, never. Even when at a weight I am happy with. My body type is just not meant for wearing a bathing suit. No matter how thin I am, I just don't look good in one. And of course, since I am not thin right now, that will only compound the issue.

Ronda--hey stranger!

 

[HockeyKat]

Just stand next to me, and you'll look better. I promise.

35-45 lbs overweight + bathing suit = not ideal. Oh well, enough drinks and I won't care anymore.

 

[adsrtw]

Kat just earned a WORD!

Yep going to drink til I don't care. Off to text til we fall asleep. Good night!

 

[3DisneyKids]

And, ahem, EE...with whom would you be texting at this hour whilst in bed???? Hmmm?

 

[poppinspal]

E- Good job with the run. I wish I could help on the socks but I like totally different socks then most the world. I like my nice cushy under armour ones.

EE- Congrats on the loss! Awesome job.

Kat- At least you finished your run, that's what really matters.

I'm actually getting very excited for all of you to head to WDW! I can't wait to hear reports on the race too!

I had a pretty bad night of hockey. Just frustrating. Probably was not helped by the fact that I have not ate well at all the last two days. While I ate more then I should yesterday, today I ate less but it was really bad stuff. I felt it. It can also be so hard to play with guys, I feel I have to work twice as hard some days. I also took a few hits to the same area of my arm tonight, right now it's tender but I'm hoping it's just a bruise.

I'm getting myself back on track tomorrow and I'm going to get focused for my run. My plans fell through for tomorrow so I'm going to run and sleep early.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Bye! I am off for the week-end. I'll have my phone, so I'll stay in touch when I can. OMG--pizza tonight. So excited. I have all of my splurge points set aside for it.


P.S. Woke up and got up to get dressed, etc. and as soon as my feet hit the floor--OUCH. The leg is super painful today after yesterday's long run. Thank God it is time to taper. As long as I am careful for the next 2 weeks, baby it and only do some short runs, I should be fine for race day. But the pain this morning is not fun.

Morning Ladies,

E, have a great time at Disney on Ice, my girls LOVED IT.


I am so so inspired and impressed by you ladies with the mileage you are doing. GREAT JOB.

Meg, sorry about the bad game but today is FRIDAY!!

EE, way to go at WW great loss!

Last night I ran/walk outside for 2.63 mile (per my watch) it was not so bad this time and I have to say I did more run than walk. Today I plan on doing Jillian DVD and run again tomorrow. The past two days I have been on track with my points, but the weekends are when it hard.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[poppinspal]

Happy Friday ladies!!!!

Jo- is it completely odd that I find weekends easier? I tend to have more time to make myself healthier food so I worry a whole lot less about my weekend eating.

My big plans for tonight... running, homework and laundry. Truthfully I'm actually excited to have a night to just catch up on those little things.

Hi everyone!

Last day of work tomorrow - Urgh! We are only there for around 2 hours though and then closing up. It will be bittersweet!

And, I kind of feel like im using up all of my finger and toe crossing and good thoughts, but I have another interview on Monday morning so...! Different company this time!

Oh, I am SO jealous of you guys going to do the princess! BUT I am extremely blown away by the hard work you are all putting into it, really you guys are an inspiration!

I haven't been on my game this past few weeks - the eating isn't too bad and surprisingly Ive managed to keep the drinking to a minimum but I have been so off on exercise and im starting to feel blah! So, Monday its back to it (I can't start tomorrow, after we close the shop we are going for 'We've got no job' drinks! )

Hope everyone is having a great day

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Meg, enjoy your night in. We are staying in to!

Kelly, Sending you great wishes that you find something soon.
Enjoy your have no job drinks!!! And have a drink for the job you will soon get.

 

[adsrtw]

And, ahem, EE...with whom would you be texting at this hour whilst in bed???? Hmmm?

Somebody who shaves his head & has blue eyes.

 

[HockeyKat]

Kelly, good luck on the job hunt! Enjoy those drinks!



OMG I just had the best frozen dinner ever. It's a full-fat version... Stouffer's Battered Haddock and Mac&Cheese. 400 cals and probably too much fat for WW points to be happy about it, but man it was good.


I am tired as crap today, but overall really not that sore. My shins are feeling a lot better than they were last week.

I likely won't be around much this weekend. Hockey games tonight at 7:45PM, tomorrow at 9AM and 9PM, and Sunday at either 8:30AM or 10 (depends on where we place). I am also keeping score for the game after mine tonight and tomorrow AM, so I will get home after 11:30PM tonight. Plus I am having the Pampered Chef party at 3PM tomorrow at my house. At least today was housekeeper day so I won't need to clean first.


Sunday afternoon, collapse.
