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

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi, I was looking for the thread...and then I saw Kat is having a Pampered Chef party. No, no, no.I want MY Kat! Not this impostor!

Good luck on hockey tomorrow!!!


I continue to read, and continue to feel stressed. My knee felt better yesterday and worse today, and I had PT and everything. I'm concerned now.

If anyone wants to chat during my 11.5 this weekend, let me know!!!!

Megan - Here's to getting back on track!

Jo - good job on your run/walk!

Good luck Kelly!

Kat - I'm checking out the site tonight.

Liz - Get better soon!

Went shopping tonight and ran into a mutual friend of my ex-best friend. We snarked for a bit (she didn't know what ex-BFF did), so I filled her in. Living well is the best revenge!

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! I am happy to say that I can see sunlight today. Bye bye ugly skies.

 

[poppinspal]

Kelly- Enjoy your no job drinks, you definitely deserve them. Hopefully you'll find a job soon!

Kat- I love that you spend as much time as me in rinks! I have two college games to go to today. (Working one, as a fan at the other.) And I'm working one tomorrow. The exciting thing is my little cousin is playing a mini game between periods at my second game tonight. So fun.

Liz- I'm sorry about your knee. Hopefully you'll starting feeling better soon.

EE- We've had sunny skies here... just with freezing temps! It'd be so much warmer if it weren't for the windy!

So I ran 30 minutes last night which was 3.29 miles. I'm off to squeeze in a little strength training before more homework and then off to the rink. I'm back on track with food, I hope I didn't derail my week too much!

GOOD MORNING!

I've been reading too - just a bit in the weeds these days. But that's nothing out of the ordinary for me.

I had another killer workout with that evil trainer Some days I swear she is trying to break me.

My weekend is filled with all kinds of stuff. Sewing in every spare moment that I can steal, "Trivia Night" fundraiser event tonight which is so much fun. Last year our team came in 2nd. Hopefully the questions will be favorable for us and we can do well again.

Monday is the big "reveal" on the goat's milk soap project, so it looks like I'll be changing my long run from Monday until Tuesday. The weather is looking a bit dicey this week, so I am crossing my fingers that I can get to the gym Tuesday morning to get the miles in on the TM. I do have a TM at home, but there is no way in he!! that I could do my long run at home. I *could* consider doing it tomorrow, but I so need a day off. My body, especially that glute muscle, needs it desparately.

PM me your bib numbers for the Princess Half. I want to track y'all.

I did 7 miles this morning, OUTSIDE! There's supposed to be snow again tonight/tomorrow. It was cold, but it was so good to get out. The trail I normally use is still too wet for my liking. Puddles alone don't drive me away, but wet, cold feet do. I ran on the sidewalk. I may pay for it later. But it was outside! The times were good, too. I've been getting faster.

I put off registering for the St Louis half. When I went to the site Thursday it was closed, but reopening Friday morning. I was johnny on the spot at 10:00 and paid my money. It's April 11 - 50 days according to my watch.

Thanks for the questions about Sue's mom. The treatment team met last week and are expecting that she can get out next weekend (26th, 27th). She will still need support - someone close by - when she gets out. I think DGF may go there for a week. I would not be surprised if we have her stay with us for a while. The operative term being while. She has visited us in the past. This time she'll be motivated to get back home. DGF talks to her mom in the evening. Without her hearing aids there's always the question of is she just not hearing me, or does she not know. We did get them to knock off the percocet ; )

Now it's time for laundry and other house stuff, like how to hang my golf bag from the garage ceiling. A worthy afternoon endevor.

Quick drive-by at the half-way point in our week-end away! Busy, but nice. I always like getting out of dodge, even if only for a couple of days. This time of year is just so dreary. We keep saying that we need to move our Disney trips to February, and it is really the truth. Next year I'll have to get on that.

I'll have lots of time Sunday night to catch up, but until then...

Ronda--great job on the 7 miler! Woot!

Meg--I take it back on the pace. You are faster! Ha! But still, I would love to pace you for a 5k. I am dying to break a 30-minute 5k.

Kelly--thinking good job thoughts for you!

Liz--I am worried about that knee. We'll talk.

Kat--Pampered Chef party?! Who ARE you?!?!

Sorry about the knee.

Thanks!! Will update both pampered chef story and hockey below.

I feel like I am pretty much living at the rink this weekend! I had a 7:45PM game last night, then kept score for the next gme. This morning was a 8:50AM game, then I worked the table for the next game. Tonight I have a 9PM game, and am keeping score for the game before and after so I have to be there around 7:15 and will finish the last game around midnight. Tomorrow, it is looking likely that my game will be 10AM (yay!) and I will keep score for the game after. So that's 4 games played, 1 game working the table, and keeping score for 4 games.

Quick drive-by at the half-way point in our week-end away! Busy, but nice. I always like getting out of dodge, even if only for a couple of days. This time of year is just so dreary.

Kat--Pampered Chef party?! Who ARE you?!?!

Glad you are having fun on your weekend away!!


Pampered Chef. So, I went to a friend's party like a month ago. Another friend wanted to host a party but lives in an apt, so I offered to co-host if she would get people to come. I also had wanted to order a few things but realized if I hosted I got both free shipping and a discount, plus the original friend gets points for me signing up to host.

Fast forward, and my friend that wanted to co-host.... BAILED at noon today!! ARGH! I only did this weekend because she works weekends and this was her only weekend off this month. Sigh.


Hockey. Games so far. Tied last night 2-2, and won this morning 1-0. There is a pretty good chance that we will lose our game tonight, but it looks like we will place either 3rd or 4th, which means we get the later (10AM) game tomorrow rather than the 8:30AM. Plus, I have never been on a tournament team that won a game in regulation before, so that's pretty exciting!!


Off to do a short 20 min in the hot tub, then shower and start cutting up veggies for party appetizers. I likely won't be back on until tomorrow afternoon, so hope everyone has a good weekend!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I did 7 miles this morning, OUTSIDE!

Nice job! Glad to hear that you were able to get into the St. Louis 1/2!

And here's hoping that Sue's mom continues to improve. I did have to laugh about the hearing aides. My grandfather used to keep them in his pocket. Frustrated my mother to no end.

Liz--I am worried about that knee.

yeah, me too. Knees and the surrounding muscles/tendons/ligaments can be tricky stuff. More info on what's going on. please!

and welcome back Erika! How was Boston?

Fast forward, and my friend that wanted to co-host.... BAILED at noon today!!

Oh man! Hope you have a great turn out - serve alcohol. People will buy more!



I'm currently enjoying the aroma coming from my kitchen. I have 2 Caramel Apple Pies in the oven Of course, Erin nearly choked when I told her that I was making them tonight. AND having pizza.

I swear there was something else I wanted to say. But I'm delerious from the pie scent and can't remember what it was.

 

[adsrtw]

It took 5 TM's to get 11 miles in, but I did it. The gym was swamped today. I also have a little shopping under my belt.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good Sunday Morning!

The sky is bright blue, the sun shining, the breeze is light - GORGEOUS day for an outdoor run or bike today.

Alas, it's my *rest* day. My one and only all week, and my body totally needs it. Mother Nature is being a cruel, cruel woman.

 

[adsrtw]

At Mesker Park Zoo with the kids. It's overcast with a chance of rain, but we needed some outside time.

 

[adsrtw]

Kat - rude of your co-host.

Nancy- I will be waiting for the big reveal results.

Ronda - bib number will be sent tonight.

The Princess is two weeks from today. I just did 2 hours of hiking at the zoo. The hills are outrageous. St. Louis and Cincy zoo hills have nothing on our rolling hills. Quads are sore, but if I can handle the zoo, then I can handle Florida's terrain.

And just a little snark at the ex best friend's expense. I ran into a mutual friend and was told how miserable she is. This is where my living well mantra came from. Oh, and it looks like I have won the hunt. Feel like a giddy teenager.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Oh, and it looks like I have won the hunt.

oh sure. Drop a bomb like that and RUN.

You *know* we're waiting.

 

[adsrtw]

Yeah, I kinda did that on purpose.

Things are going so far, so good. I'm crazy about him, but I won't admit it yet. He's crazy about me and did admit it. Slow and steady. He has a good job and races cars on the side. He is big on family (my observation).

 

[SeptemberGirl]

EE - I want to hear it all in 10 DAYS!!!!

Meg - I am SO impressed with your times. OMG.

Kat - how did it go? Hockey and party?

Ronda - I'll PM you. Hell, I would post it. Is that bad? Not safe, eh?

Nancy - ooooh, can I have a little slice? I have the points!!!!

Lisa - Honey, I really wish you'd write me a BIG email about the guy friend upset. Seriously.

I did my 12 miles today. It sucked. I can't wait until this is over. I plan on becoming a 5k champ. Nancy, Meg, Paula, E...who wants to meet me for a 5k? I'll drive to one! And you know i go to MA a lot!!!

Also. Clothes. OMG. So wearing yoga pants all weekend.

 

[adsrtw]

Yes, details in 10 days. Maybe I will have more to add.

I have 11 points left and I have no idea what I should eat. Not hungry.

 

[Ronda93]

Eh, some prefer to PM, some just post the number. Depends on you, but I want my phone to be busy that morning!

I added up my mileage. So far in 2010 I'm at 99.4 miles. I need an annual mileage goal. 500 should be easy. I like 600. Now I need a ticker!

Ronda

 

[adsrtw]

Ronda, I think 600 is a great goal.

 

[poppinspal]

Hi all, hope you've all had a good weekend.

E- I had a really good run the other day, I hadn't done a sub 30 minute 5k in years! My run today was 30 minutes and I did 2.95 miles. Hope you had a great weekend! I thought of you when I saw the ad for Disney on Ice the other day.

Kat- Can't wait to hear about how the rest of hockey went!!! I also hope your Pampered Chef party went well even if your co-host bailed!

Nancy- Carmel Apple Pies? I do love carmel apples... does the pie taste like one? Please tell me more!

Liz- Yes, please to a 5k! That would be so much fun.

So yesterday I kicked my own butt with my workout. I have to say I'm sore in places I didn't expect. Today I did 2.95 miles in 30 minutes. I have a 5k in two weeks so I'm hoping to work on my speed leading into that and then I'll be into training for my half!!! eek!
