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

[adsrtw]

Kat WW is ok, I am trying hard to stick to my points, no more using points to drink coke. I have not had a coke in about a week and a half. (Everyone in my house has given it up for lent)
But with that said, staying in my points I am always hungry.


EE, how do you do it? What do you eat? and Yes I am snacking on veggies, Carrots, Cucumbers, ect. I even have the Green Giant 0 point broccoli.

I owe you a post before class tonight.

Shoot, my bib number strategy doesn't work. I didn't pay attention, it needs first and last name.

Racers should check out

You can sign email address and phone numbers up to get progress reports. I signed up a bunch of people in January. You need to know their mobile carrier to use text messages. Pretty cool.

Kat- I'm not sure I enjoy the curling itself but my Dad is so funny when we watch it that I don't mind. In fact I'm watching it now! Yay for the size 14!!!

Kelly- I hope one of these interviews works out for you. The good news is you keep getting interviews, which can be a big step.


Princess runners- I really hope you'll let those of us who are sitting at home live through you. For the run and the trip itself. I know you will all rock it!

 

[adsrtw]

SFor those of you not going, I will give some details later (princess weekend).

Congrats to the losers!

Jo, I snack a lot. Some of my favs:

Healthy life flax bread - 2 slices, 1 pt. I toast it and spread a laughing cow lite wedge on 1 side and then add cucumber, lettuce, and grilled mushrooms. 2 points

Fiber one with yogurt - 2 points. Chase it with some water and you will be full.

Kashi hot cereal honey cinnamon - 2 points.

Eggbeater omelet - 1/4 c is a point. I can have a huge omelet with tons of veggies and a laughing cow for 3 points.

I'm in to quantity eating. It's become a game to see how few points I can get in a good meal or snack. I eat breakfast at 6, morning snack at 9ish, lunch at noon or 1, snack at 3 dinner at 6 most of the time and then a snack around 9. Breakfast is 4 points, lunch is 6 and dinner is usually 8. I'm going to try a heavier breakfast after the half. I hope that helps

Jo! Megan! I've watched the Olympics non-stop and from your posts I've realized I somehow missed the ski cross! OMG. I went out yesterday for a couple of hours. Needed the sun and an Olympic break. I thought it was on today. Was it yesterday? During the Canada-USA hockey? ksdjfldjflkdjfl;sdk. I've missed it all? I'm so frustrated. I'm going to go check.

Erika - I was confusing about Jeff. I know he's going to write his own description so to speak - I was just curious where his indecision was coming from. Which is really personal - I'm just way too curious.

YEs Amiee - thanks for the support Kelly - way too curious.

 

[lisaviolet]

Hi Everyone!
So again I think the interview today went well

 

[lisaviolet]

Women's still - whew.

Men - of course we got fourth. Of course. We have SO MANY fourths. What happened in his crash/fall?

I can't believe I missed it - the one new sport I was set for - serves me right for not double checking the schedule. And actually going out and having a life.

I hated losing the gold in Snowboard men's cross but what a rush - what a finish in that one. But women's snowboard - yeah baby!

Erika - Riley snowboards or skis - both?

 

[3DisneyKids]

Will report back shortly--you all have had a busy day!


CONGRATS to the losers! Kat, 21+ pounds in what? 7 weeks? AH-mazing! You know that I never see losses like that, so I am just in awe! You must feel SO good to be going back in the right direction.

And MEG! Just as awe-inspiring! 13 pounds in 4 weeks?!?! Crazy good. Goddess crown! It would be so great if you could swing a last minute trip down and do the Princess with us. You have fit in with us so well and so quickly.

Nancy--Too funny! Our 12-milers are about the exact same in time. GREAT job on getting it done! You are on the taper now, too right? I know that you go longer before tapering, but surely the 12 miler is your longest?

Ok, gotta start the bed time routine for the sproglets (just for you Kelly! And that is my absolute favorite British-ism!) and then I will finish posting.

Lisa, I saw your questions and will respond. Cause I love you like that.

Thank for the tip on the omlet,
I eat oatmeal for breakfast 2pnt. , but I also snack on Quaker Rice Chips Apple, 8 chips 1pnt.
I have WW String cheese 1pnt. I also have the WW 1pnt bars for my sweet.

I have tried the Firber One Bar for breakfast with water but It did not do it for me. I will try the Yogurt. Thanks for that tip.

Dinner tonight, Salad with Cucumbers, and 1 pnt cheese stick.
But I also had a large slice of Beer bread, left over from last night.

I am good on Points today 24.5 (I get 24) and I am not hungry.

Thanks again for tips

What Flavor of Yogurt?

Jo - I don't know a thing about the watches, but they look pretty! Five is rough. Is yours in kindergarten? Mine is. OMG. She would not stop talking in her yoga class today. It was maddening!

Kat and Meg - those are amazing and tremendous losses!!!

Nancy and Lisa - Awesome loss!

Me - last week I lost 2 lbs, this week .4. I am very happy with that. My goal is 5lbs a month, and since Jan I have lost 8.6.

Kelly - I'm so glad you all got to go out and laugh about the old job. That's a hard thing, but it sounds like you did it right. Fingers crossed for your interviews!

Lisa - Emily was cheering for Canada. She is obsessed with watching "the sports at the place Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop went" Vancouver, kid. Learn it, love it!

Ronda - I will send you my full name! Also, I LOVE the mileage goal. Mine is 450-500. Hmm. Thoughts? Should I go for 500?

Erika -sooo interesting on Jeff's job. Very complicated!

Amiee - I am impressed with your WW savvy! You are officially the New Liz.

Paula - JC?

My knee. Love PT. Did 20 planks, which is a total first. 20 GOOD ones! Lots of new exercises. Nice, happy, massage on my knee. It's getting better. I am cleared to do 3 miles tomorrow and 5 on Thursday, and 8 on Sat.

Nancy - Listen, my buddy, I am going to be slooooow. You can so run in circles around me! Also, I'd love a Carmel Apple Pie delivery!

 

[poppinspal]

Lisa- I enjoy the ski cross but in a way it's like speed skating... someone else takes a tumble and they could ruin your chances. I mean I understand that there are lots of sports that depend on the actions of others but... I don't know it just seems crazy that you could run a perfect run and have someone else take you out in a turn. I might be making no sense at all! I will probably need Olympic detox soon!

E- It makes me feel so good to hear you say I've fit in. If it wouldn't cost me so much to do at the last minute I'd be down in a heartbeat! Believe me I'll be with you in spirit the whole time.

Liz- Way to go on the loss! And I'm glad PT is going well!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Meg - I totally agree with E. And I can't wait to do a race with you! Let's pick one!!! E can come to the Boston area!!! Nancy? You in, too? Find us a fun one, Meg!!! Like a beer race.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi all
Love reading about all the losses, the mileage and the good choices. Very exciting stuff!

I am reporting a 2.6 loss for this week so I can officially reclaim my signature banner!!!!! Those pesky five pounds are gone! Bye bye - have a nice trip and don't come back thank you.

Work out w/ Jesse was awesome tonight. Felt really strong again - love that!

Lisa - sorry you won't be at the princess....

Off to get my veggies ready for the week... Catch up with you all later.

12 was the longest on my schedule, but it was supposed to be the week before the 1/2 (so, NEXT Monday), but as we know, I was on the wrong week. So, I have a bit of play in my next week of training. I don't know yet what I'll do for a long run next week, but I expect it will be a bit more moderate!

Me - last week I lost 2 lbs, this week .4. I am very happy with that. My goal is 5lbs a month, and since Jan I have lost 8.6.

Great loss Liz!

Paula - JC?

you beat me to it!

Nancy - Listen, my buddy, I am going to be slooooow. You can so run in circles around me! Also, I'd love a Carmel Apple Pie delivery!

If only we could have one waiting at the finish line

Lisa- I enjoy the ski cross but in a way it's like speed skating... someone else takes a tumble and they could ruin your chances. I mean I understand that there are lots of sports that depend on the actions of others but... I don't know it just seems crazy that you could run a perfect run and have someone else take you out in a turn. I might be making no sense at all! I will probably need Olympic detox soon!

I totally get that. Like you train and train and some loose cannon wipes you out. That would really suck.

Meg - I totally agree with E. And I can't wait to do a race with you! Let's pick one!!! E can come to the Boston area!!! Nancy? You in, too? Find us a fun one, Meg!!! Like a beer race.

I love to!

YAY! Feels great, doesn't it!


So today Erin told me that I was a coaches nightmare She wasn't exactly thrilled with my pizza & pie Saturday, wine & chinese food Sunday (bad fueling choices!) and my failure to ice my hamstring. Guess I don't take directions well

 

[poppinspal]

Liz- You guys have made me feel welcome, I hope you know how amazing you all are. Yes, we definitely need to do a race! A beer run, sounds so good to me! As long as you guys don't laugh at my need to wear braids and color coordinated clothes when running races.

Nancy- I'm glad I was making sense to someone!


So I'm heading to bed. I'm feeling very burnt out these days... its been a long winter and it can be very tiring to be in charge of room with 13 toddlers, five days a week. My friends keep trying to convince me to take a day off to do nothing but I know I'd spend it on homework and chores which isn't very relaxing either. I may ask for a day off soon and make a day trip to the Maine cost with my parents. Any suggestions for recharging yourself?

Ok off to bed now. Night ladies!

 

[adsrtw]

Jo - either Key Lime or Vanilla for me. But really, I enjoy many flavors except the yucky watermelon kind.

Liz - Thanks for the compliment. Might as well go head first, right?

 

[lisaviolet]

Kat!

See you on Thursday. And I have your silver all shiny and bright for ya.

 

[lisaviolet]

Megan - you too.

 

[lisaviolet]

Gold Baby! They showed pictures of them at 7 and 9. So adorable. They've been skating together since then!!!!

That's so cute about Emily. What a smart little girl.

 

[lisaviolet]

Megan and Nancy - yes that's what Jean and I say about so many winter sports. How can you train and train and it can be over in an instant. I find it very strange that I adore the knockout sports. Very strange. I also love short track. I spent an entire year saying in an Eastern European accent to Jean, "RED DEE!"
