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

[lisaviolet]

She would not stop talking in her yoga class today. It was maddening!



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.

!

Wow, I wonder where she got that trait.

Fantastic Liz on the loss.

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!

That is such wonderful news Paula. Sighing with a smile. See.

And I left in the second comment about your workout because it is equally lovely.

 

[lisaviolet]

And MEG! Just as awe-inspiring! 13 pounds in 4 weeks?!?! Crazy good. Goddess crown!

Outstanding Meg.

 

[lisaviolet]

Me - I have been emotionally eating for four days now but you all are very inspiring. I just have to remember that it's not the binging of my youth and this too shall pass.

OMG, more great losses! We amaze me!

Morning Ladies!!!

up early to get in some treadmill time.

Liz, DD is in preschool still, late Bday. UGG 5 and thinks she 15 UGG UGG!

Meg, I know working with little ones all day can make you nuts. But last year DD had a preschool teacher that was so very amazing. And She still talks about her till this day. There was drama at the school so she left the school, She knew that what she did with the kids, 3 & 4 year olds, was going to shape their future, She knew how to teach them how to learn.
I can tell that you seem to be that type of teacher. So when you are burnt out just know, all your hard work IS PAYING OFF for the kids. I know as a mom I so truly appreciate her.
( the teacher this year, so not passionate about what she does and it shows)

Lisa, sorry you missed Ski Cross.
I did not watch last night, need to detox from it for a bit also

GOOD MORNING TEAM GODDESS (she says in her best Robbin Williams voice )


Day 1 of the 4 that the weatherman says we'll have snow. Can you sense my excitement.

When Becca was little we used to say that she had all the character traits that would help her later in life IF we channelled them in the right direction as she grew. OMG the girl was born 30 I swear Stubborn, independent, knew it all, exceedingly verbal. <sigh> She was our challenge. Definitely. I still say that if she was our first she would have been our only. No doubt. But hold strong, your efforts will pay off in the long run.




Time to hit the gym for some upper body work (where is the weight lifting smiley. We totally need that one.)

Thanks for that, so I have my fat but on the treadmill 5:20 am, MP3 in my ear. and who do I see come down the stairs at 5:27 am, Yes my girls, so they started to play with their toy, for a few, but then I hear over my MP3, mommy can you find this, mommy can you fix this, mommy mommy mommy!
I did manage to do 2 miles in 27 mins. I love my girl. But I just wish they would sleep a little later.

And last night I also did 30 min on the elliptical

We gave our kids digital clocks when they were toddlers. I made a "7" on a little piece of poster board and put it by their clock. The rules were it didn't matter if they were awake, they were not allowed out of their rooms (except for potty breaks!) until the first number on their clock was "7". Worked like a charm for us (after the obligitory "kids testing our resolve" period)

70 minutes in and 20 to go. All non-impact. Protecting my quad. First hour was on the elliptical at 90per cent max. Now on the bike cruising at 17 mph. Sweating like a dog. Omg.

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! I just reserved my rental for the half!

 

[HockeyKat]

Hey Lisa? Arrogance is the first step to downfall. Just sayin'.

I have so much more to comment on but no time. Congrats to all of the losers!!

One day I hope to do 60 mins on the elliptical!

Lisa- I am dreaming of both our men and women hockey teams winning gold. I'm not sure we've had a men's team actually show this much desire. I feel like usually they go out and its like a joke so my heart is set on winning this year. (Most years it's not)

Jo- Thank you, I do like to think I'm making a difference in the kid's lives at least. I'm sort of in that situation... there's a lot of drama at work but I keep telling myself I'm there for the kids, not the people I work with/for. Some days its easier to remember then others.

Nancy- We're supposed to have snow here today, in fact my babysitting gig for tonight was canceled because of it. So far... nothing.

I'm going to do some weight work tonight. Then the group of guys I play hockey with also play on Tuesday nights. They didn't have room for me to play on Tuesdays but they need some skaters tonight so I'm getting an extra night of hockey this week! Yay for unexpected hockey! Though tomorrow I might be a little achey, oh well!

 

[lisaviolet]

Ski cross - women today!

Gold baby!

So ski and snowboard cross women - both gold.

Snowboard men - silver because of that gosh darn American.

Oh Ms. Kat. You know it's a thrill for me to be called arrogant. A first. Bring out the Buble - it's a new dawn, it's a new day......

And PS. I channeled Liz today and smiled because I tell you those Canadian ski cross outfits. I know nothing about fashion but holy hideous. Bad.

I'm not really a huge hockey person Meg - but spent a lot of my youth in a rink eating sponge toffee. But I'll tell you those last few minutes on goal were something. You could feel the electricity.

And yeah for an unexpected skate!

Got new yoga pants at Old Navy today. Size small. Word.

 

[poppinspal]

Lisa- Have you seen the Canadian Speed Skating outfits the women are rocking? There's something weird about them that makes even the skinniest woman look like she has thunder thighs! I love hockey but the US men's olympic team hasn't been able to keep my interest. I swear they just haven't cared. But that game was amazing on both sides and made me want to watch again.

E-Yay for new pants and double yay for small!!

So... my brother and I both wanted to use our workout space before we left for hockey but there wasn't time for two of us to do separate workouts. Somehow the challenge was made for me to do his workout. Well he works out a few times a day and his workouts are obviously harder but it was a challenge and I could at least try. We did legs and abs. Legs, I feel like I just ran a marathon. I think I should be fine with skating, stairs might be a challenge! (Oops I forgot I'll have to hop the boards at hockey...that might be a challenge too!) Abs, we did the P90x ab ripper.... just thinking about it makes me ache. The exercises don't look hard but when you try them they are really a challenge. I'll be doing it all again because now I want to prove I can keep doing it and get better (and I want my strong abs back!) but next time not two hours before hockey!

I didn't care for them either.

I almost forgot to tell you Lisa! I was in the midst of my 12 miles on the TM (which should mean TORTUREmill ) at the gym yesterday and the Today show was on one of the tv's. They were talking to a chef who was making poutine He put all kinds of crap on it. Bacon, fried egg, smothered in that gravy stuff <bleh, bleh, bleh>. Sorry, just not feelin' the love for the poutine

I'll be doing it all again because now I want to prove I can keep doing it and get better (and I want my strong abs back!) but next time not two hours before hockey!

you, my friend, are insane! Can't wait to hear how you're feeling tomorrow.




Busy day for me today. I managed to finish my daughters wedding dress though! So, cross that off my list of things to do! Tomorrow, more gym, more sewing, and maybe, just maybe, a trip to Old Navy.

Quick update post-hockey. I'm feeling pretty good, not really sore yet. I want this on record so when I can't move tomorrow I can remember not aching.
