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

[lisaviolet]

The closing ceremonies were horrid. HORRID. They tried a joke about the outside world seeing us a moose and beavers and mounties. The joke didn't work. I was hoping for Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers andDan Akroyd to appear but nope. And NBC cut off just as Nickelback, Simple Plan, Hedley, Alanis, Avril Lavigne etc played. I think NBC is playing that at 11:35. Loved Neil Young though.

Thank God for the opening ceremonies.

The hockey almost killed me. Oh Lord. Sighing.

My favourite gold. Jon Montgomery (skeleton) hand's down. It came late at night. And he was so happy and free!

Yes Kat and Megan I agree they are so cute. Been together since they were children. They said there were years where they skated and never talked.

 

[lisaviolet]

Megan - hope you're feeling a lot better tomorrow.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

So excited. Off for my final long run before the 1/2!!!!

Good Morning ALL!!!

Crazy busy weekend, and going to be a crazy day at work.

All my WW Point went out the window this weekend, with wine, beer and shots!!! Buffalo shrimp, beer bread, and the hangover. Who knew they made so many toys!

But I had fun!! And for the record I did 4 yes that is the number 4 miles on Saturday in 60 mins OUTSIDE!!! I was trying for 5 but I just ran out of energy. So I had to have DH come pick me up. I ran 2 miles . then walked the rest.

E, glad your basement got cleaned up quick.

Kat, way to go on the hangover run!! I could not do it, After the 4 miles on Sat, and the drinking Sat night, I could not do much yesterday.


Lisa, Mens GOLD Hockey Congrats to you!!!!


Rhonda, Sorry about your computer

Nancy, Sorry your life is getting crazy, but think just a few more days your on vaca


Kelly, any work on a job, hope all is well

Meg, Mens Bobsled??? Ok I really think your weather needs to get warmer to get you outside. WAY to much TV Time HA HA HA HA!!!!

EE, Liz, Hope you had a good weekend!

 

[HockeyKat]

Weighed in, and down 3.2 (even w/ mexican food and beer)! That puts me at 193.4 for my final pre-WDW weighin, from 217.8 on Jan 3rd. I was hoping for a 20 lb loss but not really thinking I would get there, so I am happy!

I still haven't packed or even got out the spring/summer stuff to see what fits, so wish me luck.


Nancy, enjoy your run!

Jo, sweating the hangover off usually makes me feel better. 4 miles is a great accomplishment!! Mmmm beer bread and buffalo wings.


Kelly, check in when you can.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Great loss Kat!! I hope none of your cloths fit, you just have to go buy SMALLER new ones!!!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Great loss Kat!! I hope none of your cloths fit, you just have to go buy SMALLER new ones!!!!!

Sadly, I have tons of clothes in smaller sizes! However, it's even better, shopping in your own closet takes a lot let $$!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Just back from my run. I did a litte more than I had initially intended, but I was totally rockin' out to my music and it just kinda happened. The best part is, after I finished 7.5 miles I felt like I could do it all over again. I think that must mean I'm ready.

Ooops! Somebody had some fun! Nice job on the 4 miles!

Weighed in, and down 3.2 (even w/ mexican food and beer)!

Awesome loss Kat!

I've been maintaining. I'm good with that for now. I can only focus on so many things at once and with everything that is going on in my life right now, something had to give. I've been eating healthy, and just trying to be aware of what I'm eating and why. Once the play is finished I'll be able to give my full attention to all things food.

I can't even tell you how much I loved reading this paragraph. It's like spring was jumping right off the page!

Yeah Ka!

I was just thinking about you yesterday thinking this weight off must be felt on the ice, eh? In the flow of your skate? Yes?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Heys guys

Im still here, still reading along, hiding out for a while.
I am so excited for the princess, as much as I would be if I were going! I can't wait for updates, pictures, stories, and most of all to hear how much you all ROCKED IT!!!

Still job hunting, slowly but surely! But, I am so bored being at home all day!

Im just watching Glee, man alive I love this program! Tonights episode is very good!

Hope everyone is having a good day

 

[adsrtw]

Hey everybody. Hanging out at the student center waiting for class to start. I finished packing yesterday! Yay! One more sleep and one dreadful work left before I leave. I can't wait.

 

[HockeyKat]

Yeah Ka!

Yes, it makes a huge difference. So does all of the endurance training, actually. I feel so much less winded.

It makes me wonder sometimes what running will be like when the rest of it is gone (yikes, did I just type that?). Like, will training with the extra weight make it easier later? Almost like training with weight belts and such?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Hi Kelly! Hope the right job comes your way soon Love Glee! Glad you are enjoying it!

EE - one more sleep. So exciting!

Kat - I think you just committed to another race.

I feel like I haven't been around in ages, really it's been only a day or two. I had a fever for the past few days but I'm getting better. I do have to catch up on reading. While I was sick I got to sit on the couch and just soak up all the Olympics I could which was the only positive thing. So a few Olympic thoughts to share while I watch the closing ceremonies...

I loved the Canadian ice dancing pair, their performance at the Gala was great. (Well everyone skated great but those two were so cute.)

I ended up getting sucked into curling, I couldn't resist. Granted I got sucked into every sport that was on this weekend!

I am a little sad about the games ending, I really enjoy watching and hearing all the stories. Plus I like picking athletes to root for in all sports.

And my big Olympic confession is I've developed a major crush on one of the athletes! haha I watched all the four man bobsled coverage and I fell in love with Steve Holcomb, the driver of the US bobsled. He's not the most in shape athlete at the games but every interview I saw with him made me like him even more. I think I need some help!

Nah - he is a bit of a cutie in that roly poly sort of way. Something tells me that this guy is in awesome shape. Just the kind of shape that a bobsledder needs.

Meg - glad you are feeling better. I totally got sucked into the Olympics and am officially in withdrawl now. Lisa - I think I have all the words to Oh Canada down now. It is an awesome national anthem.

The closing ceremonies were horrid. HORRID. They tried a joke about the outside world seeing us a moose and beavers and mounties. The joke didn't work. I was hoping for Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers andDan Akroyd to appear but nope. And NBC cut off just as Nickelback, Simple Plan, Hedley, Alanis, Avril Lavigne etc played. I think NBC is playing that at 11:35. Loved Neil Young though.

Thank God for the opening ceremonies.

Lisa - I am so with you on this. I was actually screaming at the TV when they cut away. I still can't believe that NBC pulled away from the closing ceremonies for a stupind Jerry Seinfeld show. What a letdown. No wrap up, no look back, no nothing. It is the infamous Heidi cut in all over again. Argh...

Yeah Kat!!!! I am so happy for you. Shopping in your closet will be fun since you will be looking in the smaller size section of your 'store'.

Not much to report on here. Trying to get stuff at work wrapped up before I leave on Thursday. I am doing the last of the laundry now - yuck!

Made it to JC tonight - gained 2.1 pounds thanks to the mindless eating that happened on Friday night and pretty much all day Sunday. Liz - your booty call with movie theater popcorn called... please take him back, I beg you! The crappy eating combined with the lighter workout schedule totally bit me in the bummocks this week. Ugh! Guess I need to make it up by walking 13.1 miles this weekend. Oh yeah - I am going to do that aren't I?

Hi to everyone! Sounds like this weekend got the better of most of us (Nancy - my angry eyes can be loaned out if you need them for the drama queens. Just sayin')

Kelly - glad you checked in. I have been thinking of you lately and your job hunt. If only I had some connections on your side of the pond.

Have a great night everyone! I am off to fold more laundry - yeah!

 

[adsrtw]

I was useless in class tonight, lol. Oh well. My professor is a riot and we were discussing the defeat of the Spanish Armada and the French Revolution (I'm a Euro history buff). Oh my gosh, I hope I can sleep tonight.

 

[poppinspal]

Nah - he is a bit of a cutie in that roly poly sort of way. Something tells me that this guy is in awesome shape. Just the kind of shape that a bobsledder needs.

I also read a few articles on him and he's into computers, video games and electronics and he made a star trek reference in one article. This made me swoon. He appeals to both the geek in me and the sports fan. Oh and did I mention he tries to respond to every letter(or email) he gets. I need an intervention. (Or a real life boyfriend! ) I'm also having Olympics withdrawals, I really do love them.

Kelly- I'm so glad you popped in! I hope something works out for you soon, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. I love Glee, the second half of the season starts up here in a month, I can't wait!

Kat- Awesome job on the loss!

I'm excited for all you Princess runners. I woke up today thinking about how close it was, I know you'll all kick butt!

So I'm up .5 pounds from last week. Truthfully (not to give TMI) I'm hoping it's because its that time of the month. I definitely feel super bloated so I'm trying to take it in stride. It's as easily lost as it was gained.

I also don't know if its from watching all the Olympics or that I'm starting to feel more like my old fearless self but I'm itching to commit to a marathon. Which is only a big deal because I won't run my first half till June! The furthest I've run before is 10 miles. I'm knocking down all these hurdles in my life and I feel like if I committed to a marathon for next spring it'd be my next big challenge. And you are the only ones I could share these feelings with at the moment.

Phew, sorry I guess I had a lot to say tonight.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi gang. I haven't been on in days. I will try to catch up tomorrow!

Paula - omg, me, too. Up 2.8. I sort of ate a lot of Whole Wheat Ritz. Stress food! But whatever. At least I weighed in. Right? You, too. And MTP. Maybe we can dump him together, this weekend!

Meg, I bought the Lightening Thief for the plane!

Lisa, I am having a super emotional day. So wish you were coming to meet us. I truly do. Just wanted you to kmow that you'll be missed!

Kelly - I adore Glee. Squee!

Kat - totally awesome!!!

Ok, going to catch up soon!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

my personal freak out has officially begun.
