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

[AKASnowWhite]

So I belt my pants on and pray I don't look like any idiot.

that struck me as so damn funny this morning!

Hope your baby toe is feeling better

Oh and the comments about wearing clothes for my current size... I would if I owned any! When I started this weight loss adventure I was a size 10, now my one pair of size 8 jeans are even too big. I could stop being cheap and buy a few things but I don't want to buy anything till I'm done loosing weight. So I belt my pants on and pray I don't look like any idiot. Maybe this is why I have a hard time realizing that I really am smaller then I was two months ago!

Rough night at hockey... took a puck to the back of the leg and my pinky toe. Will have a bruise on the back of my leg but it doesn't hurt, my toe is killing! So glad that tomorrow is Friday!

Meg - I used to be the same way and soon found myself wearing clothes that looked ridiculous on me. Do yourself a favor and go buy a few things that fit. Don't go crazy and replace everything, but you will feel fabulous in clothes that fit! Plus people will notice all of your hard work because they will actually be able to see the fabulously smaller you. Talk about a confidence booster. Hit the clearance racks - this way you aren't breaking the bank. It is hard since the clothes are temporary but the affect on your self esteem is priceless - truly.

Happy shopping!

Meg, just get one or two pairs of pant. Old Navy Always has a sale!

Lisa, sorry your sick, and you had to deal with sh!tty clients.

EE, hope your having fun

Paula, Sorry you have a meeting on sunday, I hope you have fun on Saturday

Liz, Kelly, Sunny, Cathie, Nancy, E, HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!


OK, so for now I am over my emotional outburst. But I have not had a run in forever. They only thing I did this week was 15 mins on the elliptical on Wednesday,and it was hard. I think I keep avoiding the Treadmill cuz I know the runs going to be hard beacuse its been so long. My plan today is just to get on it and do 1 mile and take it from there , and do 2 miles tomorrow and so on. My First EVER 5K is in 8 days!!!!

Having a ball! Need to save my battery for pics. Update after BMG!

 

[HockeyKat]

Yeah Kat - how IS choral group going?

It's going great! The director was right, I really am a 1st soprano. High notes have become easy (except the high C, that's still hard). I like the group, although it's rather large and I occasionally feel lost.

Our concert is on April 17th. Then I believe we have another one in June sometime, with the NC Symphony.

Rough night at hockey... took a puck to the back of the leg and my pinky toe. Will have a bruise on the back of my leg but it doesn't hurt, my toe is killing! So glad that tomorrow is Friday!

I had a rough night last night at hockey too... went back to the co-ed Thursday night group. 45 min skills class then 75 min pickup. Somewhere in there I acquired a large bruise on my upper right arm?


I agree with the rest, hit the clearance racks at Target or Old Navy and pick up a few pairs of pants. I like Ross and TJ Maxx/Marshall's for that, too.


Nancy, hope you feel better soon!

Paula, have a great weekend, busy as it is!

Jo, when is your 5K again? I am considering doing one on April 10th.

April 3rd.
After almost 2 weeks off, I hope I can get back on track this week for the race

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Sick of sitting at my desk and the boss is out of town so I went for a walk
I did a quick mile right by the office, the first 1/2 I walked and the 2nd half I ran so a 14min mile. Its been 11 days and it felt good to be outside. I could of done 2 for sure, but I had to get back to my desk and I did not want to get stinky!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi Everyone!

I am so behind, so much to catch up on!

Tonight though is ME time - DH is out, Ive got a Curly Wurly chocolate bar and Im watching New Moon on DVD

Catch up later!

 

[poppinspal]

Thanks for all the advice about the clothes ladies! I am wearing pants today that are only one size too big and even that made me more confident. I'm going to probably buy a few pairs of pants at least to wear on weekends and on dates. The kids at work don't notice my pants are big! Last night I wore my warm up pants I used to wear in hs and even that gave me confidence. So first chance I get it's off to the outlets or tj maxx.

I just signed up for a 5 mile race that happens to be the weekend that my long run is scheduled for 5 miles. It was too perfect not to sign up.

Running off to the movies, hope you are all having a terrific Friday!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hi! I have returned to the land of the productive, so I haven't been on all day. But at least I got a ton done. And now I have 7 kids at my house for the night. Oh the joy! Seriously, I love these kids. Riley's pack of friends that have been pals since literally age 2. So they are all just like my kids. And super well behaved and respectful, so it is a pleasure to have them here. But feeding them is a full time job! 10 year old boys EAT non-freaking-stop.

Nancy--you totally knew that Lisa did Disney travel stuff. Totally. You just spaced it.

And YES, I did take pics of Nancy at Jellyrolls. And while I threatened to post them to her FB page for her kids to see, I was nice. No video! But there are pics that I will get around to posting eventually. I hope to have my next installment of the TR up tonight. After all, I will be up till the wee hours with this sleep-over going on.

Meg--another vote for just buying one or two cheap pairs of pants from Old Navy or somewhere similar. I hear you on the not wanting to spend the money, but seriously, it will be GREAT motivation and will really help you to get the last few pounds off.

Kelly--hope you can come up for air and play soon!

EE--hope the trip is going well!

Jo--woo hoo! One week till the 5k! You'll be fine. You're a goddess remember!

Ok, back to the boys.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

YES! Some inexpensive, "low committment" clothes that are on-sale to get you thru.

My First EVER 5K is in 8 days!!!!

WOOT!

Our concert is on April 17th. Then I believe we have another one in June sometime, with the NC Symphony.

FUN! Do you need a costume? Shall I get busy?

And yes, I am feeling better thanks. Might be due to the wine I'm rapidly consuming, but whatever. I'll take it for now. Tomorrow, well, I'll pay. I have boot camp with the evil one who already told me she doesn't care if I'm sick

Tonight though is ME time - DH is out, Ive got a Curly Wurly chocolate bar and Im watching New Moon on DVD

You have a WHAT now? gads. gonna have to google that one.

Nancy--you totally knew that Lisa did Disney travel stuff. Totally. You just spaced it.

if you say so. Seriously. I have no recollection of that.

And YES, I did take pics of Nancy at Jellyrolls. And while I threatened to post them to her FB page for her kids to see, I was nice. No video! But there are pics that I will get around to posting eventually. I hope to have my next installment of the TR up tonight. After all, I will be up till the wee hours with this sleep-over going on.

PICTURES? oh NO! I was so tired I was giddy. After every song I'd say "I'm tired. I need to head out soon" and then they'd start playing again. And love it or hate it (they played a LOT of songs that oddly I hate, but know practically every word to ) I would sing. Loud and off key ah, my daughter would be horrified. Absolutely horrified. (which of course is what I strive for )

 

[AKASnowWhite]

ok. the Curly Wurly. You KNOW that I googled it. Had to. Read some chocolate-tasters blog. This comment totally stood out :

Your mouth certainly gets a work-out with this sucker

and, with that, I will say not another word on the subject.

Hi Everyone!

I am so behind, so much to catch up on!

Catch up later!

OMG. Drat you! Curly Wurly. My favourite. Although it was called a Wig Wag here then disappeared. And was larger - of course - it is North America!!!

We can still find Curly Wurly here and there.

I've missed you.

I love them.

Yeah TR coming.

Now I must pop back to my TR. I threatened them and then took off. Come on over Kelly!

There are some fun girls on there. I'm biting my tongue not to say - "by the way do you have any weight issues?"

I want to recruit them.

Boy a TR thread is like a PT job man.......

 

[lisaviolet]

Kat - loved the update. So jealous. SO SO jealous.....



Where is swan neck tiny waist anyway? Where is she at?

Good MORNING Dis Thread (in my best Robin Williams "Vietnam" voice ).

Oh boy did I sleep last night. Lots. And I've awoken to a bright, sunny morning here in New England. Chilly, but beautiful! I'm feeling *different* in that the congestion has left my chest and taken up residence in my throat. (can you say hairball? ). I have boot camp in a little while, and will somehow muddle thru.

Anyone have any big plans for the weekend? I know Paula is straight out, and E has a family dinner to host - but anyone have anything FUN?
