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

Kat! Happy - oh so happy - Anniversary!

Mr Kat doesn't really get on my case for doing it, but he makes it clear he thinks I am nuts.

?

Whew. I had a bone to pick with Mr. Kat

I forgot to tell you the books I have
I have Marathoning for Mortals
and Women Food and God,
Lisa, I have not read the book at all in the past month, I NEED to get on that.

Is it a hard read? Like weird to you? I finished it in the bookstore that week you were telling me about it. I'm very curious to see if it seems "out there" to you.

Lisa - I think it is great that you are going to WDW for Christmas. Gotta do what is right for you sometimes!

Megan - so sorry for your guy woes.

Jo - sorry for the sugar cravings. Been there, done that. I quit sugar cold turkey for 2 weeks and it made a world of difference.

Everybody else! Hello and will be back later! Gotta catch up a few other places.

Cold turkey. Congrats to you Amiee. I bet it made the world of difference.

I couldn't do it.

Kat- Sorry I didn't want to respond to your comment on my facebook status only because not all of my response I need to share with the world. Today was a beautiful day finally, I can feel summer in the air. I paid the $590 it's costing me for a flight and a hotel for 5 days in San Francisco with my best friend in August. (How is that all a flight cross country and hotel cost, that's a whole lot less then I expected!) AND.....I fit into a size 2 at American Eagle. (I know I'm clearly not a 2 in every brand but the fact that I am in one brand and a brand I couldn't wear at my heaviest is just amazing.) So that's a hugely long answer to why life is so good today. It's just the little things.

Hard to believe I got dumped on Monday, things are just feeling good right now. I am having one of those days where my confidence is getting a boost. Love that feeling.

Off to bed with me but I have comments galore tomorrow. Oh and... it's almost Friday!

What a wonderful post!

Happy

Well why do I always screw up your posts?

Happy!

I had more to say. I vote yes you needed the spoonful.

Thanks Jo! It's going to get ugly today.

Did it pass Amiee?

It's a holiday weekend here. Victoria Day. You know after those people you ran out of your country.

Get this - we call it May two four weekend (24th). Why? BEER ( a case for those non- beer people)

The Friendship boat just pulled up on my BW live feed - I'm not watching but I just heard it. The boat I prefer to call the Molasses boat.

Last night I heard Illuminations from the TV room - but I didn't run to see - too busy being traumatized by Grey's.

Hi guys!

I've been looking for a community like this for a long time. I've struggled with my weight all my life. Recently, I got into running and I ran a 5K! It was the most amazing moment of my life, crossing the finish line! But, the trainer at the gym that I was at encouraged me not to train for a 10K, but instead to work more on my weight loss. So, now instead of distance, I work for speed on running to provide more cardio. Anyway, long story short, I reached a really big goal this year, running that 5K without stopping. But now I'm back trying to get to the goal I've wanted all along - to be in the 150s.
So, I'm here! And I've got a workout plan and by the time I go back to school in September I hope to be in better shape.
Here's a bit about me:
My name is Stacey.
Age: 19 (20 in 10 days!)
Height: 5'8'
Weight: I keep a ticker in my signature, but currently in the 170s
Personal Stats:
Been with my lovely boyfriend for 3 years now.
Living in New York City, going to school at BU
Favorite Park: Epcot
But I Love: The animals at Animal Kingdom (secretly want to be a Vet )
Passions: Music, Theater, Sketching, Dreams ( I know it is corny)
Important to know: Disney inspired me to reach my goals. It is my dream to work there one day to make others' dreams come true. And it is all thanks to my DBF Edward who took me there for the first time. Also important to know that I haven't worn a bathing suit in a VERY long time. I hope to change that this summer or next.
Weight loss plan and goals: I'm following a Bridal Bootcamp plan - no I'm not getting married ANYTIME soon, just found it worked like a charm for my sister and so I'm following it as well. It is strength training four times a week and cardio twice a week, though I'm adding another day of cardio to one of the days of strength training. I've been pretty good about my diet, my weakness is chocolate, so I've limited myself to one chocolate something each week. So far, it has worked really well. I just started two weeks ago and I've lost 3 pounds! So, now I'm here to keep on going to lose the next 10 or 20!

Thanks guys! Hope to have so much fun talking to you!

Hello and welcome Stacey.

Storms are over for the most part. Clipped part of the area but missed us. Rain tonight and very humid and SUNNY tomorrow.

 

[poppinspal]

Too sleepy for a long post (allergy medicine is kicking in) but I wanted to say how much I enjoyed Robin Hood. (And only a little of that was to do with my love of Russell Crowe.) It's along the lines of a movie like Braveheart. Some action, some history and some romance. I always enjoy the movies Russell Crowe picks to be a part of.


I'll be back tomorrow with a report on my first morning of bootcamp!

welcome Stacy

Hi all, typing in the dark, just got home, had some wine. When to dinner with the wife's. (DH's friends Wives))

Why are women so judging?

I am in a bad place!
gotta get out of there,,,,

Hi Everyone!

Lisa - Good for you for going to WDW at Christmas, you will have a fabulous time

Kelly ( no one tell her if you know) - just let's say hmmm didn't LOVE Grey's but more than that it almost did me in emotionally. I was already struggling and it almost did me in.

The last episode here was episode 17 of 24, so long to go before the season finale!

Hi guys!

Welcome Stacey!

Kat - Happy Anniversary!

So the weather here today is glorious, so I decided to clean up in the house so I could have the rest of the day doing the garden.
Ive also got my bridesmaid shoes and I decided to wear them whilst hoovering so I could start to break them in - well, I caught a look at myself in the mirror and I looked like Freddie Mercury in the 'I want to break free' video (minus the moustache of course!)
Maybe wearing shorts, sun top and high heeled sandals isn't the best hoovering up outfit

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning from work! It is sunny today! I have a missing employee today and this is completely out of the norm. Can't talk about it on FB because I have a chosen few in the mix. I just hope she calls me. Oversleeping and calling is better than no call at all. Worried.

Update: she called and is on her way. She sounded very embarrassed.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Stacey! Welcome!

We have lots of support to offer here. And congrats on that 5k! Way to go! I know that is how I felt when I ran my first 5k. And Jo on this thread just did her first last month. So you are in the right place.

We have folks in your area, too. Liz is in NJ, close to NYC and Meg is in Boston. And I am north of Boston in Maine, though I guest lecture at BU every now and then. It's been a while, come to think of it...

So, what are you doing for an eating plan? And specific program like Weight Watchers? In any case, glad to have you here! Post often--the rest of us do!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, now on to everything else.

Thanks for the DVC thoughts. And Lisa, yes, I have the same fantasty. Winning the lottery and gifting all of my friends with DVC points! And you know I always love the BWV feed! And did you know that there is an SSR feed, too? DTD view, so you can watch those boats. Love it all.

Yesterday - 6 miles. Word. And at a better pace than the day before, so that is all good. Today I have another 4 planned. That is 9, 6, and 4 in consecutive days. Have to make up for vacation, you know! And I have had two good days of tracking and eating along with the good runs.

Nancy--the frosting! Oh, I hear you on that one!

Kat--Happy Anniversary! Said it on FB but wanted to say it here, too. How was your dinner?

Liz--just say no to BACON! Ha! You have everyone craving it, you know.

Meg--awesome job on the new size! And I know what you mean--I have ONE pair of jeans that is a size 4, but there is no way I am a true size 4! I was there right after the Princess two months ago. But then I decided to sabotage the hell out of myself and regain everything I lost to get me to the 4. Idiot. Back on it now.

Kelly--I have just under one stone to lose! What's the plan?

Hey...do we need a challenge? We just might. Think about it.

Paula--REST this week-end. OMG, you need to. That'll get your workouts and eating back in line, I swear.

Me--long week-end of sports, which is fine. Keeps me out of the house and away from the fridge. And the weather here is gorgeous!

 

[adsrtw]

Did somebody say bacon? Veggie bacon rocks too.

I'm doing a 4 miler today too. I have the perfect course near the other university in town. Can't run it all, but can do about a 1/2 mile at a time.

Ready for work to be over.

 

[poppinspal]

Stacy- welcome! Erika is right, I am from the Boston area but I also went to BU! I also worked at BU for five years and now do part time stuff for the women's hockey team during the winter and have men's season tickets. I consider BU as much my home as my actual house! Youll definitely get great support from this group.

 

[adsrtw]

Totally enjoying the sun today. I swear it has hidden for a week. Work is over and I am munching at my new favorite restaurant. They have outside tables. Roly poly - tons of good tasting healthy options.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Back from softball. We won 14-7. And I can say "we" since I am coaching this year, which the girls are thrilled about! OMG, so nice. I know the days is coming when they won't want anything to do with me, so it is nice that they want me involved now. Cammie had a great play where she stole home, so that was fun to watch.

Kelly is sick--too early to tell if it is serious or not. (She has a chronic condition and is in and out of the hospital a lot.)

Tomorrow--soccer, soccer, and more soccer. All three kids.

So far, today is good with eating and with exercise, so I am hoping that will last. Going to a party at one of my close friend's tonight, so... An my mom just made me promise to start going to her pilates class with her. I have never done pilates, believe it or not. I favor high impact, high cardio, and boot camp type of classes. But my mom says that this is an awesome class and I am always up for something new. So next week I will add some pilates into the mix. Look for my report on that.

Ok, gotta get some weeding done in the yard. It's not exercise, but at least I'm moving.

 

[adsrtw]

Congrats to the team and coach!

I'm trying to become a soccer mom E. My kids just wont budge. Baseball and football for Ryan and sub in cheerleading for Taylor (gasp!).

 

[HockeyKat]

EE, if you want sun/hot weather, you are welcome to come mow my lawn anytime!!

E, hope Kel gets better soon. I was prepared to hate Pilates and loved it, fwiw.



Welcome, Stacey!!!

 

[adsrtw]

As long as you don't have those ugly huge wolf spiders, I will hop a plane and mow you lawn in exchange for sun anytime.
