OMG - Jo now has a nickname, or well, a phrase! I love it. Inch worming to the finish line.

Nancy - Diet Cherry Limeade - diet sprite, low sugar cherry syrup, and limes (roughly). Sonic is America's drive in (car hops on rollerskates even, lol). Very refreshing on a muggy night.

Jo - Time for me to be serious. I have no doubt that you can finish. I barely finished and was ahead of the sweepers. Yes, I thought I was going to get pulled from the race. Had some really crazy swelling that the meds saw. I have never felt safer or more scared at the same time. I ran most of the way through the MK crying for so many reasons (I did not train to run at all). Mainly because I was in the MK in my first Half and thinking I wasn't going to finish with our team. I have complete faith in you.

EE,
THANK YOU, what you just said means more to me than you will ever know.
THANK YOU!!!!!

We have Steak N Shake AND Sonic. NOT the midwest, either.

Sonic has the best tots. Mid 200s for calories for a medium, too.

Jealous of the drunk posts. Why couldn't we be doing this 2 weeks ago when I could have played too?

 

[adsrtw]

Anytime Jo!

 

[adsrtw]

I have to admit, I do love their tots Kat!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

HI Kat, ummmm CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS!!!!

anyway, raleigh, how I love thee!!

I have never had sonic tot;s?

 

[poppinspal]

You ladies are seriously making me smile tonight.


I went to steak and shake once... I was in Ohio for the Frozen Four. (You know like the Final Four in college basketball only in hockey it's the Frozen Four.) We went the whole weekend we were in Ohio... at 3am... drunk. I will never forget it... well what I can remember of it.

We FINALLY got two Sonics up here and you can never get near them. The lines are so long they both have police details and they routinely have to close down the line to get in. Some day I WILL go. Every time I see an ad for one they're showing yet another thing I desperately want to try.

Jo- I'm loving you right now, I'm glad you're having some drinks tonight. Just don't forget to put some water near your bed for the morning. Trust me, I'm an expert.

Sigh I'm so jealous of all you girls drinking tonight. My plans with EVERYONE fell through tonight so I've spent my whole night working on things for the Art Show I have to put on at my school on Tuesday. What a pathetic Saturday night!

You guys are all soo lucky! (Under the legal drinking age haha)

I've got a major job letting me know on Monday and I'm going crazy. But, I must admit, reading these posts is making it SO much easier! You guys are HYSTERICAL!!

Are a lot of you running the Princess Half-Marathon?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Good Morning Everyone!

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.

Yes, I think we need a challenge! Im seriously slacking in losing this last 12lbs - no excuses over here, im just slacking off. So yes, a challenge would be great!

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.)

Hope Kelly is feeling better soon
I expected to hate my Pilates dvd but I really enjoyed it! (must start doing that dvd again)

Soooo fing drunk!!!! SOOOOOO drunk!!
SOrry I hav enot read any posts>

Jo you have made my morning!

geez. went to google Steak and shake ('cause that's just how I roll) and ended up playing the little pac man game. FAIL. Must be the fact that I don't have a joystick

OMG Nancy, you are my google twin! I did the exact same thing! 20 minutes playing pacman (badly) and by the time I finished I forgot what I was supposed to be googling

You guys are all soo lucky! (Under the legal drinking age haha)

You should move to the UK, the legal age is 18! (Although that is NOT always a good thing!)

Oh, I went to the cinema last week with the girls and we called into a bar for a quick drink on the way home - I got ID'd! Im nearly 29!! I almost hugged and kissed the guy who asked for ID but I restrained myself!
That was the first time ive been asked for ID in about 10 years! Ive always been tall so I think they just assumed I was old enough

Another lovely sunny day here, so I will be doing the garden again. Plus, my mum has my niece today (20 months old, shes hilarious!) so I'll spend the afternoon spraying her with the sprinkler! (She likes it, im not cruel! )

Have a great Sunday everyone

 

[poppinspal]

Morning ladies! I'm about to head out to do a little outlet shopping with my mom before we head to a family cookout.

Erika- I agree with Kelly, we need a challenge! I am 4 pounds from my original goal and 9 from my new one but I've been slacking with taking it off. I need the motivation to come back!

I hope Kelly starts feeling better soon. Sending lots of good thoughts her way.

Jo- Hope you feel ok when you wake up, your posts are still making me smile.

So I went to boot camp yesterday. It was hard but not in the way I'd been expecting. The cardio part was cake and the strength stuff was hard. I've been seriously slacking on my weight training lately. I will be going back as I think this is the little extra I need in my week.

I woke up this morning and my calf muscles are both a little tight and so are my arms. But my arms could be a combination of that and the fact that I planted most of my garden yesterday. (Which I will subject you guys to pictures of when I have finished.) But its the good kind of sore so I'll take it.

Ok I'm off to shop, I do so love the J Crew outlet. Have a wonderful Sunday ladies!

Oh, I'm so in! No excuses here either. I've just been up and down the same 2 pounds since the first of the year. They need to go away permanently, along with 5 of their friends!


Jo you have made my morning!

I'm STILL laughing at the inchworm.



OMG Nancy, you are my google twin! I did the exact same thing! 20 minutes playing pacman (badly) and by the time I finished I forgot what I was supposed to be googling

It was fun! But frustrating. Using arrow keys instead of a joystick was HARD. Oh, and had I mentioned that I'd been drinking?


Erika - hope Kel is doing better

Meg- have fun shopping!

Stacey - hi. Welcome. Ignore my drunkeness from last night

Jo - how yah feeling today?

Paula, EE, Kat, Lisa, Liz, Ronda...hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Are a lot of you running the Princess Half-Marathon?

Hope the job works out!

7 of us ran (well, some walked/ran) the 2010 Princess. We all met on this board, some of us in 2007 but more joined along the way, and all but one of us had met at least some of the others before.

I think plans are starting to be hatched for the 2011 version!


Jo, inchworm!!


Kelly, did I mention I love your location? I get "we all live in a yellow submarine" in my head sometimes. Goofiness, love it.


So, I went to the Galloway seminar yesterday morning. Wow. He is pretty amazing. He really makes you feel like you could walk out of there and start training for a full (not that I am, yet!). Lots of free good swag at the mini-expo, too.

Still not sure I am going to join a running group that starts at 7AM on a Sat morning (6:30 in July/Aug), but I am going to give it a try this Sat.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

HI All,
OMG, I don't feel good.

Off to clean up the mess in my kitchen from last night
still sad about the school trip
(Can't go to the jump place because the school does not want to sign the waiver.)

See you all later!!
Inchworm!!

Oh by the way, not work out today, if I did I would get sick for sure
HA HA HA HA

 

[adsrtw]

I really should be working on my research project, but I am messing around with vacation planning instead. Love this professor too.

 

[goofyfan-12]

I'm still lmao over "inch worming to the finish line".

OMG - Jo has lost it if she thinks inchworming across the finish line is a wish of hers. Too flipping funny!

E - yes, I did get some rest this weekend. After my awesome workout yesterday where I impressed Jesse withy weight lifting prowess (um, dude - you are the planner of all of this so why are you surprised that i can do bent over rows with 95 pounds on the bar?) I took off and spent the day at my patents' camp. It was heaven! Today was church followed Nya a quick shopping trip and a 18 mile bile ride. Now I am about to plop my self on the porch and write my Team in Training fundraising letter. All good things. And yes, my eating was much better this weekend. I brought food with me to camp since they didn't know I was coming and today has been really good. Just need to kick the sugar addiction and life will be good.

Loved reading the posts from last night.

Stacey - welcome to the crew. Don't be shy - jump in and post often. You won't be disappointed.

Jo - stop stressing about the 1/2. I finished just ahead of the sweepers and never ran a race before. Let's make a deal - for the next month just focus on your running and forget about the 1/2. You can't even register for it until July so why worry now? If you focus on the training, you will be able to do whatever race you want. Deal?

Challenge? Did someone say challenge? I could so use something to kick me in the bummocks right now.

btw - NY has this new law that requires the larger restaurants to post the calorie counts of their offerings. Did you know that a pretzel dog has 350 calories in it? Things that make you go hmmmm.

I'm running from place to place but I had to stop and tell you guys about my most embarrassing moment ever (that wasn't)!!!

Here's what happened:

Went to the gym - debated forever between eliptical vs. treadmill - decided to do strength training first and then decide. Normally I don't do strength training at the gym because it is too crowded, but today it was pretty empty (everyone home watching Lost I guess). Anyway, as I keep going, more and more people are coming in, and pretty soon I am surrounded by big buff men doing 5,000 push ups and I'm a little intimidated. Lucky for me, my workout is almost finished as I do my V-ups and then I'm done. For those who don't know what V-ups are, you lie on your back and literally lift both your upper and lower body up at the same time in an UP motion. Well, I guess that my body needed some kind of "release".... and I farted SOOO LOUD I figured the entire gym could hear me. I laid down COMPLETELY mortified! I sat with my hands over my face for a good minute before getting up and pretend to stretch while scoping out the damage.

BUT

As I looked around to see how many people were laughing at me, I noticed...


Everyone was wearing their headphones....

THANK GOODNESS!!

Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend and that I gave you a good laugh!

 

[poppinspal]

Haven't read a thing since this morning. Just wanted to share that I've been home since 7 and been working on stuff for work all night. Tuesday night is my schools big art show, three months of kids art work parents haven seen that all has to go up on the walls in a day. I've been matting art, putting together a movie and matting pictures of the kids for days and days now. I can not wait to have a drink after the show Tuesday.

Night all, if I go MIA for a few days you'll know I'm lost in toddler art!

 

[adsrtw]

We went from 60's and rainy to 92 today. Nothing like gradual!

I'm taking the kids to Holiday World next Sunday and had to try on my bathing suit. It doesn't fit. Nope, it's too loose.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

OMG, I don't feel good.

Perhaps a virus?

The older I get, the more I HATE hangovers. btw. Did you know that Erika can drink like a fish and never have a hangover? Seriously. If I didn't love her so much I'd have to hate her

E - yes, I did get some rest this weekend.

Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend Paula. Did you decide definitely yes or no for the Vermont Ride?

Everyone was wearing their headphones....

Thank God for headphones!

Awesome EE! That is not an issue I've been having lately. I'm seriously lacking focus. bah.



My weekend basically sucked. Yesterday I started with a 10:00 meeting before church, then another meeting immediately following. Two 4H meetings back to back (one of which is quickly becoming my worst nightmare- nominating committe <grrr>) then back to church for a youth group meeting where the parents had to fill out the paperwork for the upcoming Missions trip this summer. I literally had 9 hours straight. Then another 30 minute helacious phone call with a disgruntled 4Her who is being asked to consider a different job than she applied for. I'm toast.

Heading out for a bike ride this morning, hoping to clear my head.
