In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[DisneyWorld Delight]

SeptGirl - YAAAAAAAYYYYYY for you. (Clapping ala London Tipton!) The girls trip sounds like so much fun. And now you'll be rockin' the confidence.

DDawn, MBJ, is this story true? Did you lose a dipple on a slide at Blizzard Beach? I have NEVER heard of this. I am cringing thinking about it.

HK, it's harder to get ready for a trip, and when you get home there is so much to do, I usually wonder, why did I go?

Going to pick DH up from the airport today. He is home from working in Texas for the weekend. I am officially on Orange Alert. But on the flip side, I'm probably in for some quality lovin' Think he'll notice the 4lb loss? HMMMM? I'll let you know.

I had a heck of a day...coming down to the wire with a lot of personal and hard decesions and so much struggle in the heart. I am very financially concerned with this divorce and I need to just have faith and work really hard...but I am scared.

I lasted about 1/2 a day yesterday with the protein -a thon...had chinese for dinner and today...no food except a Boca Brat plain and then dinner...noodles and tomato soup...not too much...but add a Coke and I am going strait to the Big Guy downstairs.

MamaBear Jo...I get the emotional eating....you and I ate our way around Epcot last year...trying to trip the skinny biaches meanwhile! Does tripping people count as a form of excersize??? Hmmm...what would fit day give that for 20 minutes???

Speaking of Me and MaMaBears trip to the World last year...I have been waiting for her to tell a story...but she keeps waiting...so I will tell it!
******CLEAR AWAY ALL BEVERAGES NOW PLEASE****


So Me and Jodi...(AKA MaMaBearJo) went to the World on a girl's trip. That would be her 2 teenage beauties...Hanna and Sara, my daughter Carsyn and Hanna's friend Dana. Weight wise all the girls are approx 140-170ish...great shaped...athletic girls. Then there is us...Hubba and Bubba...I will never say which is who...and we think that Blizzard Beach sounds grand.

(For those who remember the Crush N Gusher Story...yeah...this is a pre-quel and it does not involve the same friend...)

Sooo....after freezing because it was raining that day....we did the Tobaggan Racers. Yeah...good idea...put a fat chick on a stamp sponge and see how fast she can fly!
So we smartly lined up...let others go in front so we can all slide together...and we waited for the go -ahead and I could hear the Olympic Medal calling. It may have been zinc...but it was calling out!

"YOOO HOOO....TUBBY TALLULAH....Don't ya want me...."

So I geared my sponge mat...I lifted the front for greater speed...I placed my piglets firmly on the ground for precesion take off...and

NADA!!!

I layed firmly where I started and my take off was that of Nicole Richie at a Buffet. day changed to night...Spring turned to Summer
...Bird's came and migrated...and me and Bubba....d@mn...you took it out of me...stayed still...listening to Hans and Frans the lifeguards flex...

So we...did what any upstanding, patriotic chubola, citizens would do...we lurched forward...did a death defying belly flop onto the water that would even carry Shamu to the sea...and finally...praise Jesus...started downhill.

For a moment...we looked good...svelt even..
okay not really but give me sumpin sumpin...
and the the hill became an evil Dictator who said we were badd baddd girls and must pay.

So...pay up at the pump we did...the teens...were already careening down the second hump...and we...we not only had a chance to come from behind...we beat them due to our behinds. In fact we did not just beat them...we went past them at the end...cause fat flies and does not stop nicely and gracefully mid finish line....

Ahhh Hel* no....we aint no stinkin quitters....we will finish this baby in style...even if this means eating the padded stoppers placed as decoy barricades at the end of the ride.

Now all that I can say about that...is I did finish with all my parts still attached...even the girls (my personal ones...as opposed to the girl I gave birth to) and their little buttons.

Jodi...was dryer than I was at the start of the ride...and as she skidded sideways into the finish post...and onto the wave pool below...she said...perhabs a better explanative would be screamed...

"I left my niPPl* back there!".

I wet myself till Tuesday...because she was literally holding her left breast...and it was not a BTW kinda scream...but more of an...
"I am in labor and want narcotics yell!"

So we went off to the First Aid station...and they said this happens all the time...and guess what...she got a faux tootie! A prostetic pidipple! I mean the thing is as real as the nose on your face and versitile!!! She can just pop that sucker on and off like a pair of sunglasses.

So...next time you are searching/stealing lost change at the bottom of slides at the Disney Water parks...look out for a missing appendage...we were horrible and left a soldier behind......

But...I hear there is a reward...MaMaBearJo's hubby is offering $500 for anyone with information leading to the capture and return of his ole Lucy...

"Picked a fine time to leave me Lucy...3 hungry kids and a man whose wife has only 1 nip...
I've had some bad times...
lived through some sad times...
but nothing like old, one-eye, patchy tit!" Please tell me someone else thinks this is funny cause...I am laughing my hind end off and my daughter...up studying for finals...thinks her mama is off the deep end.

I think this is hysterical! omg I laughed sooo hard. That was sooo funny!

Well the personal trainer paid off I lost 1.6 lbs!!! woohoo! Back to the daily grind today. Work... gym... probably Subway again... lol... then to Walmart. Then BED!! I was in bed by 9 last night... lol... Anywho off to work!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

 

[Dizneydawn]

I weighed in yesterday...and I did it! I made my goal of weighing less this Girls' Trip than the one two years ago - I did it by .2 lbs but still, I have a few weeks to go down more!

So this week's loss is 2.2 - down 30.2 lbs total since Oct 24th!

The next big goal is seeing those 190's on the scale...I might kiss it when the numbers come up!

I am newly enthused....all these success stories makes me wanna move my butt!

So sorry that I haven't been able to participate much... trying to tie off all loose ends at work this week so that I won't get called while at WDW next week so I haven't hit the boards too much other than quick scans. And tonight was last minute shopping and packing. All packed except for some random toiletries and a few things ready to come out of the dryer.

Yay for everyone doing so well!! I have been terrible but I will be so ready to recommit on Feb 4th.

Have a safe trip and a few smiles and laugh too...I hope this helps...

Hey All!

For starters I was right.... Subway again for dinner... this makes night 3..

I went to the gym tonight and met with the personal trainer... He worked me out hard... my legs are going to kill tomorrow. Of course I forgot my water so when I went to do my 30 minutes of cardio I only made it 15 before I felt like I was going to die.

But you did do more than me for 2 weeks so I am proud of you!! Good job on Subway...

I have such an eclectic mix of music on my playlist. Everything from Neil Diamond (Sweet Caroline) and Carly Simon (Your So Vain) to Fergie, Run DMC and the explicit version of Baby Got Back. Add in all the country, classic rock, alternative, blues, and the Spamalot Soundtrack...there definitely isn't one style that describes me.

Perhaps one song title that describes me? Today I'll go with Iggy Pop's Lust for Life.

I love the eclectic mix...can I download it? Wanna pass it on???

I'm so technologically challenged (Thank GOD I live with a geek and 3 teenagers! Or I'd be left completely in the dark ) so if I ever figure out how to "multi-quote" in one post, I'd be more efficient. Oh well...

Here is some help hopefully...
when you want to multi quote someone...hit the + sign (I think it says add) next to the word Quote at he bottom of the post....keep doing that until you get to the final post you want to respond to...and at the last one...hit the quote button... this ties in all the quotes you wanted to respond to in one fell swoop!

If you want to delete part of a post and only respond to a section...delete the area you are not respnding to within the

but you have to make sure that the beginning and the end of the person's story...is surrounded by the

saying and brackets....otherwise...you delete the shading acknowledging that it was someone elses post.

If you want to respond to a person's question inside of their [Quote ]brackets...you can do so...but change the color of the type so we can see it is your response.

Hope any of that came out in English!!

I agree! This board came along for me at the right time. I too am not ready to tell my story and I don't know if I could even if I was ready. As I typed that I came to a realization, that I am ready. I just don't know If I can. Hostile work environment and bullying from the principal and after filing a grievance the admin. as well. Actions taken by the Pricipal warranted my leaving as decided by myself and the union. The president and former vice have been very supportive. As of Jan. 11 I have been out on unpaid leave, not what was agreed to when I left. So, when I am able to share details, I will.
I am a P.E. Teacher. An elementary P.E. teacher. I am 20 pounds overfat. It could be less than that, but I am too hard on myself. I have bellyfat from the stress at work. I weigh 141 or 140. It is not pretty. I am 5'4'' oh probably 3 but sometimes the nurse says 4, so I'll take it. There is a huge difference in being 140 and fat and 140 and fit. I've got my knee brace on and ready for the treadmill. Get out there and walk today.

If you need work...I am hiring...if you need a friend...I am here most of the time....pm me and we can exchange numbers!

I did lose weight this week from 290 to 284.2. I was very shocked but very happy, my only problem is I end up thinking ok I can reward myself it won't hurt anything so I ended up going out for pizza with family. Well one piece did not satisfy me 4 did. I don't get why my mind tells my body to just keep eating. I think I lost my stop mode This morning has been good yorgut, granola, Lunch: turkey, lettuce, sandwhich and fruit. But I am still hungry, I will fight the urge

Go my friend!!! Very proud of you and I think you are seeing yourself in a Bikini right about now! Watch out Myrtle Beach!!

I didn't realize anyone was home. MY FLIPPIN' email is not alerting me. I tend to avoid this thread if no one has posted. I get bummed. Please tell me that this means you get bummed if we are not having an active day..not that coming here bums you??/

Couple things:
I'd GLADLY fork over $15 for a q-tip swabbing of someone with the flu. So you are not alone, 3DK.
Ditto...but can I have it be stomach flu w/ a side of the runs and hold the vomit...

MamaBJ-next time you are printing something you don't want, take the paper out. So smart!!!!

Mouse Pad Aren't I a hoot!!

I have an IUD, so aunt Flo has stopped visiting me. Bragger!

I don't think I have any funny underwear stories. That sucks, doesn't it. Is it because you don't wear any underwear???

I do have a funny exercising story. After I had the 4yr old, I was was pretty healthy. One summer afternoon we decided to go for a walk on the local flood wall.

(Imagine a big hill that slopes down on each side. On one side is about 16 softball diamond and soccer fields (No one is down there - it's empty during the day) with the river beyond. Hence the floodwall, gotta keep that Scioto away from town. On the other side is the city park. The wall is five miles long and paved for walking/jogging/bike riding.)

I decide to wear my rollerblades. I'm a rookie, but had done it at least 3 times! DD7 is rolling along with her Bratz scooter and I am pushing the 5 month old in an umbrella stroller. We roll for a mile, then start to roll back.

At this point I trip and fall to the pavement and the stroller slips out of my grasp.

(You all know what happens next, imagine it in V.E.R.Y. - S.L.O.W.- M.O.T.I.O.N. because that is how this is happening to me.)

The stroller starts rolling down the hill. I am in shock, I am watching her, my mouth gaping open. I look to Molli, who is standing there in horror. Now remember I have FREIKING ROLLER BLADES ON!!! - so I growl/yell - (in my slow, very low, movie voice) "G.O.O.O.O.O-A.F.T.E.R.-H.E.R."

Molli takes off running. The stroller is steadily picking up speed with THE 5 MONTH OLD IN IT!!!!

I roll over (which is awkard when you have 5 lbs of blue plastic molded to your calves and feet), slam my butt onto the grass and slide my legs down the hill. Pull my body with my arms. Roll my feet down farther. Pull body with arms. Roll feet, pull with arms. Roll feet, pull with arms. Picking up speed, but I am never going to catch that stroller.
At this part I was having a hard time visualizing...I am an idiot I know....but did you fall face forward and then switch to the buttockal area??? Beacuase if you are going downhill are you pushing or pulling??? Do you happen to have it on Video for those with a visual limitation???

At the bottom of the hill is the road that connects all the sporting fields and it is lined with railroad ties. That is what is going to stop the stroller one way or the other.

I am roll, pull, roll, pull, roll, pull (grass stain, grass stain, grass stain). laughing out loud in front of family at this point...

Molli is running her little 7 year old leggs off.

The stroller gets to the bottom of the hill and glides to a stop. Soft as a cloud. Didn't even touch the railroad tie.

Molli catches up and I can see everything is under control. I rip off those blasted roller blades and run to them.

Maddi is happy as a clam. She, I'm sure, thought this was part of the walk.

I can't tell you the relief I felt.

(Of course then I had to push her BACK UP the hill and collect the roller blades on the way.)

I don't think I've gone roller blading since.

I too have a rollerblade catastrophe...but mine is w/ out kids!

My girlhood best friend is small. She has since had 5 kids and although does not excersize ever...has a size 7 body and although neked...not pretty...who walks around neked most of the time???

So I have had 3 kids in 1996 and that summer got a pair of BRAND NEW ROLLERBLADES!!! And skinny decides we should go out and try them together by a new apartment complex that would be very smooth for me and my uncordinated 160 pound self!!

So...off we go...discussing nothing important...turn into the apartment complex and...proceeded to be gradually picking up speed as the driveway slopes into a hill and at the bottom of hill is a roundabout once you are 50 feet in.

I am laughing at first... then realize that the slope is now a steep slope and I cannot stop. My friend..ole skinny...casually slows down and steps off into the grass....me...my BRAND NEW ROLLERBLADES....are fast...no scuffing yet on those puppies...so I am thinking I will face death and win....because at the bottom of the slope...is a grassy area that the roundabout encirlces.

I will take a face plant in the grass any day....unfortunatley...Mr. Rock decides I need an exfoliant...because I hit the rock of Girbraulter at 40MPH which far exceeded BTW..posted signs of Children at Play and Slow Down or how about 5MPH...

Wham...

I skipped like a stone on Lake Superior down the rest of the slope...
be proud cause I knew that I should not put my wrists down for fear of breaking them...
cause I didn't buy wrist guards yet since I just had bought my BRAND NEW ROLLERBLADES...

What happened then was to this day, the most humiliating public outing and painfull as* whooping of my life...and I gave myself it thank you...

There were rednecks in them thar hills...okay on them thar balconies...and them rednecks had enjoyed a few sips of pappys moonshine...and they laughed...out loud...then laughed...and pointed...and then RedNeck LarryClarence said to RedNeck BillyJoe..."Think we ouuter call for sum help for that thar girl whose as*-skin is litterin our nice new paveyment....huh..ya think...BillyJoe...reckin that's be the good and rightous thing...huh...are ye hearing me...ya passed out or what???"

So as I layed there...skinny decides to saunter down...laughing so hard she should have wet herself because it might of made me feel better...takes my rollerblades off and helps hold me up as we walk through the weeds and woods to my apartment.

Meanwhile...back on the patio..LarryClarence was putting peas up BillyJoe's nostrils...

Once home..it was very aparent that I needed medical attention. (If we would have had cell phones back then an ambulance would have been called.)

I had on shorts on this excursion and needed 2 hours...no joke.. of debrying my legs and buttocks! Road rash with nice new tar!

But the kicker...as I was bent overthe table to expose my goods to Dr. Dorfus...I kept saying that I felt like I broke something... He said..yup ya did..

He shoves his pointy little finger in the crack of my goods...and says..."Feel this?"
I screamed YESSS!!!

He says.."That is not supossed to move at all"...meanwhile he is wiggling "that" like it is a touch screen TV.

Ya see...I broke my Coccyx...which some people refer to as their tailbone...it is the end of the line of your spine and it ends in your behind...and guess what...oh yeah baby...they cannot cast your AS* so I had to lay face down..pantless..for 2 weeks strait on the couch...stand to pee...don't ask cause i wont tell...and avoid any food that resembles fiber...

I did drop 20 pounds though from that ordeal...
where are those SLIGHTLY USED BUT NOT EVER AGAIN ROLLERBLADES???

[Dizneydawn]

SeptGirl - YAAAAAAAYYYYYY for you. (Clapping ala London Tipton!) The girls trip sounds like so much fun. And now you'll be rockin' the confidence.

DDawn, MBJ, is this story true? Did you lose a dipple on a slide at Blizzard Beach? I have NEVER heard of this. I am cringing thinking about it.

Yes it is totally true...except certain parts were changed to protect the innocent and for possible liberties of creative writing...we actually did not leave the soldier behind...we stapled her pidipple on like McGyver!!

HK, it's harder to get ready for a trip, and when you get home there is so much to do, I usually wonder, why did I go?
That's why my next hubby...he will be a helper...not a get to the airport and have fun...whatcha stressed out about anyways...did you pack my belt...kind of a guy!

Going to pick DH up from the airport today. He is home from working in Texas for the weekend. I am officially on Orange Alert. But on the flip side, I'm probably in for some quality lovin' Think he'll notice the 4lb loss? HMMMM? I'll let you know.

He better or the only lovin I'd give him is a finger pointin to the couch!!! I hope it is a good weekend for you two...

I think this is hysterical! omg I laughed sooo hard. That was sooo funny!

I am here to please and to acknowledge that any ride/avenue/thought of a hill...probably is going to involve my rear end and possily a piddiple!!
Well the personal trainer paid off I lost 1.6 lbs!!! woohoo! Back to the daily grind today. Work... gym... probably Subway again... lol... then to Walmart. Then BED!! I was in bed by 9 last night... lol... Anywho off to work!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Yes...let's have a GREAT DAY!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Dawn - OK, You gotta warn me when you write these types of stories because when I start laughing hysterically at my computer screen, the guys in my office think I have officially lost it... The image of you rolling down that hill is just too funny. I am not surprised to hear that you broke something though... Thankfully, it wasn't anything too serious... I wish I had a comparable funny / embarrassing story to share, but right now I can't think of one... I'll come up with something though... give me time...

Anyways... glad to here your are starting to feel better about what is going on at home... Hang in there girl... you will get to where you want to go...

Hope everyone is having a good day so far. Mine has been going pretty well... I am a little stressed at work, but nothing too bad yet... Besides, I am heading to my AAA office for their Disney planning night to start putting my December trip together (Dawn - I am trying to get there the same time as you so that we can get together.... really I am....) so how can anything get me down when there is a whole year of planning for my Disney trip ahead of me....

My eating is back on track after Tuesday's pig out and I am still doing my walking tapes. I am up to the 2 mile brisk walk, but would love it if the music was a little better on the tape... I am not quite up to going to the gym to hop on the treadmill yet, but I'll get there. Anyone have any cures or precautionany help for shinsplints??? Whenever I walk on a treadmill, I get shinsplints no matter how much I stretch before and after the walk. I may just have to stick to my tapes until I can get back outside...

Have a magical day everyone...
Goof

So does that mean that skippy from wdw crushin gusher may be relaled to Dr Dorfus..."...That aint supposed to happen..."

 

[MunkyMe13]

Today at work has been typical but I was told by a co-worker that my weight loss and working out has been motivational to her. I couldn't believe it! I was shocked. About to go eat lunch.

Hope the rest of everyones day is great!

 

[born2bird]

I am so glad we are not just talking to air...I see the amount of views versus posts and I feel like I am peeing peeped on.(I caught the typo of peeing not being but not until after it posted...and I had to laugh so hard I figured it was good for all of you 2!)..not that I would oppose that from sexy Italian Gondola poled men...(the boat poles people...sickos )
but I have a feeling it is from some funny men and women who want to lose some weight...laugh...cry...and truly find the better themselves...they are just a little shy...so you peepers...come on in...bring a friend or 2 and swim with us...be careful though...I hear ther's pidipples in them thar waters!!

REMEMBER....Friday P.M me your weight loss for the week regardless of when you weighed in at during the week...and if you are new...a starting weight to help keep track would be awesome...it is confidential if you want it to be...some of us are just more comfortable in our fattitude than others...

we don't judge...okay we do but we do it quitely and do not point...
caught me again..
we point but at our computers so it doesn't count unless we laugh...and that doesn't count if we use a towel to bite down on and stiffle our yelps...

We should get a hand count on daily OAW...Outbursts at Work...!

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG! I am in hysterics! My 8 year old DS just came in to my office at home to see what was going on in here, promptly turned around and announced to his sisters..."Hey you guys....Mom has finally lost it! Plus, she's in a great mood...go ask her if we can have ice cream for dinner...."

I then did the 180 that only Moms can do...ultra serious and gave him "the look" clearly stating that "NO, you will not have ice cream for dinner and just for that wise crack you will have asparagus..."

GREAT day so far...made it through my lunch outing without so much as a whiff of bad food. In fact, there was so little I could eat on the menu, I only had a side salad. Tonight the treadmill will own my as s b/c I haven't done anything in 2 days and I am supposed to be on the Couch to 5K program. But doesn't anyone realize that the couch is a GOOD place? It's warm and happy and doesn't care how big I am....

born2bird--welcome! Yeah, another nut for the house....or um....loon for the bin....or um...er.... I am in the same boat with 30 pounds to lose (give or take since I fear the scale more than satan...not really exactly precisely sure of how much I need to lose...but it is in that range. I have vowed to get on the scale by Valentine's Day. As for now, I am wearing all sorts of clothes that I couldn't a month ago, so I know that I am going in the right direction.

HK--Have a great trip! Good luck with working through stuff...and remember, use that whirlpool tub in the 1-BR! That goes a loooonnnng way to help with marital stuff!

Hi everybody. What's going on?

OK. Yesterday I walked on the treadmill. TWICE! 35 minutes each time. I was super duper proud of myself. If the spirit moves, I have to listen. I just don't have the will to make myself get on it faithfully everyday.

My weight is up a couple ounces, so no loss for this week. GRRRRRR. But I didn't gain anything, and that was completely possible considering my urgent love affair I have going on with HERSHEY bars right now.

I'll check in later. Have to take child to school after 2 hour delay for cold temps. It was like -7 here this morning. Isn't that normal for some of you? Here, it's considered a delay We are all wearing long johns and everything.

born2bird--welcome! Yeah, another nut for the house....or um....loon for the bin....or um...er.... I am in the same boat with 30 pounds to lose (give or take since I fear the scale more than satan...not really exactly precisely sure of how much I need to lose...but it is in that range. I have vowed to get on the scale by Valentine's Day. As for now, I am wearing all sorts of clothes that I couldn't a month ago, so I know that I am going in the right direction.

I had a HUGE fear of the scale but once I just sucked it up and got the first one over with, it is no big deal now (most days, some days I still cringe and even cry a little, and throw the scale out the window, and run it over). No really, it gets easier. I am also doing the Couch 2 5K (for the third or fourth time) and am on week 3. I still hate running but am trying to convince myself otherwise.

THANK YOU!!! for the super warm welcome. You all are a fun and nutty group!

Here some info on me. I am 36 married to a police officer. I have 2 beautiful boys; Ian who is 3 and Ethan who is 1. Having two babes in 3 years did not do the body good... I have lost about 30lbs and still have 30 to go. Yes, I took that eating for two seriously and gained 54lbs with baby boy #1 and 30+ with #2. I am a vegetarian but still manage to eat too much crap. Chocolate is my enemy. No kidding, my DH bought me a 2lb hershey kiss stuffed with hershey kisses. Who knew such a thing existed. I ate it. All of it in a week and a half.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you.

hey all...

Did my routine at the gym last night. did 2.27 miles on the elliptical. Subway again for dinner (day 4) and went to bed.

Woke up this morning hoping i'd finally break out of the 240s into the 230s and I didn't I am the exact same weight I was yesterday. Poopy! My DH tried to make me feel better by saying muscle weighs more than fat but when you are trying to lose weight a lb is a lb no matter what it is... lol... Anywho I am super sore from this week. I hope everyone has a little bit more of a productive day than me... lol...

WAY TO GO on the douple dipping treadmill!

I, too, had a good day yesterday....spent 40 minutes on the treadmill...and 30 of those 40 I was running! (insert vomiting smiley here) I think I would have a much easier time if there were freakin' mirrors everywhere! Ugh---I can just see those rolls bouncing and jiggling....and sheeesh...not a pretty sight.

My real challenge last night came when one of dearest friends )who moved away a few years ago) called and said she was driving through and did I want to meet her in town for dinner and drinks. Of course, I dearly wanted to see my friend, but I was terrified of what I might do!

So....I DID IT! I went out (which was FABULOUS! We talked and had a great time like only real girlfriends can) and I did not succumb to my favorite drink (black & tan....talk about carbs and calories! ) and I ordered a totally yummy salad (my second of the day...at this rate, I'll be ready to work at Universal as Bugs!) and water to drink! It was such a victory for me.

You see, this is the EXACT type of thing that usually derails me. I talk myself right into it..."I've been really good, and I haven't seen my friend in so long and I just have to go out and have fun with her..." (Because, as we all know, fat grams and calories always listen to reason....!) And then after I cheat, it is just a long, downhill slide from there. Well, NOT THIS TIME! I am not going down that path again!

So...I went out for both lunch and dinner yesterday and survived BOTH!

Um, ok, it is totally unfair of my scale-phobic self to ask this...but...wasn't it weigh in day? Hmmmm? How'd everyone do? Yes, I absolutely realize that I am a complete and total hypocrite! Demanding to know all of your numbers when I myself hide cowering in the corner in the fetal position because I believe that scale is possessed and will steal my soul...

Hey gang,

I have to apologize for my lack of voice on the board.... I have been swamped at work dealing with a whole bunch of issues and stubborness with some of the contractors and designers I am working with... someday I'll figure out why people get so stuck on an issue that they no longer can see the pig picture.... WHY!!!!

Oh well - at least all of this stress hasn't sent me completely over the edge with my eating plan yet. I will confess to eating some chocolate over the last few days that I probably shouldn't have, but yeah me for keeping the quanities to one or two kisses a day as opposed to one of two bags... That should get me something right???

Anyways - TGIF is the way I feel right now. I could use a few days away from work and maybe then cooler heads will prevail. Until then, I'll just be sitting here trying to finish all of the work that should have been done in the last two days but didn't because I was trying to get the stubborn folks I work with to come together....

OK - my venting is over - thanks for listening...

angry and frustrated Goof....

somebody please tell a funny story so that when I check in later I can get a good laugh....

OMG, we are living parallel lives! Are you my twin separated at birth? And if so, which of us is the evil twin?

Seriously, though...I am a couple of years older (38) and had 3 kids in those 3 years you mention, and OH YEAH...does running pregnancies together destroy your bod like nobody's business! And I am also a vegetarian! I am only on week 1 of Couch to 5K, but I am way ahead of the curve, so that makes me feel good. (HEY...we need a "pat on the back smiley"!)

And don't get me started on chocolate....
