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

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, I am posting this as a separate post so that I can get away from the negative junk I just wrote about above.

I TOTALLY kicked that treadmill's as s today! Wa-HOO! I am posting here because no one in my family gets it. I came bounding home from the gym and proudly announced to my kids...I JUST RAN THREE MILES!! (Note--not consecutive...I did have to stop and walk in between, which is what Couch to 5k is about. But I ran for a total of 25 minutes...with the walking parts added in I was on the treadmill for 40 minutes...so more running than walking!)

Anyway, the kids had no reaction. I guess I can't blame them (ages 5, 6 and 8) as they don't really understand what that means. And DH's response was, "Is that good?" Aaaaarrrrgggh!

So I know the Body Board Babes will understand why I am proud of my accomplishment. I can't tell you how I great I feel!

I have been in a training session all day and just got a chance to catch up and boy do I have a bunch to catch up on...

Welcome to all the new folks.... Where have you been? We missed you....

Let's see - to everyone who has conquered one of their goals (treadmill, carbs, cake decorating, scales, lurking, etc...) I say - WAY TO GO!!!!! You are all an inspiration to me and I'll be thinking of you as I am walking my butt off tonight with my DVD..

I am all for the charity thing... Someone fill me on on what the plan is and I am in. I am all for helping others and it does make you feel better about yourself...

Have a great day everyone, I am off to tackle my closet and get rid of some fat clothes...

DisneyWorld Delight: "If we do raise money, I wish it would be exercise related. To keep in the spirit of this common goal we all have. Like a 2fer."


DizneyDawn: "What about donating money to overweight camps for scholarships to help curb the wrong behaviors in young girls/boys...I could find out some info on that..."

What I meant:
While the overweight camp scholarship is a GREAT idea...I meant to raise money we would say: Walk 30 miles per week for one month. You know, have to work for it. Exercise and donate. 2fer. Dawn, maybe you just wanted to donate outright, I'm not sure.

The Kidney charitys would be my (myself, others opinions are just as important) top pick.

Next...DizneyDawn and 3DisneyKids, I guess I didn't realize the extent that your lives were taken over by medical concerns. I always seem to get some perspective of how my life is not as bad as I think. KWIM?

3DK - great job on the gym. There is so much satisfaction when you surpass what you thought possible. Makes you want to keep on running. (Insert Forrest Gump.)

Speaking of shrimp...just kidding. Couldn't help myself.

DDawn, good idea about the cake donation. Technically they are pretty messy, but the taste is right on the money.

Grump- whatdaya mean you're hiding from the scales? Got a Hershey Bar on your back? (They really out to give me stock options for all the advertising I do.)

Traditionally, Saturday is a cheat day. I think it is for most people. But for me, it's turning into the day I get ahead of the game. Kind of liberating.

Thanks for the welcome Dawn and everyone else! I think this thread was just in the right place at the right time. And the candid honesty and humor made me feel like I could just fit right in.

Yesterday my diet was just so so. I spent the day going to Oklahoma with my daughter to get a new puppy. Today I will be planning what to eat, no eating when I realize it's 4:30 and I haven't eaten all day.

Hope everyone has a magical Sunday.

The planning is the kicker....humor abounds us and the honesty...has to be there because if not...the the thread is fluff and Lord above knows we got enough fluff already!



Can I get everyone to pm me if they are interested in the Fundraiser effort...I know that GoofyFan-12. DWD, 3Dis kids, Grumps and I so far sound like we are a go...but I just want to pm the details to everyone and not get my butt in a ringer with the rules here for posting...so please p.m. me if you for sure want to do this...if you can..include your phone number because I think even better would be to get a conference call going so all of us are on the same page at the same time...with my work I get fee conference call lines so it would not cost us anything to hook everyone up minus the call from you to the number...
I would like to run it From Feb 3-17 and that way can give from our heart this Valentines Day...I am really excited to share the details...and if it goes well...we could make this a semi-anual thing and help so many people....wouldn't it be cool if we got to the point sometime down the road to raise money and walk at Disney for our Body Board charities....????
How awesome would it be to start a tradition to pass on to our children and friends and family....we have the ability to do anything...I am excited for all of us able to contribute!!!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been posting here. Life has been kicking my butt. I've been trying to earn extra money working under the table, but it turns out the owner was completely psycho and abusive, and his alcoholic brother would make a daily habit of stumbling into the office and make my life very uncomfortable, so I left that job rather quickly.

Then my FIL has been in and out of the hosp., battling colon cancer. The fight has stressed his already-weak heart, and now he's back in the CCU until they can stabilize him.

Of course, between money problems and his father's illness, my DH has not been exactly the most pleasant person to be living with right now. I try to keep my mouth shut, but if you knew me, you'd know that's just not possible, so of course there's nonstop bickering around here. I just haven't been motivated to take good care of myself, and have been diving head-first into the comfort food.

Anyway, finally, something good has happened...I won a 4 night cruise last night here on the DIS! I won't be going until May of 2009, but it now gives me something to look forward to, and a goal for trying to get in better shape!

So, back to the gym with me, young lady!

We missed you!!! Tell us how in the heck you won the cruise??? You can't drop that piece of positive news and run!!!!

You guys have to check out the DIS Unplugged podcast! I won it through a Virtual Disney Cruise Houseparty held on the Chat Rooms, hosted by Dreams Unlimited (you know, Pete Werner's travel agency?).

Just check out the podcast. You don't need an iPod to listen, there's links on the Dis Unplugged homepage so you can listen on your computer. They'll be doing more giveaways, or so they say.

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG--that was YOU! CONGRATS! I LOVE the podcast, too! (They played my voicemail last week, so I am waiting for my t-shirt! )

Yes, Pete and crew will be awarding several cruises this year vis the podcast...they have already given away TWO just this month!

I am so so so happy for you! Sounds like it came at a time when you really need it!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

UrsulasShadow - I saw that you won! Congrats. I was glad a regular pod squad crew got it! I plan on being at that cruise too. I just don't have the money for the deposit right now. But, I.Will.Be.There. Just think, I can check you out and see if you got in shape. You have over a year. Gosh, you'll look pretty H.O.T. (And you can see if I got in shape too. )

Go to this page...http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/ ...and click on the Listen Now button. I have my options set so my Forum Skin is DIS Unplugged, which puts a banner at the top of all my pages on the DIS with links to the podcast...but not everyone is as obsessed as I.

Better cover up cause your hiney is showin'!

You can listen to any podcast right from your computer--no need to download it onto an iPod or an MP3 player of another brand. Knowing your sense of humor, I predict that you are going to be instantly addicted!

I work out while listening to the podcast--totally makes the time fly!

Hi Gang!

I am in for whatever charity/weight loss/exercise thing we agree on.

Catching up on all the posts - spent the weekend shopping and doing laundry, which has got to burn calories, right?

Have a good Monday, everyone!
