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

We are just going for the weekend... I love DL!!!!

Me too (as evidenced by my "tag"!)

Have a GREAT time! Think of me as you ride Pirates I so prefer the DL version....oh and take a spin on California Screamin' for me too - and you MUST keep your eyes open!!!

<sigh> I'm so envious right now. It's freakin' cold here today, and we're supposed to get another 4-8" of snow tonight. I wish I was going to DL this weekend....OH well, could be worse - I could live in MAINE!!!

Dawn- I don't practice but I would be happy to answer any questions I can. The religion itself is truly beautiful. My mother is Jewish (born not in practice) and my father believes in God but non denominationally. I was raised to make my choice when I wanted to. I still haven't decided for various reasons to practice any religion. I do identify closer to the Jewish faith than any other. Also I did almost minor in religious studies (I was 1 class short). So again anything you need I will be happy to help ya out

Quick drive-by, I have been inundated this morning (first time I haven't been in a meeting).

I am down -1.6. . Pretty happy about it too since TOM is here and I usually don't lose anything this week.

Will be back later to comment on other posts...

Hi Gang...

Sorry for the lack of posts today... I have been dealing with a bunch of crap at work concerning not my project, but my career... I am trying to figure out what kind of future I have with my company and it is really starting to get to me. They are a good company and I enjoy working with them, but I am ready to take the next step in my career and nothing I do seems to be good enough to warrant an actual move. Everyone keeps telling me I am doing a great job and I would like to believe them, but why the heck am I still stuck in the same position that I have been in for the past three years???? I had a glimmer of hope at my last performance review in August when they told me that I would be looking at a promotion when this new project came out, but I just found out that they are transferring someone into our office on Monday to basically do the job I was told I was getting.... Needless to say, I am feeling very hurt and betrayed by what they have done. I don't wwant to leave the company, but am getting the impression that I may have no choice but to look around to see what else is out there.

The whole thing has me very upset and on top of the raging headache I now have all I really want to do is go down to the convenient store in the building and load up on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to drown my sorrows in them...

Thanks for listening...

Sarah - can I hide in your suitcase for your trip to DL??? I need to get away....

If you don't riding in the back of the pick up you can join us... LOL! Feel better!! If you have to eat pb cups eat the sugar free ones... saves a few calories

In other news I did gain dunno why don't care really but I am at 227 today which is a .4 gain which means I didn't technically make my goal for the month but whatever... Keep Moving Forward!!!! Though I am already being a bit bad... Had a few chips with some hummus that a co-worker made... Oh well we are all entitled and this weekend is that for me!

Given that today is technically an extra day - I am giving you permission to consider your ten pound goal met and that today's weight results don't count.... Have fun on your trip...

Honey...I understand totally...I am having a minor set back..okay major..(nothing that 2 months of hard work won't cure) in Tupp and I know what to do to re-build but it sucks when you are nt where you want to be...you have a lot less control in that than I do being self-employed so the aggervation must be very consuming...

I like the way you think...

MM13 - the pic at Sedona looks pretty - never been there before either...

I keep updating the weight loss posts...go back and check em out @ post # 1280!

We have done great this week minus me...

I WILL BE BETTER NEXT WEEK

 

[3DisneyKids]

GEEZ! I am gone and away from the computer for the morning and you all go nuts on me!

Look at her...the scale hog....first can't get her on and now can't get her off....I can invision how your husband felt on your honeymoon!

Oh no...I still hate it, don't get me wrong there! I feel like throwing each time I get ready to step on the damn thing...and then I think...oooh, that might be good cause then the number would be lower....Oh yeah, I'm warped....

We are just going for the weekend... I love DL!!!!

HAVE A GREAT TIME! Happy for you that you are getting a quick little Disney fix in! Jealous here!

<sigh> I'm so envious right now. It's freakin' cold here today, and we're supposed to get another 4-8" of snow tonight. I wish I was going to DL this weekend....OH well, could be worse - I could live in MAINE!!!

OMG, tell me about it! I am SO SO SO DONE! I woke up to -4 this morning! But hey, at least it didn't last...now it is all the way up to 14! And we are getting YET ANOTHER storm tomorrow...and one more on Tuesday of next week! With the snowfall we have had to date, we are already having the 5th most precipitation of any winter on record...and we still have weeks to go! Aaarrrgggh!

I am trying to stay positive...at least when it is cold, I have to bundle up in bulky clothes...and the longer it stays that way, the longer I have to lose weight...so that when Spring comes, it can be more of a "reveal" for me to come out lookin' skinny!

Hang in there! You know that you are an awesome employee! My DH is going through the same thing right now...they told him he was next in line for this big-wig position and then they went and hired someone else. He is feeling the same deflation that you are. There is nothing wrong with looking! Take a browse through Monster and just see what else is out there.

And stay away from the Reese's! We are totally here for you and we know how wonderful you are!

Thanks.... the whole thing is so frustrating... They are bringing someone in for the job I was told I was getting and on top of that, when talking to someone else in the office he suggests I push to be assigned to a project in the Adirondacks where I would be working for a guy with 1/4th of the experience that I have and who I helped trained... where is the logic in that??? I like this company, but somedays I wonder about their decision making....

I did go downstairs and opted to stay away from the sweets and bought a cup of chai tea (always a relaxing thing for me) and a bottle of water... Hopefully, that will get me through...

thanks again,
Goof... a little less grumpy version now...

UUGGGHHH!! I am super busy but wanted to drop in and say CONGRATS!!! to all of the losers this week and hang in thre to those of you who had a rough week, I am riding that boat with you since I lost NADA, ZIPPO, ZERO, this week.

I'll be back this evening...

Ok, so here is an update on my follow-up WW meeting. I decided to suck it up and drive the half hour to what had to be a better meeting.

And it totally was! SO much better! In fact, when I was registering for the meeting, I was chatting with the WW staffer and explained that I had been at this other meeting the other day and I had a terrible experience. She piped right up and said "oh honey, that guy is a pain in the butt! You didn't hear that from me, though..." I was SO excited to hear her say that! It made me feel like it wasn't MY issue! She explained that he does have a loyal following, though, so that is why is allowed to continue to run meetings. And clearly his following is little old ladies.

They would not weigh me today, though (which is, of course, fine with me! ) as it is their policy to only weigh in once a week and I weighed in on Tuesday. No problem. I weighed myself at home yesterday, saw the 2 pound loss, and I am taking it, baby!

Then, after the WW meeting, I went to the fancy-dancy specialty running store (where only the REAL runners shop.... ) and had the whole biometric foot thingy done in order to get the right type of running shoe for my foot. (Everything I have been reading about running says that having a properly fitted shoe by a specialty running store is critical...and that running shoes should be like a size bigger than your regular shoes, etc. All this stuff I had no idea about.) I bought me some new sneaks for my new running feet. Now, though, since I took the whole morning running around to meeting and shoe shopping, I don't have time for my run! I am going to try and fit it in later today.

More to follow....(aren't you just thrilled at the thought??? )

So when I start running I get to go shopping? Well, why didn't you just say that in the beginning! I can learn to love anything that involves shopping!

Glad WW went better - it sort of had to be better, right? How could it be worse!

I love your second-to-last line - so busy doing weight loss things, no time to exercise! V funny.

goofyfan-12, I hope the Chai tea is helping!

MunkyMe13 That's a great picture of you and your husband! Have fun this weekend at DL!

I also think today shouldn't count. It's TOM for me, too, and I found myself pouring salt on things, and I never use salt...hmm, wonder why that could be? I'm really trying not to drink too much Diet Coke, but it calls my name...DC and the salt are in it together, I think. Thank God the chocolate is gone, or I'd really be done for!

OMG, it is totally about the clothes! I'll do anything if it involves cute outfits!

congrats to everyone who lost, and don't fret if you didn't, there is always next week

I'm hoping i don't screw up the 2.5 that i lost this week, we are meeting friends out for dinner tonight, our florist out for breakfast tomorrow, and my best friend from HS out for dinner for his birthday tomorrow night, TOO MUCH EATING OUT, i hope i can make good decisions at all three!!!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Okay I finally have a moment to breathe. Man what a day! Not a bad day like Tuesday but one that wound up chock full of meetings and questions. On a good note, obviously my boss considers me competent enough to just throw me in the pool and assume I can swim. I have had other work experiences that weren't as good... female computer programmers are not necessarily common, and I have not always been treated so well.

One funny thing... my 3PM meeting was in another building that is a few down from mine. We moved in November and I hadn't been to that building since. I thought that you could just cut through the woods to get there... fast forward to Kat in dress pants and knee-high 2.5" heeled boots looking down at this gully going Holy Crap! I was already late for my meeting, so going around to the street was NOT an option! I did manage to make it down and back up in one piece and was only a few min late. I took the STREET on the way back!!

Thanks.... the whole thing is so frustrating... They are bringing someone in for the job I was told I was getting and on top of that, when talking to someone else in the office he suggests I push to be assigned to a project in the Adirondacks where I would be working for a guy with 1/4th of the experience that I have and who I helped trained... where is the logic in that???

I am so sorry. I hope that you can find something else that appreciates you, or get this place to figure out what a good employee you are. I have been there and it really, really sucks. My advice is that you gave the place 3 years, maybe it is time to see what else is out there that may move your career forward. After all, you have to look out for you!

WAY TO GO! Awesome! You are such an inspiration!

Aww thanks! *blush*. I don't really feel like an inspiration... most of the time I feel like a big lazy blimp.

Hope that everyone is having a great day!
