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

[DisneyWorld Delight]

go to the nine west site and look for the black and ivory giraffe print nuncio pumps.... they are pretty sweet and will be here in about two weeks... I know I am not at the 40 pound mark yet (I have about six pounds to go - I should be close by the time they arrive...), but I needed new pumps since I am off to conference in two weeks and need to wear business attire for it as opposed to my usual jeans, a tee and a jean jacket along with Clark loafers. I am excited because I have to buy new clothes for this since the stuff in my closet is getting too big for me to look professional in...

Plus - I found out that I am receiving an award in May because I was named one of the 40 under forty by the local business review newspaper as someone to watch. It is pretty cool, but I need to have photos and videos done and eek... I have about a month to find the right suit... I'll be on the shopping trip from hell until I find it.... The shoes were the first step.... (I love the shoes...)Goof

Are you talking about these little pretties?

Lovely. Congratulations on the award. Public Validation. Smells like March is looking good for Goof.

I feel for you on your job decisions. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. Go with your gut. No regrets.

Question of the Day:

Four things about me that you may or may not have known in no particular order.

Four jobs I have had in my life:

3. MCI Operator

That was YOU!

3. Buying great gifts

That'll be me harassing you in December.

I also bought my wedding shoes, after much argument with my mother who didn't want me to wear sneakers... hey, i'm already a half inch taller than DF, so heels were out of the question, why are sneakers such a bad idea???

They're not.

So, are you telling me, you're the real life fantasy of every man, Cheerleading Captain? What does that kind of power feel like?

Uh, Hello? Can I HORN in for a second?HockeyKat, we get her if she loses big...(Just kidding Kat!)

That's some nerve.

 

[UtahMama]

OK, OK, OK! We get Kat on ODD weeks you get evens. We agree not to fatten her up on your weeks if you don't on Odd weeks. LOL!

Poor Kat! It was either that or cut her in half.

Oh, and by the way..."Beat A Peeps A Thon"?

Prepare for the spankin'...

So far so good. Just gotta get thru a very long Monday.

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Second - PLEASE don't be too mad at me for quoting you here I just had something I wanted to share.....

When I look at the "big picture" of what I need to do to get where I want to go it can be completely overwhelming. My attention span is WAY too short for that kind of committment. So - I have a little game that I like to play with myself. I call it:

My Mighty Adjective of the Day!

It's an easy game to play. Every day I choose a different adjective (ok, sometimes they aren't adjectives, but usually they are ) that I am going to "be" for the day. I like to go alphabetically A-Z.

So, if I were starting today, I'd be an "A". I'd probably choose "accountable" for myself. Meaning I would take personal responsiblilty for everything I put into my mouth and write it in my journal, along with my exercise for the day. I may not be able to see the "finish line" of my ultimate goal, but heck - I can be "accountable" for one day. Maybe another time I'd choose to be "attentive" and pay more attention to portion sizes and reading labels, or "amiable" and be nicer to myself.

Then tomorrow - I'll be something "B". And so on - and 26 days later I've done something positive each and every day. And the best part is, I've only had to "be" something for ONE DAY each time. 'cause Lord knows, if I had to be the same thing each and every day until I hit my goal, I'd never make it....

Just a thought that I wanted to share....

love that idea...not overwhelming at all!

Are you talking about these little pretties?

Those are my new shoes.... I can't wait for them to arrive.... It has been a while since I got to get all dolled up and dress like a girl and these are the first steps in that direction....

Thanks for the words of encouragement... I am trying to be quiet and still so that I can listen to my gut on this one, but so far the answers have been mixed... I hope to come to a conclusion on this soon. The stress is beginning to get to me...

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What you do in the privacy of your bedroom does not need to be taunted here...I knew you wanted a Tupperware spatula for naughty reasons you twisted minx!

I married Richie Cunningham, you are SOOOO far off.

(TMI?)

Anywhoo, do I look any skinnier yet?

Thus far I've had a packet of Colon Blow and a Lean Pocket and about a gallon of H20. I've STILL got half a mind to exercise.

Good idea. That's what I do. I decide to lose weight and I make all these plans in my head. Gonna do this. Gonna do that. I am superwoman. Then a freak pizza accident happens and the ship goes down.

Today I am going to be, "Accountable."

Which means I have to get off the DIS and start working in real life!!!

Is Richie in the bunny costume? Kinky, baby.

It's Monday in Arizona too, right? Where is Munky? She was only supposed to be gone for the weekend.

Munky, show thyself.

Hmm... cut in half you say? Can you suction out some of that mean belly fat while you are at it?

I like the odd/even idea. I will start this week in Wendy's camp then, and next week in Dawn's.

By the way, why does sugar free tussin have to taste like mule puke? What the heck do they put in there anyhow? Eye of newt, bat's wings? Geebus.

Welcome back!!!!!

Can't wait to hear about the trip... If I know you, any weight you gained on the trip will be gone by Friday....

talk to you later,
Paula

Oh great, I get the week you're sick...keep coughing! It's aerobic-ish!!!

Hehehe!! I did make it to the gym today anyhow. Did a light workout, 30 min on the elliptical and 100 crunches on the ball. I usually do weights on Mondays but decided that I shouldn't as I think I am coming down w/ a cold.

Hence the mule puke flavored tussin. That stuff should come with a warning.

And one good thing about being sick, all food tastes like paste so I am much less likely to cheat.

Yay! Glad you are back. Hopefully we can catch up tonight or tomorrow night.

What a freakin day. Just found out the deployment guy over the weekend (which was my 6:30-8AM conf call yesterday) screwed everything up and we are missing 900 deposits (which is > 10,000 items). I think we have found them now but I want to drive to their ops center (about 45 min east) and beat the ever-loving crap out of the guy. Hey, would that count as cardio?

But, my car read 73 degrees today at lunch and I got to drive w/ the top down for a bit... so it isn't all bad....
