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

[goofyfan-12]

Ok, so I am totally out of sorts today. Why? Because I didn't get my workout in this morning! Seriously, I am all bent out of shape since I am off my schedule. Weird. I postponed my run so that I could chaperone DD's field trip (the sap is finally starting to run, so I have been tapping maple trees all morning so we can make maple syrup). I plan on running at about 2-ish this afternoon, but somehow that is not working for me. I just cannot settle down. And STOP throwing crap at me, Liz!



SO well said! Love it when Goof gets all deep and philosophical on us!

I try... I am not always this serious.... I am pretty goofy too.... and can say some really silly things....

I can't imagine a scenario where mine would be up for it, either. But I am creative...and determined... Seriously though, let's see...Paula and Dawn and one other person (Kim maybe?) are all going to be down there in December at the same time. So I am really thinking I will zip down to Florida for a couple of days. Not quite sure yet how I am going to pull it off. Not a financial thing, more of a kid/logistic thing. Do I bring the kids? Do I make this about me? And if so, can my parents help with the kids? I have to go down at least once a year for work (and usually twice), so I can always play that card and make this my business-Disney trip. But we are also going in January for the marathon (I really have lost my mind completely) so swinging the December trip will require....creativity.

More later.

Please try... it would be fun....

Well here is the time we are scheduled to go...
I will be there fo sure Dec. 7 -14th (leaving early the 14th)....but we could go a few days earlier....like leave the 5th....hmmm..

Next is that Tupperware has their convention August 14-16th in Orlando so I was thinking of going early then too...I get to write off one of my Disney trips for airfare/hotel stay/car rental....see how smart I am????

So that is a possibility as well.....the killer is that Grumps just found out that Qwest may have a strike in August so he may not be able to go since he is a mgr and would be forcedto work if the agreements are not settled on before...please pray they are...we are trying to run this business as an us and us needs to be there!!!

I know that my kids would love to meet all of you...I talk about you often...they try and explain to their friends that it is a myspace for Disney grownups with slight mental instabilities!!! They are proud yet slightly freaked out their Mom started a thread that so many people are committed to and read.....

My kids are older as well so a night at the Poly pool or wherever swimming while grown-ups chit chatted would be just fine...

I know some of us are DVC members so we can use any pool we want minus the Yacht and Beach Club and we can bring friends...WE could pay the older ones to help babysit the younger ones and go to Jelly Rolls at the Boardwalk while they swim.....we could all rent Surry bikes at the Boarwalk also...there is lots of ideas....

What are the dates of others going in December????

Paula/Sara???

I will be there from December 2nd - December 9th. I may be convinced to make another trip in 2009.... can you hear my arm breaking from all of the twisting yet???

My kids would not be going in August...

This is the motivation I need to start lot's of things....

I am so excited for even a small Body Board Bash!!! We can share rooms, share meals and share laughs...go as cheap as possible....whatcha think huh???

Peeps Patrol
#1 pjlla -1.24%
#2 HockeyKat - .90%
#3 Punkin413 - .76%
#4 DARuss - .54%
#5 TwinkieMama - .35%

Total weight loss for the top 5 is 3.79%
Total weight loss for Peeps is 1.74%

Body Boarders
#1 3DisKids - 1.71%
#2 Chbc - .76%
#3 MamaBearJo - .72%
#4 SeptemberGirl - .62%
#5 AKASnowWhite - .34%

Total weight loss for the top 5 is 4.15%
Total weight loss for Boarders is 2.18%

That's right....the Body Boarders....have risen from the ashes and are circling like the great Phoenix!!! The Body Boarders have posted their first week victory with people who this week carried some of us who have not done the hottest....and that is what this is all about...

Both teams have been helping each other...being strong when others become weak...never giving up and never quitting on ourselves...we can postpone our success but we shall never quit that race...

We have less than a week for the final weigh in and there is Magnets on the line....so lets all drink lots of water...garbage disposal any leftover girl scouts...(er I mean cookies) and get off the sad sap train of self depression and sympathy and get moving on the sweet ride of better bodies!!!

Whoo - Hoo!!!! Thanks to all of you losers out there for carrying my weight gain this week. I'll work harder to contribute this week, I promise.....

BTW - As a former and current Girl Scout.... please don't run the leftover girl scouts through the disposal. That kind of goes against their mission to build girls with courage, confidence and character.... Get rid of the cookies by all means.... they are evil....

Goof...

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Yes, I want to go on a trip with all you guys. (Although my husband would NEVER, in a MILLION years, go for that. So, I'm gonna need a cover. K?)

Later.

Ok your cover is...

Cinderella you were doing laundry one day, when what you thought was a roving band of pigme's (a.k.a. body board babes) kidnapped you and took you to their home. You were forced to endure 7 days of torture (fun). It was only after being safely released (7 days of torture er...fun later) that you realized you were in the happiest place on earth (WDW) . Also, you realized you were the prisoner of (AKA)SnowWhite (the matriarc of this band of rufians) and her 7 original and 6 shirt tail relative adopted dwarves (there is always room for more). Let me introduce them: First, Dopy (aka Dizneydawn ...after all she was married to the giant turd for 17 years ) Sleepy(hockeykat when she wakes up she is on fire), Bashful (munkyme13 she is shying away when she is dealing with life's problems), Doc(Goofyfan with great words of wisdom), Grumpy (you can figure this one out), Happy (3diskids always positive and uplifting), Sneezy ( Septembergirl she rises out of the ashes to blow out the crap and calls it like it is), Lurky (Mamabearjo always reading and aware but shy about sharing...lets pull her out girls), Wifey (brcsdisneyprcs hasn't been poisoned by the apple of marriage yet and still believes in the fairytale...jk she still takes some good from us old folks), Birdy (borntobird soars above watching and lands to give great advice before taking flight again), Buffy (Chbc gym teacher by day slayer of body fat by night), Pixy (Pixieshouse flits in and out leaving smiles all about), and we have decided to adopt cinderella and save her from the evil step husband the dwarf affectionately known as dumbas$ brother to giant turd ), . The name the motley crew gave Cindella in order to obscure her identity and give her some free time away from those pesky mice was Spunky (Starter of the sh!t and thinks we will let her back away ). It was after 7 days of torture ...er.....fun that you clawed your way free (souveigneers in hand) and made your way to the airport to get home to your loving family and FREEDOM (heeheee)


Now you have your story and alibi... so what is your excuse...hop on board the freedom plane.


Option #2:

Tell him you are a man trapped in a womans body and you are gay and need some time to self identify.... a week should cinch it or at least he should come back to conciousness by the time you arrive home and he won't even be aware you left......

 

[Dizneydawn]

Its all good... He was diagnosed in July and he is 76.... He smoked almost everyday since he was 13. It was bound to happen and he knows that. We are just trying to bide time and keep him comfortable. It may seem that I am apathetic about it at this point but I've kinda come to terms with it and shed my tears.

I get it...there is a point that you get to when you can't be any sadder (i know not a word) than the person who chose an illness is because at some level it was a choice. My Dad has all these problems w/ diabetes and his leg and is in pain...but he is a drug addict when it come sto pain killers and he is not going to rehab and he is not wanting to try anything so at a certain point...I do not want him in pain but I cannot take responsinbility for all the saddness either...

I hope your Dad and you can remian in good spirits through this journey and you take the good memories of his health in your heart....

Grats everyone and good luck this week!

I have a quote for everyone today too:

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney

Have a good one!

Please try... it would be fun....

Goof...

Goof - you will be back on top of your game ...give yourself a hug from me...
Is there a badge they get for most people in need of a new pants sizes after they sell the cookies???? There should be a Fat Badge...it could be me shoving a bunch of frozen Samoas in...I am serious...the girls who do well in sales will excell in their life...they sell a food every person alive knows that they will not be able to resist...and yet somehow they convince us we need it....they are masters those girls...I should know...I was one....and I rocked the heck of selling the cookies....

I doubt I will be able to go as well.. December is the busiest time of year for my work and with me being in charge of shipping its nearly impossible to leave that month.

Truly, food is an addiction. I'm rarely physically hungry. The head hunger takes over. Bored? Pissed? Stressed? Family gathering?

I'm a bit behind (again! ) but I wanted to chime in on this issue.

Food, for some people, truly is an addiction. IMHO, it can be easier to quit smoking, drinking, drugs...than it is to "diet". PLEASE KNOW - I'm not minimalizing addictions here - they can all be very serious. However, for those of us with food "issues" it's a different kind of struggle. Your body does not require nicotine, drugs, alcohol to survive. It does require food. And to simply say "that's it - cold turkey - no more food for me" - won't cut it! There are very, very few people in this world (that I know of!) who view food simply as fuel for their body, and are quite content to eat chicken and green beans all day, every day (there's a trainer at my gym who does this - her big "treat" is a SALAD!). Everyone knows you don't offer an alcoholic "just one glass of wine"...or expect a drug addict to do o.k. with "heroin in moderation"....but when we try to adjust our food intake, the general population seems to think it should be simple and easy.

Well - guess what. It's NOT! And when some smart @$$ says "if you are too fat, just stop eating" it makes me so angry Oh really? Good idea! Why didn't I think of that???? Freakin' moron. (we need a "flip the bird" smiley!) So, we struggle. And we diet. And we cut the *crap* out, and beat ourselves up when we have momentary lapses. <sigh> We're all in the same boat here... It's the courage to continue that counts....

(wow - sorry - didn't know I had all that anger in me today! Must be those chocolate eggs.... )

Also, you realized you were the prisoner of (AKA)SnowWhite (the matriarc of this band of rufians) and her 7 original and 6 shirt tail relative adopted dwarves (there is always room for more).

Ahhh..the MATRIARC...makes me feel old. Powerful though - I think I like that....now drop and give me 20!

[3DisneyKids]

I am so excited for even a small Body Board Bash!!! We can share rooms, share meals and share laughs...go as cheap as possible....whatcha think huh???

Yeah, I am definitely in. I have a totally flexible schedule, so I can go anytime and I would so love to do it! Seriously, I would be happy to share points with people who need them. We can either do the community thing and get some 2-Bedrooms or we can get a bunch of studios.

I am in for a trip...I have a feeling by December the X factor will no longer be an issue... hey Erika want to share a room? You know I was thinking this on my way in this morning... how much fun it would be...

Ok, me and Kat have the party room...bring your own glass and we will keep it full!

That's right....the Body Boarders....have risen from the ashes and are circling like the great Phoenix!!! The Body Boarders have posted their first week victory with people who this week carried some of us who have not done the hottest....and that is what this is all about...

WOO HOO! We so rock! VICTORY is ours! Let's post some big numbers this week so that we can tie up the score!

Ok your cover is...

I am so glad that I get to be Happy! Tangent...in summer camp I was always voted "Happiest Camper" because of my "sunny, permanent smile..." I was called perma-grin for YEARS!

A-Freakin'-MEN! People with food addiction have to face their poison every day multiple times! I get SO steamed when people say "just eat less...." Don't even get me started!

AMEN! I couldn't agree more! Some people just don't get it... If someone is seriously its not just a diet... its a LIFESTYLE change... You can't just stop and start whenever... to maintain it is a life long thing.

Still in FL. Leaving in the AM. Had a nice drink at 5pm, outside in the square while the live band played and my 3 yr old did some funky dance to "Brick House" in front of 200 over-55's. Wish I had the video camera!

Mr Happy has returned - he's positively glowing with joy. And all I can think is, how nice for you. Really, I think a day of work made him less insane. And those four beers at happy hour.

So who's going to room with me? I'm very neat and bring a medicine cabinet of supplies just in case, and I'm also a nice drunk. Pick me, pick me!

Oh, and either December or August is fine - I have no intention of bringing the family. Bwahahaha!

Have a safe trip home! Glad DH is finally on the Happy Bus. Sorry it took him so long to get there.

If you are drinking, then you are in with me and Kat! Doesn't matter to me...we can work out whatever arrangements folks are most comfortable with.

(wow - sorry - didn't know I had all that anger in me today! Must be those chocolate eggs.... )


Ahhh..the MATRIARC...makes me feel old. Powerful though - I think I like that....now drop and give me 20!

AKASW - I am definately addicted to food. You hit the nail on the head there.

Confession time - do you guys realize I always say something is Funny, because I can't spell halarious. Did I spell that right? I wish the DIS had spell check.

SGirl, I'd happily room with you if I thought I could go.

I love you guys!

Later.

OK, that was TOO FUNNY. I loved it. The man trapped in a woman's body scenario is probably more believeable than a band of roughneck dwarfs kidnapping me. But I digress.

Oh, I love that the ma trapped in a woman's body is the best scenario! Bwahahaha! Why not say, "If I don't go on this trip, I will go postal. Love you, babe! Don't want to kill you!"

Okay, that was HILARIOUS! The rooming, not the spelling). You have to come! As for spelling, this board does need spell check! I remember the spelling of hilarious because I think Hi! LAR! Ious! in my head. And often say it that way, which is amazingly annoying.

I love you guys!

Later.

Love you, too!

It is hilarious...and here is the best kept DIS secret...if you use Mozilla FireFox for your DISing, it highlights your spelling mistakes and typos (puts a little red line under them like Word does.

So far it looks like you, me, SGLiz and Kat are in the party palace. What should it be...a few studios? Or a 2-BR. Lock-off maybe? I am serious about using my points....time to pick a resort!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Well, that's it then! I'll just have to buy DVC so we can all go on the cheap! Now, let me go convince Jekyll and Hyde of that!

See you when I get back to NJ!

We are in a 2 bed lockoff in OKW from the 7th to the 12....12th-14th at the Poly....
if we went earlier...like the 5th...right now we have nowhere....
I could either co-rent a bigger spot...or get a room elsewhere...probably at an all star since my points are gone...the problem is earlier is Fri/Sat and a 2 bedroom anywhere for weekend points is astronomical...

How bout we all stay on the floor at Goofs studio at Saratoga....her sister would love a sleepover....we could do pedicures and each others hair...
and she has a second room for her lovely parents...
MamaGoof would not mind snuggling with a 6'6 dwarf named Grumpy would she????? I would be a nice person and let her borrow him but just for a bits cause he's my dwarf and she can't keep him....I found him and finders keepers...

Goof....would your Dad like a fauxhawk??? I'll bring glitter hairspray!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Trying to change my avatar and uploading a pic from photobucket is getting me nowhere...changed the size...under 100x100 now and it still says my remote file is too large....are they talking about my butt?

Okay seriously...what am I doing wrong???

As accommodating as my family is for most things, there are a few things I'm not sure they would buy into.... MamaGoof (I am so going to have to start calling her that now) would happily borrow Grumps for a while. I warn you though, she has been after me for grandkids like there is no tomorrow and sees any male as a prospect for the father of her future yet to be named grandkids. It is kind of sick when you think about it, but I have to cut her some slack, she has two daughters who are both in their mid - late 30's and she is starting to get desparate....

As for Dad and a fauwxhawk, that would be funny... He is generally up for anything that is fun, so you all would absolute fall in love with him. Did I mention that he makes his own wine???? If I could find a way to bring a couple of bottles down with me, we could all have a really good time on the hooch... (it does have a higher alcohol content you know.... on the plus side - no sulfites, so no migraines afterwords....)

My sister on the other hand can be a bit of a party pooper.... She thinks that she is the center of the universe after all and basically gets really cranky when things don't go her way. We have a saying about our family vacations... If sis ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy.... We do out best to keep her pretty even keeled, but I definitely don't think she is ready for the body boarders..... Mom and Dad will fit right in though....

Can't wait for this to happen....

BTW - I weighed in at JC last night and lost 1.7 pounds.... Given all the stress eating and lack of exercise, I would classify this as an easter season miracle...

My show down with my boss is this afternoon. I am going to need all of the pixie dust I can get to keep my emotions in check. I am angry, frustrated, hurt, and a whole bunch of other emotions about this situation, but need to present my case in a calm and professional tone. Not good when as my JC consultant put it last night, I am unhappy in my job and I am dieting.... leave me the h*ll alone..... I am hoping to calm myself down a bit before I go to the meeting, but wish me luck if I don't.

I promise, I will tell you all how it went once it is over...

Talk to you later,
Goof - party hoster extrodinare... (OK - I have no idea how to spell that word, but you get the idea....)

 

[HockeyKat]

Goof, I hope that it goes well for you!!

I was NOT a good girl last night... suffice it to say, TOM combined with racing home to get Mr Kat and race back to the game (w/ no time to eat anything healthy), resulted in my drinking on an empty stomach, which then led to a burger and fries from hardees, and some pizza when we got home, and more beer...

Poor Erika got a nice chat w/ me after I was waaaay too many sheets to the wind. Sorry Erika!! I promise that the next time we chat I will be sober.

Did I mention my children would be there and they need a pseudo grandma..MamaGoof sounds like she is ready to adopt grandkids and mine are pretty reasonable with no long wait and you don't need a passport to adopt...

As for Dad and a fauwxhawk, that would be funny... He is generally up for anything that is fun, so you all would absolute fall in love with him.ooohhhh...I getta play with PapaGoof (okay I corrected it but I swear I just typed lay instead of play and I am laughing by myself so hard I mighta just tinkled...) Did I mention that he makes his own wine???? If I could find a way to bring a couple of bottles down with me, we could all have a really good time on the hooch... (it does have a higher alcohol content you know.... on the plus side - no sulfites, so no migraines afterwords....)He can have Kat and 3DisKids then...

My sister on the other hand can be a bit of a party pooper.... She will get the name Crappy then...the 3rd cousin Dwarf we leave on the side of the road cause she won't play nice in the car...She thinks that she is the center of the universe after all and basically gets really cranky when things don't go her way. Are you sure she is not a man in disguise...sounds like DWD's hubby according to her...now wouldn't that make for an interesting family tree...er I mean bush...) We have a saying about our family vacations... If sis ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy.... We do out best to keep her pretty even keeled, but I definitely don't think she is ready for the body boarders..... Mom and Dad will fit right in though....I am so excited...PapaGoof in a fauxhawk with glitter all schnockered on Dumbo!!! I want that in my Christmas Card!!!
