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

[Dizneydawn]

Jodi--the tag fairy is someone on the DIS staff who goes around and puts the funny little quotes and/or pics under your screen name. The ones in color. If you say something funny (or especially if you say something embarrassing) the Tag Fairy will come in and magically place that phrase under your name.

It is definitely something the people get CRAZY about here on the DIS. I like two of mine...but the one about DHs computer is actually from several months ago (although I just got it today) and is not really funny or anything. I will have to lobby the TF to replace that with something a bit better. "Fan of Pineapple Juice" might be appropriate!

Okay so I just learned something new...ahemm..I was not in control of said posting last Thursday when this thread may have gotten a tad bit racy..a little Wisteria Lane if ya will...

I have not mentioned this before...but I am actually a person who suffers from Multiple Personality Dissorder and my alter that comes out most often is a former "Lady of the Evening" and her name is Shaniqua.

So if anything ever violates codes and ethics of the board...please punish Shaniqua who IS NOT DIZNEYDAWN.

You will know it is her because she is sassy, crass and makes you laugh at things only naughty vixens may say out of the bedroom.

After re-reading the posts from last Thursday I was shocked and appalled at such antics. I was especially disspaointed at Erika for contributing in such immature behavior and instigating more shananigans with an obviously mentally impared individual.

Why I declare...I do not know anything about such things as pineapple juice...and all it's tawdry liasons...

I prefer...apple!

 

[Dizneydawn]

WHO IS UP FOR A GROUP TATOO WHILE WE ARE IN FLORIDA???

Huhhh????

Whatcha think???


A little Mickey Drinking a can of Pineapple juice?

 

[Dizneydawn]

And as for an evening with the inlaws...um....gross. Drink heavily. Forget food points. Just drink your points tonight, it is the only way to get through it.

See..there goes the therapist again...she must have a multiple personality also...

Her alter-ego will from here on be called...

Lady Shallamar....queen of nuttin but naughty...

All Hail Queen Shallamar....

Okay, it is 9:45PM. And I am still at work, and still in Wilson (1.25 hour drive from home). This has been a COLOSSALLY crummy day.

Our branch product exploded at about 2PM... came close to dropping 35,000 checks. I have spent my entire day on problem calls and such trying to resolve the issue and now am here waiting while the emergency change goes in. No gym for me and dinner was chinese buffet, although all I had was a bit of chicken and broccoli, some egg drop soup, a few pieces of sushi, and 8 peel'n'eat shrimp, so hopefully it wasn't too bad a hit. I had about 330 cals for bfast/lunch.

I am just hoping to get out of here in time to make it home before midnight. And we have a 3AM deployment of another product I support so it is alltogether possible I will get a call then. Whee, isn't this fun!

KAT!!!! That is a crummy day. I think you need a new job. Something not involving other peoples money. That's always an emergency, ain't it!!!

I have not mentioned this before...but I am actually a person who suffers from Multiple Personality Dissorder and my alter that comes out most often is a former "Lady of the Evening" and her name is Shaniqua.

I am not the least bit surprised by this tid-bit.

Sorry, the sunshine makes me punchy! LIGHT! Who knew it could be so good?

Welcome back from the dark side.

Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Long day. Off to bed with wet hair. TTFN

 

[HockeyKat]

DWD, I am sure thinking about it. On the good side, I may have got some brownie points out of the deal. And it turns out that Wilson is only just over an hour from home, so I got home around 11:20 or so.

NJLiz, CONGRATS on the weight loss!! AND on being the one that always raises your hand with a loss. SO awesome!

And Dawn, yeah right.

I just hope tomorrow is better.

I hear ya' Kat....after 1:30am here and I am just wrapping things up. Will comment to everyone tomorrow...gotta get some sleep or the workshop I am running tomorrow afternoon is gonna fall flat....

 

[Dizneydawn]

Okay guys...I posted a pic of a man with tons of Disney Tatoos on the Peeps thread....they were discussing tatoos over the past 2 days...

I joked and said here I am basically...(It is a man with his shirt off) and they believed me...took me serious and the whole bit...

Look on the post...I refered to it just a few minutes ago and posted my response to those who considered me serious...

I feel kinda evil..but ...do I need to feel that bad?

Or is appologizing for my antics and saying to take me always with a grain of salt...good enough?

I just don't want to offend anyone....I thought it was an interesting pic and I was trying to be funny...now they think I am a cross dressing he/she!

But I have their weights! BWAAAAA!!!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

The pic you posted was of Disney Tattoo Guy who is somewhat well known among Disney fans and the various websites. He has a webpage and has pics of many of his tattoos and his house...which is completely Disneyfied in the most crazy way. He has all kinds of rituals about Disney...for example, as soon as he sets foot on property of any of the Disney parks around the world, he gets on his knees and kisses the ground b/c he considers it sacred and holy ground. Yeah, he's over the top. When I get a few minutes later tonight to breathe, I will find the link and post it for you. It'll make you feel good that at least your Disney obsession is healthy in comparison!

As for your response on the Peep board...I think it was fine. You handled it fine. If it had been me, I would have posted something like "Are you all flippin' INSANE??? Do you REALLY think that is me?!@?! What planet are you on???" lol So yeah, I think your response was fine and polite.

I need lots of PD and good vibes for my workshop this afternoon. It is only an hour from 3 - 4 and this is usually the type of thing I can do standing on my head...but there is BIG grant money and prestige riding on this one, so I want to be on my game. And with 4 hours sleep, I am feeling less than adequately prepared.

Met with the fitness nutritionist this morning and got that whole ball rolling. He got my BMR, so I will be interested to find out the results of that test. Interesting process...specialized machine that I had to breathe into (through this plastic tube) for 10 minutes. Had to be first thing in the morning and on a completely empty stomach. The CO2 you exhale gives the machine everything it needs to know about what your basic metabolic rate is. (this means how many calories my body burns just when at rest. That way you can calculate the accurate number of calories your body needs just to function...breathe and blink and make your kidneys and organs function...stuff like that). Then you factor in age, height, weight, and viola! You find out the number of calories you need to consume to maintain and how many you need in order to lose, and how many for building muscle, and so on. On Monday morning he will give me my meal plan.

Since WW wasn't doing anything for me, I figured I would give this a shot. I have since read a lot of articles about WW and how it may not help someone who is a runner...you have to play with your points constantly to find out what will work. The whole reason I wanted WW was so that I knew exactly how much I should eat, etc. But that gets thrown out the window when you exercise more than what WW figures you will.

Yeah, I know DWD, I wouldn't have this problem if I wasn't freaky exercise girl...

Kat--hope you are having a better day today! It can't be worse, right? I hope they give you some comp time!

[born2bird]

Bird - let me know if you have any questions about JC... just PM me and I'll tell you what I know....

Goof

Thank you! I am just starting to look into it now. I would love to pick y our brain once I get my list of questions together.

While the ethical and animal rights reasons were not WHY I became a vegetarian, they have become more important to me the longer I have been a veg and the more I know. We do, however, eat fish. We didn't used to, but we live in a fishing community. And in terms of ethics, we feel that it is important to support our friends and neighbors who work in this very difficult and unfair business. We have several friends who are in commercial fishing and lobstering, so it is seen (in this area) as a slap in the face to purpose avoid eating fish.


I certainly understand your feeling of obligation to support your friends in the industry. Crabbing is huge in this area and I truly feel for those who do this for a living. It is a very difficult way of life. While I do not eat it myself, I do not discourage my family from doing so.

I know all about crazy these days....

In 27 hours, things will slow down a bit for me, though, so that is something. Still, April will be crazy through the 25th.

I would love it if you could send me the information you get from your nutritionist. We have the same body type/proportions I am just a bit taller (5'8"). Does that make sense? Thank you so much

I hope you are surviving all the insanity.

The good news:

We have light bulbs!

The sun is shining!

I am down to 188.4lbs! (WW today)

One of my WW friends told me that I keep her coming to the meetings. I was so touched! All I do is say hi and sit next to her and pat myself on the back for my losses - I raise my hand every time I lose weight and tell how much I lost. Yes, I am that annoying woman who constantly tells the group she lost weight. Guilty as charged!

Kim, I am so glad your boys like the postcard! Emily would love one when you go - hey, aren't we all meeting up? Whee!!! I would start packing now, for December, but even I know that's insane. I mean, none of my clothes from now will fit me then!

Also, I love the letter to your dad. That's something my husband's family would do. They send sympathy cards to every guy who marries into the family. As for the women who marry in, they just laugh at us, but only after we walk down the aisle do they call us suckers! Aren't they sweet?

I'd started to doubt the mythic Tag Fairy, but now I believe! Should we all clap our hands, like for Tinkerbell?

Having dinner tonight with the inlaws. Wait, make that cocktails, then dinner, and add in Emily and subtract Nick, so that makes it me, alone with the two of them, and my toddler who will probably not be on her best behavior. I will not stress eat, I will not stress eat...

Sorry, the sunshine makes me punchy! LIGHT! Who knew it could be so good?

CONGRATS!! You are doing so well with WW! Be proud and raise that hand high! That was very sweet of the other WW member to say.

for lights and sunshine!! I get all giddy with the sunshine too. Sadly, it is not going to be making much of an apperance here for the next 2 days.

I would love to send Emily a postcard. We will be heading to Edisto Island the 19th of June with my in-laws. Including my BIL and his wifeand daughter. My BIL is a trip and when he gets to gether with DH you can guarantee it will be a fun time. I am really looking forward to the meet-up! I think if I mention WDW to my DH much more he is going to strangle me. I have taken to talking to Ian about it instead. He shares in my excitement instead of making fun of me...

It sounds like our families would get along really well! We have so many pranksters you never know what to expect. I was given a fake lotto ticket (it looked so real!!) and thought I had won $10,000. How cruel is that?

You have to be of Godess status before the Tag Fairy graces you. I guess I am still of peasant status...

I hope dinner with the in-laws went well.

You just can not stay out of trouble can you?

You poor thing! I hope you are getting some rest now. They had better give you some serious props for this one!

That is SO awesome! I wanna do that too Please let me know how it works out!

I loved WW for a while....it was an absolutely fabulous program for me when I had a lot of weight to lose. But, now my goals have changed - I'm not necessarily focused so much on the number on the scale (as in pounds) as I am in body fat percentage....I'm oh-so close to my goal and now I'm looking to shed the excess fat without compromising my muscle tone.

BUT - it's so hard to achieve your goals when you've been possessed by demons! I don't know what the he** is wrong with me lately. I've been STUFFING my mouth with potato chips. POTATO CHIPS! How am I supposed to make progress when I do crap like that??

bah. letting go, moving on....

I am glad you went to the nutritionist. I think that you are close enough to your goal weight, and exercise enough, that a set plan might not work so well for you.

I am NOT having a better day yet, unfortunately. Dealing with the aftermath of something like what happened yesterday is as equally not fun as being there in the midst of it. This is a big company (over 20,000 employees) and has a lot of politics and "policies" and having problem tickets has a bad ripple effect. Plus my boss is out of town this whole week and unreachable, so I don't have his buffer to help.

I would love it if you could send me the information you get from your nutritionist. We have the same body type/proportions I am just a bit taller (5'8"). Does that make sense? Thank you so much

I am peasant status too. We are about the same height, which I think I already knew.

One good thing for today... scale said 174.0. That is a 3.2 loss from last Friday. My size 14 khakis are baggy as heck today. So at least the weight loss is going well!!

UGGG! Timing is everything isn't it??? I hope your boss appreciates the crap that you are dealing with in his absence! Maybe a couple days off are due????

Nice job on the weight loss .... will you be writing a book? "Lose more weight with job stress and lack of sleep???" Seriously though - I'm so happy for you that the scale is going down! Mine seems to be staying the same (despite the potato chip buffet.... ...either that or I broke it...which is always a possibility!

Congrat's on the 40 lbs that is wonderful keep up the great job.

 

[MunkyMe13]

So far all I know is this morning he was having problems breathing and he was really dehydrated. My mom said they took his blood pressure and it was super low. This is his second time doing chemo and this set is supposed to be a bit easier than the last 6 month session he did but so far its not looking good. *sighs* I hate stress...

 

[HockeyKat]

Sarah, . Hope that things get better.

I think that my day has slowed down some. Thankfully.

Thinking of you...let us know if any of us can do anything at all.

Call me crazy, but I would run this one past either your pharmacist or your doctor. There could be some reactions between the vitamins and the other things you are taking that is causing you to be a bit jumpy. Either way - it doesn't sound normal to me.... Please promise that you will take care of yourself...
