In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[AKASnowWhite]

Sorry Nancy! Maybe it will be back down tomorrow. I haven't worked out at all for a week, BUT, the warts are turning black, so this has to be a good thing! I'm sure everyone wants to read about my warts.

ok, that's an eeeew and a yay at the same time

Due to the rain, I hit the gym this morning. I did 20 minutes on the bike and40 minutes on the TM with walk/run intervals. I started with 1/1 and moved up to 90 seconds run / 1 minute walk and everything felt great! So far the hip flexor isn't complaining any more than usual.

Becca starts her Sound of Music rehearsals tonight. She needs to be there from 6-9pm and it's a solid 30 minutes away. Some days I can't wait until she can drive herself

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

that far away does not make it worth it to go back home, what if you went to the gym then?

Karen does black mean there dead?

Still benched. Still feels the same

Oh and I am eating because I am sad and eating this bad is making me more sad.

Good thought Jo, but the gym is actually in the opposite direction! My MIL took her and Stephen went back to pick her up. Not all her rehearsals are that long - most times the "driver" will likey stay and read a book or something.

I've had 2 days of clean eating. Not tracking, but making choices much more thoughtfully and carefully. I'm starting to feel better already. Another day or two and I think I'll be ready to actually track and get myself fully BACK on track.

Epic rains here again. Flooding everywhere - but no complaints from me. I saw on the news that Harrisburg PA got over 12" of rain from this system and in New York they are in all kinds of a mess! Places that were devastated by Irene are now getting the "just in case you thought you were done" kick in the teeth. Oh how I wish we could send this weather over to Texas where they need the water desparately

I don't watch much TV, but I would not expect that to be a Jersey Shore mantra. Gotta go look that up. Okay, caught up on popular culture now... surprised laundry makes the cut. I had to tell my dad the Kardashians are real people, too.

Karen - Black is good. Did you end up going to the dr?

Jo - riding the pine is awful. You're getting healthy for something bigger, but it is lousy.

Not to brag, but weather here has been amazing! And it's going to stay this way for another week! This morning's run it was 52. Highs have been upper 70s low 80s. It'll change again soon enough. Just enjoying the ride.

Yep, this weather ROCKS Rhonda! I'm loving it, and my electric bill is loving it too, I just know it. No, I didn't go to the Dr, I just bought those freeze kits (although I had to use them WAY more than 1 application, like they say).

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Hi all, I am a bad thread friend. I am just in a funk.

Nancy, love your Jersey style GTL.. ha ha ha.
Sorry for the rain.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Sorry for the funk Jo.

I'm having major muscle spasms tonight Too much stretching perhaps? oy. Someday I'll get it all figured out.

Still eating well, but not tracking. Still keeping the wine in the wine rack Baby steps.

Just got back from seeing the Dropkick Murphy's play at Fenway Park. For those who don't know the Dropkicks are a local Irish punk band who have become semi-famous else where. For an Irish Bostonian like myself this was a night in heaven. Too bad my ears are ringing and I don't expect them to be better at 6 am tomorrow when I have to be at boot camp! (so worth it though)

Karen-I've used the over the counter wart stuff before and had great results with it.

Jo- Sorry you're still sidelined but better to rest then make a problem worse.

Nancy- I've hated the week of rain too but I feel guilty because it's so much worse in places nearby.


So I have been so on track with eating for awhile now and tonight when I was at the show I bought a beer. A nice $9 Fenway Park priced beer. I was about four sips in and I gave to my friend because as delicious as it was I had some tugging feeling telling me it wasn't worth it and I'd regret it. I'm going to fall asleep dreaming of that beer, maybe tomorrow I'll be proud of myself for being so good.

Dropkick Murphy's.

Meg! The $9 beer! Nice job having just "some" and passing it on. Feels good to be in control doesn't it? I'm approaching "control". Not fully in control, but having "control-like tendancies"

So glad it's a bit warmer today than it has been the past few. I'm SO afraid of my jeans I'm up enough since this spring that I have significant doubts about whether or not they'll fit. And I refuse to live my life in yoga pants.

I am still in vacation eating mode (i.e. eating like it's my job!!). I will be back on plan on Tuesday and trying to shed the likely 10 lbs I gained on vacation.

Today is our last day here. It's been a good trip, if a bit rainy. We have been pretty lazy. Lots of relaxing by the pool and in the room. The parks are completely empty, as empty as we have seen it here since 2006, and we come this week every year.

Tuesday was MK, with a literal walk on to everything including Space Mountain.

Wednesday, same deal with Epcot - we walked right into both Soarin' and Test Track.

Yesterday was Animal Kingdom in the morning. It's actually pretty cool here for September - mid-80s. No waits at all. We rode the raft ride twice (so empty you didn't even have to walk back to the entrance to ride again), EE, Dinosaur (so empty we thought it was closed), and the Safari, then came back and ate lunch in the room.

Afternoon we tried the Studios for a bit and did the new Star Tours and the Muppets, but had done everything else earlier in the week so came back and relaxed by the pool for the remainder of the day.

Today, MK again and then lunch at Via Napoli and an afternoon likely in the rain at Epcot. Illuminations tonight, then packing and hitting the road tomorrow morning.

Ah, why do vacation weeks fly by like this?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Wow Kat! Sounds like the perfect week to be at Disney! Glad it was great, sad it's almost over. Enjoy what's left of it

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi Everyone!

Grrrrr, long post and POOF, gone!

Here are the highlights (or lowlights!)

Off the wagon. Big time.

Bad times at work - my line manager (not a nice guy) got sacked today for amongst many things - sexual harrassment, bullying, gross misconduct. It hasn't been a great few weeks. Ive eaten like it was my job.

Hopefully things will pick up now. I hate being down and in a funk - its just not me!

Anyway - hope everyone is well

Sounds like a great trip Kat, safe travels home.


Kelly, hopeing now that he is gone things will get better for you at work.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Jo, how are you feeling???

Kat! Sounds like the trip was wonderful (but way too fast, I can't believe it's over already!) I heard crowds were low right now as well, I hope MK was fun yesterday!

I ran 3 yesterday, my foot is uncomfortable, but not so much that I can't push through it. I just wish it would DO something...like go away!

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! Agh, I have to get back to posting. Missing you guys. I weighed in this weekend with a 30lb loss since 7/5/11.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Congrats on the loss!!!!

I need to get back to posting as well, but then I'll just fill up the thread and feel self conscious about it!

I ran 3 miles on Friday and rested this weekend, I was sore! I knew that having to cut back b/c of the warts would do that though. We're headed off to run again this morning and I'm hoping to do another 3. Honestly, if these things are just going to hang around, I'm going to have to run through the discomfort b/c I can't just sit around for months waiting. I'm making progress on getting rid of them, but it's REALLY slow.

and there is the reason I don't post, all I do is talk about warts!

How is everyone? We've been having some GREAT fall weather, but the next couple days is supposed to heat back up.

Nice job EE!! That is fan-freaki'-tabulous!

me too! How was your run today?

I'm doing ok here. I've had a week of clean eating and ok exercise and I'm starting to feel better. I really need to get on the tracking wagon again, but haven't quite committed to that yet. Things are starting to settle in schedule-wise around here so it should make things much more predictable. I hope

I think I mentioned my Dr. appt a week and a half ago. She wants me back in PT for my hip. I still haven't called them yet. I'm also taking a good hard look at almost everything in my life - from the chair I sit in, my bed, my bike, my shoes....everything and anything that could possibly have any kind of influence on *something* in my body being wonky. I know I *feel* the most pain/discomfort in my hip but I'm not convinced that my hip is where it is originiating.

If any of that made sense

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

makes total sense! WTG on the clean eating/exercise all week! My eating has not been so clean and I have less than 3 weeks to get in shape for my & Rey's weekend, where I'm SURE there won't be clean eating...or anything clean for that matter!

Ran another 3 this morning! Felt great! Foot didn't bug me, but I'm really sore now, I realized that I hadn't been running 3 miles b/c of my foot and to jump right back up to 3 might be pushing my body a little much. I feel ok, but I don't want to get another injury either and I'm prone to those when I push too hard. I may just do 2 and some UBWO on Wednesday.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Glad you had a good run Karen

Way to Go EE on the 30!!

Foot/ ankle feels great today. I want to run, but I am going to wait til sunday Doc said 2 weeks so this week I will ellptical. I still don't know if I can do my Nov half, I don't know how to stack the miles back up without getting injured.

 

[Ronda93]

Jo, keep your pace down. Hold yourself back and try a run/walk. You've got time. It won't be a PR, but you can do a half!

EE - way to make the dial spin!

Karen - keep posting. You're keeping us afloat!

Nancy - my hip was caused by the opposing little toe. It could be anywhere.
