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

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - I didn't realize goats - back to goats, right? - had multiples so frequently. I grew up with cattle and it was an event to have twins and usually meant bottle feeding for someone.

Statistically speaking, 60% of the time goats have twins - then singles slightly out number triplets. We had twin girls tonight. Delta and Echo. Yes, we still have no name theme. So alphabet continues until further notice. Besides - I kinda like the idea of Foxtrot

It was so lovely out! I decided that since it was so nice and I was in no rush, I would do a walk today.

nice!

Only 3 kids in his entire school (grades 6-8) made a state team. So he was SO excited to go to school this morning.

wowza. That's awsome!

E, that will be me u have to double back for, u and Nancy need to work on ur story now to get back across the.finish line ha ha

ooooh! We're good at that

Ok enough of that, tonight and tomorrow its all about alaina.

Good luck to Alaina tomorrow


<sigh> and now, the craptastic news. I pulled a muscle in my back today. Doing nothing. Seriously - just turning. Standing is ok, but sitting is horrid. Worse is standing up from a sitting position. I'm so, so hoping that it's just one of those annoying tweaks that needs a day or so to work itself out.

I love, love, love goat season! It is second only to hog season for me. The stories from the Cutie KILL me!

The back. Oy. That's like me in December when I pulled my calf muscle. Literally doing NOTHING. Seriously, what helped hugely was gobs and gobs of ibuprofen. I went to the doc and they put me on a gigantic dosage. But within 24 hours, while not cured, it was only half as bad...and then half again by the next day.

Jo - Please rest. Listen to Ronda. Kat. E. Nancy. Lisa. I swear you will be fine. Swear.

I'm sick and I can't sleep. Just finished a good book.

Lisa. Loving the TR. And I spoke to Cutie today. We are doppelgangers, you know. One letter separating each of our names, the whole weight in the same place thing...how we feel about making dinner. We decided we need the Biggest Loser Ranch for our HEADS!

So Jean loving her is Jean loving me! I'm so not competitive!

Nancy, can you please name the statistically interesting goats? I never got the name of the other goat baby!!! Or are those the real names?

Me, I might take off work tomorrow and rest. I will do 10 miles either Sunday or Monday. And in a week I'll get on a plane, and whatever happens, happens. I am slower and fatter, but by golly, maybe I can be less judgmental of myself. That's what i really need to learn.

to all!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

OH!!!!

I signed up for a 5k on March 12th! I am so proud of myself for that!

 

[lisaviolet]

Yes goat stories KILL me too - for entirely different reasons. Straight guilt.

So sorry on the craptastic Nancy. So sorry.

No, I am worried about your position of "my Liz" - that's what she calls you to differentiate between me saying Liz/Lyz.

OH!!!!

I signed up for a 5k on March 12th! I am so proud of myself for that!

Fantastic Liz. FANTASTIC. You should be proud of yourself.

Me - tough couple of days. One step forward and then I "repull" sort of speak. It's hard.

I had terror for about an hour and a half yesterday. If I explain you will think I'm a baby and ridiculous. But I don't have my stomach muscles for so many things - they are too tender on that side. And well let's just say - well let's not say. I just had something that is very easy and natural that quickly became almost passing out from pain and fear. Okay shutting up now.

Jean is watching her Justin on CSI. I gave her Bieber stickers for her birthday. She's actually used them. So laughing.

Hi to everyone.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

. , maybe I can be less judgmental of myself. That's what i really need to learn.

to all!

Thats what I need to learn to Are you feeling any better?

Lisa, I am loving every word of your TR! I hope you pain gets better.


Can't sleep, still fight this cold, I am at about 65% better.

Ok, back to bed. 1 week from now, It will be time for my vaca!!!!!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Run, Walk, Crawl or Inchworm to the Finish!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Mornin' all! (notice I didn't say "good" ) Thankfully I slept well last night - I think it's because I found a comfortable position and didn't move all night. This morning, agony still. I'm waiting for the advil to kick in. Standing still fine! I can vacuum, dust, wash dishes (um yay?) but can't sit to eat breakfast? I'd move on to heavier duty drugs, but I have to go to work. Somehow I'm thinkin' that would be a *bad* idea

Jean is watching her Justin on CSI. I gave her Bieber stickers for her birthday. She's actually used them. So laughing.

I was at the fabric store the other day and a lady was asking one of the employees if they had Justin Bieber fleece Thankfully they did not (my most sincere apologies to Jean ) There is just something so not right about Bieber Fleece.

Jo - hope all is going well with Alaina today

Liz - Congrats on signing up for the 5K! Are you feeling any better today? OH! And exactly one week from right this minute, we shall be landing in Orlando!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Nancy crossing my fingers for u to recover fast.

They have alaina now, so its just time to wait, they say 30 mins.
She is so brave no tears no fuss when the doc took her back.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Thanks Jo. I talked to my boss a bit earlier - decided not to go in today. Just not worth the risk of *real* injury. The advil that I took doesn't seem to be touching it yet.

I'm so proud of your little trooper!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

sorry your advil is not working, did you try Wine?

We are home and she is doing so good, she was crying alot when she woke up so they gave her something to make her sleeping again, she slept about 30 more mins in my arm now she is eating ice cream and watching Max and Ruby. We are all good here!
Going to try for 2 miles after I pick up Alexa.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi Everyone,

Im here...swamped...need at least 5 more hours in a day - 24 is NOT enough

Jo - So glad to hear Alaina is doing well, very proud of her!

Lisa - Ah Lisa. Where to start - well, I am very proud, and awed by you. I know you said that in the same situation anyone would do it, regardless Im still proud and awed to know you
Loving the TR - tell me more about the Grey's operating theatre - please tell me there was a McDreamy, McSteamy or McOwen

Oh, and I think ive mentioned it before (sorry Jean) The Bieber scares me. I don't understand it all. He freaks me out, theres something about him
I think the CSI you have just watched is the 2nd episode he was in - that hasn't aired here yet - but the first one has. What is weird is before the episode came on there was an advert for something to do with Bieber and I said to DH 'That little thing there freaks me out' then low and behold, up he pops on CSI!

Nancy - Hope you start to feel better soon
Congratulations on your new arrivals!
I think the idea of a Bieber Fleece is just wrong, and more wrong!

Liz, E, EE, Amy, Kat, Meg, Paula - Hi to you all!

C25K - We have started week 3 - Jog 90s, Walk 90s, Jog 3min, Walk 3min and repeat - we have done it 3 times this week, but will definitely need longer at it! Still loving it!

Hope everyone is having a great Friday!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Kelly! Yes! You put it perfectly...that little thing freaks me out! And my kids cannot stand him! And neither do any of their friends. In fact, I don't know one kid who is into him, so I have no idea who/where these millions of fans are.

Exactly! My cousin is the perfect age (13) to like him but she doesn't, nor do any of her friends - who are these fans?!

He has been over here for the premiere of his film (I mean, really!) and there were pictures in the paper of screaming girls with mascara all over their faces and they compared it to BeatleMania. No way, no how can that little thing be compared to the Beatles! I just don't get it

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I gotta say, that Bieber song they sang on Glee was fun!!! Never heard it before but it was Class A pop.

Grooving to Dog Days Are Over now. "Run fast for your mother run fast for your father, run fast for your children and your sisters and your brothers". And teary to With a Little Help From My Friends.

I'm my worse second act. I feel like I can never measure up to myself. But like I'd tell you all, numbers are numbers and not the measure of souls. Like Cutie told me "Worrying about this race is not going to change the outcome". And I told her "You have to be comfortable in your skin before you lose the weight or you'll never be comfortable after you lose the weight."

Deep thoughts. Yes, not judging myself is my head game. For sure.

Jo - glad your girl is doing well!

Lisa - I had a C section. I cried over those abs for a long time, and I remember every little thing they help you do. I feel you, girl. You don't even notice how much small work they do.

Nancy - chiropractor? Massage tomorrow? I'm about to drag you down here for acu!

So does anyone really want a rundown of my clothes? Because I am packing in earnest tonight.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Liz, Lisa, I am with you on the C section, OMG, if you had to sneeze, the worst pain ever!

I think my foot pain has nothing to do with my shoe, I have rested for 2 days I have done nothing and I have had major pain in the inside of my left ankle, the inside of the ankle were the ball is, the pain leads down to my inside arch. I iced it, I bio freezed it, and it still hurts. Now that I know the pain has nothing to do with a running shoe, I don't know how to fix it.

Alaina is doing so good; she has been eating, and sleeping and waking up happy, then sleeping again, only tears all day was when she woke up after surgery. She is just a little rock star.. She has requested a pretty sparkly dress from Disney, the prettiest one I can find. So that is my mission.

I am rambling now, but I was thinking of my I DID IT GIFT, and I was looking at a sterling silver Mickey bracelet, has anyone gotten any jewelry from Disney?

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Kelly! Yes! You put it perfectly...that little thing freaks me out! And my kids cannot stand him! And neither do any of their friends. In fact, I don't know one kid who is into him, so I have no idea who/where these millions of fans are.

E, my daughter and all her friends cannot STAND him! They draw all over his face when they get magazines that have pics of him in them. I've not run into anyone that really likes him either, it's strange!

I'm glad Alaina is doing well! My oldest, who is turning 17 this summer, *faints* had them when he was 2 and he was running around perfectly fine about 2 hours after the surgery, I was stunned! And glad that we had the tubes done, I wanted to cry, he seemed so much happier almost immediately!

Nancy, I hope you are feeling better today, I 2nd the wine suggestion! And I'm so bad, I didn't really check in much yesterday and clearly none of you realized that it was National Wine Drinking day! No, it really was! So I couldn't go without celebrating.

Due for a longer run today but my throat is scratchy. Hopefully the coffee will perk me up enough to get out there.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Good Morning Karen,
I hope the coffee helps, I am about done with the sickness. I am getting over a cold myself!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Morning Jo! Glad you are getting better! I know tons of people that are sick. Not sure if it's the weather or what?? (no clue why the temps warming up would make people sick, maybe it's not related) I'm looking forward to running outside again today, I need to get used to it! I know this sounds strange, but I kind of prefer the treadmill??? It seems harder to run outside, I'm having to slow myself WAY down and then feel like I'm barely moving. I also feel "heavier"? I guess this is b/c I have to propel myself and the treadmill does all that work for me. BUT, I love being outside, so I need to get with the program!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Seriously, why is EVERYONE sick??? I need to get over this and fast!

Karen - National Wine Drinking Day and you didn't tell us??? Tsk, tsk!

Interesting on feeling heavier outside. I TM run a lot, mostly because all my training is during winter. I think it depends where you go. I definitely feel lighter on tracks and paths than just the road. Must be a surface thing. (I bet Ronda and E have the answer!)


Jo - Jewelry. There are some neat pieces at the Expo. When we go, I am up for helping you decide! You might want a 13.1 charm. I think Paula got one last year!

Okay, any last minute packing or what to carry/what to bring thoughts? I have seriously gone through all my clothes and cosmetics and have bags packed! One huge Ziploc for things I'll need during the race, one smaller bag for things I'll need after...ask Kat, who is appalled by my Ziploc packing!!!
