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

[SeptemberGirl]

Oh Lordy! If we go with our first cat and the first street I lived on I'm Lady Adelaide Lucifer-Shennecossett.

Liz - I can't believe Gen is going to be 2! Where did the time go?

And on the subject of birthdays - today is Nate's 18th birthday He got to choose what to have for dinner. My gourmet son wants hamburgers, chicken nuggets, tater tots, frozen corn and applesauce. And me, being the baker that I am, opted to finish off that menu with ice cream cake

Happy Belated Birthday, Nate!!!!

I have to finish logging my food into sparkpeople. I ate tater tots and ice cream cake. I enjoyed reasonable portions and feel no remorse. It's not every day your son turns 18

Sounds yummy!

WOOT!

tracked. AND I'm still within my calories! At the tippy-top of my daily range, but definitely IN the range!

Woo hoo!!!!

Go Nancy!

I'm wondering about the potassium. I tried to do a search, but I came up with just a bunch of women that had soreness/pain, but weren't runners. They were talking about how it was around that time of the month (which it is for me as well) and I started to wonder about potassium and/or magnesium? Hmmm.

Karen, I have no ideas for you. I so wish I did.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

So yesterday was all raw and today is, too! Tomorrow I start tracking my food via WW. So far, so good. I feel so much better.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Ooh, my 'wedding name' would be Lady Jean Englebert-Pym - I like it, I think I'll keep it

Lisa/Liz - to both

Nancy - Awesome on the tracking! Happy belated birthday Nate!

Karen, E, EE, Amy, Jo, Meg, Ronda, Paula, Everyone - Hi

Oh my, what I day I've had Nothing bad, just swimming upstream all day. Things seem to be harder than they should be, take longer than necessary...just frustrating.

For most of the day I was channelling Liz. "it's just for today. no cookies just for today". But somehow the little devil on my shoulder won out and I ate not one but TWO oatmeal cranberry cookies. Fresh out of the oven. They were heavenly Of course, it was AFTER I had eaten my lunch so it's not like I could have just substituted them FOR my lunch. bah.

Time to face the music and calculate the calories in those little demon treats.

Happy Birthday to Nate

Kelly Happy Wedding Weekend to you. The ladies at work want to watch it on TV.

Liz, Eating Raw,, Teach Me. PLEASE!!!!

Karen, I can't help you with that either.

Lisa, I have never played Skip Bo.

!!!!!!Team Goddess Summer Challenge!!!!!!

Goddess, heres the plan, pick and event, a 5K, 10K, Half, Bike, Swim, Walk, Whatever would work for you.

Post your event and we will training for our event together over the summer, posting each week on how you are doing in your training.

You pick your event date that works best for you.

For example:
I am going to pick a half, I pick Saturday Sept. 3. so every week from memorial day to Sept 3 I will post what my runs were and how I did

Then on Sept 3, I will run a half. Posting during if I can.

This way we can support each other and keep each other accountable for the summer.

If interested, Liz can make us Team Goddess Summer Challenge shirts, and E, has a guy for a finisher metal.

(those detail to be worked out later)



Who's In?????

 

[AKASnowWhite]

oh for the love of Pete. Becca is negotiating with Stephen about getting another kitten.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

How many do you have Nancy?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

we currently have 2. The older one is 12 and the "baby" is almost 3. She wants it, he doesn't and I'm ambivilent. It's stinkin' cute, that's for sure.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

For some reason I think Becca may get her way.

Jo, I REALLY want to do the challenge, but I can't find a race out here in podunk.

They are really last minute about it and I'm hoping they will have a 5K for the 4th of July (they have the past few years) so I'm just going to have to hope they do and set that as my goal. They have more towards St. Louis (100 miles) or Rhonda's area (another 100 miles) but the nature of my petsitting means I cannot leave town on weekends, especially in the morning, because I have work. If it's in town I can get the petsits done and then get to the run.

So, long ramble aside (sorry, it's the wine talking...which btw, remind me in the morning does NOT help with the muscle pain.) I will set July 4th as my goal for a 5K. Pain be damned!

AND, of course, my son and I are running the Family Fun run 5K on October 1st in AK!!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

OMG! Did you all hear that? That giant THUD!?!?! It was me. Falling off the wagon. I'm ok though. Brushing off, climbing back on. <sigh>

Jo, I REALLY want to do the challenge, but I can't find a race out here in podunk.

It doesn't have to be an ACTUAL race Karen. Make your own event. Train for it, then do it yourself! I think I'm going to do a dualthon. I had wanted to do one here that is coming up May 22nd, but I'm being a big ol' chicken. My friend that I was going to do it with is having serious hip issues (genetic condition) and can't run. At all. Not even a question at this moment. So, I'll train for it then do my 5K run, 28K bike, 5K run on my own. Most likely the Saturday of Labor Day weekend

So, long ramble aside (sorry, it's the wine talking...which btw, remind me in the morning does NOT help with the muscle pain.)

hmmm....you don't say. So, what you are telling me is, falling off the wagon isn't going to help my screaming hamstrings. Rats. I shoulda just whipped out the biofreeze and taken a few advil

Karen, just like Nancy said, it does not have to be a real race.
I wanted to post this challenge cuz I want to do another half so that I can get my butter pants back on the wangon that Nancy just fell off of. But the races here are just out of my budget, so why not do our own race. If you want a 5K, so be it. Once you post your Event, and Date here, it will be like you "Registered" so you are set. You report back to the thread instead of a chip on your shoe.

Wagon? What's that?

I think I am going to accept a job offer tomorrow, officially. I got a third offer today that seems like the right fit, and the money is good too - about 7.5% more than I was making at my dearly departed job.

My parents are here this weekend, and mom is making me DVR the wedding. Sigh.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

So I was all set for my Disney 2012 trip
If we get free dinning, I was staying CBR
No free dinning going for DVC ponit then I see on Allears.net'
that they are doing rooms at POR to Royal Princess Rooms.
Now what to do?????

Sorry need to just blurt that out.

Yay for a new job When would you start, do you know yet? I'm so very happy for you Kat. That was a fabulously quick turn around

And the wedding. I haven't yet committed to the DVR but sooooooo want to. But somehow it seems so wrong. Watching someone strangers wedding? I feel like a stalker

 

[HockeyKat]

Nancy, you and millions of other stalkers!!


I am considering starting on Monday. It's hard to take the extra week off with the ticker going on in my head about money lost...

 

[DisneyGalUK]

And the wedding. I haven't yet committed to the DVR but sooooooo want to. But somehow it seems so wrong. Watching someone strangers wedding? I feel like a stalker

We are all stalkers! Its very odd I admit! I never got the build up to Charles and Dianas wedding (I was -1 month old ) and there was never this kind of hysteria for Andrew and Fergie I dont think (but I was only 5 years old, I was probably given cake and that was enough for me ) so this is my first Royal Wedding - its very........intense coverage this morning!

They are interviewing a guy from California right now who has come over especially for the wedding - just upped and left and hes been camping outside Westminster Abbey for 3 days

KAT - Awesome on the job

JO - I have my 5K on 17 July, does that count?

Liz, Karen, Paula, Amy, E, EE, Lisa, Meg, Ronda, Everyone - Hi

Hope everyone has a great (wedding) day! 7.34am here, I need to get ready - my friend is picking me up at 9am!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Happy Wedding Day Kelly

Yes your 5K counts

 

[AKASnowWhite]

heeeelllllloooooooo? Where did everybody go?

I started my week with a bang! Mon & Tues I was rockin' that wagon! Wednesday was Nate's birthday and my day was ok. Not super, but acceptable. Thurs & Friday were HORRID! I'm aiming for a great weekend so that my "average" over the week comes out to be more good days than bad.

Gorgeous weather here right now. Simply stunning. Lots of outdoor work on our agenda, then we're off to see "Hair" on Sunday evening. Hope everyone is well!
