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

[AKASnowWhite]

OK, time to get Team Goddess is MAJOR GEAR.

F*ck this sh*t about not posting. I know, I know....I have been TERRIBLE. But I will commit to being back here if you all will, too.

YES! And I have a LOT to say. Alas, I think it will have to wait until tomorrow. But I will post it all. Promise.

Congrats on another great Half, Kat!

Yes, Nancy, we want to hear it all!

 

[Ronda93]

Kat - pace leader. Awesome!

iPad posting much better than iPhone. Whew!

After several wonderful days with DGF's uncle in southern France we moved on to Italy. Arrived in La Spezia at midnight.

Weather is amazing.

Good morning, Goddesses!

Ok, time to get with the freaking program! EVERYONE post what they are doing today that is health/fitness/weight related. ONE thing.

Ronda is exempt since she is on the vacation of a lifetime.

Me? I am tracking and staying within points and drinking water. Sadly, fitness is not yet part of my program...but soon, I hope! Waiting for clearance sucks!

Ok...go!

I'll be honest. I'm not up for a fitness challenge. I'm not up to running a half or anything like that. But if we did a summer challenge with weight loss, i would do that gladly. That's what I need now.

I'm with you Liz. I just keep having ailment after ailment that is screwing my running right now, but I REALLY need to lose this weight I gained last year. I can at least do that until I can get back to running. I know exactly what I have to do to lose, so I just need to get my tushie in gear. I realized yesterday that what is holding me back is resentment. I resent that I really can only lose when I not only eat small portions, but really only salad and fruit, and I get mad that other people get to eat things I can't. It's stupid though, life isn't fair and I need to get over it b/c being mad isn't going to make me lose. (where's the whip-me-into-shape smiley??)

I'll resent it for you. It bleep it bleepty ducks. Truly. My truckdriver mouth is DIS banned but let me assure you, I feel that.

Ah, resentment. I'd like to eat less of you, too.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Yep, I'm a sailor mouth! I had to go back and edit my post b/c I tried to use a word for tushie that it wouldn't let me.

As my Grandad would say 'I have a mouth like a Navvy'. I don't know what that means but it can't be good with the amount of f-bombs I can drop

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Gads. Being consumed by my life right now. I owe you guys a LOT of posting Subjects to be covered:

- the kitten
- my discussion with Erin & subsequent enlightenments (likely long)
- Becca's drama career
- funny dinner table conversation

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Ronda, Enjoy your Trip. Have some great food while your there.

Liz, Karen, Your Challange can be whatever you want it to be, if its a weight loss goal then so be it. Post it here and we will keep you acountable.

OMG, I think I just forgot everything else I read.

Going to do Elliptical...

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Good morning!!! Hell day here! Wish me luck!!!

Good morning!

I'm dressed in my black brides maid dress to help boost morale at work. I'm down to the final countdown for vacation. This time next week, we will be at Universal!

Tell me more about this!

 

[adsrtw]

We are having a peer nominated awards show called the Phoney's. We have awards and snacks for the reps. Both of the sups are dressing in black tie. Our emcee is going to roast us too. This is the same department that dressed me up as a green haired clown a few years ago.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good morning!

I'm dressed in my black brides maid dress to help boost morale at work.

ok. So I read that too fast and thought you were dressed in a black MAIDS dress. Feather duster anyone

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to have a whole lot of time to give great details on all the things I want to right now. So, let's start with the kitten.

He is he!! in tiger stripes. This little monster has 2 speeds - hyper and sleep. A vertical leap that any NBA player would envy, and a belief that everything and anything within site is his plaything. Every time I try to do anything on the computer he races across the keyboard and attacks the screen. Open the fridge and he appears out of nowhere and climbs in. Same with the dishwasher. And the cabinets. Good thing he's cute or he'd be out on his little furry fanny in a flash.

Last night I got so irritated with him that I put him under a laundry basket so that he couldn't get to me. It was actually quite hilarious because he ran around pushing the basket from the underside - looked like a giant turtle

It's hard to get a good picture of him because he never sits still!

 

[Ronda93]

I can post exercise. That's for sure. Tuesday we went to cinque terra. Five villages cut into steep hills overlooking the Meditteranian. I said steep. We hiked between towns. Holy calves! There were some folks along the trail that should not have been there. Stopped and not looking like they could start up again. There no sag wagon. I can imagine people getting into real trouble. There were sheer drops that stopped in the sea. I loved it. I cannot imagine the local fire department being able to get an injured hiker off the cliff. We were proud to do it, make good time and be able to order gellato when it was done.*

Today we're on the train to Rome.*

Love the kitten getting into the dishwasher. I have been known to put Stretch under a basket to keep him from getting into things.

I need to drink more water, but output depends on input and decent bathrooms are not a given. More later.

Nancy - your kitten is a twin to my baby so many years ago. Her name was Nose (give me a break, I was 2 when I named her lol). No maids dress and feather dusters.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Ok. Next up. Drama Stuff - mostly Becca's Audition Photo Headshots.

-Beautiful
- confusing (that's me being Amish, I guess)
- expensive

We took the head shots, using two different outfits - one white collared shirt, one saphire blue v-neck sweater. LOVE the white shirt for black and whites, and LOVE the blue sweater for color. Different auditions want different picture types. How many pictures do we need? I don't know, how many auditions will she do? Who knows. My question then became can we purchase the digital image instead so we can print them ourselves?

The short answer is yes. (for a hefty fee per photo) Ok, there are 3 that we want. I get the cd yesterday. Today I need to get the picture printed for tomorrows audition and discover that there has been a MAJOR communication breakdown. The "digital images" are for web-use only, for auditions that want a digital (meaning ON-LINE) image. The resolution is wicked low and is not suitable for printing.

I call the photographer (who is FABULOUS btw) and explain my issue, and my Amish-ness and my failure to understand what she was trying to explain to me on the phone yesterday about printed vs. digital images. She's so sweet and we'll sort this whole mess out - but yikes. One more thing that is *urgent* around here that I must tend to.

Tomorrow evening Becca will be auditioning for the part of Liesl in Sound of Music. I'm so hoping that even if she doesn't get it, that she is offered SOMETHING. Maybe a young nun? That would be so amazing.

And finally (for drama news anyway) nominations for the CT. High School Musical Theatre Awards will be announced this coming Sunday. Soon we will know if our school was nominated for anything. If we don't see anything for the set I'm going to be really super disappointed. That set was AMAZING! (which reminds me - I have yet to see the dvd of the show. I must ask the director what the status of that is.)

Ok. I can't do this one right now. I'll be back later, when I've composed myself, to explain.
