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

[adsrtw]

Good morning from St. Wendel. Tournament game 8 for Ryan. I'm waiting for the ghosts to walk out if the corn to start playing with the boys.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

OMG. You`re like this crazy crazy little girl. You`re just getting around to sharing that with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I `know I know. NOt everyone is like me and puts there entire private stuff out there. WTH Nancy. Was she ill (I have no question mark)..you know you don't have to answer that - i'm just nosy and like the curious Cutie. We're like kidney central, eh? Holy cow.

I'm sorry Lisa The french keyboard is cracking me up I know it's frustrating you, but it's like "whilst" and "colour" for Kelly

Seriously - I never told you that my mother had a kidney removed? Really? She did. Probably about 10 years ago. It was "diseased". She had suffered from some pretty significant kidney stones, and had some blockages that needed ultrasonic "blasting". She really kept things hush hush at the time because she was big in the real estate business and had some HUGE housing development projects going on at the time. Naturally she didn't want word getting out that she was "ill". It wasn't cancerous - but what it actually was quite honestly I'm not positive. But out it came.

Her remaining kidney functions great! But it took several months before she was back on track completely. Now? gosh. I rarely even remember that she had one removed. Picture of perfect health. She says she's going to live to be 107. I say good luck to my sister - because she's who Mom will be living with

Lisa, so glad that Nathan is doing so well.
And you must must must weigh in every two week

Hear that Goddess. Step up to the challange. How are you doing? its been about 4 weeks now. 8 weeks to go.

I ran 3 on Friday,
I did Jillian 30 day shread level 2 on Saturday and let me just say OMG if I could do that every day I would be so skinny.
Off to run 4 but I am so not feeling it.

Ronda, did the rain stay away? I hope you had a good party

Nancy, good luck on that road trip with the goats.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Jo- our goat event was definitely fun! The real rain held off until after we got home and then it downpoured!

I took a sneak peek at the scale and am hoping for post-pizza bloat. Tomorrow is my true weigh in, so we'll see what kind of damage I did this week. My schedule was wonky with college orientation, early work days, goat shows - so my food was waaaaay off and my workouts extremely limited. OH! And add in the bike incident (which btw hasn't been fixed yet- I'm still waiting on my new tire). Yeah - I'm a hot mess right now.

 

[HockeyKat]

Nancy, goat event makes me laugh. No idea why. I wish I lived closer, though, cuz mmmmm goat cheese.

Hi Lisa!! Glad you are enjoying downtown and hope that you continue to recover well. Awesome news about Nathan.

Jo, I am definitely in on the challenge. I have been back on plan for 2 weeks now and am actually looking forward to weighing in tomorrow.

I have a short-term goal of about 15-20 lbs for Labor Day (when we leave for WDW), and a long-term goal of 35+ for February of 2011. I would also like to be running under a 12mm consistently for my short runs by September.

If I make my Feb goal, I will be running my first *gulp* full marathon on Feb 12th, the Donna 26.2 breast cancer marathon. It has an easy out to drop back to the half if I don't reach my goals.


Yesterday was 10 hot and sweaty miles. The 13mm group that I help to lead split into 13mm and 12:30mm on the turnaround of the out-and-back, and I went with the 12:30s. It looks like this will be a perm split and I will be in that group rather than 13.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I'm back on track today! Thank goodness. I was careenning out of control for a while there

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start

Whew! The block party Saturday night was a huge success, she says modestly. Rain Saturday morning ended by 10:00 and clouds kept things kind of cool. By the time the monster moonwalk was being set up it was sunny and mid-80s. No rain for the event. Food was about right. Ran out of hotdogs, but not until the end. Food is always a guessing game.

A neighbor hustled local businesses and came up with lots and lots of great attendance prizes. One local restaurant that opened in May gave a free lunch flyer to every household.

We had about 200 attend. At one point I looked down the street and saw 10-15 little people bouncing in the Whacky Shack and smiled. The balloon twister made some great Spidermen and flamingos. The fire truck is always a hit. The porta potty disappeared from our driveway sometime Monday. All is good.

I say this is my last year, but the success is a high and I'll probably keep it up.

Kat - GREAT news on the move to 12:30. Are you using a 1:1?

Nancy - love hearing about goats. Did I mention rounding up cows when we visited my folks a couple of weeks ago?

Lisa - great news about Nathan.

I've seen the PT for my hip pain. It's muscle and not joint, which makes me happy. I can do 2 miles and then it begins to make itself known. I have a session this morning. She's got me doing exercises and told me to run but STOP if it hurts. I want to be a good patient. I do.

Sue's laptop has a bad hard drive and is rebooting for the umpteenth time as I try to use the recovery partition to rebuild it. A new drive isn't that expensive, but I do hope this works for a while. I don't know much about hardware. It seems if Windows knows there's a bad spot on the drive it can work around it. Kind of like knowing about the pothole at Cherry and 74th ; )

Kat - GREAT news on the move to 12:30. Are you using a 1:1?

Yay on the block party!! Sounds like a great time.

We are doing 1:30/1. This week is an "off" week thanks to the new Galloway rules, so we are doing 6 miles with the 2nd mile as a "magic mile".

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Oh holy hell. I just lost a HUGE post. That aggrevates me to no end.

Later. I don't have the patience at the moment.

Hello! Pictures please. Wacky Shack especially.

Oh holy hell. I just lost a HUGE post.

Oh holy hell. Hey we can do hell but no dam n? I love the Disboard editing. It's so utterly fascinating.

 

[lisaviolet]

Weighed in early Ms. Jo. Down two.

The British are coming! The British are coming!

Kelly, the Manilow thread had me in hysterics. Is that your BIL? Not Barry - the "can't smile can't sing...." line. SO FUNNY.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

WAY TO GO LISA!!!

Kat, you are also doing great at the challange
you have some very good goals

Ronda, block party sounded great, I want to come next year
sorry you are still having issues with your hip.

Nancy, did you get that tire back?

I am still on track with working out, but still not that great with the diet, I have good days and bad days.
I am registered for my next half in Nov

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Kelly - I laughed because I couldn`t even remember the finale. I had to think about it. But that George finale STILL haunts me today. I weeped and bawled and weeped and bawled. The SHOCK of it all. I still can`t believe how friggin`SMART of them it was. I remember trying to scream it`s George and nothing coming out.

Yes it was a TV show. Nothing got me like that one except Six Feet Under. Did you finish itÉ (crap accent crap) WHere are youÉ with SFU

Oh I do enjoy Derek and Meredith because I do think they are such different thinkers and I find that fascinating at times. What is rightÉ What is wrong Does anyone really know what they would do

Two of the finales get me - The George one and the Denny one!

SFU - So far behind! Im only like half way through season 2!

I'm sorry Lisa The french keyboard is cracking me up I know it's frustrating you, but it's like "whilst" and "colour" for Kelly

The french keyboard is making me laugh too - I am so going to start saying 'friggene'

Weighed in early Ms. Jo. Down two.

The British are coming! The British are coming!

Kelly, the Manilow thread had me in hysterics. Is that your BIL? Not Barry - the "can't smile can't sing...." line. SO FUNNY.

Ah Manilow I had nightmares about the Manilow, I mean seriously what has happened to his face!

That was DH's uncle who was commenting on the status - he is one of my absolute favourite people in the world. Hes called David, and his partner is called David so we generally call them 1 and 2 and they are they dryest, most hilarious people I know - like a comedy double act!

Still plodding along with the jogging - two weeks on Sunday

 

[AKASnowWhite]

disclaimer: Drunken posts. Actually VERY drunken post

Wacky Shack

Makes me laugh EVERY time yes. I'm 12

Oh holy hell.
Hey we can do hell but no dam n? I love the Disboard editing. It's so utterly fascinating.

I know right? Makes no friggin' sense at all. We can go to hell, but can't be d*mned to it

Weighed in early Ms. Jo. Down two.

SWEET! Nice job there lady! What's your secret? More downtown walking?

The British are coming! The British are coming!

OOOH!!!! They are there now! Is it mass Canadien Hysteria? Are you going to go see the Duke and Duchess of....of...oh crap. I've forgotten their title. But even though I'm an American and my ancestors fought and died to separate themselves from the British Monarchy, I'm enthralled. And just a *tad* envious.

Kelly, the Manilow thread had me in hysterics. Is that your BIL? Not Barry - the "can't smile can't sing...." line. SO FUNNY.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Did I mention DRUNKEN POST? Anywho. Barry Manilow. sorta. A bit of nostalgic love. But I'm drunk so....yeah.

Nancy, did you get that tire back?

Yes. Today. Stephen picked it up whilst (for Kelly ) I was at work. And he put it on my bike BUT....then I noticed....it doesn't match the other tire What.The.HELL!!!!! He told them I was going to flip (hmmmm...maybe he HAS been paying attention all these years ) Yeah. It's not the same tire. I had a major hissy fit. MAJOR. hissy fit. Naturally, that didn't change the tire I'm going to ride on it tomorrow. Then I'm going to go to the shoppe (again, for Kelly ) and throw my little tantrum

That was DH's uncle who was commenting on the status - he is one of my absolute favourite people in the world. Hes called David, and his partner is called David so we generally call them 1 and 2 and they are they dryest, most hilarious people I know - like a comedy double act!

ok. So I can't see where that could possibly be the least bit confusing

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Here I was going to say how busy I've been, and not doing so great with keeping up with the thread - but it looks like I'm not alone!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

 

[lisaviolet]

Happy 4th you guys!!!!

Well not you Kelly. Kelly, how is the press? Good?

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you are all having a great day!

Happy 4th you guys!!!!

Well not you Kelly. Kelly, how is the press? Good?

No, not for me

The press has been very good! A little bit about the protesters, but we have the same Royal protesters here too! How are you enjoying the constant press?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Happy 4th All

Hope everyone is well.

Challange check in, I did 4 miles on Friday, 3 on Sunday
Oh, but I ate like a pig too. UGH.. I have to get it together.

Race registration opens in the morning!!!!!

Challange check in, I did 4 miles on Friday, 3 on Sunday

hoo boy. Challenge. What did I even *challenge* myself to do? Can I claim a new challenge today, because I'm so off track that I don't even know which way is UP right now

I've eaten and drank and made myself exceedingly merry recently. I've even let my workouts slip, which is a very bad combo for me. I feel like a slug and just simply can't stand it anymore. Today I'm recommitting to healthy eating and consistant exercising. And posting on the thread more. Because posting is what keeps me honest.

 

[adsrtw]

Today is a new start for me. I need to make time for myself again. Sigh! Haven't figured out a real plan, but I'm starting with a healthy breakfast (protein shake with low sugar). My goal is to finish the Princess in under 3 hours and to be at my doctor visit weight by my visit in October. That's 28 lbs.
