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

[adsrtw]

Yes, I thought it was strange. Naturally, I had to try it lol. It is PB2 by Bell Plantation. I figured that if I didn't like it, I could always add it to my coffee concoctions.

I just looked it up on Amazon and it looks REALLY interesting! Let me know what you think, it might be a good alternative for me and my peanutbutter addiction.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - I am so envious that you have chips, but put them down. Do I need to break out the whistle?

I think I self-whistled on this one

I'm on day 10 of being on and survived dinner with my boss last night. Since I give myself 1 splurge night, that was it. Grilled tilapia, broccoli,salad. No dressing, 2 blue moon and we split bang bang shrimp 3 ways. I have even felt like cheating.

AWESOME on being "ON"! I'm off and on. More on than off, but not consistant yet.

Nancy, do it for me! Did you know that if I read that others are eating stuff they shouldn't, I find it very easy to rationalize doing it myself?? So put down the chips or I'm gonna get out the peanut butter!

YIKES! Sorry! I do NOT want to be responsible for leading others into destructive behaviours!

Good morning! I still haven't bought batteries for my scale. I must remember to get them this weekend. Looking forward to not working this Saturday - I've worked the last 3 out of 4.

 

[lisaviolet]

OMG, just lost a post.

Third time tonight. And Ièm on the effin francophone keyboard again. KAT!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW TO GET BACK TO ANGLOPHONE LAND!!!!!!!

Nancy .5. Not laughing at yours. At mine. But Ièm more balanced Ièm not going to throw my change in intervals out. Just tweak.

And I tricked your little a$$. And I bet it is little. I did want to know. But I wanted it even more in print so that when it happens again I will singlehandedly force you to enjoy it more - congratulate yourself more - etc. Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I get it all Nancy. It sucks to not fit into clothes in the same way that you did. I get it.

Kelly, I must go check. Race?

Love to all.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Lisa- Frustrating on the posts AND the keyboard. But of course, listen to who's talking here

I know, I know. And I thank you for making me THINK more. Truly.


EE - I was laughing this morning about your scale. I stepped on mine this morning and it said "Lo" I'm assuming it meant "low battery" and not "low weight" because my pants have a different opinion

I'm still drifting along. Sorta on, not completely but not too far off. It's going to be a s-l-o-w process at this rate. But every time that I think "this is the week I can really fully focus" *life* happens, things get nutty and suddenly I'm veering off track. again. But, at least I keep coming back to find the track again, right?

Hi Everyone!

Kelly, I must go check. Race?

Love to all.

Lisa - the race is tomorrow

EE - I was laughing this morning about your scale. I stepped on mine this morning and it said "Lo" I'm assuming it meant "low battery" and not "low weight" because my pants have a different opinion

There must be a low battery epidemic - when I got on mine this morning it said "Lo" then it said "Err" which I took to mean Error, not Errrr get off the scale!

Last run today before the run tomorrow
Weather forecast for tomorrow - Rain. Obviously. Would it have been too much to ask for a nice dry day, not too warm

My dad is taking us to the race with my fabulous little niece, and they are staying to support us, which is great! Im going to do my race sign today, I'll try and post pictures for anyone who wants to take a look!

Kindle - Im getting one! The more I read about them the more I like the sound. And because Im such a geek I already have a list of books Im going to get to put on it

Hope everyone has a great day

Lisa - the race is tomorrow


Have a GREAT race Kelly!

Naturally! But honestly I'll take running in the rain over running in the heat ANY day. So nice to have family support. Enjoy the run! and the kindle! I don't have one, but everyone that I know that does have one absolutely LOVES it!

Off to a slow start today. I was up early, got a lot of stuff done - but not necessarily "ME" stuff. No workout yet this morning (I was planning on yoga), breakfast - well, I ended up cooking bacon. And we all know how much I adore bacon <sigh> Somebody call me a taxi. I need to catch up to that wagon

 

[HockeyKat]

Lisa, no clue. I don't generally have access to French keyboards!

Kelly good luck!! I would also prefer the rain to heat.

Nancy, my breakfast was bacon too. Two strips in the car along with my coffee, at 6AM on the way to the run.

I've been doing a no-processed-foods thing for the past month and so Kashi bars are out.

Did 10.21 this morning - official group run was 6 miles but we went out after for a few more. This was also a Galloway "Magic Mile" run so we did mile 2 all-out. My time was 11:06 and then I followed it with 8 more miles and still felt fine, so I am pretty happy.

It was SOOOO much nicer out this morning than it has been! Upper 60s to start the run and low humidity. A gift for this time of year around here.


Now for the bad - AC is frozen again, and the dryer is intermittent. Sigh.

Hi Everyone

The weather gods are smiling at the minute - cool weather, no rain - I hope it stays like this! T-50 minutes until I set off for the race!

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[DisneyGalUK]

First 5K - Done!

The weather didn't hold out - it rained - but it was ok, not bad running in the rain at all because it wasn't cold, it was just right!

Finished in 36.49 minutes - the winner finished in 18!!

Had a great day, got some bling and raised money for a fantastic cause. All good!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Awesome Kelly!!!! So proud of you! I really do like running in the rain. Weird? perhaps, but I like it, as long is it's not downpouring

I'm a little....happy....at the moment. Happy as in buzzed. Perfect way to end a weekend

 

[adsrtw]

Kelly - congrats on your first 5k!

Lisa - sorry about your phone issues. I hate losing posts.

What is with all the battery/scale issues? I'm down 9 lbs since 7/5. Yippee!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Congratulations on your race Kelly!!!! That's awesome!!!

I don't know if I'll ever be race ready, I couldn't even get to 3 miles today b/c I have a wart (ew, I know) on my foot that will NOT go away! I've been treating it forever and it hurt bad this morning when I was running. I ignored it until about 2.75 and then gave in...

 

[adsrtw]

Checking in for the morning. I'm in training for the rest of the week. I'm still on and happy with my progress. I need to get more exercise in. That is a goal for this weekend.

fwiw, I've stopped calling them "races" and have now taken to calling them "events". The term "race" puts too much emphasis on time, speed, placing etc and as a result I feel more pressure than should be required. By calling it an "event" that leaves me free to do it at MY pace, my speed, my time - for MY enjoyment and satisfaction and for no other reason. So, Karen, I DO believe that you will be EVENT ready. As soon as you decide you are

Hi all remember be Butterpants

Sorry I have been MIA, my Inlaws were here and then we had DD bday.

Congrats on your race Kelly.

Karen, I have 2 races this week, and its over 100* heat index, I am going to do them just to FINISH. I don't care about my pace, I just want to finish and not pass out. One girl from my run group is injured and she knows she had to walk the whole thing and again its just about finishing.


I have been OK with my running, I got a long run of 7 in on Saturday and 2 today before work.

Again, please forgive me for not being a good thread friend.

 

[adsrtw]

Karen - I couldn't agree more with Nancy and Jo. It's about finishing and accomplishing something that the little voice in your head say you can never do (or at least my little voice says that). I would rather be a Dead Last Debbie than a Never Start Nora.

On that note, I just signed up for my 3rd half.

 

[adsrtw]

Oh no! It looks like I am putting the thread to bed again tonight.

I completed day 2 out of 4. Not as bad as I expected. I'm still on the wagon, but I am looking forward to my 2 drinks for the week. Dinner tonight was crab springrolls by Sushi with Gusto and greek yogurt. Not really hungry (too hot to eat). Heat index has been ranging between 105 and 120 with no end until Saturday.

I hope everybody is doing ok!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Waving the white flag in surrender here!

Help. I need help. I'm just a freakin' hot mess right now. Food is plentiful, alcohol is not being avoided and workouts are inconsistant. Water is, however, one thing that I seem to be doing ok on right now. That's probably due to the fact that we are currently sweltering in Satans Kingdom here

Every morning I wake up thinking "today will be better". And I make it until mid-afternoon when inevitably things start to unravel. I really need to take a hard look at what I'm doing between the hours of 2 pm and 8 pm and form a new strategy. <sigh>
