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

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Yep, I'm on FB Lisa! Do you know my last name? I only have 80 friends b/c I really like to only have people on there that I actually interact with and KNOW, you know what I mean? So that DEFINITELY means you guys! But, I don't want to friend any of you if you don't want me, so let me know in a PM or something and I would love any of you to friend me! I know, sound like a dork, but I didn't want to ask any of you or friend you unless you wanted me to!

 

[HockeyKat]

Outstanding Kat!

Tell us about the races. Where?

Here's the schedule:
Oct 9th - Austin TX, See Jane Run Half (will run for champagne and chocolate!)
Nov 6th - Raleigh NC, City of Oaks Half
Nov 13th - Outer Banks, NC, OBX Half
Feb 12th - Jacksonville, FL, 26.2 with Donna full (gulp)
Feb 26th - Orlando, FL, Disney Princess Half

Kat! Did you body change how it feels in the heat after you moved down there? Curious.

Here's to you both keeping cool.

No, not really. 104 is hot. I am pretty used to 90ish but upper 90s into the hundreds is where the rubber melts on the road.

Life is just one big experiment.

Ronda

You Said IT!!!!

I can't help with the headachs but I would love to know what you find out.
Some day I wake up with them so bad my eyes hurt.

Lisa, down .8 is down and not up. So good job!

My runs, I had 2 races last week one on Thursday night 110* heat out when we started, one on that Sunday and it rained cats and dog
I am signed up for a 1/2 in November and then the Princess and thats about it for now.

 

[Ronda93]

Wow Kat! What a schedule.

Nancy/Jo - I've been good and bad about tracking food and other factors around my runs. I've always looked for causes. Maybe I've found prevention?

My plans are St Louis RnR half 10/23
Disney Full 1/8
and the Princess - I'll have an AP so why not?

Five miles this morning. The last mile in the rain. I didn't mind. We need it so badly. Now I'll have to look for newspaper to stuff in my shoes. We don't get a daily paper anymore so I'm limited to my hometown weekly. Just enough for two shoes ; )

I'm loving all of the event talking!

I'm enjoying my first weekend after classes are over. I slept late and feel amazing (my kids are with their dad this weekend). It is sweltering hot here. Miserable, but I am going to get a 3 mile wog in. In the meantime, laundry and cleaning my closet is in my near future.

Karen - I just sent you my FB link through PM.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi Everyone!

Fly-by from me - my younger brother is moving out of my parents house tomorrow, hes the last one of us to move out so my Mum is feeling it! Ive spent the day talking her off the ledge

Karen - I will PM you my real name so you can find me on FB - warning, I do on occasion have F-Bomb filled Facebook rants!

Hope everyone is having a great day

 

[HockeyKat]

Kelly, your rants are the BEST! Especially the ones about Phil Collins. I crack up every single time.


I think I might be adding another half, on Aug 27th. It's local but will be HOT. You can register day-of so I may wait and see on the weather.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

8 miles in the books for me today
But that run, and kicked my butt today, I have not done much all day.

EE, yay for no more school!

Hi Kelly, Kat, Karen!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

WOOT on the 8 miles Jo!

Kelly, I have lots of Fbomb rants DAILY IN REAL LIFE, in fact, I just had one about two minutes ago when the dog rolled in poop! GAH! so no problem!

Aimee, I sent you a request!

OMG, I WAS BAD today. Nancy, get the whip! We went to the new Japanese restaurant in town and celebrated Dallas' bday (he's 16 on Monday!) and I got vegetable rolls and all sorts of other stuff and ate until I could barely walk. I'm gonna have some work to do starting tomorrow!

 

[HockeyKat]

Karen, I will let EE "suggest" you to me on FB and we can connect that way.

8 miles here too. Man it was hot. 80 when I got in my car at 5:30 and a high of 104 today.

I managed to do fine for the day though - came home, showered, went shopping with D, then he went out with his friends and I had a friend over for dinner, and still going.

It's almost crash time though...

 

[adsrtw]

Karen - I just sent Kat as a suggested friend.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Got it!

Well, up a pound this morning and that's pretty good for me. Usually when I eat off plan I can gain quite a bit more overnight. No slippery slopes for me today though, I'm jumping RIGHT back on my wagon. Rey is home for the weekend but I just woke up with cramps. TMI maybe, but when you only see your husband once a month, this kind of thing can really piss a girl off!

 

[Ronda93]

The eagle has landed. We met DGF's sister and mother half way yesterday and returned home in the afternoon. MIL's dachshund, Gus, came, too. He's a little territorial and growls and barks from the comfort of her lap. Put him on the floor and he meeks out. Everyone is settled in.

I fixed dinner. Turkey/beef meatloaf and cauliflower mac and cheese. DGF and MIL watched a movie. Good night.

We're up and getting ready for church. I think she's going with us.

She's doing okay. After a few days of interaction she sharpens up. She's a perfect candidate for a senior living setting, but resists discussing it. Sigh.

[AKASnowWhite]

Lots of catching up to do here!

And speaking of which I'm down .8.

......

I suspect I lost some muscle around surgery and I wasn't doing much weight bearing in Collingwood either. And now I'm getting a bit back. Who knows but regardless I don' t want the mental impact anymore.

Nice job on the loss Lisa. And yeah - I get the other

Hey Nancy - please tell me that Stephen has dropped his little no A/C plan from a few years back. Please.

yes indeed! Even though we probably should have turned it off today, it's on

Nancy/Jo - I've been good and bad about tracking food and other factors around my runs. I've always looked for causes. Maybe I've found prevention?

another question - could it be chiropractic? I get wicked headaches when my neck & back are out of alignment. Running on that, then, makes it worse for me because of the pounding on my already wonky body. Again - just a thought.

I'm enjoying my first weekend after classes are over. I slept late and feel amazing (my kids are with their dad this weekend). It is sweltering hot here. Miserable, but I am going to get a 3 mile wog in. In the meantime, laundry and cleaning my closet is in my near future.

on the class-free weekend! Enjoy!

Karen - I will PM you my real name so you can find me on FB - warning, I do on occasion have F-Bomb filled Facebook rants!

"occasional"

OMG, I WAS BAD today. Nancy, get the whip! We went to the new Japanese restaurant in town and celebrated Dallas' bday (he's 16 on Monday!) and I got vegetable rolls and all sorts of other stuff and ate until I could barely walk. I'm gonna have some work to do starting tomorrow!

But it's his BIRTHDAY! Birthdays are meant to be enjoyed. That's why we work so hard on the other days

Karen - I just sent Kat as a suggested friend.

EE - suggest me too, k?

The eagle has landed.



She's doing okay. After a few days of interaction she sharpens up. She's a perfect candidate for a senior living setting, but resists discussing it. Sigh.

<sigh> I'm not ready for that. Really I'm not. There are some really great options out there, but of course she has to be a willing participant in the endeavor!


I'm currently packing. Taking a few days off here and heading to New Hampshire "camping" (she says in quotes. It's a cabin. With a bed. And a bathroom. Or so I'm told ) Leaving tomorrow a.m., back later on Thursday.

 

[adsrtw]

Nancy & Karen - I sent the FB suggestion.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Nancy & Karen - I sent the FB suggestion.

Yay!!!!

Happy August! I hope everybody is having a better than expected Monday.

OMG. I'm not even sure I have 50. I think it's 48.

Amiee. Please direct Karen to me. Thanks.

I know Jo. I am pleased to be going down every week. OMG. I won't say a thing.

Anyway, it's fine. What I don't want is for it to interfere with my workouts AT ALL. You see my workouts are so beyond losing weight for me. They are precious to me and really good for my mental health. So I don't need anything making me *think* around them. As in I love them, am happy but feel like I have to do this or that for the scale. That's all.

Holy races Batgirl!

Wow Kat! What a schedule.

Adored the purple Ronda.

Loved the attitude there missy!!!

Stop it Kelly - just the memories of your FB rants makes me stomach hurt.

Kelly, your rants are the BEST! Especially the ones about Phil Collins. I crack up every single time.

Smug -faced tosspot.

Ronda

I tell you Ronda - I feel that every human should have to visit a home at forty. For their birthday. I bet so many more people would make changes to avoid. (I do know there are some lovely ones - but the sh!tty far outnumber).

A friend was just giving his mother condescending crap. And I said, "you do realize that your daughter and SIL will be making the decisions for you, don't you?". He was horrified. Beyond horrifed. It hadn"t crossed his mind. And was nicer and more compassionate to his mother's mouth.

I'm currently packing. Taking a few days off here and heading to New Hampshire "camping" (she says in quotes. It's a cabin. With a bed. And a bathroom. Or so I'm told ) Leaving tomorrow a.m., back later on Thursday. :thumbsup

Nice on the trip Nancy. Where? I spent many a time North Conway area. It was a lovely road trip from university.

Thank God Stephen has come to his senses.

Just want to make sure you saw my request to lead Karen to me Amiee. Thanks.

Done!
