In Search of My Body vol.9 - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

And guess what Ms. 1966?

My post back here was #1967? Wild, eh? That's wild. Oh no, were some of them born in the eighties? Oh no.

I was born in 1981

Go ahead, say it...Piss Off Kelly

Piss off Kelly

I thought the grade 6/grade 7 talk made me feel old....

We are kicking off the holidays this weekend by heading for St Louis. Several of DGFs siblings will be there and we are having dinner Saturday night. Next week is the big show. My family is coming to our house for Thanksgiving. The pronouns alone make this a big deal. The turkey is bought and waiting in the freezer. Mom will bring pies and make the gravy. Our family has never traveled for the holidays. Come to stay with us for two nights is a big change. The weather should be clear so I hope to go the the Plaza Thanksgiving night and see the lights come on. Big local deal.

QUESTION FOR KAT - Kohl's TekGear? I see some great prices on their workout line. Is there enough poly in the blend to wick?

Paula - you can lead a horse to water.... ADRs

Ronda

I also forgot - the house is finally up for sale. Privately - so I'm working as an agent these days. .

See how I don't have it in me. I've talked about me, me and let's see me. I said nada about other's lives. So see.

Love to all.

I was alive in 1979.

I enjoy hearing about your life. You don't have to give, in order for us to want you around. We want you around because you are you.

LOVE the house. Also crack up that AC is an "upgrade". Here it is so totally a necessity!!

Ronda, those pronouns would be a big deal around here too. My family has never been to our house for a holiday, and likely never will. Good luck and enjoy!!


Kohl's... I haven't tried their cotton/poly blends but I love the all poly stuff.

Happy Friday all! I'm finally, finally starting to feel better. I'm off to see Harry Potter now.

1981. <sigh> My husband graduated from high school in 1980. But he's older than me

I feel like I've been away forever! Just another busy stint for me. We went to Boston last night for a fabulous party with a housefull of wonderful friends. Tonight we're going to see "White Christmas" - the musical version. Then tomorrow starts my pre-Thanksgiving hell week at work. Busy, busy, busy

 

[HockeyKat]

I'm here, Jo. Just haven't been very "on" this weekend. Forced couch = boredom eating.

I am also falling into my yearly mid-fall depression. I hate fall, I hate winter, the holidays irritate me beyond all reason, and then having to wear this stupid air cast only makes it worse. See, there's a reason why Scrooge over here has been laying low!



Kelly, I just want you to know that your FB comment about Phil Collins had me googling "Phil Collins hate" all morning!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Lisa - I meant to say how much I loved the house pictures. Where is your clutter I'd be shuffling stuff around to get it out of the picture!

Kat - I'm right there with you. The darkness crap does me absolutely no favors.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I do agree that this time of year is not much fun or motivating.

Its SOOOO Cold, and the money I have to send on gifts and food just makes me sick, however this year I am not thinking of it that way. I am not thinking this week is Thanksgiving. This next weekend marks 3 months til MY TRIP and that makes me HAPPY!!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi Everyone!

Jo - Ive been having one of those weeks too! Struggling a bit this week but trying my very best to get back 'on'.

Kat/Nancy - Im with you two. I love Christmas but I hate the dark nights and freezing weather.

Kelly, I just want you to know that your FB comment about Phil Collins had me googling "Phil Collins hate" all morning!

Its just one of those irrational things I have! I don't know why, but I really don't like him
Surprising how many websites there are - im glad im not alone

 

[poppinspal]

Hey ladies! I had a pretty busy weekend but definitely a fun one. (Which was much needed.) I'm running on about five hours of sleep so I'm going to bed fairly early. Hope you all had good weekends as well.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

let the mayhem begin.

So, who's up for a challenge? Starting today?


As for a quick reply...Lisa, please! I NEVER post and due to circumstances, I will be here but only posting food stuff. The rest I can't talk about online. And you know how I am about replying - hit or miss. So I'm taking you just talking about you you you if you all will take me just talking about my bleeping food!

(I'm tempted to do a banana just to see if E is paying attention!)

Ronda - I'm not in love with the Kohl's stuff. I find the cheap Target branded Champion better. The Kohl's stuff doesn't wick enough for me. And the tops aren't supportive enough. Basically, I cruise the stuff and resist picking it up. virtually shopping, in the flesh.


SOOO Challenge! I propose one starting right now! Until Christmas! about 5 weeks! Write your goals, and we we will track. (Anyone want to track us? Someone who's not a total mess, like moi?) Report on Mondays! Weight optional!

My goals are:

Track 5 out of 7 days
Exercise some
Lose 10lbs

 

[SeptemberGirl]

PS LISA is that your house??? Holy heck! It's more gorgeous than I remember! Can I buy it?

 

[Ronda93]

So, who's up for a challenge? Starting today?

Funny. I tracked breakfast today for the first time in months! I'm in. Goals:

Track 5/7
keep exercising

Dinner last night was Laughing Cow alfredo pasta with shrimp and a ton of steamed veggies. I am finding good, satisfying recipes at hungrygirl.com. I really like the jambalaya, too. I'm going to see if it freezes well. Would make a great lunch.

DGF and I were in St Louis this weekend to have a Thanksgiving meal with her family. It was a quick trip. We started back to KC after church Sunday morning. Phase I complete. On to phase II as we set about tidying the house Sunday afternoon in anticipation of my family showing up Wednesday. The turkey is thawing.

Hey everyone,

I WISH I could say that I didn't post all weekend cuz I was super busy. I wasn't. Saturday was a bit, but mostly...I just had a HORRIBLE attitude this weekend and pretty much anchored myself to the couch, played Sims and Wii and barely looked away from either screen. I'm so lucky Carlos is so understanding.

I had the appointment with the G.I. specialist on Friday...Surprise surprise they don't know what's going on either. So they've scheduled me for both a colonoscopy and endoscopy....FOR DECEMBER 29TH!!!! The only other day they could get me in was right before Christmas and I knew there was no way my boss was going to let me have ANY day that week off after how many people we already have gone.

So that leaves me with a little over a month to abide with. Some days are really bareable....but some days...like Friday night....are not. The headaches from lack of sleep have started to get sooo much worse. The migraine on Friday had me feeling sick to my stomach. I was so exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep as has been the case, because it hurts to lay pretty much any way now.

Sorry to whine and complain, but I'm really getting so awfully frustrated with this whole process. It seems like I'm having appointments just so we can sit there and say "uh gee I dunno"....I could do that over the phone. Quit wasting my time. Have me schedule an appointment when you're going to DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE.

Okay, sorry. Shutting up now. Luckily, Saturday was much better and we were able to go see Harry Potter!!! Loved it. Can't wait till next year. I think this is possibly one of the best out of all of them.

Saturday night we were invited to a friend's for a game night. I was a little hesitant to go, since I'm barred from any form of alcohol until they fix me, and I knew there'd be LOTS of drinking, but we went anyway, and had a pretty good time. I was very nice to get out of the house and off the couch for a little bit. After about 4 hours my headache came back full force so we left, but just that little time with some interaction was fantastic.

Anyway....I hope everyone's weeks are off to a great start

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Oh, Cathie, that sounds awful to go through! I hope the upcoming weeks provide more answers and solutions and less frustration!

Ronda - yay challenge! I'm off to find our how much my beloved Starbucks holiday drinks rank in points!

LIZ!!!!!
Hope all is well
I'll take you posting just about food any day!

Im in for a challenge.

Food/tracking - Im doing really well with after rejoining WeightWatchers so my goals are:

Water water WATER!! Aiming for 8 large glasses a day (around 2 litres)
Exercise - Any kind of exercise as long as Im doing something - which is more than im doing now!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I would love to loose 10 lbs before the half. I am signed up on spark people to track. Still have a bit of an issue with my quad hope to run tonight.
