I am heavy hearted... But alright.

I'm so incredibly sorry Paula. So sorry to hear that he has passed away.

 

[lisaviolet]

Hi and love to all of you.

Hi Everyone,

Paula - I am so so sorry to hear about your cousin. Im thinking of you all

Kat - Man you had a crazy few days! Hope its gotten better for you

Jo - Awesome on the 7 miles! Im no use at all with your knee troubles, my only advice would be if it continues see a doctor

Meg - WOW. That dress is stunning, and you will look fabulous! I agree with your mum, sometimes you just have to splurge!

Nancy - I would most definitely call no cupcakes and no alcohol a win!

Hi and love to all of you.

HI! So - Grey's Anatomy - has it started again over there?? I can't wait for it to start over here - im guessing it will be a good few months!
Oh, I had Indian Food last night

E, EE, Ronda, Everyone - Hi!

Busy weekend over here, im hoping that today will be a little calmer! Still plodding along with the tracking and exercise - every little helps!

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Glee started too I am pretty sure.

Meg, WOW on that dress, You must take pics of you in it.

Hi Lisa, hope your well.

Kat, are you ok?? Still crazy busy??

Nancy, Yay, no Wine!! That is a WIN!!

Paula,

Amiee, Erika, Ronda, hope you all are well

Hi and love to all of you.

Miss you SO much.


Happy Sunday to all! I weighed in this morning and am down 1 more pound, for a total of 4.5 in the last 2 weeks I'm so incredibly happy about that. Just under 2 weeks to go until my "event" where I need to wear that *outfit* so I'm completely confident that I'll reach my 5 pound goal.

Kelly - Glee started last week. We dvr'd it but I haven't had time to watch yet. Becca did - of course she loved it!

Meg- WOWZA! Love the dress. Love it.

Jo - how does the knee feel today? Better I hope. Are there any trainer-type people at your run club that you can get feedback from ?

Kat- did you make it home from Pa? Or are you stuck in no-electricity-no-wallet he!! still

Paula - I know what it's like to train for a major event and get *this close* and not be able to participate. In my case it was my very first half marathon and I ended up with a tear in my miniscus. It didn't require surgery, but it DID require that I stop running immediately. It was very hard. The only thing that was anything close to a saving grace for me was when I woke up on race day it was absolutely pouring rain.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Meg - live the dress. You should show off the new body.

Jo - how is the knee?

Nancy - whoo hoo in the loss!

Thanks for the hugs and kind thoughts everyone. Still don't know what the arrangements will be so the ride is still up in the air. We shall see. Skipping the funeral for the ride is nit an option. It just wouldn't feel right to me. Once I know what the plan is I can work on dealing with the emotions of it all.

In the meantime, my eating is out of control. I so need to get that back under control... Sighing...

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Watching Amazing Race. LOVE that show.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Paula, I don't know much about TNT, but can you ask them if there is a race in another state? In the event you can't make this one, can you try to do it in another state that may not be too long after this one.

Sending you hugs, and prayers





Way to go Nancy on the loss!! My Knee is tight, I walked 1.70 miles today pushing the kids in the stroller, holy cow that was hard with them they together, thats like pushing 70 lbs.

This will be an easy run week for me, I have some vacation time off this week, I only work Monday So I will do small runs. Alexa's bday is Friday so were going to do stuff with the kids.


Nancy, are you going to send a pic of the outfit for the event?

Did I miss something, has anyone heard for Amiee or Erika? Hope you both are well.

 

[poppinspal]

Morning ladies! I have a very busy week coming up with something going on almost every night. Why is the fall always like this for me?

Paula- If it ends up that you can not do the race I would talk to what charity group you raised money for. I explained my circumstances to the group I was running for and they told me I could run the next year without fundraising. (I did fundraise but not to the extent I did the first time.) Actually my mom emailed them without me knowing but boy am I glad she did. Lots of hugs your way.

Jo- I shot Erika a text about a week go just to say hi/bug her. She says she's doing well but is super busy between things for the kids and work. I meant to share that before.

And let that be a lesson to all of you, if you give me your phone number, I will use it! I'm not afraid to text!

Ok off to work then right to babysitting after. Have a good one everyone!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Meg I just sent u my cell number

 

[HockeyKat]

Paula, so sorry for your loss. *hugs*

Kat, are you ok?? Still crazy busy??

*crawls in*. I'm here. Got back last night around 1AM.

I took the morning off but am working to catch up. Tonight is choir from 7:30-9:30 and hockey practice from 9:45-11. No rest for the wicked.

 

[poppinspal]

Jo- Got it! Shooting you a text shortly.

Kat- You're back, yay! How's half training going?


I hate this week already. I'm working on not letting things get to me. So far it's not working so well.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Welcome back Kat, I hope you get a break soon.

Hi Meg, I did text you back. You hate this week already , OMG that is not a good sign.

Paula, How are you doing?

Hi Nancy, are you still crazy, hows the workouts and the food? How many days til your EVENT?

Amiee, hope you are well

Hi Lisa, E, Kelly, Ronda!


Today was rest day for me, and I am on vacation!!!!
Not really doing much, day trip type stuff. But I will not be at work

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Paula - thinking about you today! Tuesday. Are you having "family dinner" tonight?

Morning ladies! I have a very busy week coming up with something going on almost every night. Why is the fall always like this for me?

Labor Day to Columbus Day. That 6 week span is pure he!! for me. I woke up at 3:30 this morning with The Fray running thru my brain...."Everyone knows I'm in over my head, I'm in over my head" Yeah. My subconcious is right.

*crawls in*. I'm here. Got back last night around 1AM.

Welcome back! After that trip, I bet home never felt quite so good!

Hi Nancy, are you still crazy, hows the workouts and the food? How many days til your EVENT?

Workouts are great. Food is great. I am seriously so "on" right now. But it takes so.much.time. Everything does. Yesterday I had a targeted calorie burn of 800 calories - so I did my walk/run intervals on the TM for 1 hour, then hit the elliptical for another 10 minutes, followed by ab work and stretching - I hit 850 which was great, but it took so much time! And the constant meal planning. I swear I never obsess about food as much as I do when I'm trying to be good! And this time of year I do not have a single extra second to spare. <sigh>

My "event" is Columbus Day Weekend. You may have seen it posted on my FB at times - it's called Otherworld. It's an amazingly fun adventure weekend.

Times up for me- gym, work, get grain, deliver a goat to it's new family, eat, cook, finish sewing costumes.... I'm so glad it's raining here. Hopefully things will be quiet at work today.


Hi to Lisa, EE, E, Ronda, Kelly....missing you all!

 

[poppinspal]

Jo- I got your number, sorry I missed your call. I was on the phone with a friend who is in the Marines so I didn't click over.


I'm pretty much at the end of my rope this week and it's only Tuesday. Oh and my eating... has been horrible when I find a moment to eat.

 

[HockeyKat]

Here, but this week is no better than last.

D has a tooth extracted tomorrow.

Had to take cats to the vet today. One was for her yearly checkup, but the other has been listless and not eating.

Well, bad news is that she has a kidney stone and her bladder stones have recurred. Surgery is likely on Thurs. I love her dearly, but geebus the bill. We are talking Disney vacation scale money here.

Really, can I get off this ride??

Paula -

Kat - hugs to you and the kitty. DGF and I have racked up some six-nites-someplace-nice bills on dogs and cats. I feel your fiscal pain and I feel your feline love. Good luck. What's your next half?

AFM - I'm still training for the WDW full marathon. The Kansas City half marathon is in a few weeks. Running it as a training run with lots of water stops! This weekend calls for 14 miles DGF and I were in St Louis last weekend. Her aunt is a nun and celebrated her 50 year Jubilee. There was cake!

I have a bunch of volunteer irons in the fire. neighborhood stuff, mentoring stuff, animal shelter stuff. Soon I may drive a thousand pairs of used shoes to Iowa.

Thanks Ronda!!

My next half is OBX on Nov 14th. Good luck on the KC half and the full training! Is 14 your longest so far?

Fun on the 50 year nun celebration, and yay on the volunteer stuff. I seem to have way overcommitted my "after school" activities lately (Choir, hockey, running, etc)... wish I had time to volunteer. I am afraid of the animal shelter, though, as I think I might wind up taking them all home!! .
