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

[AKASnowWhite]

OMG it's chunky monkey cake! .

Love the name.

Nancy - The horns are SO annoying! They sound like a swarm of wasps! They are banned in most stadiums over here, along with flags that are on flag poles! Also, some stadiums ban the England Band from going in with their instruments (A drum and some trumpets I think! )

After about 15 minutes of that racket, I could understand why some soccer crowds are so hostile!

So, how happy are the English soccer fans with your goalie today


I fell a little flat on my goals the past 2 days. I did drink my water, but didn't track and had a couple glasses of wine both nights. So, not a perfect week. But definitely an improvement over what my life has been!

And the good news is, I'm down 1.5 lbs from last Sunday. A step in the right direction!

I've been horrible with goals this week. The parents made us lunch and breakfast all this week. I tried to just nibble but it was hard. I was good about water. Won't be surprised if i'm up when I weigh in tomorrow.

I'm off to the Red Sox game with my family. I need this, I've been feeling off. I'm not sure if it's because of the wake I have to go to or just because a guy I was getting to know showed his real colors. I am turning off my phone and just enjoying.

Hi everyone.

I don't even have anything to report on goals for yesterday. I did a lot of drinking....aaaaand...WAIT! DANCING! I danced a lot at the birthday party last night. THat's got to count for something, right?!

Anyways, I promised you guys pictures, so here they are, as well as a couple of other cake pictures I don't think I've shown you guys yet.

I really like sunflowers. One more day of no internet and TV at home. Went to the Verizon store for a new phone cover and walked out with a netbook. It was a freebie since my plan was upgraded within the last 6 billing cycles. It is now Ryan's. Lots of rules with it and it is a chunk of his birthday in 2 months. Getting Taylor a personal DVD player for her birthday. My baby will be 6 this week.

awwwww



Cathie - fun cake pics. The fondant boot and hat were really cute!

So glad tomorrow is Monday. Back to a more normal routine for me. My weekends have been really throwing me off track!

 

[adsrtw]

Seriously! Missing post! Grr. Here is the recap that I can remember:

Cathie - do you use any fillings?

I'm swimming thanks to all the water I am consuming. I'm so over it, but I know it is necessary. Insert kicking and screaming. My daughter announced that she wants a 3 tier cake for her birthday.

Hopefully this post saves and keeps the spacing.

I have in the past-a couple of the cakes in my pictures did have fillings. The rest just had frosting in between layers. I make a MEAN strawberry filling

Good morning everyone! It's Monday so that means a new week. Time to turn the page.

Yesterday u had two picnics to go to. That was rough food wise - ugh. Today I am off to a golf outing for work ( nice way to start a week at work). Here's hoping I hit well. Then it is off to JC and the gym followed by crashing and sleeping I'm sure.

make it a good one everyone!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

That said, I was like how random is THAT one EE??

Yes! That would be totally random!


Nancy, yay on the loss!!

Thanks. It's giving me a bit of momentum going into this week

Today I am off to a golf outing for work ( nice way to start a week at work).

That sounds like fun Paula. Kind of makes Monday not so evil


This is the last week of school for my kids - final exams this week. Becca has 2 today, Nate has none so he gets to sleep in I hate finals week, and I'm not even the one taking the exams!

Morning...I am here. Barely. Catching up. Seems like that is all I am ever doing these days.

Morning All.

Busy weekend,
Went to the hotel I work for with the girls and all of DH's family for a runion weekend. DH was not there, he worked this weekend.
Had a good time with the girls, I did run Sat & Sun, not sure how far, about 30 mins, so 2-2.5 ish miles.


I hope everyone had a good weekend. !! Happy Monday

 

[HockeyKat]

Thank God for tracking my weight through here. I was a bit discouraged with the scale this AM and then went back and looked through the beginning of last week, and realized that I am down 2 lbs. Was 187.2 this AM.

Paula, have fun at your golf outing!

Still waking up. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

E - I empathize. I can barely keep my head above water some days. Summer is coming soon - hopefully the schedules will slow down a bit and you'll get some quality pool & lake time!

Jo - ok. wow. You deserve some kind of special award for going to your husbands family reunion without him

Kat - on the loss!

tracking today and my water consumption is going well too!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Thanks Nancy, it was not so bad, cuz I had to watch the girls!!, If they wanted to go to the pool I had to go with them, that kept me out of the room ALOT

BUT..... now they are at my house for the rest of the week.


Kat, I love that you post what your eating, it gives me ideas and HOPE that I can stay with in points also! Great job on the 2 lbs!!

 

[cathie1327]

Good morning ladies!!! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!!!!

Yesterday was a pretty productive day, despite my hungovered-ness

we got all the laundry finished, unpacked a TON, and even finished our Mickey collage puzzle we've been working on for months. Bathroom and kitchen both completely clean, and all the floors vaccumed. I was one tired cookie last night lol.

Today-brought my lunch. DETERMINED to get two bottles of water down today. No matter WHAT. I'm going to make sure to take my water bottle with me to all my meetings today; that should help. I tend to drink more water when I'm bored

Hi Everyone!

Super quick fly-by from me - its the commercial break in the Series Finale of Glee!

My goals are still going ok, I won't say wonderful because that would be kidding myself, but im getting there! How is everyone else doing?

Nancy - The media crucified our goalie! The thing with the media over here is that they are rabid. Even if we had won the headline would have been 'England win but....'

Kat - Please keep posting your food, im getting some great ideas!

Paula - How did JC go?

EE, E, Cathie, Jo, Meg, everyone - Hi!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[HockeyKat]

Kelly, enjoy Glee!!

Man, I am tired today. Not sure why. Life suck from work, maybe.

I have to eat dinner at my desk, so although I haven't eaten dinner yet, posting food anyhow (thanks to everyone btw!!).

B: 1/2 cup tj fiber ceral (60), mini-moo + water (10), coffee
L: Stouffers Combo Meal - Roast Beef & Swiss Melt + broccoli cheddar soup (400)
S: Strawberries and Pineapple (100), 4 almond M&Ms (50)
D: Lean Cuisine Mushroom Tortelloni + added steamed chopped zucchini/onion/mushroom/eggplant (300), cottage cheese/peach/fiber double (100)

Water, 54 oz so far, will drink 32 oz at choir
Exercise, none. Exchanged tomorrow's rest day for today, sore.

BUT..... now they are at my house for the rest of the week.

OMG I'll pray for you

Yesterday was a pretty productive day, despite my hungovered-ness

ouch. Clearly you are not a vampire....

Nancy - The media crucified our goalie! The thing with the media over here is that they are rabid. Even if we had won the headline would have been 'England win but....'

Yeah, I was thinking that poor guy would need extra security guards

Did you enjoy Glee? We recorded it, and I only saw part of it. I'll watch it later this week when I have time.

That's funny. As if I'll have time

Exercise, none. Exchanged tomorrow's rest day for today, sore.

Probably a very smart move!

I went to the gym today and had a fairly decent strength workout. Of course my smarty pants son showed up and said I wasn't doing anything "challenging enough". Bite me kid.

Food thus far today has been good. Water good. Alcohol avoided. So I'm calling today a "win".
