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

[poppinspal]

Nancy- Call is in, waiting for her to call back. Thank you!

As of today I'm a teacher in a younger classroom. I think this will be a good change for me. We will see.

Did a long run of 5 miles this weekend, unfortunately due to a crazy schedule I ended up just doing it on the treadmill. (My dad didn't want me running on the road so late at night.) But it felt good! I'm on a running mission.

How was everyone's long weekend?

HI All,
I have to say not being able to post or read the boards at work
SUCKS

Anyway: Run Club tonight, not sure how many miles. Lot of Sprints and stuff around the high school track. Oh and then the bleachers.
Legs are tight and I am slow out there , but I LOVED IT!

Hi team!

Back from Vegas and well rested. The trip was simply wonderful. I promise a full trip report with pics. Would have done it tonight but I left the cord for my camera at work. Didn't win big, but won enough that I only spent about $200 total on food and gambling total for the entire trip and trust me, we ate well. Wolfgang Puck's Spago at Caesar's Palaace was just incredible!

Went to JC tonight and gained 1.8 pounds over the lady month. Not too bad but not great either.

My friend's wedding was simply beautiful. I teared up a bit but then so did a lot of us. Lots of stories to tell but it will have to wait for the pics.

Speaking of pics, did I hear that Kelly and her friends are out in dresses and fascinators? You know how I love a good fascinator...

Jo - take care of that foot and I'll try to get a photo of my necklace for you.

Hope our fellow goddesses are having fun in the World.

G'nite...

I'm in an absolutely horrible mood tonight and I can't pin down exactly why. Just one of those moods where I start off in a bad mood and every little thing bothers me.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Paula. I Am so happy you had a great time. OMG you so needed it!!

Meg, Could it be PMS?? Hope today is better

This will be my only post til after work. Fing IT

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Paula!!! I can't wait for the TR!

Meg - I hate it when I get in moods like that. Hope today is better.

ToM came a bit early and I feel nasty. <ugh> I'm hoping that a good workout will help me today. I'm back to setting daily goals. Today - eating mindfully and getting plenty of water. Ask me tonight how I did, ok?

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great Labour Day!

My name is EE and I am buzzed with the DIS'ers.

Kelly - how was ladies night?

Its tomorrow! Bouncy castle party was fun - yes I got injuries, yes I bounced straight off the castle onto the floor
I have a lovely graze on my elbow and a nice bruise on my leg, which luckily enough is high enough that my dress tomorrow will cover it - did you expect anything less

Nancy- Call is in, waiting for her to call back. Thank you!

How was the first day in your new classroom Meg?

Can't wait for the trip report! I'd love to go to Vegas!

Thats not bad considering the Vegas trip!

You did indeed! I will post pictures - I'll get my mum to take a close up of the fascinator!

I hate those moods. I had one today at work. No-one could do right for doing wrong - EVERYTHING annoyed me!

Hope everyone is having a great day! Early night for me - up early in the morning for Ladies Day!

So Nancy, how did you do???

Kelly, I thought you were NOT going to drink before you went into the bounce castle.


No run today 1 mile walk at lunch


DRUM ROLL PLEASE......... I signed up for the 15K in November. I am crazy.
I know I can do 3 miles. I am going to see if I can push to 5 this weekend.
I have less than 8 weeks to get to 9.3. I want to finish the race, but I signed up because I will never know until I try and I till be a good test for the 1/2
So Goddess, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Cross your fingers for me that the RUNNING ANGELS help me pull of 9+ miles.

Do you think I am nuts

 

[AKASnowWhite]

So Nancy, how did you do???

well, I did really great up until dinner time, when I had a hankerin' for a glass of wine. So, I did. Other than that, I fared pretty well. Thanks for asking Jo!


Do you think I am nuts

well, since you asked....

Really though - I think you will be just fine in the 15K. You can definitely finish it. Just stick to your training plan as best you can and you'll do great!

Kiddos have the day off from school tomorrow for Rosh Hashanah. Typically that means a busy day at the orchard.

 

[poppinspal]

Attempting to get up for a 5:45am workout class tomorrow so I'm off to bed early without responding.

I am down 2.6 pounds from last week so I think I've finally got myself back together. It's on.

Feel a bit better today, I'll really check in tomorrow after class.

 

[poppinspal]

Paula- Can't wait to hear about your trip in detail!

Kelly- I love that you got bruised in the bouncy house... only because that's totally something that would happen to me!

Jo- Just keep working at it and you will get there. You have to believe that if you keep working hard that it will pay off. I know sometimes it seems like it won't but it will! You'll get there!

Nancy- I'd say one glass of wine isn't too bad. A bottle and then we might have to talk.

I had a 5:45am Piyo class(a mix of pilates and yoga) with my one of my favorite instructors today. It was amazing, such a good workout for my muscles. I feel stronger already.

Oh and Kelly thanks for asking about the new class. It's made me feel a little less jaded about what I do. My new co-teacher is a better worker(though she needs reminders to do stuff but that's not a big deal) and I feel less stressed. I feel less stressed which is good because I got to the point where I was dreading work every day.

With that said I'm off to cook up some lunch and head in a bit early. It's almost Friday!!!

well, technically it was only one GLASS....the problem was more in the number of refills

I had kind of a "Last Supper" mentality last night. Tomorrow morning I meet with Erin to formulate a plan of attack, so I think my indulgances were sort of a last hurrah.

So glad you are liking the job again! Makes for a much happier Meg, I'm sure. What did you hear from the Dr?

Setting daily goals again today. 1) no alcohol 2) eat only the food I bring with me at work today 3) water.water.water.

It has been a while since i have posted here.

I don't even remember what my last weight I posted was, but I have lost a total of 40 pounds so far!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Awesome weight loss! Congrats!

How many refills? A whole bottles worth? lol

I don't blame you for a last hurrah. You'll have to let us know how the meeting goes. And how you did on your daily goals. I need to get back to doing that.

Oh forgot the doctors report. Taking some more medicine to see if it will clear the lingering cough. I actually have noticed some improvement so we'll see where I am in a week.

Jo- I miss your posts!

Hi everyone else!

Laying down having a little rest before my 7:30 workout class and then my 10:00 hockey. Some how I also have to fit in some good eating there too so I have energy for the day.

I did well. Had a good bike ride. No wine, no pie I ate only the food I packed for lunch today. No apple crisp, no cookies (I made 4 kinds plus brownies and lemon bars), nothing. My water was so-so, but on the whole it was a good day. Tomorrow morning I meet with Erin

Finally getting to work on my Vegas trip report. It should be up before I go to bed tonight. Provided that photobucket cooporates of course...

Feeling really bloated and yucky tonight. Of course I'm sure the pizza I had for lunch has nothing to do with that...

I bought lunch for my team since we totally aced our audit last week. Our client has an ISO 9000 certification for quality and gets routinely audited by an independent auditor to ensure our compliance. Our job was picked as the example project and the auditor left very impressed with our operations. For the first time in three years, there were no action items found as a result of their review. Whoo hoo to my team! They are the best.

Talk to you all in a bit...

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Yay for some good news at work for a change Paula! All your effort has paid off

Looking forward to the TR! So excited to hear all about it!
