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

[cantwaitvaca09]

Hi everyone!

So nice to see the return of good friends here. Welcome back E and EE.

Not much going on here other than I am in a funk this week. Not sure where my motivation to eat right and exercise went but I just don't have it. This is freaking me out because I see myself heading towards the old me and I just don't have that fire inside of me to stop it. So I am reaching out to you all for help. I am need of some serious motivation. Sigh....


Hope everyone has a great Halloween. I am heading out so that I am not near the candy.

Paula, the only thing I can say is that I understand, I diet sucks, and it has this whole year. The one thing the keeps me going is the princess. If you read back when I first posted my DH laughed at me when I told him I was going to do the princess. Now that I have run/walk 9 and ran 5 miles he's not laughing now!!! I want to do better with the diet, I set mini goals durring the week, no pop Mon-Fri, bring more then buy, I got frozen chicken breast that I can cook at work on the geroge formen..

Can you find a race to look forward to, train for??
Just know that you are not alone!!!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Jo, I can relate too... my diet has sucked royally over the last few months and my clothes and scale are reflecting that. You can't out-train a bad diet, right?

100% on right now, and hoping to keep it that way.

I am registering for the Princess today before it goes up in price, so definitely in.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Kat, I am very happy to hear you are in for the princess.
I did add you to the dinner reservation at Epco friday night hopeing you would come!!!

4 months is going to go fast!

Happy Halloween everyone!

SO nice to be catching up with everyone.

Yup, I have been way off with my eating, too. Summer ran into soccer season which is now running into holiday season and I have to put on the brakes. So I am back on right now and seem to be handling all of the temptations well. I KNOW how good I feel when I am down, so I am just focusing on that.

Yes, I am in for the Princess. It is on my list for this week to deal with. Make DVC reservations and all of that. I think, actually, I have already done that? Have to go check. I am coming in on Saturday, race is on Sunday, play with Team Goddess through Wednesday and then Jeff and the kids arrive Thursday. Sounds like a plan, eh?

I am registering today to save the $10.

I am planning on leaving here on Friday, and staying through some point in the week, likely Tues or Wed AM. I have tentative plans for at least one passenger (a friend from my running club), maybe 2. We may drive straight through on Friday, or we may either find a hotel on the way down or stay with my aunt near Brunswick, and therefore leave after work.


Jo, I may or may not make Fri night dinner, but leave me on the ressie just in case.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I am planning on coming in on Friday home on Monday.
I have not booked my flight yet. Meg and are sharing a room at CBR.

Kat I will leave you on the ressie, let me know you do make it in for dinner and you are with friends I will want me to add them too.

Hey ladies, I'm absolutely exhausted from this weekend. I ended up going out at the last minute last night with a group for Halloween. (I dressed as a French maid... it wasn't as revealing as it sounds.) And then got up at 8am for my 5k. Ran it in about 29 minutes. I'm wiped so I'll really check in tomorrow with maybe a few good stories.

Sounds like everyone had a great weekend. Tomorrow is November! Crazy!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Well I have eaten way more candy then I wanted to and am feeling guilty and like total crap. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Someone please give me a good kick in the bum!

Oh, How I wish there was a karate-chopping-ninja smiley

But it's a new day, a new week, a new month. A perfect time to take care of just you. I want to know about your weekend! Anything fun?


I have the day off from work today AND....I have nothing that I must do until 7:00 tonight so. Workout this morning, grocery shopping, beginning to get my house under control after this insane fall. That's pretty much my agenda for the day.

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! I registered for the Princess last night too. I'm going to do a run walk combo again. Hopefully I won't get stopped by the medics again!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

GAH! Am I the only one who has not yet registered????

 

[HockeyKat]

GAH! Am I the only one who has not yet registered????

You missed the deadline for the extra $10 hike...

That is what prompted me to register last night instead of later in the year.

EE, I am definitely doing a run/walk combo. My goal is to do 2/1s and hang with my friend Micki from my running club, who is in my pace group. You are more than welcome to pace with us, and even virtual train if you'd like?

Speaking of training, off to the gym for 2-3 miles. Will check in again later.

I am here to hang my head in the weight loss hall of shame... In the past month and a half I have lost and gained over ten pounds (mostly gained). OMG - how have I let this happen? Sigh....

Nancy - you are right. It is a new week and time for a new start. Even Jessie was at a bit of a loss trying to figure out what is going on with me. So I am starting all over and going back to basics. While I may not be doing the 1/2, I am going to commit to training and eating right as if I were. I just am not going to train for endurance though. I am looking for intervals over shorter distances instead to get my metabolism up.
Plus I am going to start posting food. I need accountability and I know I can find that here. Nancy - get out that whistle. I give you permission to use it on me!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - get out that whistle. I give you permission to use it on me!

While I'm so sorry that you are struggling, I'm always happy to help where I can


I am SO overwhelmed with the whole college search process. OMG. Seth drove me crazy - but that was because he knew exactly what he wanted, and there was no Plan B. Nate - well, he is so up in the air about so many things. It makes it so freakin' stressful. gah. I just haven't had the "this is it" feeling yet.

 

[HockeyKat]

Paula, you have no reason to hang your head in shame. 10 lbs is just a bump in the long road you have travelled.

I would post what I have gained in the last 3 months but it's well above 10 lbs, and I really am too ashamed to even think about it. Just moving forward, at this point.

If you want me to start posting food with you, I would be glad to. I might just cut and paste from the tracking program I use so it will be a bit weird, though?

I did 2 miles at lunch in 24:07, along with .6 or so of warmup/cooldown walk. Shins seem to be still holding up okay, so that's good news. I am definitely slower than I was before the Chicago half, but, well, back to that weight gain thing.

Nothing like two of you pissing me right off to make me post.

SHAME!!!! Come on - both of you. I know you both have goals but come on. Frankly, I'm sick of it - JUST SCK OF IT - for women in general - not strictly raggin' on you two. (And don't give me it's just a word you used lightly - I HATE this beating up (even in jest)- and especially you Ms. Paula - your FB profile pic made me smile and smile and smile......)

And Jo - if I hear you call yourself fatty one more friggin' time I'll be back here in a flash. (yes be scared - laughing)

Okay, done.

Love to all.

 

[HockeyKat]

Yay, Lisa came out to play!! Hmm, now I know what to do to get you to come out of lurkdom...

 

[goofyfan-12]

Lisa -I am proud of what I accomplished. I am pissed because I feel like I am standing in this abyss and the old me us screaming for me to throw un the towel and jump to my a life filled with my old ways. You know I am not about a number on a scale or a size on a label and more if a state of mind kind of gal. So when the state of mind is in jeopardy I get nervous and pussed since I am the only one who can really stop me from jumping.

However, it is good to see you here...
