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

[poppinspal]

My computer is charging and I should be back to normal posts before I know it! I got in 8 miles Monday and felt great considering how exhausted I was when I started.

Work has been absolutely horrible and I'm so glad that these are my last days here.

I'll respond to more when I get my computer back on.

HI ALL,
I got my drinking shirt in yesterday!! I got my disney stuff in the mail today..
I can't wait!

I did 2 miles in 27 mins, this is a big deal for me that I ran every step.
The neighbor kept the girls for a half hour so I go run, it was 30* out, I had to run outside, I just had to. Even if it was for 2 miles, it felt great. Such a better head space outside than in.

I am thinking of doing 4 on my TM and out side for 7??? Not sure if I should try that on and early morning or just go to the gym and stay inside and play it safe??

30 days ALL and I am in DISNEY..

Kat, hows your trip today...

Cathie, what are you going to school for?

Rob, how are you feeling is the flu gone?

Have a great night all.. I am starving, I drank a muscle milk for dinner... I need food.. I can eat when I get to disney.. yes mind games with myself

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

OMG, where is everyone.... something I said????

Happy Hump Day!

I'm here Jo!

Crazy Costume Chaos. Oh my. I'm in over my head And the weather here is just insane. A new storm every few days. Yesterday the kids had a delayed opening yet again, and still another storm is headed here as we speak, leaving us with an additional predicted 4-8" of snow. And perhaps some sleet for good measure. yay.

I'm getting my workouts in though. My diet has been meh. Not bad, but apparently not good enough. I'm stuck. And my clothes don't fit. And it's making me angry

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Nancy so sorry about ur crazy schedule. i understand how the weart

Weather can bring u down.60 gdays til spring. Hope u have a better day

 

[HockeyKat]

Nancy, I do believe that you were asking for snow sometime a few months back?


Jo, trip is going great. Yesterday we slept in, had lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express in DTD, then drove to AK. Got there around 1:30, did Everest, Dinosaur, Safari, then both of the walking trails, and were out by 4:15 or so. Back to the resort, and then to Le Cellier for dinner. Unfortunately it poured on us for the walk to Epcot and back (they even suspended boat service), but we watched Illuminations from the balcony.

Today is HS, then lunch at Germany.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I got my run in despite the cold. 3.75 miles (as planned)...in 10* weather! Tomorrow is another major storm so I will hit the elliptical, and then Friday will be my long run. 9 miles? We'll see....

Hi Everyone!

Rob - Sorry about the flu, hope you feel better soon!

Kat - Even a rainy day in Disney is better than a dry day elsewhere! Loving the live TR!

Nancy - That is a LOT of snow - take care!

Everyone - Hi

So today is Wednesday, and that means WW.

I LOST 1LB for a total of 16lbs lost!

GOAL WEIGHT BABY!!!!!

I would have liked to have been prepared enough to have a long gushing speech ready, but that is so not me
However, I would like to say that its been a long journey, but I could not have done it without this thread and the support of everyone here who I now think of as friends - thank you Goddesses!

Hope everyone is having a great day

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Congrats Kelly. i am very happy for u

 

[lisaviolet]

GOAL WEIGHT BABY!!!!!

I ran to the computer when I realized that the time change meant - wait - I'm not waiting until tonight.

SMILING. BIG TIME. SO HAPPY. GOOD FOR YOU! SO PLEASED AND PROUD OF YOU I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WAY TO GO KELLY! GOAL WEIGHT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy Kelly.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Yay kelly!!!!!

So proud of you!!!!

 

[Ronda93]

Way to go, Kelly! You rock star!

Nancy, I vow never to complain about snow again. This has been a wild year for so many already. Hang on.

I need to run outside tomorrow morning. I have to. My feet are hurting in the strangest way. I'm hoping it's some weird repetitive motion thing. I have visited so many foot health sites and none have my symptoms. It aches in the rock pile of bones under the ankle. Almost the ankle, but still the foot. It doesn't hurt when I bounce on my toes. All I can think of is Kat's boot. Change is good.

Rob - hope you're bouncing back.
Meg - T minus, what, 2 days? See, change is good.
E - good run!
Kat - just jealous

bleh. I know. I was stupid and I'm sorry. There is a sign at a local church that says "whoever is praying for snow.....please stop"

Sorry about the rain kat

No kidding! While I'd prefer beautiful sunny weather, I'd take a downpour at Disney any day! Enjoy Kat. really.

It's here tonight. Looking at 6-10" where I am, a foot or more where my parents are at the shore. Did I mention I'm sorry I ever complained about the lack of snow?

GOAL WEIGHT BABY!!!!!

Awesome Kelly!! So awesome

SMILING. BIG TIME. SO HAPPY. GOOD FOR YOU! SO PLEASED AND PROUD OF YOU I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WAY TO GO KELLY! GOAL WEIGHT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I half expected to see a post from you that said: hit it boys! Followed by a "happy goal weight to you" song

(p.s. how's dad today?)

oh no Ronda! I really hope it's a nothing that feels like a something. (if that makes any sense at all)

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Oh! And in other news:

Nate got accepted at Clarkson. Decisions, decisions. Nice to have choices, but...

 

[goofyfan-12]

Kelly - Congrats!!! Such awesome news!!!

Paula. Hope a is well with u.

Jo - I doing alright. Work is insane st the moment (it wasn't supposed to be) and is totally kicking my @ss right now. My life is all about stress management at the moment. My workouts continue and provide some sense of normalcy. Now if only sleep would return to my life.... O how I miss thee.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Nancy, did it stop snowing? Congrats to Nate

Hi Paula, I was thinking about you. I understand work stress. Hang in there, I hope it gets better fast.

I ate like a pig today. Oh well what’s done is done, I did do 30 mins on elliptical starting at level 10 and going down every 3 mins. My leg felt that.

Tomorrow is hair do night, I have very long all one length hair and tomorrow I plan on cutting 2 inches and getting long layers. Wish me luck.
Good night all.

I'm sorry that work is so crazy. Stress can suck the ever-lovin' life out of you! I'm sure this winter weather isn't helping your cause any either. Has it impacted the job much? Or just the usual bureaucratic crap?

Tomorrow is hair do night, I have very long all one length hair and tomorrow I plan on cutting 2 inches and getting long layers. Wish me luck.

ooh! Exciting!

Another snow day here. For those of you keeping score, we had 1 holiday, 2 snow days & 1 delayed opening last week, and 1 snow day and 1 delayed opening this week. We've had the largest ever on record one day snowfall, the snowiest January on record AND January has also achieved the status of the snowiest month ever on record. And there is more snow forecast for Saturday.

I think I'll go buy new snow shovels. Murphy's Law should indicate that I won't need to use them, right?

Oh, it felt good to run outside this morning. About 20* with a light breeze. Just a few cars and fewer runners. I stuck to the streets until I reached suicide hill. Kids had created a "sled lane" on the trail and, while a little bumpy, it was good, forgiving surface. I did five miles. It was a little slower than recent runs, but who cares!?

Feet feel okay. I got the name of a foot specialist from my GP during my annual visit in November. My complaint from that time faded with new shoes. Later I find out the foot doc went to HS with a neighbor and did surgical work on a couple of other neighbors. New Year's Eve talk was EXCITING this year! I suspect it may take a while to get an appointment. I'll call and make one. If things clear up, I'll cancel.

Jo - good hair luck!

Nancy - it's nice to have options. I hope you can hear me in that pile of snow.
