Kim's new and improved life journal!

Sorry to hear about the dentist visit...... Going to the dentist is my least favorite thing to do in the world. :(

You are doing a great job getting back into the running groove! Way to go!:cool1:

Have a great Thursday!
 
Hey guys! How about a round of drinks for Marie's bday today??

ALABAMA slammers for everyone!! :goodvibes

I wasn't able to run this morning, since it snowed all day yesterday and overnight it became a sheet of ice on the roads. Today it warmed up some and I think the roads are all cleared. I plan on getting out there tomorrow morning, and then Sunday to finish off the week. :thumbsup2 The rest of my plan (abs/arms/walking at lunch) hasn't happened too much this week, but I'll get there. I know I will.

I'm thinking about ditching Nancy once and for all. Yes, I guess my every 8 weeks weigh-in helps keep me on track somewhat...but I don't know. I feel like I get back on strict, strict diet-like-crazy plan for the 3-4 weeks before I weigh in, and then I completely lose control after my weigh in for those few weeks. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm such a hypocrite sometimes. Winter really is the hardest time for me. Spring/summer/fall I know that I will be out there running and then I find my balance with eating and all is good. It's the winter when I fall off the running wagon that I honestly need the weigh-in's. Any thoughts out there?? :confused3

One last note for tonight....

Sunday is my DD Emilie's 8th birthday. Holy cow, did that time fly by!! She's my oldest and I honestly don't remember life before her. She drives me crazy, but also melts my heart. :love: I'll post a pic of her after her parties. Oh yes, she's having multiple. DH's and my families are big, so we split them up to 2 nights. His is Sunday, mine is Monday. Then her friend/rollerskating party is the following Saturday (St. Patty's Day). So she's got a week full of fun. :dance3:
 
I've never had an Alabama Slammer, but I'm sure that will change very soon!!!
Thanks for the b-day wishes...today was a good one....no...a great one!!!!

Regarding Nancy....I think you are strong enough, and smart enough to know what to do to stay on track. You like how you feel, and how you look....just stick w/ what you know! I have faith that you can do it w/out Nancy!!!

Ok girl....I'm gonna go chill!!!! Thanks again for bein' there....love ya!~

marie
 
Thanks, Marie. I think I'm set on stopping Nancy & finding my own balance with food/exercise.

Speaking of exercise....I didn't get up this morning to run, but I did walk for 60 minutes at lunch!! It felt SO good to get out there in the cold air & move around for a while! And the scenery doesn't hurt either *cough*military men*cough*:rolleyes1 . I decided revamp my running challenge a bit and made it my walking/running challenge and added 400 minutes to the goal. That way I can track my lunch walks too! :goodvibes

Have a great day, and a wonderful weekend, guys! :hug:
 

Never had an alabama slammer either!!
Happy birthday Marie :)
Hope DD dentists appointments arent to traumatic for her!
Have a super weekend & Happy Birthday to DD 8 :)
 
Hey guys!

I woke up and ran this morning. It was BEAUTIFUL out there! I ended up running a little more than I was supposed to for week 3 of the program, but I felt good...and if I had more time I might've kept on going. (I used to love those runs :goodvibes )

I don't think Janine's doing too well. She called me crying around 5pm and asked me to watch her son while her husband went up to be with her since she started bleeding again. So my kids and I went over there until Janine's sister came & picked up her son to take overnight. Please keep Janine in your prayers. :guilty:
 
Hey all! I actually did it! I actually woke up EARLY to go out & run. I am REALLY proud of myself for doing it.
:

GO KIM GO! you are doing awesome--if only i could move in with you and you can make me run ;)

DS gets the clean bill of health. DD's not so lucky. She has 8 cavities!!!

O poor Em!!!!

ALABAMA slammers for everyone!! :goodvibes

FIRST--YAY for alabama s lammers--o man, had a shot of that last night--yummmmm

I think ditching nancy may be good. You drive yourself crazy a week or so b efore weighin--we can be your nancy :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the scenery doesn't hurt either *cough*military men*cough*

Now THAT would get me running--have you passed out any of my "business" cards yet :rolleyes1
So when is it bring jen to work day?

I don't think Janine's doing too well. She called me crying around 5pm and asked me to watch her son while her husband went up to be with her since she started bleeding again. So my kids and I went over there until Janine's sister came & picked up her son to take overnight. Please keep Janine in your prayers. :guilty:

Prayers for janine...keep us updated!
 
Jen - you are TOO funny!!! :laughing: Thanks for posting, buddy!

Without getting into the details, Janine's not doing well. The baby will probably be born any day now. :guilty:

Please bring the prayers, pixie dust, anything you got.

I hate to bring this up after just posting that....but I have good news. We booked a WDW trip for November!! (Jersey week, of course :) ) We're gonna be there 11/7 - 11/14 - and the BEST part is...it's gonna be a surprise for the kids!!! (hopefully it'll work). Our flight is early afternoon, so they won't be going to school at all that day - they'll just think they are the night before! I guess that day, we'll have to tell them when they wake up...unless someone can think of how we can get around it until we pull up at the airport. :confused3

Nite, all!
 
:hug: Kim,

We're keeping Janine in our thoughts and prayers. Please update us when you can.:hug:

That's great that you booked a trip to WDW!:banana: We surprised our kids with a trip a few years ago and it was so much fun keeping it a secret and then surprising them at the last minute. :yay:

Hope you have a good Monday!:cool1:
 
Hey Kim!!

I'm all for some eye candy while running...my problem I would probably be drooling too much and trip or run into something!!

I love Alabama Slammers - whoo hoo!! Not that great on the thighs though....


Sorry to hear about the dentist...DH and I are probably not too great in that department either...I guess I should look into scheduling my 4 year old for her first visit...yuck!

Keep up the good work exercising...I am not sure I could brave the elements!
 
Hi Kim
Hope Janine is doing ok. :hug:
Well done for geting the trip booked :banana:
Cant you tell the kids they've got to go to the dentist or something like that????
 
hey kim....hope all is well w/ janine and the baby. :wizard:

WDW in November......hhhmmmmm.........wonder if I'll fit in the suitcase?
Hopefully I'll be closer to WDW by then!

Have a great evening!
marie
 
So while im running..this is what i am going to wear..

Goodnight :)
 
Welcome back, V!! It's so great to "see" ya!! I knew I liked you for a reason....we have alabama slammers in common!! :goodvibes Once I have a couple, I'm not worried about my thighs anymore. :rotfl:

Tracy - I may need your help with the whole surprise thing! I have NO idea how I'm supposed to pack!! I just keep telling myself that they are gonna FREAK out when it actually happens. Hopefully I can keep it a surprise!

Tracey - the dentist is a good one!! They'd be all upset & then that would make the excitement even better!! GREAT idea! (I like how your mind works...:laughing: )

Marie - By November you could be invisible if you keep losing at the rate you're losing!! :eek: But if you're within driving distance....you might just have to come on over for some Jersey Week fun! :dance3:

Jen - I have no idea where you got that shirt, but you're just plain ol' NUTS!!! Although, it might work!! :thumbsup2

Today was an ok day. Janine hung in there...still pregnant - so that's good. Everything's still touch & go, but I actually talked to her on the phone (we usually just IM each other every day) and she sounded positive and ok with what's going on. Work for me is just crazy. I have to find more things I can delegate to the temp so that I can focus on the more important reports I'm required to do. If you have any pixie dust to spare...I'm hoping for a permanent job at the facility where I work (that sounds like horrible english :rolleyes: ). There are rumors floating around that it may be a possibility, but I'll have to bid on my job. So WISH me luck! :thumbsup2 (Janine would be up for the same thing (not fighting for the same job - 2 open positions)...so we both need luck on this one)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to run before work for about a month, because of that darn daylight savings time. It's now pitch black until 7am, which is just too late for me to run. So I have to find other times twice a week to run (weekend shouldn't be an issue). I was able to go out & walk for another 60 minutes at lunch today. I went by mystelf today. Just me & my MP3. That way I could have some mental time to clear my head.

I guess that's it for now. Thanks for stickin' with me, guys! :hug:

Good luck with your job situation!:wizard:

I too have recently discovered the beauty of the MP3 player. It makes the time go by so quickly and keeps all those busy, multitasking thoughts out of my head so I can enjoy the run! :banana:

Goodnight :)

:rotfl: I want one!!! :)

Kim - :wizard: for the job, good luck :goodvibes
:wizard: for Janines job
:wizard: :wizard: for janine & the baby :)

I'm afraid i have to own up on the dentist idea! I actually got it from an episode of the simpsons, they told Bart & Lisa they were going to the dentist & then took them to military school!! :lmao:
At least your kids will get a nice suprise ;)
Have you altered the clocks in the US???
We dont do ours for about another 2 weeks!
 
ok, now we ALL need shirts!! ;)

:rotfl: :rotfl: You guys are SO funny! I bought that shirt last year in the fall at Kohls...sorry ladies!! :headache:

Thanks for all of the positive thoughts for all the crap I'm going through (and Janine too).

I'm not sure when running is gonna work out for me. Tomorrow I might pick up my sister and have her come stay with the kids so I can go out for a run after work. The mornings can't work b/c it's too dark (and scary :scared1: :laughing: ) and lunchtime I'm enjoying my walking (and not sweating & showering). So that only leaves after work & weekends. DH works WAY too much, so he's not available to help on the weekends, but maybe my sister will help out a day or two. We'll see how it goes. I'll get the runs in somehow...even if I have to get back on that )*&&^%^#%^% treadmill. :sad2:


Tracey - yes, we moved our clocks ahead on 3/11. I assumed everyone did it at the same time. Doesn't that mess with the time differences around the world then? :confused3
