The Ghoulies are taking off the pounds in February!!! (Page 13)

So the weight challenge is going to be difficult for me this week. We're taking the fam to Disneyland in 2 days. My parents and ,y sister and 3 nieces are going with us, too.

Uh-oh, hard weight loss times ahead TOPpage ^^^^

Wow, it's that quiet time of night, isn't it? I'm heading out to go to the last coached run clinic. See you guys tomorrow!

Yipers!  9:00 and I'm just checking in!

Looks like another interesting albeit entertaining day in the village.  Can't wait to see what Wednesday brings

Hey Ghoulies! Thanks for the laughs while I caught up this evening. 2 days in the books for February, and well into 16 pages. Go Team!

There is no way I can go back and reply to everything I found interesting, but here are a few thoughts:

Kim: Awesome suit! I also think those swim caps sound sweet. Can't wait to see some race pics with one of them featured.

Bill: Great pics from around Buffalo. Also, good call on the "Kiss my argh." Can't wait to hear how that one goes over! Also, what's the idea for your tattoo? Do you have a sketch?

Stacie: Funny how we did the same workout today. Must have been a good day for 3 miles and some light ST. Also, rockin necklace!

Ann: If you don't feel comfortable being the Toppage Queen, I think the Toppage Jester is a suitable substitute. Way to keep the pages rolling.

Melindy: You are psychotic. Plain and simple. How you fit so much into your day ON TOP of medical school and still manage that much sleep is beyond me. You're my hero!

Jules: I cringed when I read about your crash and the damage to your bike. I am just thankful that you are OK. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better today, and I hope this cold is no big deal. Get well!

Robin: How you can resist napping with your bed staring at you all day while you work is remarkable. Your work ethic must be outstanding!

Neal: I wanted to do RAGBRAI the whole time I was in college but I didn't have a bike and I had to be in school full time in the summer. If you can do it, go for it! Maybe GU can invent a beer or pie flavored gel to help you get through IMMOO a little easier.

Amy: Have a blast in DisneyLand. I got to take the kids in August and had a great time. Make sure you log your walking, because there is PLENTY of that in your near future!

If there's anyone/anything I missed, I'm sorry. I hope everyone is having a good week so far, and hopefully I will be able to contribute to the banter a bit tomorrow. Have a good night all!

Haha...yes psychotic...haha...

Just finished swimming...and made my lunch for tomorrow...now I'm reading my book...(all of this involves not studying for cardio)...so tomorrow my plan is: wake up around 730-8...go to school...run for 45min...go study till 3 (eat)...go to small group learning till 430ish...eat...go swimming....go home...go to bed...

I made an awesome salad for tomorrow...wooo!!!

I'm finally getting a chance to catch up and I see one of my favorite meals!

But ours was pretty good too.  New turkey crockpot recipe with corn and asparagus on the side.  And spinach, lettuce, mushroom, tomato salad to start!

Had a fun bike ride today.  57* dry and no wind.  Beautiful. 

And now it is time for me to get some sleep myself. 

Good night Ghoulies.

I think they start it here in second grade. The stories I typed were printed but there were lots of misspellings and punctuation errors, plus sometimes they just didn't make sense. I was given liberty to help them along anyway I saw fit. As someone who used to write short stories I did just that.

I worked on the music list but didn't get it completed. 200 CD's plus 1300 songs in iTunes takes longer than one expects. I'm still working on it though.

I only ever buy beef or pork near the end of fall when we have run out. The home grown stuff tastes SOOOOO much better than the stuff in the store. We used to butcher a lot more, sell it to people who wanted but it got to be too time consuming. One year every week for 12 weeks we were cutting up meat. No one was happy about that. My FIL has started selling it to people and they're responsible for cutting it themselves, most take it to a butcher shop. Last year he sold 2 whole cows, he trailered them to the butcher shop for the people. LOTS LESS WORK FOR US!

I hope you can find someplace!

I made t-bones on the grill last night. I had chicken though. We eat steak pretty often. I'm not a big fan of a roast.

Umm... I can park the car or carry bags. I'm not even allowed to pick out clothes for myself so I don't think I'm allowed to help anyone else. 2 years ago I went out to CA to visit my sister for her birthday. We went shopping and she'd just hand me stuff and tell me I was buying it, too girly for me. If you want girly clothes take her.

Last year, for my birthday, I was down 2 sizes and my favorite person in the world took me shopping. She'd hand me things and make me try them on, I don't usually do that. Her picks were more my style though.

I used to go baggy, trying to hide the fat, which of course baggy only made it worse. Neither of them would let me go baggy. I used to wear men's jeans, too. They were just more comfortable. Now my Levi's are women's.

If ya got the swimmers arms, then SHOW 'EM!!!

I like it!

NICE!!!

Thanks Robin. It was snowing at my house last night so we just stayed home and had steaks. Maybe next time. Or I could just bring a pizza.

Glad to hear you're not that sore Jules.

I ran 5, because no one told me we were only running 3 so you can have the extra 2 miles.

Seriously... do you have some way you stop time so you can fit everything into 1 day?

I have heard that turkey legs and ice cream sandwiches have 0 calories if you consume them at a Disney theme park.

Have fun!

That's GREAT Dee!

Wednesday morning TOPPAGE!!!

Good morning all!!!

Just popping in to say good morning!

Hi Neal

anticipating a FANTABULOUS day today!


hoping to catch up w a friend over coffee

and get some much needed work done for Joseph this AM.

then heading up to the Y for a short swim

then back down to meet a friend for lunch.

WOO!

and btw, im gonna look SMOKIN' doin it all.  sometimes its just nice to ditch the tri gear, put on makeup, do your hair and get dressed up    

i found this uber cool, 'floaty' vest thingy at American Eagle of all places (perfect size, perfect shade) that goes over my form fitting shirt, just to 'soften' things up a bit all the while remaining 'edgy'

i think i just might be finding myself.
