hello ladies! obviously, i did not make it back here yesterday for the personals i promised (shame on me!). i had an awful attack of pms/wonky stomach and laid around doing a lot of nothing once i got home from work! i got my auntie flow this morning, so hopefully i will be feeling better.
so, on to personals...taa daa!
christine-thanks for your support. i know i did the right thing, but it's also nice to hear it. how was the health and wellness fair? sounds like fun! btw...wtg on getting to your minimum on the donations! i hope you far surpass what you want to raise. what a great cause. nbf is sales director for a company that sells oncology equipment to hospitals. he does a lot of work with cancer charities and used to be a radiation therapist in england.
kath-yeah, i'm going to hawaii the scond week of july. i've never been but heard it's positively gorgeous. can't wait! i'd love to take you with me...just stow away in my suitcase! omg...i HATE doing the washing! i could not imagine having to do one load every day let alone FIVE!!! i think i would cry.
gloria-new bf is pretty great. as a lot of these gals know, i have been through a lot with x-df and it's nice to be in a positive, healthy relationship. i see you did bosu blast. i really like it and find i always have a great w/o when i do it.
wt-aloha! yes, hawaii bound i will be. come with!!! contract testing is basically doing the cases that were "left over" from the end of the year. i don't have any for the schools i am at, but sometimes, for one reason or another, the psychologists don't get to the later cases, so the department will pay whoever wants to do them during the summer. it's decent money although, this particular case is going to take me triple the time of most because it's pretty involved. the kid is great and i don't mind, but i hope to negotiate some extra cash-ola for it since i will be going in again today and could be going in more if needed! usually, it's a one day thing that takes me about three hours from assessment to scoring to writing the report. not this one! grrrr.
jackie-i could tell from the very first moment that the cheetahs were WAY MORE than a running check-in. i have received such wonderful advice on SO MANY things from everyone. is it as hot and humid in TN as it is here? i am dying, but that's living in GA for you!
gloria-i also have all jari's stuff. i don't mind her, but i do get annoyed about the "burning 100% carbohydrates" thing. i do agree that she is very skinny, but that's her deal. i have been doing nrolw and loving it, but before, i found times when i reached for a jari w/o just to change things up.
wendi-wtg on making the next step in "finding your bliss." i know, even back from the clean eating check in a year ago, that you have been searching for another career. i am so glad you are taking that step and am here to support you 100%!
wendy-lol about dvd w/o addicts anonymous. i think we could all join that support group. also, w/o enablers anonymous, cathe anonymous, forums anonymous, i-want-every-single-piece of equipment anonymous...sad that i could go on and on.
shelly-no, we did not make it to IJ yet. i have had a raging case of pms (i usually don't get it too badly, but this time it came with nausea and a bad stomach), but we will be seeing it soon. tonight, we have tickets for "mamma mia." i have hard it's a really fun show.
carole-YES! i am very happy to be doing nrolw again. i started from the beginning, so yesterday was w/o B1. i enjoy it and like that the w/o's are short but seem to be pretty effective for me.
judy-are you still loving nrolw? i can't wait to get to the next phases, but i did decide to start from the beginning since i was off it for about five weeks. i did w/o B1 yesterday. have you noticed a lot of changes? guess i better get my arse over to the alwyn check-in, huh?
dallas-did you make it without any tonadoes? i am like you, if i don't get it done in the morning, it probably won't get done. especially cardio. i never feel like doing cardio in the afternoon/evening.
yesterday was nrolw and i ended up doing iTread #20/35 min. i got in 4.37 mi., so i thought that was pretty good. bf did it as well and really liked his first iTread. he said he did a bit under jogger's speeds. i'm so proud of him as he hadn't run in a LOOOOONG time. he did do the london mary in 2000, but never ran consistently after that. you all know, i'll make him an iTread addict!
i am not sure what my workout will be today. something cardio. i am thinking step for a change, but maybe the ext. i have some time to decide.
so, i am REALLY frustrated about my dissertation. i am not going to go into it right now, but you all know i have "issues" with my dissertation chair/mentor. i am going to call my academic advisor today because i am really feeling like i need to change but i don't know if that's possible. i swear i would quit if i hadn't already spent SO MUCH time and money! as for how frustrated i am at this point...you know what this calls for:
