Amarantha, you have our royal EARS, and our royal Hearts. Keep talking!
Well, this Princess certainly got her royal exercise yesterday. Four rectials - the reception for each being in a different building from the recital hall. Back and forth, BACK and FORTH! Next year (if I continue working at this place), I'm getting someone ELSE to do that part of it! Maybe a pool boy I can kiss in the kitchen? Hmmmmm! OK - last week was an exercise wipe out. So, today begins anew. 280 minutes. And I am going to do one week of Weight Watcher's flex - journaling every bite, and drinking the required water. I will post here mine progress each day. The exercise wiill have to be done with videos or at the gym. I had an allergy attack (like complete with wheezing) after my outside walking this week. OK - off to plan the meals for the kingdom. Then a treck to the Farmer's market (after taking the Claritin), and then a trip to the gym. DH, who is also a piano teacher, is having his ADULT party tonight. Lots of wine, lots of cheese and stuff. I think I'll take the dog and rent a video to watch in our bedroom. Somehow, that dinna come out right, but you get the idea. Love to the Kingdom, Ivanna B.

Me-Me: The Sequel
"Sigh" then "oh well" ... Guess that's my reaction today when I did the weigh-in and saw I'm up 1.6 pounds ... the first time in 17 weeks I haven't lost or maintained. :dizzy: But I have eaten a lot this last week, so I did expect it ... except that other weeks I've also overeaten and still lost with Sugar Busters, but we can't expect to get away with stuff forever!
Thanks, Ivanna, I will post more about what's going on w' me in my journal so's not to hog space here ... I don't wanna drive any royals away w' my overpostin' about MOI (there's another inner child in there I just found out about today :yikes: ). Think thy plan to do a week o' Flex soundeth interesting ... Eydie, I'm sorry thy dad's recovery is not going as fast as you'd hoped, but betting it's just a matter of healing taking time. We all recover from things in different ways and in our own time frame, so maybe that's just the case here. Crossin' fingers and toes, invoking healin' vibes in his direction. I saw Body for Life for Women in the store ... as thou knowest, I've personally had good success with BFL, but couldn't stick to it (because of eating the sugar ... I used to consider a donut a carb selection ... doesn't work)!!! Anagramatic, I took the wee naplet, plus had breakfast, plus had a hot bath and I STILL don't feel like doing my stories ... mayhap I'm just going to have to suffer through Monday without being caught up as I'm totally blocked today. Kaylets, I REALLY am startin' to worry about thee. Are ya ok, lass? Sending positive vibes. Do we need to dispatch a towel boy? |
*awakes in her royal california king bed... eyes the poolboy*
g'day royals. :D Today will be me going to the Chinese market to get lots of fruits/veggies (I initially typed "vaggies"... freudian slip?!) and then heading out to Ye Olde Gymnatorium. |
Here I am!
Hello all! Its been mostly my computer battling popups... What seems to work best is if I come straight to reply even b/4 reading the posts... So, 3fc will have to be my first stop! Hope all are doing well.... My Friday the 13th went from one clumsy decaf coffee spill (allover the desk, thank you very much) to then pouring it down my shirt front -- enough to get the bra wet ... and even felt wet all the way to my k nees....yes, that much was left in the cup..... Then a bunch of other ridiculoous things which only proove I am distracted and trying to do too much....but then by 2 pm was sure I was coming down w/s omething as I couldnt hardly keep sitting up straight.....and to top it off RAVENOUS.... just simply could eat my shoes if they had salt on them.... just got one of those illegal operation messages so...... |
Amarantha, my DC (d computer) will not take me to the journals, sos this princess will have to wait until she goes to work tomorrow to check your journal.
Never made it to the Farmer's market. Went to get cash from the bank machine, and it was out of money! The bank, not me (I hope!) So, I went to the grocery store instead, came home and fixed lunch, then I started this heart-pounding thing that happens every so often. Usually it stops when I take a blood-pressure pill, so I am waiting for that to kick in. Damn! I had so much I wanted to do today! To say that I overdid it yesterday is an understatement. But, I am wondering if it would have been easier if i hadn't been packing around 40 plus extra pounds. Ya know, Kingdom, iffn I don't get this weight off, my life doesn't look too pretty. I need to know how to get those expression thingies on my message. Advice? Much love to alll, Ivanna B. Svelte |
Kaylets!!!! :wave: Sorry thou be havin' popup problems. I used to have a lot of those, but payin' a nominal subscription fee here eliminated 'em! Not sure what that "illegal operation" thing is but it doesn't sound good! :yikes:
At any rate, sorry you had a bad Friday the 13th with the coffee 'n all. Ivanna, my journal's on another forum, as it's easier for me to use. I did write a long thing today about how I've been trying to come to terms with something and can't and how Maisie's cousin Saintly Sue caused me to eat too much last week because she's mad that she found out we're not perfect! (She thought we were). :) But I deleted it ... posted my food log there today and the cals are down now and I feel in control again, at least for now. Ivanna, I just type in the codes to manipulate color, font, smilies, etc., which is the easy way ... but if you click on "go advanced" on your reply screen, it'll show you those options ... just click on the smilie you want and it'll put it in ... with fonts, colors, etc., just pull down the menu and choose, it'll show you a box with a blank space ... you can just type a letter in there and hit enter and it'll put the codes in your message ... then you can replace the letter that's between the codes with what you wanna say! You probably already know this, so I apologize in advance if I answered the wrong question, which I often do! :) Do you have atrial fib? I do also ... Ivanna, you WILL get the weight off ... hang tight ... you will find a program that works for you and that you enjoy and can live with, but remember that weight is only one aspect of the wonderful person that you are ... so dinna agonize, it's all good. Later, :queen: s!!! E, still sending out as many vibes as possible in thy father's direction. Keep us posted! :wave: Solitaire time. If I'd spent as much time working this week as I did zoning out on solitaire, I'd be done by now. Just another instance of not being perfect, I guess. Who'da thunk it? |
OH THANK YOU! YES! That was the question, and that was the answer. Now, let's see if this Princess can get it to work.

Ivanna B. Svelte
HMMMM! Now how do I get one HERE? Oh, the Codes, Like :dizzy:
|
COOL! Now I can :jig: along with the rest of you!
|
Good job, Ivanna!!! :cb:
|
I burned about 650 calories today working out, and another 250 just walking. I ROCK.
I had a wonderful day. Great eating. There'll be no more yogurt in this chick's fridge for a while... after eating a .75L tub of it on Saturday - t'was ugly, my royals.. ugly! HERE'S TO A FABULOUS WEEK EVERYONE!!! |
Wowsa, Newfie - great day!
Was somewhat down yesterday and DID NOT have a great one in most ways - well, maybe one. I did go to bed without one last snack that I had a craving for. Small victory. But it was one of those days I know would have been much worse were it not for the support I always feel from the palace. Fresh start Monday! |
Eydie, :goodvibes: to your father - and I agree, it sometimes just takes a little longer when we're a bit older. Still a worry though.
Sorry you missed the Market, dtimpma, but hope you'll be able to keep such spells from happening again. And sorry Friday the 13th was so stressful, :queen: K. Mayhap the new week will bring smoother sailing. Thanks for the tips, Empress. I didn't realize the little part about typing a letter and then typing your message in the regular way. Typing in the little box was always too much of a pain. Might see more spritely messages from this corner of the realm! And wishing you a totally unblocked day where all stories just flow from they rested brain. Sending :grouphug: to all Royals. |
I'm back from the semi-south! St Louis was wonderful...had a great time, saw lotsa sights and then on Saturday we went to visit in Jefferson City....had an authentic German meal Saturday night and flew back here yesterday. Our hosts in JC own a restaurant.......the food! First time I've had flaming bananas for dessert.....I'm not sure that was authentic German but the rest was! We shaved down the puppies and my friend picked one, which flew home on the flight with us. Boy was I tired last night...I still hate flying. Takes me hours to feel normal afterwards and I can't eat or drink before or on the flight!
Anyway, have laundry and stuff to do. Will check in later. Glad to see you all....especially the new :queen: s! :wave: Ceara |
Good afternoon!
Sorry I didn't usher in Friday as I should have... was distracted by the mums leaving town and adding to the list of things I need to do with her critters now that my stepdad's not around to do them for her... Having to feed the horses in pouring down rain all weekend really made me miss him (he on the other hand was probably watching me trudge through the mud and was laughing his head off!). Good week last week. I was 3/4 on program, being that I didn't get the correct and entire old WW Freedom plan until Wednesday! But I've been faithful since and even ate out a couple times last week successfully. Downward we go again!!!!! Ceara, glad you made it back in one piece. I'm with ya on the flying - I swear I get jet lag flying in the same time zone. I'm dreading the 18 hour flight to Fiji already... it'll probably take me a month after I'm home to get back to PST! Flamin' nanners sound delish! Amarantha, in this household Clairol IS an inherited hair color! :lol: Wildfire, yes, I miss Cerise too!!!! Put out the :queen: signal like they do for Batman - don't we have one that flashes a crown on the clouds??? I'm so happy your co-workers mum is getting the kind of care she is and that they're making the most of their time together. I really feel for her... Anagram, I watched the George Lopez special, even I teared up.... my thoughts are with you and DH and we'll send him some special thoughts on the 31st ok? I agree, there are times that just maintaining through hard times is a HUGE accomplishment. I wish I had been that together when it all hit the fan - I wouldn't be in the position I am now of having to re-loose it all. Again. DTimpma, I LOVE what you said about 'your eyes are in front, look forward'. Love it, love it, love it. Will repeat it to myself daily if not hourly. :yes: :wave: NewfieSara! Nice ta meetcha! Eydie, my thoughts are with your dad. There's no more powerless feeling than this kind of thing huh? Glad you enjoyed your trip to the beach though... keep us posted ok? Well, for the first time in 6 years I almost didn't think about what would've been my wedding anniversary. Saturday 5/15 would've been 12 years had I stayed married... it's a bittersweet feeling. I'm glad that it took me til past noon to realize what the date was - moving on is good. On one hand I think of what my marriage *could've* been had he wanted to work with me on it and on the other hand I am so happy with the life I've made for myself in the last 6 years. Everything happens for a reason. Truly. Ok, must skeedaddle, the skies are getting a little ominous looking and I may be getting a little light show soon! Later gators, Terri |
