UH OH!
General, Weigh in June 30th, 2008Had a great weigh in this morning. 0.0 pounds lost! Yay me!
Okay, okay I’ll back up a bit here. I went to the nicest outdoor wedding on Saturday morning and trust me I’m not a big ‘goer’ and yet surprise…I really enjoyed it! They had a BBQ after and a great spread of chow. I had a burger, salad, 3 kinds of macaroni salad and some taco salad. After that I went back for another burger!!! Yes bigprof, I too have a weakness for burgers
Honest to God I could have stuffed them into me till I was in agony they were that darned good. Did I mention the wedding cake? No? Yup…I did…cake and coffee. I have no idea why the scales were so kind to me and I’m going to have to work my ass off this week just in case there’s a delayed reaction.
Also, we went to a party Sat night and I had two drinks…not bad huh? I didn’t feel much into drinking, boys it sure seemed like a long time for my burgers to wear off, and I didn’t get my afternoon nap…awww! My guy was working late as they had to have all of the lobster traps up by months end. We ended up going late and Little Miss Social Butterfly me, who feels lost in large bunches of people, couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there almost as soon as we arrived. It was an back yard party at friends of my guy’s. I say his friends, even thought this is a very small place and we all know each other, he’s 7 years younger than me and as I lived away for 20 years he has more history with them. And I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a recluse
I guess that’s what you’d call me. Now I don’t mind a small gathering for an evening here and there, but a whole yard full of squealing, screeching and giggling women (yes there is this one f***ing giggling chick and she giggles sober. I just want to cuff her a good one!) and staggering, mumbling and hardy har-haring men and I had people overload. All peopled out! That sounds awful, doesn’t it? I did have a few good laughs, but Oh I love my mellow life so much!!!
That was my weekend and now it’s back to work and I couldn’t be happier about it. I just want to concentrate on my weight and fitness now…pahleeze!
This morning the fog was thick as pudding again which equals a great run morning! I find the cool wet weather soothes my muscles and I run a lot better. Once I get that first mile under my belt, my warm up mile as I call it, then it get quite easy. Not easy with a capital E, but easy compared to what I used to struggle through. Baby steps!
Can’t believe it’s time again to try and earn some money periwinkling. A whole month has sailed by and how is that possible? Jeeze did I stumble into a time machine or what? The older ya get the faster it goes, stupid saying and this is ridiculous. Slow down Time! Mellow out! Chill a spell.
Oops forgot…ran 6 miles!

OMG, periwinkle, you are so my long lost sister. I hated DC because of the crowds. AND LOL and more LOL about the screeching women!! So true. And this suburbanite existence that I have is chock full of them. They who carry red cow print leather poopdydoo purses that cost over $300. My “purse thingie” as I call it is from REI. And only recently did I force myself to start carrying that.
Lobster traps? Seriously? You people lead the life that I can only read about. Love it.
I am glad you enjoyed your “chow”. You gotta cut loose a little sometimes. You’ll have all that burned off in no time with that iron woman routine of yours!

hey there! no worries about the no loss, the no gain means that you can maintain without much worry which is an accomplishment on its own! sounds like a nice wedding, but I know what you mean about the parties!
man, i wish i lived in a place like you. it sounds so beautiful and un-hectic. maybe one day!
6 mile run?!? pshhhh, you’ll be losing again in NO TIME!

[...] think hubby & I have decided to be recluses today too, just like our girl Periwinkle who is apparently happy to return to her quiet runner’s life after a too-social party. Amen [...]

LOL, I love your description of the party, I’d be anxious to leave, too! I’ll pass on the giggling and screeching, thank you very much. Way to go on the 6 miler, whoo hoo! And maintaining is AWESOME!
