WI catch-up

[collwen]

At my last update (12/22/05), I was 212.6.
On 12/29/05, I was at 216.4 (up 3.8, but considering it was after Xmas/Chanukah/Yule, isn't all that bad).

Last night (after 2 weeks of not weighing in), I was at 215.6, which is down .8 lb.

Not bad for not tracking, Godiva chocolate, and a salt craving from hell.

I also went bra shopping. My boobs have gotten smaller! I was a 42 D/DD, and now I'm a 40 C. I was a 38 C for a while (and insisted that I was still one until chickipu_no_oni smacked me upside the head and had me try different bra sizes).

I've been managing to hit the gym at least twice a week, and usually 3, and sometimes 4 times a week. Tuesdays is my main night, where I go to a cardio-kickboxing class (low impact for me), then the Group Power strength training class. I think I can discern a small shaping difference in my upper arms, but I'm not completely sure.

I've started tracking again. I wasn't sure if I'd get to the gym this weekend (I'm going up to Albany for Friday and Saturday and Sunday I have a Rebekahs initiation down here) so I went last night.

Yup, Tersh did that with me too. While I was still working for Bonnie, Tersha and I went to Wal Mart (of all places) so I could go bra shopping. I have dubbed her the great and powerful Oz when it comes to that stuff. Cause she insisted that I've got a rack and I wasn't wearing the right bras. Tersha has a spot in my personal pantheon of gods, as the Goddess of Correct Shapeliness.

Hi Collwen. God, I know I've seen you at events - at least, I think that was you - but I don't think we've ever been introduced. :)

I've added you to my friends list - and are you going to Birka?

[collwen.livejournal.com]

Hi... Your pic looks familiar as well.

Nope on Birka... I can't tempt my bank account that much.

I'll be at a bunch of stuff from February though March. Will you be at Hrim Schola?

[nazrynn.livejournal.com]

Probably not - I don't usually go to Hrim Schola, but the events that I am going to are listed in an entry in mine from about 2-3 days ago. Looks like a majority of those events are in Southern Region again - we really need to explore Central a bit more than just CT and southern Mass. :)

:)

I'm usually in Central. I'll probably be at K&Q Bardic, Dancing Fox, Crystal Snowflake, Northpass Tavern...

I grew up in Anglespur/Concordia and now live in Frosted Hills...

[nazrynn.livejournal.com]

So that would be how you know Friedrich. :D

I am deliberately avoiding K&Q Bardic for reasons noted in my "Just Say No" post, in relation to the many requests for teachers. (Arg. Love to teach, but no, no, no, and no.... not now... already teaching.)

Not sure when we'll be back in Northpass. March is slowly but surely being eaten up by a gilding workshop in Mass, I-CON, and Easter. April has a couple of things in it too.

Next month we're heading to RPI for The Big Red Freakout - Rennselear's homecoming hockey game. My S.O. of 7 years went to school up there when we met online in '93, and we've been making the trek to Troy-Albany to visit his fellow fraternity alumni almost each year. Things are starting to slow down, though, with everyone else having a family life, or moving on in some manner or another. Not sure if we'll be there next year.

Ahhh, I've not been to the Freakout in years (I played in the pep band a little when I went to Sage). I'm going up to RPI this weekend for Genericon.

Would you possibly be at War of the Roses?

[nazrynn.livejournal.com]

Roses, dunno. We'll definitely be at NRWC, which shouldn't be too far from you. I've been to War of the Roses once, for K&Q A&S 1. Had an OK time, running back and forth between competing in K&Q Archery *and* K&Q A&S at the same time (was playing the archery part for fun anyway, to see if I could do better than the previous year). I probably would have had more fun if the rain wasn't coming down so hard, or the mud was nonexistent, or the chest cold I caught later had not happened. Otherwise, barring the weather, it's a great event. Just wish it wasn't Memorial Day weekend...

I'll also be at BBM Investiture in June. (June 3) - It will be an RP, and there will be plenty to do, including Rock Paper Scissors A&S again. I need to nudge a couple of people to let them know it's OK to publish the announcement now, since organizing a little more for it.

Hi Collwen...good luck with the weight loss, I'm working on my own though I've been a bit more lax than I should be :)

It's nice to meet you btw :)

[collwen.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too. and Thanks.

I've gone thorugh bouts of lax and not lax...

[eeyore-sings.livejournal.com]

Collwen, saw your journal on the 'prentice list. Mind if I add you? I'll be posting a message to the list re-introducing myself after my little sabatical.
