Breaking the Barrier

[Jill]

I like to eat lots.

 

[Jodi]

Thanks NT, I just don't ever want to lose the ability to keep my weight in control.

 

[Jodi]

I like to eat lots.

I don't. I wish I could just be satisfied with normal portions.

I think you're much like me in that respect ... you don't really gain weight quickly but that's because you choose not to let it happen.

 

[Jill]

I like to eat lots, I dont like it that i like to eats lots, get it?

Im with you on the normal portion size for sure.

 

[Jodi]

Psstt...I think I might have the same appeite as Jodi.

It's a good thing we can control it. Could you imagine the kind of grocery bills we'd have

[JLB001]

Girls rule!!

 

[Velvet]

I like the pre-judge better because you get better seats and you see the women at their best performance. The pre show is where the judging is done so the night so is just for money and glitz. Pre show is where the hard works shines through IMO.

Ya, I agree, and it's not so dark so you can see the competitors better!

[Jodi]

You better drink with us

 

[nikegurl]

good point. we'll call a cab.

 

[Jodi]

Maybe next year I can get both of you to Vegas and then we won't need to call a cab.

Oh man, imagine the trouble that we could cause

 

[JLB001]

Does anyone know of any CHEAP flights? The ones on SW are $600 for the two of us. The complex in Vegas has us pencilled in for those dates but damn flights are HIGH!!!

 

[Jodi]

What airport, Houston? What days do you want to travel?

Try America West.

 

[JLB001]

Oct. 28-Nov. 1. Either airport. I live between them.

Less than 2 weeks after my surgery, I'm running the 5K for Breast Cancer here in Phoenix, I just signed up. It won't be my best 3 miles but I'll make it regardless. I see it as perfect timing, which is why I want to do it. My doctor thinks I'm on drugs

That is a great idea Jodi - I can't think of anything better to do.

Even if you stumble over the finish the next morning I would imagine it will be an excellent cleansing exercise (kind of like kicking this whole icky experience in the butt and saying "HA! Take that! I beat you you peice of crap - You can't stop me!!). It should be worth every second!!

 

[dalila]

When's that gonna be Jodi?
As long as it safe for you to run so soon OK?

And errr you gotta start sleeping earlier if you gonna run that race!!

That's soooo awesome Jodi! If you PM me an address, I'll sponsor you on your run!!!

I will too ... my wife and daughter are running a similar one here.

That's exactly how I felt when I chose to run it. It's only 3.1 miles which I run 3-4 times a week right now but I'm sure it will be a bit harder then.

This is sort of like a sweet ending to this mess and moving on with my life. 'm just thankful that I don't and didn't have to go through all the pain and suffering that women go through when they do have malignant tumors.

October 3rd is the race. My doctor said it shouldn't be a problem but I will be more exhausted after the run that I usually am. Right now I'm only doing 9 min miles. I'm not a speedy run by anymeans but I don't expect to be able to even do that on this day.

BTW - I'm on pacific time. It was only 11PM when I posted

 

[Jodi]

Thank you Velvet and NT

That's very nice of you both.

I plan on hitting up my gym and work.

 

[naturaltan]

My mother-in-law had breat cancer ... she's been in remission for probably 6 years now. She lost her hair, had to take the kemo treatments. But being as strong as she is, she made it look easier than it was.

Glad you didn't have to do battle with it either ... but I know you'd be much like mother-in-law ... you'd kick the hell out of it as you do everything else.

 

[Jodi]

I don't know how I'd handle being in her situation. I hope everything works out for her.
