Thursday Three!

[ 40 ] 01/07/2010 | christieo

We’re having some fun on this sort of potpourri Thursday Three . (Look at that, I rhymed!)

Today I give you three fun facts/slash/embarrassing moments.

1. I would like to state for the record that for week one of our Rethink Your Shrink challenge, we as a group lost about 75 pounds! Wait. I’m going to say that again. 75 FREAKIN POUNDS! IN ONE WEEK! And it is probably more because there are a few of us who did not weigh in yesterday and were posting their weights today. Is that not amazing and awesome!?? Great job, ladies. And dude. We so totally rock. Keep up the momentum. It’s contagious.

2. Go ahead, drop an F bomb if you have to, because according to a study over at WebMD, cursing may help lessen the perception of pain. So when your thighs are burning, they might burn a little less if you ^#$@$%$&$!!!!!!!!!! And then you can keep going.

3. I am constantly being overshadowed by wardrobe malfunctions. I’ve already blogged about wearing two different shoes to the gym and having my undies fall out onto the floor in the middle of the gym. This week I wore two different socks to the gym and my sports bra was inside out (what is WRONG with me!) and on Christmas day, I went half the day with my pants on backwards.

Now YOU!

Spill a fun fact or an embarrassing moment. GO!

Ok the 2 different sock thing – well thats a normal with me. I HATE pairing socks so I just throw all mine in a bin and just pull 2 out in the mornings! And I might add – I dont own white socks! That's to boring! I have neon colors, stripes, argyle, pictures, anything you can find thats unique, well i got em! :) So needless to say, I'm always lookin' a mess!

Embarrasing Moment? I would say when Chris came home and saw me in the Downward Dog position while doing Yoga the other night – that's an ackward position to begin with, but theres nothing like looking up through my legs and having him stare at my fat ass! Then I fell on my head because I was suprised to see his face! He snuck up on me! – Jerk – Haha.

1. the girl beside me on the elliptical during the phantom pharter incident was a good friend of the receptionist here at work…i have visions of them chatting about my stank while doing their c2k5 program (she was warming up on the elliptical waiting for my coworker.)

2. pineapple upside down cake FAIL

3. i've probably already shared that my 5 year old niece's bras resemble my sports bras right? if that's not embarrassing enough on its own over Christmas she was in the shower and said “Mommy, my boobs are bigger than Aunt Boo's”.
BrookeF

ahem…young lady, we were instructed to do away with negative self talk for this challenge. i think “my fat ass” falls into that catagory!! :P

*goes back up to her own comment to make sure she didn't slip up too*

How funny – I got dressed this morning and put on two different shoes. I have NEVER done that before so I thought it was weird – as did my son. Then I log on here and find out that I am not alone. I guess all that weight loss prompts silliness.
Now for the drumroll……add another 5 (wowser) pounds to that total loss of 75 to make it 80. I can't believe that I lost five pounds in one week. I had to recheck the scale to see if it was working right…hehe. Hey, do we rock or what!!! Oh…maybe that F-bomb I let go to that crazy truck driver may have had something to do with it (in front of my son even, but don't worry – he's 18)
No blog today, but will do something for next week.

Shit! I should totally be pain-free!

Thanks Brooke – I needed to get back on track in the worst way. Its always easier to lose alot when you have alot to lose. Wish I was where you are…..so hang in there and you will get back on the losing side soon!!

I don't wash my jeans all the time because I don't know about you guys but it takes a couple of wears after a wash for them to fit right. Anyway, I pulled off my jeans with my undies in them to jump in the shower. A couple days later put back on my jeans to run to the mall and in the middle of the mall as I walked I felt something running down my leg. Yes it was my undies. Very embarrassing! lol

Haha, too funny!!

I posted a “three” post this morning before I saw this assignment, so I'm just gonna link it. It's nothing embarrassing or even particularly fun, but it was kinda fun for me!

Ohh ooops! I meant to say PHAT ass! Is that better???
http://www.icommit2befit.blogspot.com Meg @ I commit 2 be fit

HAHAHA! I can relate to that! I had to take my lil sis (13) shopping for bra's when she started getting “lumps” and we got her fitted for her size and she was the same size as me!!! WTH? So not cool.
http://www.icommit2befit.blogspot.com Meg @ I commit 2 be fit

That's awesome Margie! You go girl! And don't worry – I'm always slingin the F bomb at truckers! They always try to run my over!!
http://www.icommit2befit.blogspot.com Meg @ I commit 2 be fit

Oh no! That is embarrasing – but it got your heart racing which equals melting calories! Whoop! – Trying to throw an optimistic twist on it! :)
BrookeF

Christie O. knows my most recent gaffe: packing two right-footed running shoes in my gym bag and having to do a whole spin class in them. I thought it would be okay, since it wasn't like I had to run anywhere, but between that and the frontal wedgie-giving bike seat (it was loose, and it kept tilting up when the instructor would finally let us sit down!)…let's just say spin class was even more uncomfy than usual.

BrookeF…don't worry about the whole bra incident. I am almost 32 years old and my boyfriend's 11 year old daughter recently started wearing a bra and…outside of the numerical size, her cup size is almost bigger than me. I got over it long ago that God did not want me to have big boobs and now that I am running again I just have to say…THANK YOU GOD!!!
present_time

Seeing BrookeF's post about bra's reminded me of one of my many gaffs at the gym. I was not blessed (thank God) with boobs. That being said I HATE wearing a bra a don't usually wear one if I don't have to, yes, even to the gym. Towards the end of a workout when you start cooling down a little let's just say that some things….stand out…more than others. I don't usually notice until my loving boyfriend points it out (no pun intended) and suggests that I go put on my sweatshirt again.

Another fun thing to have happen is, while learning Judo (and other various martial arts), you are taught to exhale forcefully when performing throws or strikes (or are being struck or thrown). Nothing gets the rest of the group (and me) giggling like farting at one of those very serious times. My boyfriend's youngest daughter and I were practicing the Judo pins and she farted in my face to get out of one. Like father like daughter I guess :)

CHRISTIE! lol!! You need to start a catalog of your wardrobe malfunctions!

I used to take a pilates (or maybe yoga) class and there was one pose that always caused me to make….ummm….EMBARASSING sounds. I would then fall down out of my pose and bring even more attention to myself. I decided to quit after 3 classes. Obviously my body was NOT meant for that pose.

hahahahhahaha! I laughed out loud picturing you falling out of pose because of a fart! hahahaha! love it!

At the moment, I can only think of one embarrassing thing to share. I have likely blocked all the rest out of memory LOL

Several years ago, I stopped off at the grocery store before work to kill some time. As I am walking out of the store to head to my car with my arms full, my tights decide to slip off my butt and continue down to my knees by the time I got to my car. Needless to say, satin panties, tights that were a smidgen too small, and a short skirt DO NOT equal a great combination! LOL
