Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 140)

When I do OWS practice in Denver I usually meet my dad for breakfast afterwards at a nearby Cajun place. Beignets for breakfast. Nuff said.

*fingers in ears*

Wait.

*hands over eyes*

LALALALALALALALALALALALALA!

OMG.  Beignets for breakfast??? I don't think I could handle that.  I have a hard enough time saying no to the pretzel pancakes topped with vanilla/caramel syrup whenever we go to this one breakfast place after a long workout on the weekend.

I'm in the same boat.  I lost about 40-45lbs in 2009 and I'm on the verge of being an Athena again. 

Stupid lack of willpower. 

They are from Spinergy (RevX), and complete my retro look. At Kansas 5150, some guy came up and said, "I love your bike!!! I wanted a pair of those rims when I was a kid." We had a good laugh about that.

Ice Cream. Every day. Sometimes more than once. Just kind of steadily working my way down. Not in a big rush.

I like the look!  I'm trying to price out wheelsets without the DH realizing what I'm up to...  

Ouch.  With empty pockets, I might go for the first option of digging out the old crankset.  I'm guessing you've already tried looking on ebay, etc to possibly find better prices? 

Just finished my first yoga session since last summer (and last summer was my first yoga EVER). Let's just say that my balance and flexibility have suffered greatly  But I'm not nearly as bad as I was, nor as self-conscious.

On another note...where's best place to log yoga? (and yes, the child's pose/downward dog/warrior kind of yoga)

^^^^what she said!!

I started Weight Watchers last night.  I feel like I need to count points just reading this thread today.  EVIL!!!! 

DOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT!!!

I swear it was the waitresses fault!  She's the evil one here!!! 

Let's compare notes after you see this.      I actually like this version much better than the Robert Redford version but will refrain from comment until after you see it.

Huge hugs for you, Yanti.  Glad things are coming together for your suicidal friend, too bad about the other guy.  And really too bad about Daniel Craig's doppelganger, but I like your attitude about it - maybe later in life you will truly find your paths converging at the right time and place.

Whoa, mind officially blown!   Nice job, Salty, oh woman of many talents!

I try, do OK for a while, then fall off the wagon, climb back on, repeat cycle endlessly.  It's a sad state of affairs.  I'm in the 'fell off' stage right now, trying to scramble back on board.

Wait, what?!  You found them?!  I've been looking and watching and waiting but haven't seen them hit around here yet.

I'd be in for that. 

hmmm....I've been of the opinion that it's whatever weight I'm at when I start a race.

Nick Carroway is one of my favorite narrators. I did not appreciate the implication that he was crazy. I kind of had to grit my teeth and look away in those scenes.

And they left out the whole "Old Dutch Settlers . . . fresh breast of the new continent . . " That is one of my favorite passages in literature. But they did get the "beating oars . . . ceaselessly into the past" that tears me up every time.

DiCaprio was okay as Gatsby. I was skeptical. And I didn't think anyone could do Daisy better than Mia Farrow, but it worked.

I had students who saw it, and I'm sure when it started they said, "Oh, damn. There's that green late that Squires kept yammering on and on and on about."

They kept "orgastic."

What did you think?
