Whips, Cattle Prods & Tiaras (Four-Is-More Challenge) (Page 19)

Heya, team!  Thought I would do a quick check-in.  Not so much.  Took me an hour to catch up with the 18 pages (!!) of chatter.  It's definitely made my work night go faster.  On the downside folks are starting to wonder about me - I've been laughing out loud way too much.  Not a good thing when you work in a chemistry lab.  They're going to think I've been swigging the ethanol.

I suppose I'll share a bit about myself while I'm here.  My name is Emily.  I'm 31 and just finished up my first year of triathlon.  My season ended rather disappointingly.  The oly that I've been training for has been cancelled.

Okay - time to get back to work.  I'll leave you all with a little pink tiara goodness:

I vomited a little in my mouth when I saw that... Welcome to the team, Emily.

I guess we've discovered a new motivational tool.  The only thing better than a red cattle prod is Eddie Izzard dressed in pink.

I've played Wii tennis and Wii bowling but I haven't done Wii fit. Does it give you a good workout?

Thanks! I fixed it

I think its awesome! So cute! Leave it as-is.

Aaaw thanks - will see what kind of reaction I get!  

OK so I've waded through the 3 extra pages of chatter thats come up overnight!!! I think I'm getting some weird looks at work - everytime someone walks past my computer I'm looking at pictures of Catwoman or other women dressed in bondage gear, they don't believe that I'm on a triathlon forum *LOL*

I'll have a look for some whip photos over the weekend so I can change my avatar as well.  

We went out last night for my mum's birthday to a nice Chinese restaurant. Normally for me Chinese is something I have as take-away when I can't be bothered cooking, and end up feeling bloated and drinking lots of water because of all the MSG. Anyway, this one was recommended by my brother who's a chef, and it was to die for!!! Has anyone ever had Peking Duck? Its delicious! Its basically the skin of the duck basted & roasted so its thin, shiny and crispy, then its served wrapped in a little pancake with Hoisin sauce and fresh veges. Its SO GOOD! But not good FOR you, very fatty *lol*

This weekend I am running my city's annual City To Surf race (12 kms) and then I'm all pumped for the challenge starting Monday. Have a good weekend everyone!!!! 

I just started using it, but it was good.  It is designed to increase gradually, so it locks the harder challenges till you do enough tasks.  It makes it a little more fun, because you forget that you are exercising, but think you are playing games.  Then an hour later you are sore and covered in sweat.

Good morning WCP&T team.

Lots of great pics I see were shared.

I just spent 90 minutes staining half of my deck.  The other half is on tap for this afternoon after my errands. 

Cat, love the new avatar.  LOL

Too bad she lost her motion.

Blake, I see you have been a Baaaaaaad boy.  LOL

Emily, that pic is just soooooo wrong.  LOL

Good thing you did not say it was Mila. 

Funny!  

I went to the grocery store this morning.  First time just taking just one child and not two or three in forever.  Can't believe how much time I saved.  I think he enjoyed going with me too.  Not quite as fun as staining a deck but close in my book! 

I was supposed to go riding this afternoon after I drop Liam off at school but instead I'm going out to lunch.  I'll get on a better training schedule next week, I promise!  Until then, I'm blowing off my bike and having lunch!  Yum! (it's no wonder I'm up a few pounds)

Drive by horny melon attack!!!  te hehehe

you guys are cruising with the posts, must be a cattle prod in the keister from your team leader!!!

rude

Okay team, I'm disappearing until either late Tues night or early WEd morning.  Have a great Holiday weekend and sneak in some workouts. 

Hey team!

I had a great morning shopping today - I went to a sports store and bought some Asics runners for over 1/2 price - down from $210 to $99. BARGAIN!!! Now I have no excuse not to run, and hopefully my knees will stop hurting. I also bought some Skins compression tights for 25% off. I love buying things on special (so do all girls *lol*).

I have found a cool whip picture as an avatar, but BT is being difficult and not loading it for me - its says "success" but then doesn't show the image. I'll have a go again  later. 

Have a good weekend! x o
