Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 19)

So piglet Andrew bike coach - I went to his gym last night to observe.  He trains in the art of primal move and kettle bell and stuff that i am clueless about.  He is ex armed forces, he was also on the Olympic team for Tae kwon do.  So he kinda knows his stuff.

The class last night was taken by his gorgeous girlfriend Shannon.  It looked tough.  I cannot commit to the classes I just don't have the hours in a week spare!  BUT I have committed to PT with Andrew - we start Monday and I'm not afraid to say I'm afraid!  So we do an hour on a Monday night 6.30pm then he gives me homework 2 x 20mins sessions to do at home.

And Andrew is away this weekend, but he hasn't let me down, Shannon is taking me for a ride Sunday.  Aren't I the luckiest girl in the world!

wow a facebook curveball.  Andrew piglet bike coach has an ex I believe i mentioned we are 'friends' well mainly if I see her at an event or squad we chat, we are friends on facebook etc.  I can't say we've socialised EVER.

Today I get a message from her saying if I don't stop posting about how wonderful Andrew is and how much he is helping me etc she will have to block me on facebook.  She works hard at removing ex's from her life and doesn't need the constant reminders.  WTF! 

I have not responded.  Really - a little childish I thought and I have no idea how to respond to that.

Any ideas manatees?

To be honest we are hardly friends, if she blocked me without telling me I would have taken months to notice.

Artemis - 2013-04-09 5:47 AM Just got back from running with my little one in the jog stroller.  Apparently she's getting heavier or my legs were toast from PT this morning because it was hella hard.  I only made it 1.3 miles before I just couldn't keep going.  I guess that's better than nothing, but I was hoping to do more.

Artemis - 2013-04-09 5:02 AM

Nope. I totally write it in my head during the race.  It's always way better there than it actually is because I end up forgetting half the things I want to say!

Anybody who has a problem with what *I* post or put on *my* wall gets defriended. I'm very happy to debate content and ideas, but anyone who has a problem with me POSTING it ... 'bye.

YES HALLELUJAH MY DAD FINALLY DIED!!!!!

All the major eff-ups along the way means a few other people are going to have to, as well, but too bad.

For those of you who have been following, it's been a bureaucratic nightmare that only 3rd World and in particular Indonesian bureaucracy could possibly produce, rife with Catch-22s and impossible requirements.

The President finally stepped in and had my dad killed off. THANK YOU. (This was a last resort but for ferk's sake, the poor guy died on March 15th and he wasn't dead yet! And without him being officially dead, we can't REALLY proceed with any of his VERY messy issues and paperwork and legal processes, both business and personal estate).

I am friends with an ex-boyfriend on Facebook. I love my husband. Just want to get that out there. But I was having issues seeing pictures of this ex with his new (very young) wife and their beautiful new second home (vacation) with the new furniture being delivered, and the great parties, and vacations to Spain . . . Do I need to go on? LOL

The thing is that I realized that this was my problem. Not his. I didn't say anything to him. I didn't unfriend him. Facebook has this wonderful feature. I don't have to see any of his wall posts in my feed. So I don't. Problem solved. As far as he knows, I am cool. And I don't torture myself with envy.

Maybe you could suggest that to your friend. Since she's the one with the problem. :-)

KansasMom - 2013-04-08 8:49 PM Don't underestimate pushing E in the stroller. It adds a lot of resistance. I think you did a great job.

jobaxas - 2013-04-08 11:26 PM

Now there's an opening line of a post you won't often see!

Glad it's sorted and you can start the bureaucratic process of going through his stuff....

Posted by a woman who has lost 20lbs but who wasn't really 'feeling' it: "Well today I picked up 20 lbs of dumbells during my warmup. I could the feel the weight pulling me down. I could feel the added stress on my joints and hear the heavier footfalls on the treadmill. I only held onto them for 1/4 miles but when I dropped the weight I felt the difference. I felt lighter". 

Maybe try running the same 1.3miles without wee little baby E and the stroller--I bet you feel it!  No, you were carrying the weight, but pushing it is similar stress.  Plus, you can't use your arms for momentum when pushing the stroller!  Awesome job!

4agoodlife - 2013-04-09 4:41 PM Incredibly windy today...60mph gusts! Now there's rain, lightning and thunder. So who did it??? Who sent their crazy weather to my perfectly happy neck of the earth? On top of it, I was totally unmotivated all afternoon. Finally dragged myself onto the trainer and then upstairs for some core work when DH got home to watch kids. Sheesh.

jobaxas - 2013-04-08 9:49 PM

I will tell you here it is perfect.  Sunny, warm not hot, no wind.  wish I had taken the day off and gone for a ride.  yes it's that good.
