SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 190)

sdalessio - 2009-07-31 8:01 AM So work food update ...

Yesterday AM - Krispy Kreme breakfast.  I took my yogurt and no donuts although the smell was overwhelmingly good when I walked in.

Lunch - small basket of yummy cookies, blondies, lemon bars, etc..  I picked up an extra half of sandwich and made it out of the lunch meeting unscathed.

3pm Birthday cupcakes - at 2pm I was starving so I grabbed a skim Misto from Starbucks (about 90 cal/0 fat) and a peach.  I walked into the office where those little buggers sat and stared at them the whole time.  Amazingly I wasn't hungry (which didn't necessarily stop me in the past) but also I DID NOT want one.  I couldn't believe.  It wasn't even hard to avoid the temptation. 

I'm not sure what happened to me.  I must be getting sick.  I even avoided the cupcakes the kids made a home.  Tony and I went out to a late light dinner and finished the meal w/ a bowl of 3 golf ball size scopps of gelato.  It was tasty and satisfying and a very respectable size.  I ate it b/c I wanted to enjoy a treat not b/c I saved myself for it or felt it was ok b/c I had avoided the other stuff.

Anyway we'll see if it's a turning point or just a fluke. 

tahrens - 2009-07-31 8:05 AM Since we are being very productive this morning....here are a few more great movie quotes.  See if you can identify them.

1.  If you have any problems, dial information. Thank you for calling.

2. The twins keep us on Centarian time. It's a 37 hour day. Give it a few months, you'll get used to it, or you'll have a psychotic episode.

3. Think big, think positive. Never show any signs of weakness.  Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high.  Fear...that's the other guy's problem.

4. Wake up!  Wake up Limy fish!

5. Murdock......I'm coming to get you!

6.  It feels like warm apple pie.

7.  What's taters precious?

8. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

9. Do you like movies about gladiators?

10.  I've got a bad feeling about this.

I must suck at this or our tastes are very different because the rest are a blank for me.

Thanks - In my small group of 13, there are 9 women and 2 men.  I rank about 10th from light to heavy.  Most of women are size 6 and below.  Now the rest of the association - that is a different story.  ;-)

Just got back, sorry, I knew all but the one from A fish called wanda, never saw it.

sdalessio - 2009-07-31 8:44 AM

I really need to get out.  So Cars, Nemo, right?  But I'm not sure about the 3rd reference.

I've been caught quoting The Penguins of Madagascar at work twice this week.  I told a co-worker yesterday "That smells fishy" in reference to a partial invitee list of middle managers to a series of working group meetings.

Tony - you have got to watch it!  If you like Monty Python style humor even just a little, it will keep you in stitches...

Hey guys, I still have a couple pages to read, but wanted to drop in before I have to run out to the kids' checkups

Good things about today:

• Five years ago today, my wife and I were married.  I can't believe she agreed to it, but am really glad she did.
• Just had my annual review.  Went much better than expected - no raises for anyone this year, but I still have a job and my new boss is impressed with the work I've done.  Guess she's not monitoring my BT time

Not so good things today:

• Both kids have their routine checkups here in a bit and both are due for shots.  Should be a fun night in the Cadmus household.

 

sdalessio - 2009-07-31 11:26 AM

Congrats on the anniversary and job news!

And don't you just love those checkups where they get shots!  Good luck.

DougRob - 2009-07-31 12:36 PM Question:  During my swim this morning I started feel some minor cramps in my right calf. Nothing that made me want to stop. The top of my left foot felt odd as well. I was supposed to swim 3250 yds. in 1' 5". At 45" I got a tremendous cramp in my left calf and had to float on my back as I tried to work it out and get to the side. I managed to get out and decided I would finish the 1000 uds before dinner tonight as I have 2 hours of bike to get through.

I took two Endurolyte capsules as soon as I got in the house this AM. I am assuming this is a nutrition thing (Suzy?) What should I be doing to prevent this? I am not talking during, although if there is something I can do please let me know, but rather what can I do as preventive maintenance? I do not want to experience anything like that in a longer tri.

Thanks,

Doug

P.S. If you include Sam in  her 13 person group at work then she was only one person short.
