March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge (Page 29)

Oooh, but I did get toppage though.  That somewhat makes up for it. 

working out is never sad. You did Something and that is infinitely more than Nothing

quoting yourself, however ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Just stopping by quickly on my Sunday morning but had to say Congratulations Emma! What a wonderful wonderful way to propose and make your spring break even more amazing!

great minds do think alike, you know!!

I called my mom right after to tell her and dad.  I had told her we were going around noon but ended up going at 1:30.  James had apparently told her it would be over spring break sometime but hadn't decided when.  When I told her yesterday we were going on a helicopter ride, she figured he was going to propose so when I told her she was like "I've been waiting by my phone for almost 2 hours for this phone call"    I honestly couldn't have thought of a more perfect way for him to propose.   

Hi Yanti!

Multiple levels of success tonight! 

Thing 1 found a prom dress.  THis girl hates shopping and found a dress almost immediately and it looks stunning on her.

Miss Thing's show choir won first place in their competition tonight.

hahaha,and this is why I love you Yanti!  Don't let me get away with the whining... 

I am just a grumpy snort today.  I am impatient with the healing process... and I couldn't button my favorite jeans today.  Both because my butt and thighs are NOT aero these days and I only have one freakin' hand to do it with!

Ahhhhh...  but tomorrow is another day.

Yanti - I came across this photo today - taken 7 months ago - and thought of you!

Awsome proposal! Congratulations!

Beautiful kitty! I LOVE cats. Nothing is better than a feline.

April is coming soon! Any ideas peeps? I have a few things that I would like to focus on, and some that I should be focusing on... such as bringing back some bike and swim training...

On a non-crusher challenge note (I assume most people won't be interested, so we will still need a regular type of challenge), there is a 21 day vegan challenge starting on April 4th that sprouted on another website. i was thinking about doing it and putting it into the challenge forum to see if other BTers are interested. So far it's me and Yanti. Any other takers? I think that we could award one point for each vegan-food-only day, everyone trying for the full 21. [Again, this isn't the regular challenge, please don't run!!]

I know my challenge for April will be to stick to the training plan - get all my sessions in as planned and stick to a good diet so I can fuel those training sessions. My first race of the season - a supersprint, tho, so not so stressful - is coming up May 15.

Which leads nicely to the other thing - sorry - I like meat. ,
I was vegetarian for several years, actually, then went vegan for almost a year but got SO sick (and I'm a Registered Nutritionist, I know how to do it right!) ... my ND actually wrote on a prescription pad "eat meat 4 times per week" ... my body is one that needs it to stay healthy & strong.

With the sun shining, I couldn't resist getting outside today.  It wasn't pretty...  but it did feel great to have sun shining on my face, test out my new shades and to finally see where I'm starting from this tri season.  I have a lot of work cut out for me!

I think my first goal in Apil is going to be to figure out what my plan is...  stitches come out Wednesday and I'm going to have to talk to the doc about how far and how fast I'm allowed to push the wrist.  It's going to have to include some S/B/R though because my first sprint is at the end of June.

As a wacky goal, I'm contemplating seeing if I can give up cheese for a month.  I LOVE cheese.  Any and all cheese.  I think I could lose 5 lbs a lot easier if I wasn't always stuffing my face with cheese.  I'm weird...  I can turn down potato chips but can't turn down cheese.  And I need to lose some weight to fit into my wetsuit by June. 

Funny, my actual comment got kind of eaten ... I said Maggie bear looks like a big giant wonderful indecent snuggly plush toy ... and yes reminds me of how my krazy kats sleep.

Yes - she is 16 lbs of nothing but fur-covered snuggles, and on occasion an exceptional amount of drool ... I think she'd crawl inside me if she could, if she thought it meant she could be closer to me ...

Morning All!

Ok, so vegan, no way on this earth I would subject myself to that - sorry! I could probably almost manage veggie but not vegan!

April - I am up for any challenge! I need to start swimming again, up my run mileage and ditto my bike, long races coming up....I will incorporate those goals somehow...

On another note, I am pretty sure I have achilles tendonitis (sp?), well I would put money on my self diagnosis. So, anyone know how to fix it? I won't stop training so that isn't an option, I just need advice on not making it worse. Just ice and anti inflammatories? Apart from for a confirmatory diagnosis is it worth me seeing my physio, can they do anything for me that I can't?

I know you guys know pretty much everything so thanks in advance for your advice!
