The best advice I heard from someone was to just start again. "Even 30 minute run is better than nothing."  

x2! I took a few weeks off in June and it was SOOOO hard to get back - I just wanted to lay on the couch - it must be 1 billion times worse for you Cheri . 

But I think it did help mentally when I got out even for a short walk or a short - SOMETHING. Didn't have to be big or long (heh) but just something I could put in my training log and SEE.

I should revive my training log.

You should. Cheri too (if you don't). We can all support and encourage each other If we can see what you're doing. I log all of my crazy workouts and I don't even swim bike or run!

I dont know if I'm so-motivated. I did a 2-hour bike ride this morning.

Nice.

I think it was easier to train last year when I was part time and leaving at 3 every day and had fridays off.  It's much tougher now I'm working 40-45 hours a week and have to take care of the whole house by myself on top of that.

Nice.  Something to do while the "housemate" is in Chicago living it up.

So it's easier to train with more free time? I'm shocked.

Go figure

meh, you are probably the first person to look there in years.

I'm ashamed of it. 

Some stalkers you are!  I did that a month ago and NOW you find out?  Slackers.

Cheri, you can do it, get back to training.  Build the habit now as the weather will quickly change making it easier to bury yourself under blankets for warmth and skip a day of doing something.

Don't worry about your performance right now you will get that back.  Just remember you doing anything is more than what 80% of the population will do this month or year.

Good advice you gave yourself!  What's realistic training-wise?  1/2 hour some days, longer on others?  Think about the specific time you'll get it in instead of just "sometime tomorrow".  When I go through a motivational slump, little things turn into reasons to put off a workout.  If I don't plan when I'm going to work out the next day, it's less likely to happen.  If I know the workout is going to be early morning, I try to make it as easy as possible to get out the door by setting out clothes and having everything ready the night before.  Sounds like you want to get moving again, so I'm sure you will!

They probably wanted to comment about your overall hotness, but decided that a nice innocent compliment about your eyebrows could start a conversation and lead to good things. Did you start a conversation with them?

Hi TAN. Nice to be back.

Brag time.

There is a show on the CW that is called "remodeled".  Some guy goes around and fixes up modeling agencies.  Gets ride of the old "talent" and does an office makeover and restocks the agency with new models...

The wife was on it and one of the "new faces" they found and made an appearance and the guys says some nice things.  Which is stupid, because she already worked for them.  Some of the talent they got "rid of" are our friends, SOOOOO, kind of akward?

Reality shows are far from real, BTW.

I bumped into a lady at the grocery store with a REDICULOUS body.  as in hot...

That always motivates me...

But she was buying rice cakes and spinich while I was buying twizzlers and popcorn.  I wonder if that could be part of it?

Because "you have such beautiful eyes" is soooo overdone. 

So you think.  I give most women a once over...

I just don't stare or be a pig about it.  Just general people watching.

SO, you are noticed.

ok, I am going to start tomorrow!  Come hell or high water I am going to break a sweat by myself....he he.

thanks guys, I need this!!! 

Can can you all pray (or send vibes) that this surgery holds and I don't reinjure myself. 

I know why there are so many CoJ arguments.

It can almost be physically painful to figuratively bite one's tongue.  I drive to work almost enraged/frustrated about having to NOT say something about the wife's obscenely large clothes colection that is taking over the house and displacing everything else.  There is NO reason to have that many clothes.  You can't wear all of them even if you wore something new every day for a couple years.

So the point I'm trying to make.  It's HARD to bit the tongue.  People can't do it and have to post something instead of walking away in pain NOT saying something.

hey they uses one of my co-workers houses in hyde park for this show in chicago....i think it was this one?

I always wonder too, so many men will ompliment me on my hands.  Your hands are beautiful.....

I always want to say back....want them all over you??  But routinely say thank you and smile.
