March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge (Page 5)

Am I too late? Can I still join?   I’ve been thinking about my goals for this month. 

1)      Spend quality time (not only feeding, transporting or doing homework) with one of my two kids every day.

2)      Follow my training plan every day.

3)      Every day do at least one of the tasks I have been postponing to do at work or at home because the urgent gets in the way.

4)      Sleep at least 7 hours a day (this is the most difficult challenge of all for me).

5)      I also need to loose 2.1 Kgs, any chance of squeezing in this fifth goal?

Thanks!  Good night! 

So sorry to hear,  I hope it all goes well! God bless. 

I find that swimming with a cold causes everything to move into my face and throat (hard to breath and phlem build up). If you don't get this, I'd say go for it!

Welcome to the challenge Jeff!

I take meticulous care of my tri bike.  This afternoon, I noticed a piece of metal stuck in the back tire!  Arrrraaahhh!!!!  Bad timing!!!!

I took my bike down to the bike shop in hopes that they would have a good 650 tire.  I knew my chances of finding that tire would be slim to none in my rural, 700, loving part of the state.  Anyway, the guy that does most of the work on my bike said that he would take a chance and run my tires, as is, in the race rather than put crappy, slow tires on the bike.  He then proceeded to tell me that if I flat, there will be plenty of people behind me to tell someone to pick me up.  Thanks, man.  He also told me I better get some new tires ordered after the race.

Does anyone have any luck with a particular tire?  What do you like?  It's tire poll time, my friends!

BTW....I'm shooting for the women's course record.  It's quite do-able if the weather cooperates.

That sucks! Hopefully the metal will sit pretty until after the race.

I hope you meet all of your goals! I use sunblock religiously but many of my friends won't wear it.

Not too late at all! There will probably only be 4 slots on the spreadsheet, but you can track as many as you want on the side. I had too many once and just chatted about my progress to help keep my motivation up.

So this morning I have planned to go to hot yoga... I am a little intimidated because I'm going alone, I don't really know what to expect, I'm not a graceful swan, and I'm chubby. Oh, I also have a smidgen of social anxiety (self diagnosed) that sometimes keeps me from doing things like this. I'm telling you because it will help give me the final push into the building after I park the car, which I anticipate will be the most challenging part of my morning.

Here's to flexi body and good health! And hopefully a welcoming beginner friendly atmosphere.

Good luck and have fun!  You'll be alright.

Some kinda crazy core work session with my trainer today!!

Trying boxing this week, ought to be fun.  We would have done it today but he didn't have his stuff for that since I was his only client today.

WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET!!!

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dFkzemgwX3dUbEJJakc4Q0x1cUJ3ZWc&hl=en&authkey=CIaP_9YH

that's a direct linkie, no sign-in required. Of course, there's nothing ON the spreadsheet, but that's YOUR responsibility to input up to 4 goals :D

Currently there are two 'teams' -- we can meld them into one team if necessary, or whatever you want, Melissa. And if we need more slots for names, etc., can do can do.

Sorry it took so long--had a cat crisis to attend to. HAHAHAHAHA I guess I cursed myself when I said my goals would be to keep myself and Suicide alive ... only in this case it was Biscuits.

Not a fun thing to discover just before a race but at least you know about it so you will be ready for it if something happens. I hope things work out and you do get that record.

Sorry to hear. Best of luck on kicking it. I hope to see you among the ranks of those of us that have beaten it.

Hey Yanti! Thanks for putting the spreadsheet together. I hope you and your cat is doing better. We sure have missed you lately.

Awww {{{MELON PRESS}}} Paul

btw the spreadsheet has me and my goals as an example. I still need to input formulas and such so that percentages get calculated, but it's comin'!

Nice toppage you have there! glad i inspired it

Saw you pokin' around the spreadsheet, too ... almost 'chatted' with you in there, pretty funny (if you're on and someone else is also on making changes, they show up nearly live)

Someone is cutting some terrible farts here.

1. glad it's not me.

2. hope it's Biscuits, that means she's digesting well

The whole family is on the bed in solidarity with Biscuits. Very cute how Lisa and Suicide have pitched in to care for Biscuits. AAAAARGH disgusting fishy belch from Suicide. Actually, froggy--she's left a half-eaten frog under the dining-room table. Thanks, Suicide. I know that's just for me. Oh, and a cockroach leg too? How thoughtful!!!

You are such an awesome friend, fighter, and Manatee, Will!!! Lots of big {{{MELON PRESSES}}} for you to reach ALL your goals!!!
