Simple solution. Just tell everyone to stop having birthdays and babies. LOL Its 11:30am and so far we have had: - 1 baby shower - 2 birthday cakes And I have a lunch meeting thing at which pizza will be provided! Ok... its not like this everyday but... free food isnt as uncommon as I would expect it to be  Well that would eliminate cakes! What about the pizza? No. Pizza is not allowed to be eliminated. :P |

And I wasn't even running. So I will probably skip it, unless the weather warms up some. (I'm still hoping it'll do that.) But there's a PANCAKE BREAKFAST after the event. Pancakes, bagels, muffins, etc. I don't know how warm they'll be, but it'll definitely be a carb loading session. LOL Eh, we'll see what happens. Maybe it'll warm up enough that I can do it.... D001 - 2009-11-30 10:33 PM I have a 5K planned for this weekend. But the temp is going to be 27F (-2C)! And I don't do cold well. (It makes my asthma flare up.) Bleh bleh bleh! Not sure what to do about this. (Other than move south! LOL) Bah, once you get moving, you won't even notice the frost bite! :P If it's a health issue, then it has to be your call. If it's a wimping out issue because it might be hard then don't be like me and not do it. You can do the distance, you can survice and you will do well. As an added bonus, you can head home afterwards and totally justify lots of warm sugary treats! Even if they're storebought, you can nuke them a bit and say that you need their warmth, along with some hot chocolate, gingerbread coffee or other beverage of your choice. Hrm - maybe that attitude is why I can't lose any weight... If they're good pancakes, I'd crawl the whole way but I'm a sucker for pancakes like that. Wait, I thought you lived in one of the Carolinas...just how far elevated are you? It's not even that cold in New York! |

I need to move back to the sticks where the only good pizza was a 15 minute drive away. lol - I love the suggestion to tell them to stop having birthdays and babies! Since my job has gone to an "open office" design, we've been having much fewer of these celebrations. Usually, if something special is actually remembered, it's an "oh crud - he's leaving tomorrow and we should do something. I'll grab some cupcakes that we can cut in half while I'm out at lunch." I have to admit that it has made life for this weak-willed-eater much easier. |

Im sure it would loose its novelty value fast!!!! It all depends on where you live. I like a little snow in the city but hate big storms because there is no place for it all to go. In areas where they don't get snow often, it isn't much fun because most people don't know how to handle it and, after their initial amusement by it, all heck breaks loose on the roads and the grocery stores look like armageddon is coming instead of some frozen water. The best, for me at least, are places where they are used to snow because they can handle it, it looks pretty in nature and most of the residents consider it "just another storm." Upstate New York and New England are like this and it makes snow a much more enjoyable experience. |

The only thing that really saves me, and why I can never move to Chicago, is that I LOVE deep dish pizza much more than the New York style thin crust. Combine this with the 36 cupcakes, 12 from 3 different places, that one of our vendors sent over yesterday and you can say my caloric intake was a little high. Hrm - I have a fridge. It holds the leftovers from my meals really well. :P |

Master 1792 | Subject: RE: Super Cats Mentor Group - CLOSED Sulcus - hope you wifey is doing well! Pancakes...have you all seen the kind that come in a whip cream looking spray can? You spray it in the pan and they cook up like you made the batter from scratch! It's the craziest thing! Cat - good luck on the fridge! I can't imagine not having mine...we actually have 2 (one in the garage). We don't drink our water from the tap, so we have the one in the garage that holds just drinks. Speaking of weather...it was total crap here yesterday (Arkansas). It rained about 3 inches and never got over 40 degrees. I was miserable. Sunny today though |

But I DO have a fridge and have spent all weekend making sure the ice compartment is FULL! Its the little things... I have left overs to eat my way through from my bro being there.... I hear you on the getting moving... Im still having health issues which makes it a bit of a delicate balancing act but really I use it as an excuse when a nice gentle walk or a swim or a ride would probably be good for me both mentally and physically. The good news is some time soon I will be getting my old roadie back so hoping that setting that up on the trainer at home will be a bit of added motivation! |
