ATXtri - 2008-11-04 8:40 AM Hi Tan. I feel like I'm in a bit of a funk. Help.

big man bewb hug.....

That helps!! Thanks!!! I'm getting concerned about how much I am giving up in life for IM training and what I will have to give up going forward. It's like life is on pause until June. Not that I'm not okay with that sacrifice. I am. I am just a little nervous about it.

BAJINGO OLE!

Well, I have 3 young sons - I'm sacrificing a LOT of time not being with them.  There's a perspective.

Dude, I'm so not jealous of your position. That would be tough!! At least im single with no kids. I'm only sacrificing the prospect of a future with people.

You're sacrificing travel, wages, not spending time on the boobtube (heh heh, I said "boob", heh heh), some social life activities.  Anything else?

I find just training for regular triathlons (not IM distance) is a pretty big drain on a social life. Even following the training plan for the Oly here on BT, it had many days of double work-outs. And when you live in a place where you have to drive somewhere else to run or bike, it eats up time. I have to say no to a lot of things. Esp. when I've already got a weeknight or two eaten up by other things I do, like choir. I feel that in the spring, choir and bible study are going to be missed on occasion to get in training.

Yea, but that doesn't really feel like a sacrifice for me. I'm happy to give those things to this sport.

I think I've given up every other activity I've ever done for this sport. I'm okay with it, knowing it's temporary. I train, work, sleep, eat, spend time with family and occasionally see friends. That is all. I like it.

lisac957 - 2008-11-04 11:32 AM Monday - ran a crap ton of errands. New bra - biofit at Vickies. Ladies you must at least try this one on. Trust me. .

I had one and I was not a big fan. I just bought this one and I love it. (link may be NSFW - Vickie's site)

Hmm! I have never tried on an Angels bra. But yesterday when I went in, I explained to the sales lady that my bewbage does not even fill an A cup. So sad. And she recommended a few including the Biofit, which she said runs a bit small so an A should be fine. It is! My bewbage finally fills a bra! Haha.

My problem was that the biofit was small. I'm a little bigger, so I don't usually like all the padding, but I want it to be supportive. This is my favorite of all the ones I tried on. The cups are made out of memory foam or something like it. It's super comfy.

mammary foam?

That made me giggle.  Thanks!

Me too, heh!

I tried one on where the lady said "and this one will push all of your breast tissue to the center, creating cleavage." YIIICK! I do not want all of my breast tissue pushed and shoved around. I'm not THAT hard up for cleavage!

I don't, so training doesn't have an impact on family face time.  Sometimes the phone time gets difficult to schedule with everyone's activities. I've never trained for an IM though.  I realize that this question wasn't directed at me, I hope it's okay that I've answered it as though it were my own.

I still see my parents, brother and nephew once a week. That's as high on my priority list as training and work... okay it's higher. Luckily, i haven't had to sacrifice anthing there. We just get creative on how and when we can see each other.

My family has been fantastic about rearranging their plans around my workouts. I'm lucky.

It is a triathlon board after all - it's okay

I don't have any family really nearby either. My sis would ignore me 90% of the time whether or not I train for triathlons - she only called me the other night because her boyfriend had to go to work last minute (he was in the mortgage biz and we know how that turned out, so he's been bartending on the side, to supplement his income), so she was left without plans, and she can't entertain herself for very long.

It's the hanging out with other friends/dating thing that concerns me. I blow off my friends enough because of training and they're fine with it - but then I can't do spotaneous stuff. But I feel like a prospective guy would not. Unless he were a triathlete or at least a runner or a cyclist, etc and had his own trainig to do. And if he lived in my general area.  Guy I have a date with on Friday lives kinda far away in MD, about a 45 minute drive, without DC traffic. Sure, I've been slacking for the last month or so, but once stuff starts up again, I have a feeling this won't go very far...

See. Calling it `breast tissue' is not acceptable. Please refrain and use `bewbs' or `bewbies' or `breasteseses' or some simliar venacular. Don't get all anatomyish on us.

We just get creative on how and when we can see each other. My family has been fantastic about rearranging their plans around my workouts. I'm lucky.

QUITE!  Usually it's the other way around.



I know!!!! My mom has even offered to cook for me while I am training so that I can keep up with my nutrition. Oh and she offered to help me clean my house periodically. Yes, my parents are way too good for me. They completely spoil me.

ATXtri - 2008-11-04 8:40 AM Hi Tan. I feel like I'm in a bit of a funk. Help.

big man bewb hug.....

That helps!! Thanks!!! I'm getting concerned about how much I am giving up in life for IM training and what I will have to give up going forward. It's like life is on pause until June. Not that I'm not okay with that sacrifice. I am. I am just a little nervous about it.

BAJINGO OLE!

Well, I have 3 young sons - I'm sacrificing a LOT of time not being with them.  There's a perspective.

Dude, I'm so not jealous of your position. That would be tough!! At least im single with no kids. I'm only sacrificing the prospect of a future with people.

You're sacrificing travel, wages, not spending time on the boobtube (heh heh, I said "boob", heh heh), some social life activities.  Anything else?

Yea, but that doesn't really feel like a sacrifice for me. I'm happy to give those things to this sport.

Family time?  You live close to any relatives, Mom, Dad, etc?
EDITED - Nevermind.  Saw the response above Tonyolio's.

I still see my parents, brother and nephew once a week. That's as high on my priority list as training and work... okay it's higher. Luckily, i haven't had to sacrifice anthing there. We just get creative on how and when we can see each other. My family has been fantastic about rearranging their plans around my workouts. I'm lucky.

QUITE!  Usually it's the other way around.

Will she adopt me and 2goggs? Pleeeeeeeeaaaaasssssse????
