The Ghoulies are taking off the pounds in February!!! (Page 6)

LOL. You will totally smoke 'em, Stacie!

Finished a swim....now im fending off the desire to go have a snack...lol...

Haha...It was pretty saawwwweeeet! I have a scapel and I know how to use it...you're right you better watch out! :P

Also...chlorine is great for getting the smell off...just so you all know...I know you all want to. haha

I'll keep that in mind next time I have the need. Thanks.

My vote is to go for it. It's not like you will be sitting around doing nothing for a week. You will still be on your bike, you will still be testing your body. If it isn't immediately before the IM I think you should go for it.

That's my $.02

3 short weeks of freaking out, piece of cake. Ohhhh cake

Sweetie, 300 meters there TOTAL. You could swim that in your sleep.

This is what I heard the swim moms telling the girls in the locker room the other day...

You don't have to win, you just have to do your best. Pick someone who looks faster than you then just try to beat that person. If you did your best that's all anyone can ask.

Stacie - Do YOUR best, and you'll be fine!

So the next time I need my steak cut I should call you?

Good morning everyone!

I will get together a list of the music I have tonight. I got side tracked this weekend with the kiddos and typing papers for the fourth grade.

Every year in the elementary school the kids write stories then the school prints them out and binds them into books for the kids. Because of my job I don't really get to go into the school much to volunteer but I can type. So I volunteered to type up the stories the kids have written. It took longer than I thought, mainly because of they way the pages are formatted, and also because it is REALLY hard to read some of the kids handwriting.

I'm done for now. I'll be working on second grade papers soon. I can't wait to try and read that handwriting. One of the worst ones I saw though was from my own son. I had to have him translate several words for me. Guess what I've been having him work on this week.... yeah, he's been practicing his handwriting.

As for the weight loss...

I was doing really well yesterday until after my daughter's cheerleading class. I had a hamburger happy meal.

That put me 278 calories over what I should have had yesterday. I will make it up today though.

4 mile run and 30 minutes on the trainer. Plus some Yoga this evening with the kiddos.

Cool!  Cool!  Cool!  With all that swimming you've been doing you're going to do great!

That's what I've been thinking.  It's still 442 miles on the bike, although I'm be consuming pie and beer as training fuel which wouldn't exactly be practicing my ironman nutrition.

Don't sweat it.  It's just one day.  Just focus on what you can do today and you'll be fine.

Alright, I'm to work. You ghoulies behave.  Don't do anything I wouldn't do

Neal - I would think 442 miles on the bike while you are consuming pie and beer would be harder work than an IM where you actually have proper nutrition.

Morning gang.  I got a nice swim in.  I wore my new lime green cap with a skull and cross bones on it (b'day present).  It made me swim faster.

Bad A$$ swimming *Toppage*

MORNING EVERYONE...

thanks for your words of encouragement 'bout the swim meet.

we have some UNBELIEVABLY SUPER FLY swimmers on our Masters team but i've been assured that is not the case across the board ie other teams.

it should be interesting.

my only 'concern' is that im an endurance swimmer, not a short and fast swimmer, that's why i chose the longer events.

i cant go fast but i get faster the longer i go!  so hopefully my training will get put to use.

that or.....

perhaps i should get a BAD AZZED SWIM CAP, like KIM. 

that'll make me superfly.

Now I'm a bit jealous. I'm gonna have to find me a swim cap with a skull and cross bones. I already have mechanical pencils, and a bikini with skulls and crossbones.

im off to the Y to run and ST....

then its a marathon personal errand running day.

i have to get my hair cut.

eyebrows waxed OUCH!

ive been meaning to get some casual going out for drinks clothes, HAVE NONE.

wonder why?  tee hee!



man oh man do i need a PERSONAL STYLIST.

im a complete moron when it comes to clothes unless its running, swimming or cyling apparel.  LOL.


im hopeless.

i really am.


my nephews friend (my nephew that died) are throwing him a party on the 27th AND after the swim meet they have a BIG party, so i have lots of occassions.

now i just need the clothes.

shouldnt come nakked, though....

i could.

people would probably talk, dontcha think???

LOL.


so hopefully i can score something cute!

wish me luck!

Morning all.
It is lining up to be another nose-to-the grindstone kinda day. (Doesn't that sound PAINFUL?)

Speaking of painful. JULES- I hope you are not too banged up. That was some kinda bike ride. Glad you didn't break anything and take the advice.. get a new helmut (maybe with skull and crossbones )

Neal, Two words about RAGBAI: DO IT.. Same as Melindy- do it when you can.

Anne, don't sweat the happy meal. Just keep track and keep moving forward. It is all about learning to make good choices.

Stacy- You will do great in your meet. You got the endurance, you can work on the speed and do your best. and post photos when you are done.

YOU GO!
Oh.... you mean clothes.....
