Master 1790  | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) lyssa-gator - 2009-03-02 1:13 PM ok susie, time for me to read you the riot act. turning 30 ROCKS. you get to be a grown up now, people will actually take you seriously because you aren't a "kid in your 20's" anymore! 30's are WAY cooler than 20's!! i did my first tri 5 months after turning 30, i spent my 20's being a fat smoker!! embrace your 30-rock it-make it work for YOU!! i'm about to turn 32, and even though it seems weird (even still) my 30's are kicking my 20's arse!! LOL aww ... thanks for the pep talk. I just feel like I wasted all of my 20s being fat. But, on the other hand, if I don't change now, I'll be fat for all of my 30s. |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Sledge - 2009-03-02 9:02 AM Hey everybody! I hope you are all having a non-snowy day. My dh got stuck in Atlanta yesterday because it was snowing -- SNOW IN ATLANTA??? But he made it home this morning. I'm hobbling around a little bit today. I didn't run this morning, but do plan to swim this afternoon. But in general I don't feel too bad, so maybe I didn't push hard enough yesterday? That's what Torture Dan says, and he also told me, " I would have thought the first 6 miles would be much slower than the last 6 miles because of the wind. That last kick tells me you had plenty left. (I am so going to make you hurt this Spring on the track.)"
Uh oh, I am so in trouble...
man he is TORTURE DAN! hoping he told you good run! |

You're (almost) in your 30's now and that is awesome! I never thought I'd see 30 when I was 18, couldn't imagine what it would be like. But well on the other side, now, and I'm sure glad to be here. Stay warm today! Trish |

Master 1790 | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Everyone - The weight demons are coming at me again. Or, as Dietgirl would say, it's a Fat Girl Freak Out. I am sitting here just terrified of losing weight. I'm almost crying. I know that might not make any sense, but it happens every time I get about this weight. I've gotten to this weight probably 5-10 times and then retreated out of fear. The fear is not from failing, but rather from succeeding. I'm not sure I can adequately explain why, and people would look like I'm crazy if I told them this. But seeing 197.2 on the scale, and gunning for 196, just freaks me out. I've been writing in my journal about it ... that it's safe to lose weight. That I am doing great and just to keep going. That I am really working hard at it right now and that's the difference. I'm just not sure what to do to keep myself on track AND distract myself from this fear. And I'm not really sure what the fear is ... only that I've never been below 190. It's totally uncharted territory. Any ideas of what to do here? One thought might be to abandon the scale completely for now, but I'm not sure that's the best thing to do because I do love the cool spreadsheet, and I'm going to Weight Watchers, so I guess I'd know. |

I say lose the scale....feel the weight disappear in your clothing.....try it for a month! maybe we should have the no scale challenge! I'm in! I have to say I have been weighing myself more lately then ever! and I often do not like what I see...especially when you work really hard to not eat things and you work out daily...and see little or no loss...also realize Susie that you are a beautiful person with or without the weight..you will always be Susie...whether skinny or when you have more weight on! I have a shelf in my closet where I put some of my SKINNY clothes! these are clothes that I do not fit into...when I first started this shelf I tried on some pants that were sooo cute, they barely went up over my calves...not a chance of them going over my thighs! I had and still have THUNDER thighs and am pear shaped..I inherited a big buhunkus from my mom..even though it looks cute on her! |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) So, a little bit of recovery going on here. I swam this evening (yay!), and muddled through it somehow. They finally posted the results from the HM yesterday. I didn't place as well as I had hoped -- 10th out of 88 in my age group. But the top 12 ran sub-9 minute miles, which isn't too bad for us 50+ women. |

Okay, we heard the promise...and I promise to (gently) harass you tomorrow until I see it show up in your log. Congrats on getting out there for your run! Hmmm, as far as the "free pass" option goes, I think that I'm going to tough it out as well. I've given up candy, cookies, ice cream, cakes, etc. For some reason, it's easier for me to give it up entirely until Easter. |
