Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 76)

Asalzwed - 2012-12-11 11:47 AM

Ok so, clearly I am  not the girliest of girls (shocker, I know) and I sort of scoffed when I won jewelry at a couple 5Ks BUT I have since put them on a chain and like it a lot. So, I think she would like it.

Thanks Manatees - I am always surprised, pleasantly, that you think of me as a committed kind of person and hard headed enough to do this race.  I soooo don't think of myself that way - then when I look at my training for a week I see why - yeah it's a bit hard core.

Which leads me to something else that REALLY pizzes me off.

So - naughtily - I weigh myself every day.  So on Sunday to Monday I lost 2lbs - yay.  Tuesday, 1lb on Wednesday another lb on.  I have no idea how I can possible gain weight when I train so much and so hard.  I don't diet, I don't eat overly healthily but I believe my calories in are less than my calories out.  I know while training for IM that's what I should concentrate on, diet shouldn't factor in really.

But Dammit makes me cross.  Anyway back to another day of healthy choices - I'm doing a lot of nuts, they are probably calorie loaded but they are good stuff!  I will try harder today.  Grrr.

Oh training today - well OWS with johnny and the gang - terrifying but good.  Get there early and get a 500m warm up in.  It's going to be over 85F today so no lunchtime run, figure I'll do it after the OWS tonight.

LOVE THE MANATEES.

What a cutie-pie. Happy birthday, E! What does she think of the tree?

bcraht - 2012-12-11 2:41 PM

Yes, Yes, Yes!!  That is the picture!  She's beautiful, Jen!  Happy Birthday!

KansasMom - 2012-12-11 2:47 PM I'm feeling a little sick right now. I have a practice Skype with the department chair in 75 minutes. The real thing is on Thursday, with the whole department (okay, only three people, but still.) My lunch isn't settling very well. :-(

Very nice. Your cat looks like my cat.

I won't be posting pictures of our decorating. My 6 year old has been doing all of it. I did talk him into putting the wise men in a far corner of the living room so that they could slowly "make their way from afar" to the nativity. He's planned their route for the next two weeks -- it's not very direct. :-)

ArielLIlB - 2012-12-11 12:56 PM

Salty, love the decor and especially the hip hop wrapping paper!

Jen - she is adorable!!!!  I make the same face when I eat cupcakes. Ha.

TJ - do you get to see that everyday? It's surreal and beautiful!  Very different from Massachusetts!

Asalzwed - 2012-12-11 2:56 PM Awwwww

Happy Birthday E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is my cupcake? 

Artemis - 2012-12-11 2:08 PM

Dude, you missed out on some awesome cupcakes!  We had an assortment including: red velvet, peppermint dark chocolate, snickerdoodle, and egg nog.

Asalzwed - 2012-12-11 1:12 PM

Ohhhhhhhh maaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snickerdoodle cupcakes?? Yum! Then again, I don't have any room here for cupcakes. I bought two bags of Hershey kisses on impulse. One is cherry filled and the other mint. I keep doing the 2 no 3 no 4 for me, 2 for you. Oops I ate all 4 I had better grab 3 more for the road ... I mean 4 more.

Wow, ya'll have been busy. I had today off, so I was able to double up this morning before my Dr appt. Got my Jogo time in.

Jen - The baby is too cute. Enjoy Christmas with her, it is really special at that age.

Felicia - I hope your stomach settles. I agree with TJ, if it is in His plan, it will happen. And you will do awesome, relax and be yourself.

TJ - That pic of the sunset is really awesome. How blessed you are to see that on a daily basis? I hope you fight off the cold before it grows.

Salty - Please tell me you're not one of those dog owners that dresses up the pooch on a regular basis. I have a mental picture of the neighborhood dogs laughing at the one in a sweater.

Brie - Welcome to the Jogo challenge! 

Jo - Yours is one of the logs that I check nearly daily. Your swimming is something I can only dream about.  Maybe you might want to lay off the scale a bit, try weening yourself from daily to every other day, to once a week. Your body is going to continually adjust, heck probably hour by hour. Trying to keep track of it all the time is like nailing Jello to a wall. Just keep doing the training that you are doing, because it is working!
