MAY "You MAY Pick" Challenge--ALL WELCOME! (Page 8)

Ok looks like I am going to have to change my goals since have done a number on my ankle. I am still going to try to get my strength workouts in though it will have to be upper body. I wonder if hobbling around on crutches counts since my shoulders are screaming from it.

ArielLIlB - 2012-05-09 10:24 PM So, I found out that I will be meeting with a client in cape cod next WEdnesday then staying the night down there and hopping on a ferry for a site inspection with another client, investigator and expert on Thursday, which means I'll miss a coached track, coached swim and coached cycling.  BUT, apparently the hotel I'm staying at has a nice pool AND is adjacent to the "Cape Code Shining Sea Bike Path" so I'm gonna bring my wheels and hit the path after my client meeting, providing the weather is nice.  Then I'll hit the pool for a little swim.  So, I will count those activities as taking the palce of my coached workouts.

Ask me for some random advice about cycling and swimming and that will make them coached workouts.

Woo hoo! Great whites are winning, no questions ASKED! I've swam twice in the last two days, with another OWS planned on Saturday morning. So I'm well on my way there. 

On the new job front, hubby and I had a nice long chat over a nice tall pint and have come to a meeting of the minds about moving. I spent some time yesterday scouring the business directories in Ashe-vegas to begin strategizing on likely job prospects. Chances are, I'll work in a restaurant, bakery, or coffee house again (a 12-year veteran barista here), but I'm also looking complementing that with a part-time gig at a YMCA in member services or something of that ilk. Eventually I want to end up in the coaching/bike-fitting business, but I will do what I have to do to get started. As long as I am busy, I am happy And a new job MUST occur, because my eyes are on the SWAN, AJ!!!!!

This shark has not been back in the water -- all the high school kids who made sectionals were using the pool.  I decided their need was greater than mine.  I don't have scholarships and school offers pending on my performance!  I have increased my biking efforts instead!

Baby steps!  Good luck.

One of my goals is logging my food on myfitnesspal.com.  Keeps me honest (as in not putting anything in my mounth without thinking about it).  Going good and feeling better too!

Had to go run in the lightening to make sure the sharks stay on top.  So of course I am now in trouble with the other half.  hey, i didn't get struck or anything... It's all about the sacrifices to stay ahead. 

Oh and I will sport it with dignity, class and pride!  

If you like I can check out jobs in Vegas at Harrah's and their other casinos. I am a chef at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe. I usually get a listing or can access their job listings. I can look into it and let you know what is available by Saturday or Sunday.

I just need to know what you're looking for.

No cupcakes today! I'm on a roll. lol

Keep up the good work everyone.

Funny how when I leave my vitamins by the coffee maker, I have no problem remembering to take them!

Go Sea Beagles oops I  mean Reefers

Oh!!!!  I like your thinking!  The cabinet above my coffee pot may become a home for coffee mugs AND vitamins!!!! 

Seriously!! I know from our mentor group that everyone is very active, so let's get those stats updated! Had coached track and then coached swim this morning - almost didn't get out of bed, but my Manatee pride go me up!!

"manatee pride", I like that!  Way to get your work out in.

Beer float?  Please explain, in great detail so I can replicate.  I assume you do not mean root beer.  I have had stout milkshakes before but never a float
