Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 91)

Congrats!!! That's such a great accomplishment!

That is super impressive!!! Congrats and enjoy that Shiner!

Great work Justin...just imagine how fast you will be after a nice shave.

I'm estimating 10 minutes off the sprint swim time alone.  

Awesome job all the way around! I know how rewarding that is...and how good a cold Shiner Bock is as well. Enjoy, man!

Well my coffee and chocolate habit are in steep competition but it's dark chocolate which has antioxidants and is *good* for me.  I am a total chocolate snob.  If they could make a coffee/chocolate flavored wine I'd only have one vice - LOL  Actually my new fav is Hornsby's Hard Cider - YUM!  Though Ken picked up some Mike's so I'm a happy girl.  And YES Happy Hump Day!

Congratulations again!  Of course Justin weighs himself more in a day than I weigh myself in a month but Yay for You!

Awesome Justin!  I knew you would be passing through 200 fairly close to the DU.  Perfect timing!

I saw 189 lbs. for the first time in 10 years today.  Although I was 200+ only for about 4 years, I have been 190+ my entire marriage.  I was 185 when I met my wife and that remains the goal (180-185).  I am not interested in 170s, so if we end up there Iwill need to push the weights again to build back some muscle or just adapt a milkshake a day diet plan.

Um, I have a kind of severe aversion to body hair.

I just threw up a little bit.


That said, congrats Justine!  That's an awesome accomplishemnt!

Am I the only one who has strange gym stories?

This one happened last night, and I thought it was pretty good.

I'm in the locker room, having just come from work, changing.  I have a total routine when I change, and it involves leaving my shoes on until I can sit down to swap them out because I don't want to be barefoot on the floor.

So I had stripped off my dress and was hanging it up, standing there in under garments and heels.

Random woman walks up and says, "you have a great belly button."

Nothing special about that part of my anatomy, so I just smiled and said, "thanks."

Then she says, "Yes, I'm a lesbian but don't worry, I'll stop hitting on you once you get completely naked," and then walks away.

It was probably one of the more bizzare exchanges that I've ever had with another human being.  I'm not a huge fan of getting hit on at the gym, regardless of gender, but that was just strange.

At least she was really really hot.

Hehe.

That reminds me of a movie, wait, never mind.....

That's awesome!!!  Congratulations Justine!!

Hilarious!  Nicole, this is only a story you could have   I can't wait until Justin & Todd chime in on this one....should be some solid entertainment

Yah, I know I'm kind of asking for it by posting that, but really it was strange.

Of all things, my belly button?

I don't now that anyone of us are going to top that.  Very weird.  But I've learnt that there are some weird fetishes out there so maybe she had a belly button one?!?!

Ok, not going to wait for the guys.....innie or outie?  Post a pic and we'll decide how strange it is.

Haha that's hilarious! Can't say I could top this story!!

Haha, it's an innie and I swear to god, there's nothing special about it.

I used to have it pierced, but don't anymore.

It's just your average belly button.

And once he.ll freezes over I'll post a pic of my tummy online.   No freaking way.  I'll leave that to all the tri studs and studettes that post over in COJ.

Can you elaborate on this part?  It would help to visualize the story better.

Nicole - that is pretty strange.
Years ago when I was a personal trainer there was this gal who walked around the locker room naked.  Now, I'm no prude and nudity is somewhat of a hobby for me however, this was pretty extreme.  I've known women to leave the shower or come in from the pool and 'air dry' not my style but I guess I get it.  This gal used to come to the gym, do some moderate cardio on the eliptical and then strip down and simply walk around naked like it was happy hour or something.  I would have to go in to go to the bathroom, make a quick change or mess with my hair and there she would be.  She would approach me and ask me questions as if she were fully clothed and we were making small talk at some party.  WEIRD!

I guess that is one of the advantages of working out at a YMCA during the day with mostly stay at home moms or retirees.  Not much of a meat market but that's a good thing.


On another note I met with the ART therapist dude again this morning and he massaged (beat me with a baseball bat) my IT band again and also watched me run outside a bit which I think was helpful.  I need to ice my knee but he wants me to go on a short run later today if I get the chance.  I'll hopefully have some yellow in my logs soon.

Ditto on what Kelli said.  I can only imagine what will go through Justin and Todd's head when they read your story.  And no, nothing like that has ever happened to me.  I do try to avoid the gym as much as possible though.  I like using the gym the good Lord gave us - OUTSIDE!  

Anyone else getting tired of showering twice a day?    Once it warms up here in the mornings I'll probably do the swim and bike both in the morning but ugh, feeling water logged.

That thought totally crossed my mind after the run this morning. Not so much that I mind the showering, but all the towels and extra laundry (especially on swim days). Our water bills have definitely spiked over the last couple of months.

I was just whining about this to my wife this weekend.  I have never had such dry skin in my life.  She told me to quit crying about it.  Glad I can at least get some sympathy here. 

Water logged and dry skin! You should have seen my wife's face when I asked where she kept her moisturizer?
