Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 95)

Good work both on standing up with yourself regarding the trainer situation and in call blocking your ex. 

Did you say that it was his first 10k?

Oh no!  :-/  Take care of yourself. 

The rule is that you can't be on the DL and on the Racers list at the same time so you'll need to pick one

Speaking of DL Racers, any updates from Darren?

Had an appointment with my endocrinologist this morning about my hypothyroidism.  Levels are still fluctuating a lot.  He doesn't have a lot of ideas on weight loss.  There was a 1-year study at my university of hypothyroidism patients following a strict diet and exercise regimen.  The average weight loss was 6 - 8 pounds over the year.  Not very reassuring.  In other news, he is retiring this summer.

On the plus side, I am wearing my purple nyan cat shirt and that always makes me think of Yanti and be happy.

I bet we could get at least 3 people who'd want to be coached by him between me, you and Kristen.  The Aussie accent should get a few more to the pool.

Hang in there!  Our bodies are smart.  Hopefully, keeping your levels relatively stable for a while will allow your body to figure things out.  In the meantime, you have a beautiful family, a new bike and Age Group Nationals to focus on!

I'll come up from Raleigh for that!

YES!!! big warm purple moose {MELON PRESS}. Hm. Man, Wondermoose, you struggle with a lot of stuff. And always reach out to make others' loads lighter still. What you see and may feel as extra weight probably doesn't make you happy and isn't great on your already-cranky joints, but you're not big, you're quite active (I know you'd like to be activer), and this may be a case of accepting and being pleased with yourself right where you're at, which looks pretty good to me.

Also, it always makes me happy to listen to the nyan cat song. I know it drives everybody else crazy but ... happy tune, flying pop-tart kitty, rainbows ...

Then again, I also love this shirt. And all things Engrish.com. Oooh wow on sale for only $10! I might have to get it!

Hmmm.  It sure seems like it should be under Hello > Settings > Training Log Settings but I don't see it there or anywhere else.

Thanks, hon.  That shirt is FAN.TAS.TIC!  A++

I'm getting excited about the weekend.  I'm working 2 local bike races as a driver (in my hometown, how much closer can ya get?!) which means 2 days of piglets in tight-fitting shorts with hawt gumdrops (calves).  Fun thing is both races are on courses I ride regularly, especially the time trial course (Sunday), which I have time trialed on myself, as in by myself (it's one of my Strava faves, trying to beat my own time and pick off a male or two along the way). 

It is a lot of fun watching the racers, the strategies and being a part of it.  The bad side is if a piglet has a crash or a mechanical and I have to have a bloody, sweaty, frustrated racer in my car.  Thankfully of the races I've done, only 1 piglet out of 3 that I had to pick up were a bit less than pleasant.

One of the days I will pick to ride and the other run, not sure which yet.  Gotta get those trail sneaks dirty!  Perhaps tonight, even.  We'll see.

Judi and Jen are both in VA, right?  I'm in PA and would be willing to travel for a hawt Aussie training sesh on how to swim better.  Virginia isn't too bad of a drive.  Jo, send over your piglet!!

Manatee Meeting in Richmond!!!

Sounds great to me!

I suppose it's greedy to keep Johnny and Brenton to myself.....and then there's Andrew for all your strength trainng needs....and riding confidence. And if none of these work the lovely Shannon turns heads.

I am lucky indeed!

Sorry about the car door incident - it knocked Terenzo out for a few weeks - he is now in France for the Long Course world champs - swim cancelled due to the cold.  I don't want him with shrinkage.

6 more sleeps until macca time.

Jogo - what an ex - best title for him is ex.

Fachmie I love you all - melons and all.  I'm losing weight - melons more like grapefruits but still a nice round fruit.
