    Happy Monday guys.

    Race was SLOW Laura, I barely made it over the finish line before the cut off. I really didn't try hard (not that I think I could have done much better) on the swim and bike legs as I haven't biked or swam since Wisconsin. But my stomach was a mess, I think from all the stuff I drank on the bike, and I felt so nauseous on the run that I just took my time and walked a lot and prayed I wouldn't throw up. I really enjoy this race though, the swim is nice in the inlet (very salty though) and the bike is along the water for a good chunk of it so you get some nice views (and some industrial ones getting there).

    The run is in Old San Juan so you see the old buildings and the fort, and its a major party through town. So its fun. Hot, windy and hilly, but fun.

    So, last race without training is done! Nashville I won't be properly trained but I have 5 weeks to get ready. A heck of a lot better than none... doing good on my 365 days of daily exercise challenge, I am on day 10 and I am doing something even if just a little bit every day!

    Sounds amazing, but grueling!

    Great job so far on your 365 days of exercise.

    I made myself go for a brisk hour walk last night to get something in... figured zip lining didn't count as daily exercise. :) So I seem to have mentally committed to this one (something I need to do to be successful...its that light switch mentality I have).

    How has your Lent goals been going?

    I gave up on not buying processed junk food & the 40 days of exercise, but I haven't ate ice cream since Lent started.

    Since Lent ends on Thursday according to Google I am possibly getting an Arby's Mint Chocolate Shake

    Work sucked today so I just had three servings of Brach's Spiced Jelly Beans. Confession: I pulled out all the black & white jelly beans since I don't care for them.
    I decided to give up ice cream for a while because it reminded me of my binges. I plan on going until the end of the month and hope that's more than enough time for any of my local grocery stores to start stocking some of the newer Talenti or Haagen Dazs flavors.

    @Oberon21 love the pics! Looks like a great vacation! :)

    Ditto to this!

    When did you go skydiving @Oberon21

    I went twice, once in Long Island and once in NJ. Tandem. So amazing. I would love to learn to do it solo.

    Couple weeks ago I ate a whole dozen donuts from Dunkin and I thought I was going to die. I fasted the next day(for 24 hours) and felt much better.

    Sometimes I can't control myself!!!

    I love donuts, but I could never eat a dozen. Well, maybe I could if that's all I ate that day.

    Now I want a donut. @jthurman3, bring me a donut! STAT!

    Have to say that is impressive.

    @mohousdon you need to try the Crunchkins candy.

    I curse at/talk to inanimate objects more often than I should. But you're sane as long as they don't talk back, right? :P

    I admit I glare at items after I run into the item.

    Swear to god if my sister says "I've already eaten" when she hasn't, tries to force me to eat something when I don't want it, or eats "dinner" of raw lettuce and cucumber, I will *kitten* punch myself in the face.

    It's time for a stress walk and time to set boundaries with your sister. She is all up in your head and that's not a good way to live.

    Someone asked about Lent goals and I forgot to reply. It's Spy Wednesday. I have four days left to fast from my item. I really thought I would crack twice this week.

    There was a huge Spring Celebration in my department this morning in which my only participation was to guess how many pieces of chocolate were in a vase my supervisor was giving away because she directly asked me to and to find an egg with chocolate candy (that I haven't eaten) that my supervisor hid in my cubby. Note this was deliberately not called an Easter egg and the Holy Day was never mentioned. I am irrationally annoyed by that. And also by the email from our department manager to "wait and see what we've got cooked up foe next month."

    I never got a chance to answer this one. My lent challenge is good. Since I started the daily exercise vow I have been fulfilling that one and except for inadvertent dairy in stuff I have eaten accidentally I am sticking to vegan. So even after lent ends it will all continue on...

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

    10 days until Easter. I am so ready to break my Lenten fast. I almost caved yesterday and again this morning. I must pray my way through it. It's only 10 more days.

    I keep reminding myself of that too!

    Not sure if I want to eat Easter candy that day or ice cream? Probably ice cream.

    I tried the Edy's Vermont Maple. It was ok but not enough toffee pieces. It was mostly just syrup-favored ice cream.

    Ugh! I might have to skip that one.

    I haven't found any of the new Edy's flavors. Wal-Mart the past two weeks hasn't had much of a selection of Edy's (not sure if they're selling out, changing the mod/feature, or getting the new ones in stock).

    This is one of the new flavors of Yuengling's I want to try (I think Weis might get this March 28th?)!

    cinc.png?itok=09kSKDWt&c=e0cb95b55c9891468bd894119c702748

    This flavor is pretty interesting

    Isn't this brand a beer? Do they make ice cream too? That would be an odd combo.

    Yeah it's the same company, but I am not sure if they make any alcoholic ice creams.

    If it's not already created I feel like that needs to be a thing

    Alcoholic milkshakes in Nashville!

    My reward for Nashville will be the same as my friend Kara had for the Music City Ultra on Saturday. Burger Republic. Yum!

    I am SO excited to have my Lent sacrifice on Sunday! I am excited for Easter! My favorite holiday is finally in sight!

    I have to work Good Friday afternoon/evening, for the first time ever in my entire life. I am a bit concerned about fasting until sundown when I start work at 4pm. I am also a little worried about getting all my prayers in and such before work, but I will do it. I will also make sure I never make this mistake again, and book it off early.

    Confession: binged yesterday and then felt so disgusting that it was hard to sleep. Bleh.
    I really don't like living with my sister, which makes me feel like a terrible person. :X

    Living with my sibs would have been the end of me. (((Hugs)))

    Oberon 21,
    I love your pictures of your trip, all of them except the one of your leg. It looks sore, I hate it when that happens.
    I've never been zip lining but have often wished that there was a zip line at the tops of the mountains that I have climbed. It looks fun.
    I imagine that it will be hard for you to come home after being in paradise. safe travels

    I've never eaten a dozen donuts before. I'd imagine I'd feel the need to eat a lot of green veggies after that to clean me out. I'm glad you are feeling better.

    My sister is wearing my favorite jeans (which she took when she got anorexic and lost weight and I got fat.) and it's making me feel terrible for being jealous. :x

    You are beating your self up a lot these days. Stop that. It is ok to wish that you can be back in those jeans instead of your sister. By the way you can be! Correction you will be. Being in school can be fatting. It dies not have to be.
    You got this.
