Oregon coast sounds nice! I have Nashville at the end of April, then England in July...! I can't wait for either either (I know that is probably not grammatically correct).
But I would like to go back to PR NOW!
Nashville in April!
I'm going to Cali in May, Chicago in July and maybe again in October if we get in the marathon, and Tucson in December! (mostly race related)
I assume you are going to meet our very own Laura?0 -
I had a miserable day yesterday. Tons of stress, no exercise, everything fell by the wayside. So I restarted daily exercise today, signed up for my 34 mile prep race in June for the 50 mile in Nov, got an appt for my cat for a check up and am seeking a groomer for her coat (has mats and will only let me partly brush her out).
I now know where my exhaustion I have been feeling for months is coming from. I was fine in PR with same amount of sleep, I come back to NJ and work and am exhausted. I think its stress... so I need to just fight through it and find some good outlets.
Happy Good Friday for those of you who practice.

Happy Good Friday. I hope you have a restful, recharging weekend! Hugs!0 -
Since Creme eggs landed in the supermarkets just after New Years, I have been going through at least two eggs a day (or three...or four). They don't even taste the same as when I was a kid! I have no idea why I am so obsessed with them and I'm secretly glad that theyll be gone now and I can get a handle on this "mysterious" 4kg weight gain. Thank goodness ANZAC day is next and I don't like ANZAC biscuits!0

Sorry to hear about the rough day but it sounds like you rebounded really well today. It's amazing what stress can do to us. A stress outlet I love is adult coloring books. I put on a dorky TV show and zone out while I color. Makes me smile every time.0 -

Jekyl Brain: I'm not hungry, and that would be a binge which would make me feel awful and regret it.
Hyde Brain: It's just one day, you won't fall back into your old binging patterns. It's just to get it out of your system
Jekyl Brain: BS I know better than that!
And so on and so forth. Seriously, after these treats are gone I'm making sure there's no more than 1 or 2 types of sweet items in the house at one time. Otherwise I want the ice cream, Easter candy, and girl scout cookies all at once!
Jekyl and Hyde weren't very good to you today. I hope Jekyll won the battle, I liked her reasoning.
Thankfully Jekyl did win, mostly because I had to go to my boxing class that ended up lasting 3 hours so I was away from the cabinets until bedtime! Distraction at it's best0 -

On top of my normal daily meals. I feel a little dirty. And very very full.
I have grown to hate that over full feeling. log it and start a new day with endless possibilities for you.0 -

@Oberon21 , now that you have identified the problem, I know you will find a workable solution. Just like I am about to have an argument with my husband over replacing my stolen Jeep. The insurance has given us a number that I am sure won't change. That will result in us need to add a bit to the total for me to replace it with something comprable. He hates to spend money. (Not that I really like doing that much either). I will have to find a way to use the insurance money and save some up and buy it myself. He is making me nuts over this.0

That is ridiculous. Your jeep was stolen. You have insurance money. He should help you get a new jeep. A car is like part of your personality. You need one that makes you feel who you are. Otherwise you will always be unhappy with what you get. Don't back off on this one!0 -

How about preventative measures? I am all for a women's option to choose. I would choose to do my best not to get pregnant (where possible...not every situation is possible or 100% perfect for every preventative measure). Sounds like these students have lots of options near campus, I agree not sure why they need their own special clinic.0 -

Yes, this. I used to drive a Ford Conversion van - the kind you can take 6 people on vacation in and no one can reach each other. I complained that it was too much of a gas hog to drive everywhere and that the kids weren't comfortable one night and crashed it the next day. I hydroplaned into a telephone pole and totalled it.
It was replaced with a Mercury Mountaineer that I enjoy driving and my kids can drive, but I have been driving our F250 ever since. I miss my van more often than I ever thought I would. I am searching for another good used one.

I'm not sure they have the facilities or stuff for that sort of thing. Just how many abortions are they talking about?
Will staff be properly trained. Why not work on proper birth control instead.0 -

I agree 100% with the Easter candy. What's an ANZAC day/biscuit?
ANZAC day is the day we landed on Gallipoli in WWI and effectively became our own nation(s), separate from Great Britain (although just for fun, still part of the Commonwealth) and forged our own identities. i think it's the equivalent of your Memorial Day ? There is a solemn dawn service here, and in Turkey, France etc, and people eat these foodinaminute.co.nz/Recipes/Anzac-Biscuits . Blergh.
I fell over in the car park today, and was secretly pleased I ripped a little hole in the knee of my pants because now I have good excuse to partake in the Easter sale and buy more gym clothes. I swear I didn't do it on purpose!
That's awesome!quiksylver296 wrote: »I did real pull-ups!!! TEN of them (but not in a row. )

This is basically me
Maybe not a whole pie, but I could eat a whole pint of ice cream.0 -
I ate an entire 100g chocolate bar for breakfast, using the excuse that I can make it fit my calories. This is terrible news for the rest of my day because my TOM cravings aren't a problem until the afternoon and I totally just set myself up for a blood sugar crash.0

It wouldn't really be free. They will just raise tuition to pay for it.

Ran my Insane Inflatable 5k this morning and had a blast. It was fun! We did see a few injuries along the way, but I came out unscathed. I will definitely sign up for another one.0
