But, I was just discussing hiring a powerlifting coach and competing with my hubby last night. And he seems to think that's a great idea. So, that might happen!
TAMI! When are you thinking of competing? It's a goal of mine for 2017, aka wana bulk and trade pointers together?!
Keep reading.
BUT TAMIIII, also this fitsquad thing is going to be the death of me. I gained 2 pounds, I'm NOT amused. HMPH lol
What is fitsquad? You guys have mentioned it a few times?
It's an 8-week team challenge on bodybuilding.com. Vix, Mart, me and a couple other people teamed up. Biggest losers, as a team, win. Our team doesn't seem very motivated as a whole. I did this last year, too. I think I posted pictures at the end.
Oh I'm sorry I missed this, team challenge just my sort of motivator1 -

Was it you that was saying about Powerlifting on FB the other day? You could definitely do that!
Hi, Lois!!! I miss you, too!!!
Yeah, hubby and I discussed me hiring a powerlifting coach. He's totally on board with it, but he got moved to night shift before I could go contact the coach. So, with son's sports, I can't make it work right now.
Awww that's a shame, I guess at least you didn't start and then have to stop? I hope this does happen though!
Me, too. I'm still doing what I can on my own at the gym, focusing on form so that if I do go to a coach he won't think I'm completely screwed up! LOL
How long do you think you will have to wait? I've 100% bailed on lifting. I wanted to get on it before Christmas, but in hindsight, I probably wont have time over Christmas soooo... New Years Resolution? I just know how much the DOMS hurt and stopping and starting is so not fun. I need to find a new gym closer to the flat.
Are you moved in now?
Yup! It was rather a dramatic exit but it happened at the beginning of October. It'll be three weeks tomorrow.

Too many applicants, something like 200,000applications for 38,000 places. Charities get guaranteed places but you have to raise a minimum of £2000 for one of those places
Oh! My cousin ran it last year and I wondered why she said she felt guilty for raising money. She wanted to run it because she loves running and wanted to say she did it once, but I didn't realise the reason why she felt guilty. She was kinda doing it for herself, but the only way she was guaranteed a space was to raise the money. It all makes sense now. Well, she still managed to raise over £2,000 for Charity (I can't remember which one) which is never a bad thing really.2 -

I had to do this the 2nd time I ran Boston and I also felt guilty as I was really just raising it for me. So I know exactly how she feels. I'll keep trying the lottery this time.0 -

Agreed with Mo. You like great!
Thanks, Patricia.
I think I must still have body image issues, though. I like the dress, but I was picking on my own hips in this photo and almost didn't post it.
There is nothing wrong with your hips! you look great.
Thanks, Wendy.

Raising funds for a worthy cause is always a net good. If you do it because you want to run 26.2 miles, I don't understand you, but I will likely donate if I can squeeze it into the budget.3 -

I guess just cuz I struggle to find time to catch up it is to me. Not like when things were first going south.0 -
A new desserts only restaurant is opening tonight downtown. My family and I are going to have pizza, then head over for dessert! I confess, I am more excited about this than I have any right to be!

The owner's wife just went around handing out goodie bags for National Chocolate Day! I got a double chocolate cookie, a piece of chocolate licorice, and 3 dark chocolate Hershey's Kisses! None of which will be logged!

NSV: I only ate half the pint, not the whole.
Note: Ben and Jerry's PB Cookie Core is NOT The Tonight Dough, and I was hugely disappointed. The store I stopped at didn't have The Tonight Dough. If it had, I would likely have eaten the whole pint.
I haven't had any of these. I don't miss ice cream at all. I stopped eating it years ago and before I went vegan when I would have it I had lost the taste for it. It made me want to brush my teeth.
These words are foreign to me
Definitely foreign to me as well.
Pof have you ever tried any of the vegan ice creams? I know there's almond milk & coconut flavored ice creams out there.
I have I have! There is an amazing Cashew Milk one here in Canada 0 -
Confession - Whenever I see a thread titled "Does anyone here ever _________?" (Insert whatever fitness/dietary thing you can think of in the blank.), I just want to go in and type NO.
NO - No one on this entire website has ever tried Stronglifts 5X5
NO - No one on this entire website weighs themselves every day
NO - No one on this entire website hates running
NO - No one on this entire website has ever tried Plexus/Beach Body/Garcinia Cambogia/Raspberry Ketones/etc ad nauseum
Just a vent I need to get out.

I've wanted to try this one for forever, but none of the stores in my surrounding area carries it.1 -
