Life nailed me but I didn't screw myself.

Your first mistake was allowing yourself to celebrate Tim Lincecum doing anything ;-) Sorry, that's the Braves fan in me coming out
In all seriousness, amazing job and persistence! I've done the pre-logging of exercise before, and the temptation to do anything BUT that exercise is so strong it's ridiculous. I'm so glad you didn't let a screw get you down! Now go get a tetanus shot! :-)0 -
So how do I get one of those free pizzas? :huh:
jk
Seriously, well-written and inspiring post. We've all been there, we've all been weak, we've all felt bad...but not everyone is strong enough to do something about it. Pretty cool, man.
This showcases one of the big strengths of MFP, that being ACCOUNTABILTY. It's sometimes easier to lie to yourself, than it is to others.
It's hot and humid and sticky as heck in Canada, too.
And I appreciate the double-entendre in the topic title. Almost missed it at first.0 -

whether at the pool or after a sweaty workout. why do people run from the rain? specially from the pool.
that really bugs the **** out of me0 -
I LOVE this post. Thank you for sharing and I'm happy that you were able to push through.0

Great job! I only wish I had this motivation... except for the fact that I have a sprained ankle and know when I need to stop. But when it heals, this will be a great inspiration to me.
Edited to say:
I only wish today the heat wave here hadn't stopped me from riding my bike (pretty much the only exercise I can do).0 -
Free food is hard to pass up! It is one of my biggest weaknesses too. I love how you write. Wonderful job, walking so far, so fast. Sorry about the screw. Life can do that to you once in awhile. Lol.0

After devouring that pizza you made sure that you earned it.
While you were about to just say F**k it and let that be the day. You stuck it out and kept your word to not only your MFP friends, but you kept your word to yourself and got the workout done.
Even when you got screwed, you kept on plugging away. Good For You. I admire your determination!0 -
