twilighty kind of christmas!
anyone get anything of the twilight persuasion? my husband bought me a team jacob bracelet, a breaking dawn poster featuring jacob, la push and the wolves and <drumroll, please...> a replica of bella's engagement ring! and he decorated the box himself with the cullen crest! need i say he is uber cool? hope all you vamps…
-
so what do you hate about twilight?
i know - it sounds harsh, but as much as i *love* twilight, there are a few things that drive me bonkers. it can be from the books or the movies. here's my list: the 'lion fell in love with the lamb' quote from the book. too hokey for my tastes. recasting victoria after 'new moon'. the 'new moon' scene where alice 'sees'…

fake boobs...
just saw a report saying that there was a boob implant recall in france. it's reported that 30,000 women were affected by this one supplier and need to have their implants removed so they don't get cancer from the illegal silicone the company used. but that got me thinking about numbers. 30,000 women - that's roughly 10%…

twilight titles...
'twilight' comes from edward talking about the easiest part of the day for his vampire self. 'new moon' comes from bella walking around in the forest and wondering why it is so dark. 'eclipse' comes from jacob talking to bella about how he can't complete with edward and his supernatural pull. so where is 'breaking dawn'…

progress pics - opinions please!
so, i haven't lost any weight since june. but i feel that i have been getting smaller. please take a look at these and let me know if i am actually seeing a difference or if it is just wishful thinking! may: today: may: today: i feel like i look a bit trimmer, but i don't want to delude myself. what do ya'll think? thanks…
-
anyone else not getting anywhere?
it's been since about june since the last time i lost any weight. i'm still doing my thing and trying to mix it up to get the scale moving again. i'm not really complaining - i'm still very active and i love the endurance and strength i'm gaining - i'd prefer that over weight loss if i could only choose one thing. i'm just…

so i had my first...
naughty edward dream last night. :blushing: that was a first! i hope jacob doesn't find out. oh well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. but for real. has that ever happened to ya'll or should i be concerned? or count myself lucky? :smokin:
-
what was your favorite book and why?
this changes everytime i read through them. right now my fave is breaking dawn, because i *love* jacob's section of the book. it's so nice to see a change of perception, and i love how he's so cheeky and to the point, and also how he gets so irritated with bella and her 'martyrdom'. i'm sure i'll probably change my mind…
-
when you visualize yourself...
at your goal weight, what do you see yourself being or doing? i visualize myself as a dancer good enough to perform on stage and fit enough to wear a sequined leotard. i also see myself sky diving and hang gliding. what about ya'll? (dream big) :flowerforyou:

neti pots...how weird are they?
so, i feel like i've been fighting off the same sinus beast for the last two years or so, and i am turning to desperate measures. well, thinking about it, at least. i have an aversion to sticking things up my nose, especially water, but i think i'm going to give a neti pot a go. does anyone use them? are they horrible to…

*spoiler* thread for those lucky ones that have already watc
i haven't yet, but i figure that with time changes, i don't want to come across a spoiler post until i've seen it, so for any lucky ducks that want to discuss the movie in detail, post here where people will have fair warning!

Today has been a success because...
i jogged 4 miles and shaved about 20 seconds off of my time. i smiled at strangers and they smiled back. i drank 32 ounces of water before 11:30 am. okay - your turn!
-
sticky work situation - your opinion, please...
okay. i am a certified teacher looking for a position, and i have been for over 2 years now. in the meantime, i have been nannying for a *great* family since may of 2009. i feel totally grateful and blessed to have this amazing family keep me on and make it worth my while. but, of course, i'm about to spew out a few…

working on mile 4...
today was my second time jogging four miles. i am going to try and get comfortable with it in the next couple of weeks and then increase it by another half a mile. my time was four miles in 49:21, so my average mile is about 12:15. not too shabby, but i'm hoping my speed will increase in time too! how goes it?
-
breaking dawn, anyone?
i'm going to the midnight showing and dressing up like victoria! i know edward killed her, but she's still the coolest vamp in the series. anyone else going?

that bites (game)
a little thread to cheekily say 'that bites' to anything you see that you don't like. feel free to replace what you think bites with anything else you dig. i'm sure someone else will think it bites. it can be phrases, music, pet peeves, whatever. it will be fun to see who thinks your favorite things bite! for example: that…

happy feet two...
ugh. i just saw a happy dancing penguin on my email screen and i fear it has burned into my retinas for life. gah. that is all.

welcome!
hi! my name is stacy, and i completed the c25k program last spring. i have one 5k under my belt and am looking forward to doing some more. but my big goal right now is to up my mileage from 3.4 miles to 5. it sounds so easy, but i think it's so hard! can't wait to meet you all and hear your stories!
-
8 days until breaking dawn!
i guess it's 9, technically, but i'm saying 8 since i'm going to the midnight showing. *can't* wait! i'm so glad there is going to be a part 2 to look forward to - i'll be so sad when it's over, but we've got some time yet! is anyone else going in costume? i'm going as victoria!
-
are you training for speed or endurance?
or both? i keep wanting to speed train, but anytime i think about it i automatically start pacing myself so that i'll make my distance goal. what is more important? does speed come in time, or do you have to aim and train for it? i've tried running some fartleks before with my husband, but when i did, i became so tired…

a note to a friend revealed...
that i must be in this for the long haul, and i've learned a lot. does it make you a snob if you impress yourself? :tongue: here's my note: first off - well done for exercising so much! but do be careful not to go overboard - muscle spasms are no good. if you aren't used to woking out like crazy, you need to build up to…
-
so about this thread...
do ya'll want to set up any challenge? we are just finishing up a twilight challenge on the boards and have one more week left of that. i move that we make our first challenge week the week of thanksgiving. i'm sure we could all use some portion control that week! we can have group challenges or personal challenges or…

kids and their homework...gah.
first, i am not a parent - i have been sitting for a family going on three years. today the mother calls me to let me know that max has a homework assignment due tomorrow that he failed to write down. she then tries to brainstorm with me ideas that he can write about for the little assignment. it shouldn't take that much…
