Emerald_Dragonfly Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 No theme, just gifs. I'm not going no words (although that one was fun)...just whatever gifs I feel like including. I do not promise that they will all make sense. Goals: 1. Lift 3x per week (still at rehab weights - allllllllllmost healed, though) 2. Zombies Run! 2x or more per week (walk/jog/run quick, there are ZOMBIES!) 3. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. 1780 calories or below. 4. Sneak in some yoga. Unrelated to my goals, but I want to brag: MY HUSBAND RAN THE BOSTON MARATHON THIS PAST MONDAY!!!!!!!! (This is a HYUGE accomplishment, complete with qualifying requirements and a sweet swagalicious jacket). As a non-runner, I didn't realize what a freaking big deal the Boston Marathon actually is until he started training to qualify. I'm so proud of him! 8 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment

Scaly Freak Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I saw this thread title and thought "A gif? That can't be right!" I'm glad to see I was right. 5 Quote The Great Reading Thread of 2023 “I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.
