It would be very hard for me to play and not play to win. Thus, I would have a very hard time with the last choice. But, I don't know what the relationship between yourself and the C-level folks is like. Based on that, I'd decide whether or not to stay out of it entirely, or join the COO's team, cuz...well, there'd be BEER and STEAKS :P

You are awesome and I'm super glad we had a chance to chat, albeit briefly. 

 

And the answer is obvious... PLAY TO WIN.

Yeah.  I'm leaning that direction.  He wants to win. COO and my boss have a very good working relationship.  COO is technically my boss's boss....

 

and he saw me in booty shorts... *sigh*

 

and yeah... there would be beer.

 

Oh and I'm pretty sure I could get the team to do a boot camp outside work one day which would be freaking hilarious.

Love you!  Stop eating all the food!!!!  Good luck with your competition!!

 

Yeah... win win win

 

Play nice and so amazingly that either team you're on wins? Or umm... Make your own team :3

°~°

 

I don't see how my boss's team can win.  But since it's accumulated minutes versus activity, they might.  Spousal unit suggested I join the vacuuming the house team.  LOL.

 

I don't think I can make my own team.

 

But here's a twist - people were supposed to pick countries going to the olympics.... nobody picked the US yet... WHAT?  'murica? 

I AM going the distance

 

'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

I love that pic so much.

 

But... 

 

THIS makes me SO FREAKING HAPPY!

 

Yeah.  So that actually happened.  I don't hate the pic, I'm not dying that it's there and I'm not dying b/c I did it. 

 

And I kind of don't feel ashamed.  And usually I feel terribly ashamed and horrified. 

 

So yeah.  I almost feel a bit of pride.  (then again, now I'm sure the universe is waiting to smack me down in some way)

 

I did Rocky proud.

 

Oh and please note the nerd socks in the pic.

 

Spousal unit lifted in Phillies socks!  My man!

Training last night was good.  Rows, 5x2 squats at 80%, and a bunch of assistance work.  Cardio was super brisk walk home 2mi from the gym.  BRRRRRR it was so cold.  So the walk was really brisk and totally counts as cardio. 

 

Diet on track.  Still doing really well with it.  

 

elbow still improving. 

 

Guess that's about it.

And hopefully, it will be inspiration for someone.  Hope it is FUN and not too sucky.

That's a lot of win!!! It's the everyday wins that stack up for awesome results!

 

Yeah, it is.  Thanks!!!  And yeah, I'm feeling okay with stuff and wait for it....

 

LOSING WEIGHT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!   SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

 

And hopefully, it will be inspiration for someone.  Hope it is FUN and not too sucky.

 

I am actually starting to think we might make it fun.  Stopped off to chat with the organizer of my team and we are going to hold all our meetings as walking meetings, do pushups in the office, etc.  We are devising plans to intimidate the other teams - team shirts, towels around our necks b/c we are always working out, boot camp in the cafeteria.... I think we are actually going to do it.  LOL.  So could be fun.  

 

As I told spousal unit last night:

I sent this motivational vid for the team:

 

 

 

i want steak and beer.

 

I must get to NYC.  

 

Hello Mistress of Winning. I like your new title :) Hope you do too!

 

I do!!!!   OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

 

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

 

You guys are sooooo awesome.

 

Totes magotes.

 

YUS!  And I need that totes magotes tote bag (filled with raptron booze)

Yesterday's training:  BANNER day.

 

So here's the thing with PRs and why I don't PR.  You have to come back and a few days later you have a program that says pull 95% 3x1.  Now if you shoot for a big ass PR you are royally screwed.  Versus if you build up strength slow and steady and increase in small, regular intervals, you are likely to make it.

 

So.... after 10 warm up pulls, I completed another 10 pulls working up to my 95% and then BAM!!!! Pulled all three!!! SQUEEEE  which means I pulled 300# x 3 yesterday. 

 

Then I did 5x8 heavy rows.  Mmmmm... rows.

 

Then I did a brisk walk home for cardio because well.... it's rather brisk outside.  2 mi good walk.  

 

I got home and decided "I'll prepare all the food" for the next 2 days - snacks, meals, etc.  So I got out my roasting pans and put pork in and 2 trout fillets and a salmon fillet.  I made up my paleo approved chicken snausages with sugar free sauerkraut.  I packaged up my sweet potatoes for snacks and meals and put in my veg out and thought "ahhhh... all is right with the world for 2 days now".  

 

So after an hour of zoo keeping and cooking I sat down to dinner at 9p.  And then I packaged my food for two days thusly:

 

Dinner last night:  chicken snausages (measured) with sauerkraut and broccoli, sweet potatoes

Breakfast:  pork (measured) w brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes

 

And then... whilst weighing all my food I came to the realization I had

 

meal 3 for day:  trout fillets - when weighed, I needed both.  STUPID TROUT.  Sweet potatoes

Lunch:  chicken snausages, sauerkraut, broccoli, kale, sweet potatoes

meal 4 for the day:  salmon fillet that was supposed to be my dinner b/c one stinking fillet is now a damned snack.  Fish are stupid.  Sweet potatoes.

Dinner:  pork, sweet potatoes, veg.

 

So.... all that food = 24 hours of food.  Which means I have more cooking tonight.  Tilapia and shrimps thawing in the fridge.  Damn you fishes.  Why you so small? 

 

But after all the cooking, I watched Downton Abbey and all was right again in the world b/c kitteh was with me and I had a glass of wine.  Life it too freaking good.  

 

Then on the bus this a.m. I ran into an old friend and some of my neighbors and even though the bus was so late and so crowded, I was so happy.

That deadlift picture is awesome.

 

Glad to hear the diet it going well! Is it less hard now?

 

Thanks!

 

No.  Unfortunately.  It's so much damned food.  I eat all the time and am not enjoying it.  It takes forever to prepare my 10,000 meals for every day.  Weighing everything... boooo.

 

But I finish a meal and then I'm hungry in about an hour.  I mean tummy growling hungry.  That's messed up.
