Cresca Muccapello Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just came back from the mechanic with my car...Waited for 4 hours (only three hours longer than they told me!) until they were finished and now I have the "pleasure" of cramming a months wage down their throat.I hope they choke on it.

Philociraptor Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 According to my scale and tape measure, my weight loss for the month of April totaled an abysmal 2 lbs of, guess what, all muscle. Quote Link to comment
wildross Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Why, when you go into <fast food restaurant> and order food + 2 drinks, do you have to ask for a drink carrier? How many hands do I appear to have? And yes, I can carry the bag and 2 cups (actually 3), but that is beside the point... Course, if I hit my goal of not eating fast food, this will be less of an issue. Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

The Tin Man Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I had to stop during my run yesterday. I was shooting for the longest I've ever run - 8.9 miles. I got 8.15 and my knee started hurting enough to alter my stride. I spent the next 0.75 miles walking and alternating between ARGH and woot from the disappointment of having to stop (I've barely ever stopped while running in my life) and the happiness that I was smart enough to have stopped.Woot-side: my knee doesn't bother me at all today, so I made the right call. Argh. Quote The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment

Warrior Princess Lisa Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I work in a relatively conservative office, sometimes I listen to music (with headphones) when I'm feeling a little blah, or can overhear too many phone conversation. It usually helps me get more productive, but today it's making me want to get up & dance!!!! But I can't, I don't think it would go over too well.....

ZenGwen Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Pretty sure I have cancer of the butt.Well, okay, no. I suddenly have this weird lump thing right under the skin, though. I used to have what I thought was a tiny cyst there, totally not going to get noticed by anyone but me, but suddenly it's visibly larger and a bit painful. Gah. Better get it checked out by my doc. Hopefully before anyone with access to a view of my butt notices it and goes "Ewwww Gwen I am pretty sure you have cancer of the butt."Really don't have the time or inclination to have my bitter old lady doc looking at my butt. Sigh. Better do it anyway.Watch me have to get this thing taken out surgically, I'll be done with squats for ages. Quote Pain is the feeling of weakness leaving the body.

So Late So Soon Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Is she actually a trainer there with regular clients? The first gym I was in, the trainers were brilliant and knew what they were talking about - I still keep in contact with a couple on Facebook even though the gym is closed. But for my induction, they gave me this skinny kid who knew nothing about weights AT ALL and told me as much during the tour. Showed me how to do the cardio machines, recommended the weights machines... end.Maybe she's just showing people around? Hopefully?the gym is pretty small and only has two trainers that are allowed to train people at it. She is one of those two trainers and does the exact same thing with every person, every time. And they come back and see her again sometimes just to have her write down their weight info and say "nice work"...

Typically they just get drained if they're on the surface though. My sister had one under her shoulder blade that got huge. Had minor surgery and was working out 4 days later. Hope its nothing major!

Good to see there are others out there. I agree with the cyst theory. My mom had one right between her shoulder blades that had to be surgically removed. She was back to normal in a few days, RoM-wise. Quote The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde Link to comment

I'm sure it's nothing, but....*hugs* I'm sure it's nothing! Forgive me if it's TMI, but does it move around when you feel it, or does it seem "rooted"? Is it tender?

TeaKwonDo Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Paleo in France is not easy, hoboy. Last night a friend asked what I wanted to eat for her party tonight. I said I'll eat anything but bread or sugar, though alcohol is ok cause it's the weekend. (I treat myself every couple Saturdays or so.) I also offered to bring a meat dish. So she goes, "Ok, we'll do pizza and chips. Don't worry about food." I thought she was kidding, because she knows I like to eat healthy. Then I asked today and she was serious. "I didn't get the link between pizza and bread." HEADDESK. I feel like a dick for being difficult, but last night she insisted on making sure that I'd have stuff to enjoy. So idk.

ZenGwen Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Walked past this ad on the way to work today:[ATTACH=CONFIG]3146[/ATTACH]Argh. I know it's silly for it to bug me, but... corn is not a veg, it's a grain. Can we please not encourage people in already-unhealthy Scotland to think just corn covered in refined vegetable oil products is an acceptable, even "powerhouse" vegetable choice?However, this was also on my walk to work today, so I'm not complaining too much.
