Curvie Girlie The Diary: Mind Playin' Tricks on Me

[DCarr10760]

Yeah,

I'm lucky (or unlucky) because I can eat just about anything... It's stopping that's the hard part.

I used to take a 1/4 cup of raw almonds and puree them with a cup of water and make almond milk it was tasty. I'd bet that it would help the eggs go down.

I bought some commercial almond milk recently and wasn't impressed, homemade is better.

I bet if you add yummy stuff to it it'll be okay.

Southern Comfort...

Haha, thats too funny

Actually some of my team members up and abandoned me. I have a few spots and am accepting applications

Basiclly to do the challenge you have to do 5x30min cardio per week and 5x30min resistance training per week. How those two are defined is up to you some people do bodyweight resistance or yoga/pilates. The cardio is basiclly 30min of elevated heart rate. There's also a weightloss related bonus each week. This week it is 10min of stairs daily. Sometimes its food based, it just changes week to week.

You HAVE TO post your weekly points every weekend, sunday at the latest.

Check out the threads in the Challenge section. The Score Board thread would probably be most helpful and show you the bonus material and peoples weekly log.

Here's what I posted in Alta's diary, let us know what ya think. The dates for the vegas trip are Nov 7-9 with some people arriving the 5th or 6th.

Word. I would but I'm so busy! The hemp milk tastes pretty good though.

I think the Vegas trip sounds so fun, but I dunno if I have the feddie/scrilla/scratch/mail/paypa/cabbage/cornbread like okra to afford the trip!

I am quite proud

Yesterday I went straight from work to The Forest of Nisene Marks The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia where I prefer to do my trail running, to try and train for my half marathon. Armed with my cute little black velcro belt with the two 8 oz water bottles and pouch, 2 packets of Luna Sport Chews (cute little half moon jellies) and my watch/heart rate monitor, I decided I was going to try to run for an hour and a half straight.

I didn't really think I could do it. I figgerd I'd probably end up walking or going back early.

NOPE!

I ended up running from 5:22:02pm to 6:43:01pm, and I only stopped for about 3 and a half non-consecutive minutes: 60 seconds at the top of my usual trail (that gains about 500ft of elevation) to drink water and stretch, 70 seconds at the turn around of a different trail I never been on to drink water, stretch, and eat some Chewies, and the other seconds I spent waiting for downhill bike riders to pass.

The first 15 minutes sucked--I was tired and cranky. Running was easier after I did the big ass hill, but I didn't have an iPod (broke mine) so it was just me and my thoughts, with music playing in my head. After 45 minutes I got very bored. The forest is lovely, but my body was like, "Um, ok it's time to stop--this is when I'm used to it being over." I kept going. After an hour I could not feel my body, I pretty much just flew along and it was easier than ever. The last 20 minutes I was high as a kite and felt confident, relaxed, and like the run was effortless.

I had a few pints and Thai food (Pad Woon Sen, no eggs, bean thread noodles, with prawns and spicy) and felt absolutely high all night, no pain in my body whatsoever.

This morning I felt no pain, either, BUT it took me 15 minutes to get out of bed. I just cuddled with Oliver and kissed and hugged him until I could make it out of bed. He's the only male I like to cuddle with right now:

Hi, (Valerie is it?) I've been catching up on your diary, but it moves pretty fast. Thought I'd stop by and say hi.

You've got some crazy stuff going on, but that run sounds amazing. That's a point I'd love to be. Just running and not worrying about dying from a heart attack.

Ade sounds nice, but the hiding of his personal life makes him seem selfish emotionally. (doesn't share)

The ex is bad news, but you knew that. Chalk it up to a learning experience and cut all ties.

Can't wait to hear what's next.

My men news (as usual)

So yesterday I hung out with Chris after dinner, and there was some miscommunication about what we were doing, so as it turned out we did not work on his will. He still feels awful but he's in more clarity than normal--but more bodily pain unfortunately

I texted my L.T.F.B. (Long Term Fuck Buddy) because I haven't heard from him all week, and he did not return my texts or call the past few days. He finally replied! Saying he's been an introspective mess trying to figure out his life right now and not to worry. Word! I texted him that he was a great person and to feel better soon

While still at Chris's, the ex called. He asked me to meet him for beer in Boulder Creek (although we haven't seen each other in 2 months, we only live 9 miles away from each other in the same "town"--B.C. has only about 4000 people but is a sort of large territory). I said OK. Then I started praying for guidance on how to behave in the most appropriate manner! Wish me luck

On my way home I called my East Bay Honey, who was sort of a mess. See, he kinda has a girl in another state with whom he has an open relationship, and he decided to tell her about me today! HO! And she didn't take it too well, but she admitted she has a Beezy, too--ironically she and her F.B. started fucking with each other around the same time that he and I did. WORD! Although it's ultimately all good between them, emotions were sort of rampant. I told him not to worry, and to just think good thoughts and cheer up--life gets hectic, but he's a great person and I'm thinking fondly of him. I think it helped. He is so sweet

At 2am my phone rang and woke me up--I use the cell phone as an alarm clock as well--and I decided to answer it. It was my 22 year old in Canada! He didn't think I'd answer so he apologized for waking me up, but he told me basically that he missed me (awwwwwwwwww) and that Whistler was full of "19 year old chicks who are hella dumb" and he was "over it." My, my, my, music to my 26 year old ears, LOL! He said he's coming back in 5 days. I sleepily said kind words and then I went back to sleep thinking that I was SO GLAD to be single.

It is fucking fabulous.

HI!

You are in the Runner's Club thread, too, right? I need to post my experience there. You will get to that point--it took me, oh, let's see, about THREE YEARS to get to where I'm at with running, but mind you, I usually only run 1-3 times a week. I get BORED! I like my Kickboxing and weight training. BOO I haven't weight trained since Friday

Ade probably is selfish emotionally, but I certainly have no problem staying out of becoming emotional with cute guys I like to fuckwit--not like I will fuckwithim, but anything is possible--I AM single, hahaha!

Sigh. Cut all ties with the ex? I have never and cannot do that, we make real good friends. We were friends for 3 months before we started dating, although we were pretty much always attracted to each other magically. Tonight when I see him I'm going to make sure to be absolutely polite and speak with the Right Intention. I need to meditate and channel some higher power or something. I'm not the kind of person to turn a cold shoulder to anyone, really, although I like to think of myself as a Cutthroat Thug Bitch......

....You go on girl, enjoying ur LIFE!!!

 

[Curvie Girlie]

Thanks Alta, you ROCK

 

[Trops]

Yeah, I've been running, but the idea of just doing one thing is boring for me. I'd much rather go running one day, lifting the next, kayaking the next, mountain biking after that, whatever comes my way. Because of this I don't make significant gains in any one area. It does keep it fun, though.

 

[Curvie Girlie]

Today is my last day at my other office--tomorrow I go back to full time here at my own office!!!!

The other office is 8 miles South of here, 8 more miles away from my home--I shall be saving 16 miles worth of gas 4 days a week. This pleases me.

It also pleases me that I found out I shall NOT be moving to the main part of the building to work in the common area with the other 3 employees. While they are great women, I like the quiet of my Lion's Den.

Good news all around!

Barre left for a camping trip this morning, so I need to make sure I take care of the house right and proper. I'm excited, because I can sunbathe nude Saturday morning on the porch. I don't have to be at work until 3pm in San Jose--usually I have to work at the winery but they're sending me to a special event where I get to hang out with other winemakers. Word, I need to talk to Tony about getting a case of this Tondre's Grapefield Pinot Noir for Barre.....

I'm going to kickboxing, but feel guilty for all the cardio. Monday was running and yoga, Tuesday Kickboxing, yesterday my "long run", and I haven't done weights since Friday I WILL do weights tomorrow

Maybe I should spend Saturday morning running in Big Basin State Park instead of sunbathing? That's a good idea.

Saturday evening I will be off to San Francisco for my homegirl's birthday. Let the partying begin (then)



I'm nervous about meeting the ex tonight. It is going to suck, listening to him talk about his relationship with his girlfriend. Oh well!

I feel ya. However, weights and kickboxing actually enhance running by way of muscles and endurance! It's all good, though, you're right After the half marathon I'm going to get into rock climbing

 

[andrew505]

Good luck with your goals
I am from Toronto, but am extremely jealous. I love the Bay Area and go whenever i get the opportunity. I am also looking into grad school , so maybe a dream come true soon enough ?

 

[Trops]

I'd love to do rock climbing, but when I mentioned it to my wife (she's not too comfortable with heights or me in a perilous situation) she said, "don't you have enough hobbies?" Rock climbing will have to wait.

Hello there!

Yes! Sure! The Bay has all kinds of downsides, and I don't think most people would understand my love for it, BUT I swear, it just has this HYPHY ass energy....in the air. It's GOT SOUL, and it's superbad!!!! Off the heezy!!

LOL, it is so nice not to have a wife David calls his woman SWMBO--She Who Must Be Obeyed, Whatever, I'm 26, marriage is OUT OF THE QUESTION right now. Haha, if some of you are still on this forum in a few years and I end up getting a ball and chain and a baby, you're gonna LAUGH!!!!

And I'm gonna CRY HAHA!!

 

[Trops]

Nah, I love LOVE being married. I have the best wife in the world. I'd go on and on, but it's your diary. I'll have to compose some kind of sonnet for my diary later.
