Hey Curves!! Good luck learning to drive stick. My first automobile was a Ford truck and it was a stick. My dad and I had sooo much fun driving the back roads while learning to drive it. One of the best memories I have with my dad, he's awesome. It's all about timing with the clutch and shifting gears. After you are comfortable with it, you HAVE to get behind the wheel of a super fast sports car and drive the fuck out of it. I almost killed myself in an '82 Trans Am a few years ago. Completely worth it though!!
 
Hey VBF!!! Your going to have fun and get frustrated at the same time when your learning to drive stick. I was lucky, my high school sweetheart who happen to be 3 yrs older than myself, had one of those little mini pickups, you know I think they called them "SLAMMED" they lowered them and fixed em up, it was cute! Well, it was a stick and he taught me on that, or I would have never known how to drive one, after that when I got my first car it was a Nissan Sentra "standard" I loved driving it, but once the boys came, it was time to go back to automatic, needed available hands at all times. LOL LOL

I was just thinking about trading in my current car for a more sporty car, I like those Nissan Z, since the boys are older it's usually just me anyways, plus the gas would be better, and I can go back to a stick again. Hmmm will have to see, I'm seriously considering. HAVE FUN playing!!!

:hurray::waving:
HUGS!

Jeez Louise I thought I was banned there for a second!

The server wouldn't let me even LOOK at ANY threads! :nopity:

Anyway, thank you for all the well wishing for my attempt to learn stick this afternoon!!! :driving:

Hee hee! I thought I'd never need to use that smiley :D

Anyway, yesterday was a good day. I did Kickboe and then went to Karen's house afterward. Her hubby is a big guy, real nice, slim but muscled and about 6'4"--and a GREAT daddy :) He was exhausted from moving 150 lb sheets of sheet rock at work all day. Karen was tired from exercise and from taking care of their 1 year old son, Miles. So I jumped up and started cooking them dinner. Karen protested but Miles Sr. said, "No Karen, God brings people to help others and she wants to, so let her." LOL!!

I grilled talapia and stirred it into a pre-made frozen veggies stir fry, then toasted whole grain bread and sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top. The had a bottle of Shiraz to share, as well. I watched my portions and cleaned up for them. Then I played with baby Miles. He likes to be thrown in the air and he likes airplane, so I tossed him in the air, dangled him upside-down, and carried him around like he was flying while he screamed with laughter :D He actually hugged my leg after that and Karen was shocked because he's rather shy and "doesn't do that to anyone." I guess I won him over :)

This morning I had cereal and went for a 42 minute run in the woods, burning roughly 500 calories. I then had an Acai juice and (UGH!) a serving of pretzels, and a bit of a cookie :( But I made a tofu sandwich for lunch, which was VERY high cal! WOW! 620 calories! (Bread = 180, vegan mayo = 90, tofu = 150, mustard = 60, avo = 140...) But it was good and good for me. I just snacked on a few of those peanut sandwich pretzels but that's it. So far I'm up to 1200-ish calories and I feel good about that. I've been drinking a LOT of water, my skin was dehydrated last week.

The scale said 148 lbs. I was happy, BUT I'm on Day 22, and that's the luteal phase, and I usually weigh less, then start my period, and bloat up. I'm gonna wait to change my signature. But I'm on the right track!
 
Heck yeah you are on the right track. GREAT RUN TODAY, but you know I worry about you in the woods, BE CAREFUL!! Take Mase with you or something, GEEZ I know why that kiddo latched onto you, your a total sweetheart and he sensed that right away. YOUR SWEET making dinner for them, I'm sure they appreciated the break. Love ya sweets, have a good night! I'm going to the gym, CHOW!

Have fun at the gym! :waving:

I posted this this morning: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-diary/16759-true-i-cant-eat-what-i-want-if-i-run-everyday.html#post350369

I'm cutting right now. I was bigger and muscley, and my heavy lifting was making me eat a lot, creating fat over the muscle and making me bigger. AIL pointed it out and that pissed me off, but I noticed it myself and I want to be smaller now. So I ran Monday and today, and did Kickboe yesterday. I'll most likely do Kickboe tomorrow and FINALLY do some resistance training Friday. I'll take Sat off and run Sunday. Already I feel slightly smaller. Yes, I'll lose muscle :eek: But I miss being in the 130s really bad now!
 
Howdy there speed demon!:auto::svengo: and to all those tickets lol!
TY for checking on me I have been down sick and depressed grrrr.Congrats
on your kickboe and eating right,130's will be here soon for ya(a dream 4 me lol).Have a gr8 day Tammy:seeya:

Also, the myth that runners can or need simple carbs is bullshit. My runners book advocates a whole-grain, whole food diet, although be warned: don't over consume fibrous foods before a long run in the wilderness or you might find yourself behind a tree with a couple of fern leaves!!!

Val Bunny... now it's a known fact that you are one with mother nature. Fern leaves! HA!!! Hope you have a wonderful day, sweetheart.

Stick Shift

Oh you people crack me up! What a wonderful site :beating:

SO AIL's 1990 red Celica convertible has overheating problems and he's giving it to charity, he already has a Honda Civic he drives and the Celica is parked on a random San Jose st. Yesterday I got off work at 4 and drove to San Jo and met him. The moment he saw me he smiled, got down and apologized with welling tears in his eyes (not quite) but I quickly changed the subject and asked if that dent had always been in his car. Whish! Tears gone, "No I kicked it in the last time I abandoned it." :rolleyes: The reason why he offered to let me drive it was because he didn't care about me grinding gears or being rough with the clutch or anything.

I dove. Yeah, I stalled out. Yeah, I ground some gears. Yeah, I went into 1st gear on accident a few times, looking for 3rd. But it was fun and I was driving a stick shift vehicle. :driving: :coolgleamA: :auto: <--hey there's me! :D

Then we hung out with his Russian friends. AIL was sweet to me but I was kind of a cunt to him. I was jovial and everything, but you know when you are in the quick-witted, clever mode and if used for good, you can charm and delight and entertain those around you? Well, I was in that mood but I was using it for evil :reddevil: I'm not proud of my behavior. The AIL was, "I know I'm in the doghouse but....." Ah, whatever, at least I didn't make him cry.

I went to his house that night to sleep over, after we discussed if that was a good idea or not (seeming that he was worried I'd be mean to him), and I didn't expect any action that night but man! He busted out with the kinkiness and domination for which I was unprepared for. He asked my consent not once, but twice, to make sure. In the midst of it I was thinking about an IM conversation with Randy; he said we have a "power struggle" or something like that. Also, once Bethann PMed me to watch out for controlling guys. It was a head trip for me, but I know him: he's totally unaware of his own motives and doesn't really investigate his own behavior. Controlling? Nah! He's just keeping things fresh in the bedroom, right? Eh, I'm cool with it. My attitude has changed since he was a cold hearted prick to me Sunday. I'm putting up some walls and keeping some distance. Too bad when I hug him, it feels better than anything in the world :banghead:


Food: I was running on 1200 calories all yesterday until we went to his Belarusian friend's 33rd birthday at their favorite bar; we split a fish and chips and I had some beer and calamari. I have no idea what the calories are, and I didn't sleep long enough last night (him waking up for work woke me up) so I'm pretty fatigued. I'll estimate later. Also, bad news: I'm limping. My left outside knee is pained. No exercise for me for a while :p Grrrrrrrrrr.

Oh I know my insurance is through the roof! :(

Sick and depressed? Awww Tammy! I'll need to spread some cheer in your diary later. And thank you, you shall get there too at the rate you're going!!

Tyly: Hmmm, well, cutting is the opposite of bulking. When ya bulk, ya weight train heavily and eat a lot to support the muscle gain; fat accumulation is imminent. When ya cut, you're having caloric deficits and losing some of that fat whilst trying to maintain most of that muscle.

Randy: Hi Sweet Thang!

Girlfriend, Be honest with me, I mean it!! If you met another guy one night and he asked you out, and you said yes and he was really attractive( to you), and then you slept together, and it ROCKED your world, do you think what you feel for the BF would be slightly different? It just seems whenever you so to speak "give in" to the BF it always accompanies great sex. Maybe the relationship is more of a emotional attraction then anything else, do you think?
I have this feeling, that some day soon, you are going to run into another stud Mcmuffin who is finally going to rock your world in the bedroom and your going to see relationships in a whole new light. Hmmmmm, you need to get out and mingle more often, like you were doing before, so some hot guy can pounce on you and guide your heart to another location. The current situation with the BF just seems like it's missing a middle part, it has a beginning, and I always hear a good ending like the great sex, but there is no middle part, nothing is there. Does that make sense at all????? I know here I go again, :beatdeadhorse5: LOL LOL
I Love ya, and I just wish a fantastic guy would come swoop you up and treat you like the princess you are!! that's all.
 
:drool5: wow fish and chops and BEER :drool5: I hope you get some
rest and the fatigue passe4s soon and doesn't turn into the monster BUG!
Have agr8 thursday Tammy
 
Kim, yer so right though... :)

Our Val/Sexy Buns needs the best, bc she's the best! ;)

I hope yer havin' a great day sweetie and doin' some goal reachin'. ;)

We-ell....attraction and sex aren't so much the issue. When I kiss and hug AIL its better than any kisses or hugs I've ever had, and our banter and the things I learn from him are pretty amazing, and we DO get along more than I mention (of course :smilielol5:). I haven't found that with any other guys, and I won't mention all my activities here, that's for sure!

Yeah, probably! I told you I wish I could go cold and heartless, at least for a little while.

So sorry! Maybe I should stop mentioning him, soas not to piss everyone off! And THANK YOU, I appreciate your loving concern :beating: I'm NOT trying to get sympathy here, I just feel better venting SOMEWHERE, my friends have already heard this shit the last time we almost broke up and I'd rather talk about THEM than me. But hey, this here is my diary, so I'm gonna vent :cuss:
 
Jeez my rep was out of control! I tried to rep everyone here and I repped out for the next 24 hours :p Sheryl has the title now! :D

I made a mental parallel with rep on this forum and distribution of wealth with the ancient Pacific Northwest Native Americans. I should write a post about that, I'm out of practice in anthropological perspective writing.
 
My girl friend just emailed me something that made me laugh!


Thanks a lot for showing me that porn site, great I had errands to do today and I've gotten all caught up in this porn site. I have to say the gay guys are way hotter to watch. I think its also because they have better bodies and nice faces, the straight guys are ugly and fatties. Anyway thanks a lot again for showing me such a jem of a site. hahahahaha talk to you later
