I''m eating a huge bowl of salad, a glass of green tea, and a cup of coffee for lunch. If I need a dessert, I have a clementine and a few cocoa roasted almonds. I really want to get the the gym today, but I have a bunch of work to do with a Sunday deadline, so I''m trying to just eat really clean instead.

I wish I had this level of discipline everyday.

I guess I could work out at home at some point today. We will see. Spring makes me want to shed this ''winter'' weight.

I am also dying to do a Tri, but I need to get conditioned first... and I can''t afford those fancy bikes, lol! I told my friend I was going to do one on a Huffy from Walmart!

I don''t want to win, I just want to finish

I got a road bike on CL for $40! Check for deals, they''re out there. I''m with you on just wanting to finish. I''m a little intimidated, but it''ll be fine. When are you thinking of doing one?

My husband did his last duathlon on a really crappy old road bike. He did great, too! (He refuses to do triathlons because he''s an insecure swimmer. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor for years, and he still won''t let me train him.)

My DH makes the best egg salad.

My best friend and I ended our 15 year friendship today.

Things happen for a reason but it still hurts my heart...horribly.

HA! That''s funny!

I suck at swimming too. It would definitely be my weak spot, but I''m also terrified of spinning class. I do the exercise bikes all the time, but spinning seems so intimidating!
Princess, I''ll probably be putting it on my 2011 to-do list. This year is a bit full with wedding plans, receptions and I''m still looking for a job. I kind of want to wait until I have a more solid schedule to work with, and I''m trying to lose weight and get in shape over the coming months. But I do plan to do a Mud Run this year, or Warrior Dash. I''m hoping to do Mud Run with FI and Warrior Dash with the girls!

This looks fun! There is one by me as well, but I can''t imagine doing that at 10,000ft above sea level.

Angry guys with thick Scottish accents shouldn''t make me giggle, but they do.

Pretty sure I''m pulling the trigger and signing up for the tri after lunch.

Also, I got called ''athletic'' the other day for the first time in years. I still can''t think of myself that way, even though I can acknowledge that technically it''s probably true.

You go girl!!!

I will be right there with you, kicking my own butt on a daily basis to get ready to BRING IT!!!

That is sad. Try to focus on your other friends and realise that you aren''t alone. It does feel horrible when you lose a friendship though.

Since we won''t be having a ''real'' wedding, I really would like a total Tacori reset. I don''t know how to tell FI this. I told him last night that I want to splurge on our wedding bands but if I''m being honest, I''d really like to reset my diamond too

Why not choose a wedding set rather than just a wedding band on its own. You could say ''Oooh I love this, and its a matching set. I would love to wear something like this'' and then flutter your eyelashes at him

This morning my MIL called to insult me and yell at me and she basically told me I am a horrible person and everything that goes wrong is my fault. I spent all morning crying.

This afternoon I got accepted to the most competitive grad school program I applied to. My first choice - NYU.

It''s been a day full of so many emotions and I don''t even know how to feel right now.

Feel excited! Who cares what that old hag thinks anyways? Congratulations, Lillac!!! Absolutely fantastic news. Hope you have a great weekend celebrating with your husband!

 

[VRBeauty]

Congratulations, Lilac! That''s a great accomplishmnent -- enjoy your celebration!

As to your MIL - I''m guessing her issues have nothing to do with you. Just ignore her and focus on your wonderful news!

My right eye hemorrhaged a few days ago and the blood still hasn''t re-absorbed.

It doesn''t hurt or anything, as long as I stay away from mirrors and don''t think about what I look like!

uuugh. i hate when that happens. i had that happen from throwing-up once and wanted to wear sunglasses all the time so i didn''t have to answer to people what happened.

GRRRRRRR. . .

I brought home a new guppy today who is tiny with a HUGE pregnant tummy. It''s been a few hours since she was put in the tank and now her tummy is flat and smooth again. Sleek like an unpregnant guppy. There are no baby guppies to be found.

My son knew a pregnant guppy was in the tank and I had asked him if he looked at it and he said he did but it didn''t look pregnant. Now I know why

Huge hugs, Renee. It sucks.

I had a huge falling out with my best friend about 8 years ago, but we eventually worked through it.

I have no idea what this means! There must be subtext I'm missing .... It was constipated, not preggers? It called Jenny Craig? Your son eats baby fish?

I was reading "true women of the PS" thread yesterday, stumbled across Mariposa''s posting. How courageous and unpretentious this young woman is! And she has been on the PS since 2001!

Sorry I haven''t been on much, have been busy with my new job, I still love it

On another note, my other sister may be getting divorced. Things are rocky over there and while I haven''t really heard much about it (she has been really keeping to herself), it puts an odd feeling on dh and I. If they were to divorce, I would be the only kid in the family not to and it is an odd feeling. I guess I don''t really know how to explain it. I love dh verrrrry much, it just seems like, I dunno...
But if anyone has had any experience and knows what I''m talking about I''d appreciate any advice

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
