Costacat TF07 = 1870 minutes GTTD = 115,950 minutes Me - hill, walk, run, stretch - 100 minutes TF07 = 4,535 minutes GTTD = 116,050 minutes God, I'm wiped. I didn't mean to work out this hard, but my walk with Holly turned into more of a run, and that was after the hill workout on the treadmill set to a higher interval than usual!

5/29 -- 70 minutes Spinning TF07 -- 3,790 minutes (63 hours, 10 minutes) GTTD -- 116,120 minutes I just posted this in "Fact or Two..." but since it's sorta gym-related, thought I'd post here: I had a very bizarre walk to the gym today. Firstly, there is a woman who lives on the streets who, for a reason I do not know, does not like me. She often yells and curses at me when she sees me (and I've seen her be nice to other people). Anyways, such is life. Today, we were walking towards each other on the block and she didn't say or yell anything at me, and I thought to myself just as we were to pass each other, "Whew! It's a good day!" and at that very moment, she reached out and PUNCHED ME IN THE SHOULDER while continuing to walk. I turned around and watched her walk away and decided it was surprising, but that she has some mental issues and it wasn't worth saying/doing anything. So I turn around and continue walking down the block when, not 20 seconds later, a CROW DIVEBOMBED MY HEAD. I'm not kidding. Anyways, it was a strange walk to the gym.

Very strange, Yankee! Holding a broom or rake over your head helps with crows.. dunno about your nemesis.. 05/29: Walking = 95 minutes (I took my car in and left it overnight for work (way more than I'd hoped) then I walked home, went a longer way and went thru a new store, but luckily didn't go elsewhere because just at my front door I discovered I'd left the house key with them. It was exactly closing time, so thankfully I whipped out my cell, got it going and was able to reach them. I returned, walking really really fast, in 12 minutes, then had to walk home again.) TF07 = 1,745 minutes TTD = 32,971 minutes GTTD = 116,215 minutes

Right now, haha Seamonkey -- I can just see myself walking the mile and a half through the city streets to the gym with a broom or rake over my head. HAHAHA Re: the lady, I feel sorry for her. She is a teeny little thing and has lived on the streets for years and years and seems to have either a drug or mental problem (or both). I have never done anything to her, so not sure why she dislikes me so much but it's been pretty consistent. I will just make sure to try to cross the street next time. Don't like getting sucker-punched. LOL

LOL, Yankee! I'll admit that we did use that technique but it was in a rural canyon. When the Calif Scrub Jays had a nest they'd dive bomb us and the labradors and hit hard with their beaks, so the broom or rake held straight up with the brushy part above the head.. helped to fend them off. The labs got to do their thing in the back for a few days. Maybe you remind her of someone? Time to pick up my very expensively repaired car.. it had better drive and brake REALLY REALlY well.

Seamonkey, hope your car is okay. Mine is currently in the shop for a new clutch. They have had it since last Tuesday and I'm getting a little p.o.ed! I'm currently driving around town in a beige Camry. So not me!

LOL Hermie.. at least my Camry isn't beige (THAT would be so not me) but white Actually I love how people can have cars that are "them" and that they can be so different. Mine is back with all sorts of crap done to it and me $2500 poorer. However, interestingly, my sunroof is working now and I really thought it was terminally dead and might cost me a bundle. Hope you get yours back soon. 05/30: Walking = 70 minutes TF07 = 1,815 minutes TTD = 33,041 minutes GTTD = 116,470 minutes

I have a problem. Every time we go out with a group of friends, I end up feeling really badly about my weight, because all of our women friends are very thin and fit. I'm just home from a dinner, and while I had good conversation, I just feel awful. This happens a lot.

Yankee, stop that!!!! Most women are not thin and fit. Every woman is different! Love your body type! It's unique to you! And you ARE exercising, so... dammit keep up the good work! I have a girl friend who constantly compares herself to me. I'm tall and I have small bones and I look sorta average/slender. She's shorter, shorter legs, and is more pear shaped. There is NOTHING she can do that will make her look like me. Nothing. When she finally accepted that, she became happier, worked on making her own clothes look good, and then promptly got married! LOL.

Yankee, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so down. I empathize greatly because I do the same thing. I am always comparing myself and coming up with the short end of the stick. I can lose some weight, but I will never be tiny. I will always be curvaceous, even if I get back down to my high school weight. I wish I could accept myself the way Costa does and her friend learned to, but this is something I still struggle with. I constantly compare myself to women who are supposed to be ideal and I am so far off the mark that it makes me want to hide sometimes! You must be tremendously fit and healthy to work out the way you do. Remember that! Maybe we can work on positive self image together! Maybe Costa can drill it into us!

Thanks Costa and Hermione. Interestingly, I'm now getting ready to leave in 5 minutes to go out with two of my friends -- and both weigh no more than 110. I'm not kidding. Oh, well. Hopefully I'll keep my head from wandering to the "bad places" tonight. Oh and P.S. -- I wasn't really being flip or whiny or just wanting attention when I posted that last night, though it likely sounded that way. I really do think I have 'a problem' with this because sometimes it makes me actually cancel social engagements.

You didn't come across as flip or whiny at all. I hope you have fun tonight and are able to not "go there." I'd love to talk to you about this more, so I will email you tomorrow.

{{Yankee}} I don't see you as being whiny either. I think we've all been at a place in our lives where we've felt rather ashamed of not looking like someone else. I also hope that you have a lot of fun tonight and enjoy your friends.
