Nope! Like I say, you just did the most important workout...the one you dont feel like doing! Great job!

Been there (literally). Not fun, as BB1 said. Glad you made it through!

::hands Matt a glass of orange juice and a cookie::

I need my vitamin C, for sure, but get that cookie outta here! I appreciate the thought though We have many boxes of girl scout cookies taunting me, but I've successfully fought them off so far!

Woke up at 2 with a sore throat, slammed 3,000mg of C with an OJ chaser before passing back out on the couch.

I'm glad the Girl Scouts are doing well (despite the legislator that thinks they are a lesbian recruiting org.....idiot).
But I wish they would sell oranges or apples or something! Those darned cookies are everywhere!

Their cookies promote killing the rain forest, I saw a petition on it! Little jerk girl scouts and their use of whatever oil they use that comes from trees (palm probably). I don't have the energy to look it up.

The only thing I know for sure they would kill is my waistline! Thats enough for me! LOL

one Thin Mint cookie = 40 calories

That means for every mile I run I can eat 2.4 thin mint cookies.

Dont be silly!
They will melt while you run!
Silly girl.....

It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one that considers how many miles I have to run to burn off something I eat.

Are you kidding? Everytime I open my mouth I consider what it will take to remove it!
I cooked up the most wonderful steaks last weekend (2in ribeyes). Spent all week eating chicken, rice and protein shakes so I wouldn't have to run 26.2 miles to work it off!

Yep, I do the same! Sometimes it's helpful, other times it's just depressing.

Also B^3, I had a heated conversation with my dad over lunch (insert joke about you being old) after he told me my mom is doing that #@$%ing HCG diet. Well, she's already lost 14 pounds in two weeks so obviously it's a wonder drug...sigh. She's a nurse, she should know better, especially that a 500 cal/day diet is absolutely unhealthy.

Oh Matt....sorry for that and you are right. The argument is likely heated because they know you are right.

People in Bosnia and Uganda have been on this diet for sometime now. Its called starvation.
Since you cant stop her, maybe you can encourage some healthy eating and exercise to "Help with the success"?

She's been doing that, she's been walking 3-5 miles pretty much daily for the last year or so after making the decision to get healthy, and both of my parents have been eating much better since then.

She's seen results, but of course, not enough and not quickly enough. How she found this idea, I do not know, and it has her drinking coffee for the first time in her life since she can't have pop or wine (the biggest issue for her!), so that's somewhat amusing, but overall still not cool.

He did say she's been a bump on a log most of those two weeks and not very energetic...um, I wonder why!

LOL....he said "pop".

yeah, in oklahoma its "coke".
Even if its Pepsi or Dr Pepper...its still "coke".

You know it's the right thing to call it! You shut your face.

You're probably in the part of the country that calls all carbonated beverages "Coke".

Edit: Too slow in responding, but I was right! Goofy people you've got down there.

I call it "pop" whenever I know that there is someone around that will understand it. It's either "coke" or "soda" here and more people drink Dr. Pepper than I care to admit.

:takes a sip of Cherry Dr. Pepper:

That's why I laughed.

:tussles Matty's hair:

Since this IS the pushup thread, somebody should post their successes:

Sets of 15, 24, 24, 20 this morning. 83 for a total gives me totals in the 80s on back-to-back days.

I may shorten it up tomorrow again so that I can give the old shoulder a rest (feels good, though....don't worry Kit). Then I have my sights set on a 100 pushup day.

The YMCA is just a few blocks from my office, so I'm thinking about joining just to go there at lunchtime to do pushups as I start running out of time in the morning to do what I need to.

Me too, but I look at it in glasses of wine!

I saw a t-shirt that I wanted:

1 bottle of wine = 537 calories
1 bottle of wine = 5 miles

With a good set of knees, that seems totally worth it!

Perfect, Jen!!

Nice! So since I ran 13 miles on Saturday I can have 2.5 bottles?

Absolutely.

Yes...yes you can!
