Can't ya'll at least wait to abuse when I'm here to defend myself?? Sheesh!

Ali, darlin, you can have the thread next month - unless Trops outs you, that is. ;)

Welcome everyone. Good to see new faces around here. :D Yay! We're the cool kids! :p
 
Good morning, good morning. Glad to see everyone bright eyed and chipper.

Just thought I'd let you all know that I actually got up early today and went running. I ran 5k in 26 min and 26 sec, a PB for me. Smashed my last best time by a minute and a half. I'm very excited. Now I'll goof off for the rest of the day. :sifone:

How's everyone else doing this fine morning?

I can't speak for everyone but I'm just peachy - well, except for the fact I have become aware my bank is employed by idiots. And it's not one branch. Apparently it is a city-wide epidemic. They are all freakin flippin idiots. Needless to say I am in the market for a new bank.

Otherwise, I am just peachy. :D

Congrats on the running, dear. I bet your brain is just swimming in feel-good hormones. You probably deserve to goof off a little bit after that! ;)

Ah, the corporate zombies. Can't think, just follow the manual. If it isn't in the manual then it doesn't exist. "We're sorry, the compute says that it deleted all your money, so therefore you have none. Have a nice day." :cuss:

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. For the second time in as many weeks they have lost a paycheck deposit - a whole freakin check! - and despite the fact we have a RECEIPT to prove the transaction took place . . . we have to fill out a dispute and wait for some moron to run it through a week from now. Grrr!

Hey! Did you notice the profiles are different? You can upload pics to albums and leave messages, etc. :D Cool!
 
I'm still in I promise!! I'm on vacation this week, so my weight loss will most likely be a no go this week, but next week I'm back in the game with a vengence.

I'm spending the week with my boyfriend and his family. I love them!

July 1: 212.4
July 8:
July 15:
July 22:
July 29:

JULY TOTAL:

My first short term goal for weight loss was to get to 209 and be below 210 for the first time since high school. I'm only 3 pounds away from that. I'm pumped to finally get there in July! I know I can do it! I just know I can!!

I promise I won't screw around too much this week, but I'm not gonna deprive myself of a little vacation junk food. This is a lifestyle after all!

I'll be around this week, but I won't be attached to my computer 24/7 as I usually am.

Good attitudes everyone! I'm impressed!!
 
OK, Jess. We're with you. What's the plan for vacation? Are you going someplace exciting?

Thanks, bro. I haven't raced one yet, but I've been running it so that when I do I'll have my pace down and not go too fast or too slow.

Damn, man, 180's! That's really great.
 
Oh boy, we are really in for it this month...

So I've noticed something. It's been something I've been monitoring and I'm pretty sure it's really there and not just me being nutty. Whenever I have a really hard task at work (generally involving programming something or making circuits), I get REALLY hungry for salty greasy foods like potato chips and french fries. It's happened more than once. It's very strongly correlated with programming.

So I looked into it. Thinking really hard burns an additional 1.5 calories a minute while walking burns 4 calories a minute. Can I think my fat off?!?! Seriously, this summer is going to be one helluva project at the lab. I'm "thinking" myself thin baby!
