Timelies all!
Happy Anniversary Sparky!(Gary and I are coming up on 10 years in August.)
Happy Birthday JZ!
Forgot to set my alarm last night, and woke up 45 minutes late.(Sometimes whiny cat is helpful.)
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Did I talk much here about the fitness/nutrition challenge I've been doing the last 8 weeks? I feel like, maybe, but probably not. Anyway, I kinda loved it and went looking for another one I could do over the summer. I didn't find anything that seemed to fit, but I found a website where you can put together your own, so anyway, I put one up. Link is here:
I will be starting Monday, going for 4 weeks and the basic guidelines are:
exercise everyday
eat healthy - following a summer non-fasting, non-liquid only cleanse thingy
I will send everyone who signs up the full cleanse guidelines.
If anyone is interested [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hmmm....I've got to do something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, I am already trying to do two not entirely meshing exercise/training plans. Not that I have done any exercising this week - I needed to rest after my vacation.
Maybe the next one I will get in on, though, msbelle. Fall or whenever. I do like that sort of thing.
Happy anniversaries of joyous occasion, my friends!
ETA: Apropos of nothing - can someone do me a favor and just check whether Chris Pratt is really as adorable he seems? Report findings. Thx

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds interesting msbelle. It is easy for me to exercise daily when I get up north. At the moment it is kind of crazy. My daily swimming ended when I moved. Although I can do that anytime now. Is there a particular team to join?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So will it tell me a thing to do, or do I just have to do a thing?

I have never used this site, so we will just figure it out together I guess? No team Laura, just a group.
The challenge I just finished had a daily goal of 10 min of exercise, basically the warm up for any exercise tape. still I didn't do it for many days. so on those days I just got no exercise points.

TLDR ahead.
Given I had a hair-raising ride through formerly-marked-but-rearranged-by-flooding minefields through Mozambique (at night! In the dark! and jesus christ, in farmland, the locals!) I am happy for everyone for what Sparky's husband is doing.
Today wore me out. Successes: found my swimsuits on sale ($35 down from $85, plus 10% off coupon!) and so bought 3. Even though I still have an unworn one in packaging. It's so rare I find them on sales this low, I stock up. This should last me a couplefew years, if the wear of the current is any indication (it's nearing end of life. It's been about 7 months, I think? Which is a little longer than past suits. In this case, it'll be the stitching that goes.)
I'm getting renewed frustration with my swim times. I know some of it is recovery from the cold. But I'm seriously wondering if it is less buoyancy: I was starting to maintain and drop times again. Then in the last few months, I've gotten sick a couple times in such a way that I don't eat for a couple days and when the appetite returns, it is diminished for a good week. I've lost on order of 15 lbs from that. Even with my usual 5lb winter gain (it usually drops off over the summer, so I never fuss about it) that's still kinda a hefty percentage for me in a short, unhealthy period. And after a brief lull after each precipitous drop, my times went to worse shit.
I'm sure part is just bad habits rutted-in when sick and tired, but grrr.
And this week I went to wear a dress I haven't since last summer and it was too big. I figured since it was knit, just from hanging on a hanger for a year. So I washed it and...yeah, still going to need tucks to fit properly. That's not just the 15 lbs. That's changing shape, and bodies are just fucking weird. I mean, I have developed new ab..well, you can't call it definition, but it is a tuck that wasn't there before. FROM A WEEK OF COUGHING.
I'd really really like my times back. I've basically lost a half mile in time and that's insane and makes no sense.
I'm actually really liking the mini. For typing and shopping, less so, but for reading here and fb and articles and...it's book sized. I can tote it around. Score: Dad.
