Damn Groundhog

Something tragic happened today.  I went to Starbucks for lunch, because sometimes the only thing that I want is a Venti Soy Pumpkin Spice Latte, no whip.  Since the Target Starbucks has been broken the last umpteen times I've tried to go I haven't had my fix in a while.  So, today at lunch I ran to the mall.  Went up to the counter, and order my PSL.  I was informed they were out of Pumpkin.  Which means Pumpkin Spice season is over!  I can't have another one until the Fall.  Seriously people.  This is not good.  How will I comfort myself now.  (I know, Mary will tell me to work out or something, but it's just not the same!)

My wonderful sister, in trying to cheer me up about this horrible end to my crappy week, informed me that it just means it's almost Spring.  And that I'll be running outside in the warm sunshine soon.  So, I guess Phil really didn't see his shadow, and we aren't stuck with 6 more weeks of winter.  Well, thanks a lot you damn rodent.  Now what the heck am I going to drink for lunch?

Lol...I love reading your perspective on life. Your words are just like I'm listening to you talk. I had my own crappy Starbucks experience today (i actually went cuz after reading ur fb status, i realized i havent been there in awhile)...ordered a tall skim white choco mocha, in the drive thru. Paid. Drove away. Took a SIP of my drink, and tasted hot milk, with absolutely nothing in it. NOT EVEN EXPRESSO. And I was late going somewhere so I couldn't go back. Boo Starbucks today!!!

Wait a second, they are out of THiS? WHAT! I don't know if even a bike ride will even fix this.

Today Sucks

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary.  Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of me finding out about the other woman, and two days after that is when we agreed to end the marriage.  This weekend I'm moving out of my house.  Basically the week sucks.  Then throw in the anniversary of my miscarriage fourth of July weekend, and I may as well put myself back in the psych ward for the next 3 weeks.  Yesterday I spent the day mourning what had been my life.  The boys went with their dad for father's day, and I lay in bed sobbing and crying and wishing it would all go away.  I remembered all of the awesome fun times we had as a family.  I thought about our wedding day, the days the boys were born.  The fun times we had together.  Tonight they will be with him too.  I'm going to go for a long ride and run, and then come home and probably cry just a little more.  Then, tomorrow, I will move on.  I will pick up the pieces...

Livestrong at the YMCA Green Lakes Triathlon Race Report

Yesterday was my first tri of the season.  It was also my first tri since he moved out.  My first tri since my hospital stay, and my first tri with out my original training buddy Missy who originally motivated me to tri in the first place. It was also my first tri on meds, and my first tri with my period (i know tmi, but it was an unneeded stressor)  Not to mention my first tri season with out a coach.  Needless to say, I wasn't feeling ready for it.  About a week before I told a few friends that I quit.  That I wasn't doing it.  That I knew I couldn't.  I had so much self doubt, and the voice of one former "friend" telling me I didn't have what it would take kept ringing in my ear.  A couple of my friends said, ok, if that's what you want, we will support you.  But Kristin wasn't having it.  Her text to me went something like this:  it's a sold out race, you took a spot that someone else could have had, you owe it to them t...

Nutrition Failure

I have three main obstacles preventing me from being the best possible triathlete I could be.  Two of them I have no control over, time and money.  I can't make more hours in the day than there are, and my money situation isn't going to change any time soon.  The third obstacle is my nutrition.  This is the one area that I can fix, and I'm having a very hard time with it.  I want to eat right, and want to fuel my body properly, but need lots of help in this area. Now that the holiday's are past, and we are back into more of a normal routine, I'm trying to force myself into healthy eating habits, and trying to drag the two non-willing members of my family with me.  The trouble is, I'm not really good at the planning healthy meals.  Dinner's I'm pretty good at.  I have been getting better and better at planning a weeks worth of healthy meals, and the boys usually eat them.  But breakfast and lunch I'm not so good at.  Especially since I ...
