Tigerland Tidbits

I have not been posting for a bit, but remember my PROmise; well I have been keeping it so I spend a lot less time by the computer. I check on you guys and shutdown. I have been working out so much that even Shane says he misses me. The eating is going well too. I stay with in my allotted points/calories for the day, and use them on healthy choices.

Many thanks, Coach Bill for the wonderful perspectives from Kim Hager! I am a huge fan of hers, and love watching her run in local races. I saw her set the course record at the Houston 1/2 in October.

Shane had to come to LSU, (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) to do some recruiting, and brought me along since he has been missing me. My Mom is keeping the Lil’ Buster. We drove 6 hours yesterday, managing to get in some quality time along with some quality bickering.

Me: Slow the eff down the, it’s raining!
Shane: I wish you would quit your bitching. I should have come alone.
10 minutes later..
Me: My arms are sore.
Shane: That swimming is really taking you out. Want to race at the hotel tonight?
Me: Sure, I’m going to kick your ass!
Shane: Sweet (our pet name), I am so glad we are getting some time together.
Me: Yea, me too.

Shane made sure to get a hotel with a gym and an indoor pool. Last night, we had a nice steak dinner, and afterwards he got some work done while I was at the gym.

I was able to catch the debates while on the bike. I *heart* this bike with a tv attached.

He than joined me for the swim race, and took me out, but complemented me on my nice form. I did kick some 15 yr old girls booty at the gym on Wednesday night that wanted to race me. LOL! Yes, I do get pride beating a 15 yr old; you know how many of these teens beat me at 5K’s?! We are here through Saturday afternoon, and are doing the 7 mile run along the LSU Lakes, Saturday morning. It is supposed to be nice weather wise so it should be suahweet!

Bathroom pic for, Marcy from Britneyville. It is a small bathroom. I had to stand in the shower to take the picture or maybe I am just not that good at the bathroom pics.Eww, wearing the same top from Wednesday. I washed it, I swear...

While, he is working today I am getting to meet one of my online Weight Watchers pals, Paige. She lives outside of New Orleans, but is making the couple hour drive to hang with me. I am so excited, since we have been planning to hang out for some time now. We were going to do a 5K together back in December, but my stress fracture kind of canceled that out. It is wired, but you build a bond with some of these online peeps since you mostly share the same weight loss craziness, and running sickness.

Tonight, Shane and I have a nice dinner planned followed by a movie in the room. “No Country for Old Men”, is on tap tonight to be sure I have seen all the best picture nominated films before Oscar night; I will have to squeeze “Michael Clayton” in Saturday evening. I know I am a movie dork.

Rita, my dearest friend (she's so hawt) & me goofing off while getting party supplies for Lil' Buster's birthday party after my run on Wednesday.

All right, I will take off before I bore you guys to death….
