Team Skinny (April Pleasures) (Page 20)

If we are discussing reading habits - I love to read.  I don't have 3-4 books going at a time if they are fiction, I read them one at a time.  Non-fiction?  Yeah, maybe 2 I'm kinda looking at.

I read fast,  I think I developed the skill because I can't wait to get to the end of the book if I'm enjoying the story.  I can finish a novel in 3-4 hours.  So, that was my reward for last week - I bought the new JD Robb and read the first few chapters Sun night and the rest on Monday.  It felt very decadent.  I've never tracked how many books I read a year - that might be an interesting statistic.  I own at least 200 though. 

and another one. own about 300 books. my job involves a lot of train travel - perfect for reading time currently reading wild swans by jung chang, a personal/socio-political history of china. usually have one non-fiction and one fiction on the go at the same time but this book too good to share with any other!

Congrats Saph!

Congratulations all you losers! (became too many to congratulate individually ) Happy passover to fone and Abbie!

I'm a reader too, though don't seem to have much time for fiction these days with training. Once I start a good fiction book I can't put it down til I'm finished! Reading alot of nonfiction books these days though, especially triathlon related. I did just buy Kurt Vonnegut's new collection of essays (can't remember the title). So, my reward for doing some sort of activity every day will be to take an afternoon off and read it . Thanks Saph, I love this idea!

Sorry my weigh in is a little late.

this week 119

last week 118.?

Wanting to eat everything that's not nailed down the last few days. Can it be that time again already? Maybe it's just the weather and not being able to get outside enough.

Yep that counts as moving, good for you! 

Very quiet, what's going on????

Well Enders, I guess it's just us today.  Anyway, I'll share a story.  Today I had the most amazing run, EVER!  I went out for my 10-miler this morning.  Was listening to my iPod and after about 20 minutes into the run, I decided to pick up the pace evey other song.  For the songs in between, I would slow down and use it as a recovery.  When I finished the run, I was done in 1:24:00!!!  Based on that my average pace was 8:24 p/mile!  I walked the first 2-3 minutes as a warm-up so my pace could have even been a bit better.

So I get home very excited about my run share the great news with my hubby.....THEN.....I shower and get dressed and find....(drum-roll please)......my bra has creases in the cups because I'm not filling it out the way I used to!!!  Granted the "girls" were never huge to start with, but I just starting laughing. Then I went to find my hubby and I flashed him my sagging bra...ha ha!!!

Tonight I'm off to Arizona for a mini-vacation.  Yippee!   

Josh,  That is pretty interesting.  I definitely didn't know Melvilles' eating habits while writing. 

Enders:  Glad to see you were working hard all day....yeah right!!!

Abbie:  Let me make sure we have this picture right.  You now have saggy drawers and a wrinkly bra...GOOD FOR YOU!!! 

Surprised he still has all his fingers and toes.
