Team Skinny (Feb 09) The month of Love (Page 17)

Cead_Mille_Failte - 2009-02-27 3:09 AM Hello Teammies! Been away for a while but I can explain First of all I had friends visitng for the last few days- I'm just gonna say that we drove 600km in 2 days (me driving!) and the food and drinks were definitely not diet/low fat. That's why I didn't post my weight this week but I know it's up - after 2 weeks of not training some of my clothes don't fit as well as they did and my belly os back to it's '6 months pregnant' shape. Other than that my physio told me yesterday that I can't go back to training yet And after that announcement she told me that I'm too fat for a triathlete and that if I wanna be a triathlete I need to increase my level of fitness. Any guesses how I felt afterwards? Even though all she said was true there was no need to be like that. She's very skinny so I figured that she hasn't eaten in years which means she starving and therefore mean. I think she also wasn't entirely happy with the fact that I'm using a free University service considering my origins - like I was using the system. Well I think I'm gonna try and do some light jogging on Monday or I'll go crazy - I miss my workout sooooo much! The other reason why I wasn't posting was that I'm really upset with the fact that I can't train - it does make sense in my head. Have ye ever seen Run Fatboy Run? I think it's one of the funniest movies ever and my signature quote comes from it - Simon Pegg (the ginger one) and Dylan Moor are incredible! Just a quick link to see how they say those lines (from 0:00 to 1:00ish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcGlPxo8S2s Enjoy!

OMG!!!

 she told me that I'm too fat for a triathlete and that if I wanna be a triathlete I need to increase my level of fitness. 

What a cow, does she think triathletes spring ready-formed from the mud all toned, fit and 5% fat?  I think there's something in what you said about hungry people - my sister is very skinny and she's one of the nastiest people I know.  Don't let it get to you though it's probably too late and use your indignation for good, channel it during your next workout.  Any chance you can change to someone more sympathetic or are you stuck with the skinny b!tch?

Not me...I'm ending the month at 128 - GRIPE! I'm really frustrated at having to work so hard for each little pound, THEN having to work so hard just to maintain each little loss...I've been taking it easy this week, but I have NOT been eating bad, so I'm kinda ill about it! (Can you tell??!!)

I agree.  Can you find someone else to go to?  Can you imagine PAYING this woman to say these things to you.?   I'd like to know her definition of triathlete.  As far as I am concerned, someone who does triathlons is a triathlete.  Nowhere in the definition is there anything about speed, physical conditioning or whatever.  As a fat slow triathlete (hoping to be a less fat and less slow triathlete), I can safely say that I have never been the fattest or slowest on one the course. If you are fit enough to do the bloomin' thing, you are a triathlete.   I am a triathlete and so are you.

I didn't make it to Weight Watchers this week and will just use last week's number - 152.6.  My home scale says I am down from that, but I want to be consistent and use the WW number.  This way I can have a big drop next week.  That's my story and I am sticking to it.

My goal for March will be the same goal as I had for February - 145.  

I skipped the last 2 weeks.  I was in a funk.  I beleive I'm better now.  I think it has to do with the warm weather 

This weeks weigh in is 167.
