I'm ready for the IM calendar then, you think?

naturaltan · 10-22-2004, 09:19 AM

You may not believe this, but as the others said, you're ready for more than just an IM calendar my dear.

I know your response will be hahahahaha ... and you may never see yourself as most of us here do, but not only are you very beautiful, you're down to earth and seem to have a fun personality.
this compliment is now over due to the length is has carried on for. Now, back to your regular GG journal conversation

Ok point taken. How about I just say, "THANK YOU!" And keep the self-deprecating stuff to myself for once.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAA!

Well... gotta get some busy wokr out of the way, going to the gym at noon, probably working an hour or two later than quittin' time to make up hours from yesterday's day off.

Gotta go pick up the photos from the lab and go see my trainer about some work.

Somewhere in between all that, i have to find a halloween costume. Any ideas?

And you? whatchu up to?

naturaltan · 10-22-2004, 09:47 AM

ideas ... I'm fresh out. I'm not that creative. I re-using last year's costume because I am not creative.

Today ... work till oh, abouit 3:30 ... head home, clean the house and then we're off for a bday dinner. Then out for a few drinks. Tomorrow I have a pool tournament. Usually lasts the weekend, but this team is not very strong, so I'm expecting to be home tomorrow afternoon. Then a little RNR with ouir daughter gone to a sleepover. Sunday - more RNR as we have tow more party weekends coming up.

question: Is Cuban coffee similar to espresso? I've seen two references to Cuban coffee on tv now and I'm curious ...

same thing. when we go to the store to buy "cuban coffee" what we're really buying is espresso -- Cafe Pilon, Bustelo, etc... those spanish brands. All espresso.

I was confused for a long time too, because growing up in a cuban household, the word "espresso" was never used. Just café (and it was implied it was cuban coffee). Then starbucks came along. hahaha!

Check this out.

In fact, as a local Miami newspaper, the Miami New Times, points out:

"There is nothing Cuban about Cuban coffee. The beans are grown in Brazil or Colombia, the coffee machine is made in Italy, and the person who serves it to you from a sidewalk cafeteria is most likely going to be from Nicaragua, Argentina, or anywhere else but Cuba."

naturaltan · 10-22-2004, 11:01 AM

thanks!

Is it 3:30 yet? Time to get this party started.

not a chance.

However, I'm working through lunch so i can get out of here early and just go to the gym after the lunch hour rush is over.

GoalGetter · 10-22-2004, 11:23 AM

Added one more photo to the gallery.

Everyone who knows me knows that I despise Starbucks in principle and rarely frequent their establishment, even if their coffee, even black, is quite tasty.

But now, I'm busted.

MXQdRacer · 10-22-2004, 11:36 AM

Quick question, I see that you are a trainer and had to go to school to obtain this, may I ask which certification you have?

I am not a trainer, yet. I mean yeah i'm certified but not doing much with it yet. I got certified through NCSF (National Council on Strength and Fitness). It was an 8-week course, with a 100+ question exam on the last day.

Man on the side -- I'll check with my fiance and get back to you on that

MXQdRacer · 10-22-2004, 11:45 AM

Ok, I gotcha

I got mine about 6 months ago, and haven't done a thing with it yet. Seems like I wasted 400.00.....

Never wasted if you learned anything.

MXQdRacer · 10-22-2004, 11:50 AM

Very true Rock, very true... Hey, where in Va, are you from? Have I asked you that before??..lol Goal, I'll stop jacking up your journal, sorry about that : )

Rocco32 · 10-22-2004, 11:52 AM

No, it's a whore journal now anyway MXQ, LOL. I'm in Arlington, VA. How far away from you is that?

I wish I had the money to get certified. Not for the certification per se but to have more solid knowledge.

Through who'd you get certified?

I wouldn't call it a waste, honestly. I started out that class kinda clueless, and I think even if I were to never use the cert, I got my money's worth. A lot of people have rolled their eyes when my answer isn't "ACE" or "NASM" or one of those. Like mine is worthless or inferior. But to tell you the truth, the materials were thorough and newly updated, the instructors are professionals in the field, and we did a lot of hands-on work. So far I have only had very very very specific nutrition questions that I couldn't answer myself, but everything else I've wanted to do, I was able to get to by applying the info from my class and my own experience in the gym and with food.

It has also helped me to be able to discern what advice to listen to and what to ignore, when reading the boards, and fitness magazines, etc.

That's precisely what I was getting at. It's worth it if only for the knowledge.

So do I offer good advice or crappy advice? When it comes to ditching your fiance and moving to DC

Haha, whoring is writing in journals or threads responses that have nothing to do with the thread.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
