Jim's Café Tuesday February 14th

[DrownedFishOnFire]

Today is a day in history in my area....

The St. Valentines Day Massacre in 1929... Al Capone and the usual gangster business with those tommy guns. Interesting local history.

Maybe I'm terrible in distracting anyone from this hallmark holiday.
Whoever dislikes what this Valentines day stands for no worries we got awesome discounts on sweets tomorrow.

For the SF style.... its just chocolate covered strawberries as well as potluck style as everyone can bring whatever they want to bring.

The challenge today:

20 minutes of walking. Yep. Just hit the treadmill or just go outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Happy Tuesday!! Thanks for opening up @DrownedFishOnFire.

I brought some banofee pie for us to share. I loveeeee banofee pies.

As for today's challenge, I've a full workout with a group of friends later. I guess that's gonna be super tiring... But I'm looking forward to it.

On a side note, I met my therapist again for the first time in a month. She told me to try and frame things in a more positive way to help with my emotions. I think that's good advice. I'm glad I went to see her.

Awwww man 20 minutes of walking?! That is not my kind of challenge lol. It might have to be cumulative through the day - a few trips up and down the stairs from work.

My diet re-set yesterday so no desserts or sweets for me - but I have an apple so, er... yay?

@Acanthi I think that framing things in a positive way is good advice. It is easier said than done though - good luck with it. You deserve to feel better *

good morning everybody.
I wish you all a happy valentines day. May you consume the sweet nectar that is love so that you can get drunk on happiness.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I always just felt indifferent about this day, but since it is my nephew's birthday, now I will always like it I like the half off sale after the holidays--then I can buy candy I don't need :P
I will be walking a few miles today, so I think that will take care of the challenge.

 

[Walker]

Hi all. No matter your feelings about the "holiday" there's always room for candy. And this challenge of walking on candy eating day? What's that all about? Someone is trying to sabotage us! JK, JK

Today's challenge is going to be easy. I've started walking home from work, that's about four miles. Takes me just over an hour.

Ps @nico_justnico love the avatar!!!!!

Thanks, @DrownedFishOnFire!
I'll bring some Swedish meatballs to share. Hope you like them

It's 4 am and I'm thinking of going in later to see if anybody wants my help/company for the morning shift selling roses around 8. I told my roommate I wasn't going to, but I kind of want to. I'm just a little worried about showing up unwanted. Not that it would matter. I'd just have to go to the library or something if nobody wanted me around, but I can't imagine any of them telling me that. I really like and trust most of the guys who are signed up for the early shift this morning.
As for the challenge, I'll probably walk/jog/run on the treadmill for around 20 minutes or so as part of my workout. Not til this evening though.

 

[Petal]

Yay I actually did the challenge just now after reading about it 30 mins ago. Walked for 25 mins

Hope everyone has a beautiful Valentines day (if you celebrate it)

 

[Acy]

Good Morning all!

To start the day...

And then munchies...

*gasp gasp gasp...20 minutes....I did it...gasp*

<------- btw, not really "me"

 

[Acanthi]

@Freya thanks hun. I think it's hard too, especially because I'm super sarcastic and have a self-deprecating sense of humour, but it's something worth trying.

 

[WatchingPlanesFlyBy]

I can't stand how people have been conditioned to throw away their money to show society that on this day of all days they REALLY care about their significant other. Blatant consumerism at its lowest.

Gonna have to pass on today's challenge: All I want to do is stay curled up in bed :cool:

 

[Baywasp]

Got to school before 8 and almost immediately began selling roses outside in the plaza. Not many people were interested and it was cold, so we went inside. Had fun with all the people I got to see. I had to go to class though, and now I'm waiting to get into my second class. I'll go back to the table after my class is done. Hope some of my closer friends are there because it looks like they might not be until 4 pm. I think we have a meeting tonight too, but I guess I'll see. Maybe my friend B will even show up to that.

Been out and about all day long knee doc was a disappointment the pain I have I will have for the rest of my life. He did offer cortisone shots. Which I am feeling it now. Its painful. Last time I tried it pre surgery it was unbearable for two days but this time I am trying it with only one side knee that was operated on and will see how I feel.

Sent mom another encouragement card and 20 in money order due to her being in rehab and asked the sister and I to replinish her funds the website said to send in cashiers check or MO so did that and hope she gets it before Saturday sister did the same.

20 minute walk challenge was a hour around the stores at work tonight as soon I started to drive and sit down for the evening at work it has started to hurt.

Going to stop at the wing place after work tonite to treat myself to wings and fries.

V-Day should be not just for couples but a family/friends thing to remember to love and remember one another for those harboring resentment I get it...just remind yourselves to love the pet, your family and friends even the annoying neighbor.

20 minutes walking?????
I can do that if I divide up my walking to and from work.
Take care all. Have an awesome day!
