Bargaining with Myself...

[cynthiar2003]

Okay. New plan - if I get a BFN this weekend, I get to go buy new running shoes so I can start training to run my first 5k.

That should help to distract me for a few months, right? And maybe I'll lose a few pounds in the process.

How do you try to take the sting out of BFNs?

Grappa and Wine.

Good plan! Maybe I should plan on that, too... being as I signed up for my very first 5K for June 23 and have yet to do any training what-so-ever.

I typically sulk for a bit then go have a few beers with my friends.

I rationalized the last one with the fact that I would've been too far along to go visit family this Christmas. (We trade years and this one is supposed to be with mine.) I don't know what I'll tell myself for the next one.

[schuebja]

I do that same thing. Right now, I'm training to do a 5k as well, but we'll see if I can keep it up. Otherwise, some sort of alcoholic beverage usually helps as well.

Wine and taking it as a sign that I should up my exercise program.

DH and I go out for a big sushi dinner :Y:

[thekikimonster]

These days, BFNs don't bother me as often. I still like to eat a lot of cheetos and drink wine on CD 1 though. Sometimes I throw lots of sushi in the mix.

Just ran my first 5k, it was an awesome feeling! Good Luck

I know I have a whole new month that I can drink before having to give it up for almost a year!

[janice9821]

I just bought some new running shoes! I'm TTA for a few months, so I figured I'd make a new goal for myself - like you, I'm aiming for my first 5k.

I usually console myself with a night out with a few girlfriends and a bottle of wine, and tell myself that it means that MH and I can grow our savings that much more. The wine(or beer!) is key

[mrssoprano]

I too will go with wine and sushi :drink:

[weansworld09]

We're training do our first 5K too. Although I've been slacking this past week and a half..

[sarack]

If I get a bfn this next week ill make sure to get in the gym harder this next mo.

[emisi]

Wine and sushi sound awesome right now. And usually I have a drink of some sort.

A nice long run followed by a margarita...
