Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

@atypicalsmith (I think it was you) and POF - I agree on the Therapeutic Riding. My son (multiple things including autism) has done this for several years and after a few years break from it (his choice) he wants to do it again. I'm working on the application forms this weekend.0

Welcome to the new posters and I know there were other comments I wanted to reply to, but I will have to check back in later.0

Confession... I had a cheat meal yesterday (Jersey Mikes Sub) then went for another bike ride afterwards (38+ total for the day) so I went to the store and bought some gelato and ate half the container. Still lost weight. I like this idea... lol0

Oh nom, nom, nom can't go wrong with Jersey Mikes!! That's SUPER great (has to be on the page somewhere
) you still lost weight! 0 -

I hope this went ok. I worry about your son now too!0 -

I'm in book-mourning as I've just finished the latest book in the Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones for you tv people) and the next one isn't even finished being written. Boo!
I'm not sure if book-mourning is a real phrase, but I know several people on this thread will know exactly what I mean.
If that isn't a real phrase it definitely should be. I know I've felt it before and I probably will again.
I totally get book-mourning, especially after a series. (I'm looking at YOU, Rick Riordan!)
ME TOO!!! I read constantly. One of my favorite series is by Patrick Rothfuss. The first book is called The Name of the Wind. The series isn't finished and the waiting for book 3 has been DREADFULLY long.
ETA - Also, The Song of Ice and Fire series is amazing. I totally understand your mourning. Also, I loved Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series! I think we might have similar taste in books!
I didn't read that first series mentioned, you quoted me and another poster (@spamarie). I've read Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, his Heroes of Olympus series, and his Kane Chronicles and loved all of them! I really enjoy kid-friendly books that have good plots.
Sway by Amber McRee Turner is a really amazing child friendly book. I loved it
Ooh, I LOVE getting book recommendations that I might actually be able to read! Thank you!
I actually went through my Kindle the other day and was going to write down all the one I thought you might like but I thought you might think that was weird
I definitely wouldn't! I love to read, but there are so few books that I'm able to read due to my phobia, and I'm also afraid to go LOOKING for books because I don't know how to determine how "safe" they are. I'd love any recommendations you could give me.Susieq_1994 wrote: »Oh, also not so much a confession, but I know there was a lot of discussion about cauliflower as a substitute for things on this thread a few (well a lot of) pages back... I finally got around to making 'cauliflower rice' (aka cauliflower haha) and had it with curry I made from scratch. Consider me converted, it's amaaaazingggg. So few calories, so much yumminess!
Told you so!
I was the one who brought that up, actually; I'd be happy to share my mixed fried cauliflower rice recipe if you want to try another one!
Oh that sounds delicious! @Susieq_1994 - would you please share the mixed fried cauliflower rice recipe? Also, if you have a recipe for a cauliflower-type cheesy fake mashed potato dish, I'd love that, too!
Sure, I'll send it to you in a private message. I'm personally not a fan of replacing potatoes with cauliflower (I don't think the taste or texture come close enough), so I've never tried that particular substitution. But the rice is really close, enough that you hardly notice the difference at all!
@KrisiAnnH I'll send it to you as well.
Someone may have already done this, but maybe a recipe thread in the group would be a good idea?
It hasn't been done, but it IS a pretty good idea! Recipes tend to fly around here--I know I've shared tons of them with people in this thread, both through PM and through just posting them here.
I would love a centralized location for recipes. I have missed so many of them and there are just too many pages to go thru to find them.0 -
I am wearing a skirt today (which happens maybe twice a year) and every time I go in the bathroom I check out my butt and do a little shake thing because I like the way the skirt moves
I love skirts. I do this with dangly earrings and bracelets and necklaces. I love to hear them jingle.0 -
Me too!! @Susieq_1994 will you please start one? With your cauliflower rice?
I don't like cooked cauliflower as a rule, but maybe I'll like that.
I don't like many cooked veggies.

Have you ever gone back to the classics like Thomas Hardy or Jane Austin? They are all g rated and Thomas Hardy writes beautifully. I like to read him just to experience his writing. And the stories are good too!0 -

Awe thank you Patricia. I think things are going good. I talked to Kypton this morning and he said they were going to the park. I was glad to hear that. 24 hours and he will be home. Just one more night to get through0 -

Also, @LBuehrle8, I do not think it is selfish in ANY WAY to want to be fit and healthy at any point in your life...whether before or after kids. I am in better shape now than before having my son...20 pounds lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight...and with some muscle too...can see abs for the first time ever.
So another confession...I'm tired of hearing about people getting free stuff all the time...my husband and I get nothing, ever!
So this may be a little pathetic but I don't care..two nights ago (the night before my bday), I signed up for the Dairy Queen Eclub, the Cold Stone Creamery Eclub, and the Amatos Eclub...because I wanted my FREE ice cream, FREE Blizzard, and FREE sandwich for my birthday! We enjoyed Cold Stone last night...and I'll probably swing by Dairy Queen today or tomorrow! I'm also part of the Panera Eclub and will stop by there soon to grab my FREE birthday dessert. I haven't gotten my email with coupon for my Amatos sandwich yet...but I will enjoy that soon too! Yay for free food.
Awesome job on rocking the workouts & free ice cream is never bad:D.0 -

Sure, I'll do it when I get on my laptop!
For the record, I generally CANNOT STAND cooked cauliflower, so me liking the recipe is a pretty big thing.
Yay, you're so close!! Just 373 left! 0 -

Sorry I am a bit late with this but you were the first person I thought of when I saw the headlines. XOXOX0 -

Confession... I had a cheat meal yesterday (Jersey Mikes Sub) then went for another bike ride afterwards (38+ total for the day) so I went to the store and bought some gelato and ate half the container. Still lost weight. I like this idea... lol
Yeah buddy! Nice job on the mileage & which kind of gelato did you get?0
