Oh yes, trying to use the forums on the app is awful. I'll just lurk the forums and edit my diary.0

Good for you! I love your love for ice cream!
I tried the Market Pantry Monster Cookie ice cream (I think it was you that told us about it). I loved it! Unfortunately, I ate the whole thing by myself in one sitting! That was one of my high calorie days the other day... 
LOL @ I've had a few people tell me I need to go to Ice Cream Rehab.
Glad to hear you liked it & don't beat yourself up too badly:(. A few months ago I ate a whole carton of the Great Value Cotton Candy ice cream & the sad thing is I didn't even really like it.
Tried a pack of the seaweed tonight in a spicy flavor & it definitely tasted what I thought seaweed would taste like. I have a few more packs & will only eat them when I have a salty craving.
a few years ago i had a obsession with Hershey's Cotton Candy Bar.
https://www.hersheyicecream.com/Novelties/Sticks/cottoncandybar.html
no place in my area carried them, so i would drive 45 minutes to a gas station that carried them and would stockpile.
and now i need one...bad.
Wow those look good. Have you ever tried the Friendly's Cotton Candy Cups that are sold at Giant & Weis? They're usually around $0.88-$1.00.
I tried a new to me flavor tonight Candied Ginger from Sweet Scoops. At first I thought the smell was a bit odd; however, after a few bites I was hooked. It had a slight frozen yogurt flavor with pieces of ginger that tasted like it was a candied ginger slice. I have a feeling I am going to be shopping a lot more at the Bargain place.0 -
Just about to head out from work and need to go grocery shopping before home. Just ate a quest bar to stop the hungries while I am shopping. Here's hoping it can keep me away from the Talenti!! BTW, where is Francl today??
I was wondering the same. Maybe super busy with the kids now that school is out?0 -

That link was blocked at work (ice cream porn??) so had to wait until I got home to see it. Yep, I could get obsessed with those too. I even bought myself cotton candy sprinkles at the bulk store to put on my ice cream.
As if I'm not obsessed with a whole slew of treats that one can only get in the US anyway. Sigh.

I would also like to say that directly because of this thread, I talked to DH last night (and there was no yelling and/or crying involved lol) and we WILL be getting a cleaning service. I'm calling today to schedule the initial intake or whatever. I need the help and I'm tired of feeling like I can't even enjoy my kids bc I'm always working. I will make room in the budget for it. If it delays me upgrading my car, then so be it. It will be worth it.
Didn't have the dog convo yet, but I did sorta bring up the subject of the car. Some forward progress was made but he got a little huffy about, "I'm doing the best I can, I'm only 27 with 2 kids so I don't know how to adult" and I shut down. I have no cares that his co-workers don't have kids. He does, he needs to man up. So in lieu of an argument I stopped talking and went for a walk outside.
AND I'm officially down 30 lb today!!!! WOOT!!!!! 10 lb to goal and then I'll adjust again, but I'm 3/4 done with my initial loss!! I'm concentrating on that today
Awesome!! Happy for some progress being made!
I'm glad. Keep taking care of you
I must have my eyes crossed today. I read that as lap dances during commercial breaks and thought "wow that enthusiasm for the fitbit!!"Glinda1971 wrote: »My goals for today:
-Keep to my calorie goal.
-Drink at least 8 cups of water.
-Get closer to the 10,000 step goal for the day.
I am getting closer, but still not getting enough in during the day. I guess I need to walk laps around my house at night.
When I first got my fitbit that's what I was doing - laps and/ or dancing on the commercial breaks.
LOL!
To get my extra steps in I have did my second day of Zombies Run & usually I'll play Just Dance. The first time I did U Can't Touch This I thought I was going to have a heart attack.0 -

I'm a little freaked out this week, I'm going in for a colonoscopy on Thursday. Fun prep day tomorrow.
No, I'm not old enough for it to be needed, but there is a TON of colon cancer in my family, so I'm being safe.
I missed commenting on a ton of things, but just know that I care deeply and I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping up even when I'm on the road.
Yay, you're back!! I hope the colonoscopy results come back perfectly fine. How do you prep for a colonoscopy exactly? 
By taking big doses of laxitives that make you set up camp in the bathroom for 24 hours beforehand, while only drinking clear fluid.
I had a tray table with my laptop/Netflix happening in there lol.
Oh yeah. I get to take off at noon tomorrow to work from the toilet for the rest of the day.
Wow, that sounds like a super fun way to spend an early day off work. I'm sending comforting thoughts your way!

Way behind, but I wanted to say that I'm so relieved that I am not the only person who hates weddings. I love my friends/family and am happy for them, but my goodness most weddings are the most boring events in the world.
My cousin is getting married in a couple of months and I keep toying with the idea of sneaking my kindle in. I don't know if I'd manage to get away with it though.

Nooooo! Don't do it! I won't if you won't! HONOR SYSTEM!!! lol
I didn't do it! Instead, I had 2 Betty Crocker Warm Delights Minis Molten Chocolate cakes! 300 calories for both...way better than the almost 2000 that I would have eaten if I'd gone to DQ!
Awesome! If it's any consolation, I passed by the ice cream and gelato and got a pint of frozen greek yogurt. 600 cals for the container and it's all mine! lol

Good: I cycled for over 500 miles this month, for the first time, ever. My previous high was around 467. Very proud today.
Bad: I discovered last night, the first girl I fell in love with and was always special to me, died back in 2011 from a prescription pain pill overdose. They found her unresponsive and shut down life support some days later. She left behind 2 grown daughters and a toddler daughter. Tragic.
Confession: When I brought my work clothes to work yesterday (to wear today) I forgot to pack boxer briefs so I am forced to go commando all day. lol
Wow, that's so impressive! What's your next mileage goal?
So sorry to hear about your loss:(.
LOL @ forgetting boxer briefs. At least you remembered pants.
Thanks! Good question on cycling... Probably 550-600 but not in July, I have a schedule change for one month that will upset my commutes to work and back. Hopefully in August!

Ok, I give up!
Seriously, I GIVE UP!
I had an important appointment today that I thought was at 3pm, turns out it was at 2pm. I am not even sure how that happened because that is very unlike me.
Then, just now, my son texts me, to tell me that HIS NEW BIKE THAT HE JUST BOUGHT LAST FRIDAY JUST GOT STOLEN FROM HIS PLACE OF WORK. Are you kidding me?? Not only is that two bikes in seven days, but he just spent nearly $300 FIVE DAYS AGO, and it is gone! He is a 17 year old kid, that is a lot of money to him.....sadly, it is a lot of money to me too, so I am not even sure how much I can help him out.
And he needs a bike to get to work, it is not like he is riding it for fun. He literally uses it for transportation to and from work! Now, he is gonna have to walk the 35 minute walk again for who knows how long until he gets another bike.
I feel terrible for him, I am truly gutted.0 -

Do you have homeowners insurance? They might cover it. When I bought my tri bike I called to insure it. They told me it was covered under homeowners.0 -

My tri watch is a garmin. Too bulky and ugly for every day.
I left my Garmie in a hotel last month. When I replaced it, I wanted the HRM on my wrist and couldn't wait for Garmin to release theirs, so I now use a Tomtom Multisport. It does the job and was cheaper than my beloved Garmie.
I read good reviews on that one. Do you do tris?
One day. I mostly just run. I need some serious coaching on my swimming. LOL
My co-worker is doing 4 Iron Man Tris per year, and it's making me want to do them, too. (even though her life revolves around training).
I have done 3. My 4th is this year. I only trained for the 1st. I am notorious for doing races without training. Stupid. I have a half in 2 weeks. Haven't trained.
Sweet! Marathons are tough, the thought of swimming and biking 114.4 miles and THEN running a marathon. Wow. You rock!
You and me both. Sometimes, I do a half hearted job of training for a race (edited my verbiage for Susie). I'm not running any marathons this year just to try to get my head on straight. My intent is to do ALL the training for my next marathon and see what happens.
I keep signing up for races thinking they will motivate me to train. Yeah not so much. Then I have to go. I mean I paid for this right? And I wouldn't have won anyway. ..
Yep! And, a lot of times, I have friends going. I have to be there for the social part.
I agree. I love the comradarie of a race. And my BFF and I do most of then together (but she trains...)0 -

ETA the cuts on my feet are from another pair of shoes I wore the other day!!!
No judgement, but YIKES. My wedding heels were less than half of that and I STILL nearly killed myself... I would break my neck with the first step!
Editing to add: I also hate heels. And make up. I'm probably the furthest thing from a girly-girl anyone could ever meet. Did anyone here know that?
I might have guessed. I am totally a girly girl and a Tom Boy.
I'm neither... I hate girly stuff like shopping, shoes, and make up, but I'm also not one who would like to "hang with the guys" or something like that. I would love to do stuff like horseback riding, running, climbing mountains, etc., but I think those are gender neutral things (except in Saudi Arabia. -_-)
I confess that I'm rather jealous that everyone's making plans to meet up at some future point and I'm over here with "NEVER GONNA HAPPEN" stamped all over my host country's forehead. *sigh* Although I'm such an anxious chicken that I'd probably never make it to a meet-up anyway...
Onto some positive things! My goals for today were to:
- Do 30-60 minutes of exercise (Did sixty!)
- Drink a minimum of 2 liters of water (Drank nearly THREE!)
- Do the stair thing (Did TWENTY EIGHT FLIGHTS! That's counting up AND down. Up was 18!)
- Finish the housework (Meh. Lazy won today.)
- Steal my husband's sticky notes and post them all over the house (DONE)
- Stay within my calories (Totally accomplished! With room to spare!)
Today was a pretty big win overall! In case anyone is wondering, the sticky notes say:
- What do you want more: To eat that bread, or your HEALTH and HAPPINESS? <-- Posted in my most common secret-eating spot.
- You can do this! <-- On the refrigerator.
- Stairs are FUN! *drawing of stairs* <-- Next to the front door.
- Every meal can either bring you closer to your goal or take it further away. <-- In front of my dining chair, on the wall where I can see it as I'm eating.
- Are those extra calories worth the EXTRA GUILT? <-- On the kitchen entrance.
- Getting closer every day! <-- On a kitchen cabinet
- Every kilo lost brings you closer to a FITBIT! <-- In front of my scale
And, just for fun: "Your wife is SUPER GREAT! *drawing of shark*" <-- On my husband's computer screen.
You are amazing! I have 75% of my goals done...going to get some articles in before I go to bed so I can be at 100%!0 -
