    For me, today's magic number must be 2.

    Recorded a 2.2 lbs loss this AM.
    Rode 2 extra miles on the way to work.
    Found a washed and crumpled $2 in my jeans pocket once I got to work.

    I had the exact thoughts about getting banana gunk on your hands :tongue:

    Also, I grew up in South Carolina and I have never had a banana and mayo sandwich. Not only that, but it sounds disgusting to me! I already don't like mayonnaise that much, but maybe I'd like the sandwich. Who knows? I think it was Italian_Buju who mentioned eating tomato and peanut butter sandwiches. All kinds of combinations you'd never think to try out there.

    Oh banana sandwiches are heavenly! I need one in my life here soon I do believe! Try it, it's better when there's not a lot of mayo, and it must be dukes mayo! ;)

    I agree. They are good. Better than PB & banana. It has to be the grand a perfectly ripened banana, good mayo spread at the perfect thickness and soft, moist bread.

    Ugh another who just can't wrap their head around mayo and bananas! I like bananas, they're not my favorite thing in the world but I LOVE mayonnaise- on LOTS.

    This is going to sound weird but I wish I knew you guys IRL lol…it helps SO much to be able to talk to someone. I’m the only one in my friend group that has kids, so sometimes I feel like I’m the “weirdo”.

    Another woosh last night so I’m only 2 lb away from my first goal now. That’s nice, but all I can see is how far I have left to go :(
    And…would this bother anyone else? My brother in law gave us his car to either keep or sell and use the $ for the boy’s college tuition fund. I was thinking I’d drive it and sell mine. DH was off work yesterday and went and registered it at the Secretary of State. I realized if I sell my car, I will have nothing in my name. Bills, utilities, credit cards are in his name, his car is in his name, mine is in mine, but if I keep BIL’s car, it’s all in his name. It vaguely bothers me, like it’s the 1950’s and everything has to be in the man’s name. I work, I make 2/3 of what he does, but I contribute significantly. Am I being weird about this?

    I think you should get a credit card or something in your name. Having your own credit rating is important especially if something happens and you don't have him anymore. (Not thinking anything will). I've heard stories of women who had everything in their husband's name and struggled later trying to do anything when he was gone.

    Just my $.02.

    I went pushed my shoulder a little more than I should have yesterday and it gave me grief while I was combing my hair. :/

    I have an appointment to see my dr about the same thing. It had been giving me pains for a while. I finally made the appointment when trying to brush my hair felt like someone stabbed my shoulder with a knife! (I think mine is rotator cuff related.)

    Hope you feel better soon!

    My one morning a week to lie on and here I am, bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6.30. I'm not happy!!

    I stopped setting an alarm. I always wake up between 5:30 and 6:15 every day, no matter how late I'm up at night or how tired I am. Can't go back to sleep once I'm awake either. It stinks!

    I always have at least 2 BIG frozen margaritas from my neighborhood joint along with a big plate of chori-pollo. Soooo good. Problem is the margs are so dense they give you the WORST brain freezes ever. I have them add an extra shot of the good stuff to help the melting process. lol

    I like mine on the rocks. Don't be watering down my margarita with that blended ice! ;)
    I ate a stuffed avocado. Ever had one? Oh so good! They empty out the avocado skin and fill it with shrimp and crab and cheese, put the avocado on the plate to eat with. Squeeze some lime over that bad boy...mmmmmm!

    I just ate a banana and I thought about back when I spent some time in a hospital. There was a girl who sat next to me and started ranting about the proper way to eat a banana. She said that her mom and sister peeled back the banana and ate it while it still sat in the rest of the peel. She claimed to have never seen anyone else do it like that.... and all I could think was ''Wait... you REMOVE the whole banana before eating it???'' I had never seen her way and she had never seen mine.

    She thought this was crazy:

    Most people eat their bananas like this, right? :lol:

    Hilarious conversation. :) I eat them the same way you do.

    Not weird at all. I am used to having my own stuff too and would feel a bit weird if all of our stuff were in my husband's name. Congrats on the whoosh too!! I wish I were closer to my first goal. Time to buckle down!

    Confession:

    I have not come on this thread for a few days because I felt like the posts I made about my issue with my SO and my issues with struggling to WANT to lose weight were not well received and I felt embarrassed and wished I had not written about those things. Over time I started to feel too comfortable and speaking too freely I guess.

    Late last night before bed I noticed I had notifications and checked them which brought me to a few posts here and I saw @Susieq_1994 saying I was avoiding you guys, and I just wanted to make it clear that it was my own issues and not you guys as to why I was not posting here.

    I was still posting in the fitbit and Big Brother thread because they felt safe, like single topic threads. Also, as you guys have seen, I am not afraid of confrontation, so it is not like I need everyone to agree with me or anything, about anything, I am not sure why I reacted so strongly, maybe because they were on top of each other, not sure, no idea really, but it affected me for some reason.

    In short, I decided that I did not want to become that annoying poster that everyone rolls their eyes at, lol, so I stuck with single topic things, like fitbit and goodreads, status etc. I have not avoided anyone in particular, or felt upset with anyone other than myself.

    Another rocks fan here!! The stuffed avocado at my fave joint has fajita beef or chicken and cheese with most of the flesh still in tact, then they bread it and fry it up whole. I can't eat a whole one!!

    If I make margaritas at home, it's usually on the rocks (with an extra shot).

    I recently discovered, stuffed, fried avocados. (Half avocado, stuffed with yummy goodness, battered and deep fried) OMG! Worth every single calorie!

    These stuffed avocados aren't fried. They're in the menu in the salad section. They are perfect on hot summer days!

    Dahhhh confession- I waaay over ate today! I was back on track for a couple days but completely fell off today. Ugh trying to get my head back in this game!

    Do it before the weekend! Because of the 4th (let's blame it on that) mine started last Friday and ended Sunday lol and I am just now getting back to where I was. Which basically means I spun my tires for an entire week. I've already committed myself to good choices this weekend buuuut Sunday is my daughters 10th birthday party so cake will happen. I'll have to ride some extra miles this weekend.

    Same problem here. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. And then Saturday we're meeting up with family for lunch because my niece is visiting from NC. Lots of food will happen.

    Same here. Except for me it's that I'm looking forward to Eid too soon and already getting into the "free calorie" mindset. O.o I haven't gone over or anything, but I can feel it creeping into my mind and I'm trying to fight it off. Eid is in 6 days! Not today! *bonks self in head*

    Wanted to share: I asked you awhile back if it was ok for me to ask a woman at my son's summer camp, who is Muslim, how Ramadan was going. She is supervising 2nd and 3rd graders all day and they are outside most of the day. I was able to ask her earlier this week. She was very sweet, was sharing how hard it was, thanked me for asking. Thank you, Sawsan!

    You're very welcome! I'm glad you approached her--questions aren't that scary, see? ;) Most Muslims welcome them. :)

    I'm almost done with Survivor 29 and I am really upset by the final three. One of them I like ok (and I think for sure is going to win), the other two I never really liked... and the person I wanted to win got voted out in fourth place. ARGH. Hate it when that happens.

    On another note, I keep hearing some weird sound coming from my kitchen and I'm not sure what it could be. I told my boyfriend our apartment must be haunted or something. It almost sounds like some water is splashing on the floor violently, but I can't find anything wrong. We recently had an ant infestation so maybe a big ant is making noise in our wall as revenge for our ant murder.

    Creepy. I hope you can figure out what it is. If you do, let us know.

    Back in about 2009 or 2010, we had a few months were my whole family was experiencing weird things (in different locations) that I've never been able to explain to this day. It was really weird... I felt like we were all haunted for a while too.

    Had a whole post on this but it got eaten, so here's myCliffNotes:

    *cue creepy music and/or men in white coats to take me away, whichever you prefer*

    I don't think you are crazy. Like I said it was the weirdest thing that for a couple years my whole family was experiencing weird things. Loud bangs and tapping noises, things would move on their own etc. Nothing before or since.

    A lot of different things happened but here are a couple examples:

    ~I had a glass candle holder that was sitting behind a couple other items on a shelf. When I got home from work one day the holder was on the floor and the glass was shattered all over the carpet. For this to happen it would have had to have been picked up and moved over the other items in front of it and slammed against the soft carpet.

    ~I was at work and I worked at the front desk. I heard the elevator chime as I usually did when someone came up them. I heard and saw the door handle jiggle which used to happen a lot (we had glass on the sides and then a locked wooden door). I went to the door to help let the person in but no one was there. I checked the cameras for that time and couldn't see anyone pass by any of the glass windows.

    I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.

    If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares. :)
    It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.

    I have tons of stories like that from growing up. TONS. As Muslims, we believe in the existence of Jinn (as I mentioned before), and many of these things are attributed to the actions of the jinn. We've had knives fly across our kitchen by themselves before, along with non-existent children's voices and running sounds, lamps moving across tables and crashing to the floor by themselves, and a whole bunch of other things.

    The one you mentioned about trying to sleep has happened to me and to my sister. A friend of my mother's who is knowledgeable in the ways of the jinn told us to go into the room after dark and ask the jinn politely to please leave because the house is occupied, and my mom did that; it didn't happen again afterwards. It was weird. :p Also, my mom and brothers kept seeing a man out of the corner of their eye in the same house, then there would be nothing when they turned around to take a look.

    There's a very old city in Oman outside of the capital region called Bahla, and it's known as the haunted city--many people who live there are afraid to leave their homes after dark because that's when the jinn are said to be most active.

    Wow these stories gave me the chills. That is really scary. I couldn't imagine seeing knives flying around...or hearing voices AHH. I didn't do the same thing as your mom's friend but I basically imagined a protective bubble around myself when I felt scared and it seemed to help a lot. Most people here probably think I'm a nut now. :) No judgement.

    I had a couple more that happened around that time as well that I thought of:
    One was right after my would be father in law died (my boyfriend's dad) I was working on getting pictures ready for his funeral and the light turned off. I ran to my bedroom and woke my boyfriend up but by the time we got back in that room it was back on. Also it happened one other time when it was Thanksgiving (only a month after his death) and my boyfriend's brother, my boyfriend and some of my family were in that same room and the light turned off and then came on again a few minutes later. It never did it again.

    The other one I thought of was having something walking across the bed while trying to sleep. We had just lost our cat around that time and it felt JUST like a cat walking across the foot of the bed. I never mentioned it but a few months later my boyfriend started talking about how sometimes while in bed (and I finished his sentence because I knew what he was going to say) he would feel something walking across the bed. I always thought I was imagining things but when he said that too, I knew it wasn't just me. It stopped happening after that year though.

    Like I said, this all happened within a couple years around 2009-2010 which was a very stressful year with a few deaths in it. Scary stuff.

    I spent a lot of nights as a child with this fear. Ever heard of 'shadow people'? When I was a kid I saw a tall shadowy figure standing in my doorway every night. I was terrified and couldn't move. This happened in three different houses, until I was about 16. Thankfully I've never seen it since, but my brother and his girlfriend saw something similar a couple years ago in his room. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned there are people worldwide who have seen something similar. We can't all be crazy, right? ;)

    Yes, shadow people totally freak me out. That is something I NEVER want to see EVER. I'm so sorry that you saw that. I have the chills so bad right now.

    Anything paranormal and I am all over it! I've had run ins with "spirits" (whatever term you go with) when I was younger, seeing them and communicating with them. Now I still have sightings but it's not as vivid as a child. I think the most vivid and scary memory I have is when I was 6 or so a close family friend and my babysitter passed away overnight from a stroke, no one knew until the morning. I have a very vivid memory of waking up in the middle of the night with her standing next to my bed, she reached out and pushed my hair out of my way and then poof gone. Finding out the next morning she had passed was terrifying, it took a long time for me to come terms with what happened.

    I'm really into paranormal stuff too. I think all these stories are so interesting. I do get chills though. :)

    I'm joining the gym today. It will be my first official workout at the gym with my boyfriend. I'm excited though! Sure I'll be unable to move later...

    What's with all the sweet pickle hate? I love ALL the pickles. More for me, tra la la!

    I am in this camp. I like dill, bread & butter, sweet gherkin and all relish.

    Me too!

    Can someone tell me what in the world bread and butter pickles are? :-/ They sound so weird... Does anyone actually put pickles on bread and butter?!

    It's like dill or sour pickles, but it's a sweet brine as opposed to a sour one. My parents love them, I'm not that excited about them. And for the life of me, do NOT get me started on those "koolicles" or whatever they're called! Pickles and kool aid have NO business being together :confounded:

    I like pickles and have never heard of koolicles but that sounds gross to me too.

    Confession: THREE margaritas last night at the Mexican restaurant, then a copper camel when I got home...

    Sounds delish!

    It totally was. Vacation eating apparently started the night before...LOL

    I always have at least 2 BIG frozen margaritas from my neighborhood joint along with a big plate of chori-pollo. Soooo good. Problem is the margs are so dense they give you the WORST brain freezes ever. I have them add an extra shot of the good stuff to help the melting process. lol

    I like mine on the rocks. Don't be watering down my margarita with that blended ice! ;)
    I ate a stuffed avocado. Ever had one? Oh so good! They empty out the avocado skin and fill it with shrimp and crab and cheese, put the avocado on the plate to eat with. Squeeze some lime over that bad boy...mmmmmm!

    Another rocks fan here!! The stuffed avocado at my fave joint has fajita beef or chicken and cheese with most of the flesh still in tact, then they bread it and fry it up whole. I can't eat a whole one!!

    These stuffed avocados aren't fried. They're in the menu in the salad section. They are perfect on hot summer days!

    Your stuffed avocado sounds delicous! I may need to tell Sergio about that one. Maybe he can add it to the menu!
