I spent the whole morning researching and talked to my husband and I think we might get to go to Peru after all in September!
Wow. That's awesome. I really hope you get to go. I've never been on a trip like that so I'm super jealous that you are planning something like that.
How fun!

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 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.
That's what we have running around that I was joking around wasn't a squirrel Tall, skinny, corner of the eye things (or sometimes full vision right in front of you but that's not the norm) that dart around. I see them a lot more when we're stressed or there's lots of turmoil in the house. 0 -

Confession: I'm in constant pain lately and due to a knee injury, can't exercise(Most things are too much impact and I'm in screaming pain for weeks afterwards). It's been over a year since the injury happened and I had started walking again without my cane but now I'm back to almost needing it again.
SO. Today, after I saw some of the suggestions to go swimming(I like being in water but I hate the upkeep of shaving etc to get to the pool) I decided to look for a full body swimsuit because I'm uncomfortable in regular 1 or 2 piece suits. I found one on my lunch today and bought it, along with a swim cap so that I can finally feel confident enough to go and do something for myself that hopefully won't end in pain! I'm really excited and I know I'll get weird looks at the pool but I don't care.
Also got a referral for physio so hopefully the combination will help!
Sorry you are dealing with this. I'm two months into a knee injury as well. Thankfully mine is just a small meniscus tear so physical therapy has been able to help with that. I still can't do squats, kneel, go up/down stairs without pain but otherwise I'm doing okay.
I'm glad to hear you got a swimsuit that will work for you (I hear you on the shaving thing haha). I hope swimming helps. I swam for the first time last week. The only thing that bothered my knee was when I was holding onto the side and kicking my legs fast so I won't do that anymore. Be careful but have fun. 0 -

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.
You should feel comfortable here. Maybe people didn't fully understand your situation. Everyone deals with different struggles and it doesn't make them any less than anyone else's. I know I don't always respond to everyone's posts when they are having difficulty. Sometimes I don't have the words, sometimes I can't relate, sometimes I'm just dealing with my own "stuff", and sometimes I feel like I post too much so I hope someone else responds to that post. Hope you are back for good! We've missed you!0 -

Whoa...I read "I am 20, and my first boyfriend is 9 years younger." I was thinking, ELEVEN years old?!? Are you trolling?!? LOL. More coffee needed this morning.
That's how I first read it too!0 -

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.
I am sorry, but bananas and mayonnaise sound disgusting together. I'm not a huge fan of bananas anyway, but don't you DARE sully my precious mayonnaise with one. I almost always ask for extra mayo on sandwiches and burgers.

Totally agree with this. Nobody was judging you for your feelings on any of the situations, just weighing in on them. You shouldn't feel badly about sharing anything here! 0 -
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!
You are not alone-
I would say today is a new day, but I'm headed for a similar day today- sushi for lunch, then a birthday party. No planned exercise today either! SMH
Tomorrow?!
I was under yesterday...but I most likely won't be today or tomorrow (although I will try!!)...birthday lunch for husband and family get together tomorrow for lunch as well. I can't control myself with yummy restaurant food. Oh well, we can all hop back on the wagon together.0 -

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've said the same thing basically. I wish I knew you guys. It does help a lot to have someone to talk to about problems when you have no one else to confide in.
Be proud of your accomplishments...don't let what you still have to do take away from what you've already done.
I'm not sure what I think about the last part of your post. It might bother me a little I guess. It does sound like the 1950's. I'm sure I'll see a response that I like as I read on that echos my thoughts. Sorry I'm not more help.

A few hours here at work then off to Lake Livingston for the weekend. Sun, fishing, maybe some swimming and hopefully the mosquitos won't carry me off!!
Have fun @crosbylee !!! We'll miss you and @quiksylver296 Hope you both have safe but super great trips!!0 -

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.
Haha I knew I'd find a response that I liked. This^. I agree. Make sure you have good credit as well. Hopefully the one car you had in your name helped with that. 0 -

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
Sorry, I am a few pages back. When my son played little league football, the kids went nuts over 'picklesicles'. We literally froze the leftover pickle juice in small containers (jello shot) and sold them. Nothing added.
My kids' school had this at basketball games, too.
Pickle juice is actually one of the best remedies for muscle cramps, so it was probably good for the student athletes. 0 -

So after all of this pickle talk I have been craving Lays' dill pickle chips. Haven't had them in YEARS and suddenly I am stuck with this huge craving. And to those who say pickles and peanut butter sound gross together, I used to think so too. Then one day I decided to make a sandwich because I might as well see what all the fuss is about... and I LIKED it.0

Confession: I've been using my husband being home this week as an excuse not to do any exercise. That's why I haven't sought you all out as Fitbit friends My calories aren't too bad, but I don't think I'll lose any weight this week through inactivity.
Hey no judgement I gained weight this past week and today was going really well until I got home from work whoops
Thanks for the support. Thursday is my 21st wedding anniversary and my goal was to fit back into my dress this year, but I don't think it's looking likely right now.WestCoastJo82 wrote: »Confession: I've been using my husband being home this week as an excuse not to do any exercise.

Maintaining is also winning, in my opinion. Enjoy your husband time!
Regarding the bolded, I can't do that too much. Today was 'V' Day! All went well and he was a brave soldier. I've been nursing him all day and he's pretty cheerful about the whole thing.
Oh wow happy early anniversary!! Such an inspiration when marriages and relationships are successful for so long nowadays!
@Tubbs216 sorry I missed this. Congratulations to you and Mr. Tubbs on 21 incredible years. Here's to many, many more!

I've done the homemade sauna suit and I've never gotten dizzy, light-headed or nearing the point of heat stroke. I drink at least a gallon of water a day and only wear the suit when I walk/job on the treadmill for my cardio days (twice a week).
But as an alternative if you're looking to really sweat try Hot Yoga.... talk about sweating like a dog sheesh!!!0 -

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 have not. Sounds muy excellente! Loooove me some avocado/guac.0 -
