Did you think we wouldn't notice??I feel ill now from my food intake so far today.
What I've had:
3 zucchini bars with cream cheese frosting (not logged in my diary
)
1 Rice Krispie Treat
1 serving of Ruffles potato chips with French onion dip (one of my most favoritest snacks)
1 cup of diced watermelon (no, I did not learn my lesson from my personal watermelon the other night)
1 bite of a subpar donut (threw the rest in the garbage)
6 baby carrots
3 small florets of cauliflower
1 serving of ranch dip
1 24 oz. venti Starbucks black sweet tea (my new summer obsession)
1 peanut butter supreme Quest Bar
4 tortilla rollups
3 pieces of puppy chow
40 oz. water
I was wondering the same thing. I mean... a girl's gotta have her protein, but this seems extreme. @MoHousdon - stop stealing your dog's food. Or taking dares at work.
Do you all seriously NOT know what puppy chow is?! It's Chex cereal with powdered sugar, peanut butter, and melted chocolate chips. I don't make a habit of eating puppy food. I only did that when I was 5 and my brother made me.
Hahaha - I honestly didn't know what puppy chow was. Now that I do, I want some. Also, I'm totally impressed at your restraint in only eating 3 pieces of it!! Well done, @MoHousdon !! But seriously, fill your pockets up with that and bring some to me, please.0 -
Thanks! Is it that bad in Portland? Isn't that THE or close to the most bike friendly cities in the US? I mean I am sure there are plenty of idiots there like everywhere else. I totally understand your reluctance though, it's not for everyone. I am just stubborn.
Portland is allegedly one of the bike-friendliest towns I hear. But I'm kind of a wuss and am overly cautious, so I don't know that I'd ever really feel comfortable commuting that way. I mean, if I have to be actively worried about dying every second of my commute, I think the anxiety alone would make me miserable. But I envy all those cyclists with the dedication and courage to just go out and DO it!! Much respect.0 -
Went to the gym this morning...and got McDonald's for breakfast on the way home. I have no idea why other than I didn't want to make an omelette when I got home like I was supposed to. Oh well.
I am also going to make those chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars that were posted earlier (I lurk like a creep a lot because I'm in Australia and all the interesting conversation happens when it's night here). Thanks for providing my dessert inspiration for tonight's dinner party!0 -

My jaw just hit the floor. I want. Although I would probably switch the Reese's and Twix for something else.
I dare not click that link knowing only bad things will ensue soon after!

Scrambled eggs and bacon platter. Insanely healthy, considering their other options...

CONFESSION: My BPD is driving me nuts and almost drove my marriage to extinction. And now I feel like I'm losing friends and that I've been abandoned by people. I binged on some beef jerky and Quest Bars. At least it wasn't a Blizzard from DQ.0

5 for 5 commuting by bike to work this week makes me a happy camper. Thanks, Mother Nature! (I say this on the cusp of a week long heat wave forecasted to start tomorrow).
NSV.... my 2,000 mile goal for 2015 was just passed yesterday, a full 5 months ahead of plan which also gave me 5,000+ miles total since I started recording rides summer 2013. Nice milestone there.
Happy Friday friends!
This is FANTASTIC!! Congrats!! What an accomplishment! I will confess that I'm too chicken to try to commute to work on my bike. It would involve riding over a couple of bridges and along some very non-bike-friendly roads. I'm a "stick to the bike path" kind of girl because of witnessing the idiocy of the bike/car interactions here in the Portland, OR area. Eep.
Happy Friday to you, too, and keep up the great work!!!
Thanks! Is it that bad in Portland? Isn't that THE or close to the most bike friendly cities in the US? I mean I am sure there are plenty of idiots there like everywhere else. I totally understand your reluctance though, it's not for everyone. I am just stubborn.
I bike commuted (a fairly short distance) in Los Angeles in the 1990s because I was raised in Portland Oregon's bike culture. I biked everywhere in Portland for years - even going to Vancouver from downtown Portland. My dad bike commuted in Portland in the 1980's. I gave away a vehicle and bike commuted all through grad school in Tucson. Portland and Tucson are bike friendly. Los Angeles in the 1990's was not. However, the worst car/bike accident I ever saw was in Portland Oregon and it was both the driver running a red light and the biker not seeing the intersection before entering it. The driver of course was at fault but the cyclist coming up very fast as the light changed and didn't notice that NONE of the cars had started to enter the intersection as we all saw the car not slowing down at all was going to run the red light. Bike going at 20+ mph t-boned car going 35-45 mph. That said. I would absolutely bike commute in Portland again, or Tucson. Not sure about Los Angeles. I'd have to check it out.
ETA: I also had friends who regularly biked at age 15 - 16 from Beaverton to NW Portland. It can be done IF it is a goal of yours but if it is a goal of yours I'd join some beginner group rides to gain confidence in riding on the road. Hugs and enjoy Portland. I'd still live there if not for the 9 months of gray that sucked the very soul from my body. Year after Year. I love it most in July, August, September, but now I think 70 degrees is sweater weather so I only come for visits.
. I lived in Aloha in late grade and middle school and I lived in the inner SE district at the edge of Ladd's Addition in high school and then moved back again as an adult for 7 years. Great town. But bike there only if it appeals to you.

+1 for the movie. A Christmas Story is my alltime favorite. Luckily I work at a children's hospital so I can get away with playing it at Christmastime!!! I am also fluent in the above list!!
My family watches A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation together every year!
I had never seen A Christmas Story. SO had my kids and I watch it with him last Christmas. Fun movie. 0 -

Yay! There are even walks and runs for people with dogs. And ones where you can dress up as fun things. They aren't all 'serious' runs! Go for it!
I am doing a 5K on July 25 that's called Dashing Divas (it was supposed to be a fun thing to do with coworkers, but I'm the only one that signed up). From my understanding people can wear tiaras & feather boas and you get a sparkly pink finisher's medal. I'm not sure I'm going to dress up at all, but I am excited about the medal!
My sister ran a 5k with her Black Lab Maggie & they were the first to cross the finish line & Maggie got her own medal:).
Aww! Yay for Maggie!! (and your sister)

So, hubby has seen his daughter 3 times since last September and guess what? Baby momma was a no-show at the court ordered meeting point again today. I give up. She turned the son against us, we haven't seen him since March 2014.0

In school, starting around 6th grade, I had trouble with falling asleep in class. I didn't want to and struggled like mad to stay awake. It was embarrassing waking up (sometimes with a jolt) and having people stare at me, especially since I am a sleep talker and wondered if I had said something aloud
. Some people try to fall asleep in class and don't care, but I was trying to be a good student
EDIT: Come to think of it, I don't think I've beeen eating much iron lately.
In high school we had silent reading at the beginning of second period. I love reading, but sitting still in that much quiet killed me every time, and I was out like a light. Luckily, my teacher for that period was the best teacher ever, and he looked the other way until reading time was over.
Definitely get your vitamins, it makes a huge difference when you're deficient!0 -

I'm sorry to hear it. Divorces can get so nasty and some exes hold the worst grudges. My mother once knew a woman who was similar to your husband's ex--the husband wasn't a bad person, but she hated him because they were divorced and refused to let him see his children at all. It's just a horrible situation for everyone involved, honestly. I'm sure it must upset your husband. 0 -

I couldn't have biscuits in the house. SO had to give up buying them in support because even if they were hidden I'd find them. Dam it, I'd smell them out and one or two was never enough. They're literally my cryptonite. It actually got to the point once where I knew that it took three quarters of a specific pack to drink a cup of tea by ONLY dunking biscuits. I had to ween off of them, and ever since, and we're talking about a year ago, I'm still a little too drawn to them to be comfortable!kelly_c_77 wrote: »Yay for @MoHousdon!!!

Also- I am in the jeans, tshirts, and tank tops group. I don't dress up unless I have to...which is like, almost never.

I just got back from there with a Lyme disease diagnosis and a month's supply of doxycycline as my parting gift. Woo! That's what I get for living in the woods, I guess. LOL
Oh I am sorry about this. I have known people and horses who have had it really bad. Make sure you are very aggressive in treating it. Good luck!0 -

The son is 16.
We fought and fought in court, have spent a TON of money on our lawyer. That's how we came up with the court ordered schedule and meeting place we have (we moved 200 miles away from them, so the visiting times are not as frequent as before), which she continues to ignore anyway. She's in contempt of court, but it would be several thousand more dollars to go back and forth in court to get her cited for it and then she still wouldn't show up for the meeting times, and we'd be back at square one. She thinks she is above the law, apparently, and I'm tired of fighting it. The daughter decided last month not to come and went to New Mexico to visit her grandparents instead. We could have seen her another weekend, but weren't given the option. I'm tired of fighting this, but I'll do whatever he wants to do...

@ASG_21 nice to put a user name with @susieqshusband. Welcome, Lurky Lurkerson.
Lois seems to have disappeared, along with a few other regulars, unfortunately.
Yup, I keep wondering where Lois got to. A lot of people seem to have given up on our thread, sadly.
I know! I think it became overwhelming for them. Which is sad...I think this is the best thread and can't be bothered to go elsewhere. I always eventually catch up. I will check out the bat cave this weekend there seems to be a lot of posts in there now. I check the Fitbit for my motivation daily. And usually the random pictures. I hope we never implode I do think of you guys as friends now. I don't want to lose this ecosystem we have built.0 -
I'm with you. Slice of something delicious + a couple of diet Cokes > a few drinks.Cheesecake, Brownies, Cookies, Pie, Cake, Donuts these are all very important words in my language! I am so craving sweets right now, but I am trying to be strong and save some calories today since we have a family reunion tomorrow - where all the foods will be eaten.
I'm with you @bkhamill ! My husband scheduled us to meet a friend of his for happy hour tonight. I'm thinking I'll skip the alcohol and have a slice of pie or something instead. (I don't like drinking calories....they add up too quickly and are never nearly as satisfying as a delicious dessert that fits into my daily calories!)
I love my wine. However wine often leads to eating cheesecake. So not good for the diet. I am doing much better on not drinking thanks to you guys and my daily commitments. So...thanks!0 -
GUYSGUYSGUYS!!!! After almost 2 weeks, I'm FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON THIS THREAD!!! I'm happier about this than you can possibly imagine. Members of the batcave know why.
I still have not gotten around to posting any vacation pictures (anywhere) but I'm hoping to get to that soon. I have to airplane window shots that are really cool and I can't wait for you all to see them, and the beach we went to was just beautiful. I also have some pics of Mr. Mo and I that I plan on sharing in the random pictures thread in the batcave. I missed you all so incredibly much and I'm glad to be back.
Woo hoo! Congrats!0 -

Today, I am tempting fate. I ordered a chili-cheese baked potato for lunch even though I am wearing white pants and a black and white top.
Hehehe! Good luck tempting fate
I win!!! No chili or.cheese on my clothes!!!
You realize, of course, that you'll now spill something like.... coffee/tea/water on your pants juuuuust as you're thinking the threat has passed....
I remember when I was in Elementary school I had to wear my babysitter's shoes to school since I somehow forgot to put some on before leaving the house. She was probably 50-60 at the time & maybe a size 9-10 & I am sure it looked like I was wearing clown shoes.
I've been nearly leaving the house in my slippers most days for the past few weeks. So far I've only ever gotten as far as the car before I realise (I usually only take one step out the front door) so it's not too bad. It feels as though it's only a matter of time before I drive to work in my slippers though.
I've totally done this...had to turn around and go home to change.
I totally keep a pair of black pumps at my desk and have worn my waterproof hiking sandals to the office everyday this week. No shame.
I just counted, and I have 11 pairs of shoes under my desk in my office, not counting the running shoes I came to work in. I think it's a really common thing to do in less-than-ideal climates like mine (where I have to wear Sorel boots to work half the year if I don't want to freeze to death) so definitely no shame!
I walk 20-30 minutes to work every day depending on traffic lights and I am NOT doing it in heels, even in summer.
I wish I lived in a place where I could walk to work. Although, I'm always late so I take the parking lot closest to my suite in the building. I really should park at the end of the parking lot on the other side of the building and walk from there.
I started doing this yesterday (I have a "spot" 3 stalls away from the main entrance that I usually park in) in hope of getting my step count up and just to increase my movement throughout the day. I had 4 people today and 1 person today, ask me I'm parking out there. My office neighbor was a dick about it and asked if I'm trying to work on my tan. Jerk.
Even with all that extra walking, and shopping last night with my best girl, and I still barely hit 5000 steps. How in the world are you people hitting 12000 plus a day?!
I know I have mentioned this before but I started parking in the farthest corner of the visitor parking lot when I started taking steps in October. That adds 2000 steps there and back. Then I make 3 trips to the cafeteria each day. Now I have started deliberately leaving things in the car so I have to walk out to the parking lot again. It all helps.0 -

@xLoveLikeWinterx Congrats on getting into the MS program!! Your classes actually sound interesting. I am interested in learning how to program/code but not sure how to go about that what with the monstrosity of student loan debt I already have with my MS in Educational Leadership. Hee hee I want to LEARN ALL THE THINGS. Actually, I do. I love school, especially grad school. If I could manage to take classes about all the things I'm interested in forever, I would do that and never have a boring "real" job.
THIS is so me! I love to learn. And going to school. Maybe not my dissertation at the moment. ..0 -
Haha! My local Superstore is well-stocked and pretty civilized - nobody has ever tried to pick me up there! Although there is an odd smell around the meat department which makes me prefer buying my meat elsewhere.I found my new favorite dessert last night. Something awesome enough to keep the Talenti troll away. I've had the blueberry ones before and they are awesome but I loooove me some cold lemon flavor.
@ 80 cals a bar I'm sold. I ate 3 last night!
I was momentarily jealous until I realized we have these:
and these:
The vanilla ones are decent but the caramel ones are truly awesome.
Those are SO GOOD. I hate shopping at Superstore but I do like a lot of the PC products (and the points! I've gotten almost $400 in free groceries since that program started.) But the one closest to me is often like shopping in Soviet Russia with empty shelves and stuff and there's always groups of men trying to pick up women at the grocery store there, it is kind of bizarre. I was getting live lobster there a couple months ago and an Italian guy sincerely tried to invite himself home with me while I was standing in front of the tank. Just, like...inner-city weirdos, I guess, because my friends who shop there too seem to all have the same issues. It's the one thing I miss about living in suburbia, because my old Superstore was clean, stocked, and full of nice housewives in salwar kameez who were polite with their carts and didn't let their children run screaming up and down the aisles.
I, like Susie, enjoy grocery shopping, so it's a total buzzkill to do it at such a frustrating store.
My nearby one is in a pretty shady area just outside the downtown proper, so it's...just not ideal. Sad stuff like homeless people buying mouthwash and that kind of thing too, but the lobster story is at least funny so I stick with that when I'm complaining about the place, usually.rungirl1973 wrote: »MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »TigerNY128 wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »

Being able to walk is nice, but sometimes I'd like to have an excuse to drive when it's forty below, haha. But parking in my office tower is $50/day if you don't have a monthly pass (which is...similarly obscene) so I only do it when I have to bring something large home and can expense it.
$50 A DAY? That is more than Manhattan! That is NUTS!0 -
Not just pee. Have you not seen the photos? Google 'runner's diarrhea'.pofoster21 wrote: »
I can honestly say I have never peed in a shower/pool/ocean. I will admit that I've tried, but my body just won't let it happen lol.
Me neither. I remember having major surgery when I was 19 and the first night I was given a bedpan to pee in... even though my bladder was close to bursting, it took a LOT of effort to pee while sitting in bed.
Aaaaand... four days later, I'm finally caught up!
Yay for being caught up! In triathlon people go to the bathroom in their wetsuit and on the bike. While under extreme duress I can go in my wetsuit now (but not while swimming) I refuse to go on the bike (I think that is beyond disgusting and since I am not fast I see no reason not to stop at a portapotty on course). They even go while running...no way could I do that.
People just pee all over themselves?! That is nasty.
*Not for the squeamish.
Is that from all the protein bars with extra fiber?! If that is a side effect of running, I'm glad I don't do it.
This happens a lot in marathons. People get so exhausted their muscles just give out. I have seen it it is nasty. I always feel bad for people when this happens. Luckily I rarely have to"go" running. And before longer races I make sure I take care of this. 0 -
