IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Our group thread 'The Batcave' is now a closed group. After consultation, it's been decided that it would be best to have the group be closed to everyone except members, so that we can all feel safe posting whatever personal stuff we want, pictures etc. We had a number of members who had never posted on the thread but joined the group, and those people have been deleted.
Link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/106593-confession-is-good-for-the-soul
If you want an invitation, please message me, @Susieq_1994 or @Italian_Buju and we'll be happy to add you. If you've been deleted but want to remain a member, let one of us know.
Happy Friday!
You didn't kick me out did you???0 -

No "bait and switch", no lack of follow through, he actually thinks I should do it. One class is a Statistics course and one is on Application Security (computer nerds rule! lol)
Oh and I almost forgot- I have a job booked for this weekend! (Bridal party of 6- I do makeup freelance and I'm super busy in the summer) Bringing snacks with me but I'll be busy until at least 1 pm, I think. Lots of coffee. Gonna try to stay active and get my steps in- you guys are crushing the Fitbit challenge so I gotta step it up! I'm doing well if I get in 12.5k, some of you guys are doing double that and it's so awesome! Wish I could lol
Congratulations on all fronts including supportive hubby!0 -

No shame there! My stepmother-in-law (or "bonus mom" as I like to call her) makes this one great salad we're obsessed with and we're planning to replicate it tonight if I can convince her to tell me how she makes the dressing. It has apples and soft cheese and tons of spinach and tomatoes and some magic dressing I can't pick apart with my palate....
I miiiiiiiiight have been thinking about it since this morning as well.
That sounds amazing. I will never understand how salad got a reputation for being boring or bland!
I love love love salad.
Me, too...I wish people would share more salad recipes!
By the way, I went to Panera yesterday for lunch and had their Fuji Apple Salad...it was delicious! Now I must learn how to recreate it at home...
I have a great Cesar salad recipe from a bon appetite cookbook I keep at my moms. I'll try and remember to copy/post it in 2 weeks for you. I eat salad for lunch every day.0 -

Oh, I've done this many times. LOL No shame.
When you run a race with friends and plan a winery visit after, you have to change somewhere...
I have changed on the street and beach after tris with a towel wrapped around me. In this case in my tiny car with bucket seats I basically stripped. Anyone looking would have gotten an eyeful. Or I would have been arrested.0 -

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!
Nice Job! I just started bike riding again, planning for a triathlon in Sept. Went for a ride with my 6.5 year old son to the library last night when he informed me that he "doesn't ride on ground like this!" (picture a hand thrust out at about a 45 degree angle and an intimidating glare). Apparently the world needs to be flat for him to ride. I told him to get over it, and he spitefully did...
Congrats on the tri!0 -

Ok I've been staying awake to get back to this to personally say congratulations! You are rocking it. I see that century on the horizon!0 -
Random question did we get back on the main forums or into chit chat again? Seem to be a lot of new folks here today?0

@MoHousdon don't worry I knew what puppy chow was- love that stuff I don't know how you managed to stop at three pieces!!
@berlynnwall yayyy I'm happy you're back!!
@rungirl1973 I'm sorry y'all are dealing with that nonsense. I work in child support so it's the kind of junk I see everyday. You can file contempt charges all day but it costs so much each time just for the judge to give the other party a slap on the wrist. I hope things get better you, your SO, and the kids.0 -

We make our party mix with Cheerios and shreddies.
And these are???

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.
This was after the 3 zucchini bars and everything else I had already eaten. I wanted another Rice Krispie Treat, but they were all gone. It was puppy chow or generic Oreos.

How do we get @Italian_Buju to come back?! Also, where has Lois been? @m1xm0d3 thanks for holding it down for the fellas. Glad to see you stuck around.
@ASG_21 nice to put a user name with @susieqshusband. Welcome, Lurky McLurkerson.
I can't believe I forgot the "Mc" part. Thanks for bring that to my attention @Susieq_1994
You guys certainly are a persistent group......
I think I have had enough interaction with you guys in the group since I embarrassed myself that I should be able to just swallow my pride, even if I choke on it a little. However you guys do realize that now I have two weeks worth of posts to catch up on and binge post on things possibly two weeks old, right? This might turn into a case of be careful what you wish for lol.
I do want to say thanks guys. I tried to post a few times but kept stumbling over my words and never knew what to say. Even though I did not read along with this thread, I did check when I had notifications here. You guys rock.
Sorry I got freaked out

@Italian_Buju YAY! Finally! I've been waiting for you to come back! We've missed you bunches over here.
Take your time catching up and reply to whatever you want from whenever you want. Might be good to rehash some old stuff or you might catch something that we missed the first go 'round (It happens).
It's totally okay that you got freaked out, just remember that we are here to support you 100%. No judgement. 0 -

I had to return a product to GNC that seriously was one of the most vilest things I have ever ate in my entire life! I would rather eat Kale with no salad dressing! I bought this peanut butter called Cracked Nut Butter in a Cookie Dough flavor for around $6.99 with my Gold card. I had seen it online & knew it wouldn't be very sweet but I wasn't expecting it to taste like vomit. So if you ever see this product & you like sweet peanut butters or at the very least semi-sweet then avoid this like the plague.
I think you're being unfairly harsh! Who among us doesn't relish not very sweet vomit flavoured anything? I have to say I am severely disappointed in you and we thought this was a no judgement zone!

@rungirl1973, sorry you're going through all that.
@Italian_Buju, Wahooo!!! Welcome back!
I have seen a bunch of different recipes for puppy chow on Pinterest but have never actually tried it. Looks good though.pofoster21 wrote: »
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.
My husband has been racing his whole life and I have been to many races to cheer him on. I have never been one to use a public bathroom or portapotty unless I really can't wait until I'm home. But I absolutely refuse to go at any race event...the bathrooms are so stinky because of everyone trying to take care of the problem before the race. He's also run Boston Marathon and a few other marathons and I've witnessed the "accidents" (not him, but other runners). 0 -

I am still not sure why you feel you have anything to be embarrassed about. But we are very glad to have you back here among ALL the chickens. I'll be catching up right along side you so well have competing binge fests!0 -
Ok folks NJ state triathlon in Mercer County Park today. I have lots of great pictures from the walk I took there last night after picking up my race packet (fighting for my committed steps in the Fitbit challenge) and will a few more tonight. I just have to find the time to upload them and then post!
This is just a sprint so a short race.
The best part? I allow myself a toasted wheat bagel from Dunkin Donuts. The worst part? Getting up this early and getting cracking on a Saturday. Off I go!0 -
@pofoster21 Good luck!!0

@MoHousdon I think shreddies would be similar to wheat chex. This is what they look like:
And yes, I totally took a screenshot from Google.0 -
@rungirl1973 I'm so sorry you and your husband are going through that! How terrible!
I do hope at some point the children realize that their father is not who their mother is portraying him to be.0 -
@Italian_Buju glad you are back! Looking forward to some binge posting from you.0

We'd still be buried no matter where we were. Mfp is telling me the last update on this thread was on July 9.
My guess is either they are lurkers or click on us when we show up under recent.
Welcome new people by the way!0 -
@AngryViking1970 good luck with everything & I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers.
@Italian_Buju glad to see you back & enjoy reading your posts. Has your son got his new bike yet & do you enjoy your new tiling?
@pofoster21 have fun at your race & enjoy your bagel!0 -

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.
Very much agreed! I hope not. I definitely don't want to lose this thread and the friends we have here, so it always makes me sad when people go away.0 -

Neither (that I know of). The lurkers that I kicked out that wanted to join again popped up after getting removed to say hello, on the recommendation of Tubbs, so we could "meet" them. 0 -
