I'm learning. I was trying to post dog pictures but I'll post one of my hair. I think I officially have waist length hair finally. I change the length and style quite a bit but I've been enjoying it long so I let it grow. I've never been this long or even close before. Now I'm going in for a trim next week as it has been six months since the last time I had it trimmed. I didn't think it could get this long but it did! I had it in a very short bob in 2011. Edit to add, I didn't have or could not access dog pictures here on this ipad.
confession. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself over my hair growing. I But I have little control over my nails. Brittle and dry and break easily so I have to wear them short.
I guess I could add something weight related. I have maintained a 50+ pound weight loss for more than 12 years.
Lovely hair! I'm hoping when I lose my back fat mine will reach my waist. It only has 4 more inches to reach.
Then I might cut it off and lose ten pounds - I have really thick hair.
Thank you. I don't think I would lose any real weight by cutting my hair - it is very fine and lightweight. That's funny though. Do you get headaches from the weight of your hair? I know some people who cut it because of that.
If I wear it up in a ponytail for too long I do get headaches.
I want to cut it off but I don't want to cut it off at the same time.
I wear a ponytail almost all the time at work for safety. I most enjoy long or very short hair on myself because both take very little daily styling or effort.0 -

Me too!
One time I sobbed (after drinking a bottle of wine) to my boyfriend about how people should never take their loved ones for granted because you never realize how long you have left to spend with them.
Also @Susieq_1994 , although I haven't had it in around 6 years, I too always liked the taste of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter
I would choose it over regular butter, and I know they taste NOTHING alike.
I just came back from a horrible movie. Insidious 3. It felt like they had no ideas, just jotted down a few boring sequences, and made a movie out of it. My boyfriend described it as ''a long fart of a movie.'' So bad!!!

It's basically tiny glass shards that gets under their little exoskeletons and kills them. You can get it at any garden center/Home Depot sort of place.
I like it better than the poison because I don't worry about it getting on me (don't inhale it though, or let your pets inhale it - glass shards in lungs is not good). Last year and this year I had ant problems, put a line of it where it looked like their home was (so they walk through it and take the little shards down into the nest to kill everyone off) and they were gone in a day. I then wash away the powder so I don't have to worry about my dog deciding to sniff it.
This is the best stuff! It is actually not harmful to dogs or people. Only insects or germs? Parasites? I use it on my horses feet to ward off thrush and people feed it to horses. I highly recommend it.
I think that might only be the food grade kind though? I could be wrong, but I believe there are two types, one that is okay for animals and one that is not.

First time thing. Sigh. Oh well.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good weekend!

1) My Wegmans does carry the Halo Top Vanilla, Chocolate, and Lemon Cake. They were ALL sold out (they only got a very small amount in) so I shall have to check back.
2) I PASSED MY EXAM!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!!!
Yeah mine only had vanilla left and not that many of them. Need someone else to try it so I don't feel crazy, people are laughing at me for saying that I like it in the ice cream group!Update on the biopsy, they got the results really fast... and there is no cancer - no concerns! WooHoo! Now time for my weekend to begin.
Awesome! Enjoy your week end!
Confession - proud of myself for sticking to my deficit 5 days in a row. Tonight was the kids' school party and there were food trucks and I didn't even eat anything... while everyone else had pizza and water ice. I had dinner before we went like a good dieting person (and it was delicious, so there).
Still want to punch people who say that I'm using PMS as an excuse to eat more in the face though... because it's funny how I always get so hungry the 10 days before my period every single month, while it's so easy to resist temptation the rest of the time. Sadly it means I probably only have two more weeks tops before it starts again... it might happen during my vacation though and that would really suck, because it's going to be hard to just fill up on veggies then. Really dreading it.
Last confession - husband wants me to start reading with the kids at bedtime with him. I said no. Yes, #momoftheyear again, but frankly, by the time they go to bed I am SO DONE and I'm just going to lose it if I have to do that on top of the rest... Nope, nope, nope. His job. Besides, they're 7, and I really hope they start reading on their own soon.
I think some people have a really hard time realizing that just because something goes a certain way for them doesn't mean it is the same for everybody. They think they're the gold standard and everyone else is exactly the same. It is really frustrating though.

I have a good relationship with my dad and I treasure it. My heart hurts for those missing their fathers as I can't think about that without getting sad.

It is just so good that I can't bring myself to have anything else.
I also confess that I don't mind listening to my son's DJ Shuffle Volume One cd when driving in the car. I actually really enjoy it and sing along to all the songs. I get sad when he wants to switch to a different cd.
What do you eat for breakfast??
454g (2 cups) of Fage 0% plain greek yogurt, 140g frozen strawberries(defrosted for about 30 seconds..so still slightly frozen, but soft), 10g(2 tbsp.) of Hersheys Special Dark Unsweetened Cocoa, and a generous amount of sweetener(I use Stevia) to taste. Mix it all up...A LOT of food, very filling, and only 330 calories.
Sometimes if I'm out of strawberries, I'll use chopped raw apple(about 100g), OR 122g(1/2 cup) of canned pumpkin, and cinnamon in place of the cocoa. Also delicious for the same amount of calories.
Ahh, yeah that does sound really good!
I do a 90-minute work out every morning and it's all I think about...like my reward for getting up at 4:00am and busting my butt. It's like a chocolate pudding with strawberries...and so much of it!
The other ones are good too..like apple pie and pumpkin pie flavored yogurt. Mmmm... now I'm excited for tomorrow morning.
I was on one of those kicks several years ago. But I was doing 90 min. straight cardio sessions on either the treadmill or the elliptical. It was a great stress reliever and I was so physically tired by the end of the day that I slept great! But, for me, I was concerned I was risking an over use injury and was worried that I'd become reliant on that much cardio to maintain my size, so I cut back. Now I do 30 - 40 min. cardio sessions 3 - 4 days per week and lifting is my main source of exercise. I feel better and am really happy to have so much time back in my day, but I do get a little jealous when I see others doing that much.
I'm very shy and would never go to a gym or run outside where people can see me. I also have to work out early in the morning before my son gets up...because my husband is getting ready/going to work. Anyway so yeah, I have to work out at home and always did the treadmill. I never minded it and, as you said, it was a great stress reliever. However, I've now started doing 30 minutes of circuit training(video) and then the remaining time on the treadmill. We have an elliptical too but I almost never use it.
As you mentioned, I do rely on it to maintain my size. I admit that I do cardio/treadmill so much because of all of the stress/emotional eating I've done over the past year and it's the only way I know I can keep myself from gaining a bunch of weight.
Every day when I wake up, I have no clue if I'll end up giving in to a binge and killing my calorie goal by 2000-3000. I am jealous that you slept good though...that's something that I struggle with...which also doesn't help when trying to not gain or give into binges.
Good idea to add in circuit training. But from your picture you clearly have nothing to hide by going to a gym or being seen in public! I used to be that way, though, so I understand. Now? Don't care. I work out in the weight room along with all the young men (I go to the gym early to late afternoon and it seems to be all youngsters) and don't care at all. I just do my thing.
Thanks. I've just always been really shy..especially about people looking at me doing things. Like, I HATED gym class where people would see me trying to do a sport...or doing a presentation in a class. I used to hate walking into restaurants, bars, a party or any crowded place first(I always made someone else walk in in front of me...or I'd get there early). Eating in restaurants, I like to face the direction that has the least amount of people facing me. I'm a little better now...my son makes it easier. He's always with me so he gets most of the attention!
But yeah...I wish I could just not care.
I wish there was a way to teach people how to not care! I feel like it makes life a little bit easier. I'm on the far side of the end of that spectrum haha I have no shame and give no *kitten* Life is too short to worry so much about what others think. I guess it's easier said than done though as my mother says I've been this way since birth haha
Yes, but it can be learned. It took me awhile but most of the time I don't care what people think. Every once in awhile I still do. Maybe one way to start is to validate your feelings and opinions with yourself. You matter.

Soooo tasty. Probably a dangerous recipe to discover, you've been warnedkelly_c_77 wrote: »Wooow... 2000 new comments when I finally get a chance to have a looksie!! Wish I could binge read them all!!
I confess, I feel like an idiot. I started the C25K last week and made it through the first week easily, pushed myself too hard even when it hurt and now my knees are so freaking sore I haven't run in 5 days. I've been a bit emotional lately, I even cried that I can't run yet today.
On the plus side, I've found a super delicious vanilla mug cake recipe Cake makes everything better, right?
Would you mind sharing the recipe??
http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/the-moistest-very-vanilla-mug-cake/
YAY!! Thank you! I can definitely work that into my calories!!! It looks gooooood too! I just wish it didn't have the word "Moist" in the name! I don't care for that word.
Oh- and I appreciate the warning! I hope I don't regret this...0 -

It took me forever to know what NSV & Doms meant.
There are still sometimes that people post something that is slang or abbreviated & I have to look it up on Google.
I know what NSV is after asking what is Doms?

Wouldn't you know it, but I got up around 6:00 A.M. & thought I would walk on the treadmill for an hour. The funniest thing was I checked the time a few times by lifting my iPad & the last time I checked it was at one hour exactly.
I confess that on my Spotify I have 2,400+ songs liked & usually pass half of them.
The weirdest song I exercised to today was Mike & The Mechanics Silent Running.
Why? I love them. I have their album. Yes. Album.
I love the song, but it's not really a great song to keep the beat for walking. I usually try to play the more upbeat songs, but sometimes I need a song to slow the pace down.0 -

@FluffySandwich I watched the same movie today and felt the same! At least it wasn't as terrible as The Woman in Black 2. I mentally checked out of that movie twenty minutes in. It didn't have any creatively scary moments, it just had jump scare after jump scare. You make me glad I didn't go see The Woman in Black 2, because I was thinking about it 
The best part was the cutie dog.
I don't do scary movies solely on the jump out of your seat moments.
As a kid I always jumped out of my skin during Buffy The Vampire Slayer when the vampire jumped through the mirror even though I knew it was coming up.0 -

You & me. I always look on www.theimpulsivebuy.com to see what is new & then get bummed when I can't find it haha.
I went to Target a few weeks ago to look for the new Evol Goat Cheese Ravioli frozen meal & they didn't have it.
I also want to find the new Yoplait Whips Root Beer flavor & the Jif Cookies & Cream Hazelnut flavor.0 -

Oh, I would have loved it so... and truth be told, I likely would have mixed in some Cocoa Krispies, to amp up the chocolate 'vibe', while also throwing in some 'smash-crunch', and slam-dunking a chocolate-milk outcome...
A lot of people want Kelloggs to come back with the Oreo cereal. Maybe they got rid of them so people would buy more cookies?
I want Dunkaroos to come back too.

I hate where I live. Everyone says I should move, but I can't afford it right now. I believe I will be able to move by the beginning of next year and that is my plan

ok Whahooo I did it. It took both an iphone and an ipad to get it to work but it seems like it worked. I am still inept with this but I can learn. Yay!

The dog of unknown origin is 6 or 7 and is our squishy Bruno.

Confession: I miss living in Japan. The culture there is so wonderful. And the people are so much more thoughtful and lovely compared to Americans. I am an American, but other Americans disappoint me a great deal. I don't mean to offend anyone. We could learn so much from other cultures. Where we lived there was ZERO crime. You could sleep with your windows and doors wide open, leave your car unlocked. The mailman would actually come into your house and set your mail inside your house. I could go on and on, but that's just one small example.
Could not agree more.
Me too. I remember watching some docs about prisons over seas and the violence and crap from inmates was nearly non existent because they are actually treated properly. Some of the prisons had swimming pools and all kinds of crap to keep the inmates healthy. Some allow them to house with family members and friends etc. And most had menus and food of that of a five star hotel. I was amazed and thought it was brilliant.
Just wondering? Was it for all inmates or the ones who did petty crimes?
I know you like the ID channel & for all of those who watch it too they're having a special about Ted Bundy on Sunday. I will probably watch it since I have never watched anything based on him before.

This is one of the cases that stuck with me for a long time. It almost seemed like something out of a movie. I couldn't believe the wife wasn't arrested too.
I do believe it was all inmates.....one thing I forgot that is a big one too is that guards are expected to treat the inmates with the utmost respect....and amazingly (sarcastic), the inmates treated the guards the same way.
Treat people like animals, and they will behave as such.....
I was a corrections officer at an all male prison in Virginia for a year and a half before I moved back here to Ohio. I will say I always treated the offenders like the human beings they are and was treated a lot differently then some of the other staff who treated these men like they were dogs. I understand the majority of the men who were incarcerated and I was around all the time committed some incredibly heinous and horrible crimes but I always kept in mind that they've already been judged and now they're serving their sentence it's not my job to judge them. On the flip side I always kept in the back of my mind the horrible crimes they did commit so I didn't get too close to any of them. You'd be surprised how much manipulation can be worked and how smart a lot of those criminals really are!
I am rally surprised by this. You mentioned it once before. How did you end up in that job? I would be terrified.
I majored in criminal justice and psychology in college and have always wanted to work with offenders. At the prison I wanted to be a casework counselor for the offenders but the prison only hires from within so I became an officer instead! I had an interview to be a counselor when I found out my fiancé cheated. No point of staying in VA when my whole family was in OH.0 -
