Confession time for me, it's late and I'm back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off (looking after my Dad while my mum was on holiday) and I'm not looking forward to it. In the last fortnight I have eaten all of the foods, literally, there is now a chocolate and pizza shortage in my home town and it's all my fault.
Also KylerJaye, my boyfriend is 15 years younger than me and we've been together 3 years - if it works at the time for both of you, I see no issue. And I'm sorry for butting in, but I feel like I know you all

*predate update*
Bwahahaha!
Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Last night date dude was 44. Tonight? TWENTY.
It's ok, I have no idea what i'm doing either, but he was really persistent, so I thought. ...what the hell?
I'm currently sitting at the restaurant's bar, waiting for the man child to show up.
Wish me luck! Lol

First date #16
Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.
So....bleh
Seriously! What is wrong with people? And isn't he a little old for you? Not judging, just asking.
LOL, sadly no! He's 44, I'm 34. I am having issues coming to terms with ages no longer being "too old" for me.
Try thinking 50+ men are now your age range. I can't imagine a 20 year old is going to hold your interest. But good luck.
ETA in case I want clear I now have to look at 50+ year old men as my age range.Italian_Buju wrote: »*predate update*

first date #17
ok, let me try this again.... @Italian_Buju i'm 34.
and yes, @LBuehrle8 i totally felt like a cougar!!
give the dude credit, he lives an hour away and was totally like...that doesn't matter! i can't wait to meet you! how adorable.
BUT his profile said he was 21. which, even at that point i'm leery and expecting some type of fraternity hazing experience to be going down. but also to his credit, i was like dude, let go to this bar and he's like i cant, i'm only 20! to which, i was like dude, change your profile! and he was very sweet and apologetic. which was long before we met, so it wasn't quite the pull of the rug that i'm used to.
but still! he's like a sweet innocent baby boy! it was a cute first date, what do you like? i like this stuff! kinda thing...which was fantastic because when we tried to talk about music, he hadn't heard of any of my favs!! and that's when i felt ancient!

I am not much of a sweet tooth. But I am a potato tooth. Is that even a thing? I love potatoes. Right now I'm eating through a second helping of potato bhaji. I am full and I am going to finish this second helping because my mouth is so in love with the browned potato/tumeric/lemon taste. I had curry red lentil and curry cauliflower with them, but the potatoes. MMMM.
Fried, hashed, baked, mashed. I love potatoes.
ETA - I think that is a recipe in the bat cave. I will look and add it if it is not there. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
It is in the Batcave. I changed it up tonight. I used red, white, and purple fingerling potatoes. I boiled them but didn't peel them. I can't have garlic so I always leave that out. (No, I am not a vampire, but garlic makes my joints ache.) As per my normal I didn't actually measure anything but the potatoes tasted fantastic. Daughter agreed.
potatos = love0 -

It's Sunday! A new week! I can do this! I will reach 175 by the end of October. Totally an achievable goal if I stick to my guns.
You got this! When you reach your goal which Fitbit did you want? I confess I had a few bad days with ice cream & even though I know better I only ate a little amount on Friday & tried the do the same Saturday to make up for it. I didn't binge yesterday, but I talked myself into eating a normal amount & getting back to the program.
Good on ya @kellyjellybellyjelly!
I wish I could say I held back on ice cream but I ate 4 servings in one setting. "It was Blue Bell and I couldn't help it" excuse just isn't really working for me.
I have no idea which Fitbit I want. I'm leaning towards the Charge no HRM because I don't feel it necessary. We'll have to wait and see though.
I've never tried Blue Bell. I wonder if any of the stores in the Northeast get it?
You can always use the excuse that it just came back & you wanted to taste test it to make sure it was still tasty.
Let us know which one you end up getting. I had no idea the Fitbit Charge HR posted messages on the display screen until last night when it told me I rocked. Thanks Fitbit for the props.
It gives you props?! OMG!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I think I will definitely take the Fitbit picture suggestion, it's a really great idea!
And I made great choices and moved some stuff around(mostly my body) and I recognized I wasn't drinking enough water. Point being: My dad's awesome stir fry totally fit.

That update was wow. I'm laughing. I had NO idea you were 34. I feel like a baby now at only 26....that doesn't happen often anymore so I'm grateful.
And to top it all off some of you 30's ladies look my age or YOUNGER! I hope I get that lucky.

So, before I catch up on the 17 pages I have missed in the last week (are things slowing down?) I just want to ask, has anyone heard from @noaddedsugarx ? Because I was having a conversation with someone and they said about someone having a fall and she popped into my head because her nan had a fall and banged her head. I know it wasn't good news the last time we heard from her and I just wondered if anyone had news?0

I wondered about her but didn't hear anything in ages. I think it may be quiet today since all the Americans have a bank holiday today.
My confession for the day:
While eating my crunchy honey nut cornflakes for breakfast (bad choices but I tell myself I need the added iron), I came across an inch wide nugget of just the crunchy honey nut part (no cornflakes) all fused together. OMG amazing! So, so bad for you, but I don't care, I ate it. It was the most delicious thing and I feel a little sad I may never find one ever again.0 -
The Canadians have a holiday today as well. I'm going to the Hymer's Fall Fair.
I get to see horses and cows and chickens and pigs and bunnies and goats and sheep and award winning produce and crafts. I love the little country fair.0 -

I am really starting to think my fitbit hates me. It doesn't talk to me. It doesn't tell me I rock.
Your's should tell you that you're SUPER GREAT. I noticed the message after I took it off the charger.0 -

Hi All, I have a major confession to make. I am a stalker! I have been following this thread since day one and reading ALL the comments daily. I even make references to this thread to my boyfriend on a semi regular basis - he has pretty much forced me to post here as he says it's pretty creepy I read but don't engage! ( my apologies for the creepy-ness but I am annoyingly socially awkward)
Anyway, I wanted to post to say thank you to all of you for entertaining me and making me laugh - and sometimes cry - daily. Also for motivating me. Due to the many discussions on beginning weight workouts etc in recent weeks I have been moved to restart this myself. Weights 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks - let's just hope I can keep it up.
To sum up - thanks everyone for being a positive force in my life recently even though you didn't know it ( I'd insert a smiley face here but don't know how!) I shall crawl back under my rock now.....
That's quite an accomplishment. I
this thread dearly, and I haven't been able to keep up daily.
Good job taking up weights, you'll love the results. I found that it quickly became a habit, then an essential part of my routine... now I MISS lifting when I can't do it (like when travelling).
Yup yup yup! I'm away next week. I have a feeling I'm going to be picking up sofas and stuff. Deadlift a small person or a dog...
This made me laugh. I think I need pictures.
The only dog I came across was a 10 month old Huskey, and he wouldn't stay still long enough. Huskeys wriggle A LOT!0 -
So, before I catch up on the 17 pages I have missed in the last week (are things slowing down?) I just want to ask, has anyone heard from @noaddedsugarx ? Because I was having a conversation with someone and they said about someone having a fall and she popped into my head because her nan had a fall and banged her head. I know it wasn't good news the last time we heard from her and I just wondered if anyone had news?
I wondered about her but didn't hear anything in ages. I think it may be quiet today since all the Americans have a bank holiday today.
My confession for the day:
While eating my crunchy honey nut cornflakes for breakfast (bad choices but I tell myself I need the added iron), I came across an inch wide nugget of just the crunchy honey nut part (no cornflakes) all fused together. OMG amazing! So, so bad for you, but I don't care, I ate it. It was the most delicious thing and I feel a little sad I may never find one ever again.
That really made me smile!! I love it when you find a crisp with way too much flavour on.0 -

It's Sunday! A new week! I can do this! I will reach 175 by the end of October. Totally an achievable goal if I stick to my guns.
You got this! When you reach your goal which Fitbit did you want? I confess I had a few bad days with ice cream & even though I know better I only ate a little amount on Friday & tried the do the same Saturday to make up for it. I didn't binge yesterday, but I talked myself into eating a normal amount & getting back to the program.
Good on ya @kellyjellybellyjelly!
I wish I could say I held back on ice cream but I ate 4 servings in one setting. "It was Blue Bell and I couldn't help it" excuse just isn't really working for me.
I have no idea which Fitbit I want. I'm leaning towards the Charge no HRM because I don't feel it necessary. We'll have to wait and see though.
I've never tried Blue Bell. I wonder if any of the stores in the Northeast get it?
You can always use the excuse that it just came back & you wanted to taste test it to make sure it was still tasty.
Let us know which one you end up getting. I had no idea the Fitbit Charge HR posted messages on the display screen until last night when it told me I rocked. Thanks Fitbit for the props.
I am really starting to think my fitbit hates me. It doesn't talk to me. It doesn't tell me I rock.
Your's should tell you that you're SUPER GREAT. I noticed the message after I took it off the charger.
I will stare at it after I take it off the charger next time, but I really don't think it ever has.

Everyone has been fairly active this weekend believe it or not...but we'll see what today brings. I do love those sugary surprises!0 -
*predate update*
Bwahahaha!
Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Last night date dude was 44. Tonight? TWENTY.
It's ok, I have no idea what i'm doing either, but he was really persistent, so I thought. ...what the hell?
I'm currently sitting at the restaurant's bar, waiting for the man child to show up.
Wish me luck! Lol
Hahahaha!! You cougar you!! Good luck let us know how it goes!! xoxopofoster21 wrote: »kellienw335 wrote: »*post date update*
First date #16
Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.
So....bleh
Seriously! What is wrong with people? And isn't he a little old for you? Not judging, just asking.
LOL, sadly no! He's 44, I'm 34. I am having issues coming to terms with ages no longer being "too old" for me.
Try thinking 50+ men are now your age range. I can't imagine a 20 year old is going to hold your interest. But good luck.
ETA in case I want clear I now have to look at 50+ year old men as my age range.Italian_Buju wrote: »*predate update*

Omg! Post date update on the way....
*Impatiently waits*
I dont know if you said before, but how old are you? For comparison......
*post date update*
first date #17
ok, let me try this again.... @Italian_Buju i'm 34.
and yes, @LBuehrle8 i totally felt like a cougar!!
give the dude credit, he lives an hour away and was totally like...that doesn't matter! i can't wait to meet you! how adorable.
BUT his profile said he was 21. which, even at that point i'm leery and expecting some type of fraternity hazing experience to be going down. but also to his credit, i was like dude, let go to this bar and he's like i cant, i'm only 20! to which, i was like dude, change your profile! and he was very sweet and apologetic. which was long before we met, so it wasn't quite the pull of the rug that i'm used to.
but still! he's like a sweet innocent baby boy! it was a cute first date, what do you like? i like this stuff! kinda thing...which was fantastic because when we tried to talk about music, he hadn't heard of any of my favs!! and that's when i felt ancient!
nine inch nails
tori amos
spiritualized
franz ferdinand
rilo kiley
mumford and sons
marilyn manson
NOTHING! lol
so i gave him a stack of my burned cd's to educate himself. lol
punkin....you need these more than i do...LOL
ok, so end of night, i went to do like the sweet kiss goodnight....and he DEVOURED my face! LOL
it was ridiculous, but cute because i know how young he is....
can't imagine anything will come of this, but it was ridiculously adorable
Yeah, might want to stick him in the fun to do something with when bored category, but not the 'dating' category. While I see no problem with younger men and older women, men at 20 are actually still more like boys. I'd wait a few years. 0 -
I am not much of a sweet tooth. But I am a potato tooth. Is that even a thing? I love potatoes. Right now I'm eating through a second helping of potato bhaji. I am full and I am going to finish this second helping because my mouth is so in love with the browned potato/tumeric/lemon taste. I had curry red lentil and curry cauliflower with them, but the potatoes. MMMM.
Fried, hashed, baked, mashed. I love potatoes.
ETA - I think that is a recipe in the bat cave. I will look and add it if it is not there. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
It is in the Batcave. I changed it up tonight. I used red, white, and purple fingerling potatoes. I boiled them but didn't peel them. I can't have garlic so I always leave that out. (No, I am not a vampire, but garlic makes my joints ache.) As per my normal I didn't actually measure anything but the potatoes tasted fantastic. Daughter agreed.
I loved baked potatoes. They are usually my side of choice (and sometimes my meal) when I go out, with just salsa or sauteed mushrooms, etc. I eat the whole thing including the peel.0 -

Not sure which is the right emotion but I feel like every time I come out to my mom's lately there is someone here that I have to entertain. It's my niece so I am glad to see her but her friend unexpectedly came out as well. So I am on entertaining duty. I really just want to relax.
Whine over.
Doesn't sound quite fair
Yeah, and I am glad to see her, but even if she doesn't want to do anything, my personality is that I feel like I should be making sure she gets around, goes to the ocean (I never go to the main beaches out here on my own as I can't stand the crowds), etc. So even if SHE has no expectations, I can't help feeling like I SHOULD be doing it, so therefore I can't just lay on a lounge chair in the yard and read. 0 -
Weight room update.
Daughter joined me in the weight room today. She was a mini-me (and she is a brunet mini me) and did everything that I did. The weight room was just right tonight. There was a BEAUTIFUL early 20's woman going to town on the weights and a fairly attractive guy about the same age working out too. I don't know if they were together or not, I assumed they were. However I noticed daughter take note of pretty woman working out hard on the weights. It makes it seem more acceptable to daughter to see a vibrant young woman hitting the weights hard, but not bulky (daughter worries about that).
This is great news!! I hope she goes with you again!0 -
Great Bonac Foot Race 10K this am... I do this every year. Wish me luck!
I had a killer run yesterday, even though I kept trying to slow it down every mile was mostly faster, and I had several miles at 8:10, 8:11, 8:14, 8:20, 8:44.
I am tired and sore today. So I'll either do great, or I will do terrible today!0 -

I can't believe the thread has been going so long. Confession time for me, it's late and I'm back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off (looking after my Dad while my mum was on holiday) and I'm not looking forward to it. In the last fortnight I have eaten all of the foods, literally, there is now a chocolate and pizza shortage in my home town and it's all my fault.
Also KylerJaye, my boyfriend is 15 years younger than me and we've been together 3 years - if it works at the time for both of you, I see no issue. And I'm sorry for butting in, but I feel like I know you all
Now that you're butting in you have to stay in. We have to get to know.you too. It's only fair.
