Hugs. I am hoping your tummy feels a lot better!
I had that day yesterday. I ate way too many Pumpkin Spice Latte M&Ms & six Peanut Butter Poptarts.
Must. Have. These.
I'll save you! Send them to me so they are out of temptation range.
Sorry I demolished the rest of the bag that day
. Out of all the recent M&M flavors these are definitely the best.
Today before work I went to Giant & bought a lot of fallish kind of snacks like pumpkin cheesecake cookies, pumpkin spice almonds, & tons of Wild Friends peanut butter packets to try.
I've still been good & haven't bought or ate ice cream since early September.0 -

Can't find - where did you put them?
I was going to do Random Pics but I put them in Pets Pics...since they're of my cats.0 -

Suzie, honey, I ate all of everything yesterday. 20th anniversary of my mom's death. I still can't decide if the hardest thing I have ever said is "My mom didn't want to live.this way, unplug the machines." Or "Nana's gone to heaven.". *HUGS* 0 -

I just don't want to know!
I've decidedthat I prefer my fitbit flex. I can change the wriststrap to match my oufit but the only downside is I have already have 8 and I need at least another 20 different wriststraps. Some of them are so pretty.
That's the one thing I miss about the Flex was changing the band whenever you want.
I think it was @Glinda1971 that said there were more bands on Amazon that had different patterns.
I know I have the purple and I don't even like purple. I would love to be able to change bands!
I like purple, but blue/teal is my favorite color.
The Tory Burch bands for some of the Fitbit products are cute, but not for the money they're charging.
Ditto and ditto.
I was thinking of getting one of the Tory Burch wrap bands for "dressier" occasions, my flex band gets so grubby-looking and I still want to wear it.
I know I've mentioned it before but I absolutely heart Tory Burch so much
Her perfume is my favorite!
Her boots are so cute! If I ever found a pair at TJ's they would be mine (well depending on the price tag haha).0 -

Wallow today - it's allowed. Grief doesn't ever go away, it just sort of abates for awhile to return later. Hugs to you!! Thinking of you today. Grief bacon is okay for a day or two, though, but getting back on track returns to you the control that grief can steal away. More hugs!

My father has been gone since 1991, and I STILL cry every single year on the anniversary......it never goes away, just the super hard times get further apart with time.....I am experiencing that right now with my late best girlfriend. All you can do it allow yourself some time to grieve and then think about the good times Melissa! She is still there with you! Don't ever forget that!0 -

I never forget she is with me. I see her in the mirror and I hear her voice when I talk. Like I said, I have one brother who can live with it. I actually like looking like her now, though it's disconcerting when strangers walk up and ask if I am Ginny's girl. I'll be fine tomorrow. I am feeling better now. It's just hard because even though I was following her instructions, I am the one who told them to do it. Even though she told me to, I expected one of the boys to save me from it - they always tried to save me, but in the end I had to do the hardest thing any of us have ever done.
ETA: I sincerely thank each of you for caring about my 20 year old grief. You are awesome, every one of you.0 -

Oh, dang it, I forgot to try that tonight. In my defense, I was taking "before" pictures for a six-week challenge I signed up for on bodybuilding.com. Pictures, of me, in my smallest swimsuit. And I'm going to put them on the World Wide Web where anyone can see them... (Oh my gosh, what have I done?!?)0 -

I'm so sorry. Grief is its own creature. My daughter called me from my parents ranch where she was spending a few weeks a year and a half ago. She was 15. "Mom, I thought you would want to know, Gigi died a few minutes ago." (Gigi is what we called my grandmother the last decade of her life, GG short for great grandmother but it suited her so well that everyone started calling her that.) Gigi played the mother role for me in ways my mother never has been able to do. I miss her. I miss her very much. You gave your mother the most difficult act of love that you could, to honor her wishes even though it meant saying goodbye and being the one to determine when that was. That is an incredible and touching act of love that you had the strength to do. A huge hug and I'm shedding some tears with you.0 -

Today also starts Raelynn's first day in behavioral therapy. I'm hoping that this helps us, because she desperately needs the help. I feel like I'm losing control of my child, and that's the worst feeling I could feel right now.
I'm feeling that too with my son. Head up, deep breaths. It is a process that takes time and improvements are not linear. She'll do great, then she will revert to some behaviors, then slow improvement, then leaps of improvement. You'll get there!

I must confess that I feel a little crazy and conceited. A month ago, if someone was staring at me, I'd assume that they were lost in thought or there was something wrong with me. Tonight, one of the guys I work with kept looking at me while he was wheeling around patient beds for things like taking them to xray. At first, I didn't think anything of it.. figured I was probably just really close to being in the way. Then he smacked into a computer with a bed. When I looked up because I heard the noise, he was staring at me and paying no attention to the patient or the computer. He gave me a big goofy "oops" grin, and his whole face was bright red. He passed by me several more times throughout the night, and each time he'd stare at me, and when I'd look back his whole face would go red. Honestly, it reminded me a lot of middle school when guys are too shy to talk with the girls and when the girl smiles, the guy giggles and runs away.. The last time he went by me, he asked me where one of the rooms was, even though he has worked there longer than I have, and had just come out of that room about 5 minutes before. Conceited me is pretty sure he thinks I'm pretty awesome to look at. Crazy me thinks I should be wearing baggier pants to keep from having issues like that in the future (I wear size 16/18 right now for my work pants, because I bought them about 20 pounds ago, and can now fit in 12/14... if I go any larger, I'll need suspenders since the belt is having some trouble with the 18s as it is.. hence me feeling nuts)0

Hahaha! I have the same pics of me, but they aren't on the internet. They are on the cloud, but luckily I'm not a celebrity so I don't think anybody will try to hack my pictures.
Good luck with the challenge!0 -
I was thinking of signing up for something like that myself. I just got started with the 30 day beginner set instead. I still need to put up pics there.0

That's a great NSV and don't you dare wear looser clothes. You've worked hard and shouldn't have to hide it.
PS. I hope he didn't make the patient he crashed feel more pain than they may have been feeling already.
ETA I have no idea why my phone is added extra quotes...but I hate it.0 -
I confess that I find it funny that someone is giving my manager's phone number to people calling with questions about their billing statements.0

I hate that. My old office was always freezing. I actually brought a blanket to work and put it on my legs, it was that bad.

Nice!!! I'm still Fitbit-less, but that's ok. I'm currently obsessing over the Garmin Forerunner 225...has HRM w/out needing a strap, built in GPS, good for running.... I wants it! Saving up for that currently. Wish I could join the Fitbit crew, but I don't like the comparable Fitbit version (Charge HR) as much as I like the Garmin. heh
I adore Garmin, I'm trying to justify getting the new one...
Um, you just ran a 1/2 marathon... I think that's justification!!
I say get a sweet Garmin and then we can be Garmin friends when I get mine one day. Ha! 0 -

Laura! How do you like your new Fitbit? You got the Charge HR?
Yep the Charge HR! So far so good! I'm just trying to get used to a different app tracker and how it syncs with MFP is a bit different but I'm so happy to have an activity tracker again I felt so lost without it! It was kind of sad actually because before these came out I never thought about steps or activity during workouts, I just worked out. Now I can't stand working out without it!0 -
When I did my C25K last night, I had my Fitbit and my Polar HR on. So I was all geared up for my run!!0

And then when you do forget to put it on (if you're like me) you throw a minor hissy fit and don't want to do the workout/walk/whatever.0 -

How did the C25K session go? I also have a Polar HR for now! I like it well enough, but the chest strap thing is annoying... well... no... I'm lazy and I forget to put it on and then I feel like my whole workout was worth NOTHING because I don't know how many calories I really burned. Hee hee0
