I can't believe I shared that.
I have done that too!!! haha
I'd also like to confess I just finished my 3rd beer and I'm ready for another one. It will be the 3rd time I have had alcohol this year. I knew I should have just bought singles but the lovely craft ones only come in a box. What's a girl to do? No way I'm pouring water in them and throwing them out. lol
No judgement.0 -
Ha, thanks. That's why I love this thread

Given my current week and my terrible eating habits, I'm going to give up chips and chocolate for lent. I'm not Catholic, but I like to follow some of their practices, because they make sense to me.
I had a really rough day yesterday and I'm wondering if a lot of it has to do with the no running thing. I know I'm a happier person when I am able to get my running in, treadmill walking doesn't cut it. I ordered new walking boots, and I'm hoping they come asap so I can take my walking outside. I think that might help a ton.
I really think you should try the pool running.
I googled it, and I did one of the suggested beginner programs. It was interesting for sure. It just doesn't replace the mind clearing that I get when running, I have to think too much. It may be different after the first time.
Interesting. I have never tried it but I know people who swear by it.... Why do you need to think?
Everything I googled stressed that pool running wasn't just running in the water, you had to pay attention to your posture, and your movements, and all that, and it was to be done in water where you can't touch, so its totally 0 impact, then moving to shallower, and shallower water as you are allowed (I'm guessing as per drs since it was stressed as something to do when dealing with injury). Too much thinking. I don't think when I run other than the usual "is there a car coming?" at crossings. Other than that I usually use that 1-2 hours that I run as a brain dump basically. Makes me far less stressed. Treadmill walking isn't the same. I also think the loss of "outside" time is to blame too.
Who knew? Well enjoy trail walking! I have a half marathon trail race tomorrow. It will be my first trail race. In the snow! I am looking forward to it!
Have fun! Trail running is fun. Last winter I did trail running with snow shoes. I hope your race goes well tomorrow.
Thanks! I'll recap tomorrow!0 -

I don't care about the football, but would watch the ads, and the half time show, if it was any good! This year did not sound good at all. Last year was great.....my fave one in recent years was The Who!
Me too Nicole!! The Who was awesome!!0 -

No judgement, cream cheese frosting is one of the most delicious things on earth IMO.
I ate a whole bag of white chocolate morsels the other day.
Today I am officially kicking my butt back into gear!
For Lent this year I have made up my mind & will
1. Give up eating ice cream (I still want to try the Target Cake My Day. If I find it I'll use it as a reward & eat it the day after Lent)
2. Not buy more processed snacks (I have a ton of protein bars, protein cookies, & ingredients to make my own snacks. There's no excuse).
I was going to say give up soda too, but I need my Diet Mountain Dew to get through my workday.
I've only just found out Lent starts next week. I always give up crisps & chocolate. Going to have to find a way to fit them into my calories for the next 5 days before I have to wave them goodbye!
I was going to give up wine too,but I don't want to push myself too far...
Good luck! I tried to give up chocolate for Lent once (not Catholic, just talked into it by a co-worker). Lent is LONG!!!
I haven't given up anything for lent in years. Should we do a lent challenge?
I will give up coffee and alcohol.
Huh. Think you'll be able to make it, @MoHousdon?
I'll give up alcohol and Cadbury mini eggs. Oh, wait...
I don't know. The alcohol is looking more and more appealing with each passing day. We're having a company get together tomorrow at a hockey game (the owners of the stadium are treating us to their box) and they are providing a bunch of free food (my favorite of all foods) and drinks. If alcoholic drinks are included, I might just have to have 1. If they're not included, I will stick with my love, DP.
Please don't judge my diary tomorrow.
I'm going to judge it hard and send you messages about it just to be a *kitten*
LOL burlz! you're the bestest!
Thanks love you too

I think that's the consensus from most people I know! Screw it, I just enjoy the socializing and food part

Hi
I decided to try running for 3 miles without stopping today to get ready for the 5K
This is what I did
Got home and showed hubby
He smiled and told me he had signed up for the prediction race and guessed 35 minutes.
I'm super excited about this because I haven't run more that a mile strait without stopping before.
Nice pace!! I am still getting myself comfortable with getting under 14 min/mile. I am a very slow runner. Herd of turtles in peanut butter and all that....

Thanks! I did buy some peppermint horse cookies but didn't know about whether it was ok to feed them, so I wanted to check. I do know how to do it though, because I used to ride when I was young (fell and broke my wrist really badly when I was 12 and never rode much again after that). I'll take some pics next time I'm out. They all seem to be very friendly and interested - they all come and say hi, and follow us around.Patricia, thank you for the Valentine card! How sweet you are x x
Also, I need to ask you about feeding horses treats. Is there an etiquette to it? There are 8 horses who live on Batcave Acres at the moment, and I would love to give them treats, but I wondered if it's a no-no unless the owner has specifically approved it? (A bit like how most parents wouldn't be ok with someone randomly giving their kid candy..?) Thoughts?
I would ask the owner. But typically carrots or apples are fine but you should ask just to be polite. Or peppermints! Some horses bite so you want to be sure you get a sense of the horses. Also make sure you hold your hand completely flat they will then just pick it up off your hand. People make the mistake of wrapping their fingers around the food so the horses accidentally bite them.
A lot of owners discourage hand feeding because it can lead to biting behavior or the horses being pushy or rude. Which you don't want to teach them.
You'll have to take pictures and post or send them to me. I can't wait to see them!
Good luck with your race today!

My car failed to show up in Newark so here I sit.....
Oh no! Hope it comes soonSon is on the mend. His ear stopped bleeding. Infection is decreasing and only ear canal was damaged. He didn't puncture his ear drum.
Good, glad your son is feeling better and his ear drum is ok0 -

Thank-you Nonoelmo Crosbylee, Peleroja, and Patricia, about the 5K It was a big surprise for me. Kinda like getting candy at the end of the day as a reward for being good.
Patricia, How did the race go?
Kelly_c Ha! Funny there was several times I saw things yesterday that I thought of the game too.
Myles, I wish you could be able to run again too, I know what you mean about being able to relax and clear your mind when out running. It does that for mede too. I have done water aerobics before but it is much more social. It also can be as strong or light as you make it. I have never tried water running like you describe, it sounds hard especially in the deep end. Do you do it alone or in a group?

Kelly Thank you too about the 5K0

Halloween candy?
You could always take the leftovers to work & put it in the break room.
I confess I've ate like a fat pig the past two days (Saturday/Sunday) & have gained a crazy amount of water weight. I'm mad at myself, but will get back to it today.
I still think one of my biggest triggers is eating too early in the morning. I think I'm going to start eating around 11:00 AM for my first meal (the time might fluctuate based off my work schedule) & then eat my later meal around 7-8 at night. This way I figure I can cut down on mindless snacking & at the same time include mini snacks with my main meals.
My trigger is vacation. I was off the last two days and ate so bad.
I'm going to be up about 5 lbs again!
I've been on vacation the past week, and I did the same thing. Total pig out city! I should be better once I go back to work.
Kellyjelly and Froggy, you both had time off from work and birthdays to celebrate. You had reasons to eat delicious things. Back to work, back on track. You've both got this!
1000 calorie pb&j sandwich sounds amazing.
I'm so sorry I missed your birthdays. I hope you had a great time. 0
