Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))
Replies

So for those folks who could care less about my narcisstic (why is this saying its spelled wrong?) post about my trip to England ignore the below....
So Nicci and I are starting to frame this up...
Saturday I fly into London.
Sunday run in Hyde Park, breakfast, site seeing
Monday drive to Bath and stay in an amazing hotel (like 40% off this great hotel/spa with gorgeous grounds!)
Tuesday drive to Stonehenge and then Devon, stay Wed in Devon and meet CHARLIE!
Wed Devon
Thursday back to London early so Nicci can rest/work and I can sight see
Early drive to Scotland and settle into a little house by a Loch and get checked into our climb
Saturday rest and be leisurely til night for climb up Ben Nevis
CLIMB BEN NEVIS!
Sunday rest or go hiking
Monday drive to Edinburgh where Nicci will drop me off and head back to London. I will probably rent a car, stay in Edinburgh Monday and perhaps Tuesday
Possibly go to Loch Ness (just to say I've been) and Isle of Skye but still figuring out my itinerary
Then Wed/Thursday leisurely drive back to London (well its a long way maybe not so leisurely). Need to map this out and figure out hotel/town/drive or train this part... the driving in a strange country on the wrong side of the rode is part intimidation and part exhileration...especially as I'll be solo).
Thursday in London sometime
Friday my flight is at 6 pm so maybe some last minute sight seeing and then back to airport for 6 pm flight home.
This is going to be an amazing trip. THANK YOU NICCI for being so accommodating. In return, even if you are half dead, I am going to physically drag your protesting carcass up that mountain at night if you even THINK about not making it this time.... We are going to watch that sunrise from the top of that mountain!!!!!
I love all of this!0 -

I have that. I swear by that for a cold. Usually peppermint tea knocks a headache right out for me. No luck today. I ended up leaving work at 10:30 because my vision was getting blurred in the right eye. I cam home went to sleep, felt better but it's blurring again as I try to read. This is a post-concussion headache from an almost 40 year old brain injury. I took a piece of broken curb to the temple and was comatose for a day and a half. ( bike wreck) a few weeks ago, I hit my head on a door frame because I leaned over to pick something up off the floor and had a back spasm. It hurt for most of a day and I have known ever since that this would come. I don't think I recall it ever starting with feeling so cold before. That's something I will have to watch out for and see if it's a fluke or a new sign of imminent pain. Off here to rest my eyes guys. Love you all for caring.
Oh please take care of yourself. When I am feeling sick and want a hot drink Traditionally medicals has a Gypsy cold care tea that is very tasty and makes me feel better. It helps a stuffy nose too.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »I should have stayed home today. I woke up freezing and feeling blah. Now I am freezing and feel like there's an ice pick n my right temple.

Take care of yourself! Head injuries are no joke! Check back in after you wake up so I know you are ok!0 -

I didn't go back to sleep this afternoon, just stopped reading. I know it's no joke. I didn't go to PE or the playground my whole second grade year. I didn't play any sports or ride a bike again until I was 10. I was left handed the day I hit my head and right handed after, although I have learned to use my left hand again. I have known since I was seven that my life is terribly fragile. I never played competitive soccer again - no heading the ball. Head injuries are no joke, indeed.0 -

I can't believe I shared that.
Its funny you say this because sometimes, i will have weak moments when i buy things i should not eat. so i put it in water, because if i just toss it, i will get it out and eat it. LOL.
-_-
I actually did that with cheesecake the other week
.
I ate almost all of the cheesecake in one sitting & threw the rest in a plastic zip close bag in the trash. Awhile later I took it out of the trash & ate the rest haha.
So embarrassing to actually confess that one LOL!
You must have semi thought you would do that our you wouldn't have put it in a plastic bag.
True haha.
Today I didn't exercise for Lent, but I am still counting it since I pushed carts at work for around 10-15 minutes.
I still haven't bought any processed snacks or had ice cream. It is getting harder now that the Easter candy is starting to appear, but I will stay strong & not buy any.
I have been doing good the last few days. I hope I can keep it up when I get home!
You would be proud of me today considering what I gave up for Lent!
The struggle was real.
I walked down our store's Easter Candy aisle & salivated over all of the Easter Candy (not literally of course). I picked up a package of the Mini Cadbury Eggs & sniffed their chocolate goodness. Thank God no one saw me do that or that would be quite embarrassing. I didn't buy a damn thing
. The Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses & M&M Sundae flavor looked good.
I then went to Giant & only bought 2 Pineapple Cottage Cheese & a frozen Evol meal I've wanted to try forever. No processed snack/junk foods were bought.
You should've seen me at the ice cream aisle. I probably stood their five minutes staring at all of the new flavors! I know where I am going after Lent is over. So many new brands & flavors.
Yay! Now...do me a favor don't undo everything the day after easter. Learn new good habits.
Yeah after Lent I am only buying one or two ice creams & then finishing them & then buying more. I am not going to hoard food/snacks like I did before since all the choices can be overwhelming when you're looking for a snack in the cupboard.
Yes but maybe buy 1 a week and make that treat day? Or 2 days a week?
Most of the ice creams/gelatos I buy are pints that are around (four servings per container).0 -

That's why I have a "supplements" section in my food diary. Also, I always take my vitamins/supps before bed.
I usually put it in my first meal slot & then either forget to take it or can't remember if I did (usually I do take it).0 -

Yea Kelly that took ALOT of will power. I don't know how you did it. I would have to avoid those isles because things just jump into my cart.
That's what usually happens to me! Those evil grocery fairies that follow you around the store & knock in the good treats.
I noticed I used the wrong there in my original post *smacks head*
The Pineapple Cottage Cheese was really good! I might have to go back & pick up a few more of those.
Tomorrow I am planning on using up some of my Cashew milk, Dole Frozen Cherries, & two tablespoons of Hershey's Cocoa Powder, & 8 grams of Xanthan Gum to make a smoothie.0 -

I love frozen blueberries sprinkled with Stevia or sweet n low and then Cashew milk poured over them. Just stir it around a bit and the milk starts to freeze over the berries. I just eat it out of the bowl with a spoon. I use strawberries instead of blueberries sometimes too and add the cocoa.0 -

That's what I'll probably end up doing.
I'm not sure I'll buy any Easter Candy to be honest. I might buy a package of Peeps to roast on a campfire, but none of the candies have really called out to me. The only Easter Candy I might buy a few of are the Russell Stover Eggs.
The only new food item that's not ice cream that I might try once Lent is over is the new Oreos that are supposed to taste like a cupcake. I wish Oreos would come out with sample size packs of all the new flavors that way you don't have to buy a whole pack.
I made sure I squeezed in a workout today even though I didn't feel like doing one. Just Dance for the win! My three year old niece even tried to dance. It was funny/cute.0 -

I just remembered I have a few cases left of the Diet Cream soda that I could put in the freeze for a few minutes to get a zero calorie ice cream like treat.0 -
I've been sad all the time lately for no reason. I'm going to see my favorite band with my girlfriend tomorrow. How could I not be happy and excited right now? :x blah.
Also, my confession is that I ate an entire bag of popcorn today.0 -

( bike wreck) a few weeks ago, I hit my head on a door frame because I leaned over to pick something up off the floor and had a back spasm. It hurt for most of a day and I have known ever since that this would come. I don't think I recall it ever starting with feeling so cold before. That's something I will have to watch out for and see if it's a fluke or a new sign of imminent pain. Off here to rest my eyes guys. Love you all for caring.
Oh please take care of yourself. When I am feeling sick and want a hot drink Traditionally medicals has a Gypsy cold care tea that is very tasty and makes me feel better. It helps a stuffy nose too.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »I should have stayed home today. I woke up freezing and feeling blah. Now I am freezing and feel like there's an ice pick n my right temple. I had Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate for breakfast in an effort to get warm. It worked for about 45 minutes, sort of. Ugh...3:30 can't get here soon enough.
If this keeps up please see a doctor0 -

Also, my confession is that I ate an entire bag of popcorn today.
Maybe it's just the weather. Spring is coming! I hope you have wonderful time tonight!0 -

I can't believe I shared that.
Its funny you say this because sometimes, i will have weak moments when i buy things i should not eat. so i put it in water, because if i just toss it, i will get it out and eat it. LOL.
-_-
I actually did that with cheesecake the other week.
I ate almost all of the cheesecake in one sitting & threw the rest in a plastic zip close bag in the trash. Awhile later I took it out of the trash & ate the rest haha.
So embarrassing to actually confess that one LOL!
You must have semi thought you would do that our you wouldn't have put it in a plastic bag.
True haha.
Today I didn't exercise for Lent, but I am still counting it since I pushed carts at work for around 10-15 minutes.
I still haven't bought any processed snacks or had ice cream. It is getting harder now that the Easter candy is starting to appear, but I will stay strong & not buy any.
I have been doing good the last few days. I hope I can keep it up when I get home!
You would be proud of me today considering what I gave up for Lent!
The struggle was real.
I walked down our store's Easter Candy aisle & salivated over all of the Easter Candy (not literally of course). I picked up a package of the Mini Cadbury Eggs & sniffed their chocolate goodness. Thank God no one saw me do that or that would be quite embarrassing. I didn't buy a damn thing. The Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses & M&M Sundae flavor looked good.
I then went to Giant & only bought 2 Pineapple Cottage Cheese & a frozen Evol meal I've wanted to try forever. No processed snack/junk foods were bought.
You should've seen me at the ice cream aisle. I probably stood their five minutes staring at all of the new flavors! I know where I am going after Lent is over. So many new brands & flavors.
Yay! Now...do me a favor don't undo everything the day after easter. Learn new good habits.
Yeah after Lent I am only buying one or two ice creams & then finishing them & then buying more. I am not going to hoard food/snacks like I did before since all the choices can be overwhelming when you're looking for a snack in the cupboard.
Yes but maybe buy 1 a week and make that treat day? Or 2 days a week?
Most of the ice creams/gelatos I buy are pints that are around (four servings per container).
Limit 1 per 2 weeks? Just trying to be helpful!
That's what I'll probably end up doing.
I'm not sure I'll buy any Easter Candy to be honest. I might buy a package of Peeps to roast on a campfire, but none of the candies have really called out to me. The only Easter Candy I might buy a few of are the Russell Stover Eggs.
The only new food item that's not ice cream that I might try once Lent is over is the new Oreos that are supposed to taste like a cupcake. I wish Oreos would come out with sample size packs of all the new flavors that way you don't have to buy a whole pack.
I made sure I squeezed in a workout today even though I didn't feel like doing one. Just Dance for the win! My three year old niece even tried to dance. It was funny/cute.
I am still good on the vegan part. There were a few sketchy things that probably had dairy in them this part week but I am not going to stress about it. The weekend is always good exercise but I did blow my streak yesterday. Went back to bed rather than exercise.0 -
We are twins, this is me, and all the Nora Roberts ones too. (replying from a kazillion pages back due to nice weather. Had to take advantage and go walking. )Glinda1971 wrote: »Finished my book, it was good. Tho I think I would request a book that is less dark then this one for the next book. Oh well.
I would probably drive all you insane, I'm one of those people who shows up early, or on the nose. If its for a visit, if I say 2 I mean 2, not 1:59, not 2:02. If its a doctor visit, if its the first time, its 20-30 minutes early, if its not (so paperwork is complete) then 10-15 minutes early.
It drives my husband nuts because he's more laid back.
I own all the jd Robb books, including the short stories.

If it keeps up, I will, but I feel better this morning. I'll report back after my trip to the gym, but it seems pretty typical for my post-concussion headaches. I won't be doing much reading this weekend for sure, but I have had these since I was 7. Almost 40 years. They aren't really frequent and they last 24-48 hours and unless I am trying to read -which my job requires - they don't really interfere with my daily life. Thanks for being concerned about me.0 -

I am in the process of doing the same thing. I buy stuff way faster than I could ever consume it. Do you have a snack picked out for Easter day?
When my daughter gives up chocolate for Lent, she will eat chocolate for breakfast Easter day, and then will pretty much only have chocolate until Easter dinner.0
