We are twins, this is me, and all the Nora Roberts ones too. (replying from a kazillion pages back due to nice weather.

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.
I have all Karen Robards. Nora Roberts was never a favorite of mine. I haven't tried the JD Robb ones.0 -
Reporting back now that I have been to the gym. Still feeling pretty good, much much better than yesterday. Still won't be trying to read a lot.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.
You deserve a rest. What's the hardest to give up when you go Vegan?
I might need to skip my exercise everyday in Lent since I was limping a bit at work.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.
I'm thinking it will either be ice cream (I noticed so many new flavors I wanted to try & my favorite Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns was restocked) or some kind of Easter Candy.0 -

I don't find going vegan hard in terms of missing food (I mostly eat vegan anyway and have been vegetarian for 20+ years) it's when you are starving and everything you look at has some kind of daily product in it that gets tough. I am going to try to start to cook for myself (maybe) that will help.0 -

I am thinking it's from playing Just Dance the past two days, sleeping on my leg wrong, or standing on my feet for around 7-8 hours a day. I might just walk for my exercise during the rest of Lent.
That would be hard as far as finding food that is animal friendly & can fit into your overall diet. Do you have a lot of restaurants near you that are vegan friendly?0 -
I do good with my diet until i lose inches/weight or manage not to gain weight then go off course eating double my daily calories for a week only to gain weight. Ive been doing this since June and have gained 40 pounds because of it.0

@mwm158 Im sorry for your unhappiness. I hope something changes for you. Have you tried talking to a doctor about it?0

Hugs. You can do this! How about next time you go of course you get back on course after a day rather than a week? What do you think would help?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).
That's why I use one of those daily pill containers like someone else mentioned up thread. Then I can see if I took them or not.0 -

The JD Robb are less romance and more mysteries. The series centres on Eve Dallas and her husband. She's a cop in 2058 and solves murders and chases serial killers.0 -

Maybe you are being too restrictive in your eating on those weeks you are being good? Maybe you need to moderate those weeks so you don't feel when you have had a bit of success that is permission to go of the rails?0 -

No but most restaurants are pretty good about cooking alternatives and I have no problem asking for things cooked differently than they call for in a menu. Unusual diet requests are so common now. Sometimes I end up with just a large plate of vegetables but if they are cooked well that is ok by me!0 -

Maybe you are being too restrictive in your eating on those weeks you are being good? Maybe you need to moderate those weeks so you don't feel when you have had a bit of success that is permission to go of the rails?

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.
You deserve a rest. What's the hardest to give up when you go Vegan?
I might need to skip my exercise everyday in Lent since I was limping a bit at work.
That is a bummer what did you do to yourself?
I don't find going vegan hard in terms of missing food (I mostly eat vegan anyway and have been vegetarian for 20+ years) it's when you are starving and everything you look at has some kind of daily product in it that gets tough. I am going to try to start to cook for myself (maybe) that will help.
I am thinking it's from playing Just Dance the past two days, sleeping on my leg wrong, or standing on my feet for around 7-8 hours a day. I might just walk for my exercise during the rest of Lent.
That would be hard as far as finding food that is animal friendly & can fit into your overall diet. Do you have a lot of restaurants near you that are vegan friendly?
No but most restaurants are pretty good about cooking alternatives and I have no problem asking for things cooked differently than they call for in a menu. Unusual diet requests are so common now. Sometimes I end up with just a large plate of vegetables but if they are cooked well that is ok by me!
If you get into the back-woods and very rural America you might have more problems, just plain due to lack of the number of people who eat that way and the restaurants / cooks not having any real experience in accommodating and understanding special diets. Daughter, TK, and I stopped at a restaurant on the way back from Ren Fair last weekend where they had never heard of gluten-free. It was surreal - as if going back in time 20 years to when I was diagnosed. They were very nice and tried - but as soon as we saw the food we knew we could not eat it. It was not their fault and they tried, but they just didn't understand the necessity of avoiding cross contamination, etc. Even daughter's garden salad was contaminated. We enjoyed the ambience and watched TK eat. We made it look as if we'd had some of our meal and headed down the road. That is the first real strike-out in food I have had in a long time.

I felt like I was losing weight but now my jeans are smaller. I blame the industrial dryers.
Also the concert I was at last night was *kitten* amazing. Astoundingly beautiful. I may have cried. I don't want to go back to real life now. My ears are still ringing.0 -

I had a funny experience in rural PA. I told them I was vegan (last time I tried this) and people were coming up to me to meet me saying they had never met a vegan before. I was a local celebrity. It was so funny. I had a very limited diet there.
