I feel like my brain is going Jekyl and Hyde on me
Hyde Brain: Why not eat some of all of the treats in the house? They're all so delicious
Jekyl Brain: We already had our treat today, we can have more treats tomorrow
Hyde Brain: Why wait for tomorrow when you could have it now?
Jekyl Brain: I'm not hungry, and that would be a binge which would make me feel awful and regret it.
Hyde Brain: It's just one day, you won't fall back into your old binging patterns. It's just to get it out of your system
Jekyl Brain: BS I know better than that!
And so on and so forth. Seriously, after these treats are gone I'm making sure there's no more than 1 or 2 types of sweet items in the house at one time. Otherwise I want the ice cream, Easter candy, and girl scout cookies all at once!0 -

I would eat all of that at once. That is why I have no food in my house. RESIST!0 -

Nashville in April!
I'm going to Cali in May, Chicago in July and maybe again in October if we get in the marathon, and Tucson in December! (mostly race related)0 -
Girls weekend at Round Top doing the antiquing thing. I look a lot, but don't buy much. It's usually a weekend for me to just do as little as possible and get my head in the right place. I am going to need that before this training program starts.0

10 days until Easter. I am so ready to break my Lenten fast. I almost caved yesterday and again this morning. I must pray my way through it. It's only 10 more days.
I keep reminding myself of that too!
Not sure if I want to eat Easter candy that day or ice cream? Probably ice cream.
I tried the Edy's Vermont Maple. It was ok but not enough toffee pieces. It was mostly just syrup-favored ice cream.
Ugh! I might have to skip that one.
I haven't found any of the new Edy's flavors. Wal-Mart the past two weeks hasn't had much of a selection of Edy's (not sure if they're selling out, changing the mod/feature, or getting the new ones in stock).
This is one of the new flavors of Yuengling's I want to try (I think Weis might get this March 28th?)!
This flavor is pretty interesting

Isn't this brand a beer? Do they make ice cream too? That would be an odd combo.
Yeah it's the same company, but I am not sure if they make any alcoholic ice creams.
If it's not already created I feel like that needs to be a thing
Alcoholic milkshakes in Nashville!
My reward for Nashville will be the same as my friend Kara had for the Music City Ultra on Saturday. Burger Republic. Yum!
*edited to remove names.
I'll take the burger! Yum
Everything looks delicious!
I broke my Lent today & had the Andes Mint Chocolate Shake & some Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun ice cream.
Both of them weren't as good as I remembered.
Funny how that works.0 -

Jekyl and Hyde weren't very good to you today. I hope Jekyll won the battle, I liked her reasoning.0 -

I keep encouraging people to feel things I cannot feel for myself. Like acceptance of current body and pride of accomplishment. I truly mean it when I say it, and I want it for them. I just cant seem to apply it to me. Kinda scared when I get to goal Im still going to feel absolutely *kitten*. but at least I will have done something, eh?0

The month of March was not good to me. I did get in a few great hikes and had a lot of good times with my family so I can't say it was a total waste. It just seemed that I had some low level sinus something going on, with a little malaise added to the mix. so far I have averaged 5.5 miles a day instead of the 7.58 miles a day I had in February.
Friday that sinus something suddenly felt like a massive ballon had been inserted and blown up to the fullest. When I started antibiotics I progressed to rivers than nasty junk. 48 hours of sleep with periodic times woken to eat. On top of that while walking across the room I hooked my little toe on the dumbbell on the floor. I was a pitiful sight.
I am now feeling better and I have high hopes for the month of April.
Good night everyone.0 -
Today was the first day of my PMS and I ate well over half a box of kraft mac and cheese by myself.
By.My.Self.
On top of my normal daily meals. I feel a little dirty. And very very full.0 -

I understand that feeling. I'm a good cheerleader for everyone else, it seems like. Practice positive self-talk, telling yourself good things, pointing out your strengths and positive attributes. When you find yourself using negative self-talk, "I'm so fat," or "I hate my stomach," or whatever, stop immediately! Focus on those positive things. It's not easy, but it's completely necessary. You can do this!0 -

I don't understand why a boss would think that was ok. Ever. Hugs. We have today off and the owner of my company is not religious and by his heritage is Jewish. We are a small company but have multiple religions or non at all and it is never an issue.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »Someone asked about Lent goals and I forgot to reply. It's Spy Wednesday. I have four days left to fast from my item. I really thought I would crack twice this week.
There was a huge Spring Celebration in my department this morning in which my only participation was to guess how many pieces of chocolate were in a vase my supervisor was giving away because she directly asked me to and to find an egg with chocolate candy (that I haven't eaten) that my supervisor hid in my cubby. Note this was deliberately not called an Easter egg and the Holy Day was never mentioned. I am irrationally annoyed by that. And also by the email from our department manager to "wait and see what we've got cooked up foe next month."
It seems odd that she would be so evasive as to not ask for the easter egg to you. Is there someone in the office that is providing pressure not to have any christian references?
Let's just sat that I get a lot of strange looks about my ashes every year. I had one boss ask several years ago if I couldn't wash them off. When I said, "God wouldn't strike me dead for it, but get them if you don't plan to keep them?" she tried to cover them up with my hair. I jerked backward so hard I scared and then put my hair in a ponytail so that everyone had to see them. I have never bee so angry at a boss in my life. Thankfully, she retired.
Father Mike is right, ashes are a bold witness and they do make some people uncomfortable. I wouldn't say there is a ban on Easter, but I would say that there is a secular culture here and the manager would rather offend me than 99 other people.
Thanks!MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »@nonoelmo hugs for you. Sorry about your hard week.

It has involved people I see daily (1) being robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the night (2) a coworker being taken away in an ambulance possibly due to illegal drug use (3) ex going into his manic cycle out of the blue when I objected to him changing plans on my time with son with no communication or notification. All I insisted upon was timely communication. (4)daughter being sick (5) high winds and rapidly changing weather coupled with very high allergy symptoms (6) multiple high pressure deadlines.
In general life is good and I am optimistic. I am so ready for this weekend..
I am back from my two back to back work trips too. Whew!
Props to you for still being optimistic! The Universe definitely needs to give you a big break this weekend
Yay for Tucson especially.rungirl1973 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »
