    I have zero desire to be at work this week. I am seriously hormonal and grumpy! Someone needs to send me to my room for about three days and just chuck in some Ben and Jerry's The Tonight Dough now and then...

    Sometimes I get lost in religion. So many different people talking about their version of how to worship, or what is right or wrong, or all kinds of check boxes that need to be crossed before I am part of the religious crowd. It is funny to study and see, not one religious icon/leader had an established religion at the time of their lives. Buddha, Jesus, Socrates, Muhammad...the religion of these leaders came about through the interruption of man and how a select few wanted to worship or follow their leader. It is counter active to exactly what any of them had in their messages, which was to learn about yourself from within. To individually find how you are to worship, respect, or live to be a light in the world for others. It isn't about a canned lifestyle and facade of religion, but a personal journey and relationship with the world around and within.

    I confess, I just hate being told that my questioning everything about what to believe, how to believe, and if I should believe mean that I am somehow wrong.

    I dunno.

    Why not question. Growth and education start with questions and the search for answers. Happy hunting.

    My husband and I have committed to going on a 15 mile 2 day hike with my cousin Labor Day weekend. :grimace: I'm scared out of my mind! I'm a lifter, not a hiker!

    Confession: My eating has been out of control! I've been sneaking chocolate before dinner and not logging it. I am in pure IDGAF mode. My weight is creeping up, and I can't seem to make myself care. I still hit the gym hard, but I'm not going to out-exercise these extra calories. I'm not sure what to do to change this, and that makes me want to give up even more. It's a endless downward spiral! :(

    @quiksylver296 I don't know what your goals are and what you're doing at this moment. But maybe you could take a break from everything you're tired of? For a week or two? It helped me refresh my motivation.

    This. Although, for the record, Judaism WAS an established religion and Jesus was a practicing Jew.

    Maybe you should get involved in a competition of some kind. You seem to thrive when you're competing with others besides yourself. Plus, you can't give up, you're my swolesister for life!!!

    Also, can you tell my husband he can't out-exercise a bad diet?! That'd be great, thanks!

    It may be because you have stopped drinking. Log the chocolate. Tell yourself the truth. Try to eat less next week than this week. You can do this, Tami.

    Thanks, Mel. I know I should log it. I've done that before to make myself aware. It's all that IDGAF part...

    Maybe if I imagine @MoHousdon standing over my shoulder, tapping her toe, watching every bite that goes into my mouth...nah, I know how she eats! :D

    ETA: Here's the plan for today (just for today, not gonna worry about anything beyond today). I have already logged all my food. I promise to @MoHousdon and @MelissaPhippsFeagins that I will stick to it. Call me on it tomorrow, k?

    I agree. 15 miles in 2 days will be a piece of cake.

    I will. I am in the same boat. I am up 7 lbs and can't seem to shake it. And I have an ironman in 6 weeks and haven't exercised in months. I am a mess.

    Also I confess, I went to the Mets game last night with my boss and co-workers in our suite and had several glasses of wine. Sigh. Back to square 1. Day 1 #nomorealcohol

    Uncomfortable social situations are my downfall.

    Oh, no!!! That actually makes me feel better about having a drink or three Friday. You were just trying to help me out, right @Oberon21? LOL

    I love this thread. OK so I started Vaping to try to curb my appetite. I have never been a smoker. Now I am getting to really like it and have decided to just use flavors without the nicotine. Am I crazy?

    @cheryldumais Other than the cost, I don't see an issue. Does it curb your appetite, though? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Yeah, lol, it actually does. I don't crave sweet stuff anymore. I'm 59 so I figure if my virgin lungs are being assaulted it's not so bad cause I'm not a youngster anyway, lol. The nicotine (right now it has 1.5mg) keeps me awake at night tho. =:-O
