I am still convinced the lazy way of gifts bags is the way to go.4 -

Why oh why will my black eye not post? Sigh. Well fyi I managed to give myself a black eye last night feeding porch kitties. Bent over and smacked my eye socket into the wrought iron chair.0

I'm sorry. I imagine working retail can definitely wreck the holidays for anyone.

There is another reason not to have a cat. Or maybe to not have a wrought iron chair. Ouch!0 -
Confession: I start StrongCurves tonight as my marathon cross training and I am dreading it. I know I need to but I really hate lifting . Also I've been trying to nail down my BF% via those pictoral charts so I could set BF goals against it but I am flaming out. Why are all the sub 20's clearly physique competitors? 0

Because the human female evolved for childbirth and any bf% below 20 is not optimal for that job. Reminding myself of this biological fact and of how awful I looked at 7.5% and 138 lbs keeps me sane.0 -

Reminds me of the time we were camping and my grandma bent over for something and got a marshmallow stick right up the nose. Bled forever. One of our family's more hilarious stories! 0 -

Yeah that makes sense, I just find the charts hard to follow as a result though ykwim? I have a bodybuilder friend whose opinion was 18% and that Navy calculator gave me about the same so I think I'll just say 20% and aim for what looks more like 18 on the charts I guess, I'm never going to be a figure competitor though lol. It's one of those "my legs are 15%, my stomach is lmao%" situations -_- .
On the positive side I survived cross training day

All the men in the building (specifically within the mortgage company) is sick with man colds, it first started with my boss and now it's alll over. I'm hiding out front with tons of lysol and music so I don't hear the whining 3

About a month ago, my dad told me that there was no way that he'd feel full if he counted calories. This week, he said that he was pretty sure that he's lost weight. He doesn't know that I figured out his TDEE and have been portioning out his meals for three weeks...
Also, I should be lifting right now and am playing on the forums instead lol9 -

That's pretty freaking awesome! Are you going to tell him at some point?0 -

I'm not sure yet since I think I would be mortally embarrassed to tell him.
He's 53, 350 lbs, and we're both pretty sure that he's pre-diabetic so I started doing it because I was worried when he wouldn't go to the doctor. I've been making heart-healthy and diabetes-friendly recipes for months+ making sure he's eating enough fruits/veggies, but I worry he'd feel that I was overstepping my bounds by actually monitoring his calorie intake.0 -

I agree. Smart approach! Let him think he accomplished it. He may subconsciously start to make better choices as he gets used to better choices, foods and smaller portions.0 -

It helps that my dad is pretty oblivious. He only realized two weeks ago that I'm the person who's been washing/ironing his clothes and cleaning his bathroom for the past 3 years.I agree. Smart approach! Let him think he accomplished it. He may subconsciously start to make better choices as he gets used to better choices, foods and smaller portions.
That seems to be the case so far.
In the past 3 months, he's replaced chips with apple slices (he likes the crunch and that they're easy on his teeth), has started splitting his to-go orders with me (the other day, a tray of nachos he usually eats by himself was too much for him and he gave me half), and has gone from over a 100 ounces of soda a day to a 32 oz from McD's on his way home (he said that soda fills him up too much and he'd rather have whatever meal I've prepped when he gets off work)
I'm really proud of him because he's definitely making healthier decisions! I'm just giving him a nudge here and there to try and help.9 -

I told someone at the gym the other day that I have a permanent baby belly. My abs will never be as strong as they were before 4 kids.0 -
