    Just waiting for my last scheduled patient before heading home. I have tomorrow off, so I get a four day break. This is the best way to kill the time!! It is keeping me out of some chocolate that was gifted to me. Ghirardelli sea salt too.

    LUCKY!!! I have to work tomorrow... :(

    Ditto.

    Me too. :disappointed:

    On the plus side, that means I can be on here trying to boost the page count.

    I am pretty sure this is the most active I have been in this thread in months!! Oh and @Susieq_1994 , I think the binge post only counts if no one else is posting with you!!

    It's pretty awesome! You all have made my day!

    Like old times, huh. :)

    And I missed most of it. I am frantically trying to catch up! Although that is kind of like old times too... I was always catching up.

    In the interest of page count, what are you considering for goals/resolutions in 2017?

    Here are mine:


    1. A 350 pound deadlift, at least. (Currently one rep max is 315.)
    2. Ten pull-ups in a row! (Can do six.)
    3. I paid off all my credit cards this morning!!! Goal is to keep them that way.
    4. Fit comfortably into my tightest pair of size 10 pants. Don't really care what the scale says.

    I confess that I'm really pissed off at one of the neighbors. They're BLASTING music like it's a wedding, and it's 11 PM, and they do this AT LEAST once a week. I wish I could go and smash their speaker system.

    So can I confess I sometimes deliberately do this to my neighbors upstairs? They have 2 kids and hardware floors and they run like maniacs up and down the hallways all the time so it bangs like crazy on my ceiling, and then they drag out the vacuum at 11 pm and start vacuuming. So, sometimes, when I am at at 3 am doing laundry, I blast my stereo. :# :

    Lately I have been hiding from the scale, with the super heavy lifts I've been doing I find that my weight is higher than what I had expected. I have some crazy anxiety over the whole weight gain thing so I stepped away for my own sanity.

    But you're a hard-core, superwoman lifter, so there's that!!! ;)

    Haha I am getting there! I'm going to be buying a belt soon! :open_mouth:

    You need a cool purple one like Quik

    That's obviously 'cause we're super great. Someone needs to get Mo back into the forums, she's missing the fun! Anyone know how to hack workplace forum blocks? :p

    Did I miss she got blocked?

    Her IT department blocked the MFP forums as social media. :( grumble, grumble

    Hey alll!
    Currently procrastinating on book keeping (I'm learning the ropes for work). I think I need another coffee soon too, I've had three but I am just lagging hard today!

    I had four. Five is my cut off, but I won't have that many today.

    :o:#:o I don't think anyone could handle me if I had four coffees.

    I start every day with 2 XL Dunkin Donuts coffees. If I have 3 it's a bad day. But I usually stop there. I used to drink it all day long. I am thinking of going to get one now...

    I confess that I'm really relieved that my call is over so I can finally go eat lunch because I'm starving.

    Confession: I think Christmas would be more enjoyable if nobody expected presents/gave presents.
    I think the whole gifting aspect of Christmas is so stressful that it ruins the holiday.

    Where'd everybody go? :o I can't talk to myself for the next 80 pages! :D

    I'm here :)

    Yay! More confessions? :p

    Ooh, I've got one:
    I confess that I've been putting more time into stepping than household chores lately. The house has been getting pretty much just a lick and a promise while I dive into piles of Kindle books and start to step!

    I confess that my housekeeping angel retires on Monday, and I'm not sure I remember how to keep up the house. ;) I need a new housekeeping angel.

    Oops. Time to advertise for a new angel! I don't have one of those. ;)

    Nope. Not with my profession (you understand). I have to luck upon one.

    Ask friends. That's how I found mine after I discovered a bunch of stuff missing over a few months with my former cleaning service.

    I confess I'm very upset with Mrs S and her attitude to household chores are the moment. It's been a stressful few weeks as I've been in Devon every weekend to pack up the house for moving. She promises every week to clean the bathroom and change the bedlinen, but when I get home after 4-5 days, she's done nothing, I mean literally nothing, not even loaded the dishwasher with dishes from when I left on the Thursday. I've ended up doing everything, as well as all cooking and washing. And the reason? Because she's totally obsessed with an online war game and cannot/will not put it down. On weekends she is literally spending hours and hours playing it. It's really getting me down.

    Ooh that is not good. Those games are crazy obsessive. I don't get it at all (as I check MFP all day and in our heyday spent hours reading posts). Maybe sit her down and talk it out?

    I've tried, on more than one occasion. She acknowledges she's obsessed and makes an effort not to play if I'm around. But if I'm not around....all I get are excuses as to why things are not done.

    So why am I on mfp at 7.30pm on a Thursday night? Because she's gone upstairs to play her game.

    Then she isn't making an effort not to play today when you are around? Maybe feeling guilty?

    Can we trade? I have to get on a training conference call shortly and am not looking forward to it. More time to post, though!

    Trade, no, your call sounds awful. However, I invite you to play hooky and join me! I have lots of books to go around. :D

    Ooh, yes please!!

    Come on over! We're having breakfast-for-dinner tonight! ;) (It's nearly 11 PM here, in case you didn't know that I live across the world.)


    I love breakfast for dinner, that sounds awesome! If only I could afford the last-minute airfare. :lol:

    And you know, some threads are worth lurking in for almost two years. :smiley:

    This one is!

    Another page! Yay! I wonder if I'm going to get thrown into some kind of "too much posting in too little time" jail.

    Is that a thing? :#

    Happened to me once here when I was posting pictures. It's a spam-stop sort of thing, if you're posting too many posts in a small amount of time they stop you from posting anything for like five minutes!

    Happened to me here trying to get to a milestone page.

    I actually have two scales. One lives at work, the other at home. ;)

    I lug mine along every time I go to a friend's house for lunch or dinner. She probably thinks I'm insane, but she doesn't seem to mind!

    I am at my mom's atm and first thing packed was the food scale lol. When I was weighing food post-surgery my MIL stared at me like I was crazy

    If I weighed my food in front of my MIL, I think she'd try to get me put into a psych ward for insanity. ;) She doesn't quite get the whole CICO thing!

    I pack my weight scale when I travel. Most people think I'm nuts.

    I'm the bad kid who hasn't been using my scale as much as I should (although I have a LONG way to go so it doesn't hurt me as much as it would at a lower weight). Really need to get back to weighing everything again.

    I meant for my weight. I don't use a food scale really anymore. I kind of eyeball it.

    I used to play Sims 3 and I'd spend hoooours of my day playing it. But when I got married I consciously chose to stop playing it because I knew it was way too much of a timesuck. Fine for a teen with nothing better to do, but it wouldn't be fair to my husband if I did that now.

    I just have never been in to games.

    It's great when lurkers come out of lurking mode! I lurked from the start of the thread until May..about 5 months..

    I lasted about 6 weeks before I ventured in, but I came in a few weeks into it. Took me days to catch up.

    As for holiday related confessions.....I have been making lots of toffee and pretzel turtle candy (pretzel, Rolo, pecan) and I cannot keep myself out of them. I may have to make more of the turtles tonight! The sugar is the main reason I have jumped 11 pounds since October... :/

    Hugs! To make you feel better, I confess that I've gained 50 pounds this year through all-out binge eating. :(

    @Susieq_1994 - I hope it gets better soon!! It has been stressful the last part of the year, but I can't blame anyone but me for what I gained.

    Yep, same here. It's all me! I'm pretty proud of myself, I've been back to logging for 1.5 months now... But in the meantime I've gained a grand total of about 90 pounds. Woohoo? :neutral:

    You can get in on our hard reset, too!

    I'm so in! I'm in three different challenges right now, trying to get myself all motivated. ;) I'm in a calorie logging challenge with Nicci and Patricia, a weight loss challenge with some non-MFP friends and my sister, and then of course the weekly step challenge, in which I try to beat @tobistat every week. ;)

    You and Tobi are ridiculous on the fitbit steps. LOL ;) I feel good if I'm even in your general vicinity, steps-wise.

    I know. I aspire every week to make it. This week isn't happening either.

    I'm just a lurker but I'll try and help for the 2000 or 2017.

    Happy early anniversary, @Susieq_1994 and @kelly_c_77 !!!!
    I confess that Mr. Susie and I's anniversary is coming up in three days, and I'm planning to eat ALL the food! I'm still debating between going out to a really awesome restaurant or baking something really decadent at home. The baking at home might turn out to be a problem, since I'll end up having lots of baking stuff left over! I'm not sure how well my will-power will stand up to that...

    Happy anniversary, you little lovebirds!!! Both options sound awesome to me.

    Thanks! <3 My ultra-special every-year anniversary food is a giiiant chocolate chip cookie stuffed with MORE chocolate and topped with vanilla ice cream. 1400 calories a serving. Possibly a bad idea. :D

    :yum: *drools*

    Yay! Fresh blood! Post away!

    Hugs, LeeAnn! Do the best you can and join me for the hard reset January 1. :*

    I will start cleaning things out on Dec. 26th!! We don't really do lots of social things through New Year, so I can get a bit of a head start. But I will be right there will you.

    I'm getting a headstart too but need to get it together in 2017. I really fell down the later half of 2016.

    Can someone please explain to me the obsession with mesh in leggings right now?

    What I want to know is what's with the obsession with LEGGINGS right now? I had to shop for HOURS and in like four different malls just to find ONE pair of pants that weren't leggings in the stores here. :neutral:

    I only have one pair of leggings that are NOT for the gym, and wear them very rarely. All my other leggings are gym wear, and I wear them constantly (going to the gym, not for athleisure).

    Me too. Leggings are not an attractive look on me. But I wear them constantly at home. And yoga pants.
    I live in yoga pants at home if we don't have guests. When I leave the house, I wear jeans..then right back into my yoga pants when I get back home.
