    Headed on a work road trip today, then a haircut. Maybe spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. Have a little charity powerlifting meet tomorrow that's more just for fun than anything.

    Hey, @Lois_1988, I heard an English saying and I wanted to see if you knew it. "Teaching your grandma to suck eggs." Is that a common saying?

    Uh, I don't know about the Grandma bit, but teaching someone to suck eggs is a common phrase over here, yes.

    To get things back on topic, I have a confession. Nothing juicy or anything.

    I have no idea what I want my goals to be. Life. Weight. Fitness. Work. Nothing. I'm just drifting.

    My boss's son died this morning. He was 19. Not sure if it was a car wreck or medical issue.

    I have no idea when I should reach out... This sucks.

    Oh man, that DOES suck. I'm so sorry. 19 is so young.

    Better watch for rocks. Not that I am much better. I do have a weight goal, but not much else.

    How awful quik. I never know what to say in these circumstances either.

    Confession: I know the best part of breastfeeding (other than it being super good for baby obvs) is supposed to be gazing lovingly into your child's face and getting that amazing bonded feeling. But it isn't! No! It's being able to totally justify eating chocolate in bed at 3am and not put on weight!

    I would actually prefer just to be asleep at 3am, but got to find those silver linings.

    My kids never looked at my face when I was breastfeeding. I listened to audio books.

    Confession: I had planned to make orange glazed chicken for dinner. I took the chicken out of the freezer to defrost yesterday, put it down to answer a text from my daughter, picked it up and put it back in the freezer instead of in the fridge. Good grief, I am losing it.

    Confession: ate many unplanned chocolate almonds. Still under calorie goal, so that's a win. Also drank more of the whiskey intended to be used for baking cupcakes.
    I'm keeping up my resolution to write every day so far, but we'll see how long that lasts...

    I know what you mean. I have the next year and a half at university already sort of planned out by default, but after that.... no clue.

    I have lots of goals but a lot of issues achieving them.

    I am taking a stab in the dark and suggesting Chocolate Irish Whiskey Cake made as cupcakes because I know you like chocolate, Lois.

    Could also be a Rum Cake or Jack Daniel's honey whiskey cupcakes or apple bourbon cake.

    ETA: I confess that I am an enabler, but any of those would be good groom's cupcakes, so ask Danny to pick one and then I can call it helping with wedding planning. LOL.

    You say that, but as a 1920 Prohibition themed wedding, cocktail cupcakes are on the menu!

    I didn't remember that, but I won't complain. :)

    I think I need to follow Spamarie's example and just work on the veg portion of my healthy eating. I am good at protein consumption, but suck at the veg part. Baby steps.
    I managed to push myself on my first work out back and set myself back a week with DOMS. Ever have it so bad that your muscles all feel bruised and hurt when people touch you? Just now getting to the point I can walk with out pain.

    Yikes. That doesn't sound fun.

    Yes. I have and I hate it. I may be doing to myself again tonight too, but I am going to try to stretch enough to avoid it.

    Yup! My arms hurt so bad I couldn't lift my hand up to my face once. I had to make a sling out of my jumper because just having them just hang at my sides hurt. :lol: I was never that ambitious again.

    I am getting back to it myself. Only this time starting light and slowly. The weight will come later. I just need to not hurt myself again.
