Put in your Wonder Woman suit and get on it.6 -
You got this Quik!! Sometimes you just have to have someone else let you have it to verify what you already know. Now where is that Wonder Woman suit?2

I'm at the point where I'm majoring in the minors, trying to utilize very slight changes/cues to maximize my lifts. On bench, I need to focus on driving through my heels and a slight chest "pop" when I start to press.
Heels flat on the floor, but driving. No sunlight visible under the glutes. Slight chest pop. Good lift!

I can't watch action films because I just can't sit back and enjoy, I have to dissect all the impossible bits, the more mundane, the better. Currently watching a bit of Jurassic World on TV, which ignoring the main premise is full of beautiful stretches of ludicrous. As the main guy is riding his motorcycle through the forest after his pack of raptors, I can't help but think why isn't he wearing a helmet?! Never mind being eaten by dinosaurs, he's way more likely to hit a tree root and smash his skull on a rock. This is why I don't watch films!2

I just watched that for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I definitely didn’t notice that. 😂1 -

1. If you have to catch the raptors, you can't take the time to put on a helmet.
2. Why would the director want to hide the handsome hero's face?
3. The first concept you learn in theater classes is that you depend on your audience to suspend their disbelief so that they can enjoy the story which you're trying to tell.
4. You spell it theatre instead of theater, don't you?2 -
I tell myself that celebrities I like would find me disgusting if I eat that cookie or drink that shake.3

This is why I only like movies that have a basis in truth. I dont mind stretching the truth to build a good story, but if there is just no way any of it could happen, I get bored very easily.0 -

That would never work for me. I couldn't care less what celebrities think. Most of them are well paid parrots. Looking good while they repeat someon else's words.
ETA : If it works for you, by all means continue to use that strategy. I have autism and only care what a few people think of me. OTOH, if the long-timers in this thread told me that I should not eat the cookie, I would probably listen.3 -

Ditto on both those....minus the autism....0 -

Except we are bad influences and would tell you to eat the cookie!

That's why I wouldn't eat the cookie if you said don't. I'd probably drop it in the floor out of surprise, but I wouldn't eat it. LOL!!2 -

There's nothing disgusting about food (unless you put it in the bin and douse it in washing liquid 😉) and certainly you are not disgusting for eating something, but I guess if you feel it helps you that's your call. No judgement, I just don't like to see folk be mean to themselves. Good luck to you.1 -

Anne-Marie, I almost spit out my coffee. 😂😂😂😂1 -
When I was doing Medifast, I was so hungry that I would lick the blade on my Ninja blender in order to get ALL of the shake. Yes, I risked severing my tongue to satisfy my hunger and I still didn't realize that it was a bad diet plan.....2

You win. That Is a bad diet plan.0 -
Happy Fri-YAY!!!
I confess: I ate ice cream, chocolate and peanut butter for dinner last night. And I didn't log it. New low on the scale this morning. 3 -

Well done, that is a proper confessions thread post! The important thing is you realised eventually, and at least you didn't cut off your tongue!3 -
I'm officially back up to my starting mfp weight from October 2014. What a bummer.
I don't actually feel too bad about it. In that time I've created two children, put on 54lbs first time, lost it all, then put on 40lbs and lost all but 15lbs of it. I've found it much harder to lose second time around, and in fact have put on 5lbs in the past couple of months since quitting breastfeeding. I don't want it to keep creeping (I cannot afford new clothes!) so I'm going to try logging for a bit.
I know what to do, I've done it before, just never with two small people around who take up all my time! If I could lose 10lbs over the next 3-4 months I'd be content with that. It's not crazy ambitious but hopefully it's doable.4 -

It's doable. It's harder at Ellie's age because she really does require eyes on care to keep her out of danger from electrical outlets and all of the things to climb on and "if Andrew can do it, I can do it" attitude.
Anything I can do, you can do. And I did that. My real weight problem came with having Tyler immediately followed by the drastically life changing onset of autoimmune disease.

You totally can do it, Spammy.2

So I had a successful garage sale. Now that it isn't taking up the rest of my mental energy normally dedicated to working out, I suppose it's time to get back to trying to work out. Day 1 of garage sale was one of my most active days in a long time though! 16K Steps, and 34 flights of stairs according to my fit bit. Which I can believe. I spent the WHOLE day running box after box of crap up from the basement. As soon as an empty space would clear up I had it filled. I could probably purge my house AGAIN and have enough to have another.
BUT at this point the basement no longer looks like an episode of Hoarders, and I cleared my storage unit out, so I'm pretty happy with that. Feels like a load of (of junk) has lifted off my shoulders.

You've got this! Maybe you can get them involved in some way too. Like they would try a work out video with you, or you could "play" and do things like baby lifts and stuff. You could do things that increase your NEAT such as dancing while cleaning too. This way you're not taking too much attention off the little ones and it doesn't feel like it would take up as much time. (I need to heed my own advice, acually) 5
