Do we track using an app like runtastic?
Too intense? My brother recently posted on Facebook I could take the fun out of a circus act in something I posted I thought was funny. (Yes I am not talking to him now). So maybe I should just follow whomever takes the lead on establishing the group. ;-)
*edited for screwing up the quoting on my phone.
Yes yes yes, all of it!
I'm thinking travelling any kind of distance because I swim 3 days a week and would be at a disadvantage. lol
Well, you could always swim down the Brandywine, swim along the coast to the Bay of Belfalas, and then swim up the Anduin to Osgiliath & meet us on the road to Minas Morgul...

I went on an all inclusive vacation to Cancun last week. I had a goal of staying on track. Totally failed, between awesome food, deserts and alcohol...gained 9 pounds in 7 days.0

Not a confession, but rather a pat myself on the back: I finally surpassed the 60 lbs lost mark, after over a month of bouncing back and forth between 56 and 59. (side note: MFP does not say 60, I started a week before joining here last July and input the weight I was at when I joined)0

Sounds totally worth it to me! Eh, you've got to enjoy your vacation. I'm sure you'll get right back on track now.0 -

Me too, I totally run on CP time. However, I generally run like 5-30 minutes late, but I have several friends that can literally be more than two to three hours late for things.....
Then I have those friends that are usually on time and get stressed out when I wander out five minutes late. My boss sometimes claps if I am close to being on time for work......
We would not get along lol. Seriously one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are late. I find it very disrespectful.
I hate being late. It's my biggest peeve. And i get really mad when someone makes me late!
That sounds like my husband.
I'm chronically late... So I have to set alarms for myself to make sure I'm on time somewhere, or awake by a certain time.
I set my alarm to wake me up at 5:00am and 5:30am every morning, but I actually don't get up until 6:00am.
I've had to be at an interview at a certain time, so I set an alarm for what time I had to leave, but before that was my alarm for when I needed to start getting ready.
It was a pain in the beginning to set so many alarms, but now I'm rarely late
I am always late. But always in the 15 min category. I swear I don't know how to be on time. Yet I have family that are fanatically on time (my mother). It goes in the "I think I can get one more thing done before I leave" category. On the other hand I hate being early. I hate waiting around. Such a waste of time. And I am not good at social chit chat. I would much rather be late than have to wait. When I arrive everything starts or you have missed all the social crap and intros etc. and can just jump into it.
I have a friend who hates that I am always late, yet she is NEVER ready when I get there?!?!?
I understand the awkward social aspect of being early/on time, but I can differentiate between not showing up to a casual party on time and coming late when you are meeting someone for dinner, or a movie, or something else time sensitive.
My in-laws are chronically, maddeningly late. Like, late to my wedding (my mil scheduled her hair appointment at the time I asked her to be at the church, somehow she thought she could do both at the same time), late to my surprise 25th birthday party, late to my son's first birthday, 2 hours late to meet my parents for dinner. They definitely suffer from the "I can fit in one (or twelve) more tasks before I get ready" syndrome. It boggles my mind how little social regard they show for other people.
I only have one child, and I know it gets harder the more you have, but it also drives me crazy when people blame their kids for their lateness. I do have grace for emergencies and catastrophes, but not when they happen every single time, mainly because they aren't anticipated. I know that inevitably as I try to walk out the door, little guy will have a dirty diaper and need an outfit change. So I get ready early enough to deal with it and still be on time. But if it happens 5 time in a row and I still act surprised by it...
I find that totally legitimate. I have 3 kids and it still drives me crazy when someone is chronically late and blames it on the kids. I also get somewhat annoyed when I see the same parents dropping off their kids 15 minutes after school starts (I live next to a school) every day. I walk my kids to school, and if I can walk in a damn blizzard and get there on time, you can drive in your nice warm car and make it, at least most days! /Judgmental.

That's what surprised me. Order water if you don't like anything else.0 -
Same here! All inclusive resort to the Dominican Republic in June. I'm hoping that all the walking I'll do around there will at least help to balance things out... a bit. I joined a Bikini Body group just so I can feel comfortable walking around in a bikini there!roland9765 wrote: »I went on an all inclusive vacation to Cancun last week.

Yea, I probably won't be wearing a bikini, it has been about 35 years since I could do that. but I'm a lot older than you and have been a lot heavier too I assume. I will just be glad to be able to wear a swimsuit and not feel like I need to be covered up.0 -

Not a judgement but why didn't you just make the hot chocolate? Not sweet enough?
Good question! I think I just wanted a quick fix? I don't even know, in hindsight.
lol okay.
I double dog dare you.
When I was younger I would eat packages of swiss hot choc mix all the time. I have no shame in reaching for that if its the only sweet thing around LOL0 -

This is what I find puzzling. That they didn't just come up with the solution "I will get water." I think there's sometimes a desire to dramatize things, which, granted, I can totally understand from time to time. The same, kind of, with the thread about how chicken and fish are super fattening because they can't be purchased without extra oil and (mind boggles) sausage, which I'm writing off to being in another country, I guess.0 -

Me neither! I'm sure they are all really good shows, but I don't like to sit in front of the TV for very long. I only watch sports, really. In the evenings (while my husband binge watches all of these series mentioned on Netflix) I prefer to listen to music and read in the other room. Much more relaxing for me.
Yep, that's me, too. Other than football season, I'd rather be buried in a good book!
Yes! We don't even get any channels on our TV. I have super fast internet, so I can stream the CFL (Real Football - longer field and one less down than NFL) games. I also LOVE listening to the games on the radio...the announcers are SOOOO exciting! Go RIDERS! /=S=/
I got into football watching the Esks with my ex. We were season seat holders. Then I started watching NFL and fell in love with the fame when we drove 18 hours to see Favre play in MN (hubby's dream to see him play). CFL doesn't compare to NFL. I can't even watch CFL anymore... btw, have the riders learned to count yet
(to those that don't know the Riders lost the Grey Cup twice b/c of a too many men call!) ...sorry Ladybug...I couldn't resist
We can never be friends!
I was at the Grey Cup game when the Riders won at home and it was one of the greatest experiences I have had in my whole life! The Riders have the best fans of any sports team in the entire world! 0 -

I legitimately had to choke back a laugh on that. I have no idea.0 -
I did that last month - 5 days, 5 pounds. However, once it had all 'cleared through' and all the sodium was flushed away, I was hardly up at all.

Hey, now, walking is NOT a wimpy workout! I'm a speed / incline walker. I can't jog or run due to an ankle and neck issue. Just giving you a bad time!

My store was out (said some was supposed to be on the delivery truck scheduled to arrive the next day), I couldn't wait, so I drove to 3 other stores in town with no luck, then drove 45 minutes to the next store that carried it!
I've never heard of this stuff before now and certainly haven't seen it in any stores... but of course now I'm going to be on the hunt for it, probably my next trip to the US.
I see BZAH10 has put up a new shoulder/arm avatar to taunt inspire and motivate me. Lol. I'm glad she posts so often in this thread so I get to see my Dream Shoulder regularly.
Hahaha! Thanks for noticing! I only posted a new picture because I was really white and pale in my other picture. Been outside recently and have a bit of color, so I thought I'd update it.
I've been toying with the idea of posting my own shoulder pic just for laughs (which will be totally meaningless to anyone outside of this thread) but it would definitely out-pale your old one as we're on our fifth month of winter here... snowing outside as I type.
I get confused when people change their avatar lol. Someone had your llama pic in a Facebook group I'm in, and I was like "you can't use that picture! That's @ythannah! ".
In other news, we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow too.
Lol! That's what I get for putting up a pic poached from the net.
And if I'm not mistaken, somebody recently changed her avatar from a masked purple-haired girl to a very pretty brunette...
Thanks... The picture is actually a year and a half old, but I haven't changed much lol
It is a great picture of you!
And snow? Where do you live? I live in South Carolina and it is 76 here today.
Northern -ish Alberta. It's supposed to be +16 today (about 60F), then we might get a couple centimetres of snow tomorrow. The weather changes quickly here lol
Where in AB... I am in Edmonton
I grew up 95% in and around Edmonton and my folks and sisters (plus brothers in law and 2 nieces and 3 nephews) all still live in the area. Watching the Oilers on Center Ice right now.
Admitting that you actually watch the Oilers play hockey is a condession, indeed!0 -
I wish I had ALL day to read all the comments! It's nice to know we all do these things, I just wish I would learn from my own mistakes. Telling my husband to buy the Big Bag of Peanut M and Ms from Costco because it's cheaper probably not the best thing. He can take a handful and much on them all day long. Me, I take the entire container and mindlessly eat - while I tell myself I shouldn't be doing it, and I DON"T STOP!0

Confession: I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow and up until this thread existed I did not get online at all on my days off. Now I sign on here at least once a day to keep up! I'm already factoring in my online time over the next few days so that I can keep up but still be on as minimally as possible.
I don't have the MFP app and I'm thinking I should probably keep it that way.0 -

Last weekend was the first time I'd ever come into the forums on here on my days off. I figured if I was caught up, I would be more productive on Monday (it didn't really work).
I installed the app, with the intention of not using my work computer for MFP as much, since they can track it. I decided to use my work computer for today, then decided I needed to close it to get some work done. Less than 5 minutes later I had my phone in my hand and was on the app.
I think I have a problem.0 -
I also do not have any idea what Minecraft is, I have never played CandyCrush or any of those other games, I am paranoid about putting apps on my phone, and I do not have a Facebook page. Joining MFP was a big deal for me. I am a technological dinosaur.0

Whenever I buy treats for my kids, I only buy them stuff they love that I don't (peanut butter granola bars, butterscotch and vanilla puddings, banana cream pie and cinnamon roll flavored yogurts, marshmallow peeps, etc). This way I'm not tempted to plow through their good stuff. I hate when people send my kids treat boxes full of treats I love because I have no self control. I don't want it in my house!0

OMG, I keep my 3 1/2 year old grandson on the weekends so his parents can work and on Valentine's day I got him some treats, and he kept saying "Nana, will you chair (that is how he says share) wif me pwease?" I had so much junk that day! How can I turn him down?0 -

South Bend news said they shut their doors already. Not sure how they didn't see that coming?
Tonight's confession: my dinner is a sandwich made on pancakes. I'm trying to figure out how to make it more often, except it takes a huge chunk of my calories for the day.
I NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STAT
cream cheese pancakes, to be exact. Ratio is 2 oz cream cheese, 2 large eggs, and if you want them sweet, 1 packet stevia, dash of vanilla, pinch of cinnamon (or whatever flavor/spices you want). You can also go savory and just add a pinch of salt. Throw in a blender or food processor and hit it til the chunks are all gone, let the mix sit for 5 minutes so the bubbles rise, then make like regular pancakes, med heat, flip when the first side has a few bubbles.
There was a post on reddit using them to make monte cristos in place of french toast. I'm sure you could use regular pancakes, too. A lot of people use them to make ketofied McGriddles, too.0
