    I drink Coke Zero and log it as water

    I don't log diet/0 calorie drinks at all.

    Me either. I can't be bothered.

    I am looking at adopting 2-3 new cats from a local shelter I have been seeing on Facebook. A black one, an orange one and a calico. All older or 2 x adoptee rejects. Supposedly cat friendly. I know it will stress out PK, I think Cobweb will love it. I had been thinking of adding one after I lost Emilia, but with the loss of Portia the condo seems empty. But PK definitely still misses Portia. I just keep thinking I could give these senior cats a nice home... PK will eventually adapt, right? :)

    I contacted the shelter, but getting there is very difficult with my current schedule...

    I seem to love to invite additional stress into my life.

    I think it's wonderful you're considering adopting adult cats. Puppies and kittens are cute and popular, but there are many sweet, loving cats and dogs in shelter that would make great companions. Go for it!

    I would bring in my own food sometimes because I'm fussy and cheap, especially if it was a place I didn't know. But I wouldn't waste it and I wouldn't litter! That makes me mad.

    I get similarly annoyed when a big music festival happens and people abandon tents. As if a tent is a disposable item! Luckily there are schemes in place where the scouts volunteer to help tidy up, and in return get to keep any useable tents. But sheesh people!

    I think Download Festival donate any usable tents to Shelter. The key word being 'usable' though.

    I cannot quite believe I've never been to Download. I would clearly love it! Leeds/Reading has become too poppy for me. Maybe we'll go in a couple of years when we've done looking after newborns. I'm not too old for metal yet!

    Spam, I've seen people taking small children to Download Festival. We once camped with a couple and their daughter. I think her daughter was about 6? It was a great educational experience for her. Her mum would point out drunk people and say "This is what happens when you drink too much." :lol: But she loved it, she loved Rob Zombie.

    I have to admit, I'm pro bring/sneak your own food in. Venue food and drink is just SO overpriced. A pint is about £5+. At the NFL nachos cost us £8! It's a good job the lady serving was holding them because I would have dropped them when she said that.

    I am going to... I just need to get to the darn shelter!

    Is that like the festival in Bridget Jones Baby? I don't think they have them like that is the states but I could be wrong, I'm not a concert goer.

    I went to a Pink Floyd show one year where the parents were bringing their under ten children. Nice to see with all the 'smoke' being passed about!

    I have never been, but I think Coachella is somewhat like that. I am sure there are some others. But I don't go to much more than the odd concert.

    add me to the gross club, i only have 2 sports bras - one isnt as supportive and i use it for my walk/baby jog (every day), the other is more supportive and used for zumba and the gym (combined 4 times a week). They get washed once, maybe twice a week (but really, once is more common)

    if i eat something that will put me too far over my calorie goals, ill save it and add it to the next day.

    i dont always log the diet sodas i drink. (but the reg calorie ones i do). dont ask me why, i dont know LOL

    i dont sweat much. maybe that makes me weird. the small of my back is about the only place i sweat.


    Lol, diet sodas (Diet Dr. Pepper really) are pretty much all I drink besides coffee. I don't log them either, I just figure what's the point? I honestly don't care about sodium, I just want to see my calories/carbs/protein/fats/fiber.

    I could eat BPI Sports' both S'mores and Salted Caramel Pretzel protein bars like candy bars. It's becoming a problem. No, you don't have to heat them up to make them taste better.

    I've been eating a ton of Power bars recently since Grocery Outlet has boxes for $3.75 (15 bars).

    Heavens to Betsy, it stinks outside. One minute it smells like a tanker truck of vinegar overturned and the next it smells like cigarette ashes. The vinegar is the better smell.

    I am very grateful that no one was hurt when the plant exploded this morning and that nothing outside the plant was damaged. It could have been so much worse. The last time this happened, 16 people were killed. That was October 4, 1960. Weird....

    Weird on timing!

    Ugh at smelling like cigarette ashes! I think I'd rather smell the vinegar as well.

    Glad no one was hurt.

    I sometimes would log my Diet Mountain Dew cans if I had multiple in a day.

    I'm trying to go caffeine free again (mostly hate getting caffeine headache withdrawals when I run out).

    So far it's been a week. I wish around my area we had the Diet Mountain Dew Caffeine Free sodas.

    Hmmmm, I haven't watched that. Basically it is camping in a field, with open-air Metal concerts all day for 3-5 days. Not recommended for girlygirls or people with ultra-hygiene issues. :lol: But amazing if you're not bothered and love Metal/Rock music.

    I've been binging for two weeks and just getting back on track today. Anyone who wants is cordially invited to just walk up to me and punch me in the face.
    On the bright side, I might be getting a tattoo!
