I did a Zumba Gold workout one time. After that, I realized that even at 270-ish and recovering from a long illness, I could still move a lot faster than the old ladies.-1 -

He is married to a Brazilian model. Now SHE is hot.
His accent kind of creeps me out.0 -
Guess who ate candy for dessert and dinner? I don't even caaaare and I was within my calories (amazing).0

Agreed, not a fan of lateness. I blame it (mostly) on upbringing and military experience. Probably landed me my bride, because I was pretty much always where I said I'd be at whatever time and she apparently found that trait to be charming.Confession #:1 I hate being late. It totally stresses me out.
I have a person working for me who is on the autism spectrum who totally does not get this (and many other nonverbal cues) and I have to tell him what to do when he announces a call or someone dropping in for a meeting. Possibly something going with your assistant?Confession #2: I hate it when my assistant stands in my doorway while I'm on a telephone call. GRRRRR.
That is all.

Last confession for the day: I hate it when people are early. I understand why some people think being late is rude, but I think turning up earlier than you said you were going to is a lot more inconsiderate.0

LOL
On the bright side (yes, there *is* such a thing, when it comes to toilet 'blockage'), *you* aren't 'backed up' (!) (is anyone else hearing some faint background music in the form of Kool and the Gang's happy-time classic, "Celebrate" -- ?
), and appear to be getting enough fiber (if you're not, it remains an impressive feat, regardless -- how many people do you know who could alter functioning of an 'appliance' by simply 'going about their day' (?!) -- seriously, be proud! -- "hey, y'know how well my body's waste elimination physiology is working? -- so well that, in fact, I just clogged a toilet!" -- 'own' it, I say! 
)...
Edited to Add: In the hopes that this might make you feel better, or otherwise not embarrassed, I thought I'd offer a confessional truth of my own -- and that is... that I cannot count how many times I've clogged a toilet (!), and my home toilet, specifically... low-flush models were all the rage, but they didn't take into account the 'workload' that might be associated with 'taking care of business' for humans ingesting fiber in 'more than sufficient' (and sometimes downright accidentally impressive and somewhat mindboggling) amounts... there are times when I'm ready to heave the darn thing out a window (the toilet that is, not the waste product (in case there was any confusion )), and scream aloud, and for all the world to hear, "Is it too much to ask that a toilet do its freaking JOB?!!!"... though on the bright side, I feel like awarding my intestinal tract a kind of Gold medal, given how first-place-worthy its 'performance' is (realizing, of course, that the day when any sort of Olympics involving this as an 'Event' is somewhere long into the future... )

I kind of had the same experience when I went to summer camp in France a couple of years ago. The campsite we were staying at only had washrooms with toilets that are built into the ground. The typical way of using them is to squat down but according to the remains on the wall somebody must have done a downward facing dog instead of a squat.0 -

Really? Not judging, but just trying to understand. If I am early to meet with someone, I'll just lol at myself and plonk myself down to wait. My mother is a perennial early-runner, my father is always late, I swear they got married just so they'd be on time. My mother gets it from her parents; on one memorable occasion, we said we'd meet them at a cafe at 11 - we arrived at 10:20, her parents at 10:30!
Although I suppose if they are coming to your house, that is rude, to be early.0 -

It drives me nuts when people are early to an event at my house. If they're early to meet somewhere, that's their own problem, but I agree that it's really rude to rock up to an event at someones home early. It cuts into prep time and forces you to entertain them rather than doing those last minute things. I also don't like it when client's are early to meetings. I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing making them wait, but often I'm still prepping, or have a previous appointment.0 -
Ok I was way over anyway, so I figured I'd try a Peeps from my kids' pile. It's not very flavorful. Not bad I guess, but I think I'd rather use those 28 calories on some chocolate or a caramel, lol.
I have an intense dislike for peeps, they're weird and creepy and I thank god my parents never bought them for us growing up!
They're creepy! It feels like their little beady eyes are watching you.0 -

For me it's all context. If I'm having people over I don't like it if they turn up early, as I'm usually running around at the last minute getting ready and don't expect people early (although I know who might be). If I'm going to someone's house and accidentally end up there early I walk around outside or go to a coffee shop so as to avoid bothering them before the start time. I also generally assume (unless it is stated otherwise or there's a reason, like we are doing something at a specific time) that party guests are assumed to be arriving AFTER the start time, not on the dot. But if we are meeting in a public place/restaurant (which is common for me), I think being late is rude and being early makes no difference (since if someone wants to sit and wait to avoid making me sit and wait by myself, certainly no inconvenience to me!).
Heh, enough opinion on this?0 -
Peeps aren't my fav go-to, but they are like Pumpkin Pie, it kinda wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. Or pecan pie, my first choice...0

My confession--I ended up going back and finishing off that chocolate I bought before Easter last night rather than just eating the serving I'd originally planned (which would have fit into my calories). It's not a big deal calorie wise, but I was totally thinking "I'm getting back on plan tomorrow so might as well eat this now or it will be tempting and I'll just eat it later, it's like preparation." That's so typical of my personal brand of fat logic that it annoys me I did this.
Ah, well. It's done and confessed. ;-)0 -

I think I confessed this before, but I irrationally hate all marshmallow related items. I enjoyed roasted them over a fire mainly because it was fun to set them on fire or just turn them black, and the fact that we were supposed to be excited about 'smores always confused me.
With peeps, I firmly believe that no one really likes to eat them, they are just fun to play with or pose or (of course) put in the microwave. Like other people and their weird conspiracy theories, I refuse to give up this idea, no matter what.0 -
I ate double my caloric intake on Easter D;, oh well I'm kicking my self in the but for that by cutting my intake and upping my exercise. I have no will power(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻0
-
Smores *drool*
Instead of a piece of Hershey's chocolate I've always wanted to try a Ghirardelli caramel square instead.0 -
I enjoyed them! (That's what I had for my Easter candy.) If I'd thought of them with marshmallows I probably would have been able to hold off, though! ;-)0

Welcome to the warmest, fuzziest, most therapeutic thread on MFP!
Nice arm post! Looking good! The sit on the floor weight workout is working!
Thank you!
It's a really easy way to fit in a nice little workout... I think @BZAH10 should copyright it, make a workout DVD and rake in $$
YES! Then I can keep up with this thread AND make money at the same time. Great idea!
Can I volunteer to be one of the demonstrators in the video? I can be the "needs improvement" model.
Oh, you can BE the person in the video. I hate taking pictures and would absolutely not want to see myself in a video working out. I can devise the program and you can instruct it, deal?
Deal! Except it seems to me there is always more than one person demonstrating the workouts... usually different levels of expertise. So we need more fitness models, not just me solo.
And what a great reason to buy new workout outfits (which is the only clothing I can possibly justify buying these days, lol)!
Yes, we definitely need others for the video. Thing is I really HATE most workout videos! Not sure why. Guess it's the yelling and the excitement! I really love working out, but I'm a quiet, reserved person. I'm not at all into all the "Let's go!" or "Do it with me now!" stuff. Clearly, we need a new, original approach.
But yes, either way, new workout clothes must be purchased! I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to having more workout clothes than regular clothes. And I have several pairs of Asics in every color combination imaginable. I need to cut back on the shopping.
Yes, on hating workout videos. They are always so perky! Drives me insane!0 -
Confession - still PMSing and I really thought I'd make it under my goal tonight... but nope. Also stopped making better choices about 30 minutes ago.
You have really been struggling with this! Does it happen every month like this or is it especially bad this month? Might be good to discuss with your doctor! (hugs)...or were you one of the people that don't like hugs?0 -
I just had to confess to my husband that the big tin of chocolates we had in the pantry isn't there anymore. Well... the tin is...0

Every month, it just seems to last longer and longer. Typically it takes me a week or two to make up for the extra calories I end up eating. It sucks. I have other signs of premenopause so it could be related too, and I'll bring it up to my doctor next time I see her.
Often too the day starts fine (like yesterday) so I have a bit of ice cream at lunch or something, then I end up regretting it later because I end up starving (yesterday it was after dinner) and I'm out of calories, and I end up 1000 calories over or something.
I can't complain that much I guess because I had 4 great weeks this time, when I really wasn't that hungry and had no problem staying within my calories 95% of the time (if I went over I just ate at maintenance). Although I'm guessing that's normal for most people...
Confession is that I've pretty much decided that I'm never going to switch to maintenance because I'll probably always end up making up for extra calories of my PMS week.0 -

We actually bought more at 50% off today...
Haha putting them in the microwave sounds entertaining! I'd like to watch them get bigger!

Yeah some drive me nuts. I actually found one I really like though (Les Mills Combat), which is shocking for me after 2 years.0 -
Confession- I am infatuated with a tv charector. I know the season is like way way way over, but I loved/love "Tate" from the first season of American horror story. Even though he is supposed to be the bad guy. And dead. And a teenager.

I've only seen it the once and haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again.
This is the movie that made me officially say "I will no longer watch animal movies". Not ever. Even now, the trauma hasn't faded. *sob*
I can't watch Blackfish or The Cove, also John Wick trapped me in a puppy murder scene, and while I don't cry, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Confession: Us not having kids and rescuing cats & dogs instead has made us much more in tune with animals as sentinent beings. So much so that we can't eat beef anymore...or any mammals for that matter. Too intelligent.
(Fish & chicken , on the other hand...they're just walking/swimming food with a chip that helps them breathe, breed & flee from danger, lawl.)
