Ok, confession: I ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes straight yesterday at a good pace and was quite proud of myself since I am NOT a runner.
Anyway, beautiful day today, decided to go to the park and try to run there... couldn't bust out more than 15 minutes at a mere jog, ugh, such disappoint.
It sucks, because I have such great stamina... well for ddr anyway. I can play that game on heavy mode for hours straight and not get tired.
Fun note though, did find an awesome bike trail and did get to walk on a giant log over the river. Terrifying, but AWESOME. oh yeah...and pricker bushes. >.< nuuuu
I run better on my treadmill than I do outdoors. Weird...
I used to use the treadmill exclusively during cold months and then switch to an outdoor track during the warm months and I learned that even though I was still walking: same pace, same muscle movements, it actually takes a bit to transition from one to the other without risking injury. Now, at the time I was a speed walker walking 7 miles at a time, so going that distance for that long made it harder, but you actually DO use slightly different muscles when on the treadmill compared to solid ground.0 -

It's still working, but I just feel like it's not the "correct" way.
You're doing it right!

I would love to go out dancing tonight, but I have no dresses that fit me which I have not worn too many times already. I am waiting for a packing which has a bunch of new dresses in it. It is supposed to arrive by end-of-day Pacific today. This morning it was in India. Now it is in Germany. I don't have much hope!
Sorry, I have no experience with that shipping company, but wow - a "bunch"?! How many are we talking? It's like Christmas to yourself! Sounds fun. Share a few pics, maybe?
A PACKAGE with a bunch of dresses. Apparently I could not type yesterday! Three dresses. It looks like they will actually come today.
A friend ended up begging me to go with her, so I found a wrap dress in my closet, cinched it up tighter and went anyhow. Thank goodness for wrap dresses!
I'm really stoked to be almost back down to my lowest weight again, but now I have nothing to wear and very little money to buy new things.0 -
I'll never understand people who say that they are not hungry for dessert.
@Francl27 You and my daughter would get along famously! She ALWAYS and I do mean ALWAYS has room for dessert. Especially is ice cream is involved.

I am sure I burned extra calories, as I was going "faster" than the video because I was so paranoid someone would come back from lunch early and see me. (I am the only female in a 16 employee workplace)
Confession 2: I do not understand peoples' obsession with beards (no offense "Tincan"...I think you are great and one of the main reasons I come back every day). When I see posts with actors pre and post beard, I ALWAYS think they are way better looking without the beard. Just not a fan, I guess. That being said, I haven't seen my husband without a goatee (not a REAL beard, I know) for over 12 years.
I've NEVER seen my husband without a mustache and we've been together for 15 years. I think it would be really weird! Can't even picture it, really.
I've pretty much had a full beard the entire time I've been with my wife, with the exception of some brief unbearded goatee periods and Halloween '02 when I dressed as Day-Before-Dead-Elvis. The only variation has really been trim line and length. One time, I went to Texas by myself with a big, giant full beard and it was really hot, so I trimmed it down to a goatee. When my wife saw me, she was glad I was home but kinda mad because the bearded person she'd been missing didn't come back.

Last week, my daughter, my dog and I were going outside to play and the dog was hopping around like crazy because, well, she's crazy. So I threw her frisbee in the yard to get her out of the way & she jumped right up the 5 foot rock retaining wall. I said "holy crap". Guess what the next 2 words out of my daughters mouth were. I'm really watching my language now
When my daughter was about that age, we were looking out the window and our dog ran by. She said, "Where the hell does he think he's going?!" To which her dad replied, "Wonder where the hell she got that from." You definitely have to be careful, everything will be repeated, many times, at the most inopportune moments.
It's funny how moments like that stand out in my memory. She's 21 now!
Yep. Told my son we could not stop for ice cream on the way to day care (7:45am) the other day and he stared forlornly out the window. Under his breath, barely audible, I heard, "Dammit."
My language when I'm in the car can be *ahem* salty. When my son was like 3 I was relaying a story to my husband about another idiot driver and my son pipes up, "That guy was a douche, right mom?" I still struggle with my car language and he's 9 now.
Hahaha, these are both so awesome.
One of my mom's favorite* stories of me when I was around 2ish was when she had her new boss over to the house for lunch. I was playing with a stack of blocks when it tumbled down and my natural reaction: "Ho-wee *kitten*"
*Favorite now. Completely mortifying then...for her.
When I was younger, there was a kid a couple doors down that had a hard time saying R's. So when she asked for a drink, it came out as "can I have a dink?". It was hilarious because I was about 8 at the time.
And one of my cousins would say S as F when he was a kid. "Snow" was one of my favorite things for him to say, because the first couple letters were so nasally. It was even funnier one time when he wanted a sucker.

Isn't there a 2nd stomach for dessert?

My daughter tells me that her dinner stomach is full, but her dessert stomach is empty.0 -

My mother once got called into the school to meet with the principal because my brother said "sucker" on the bus. My mom told the principal that was BS that he got in trouble for that. LOL0 -

My husband shaved once in the 17 years we have been together and I couldn't even look at him. It was like a stranger walked in the room.0 -

If you love DDR, you need to watch "The FP"
Alright, confession: I watched the trailer for the FP and I just cringed.
Puts to shame what the actual DDR community is and how to even play hahaha omg I can't stop laughing, that was great.
If you wanna see a real "match" :

I've eaten dessert knowing without a doubt that I will end up regretting it physically. The most recent case was Applebee's with the Apple ChimicheesecaKEOHGODGETINMYMOUTH...sorry... I knew when I ordered it that I had already overeaten on dinner and anything more was going to make me feel bloated, but damn if I didn't near lick the plate. Couldn't move from the recliner when I got home. It was awful...awfully tasty!0 -

Wait, got in trouble for saying "sucker", or for saying "sucker" where the S sounded like an F?0 -

Confession #2 Fish (just like your carp) creep me out. I do not like to swim in lakes because of I'm afraid one will touch me
My nephew just turned 11 months and he's just starting to try to repeat things beyond "mama" and "dada." Granted, he's not really learning and retaining many words yet (still mostly just mama, dada, uh oh...) but he's at that point where he's starting to try with actual words.
Well, he goes to crawl away from my wife while they were playing and she sees he's got some plumber's crack going on. She goes "oop, butt crack."
Plain as day, without turning or slowing down, little squirt goes "buh crack."
We all died. Lol0 -

I just remembered my 2 year old daughter crying very hard when he tried to play/cuddle with her. That much of a change.0
Sorry.
