2nd Confession: I haven't been called for the job I applied for last week, but it's still posted online so they're probably waiting until it closes, but why wouldn't they want to get a head start on interviewing me? Aside from my hulu watching on a friday afternoon, I'm very good at what I do.
Backstrom looked entertaining, but I never got around to watching or DVRing. Worth watching, OJ?
It came on really strong at the beginning, but it's mellowed out a lot and is pretty entertaining.
The first couple of episodes pissed me off because they REALLY messed up the fake Portland that they were trying to create. It was so obvious that they were filming in Vancouver, BC. Portland is all about the bridges--you can't just add other, random bridges to scenes and expect them to be plausible at all. There were 20 other bad editing/staging details. The whole thing about Backstrom living on some sort of old (tug)boat doesn't make sense. There is no place in downtown Portland where you could do that.
I do like the show now. The storylines and acting are good and they've done a better job with backdrop in later episodes. They should probably stop filming at BC landmark buildings though, like the library...it's a pretty obviously Canada.0 -

OH-IO!! Oh and I'm actually having Jeni's tonight!
Totally behind on this, but I dated at guy that was going to UD at the time so I was there all the time. I went to a tiny college in the middle of nowhere NE Ohio so it was crazy going to visit him there. You're from Kettering right (am I remembering correctly from earlier)? We swam against them in high school and always lost.
My confession for today: I had my first job interview in 7+ years after 3 years as a stay at home mom and it has made me such an anxious wreck I'm sitting with a big glass of wine still trying to calm down hours later.
Yes I am! But I went to Alter, I think you're talking about Kettering Fairmont high school. So crazy what a small world it is!
I'm sure your interview went well! A glass of wine is a nice reward 0 -
I was at the dentist this morning getting a teeny little filling, and I confess I felt like a hero for not having a little weep when they injected the anesthetic. Go ME!0

the latest:
-My weight has fluctuated a lot the past few days. I know it is normal to fluctuate day to day with water weight. All along it has fluctuated a few pounds here and there and I never let it bother me. But when it goes up 13, down 8, up 3 - all for now apparent reason.... yeah it starts to mess with your head.
-I'm originally from Ohio and went to OSU...it always blows peoples minds that I don't care about Ohio State football or any sports for that matter. I think it is a colossal waste of time. It is sad how many people derive their sense of identity from a sports team. Not that pro or college sports are inherently bad but people obsess over it way too much. If only people were as concerned about their own life and accomplishments...0 -

Totally understand what you mean about OSU, particularly basketball and of course their football team BUT on the flipside it's so hard not to get caught up in it when you live in the heart of where all the fun festivities take place!0 -

Ever since I was 10 or 11 I've been a binge eater. I remember babysitting and being in heaven because of the food the people kept for their kids. I would eat an entire package of dunkaroos, a box of pudding cups, a box of fruit snacks. I'd bury the evidence in the garbage can. Sometimes, even now, when I've overate, I find myself burying things in the garbage can due to shame and embarrassment.
I still hold a lot of anger towards a local personal trainer who wouldn't listen to me during my very first training session. She kept yelling at me to go faster and go harder even though I was a bit dizzy and out of breath. She just kept saying i was fine. Five minutes later I blacked out and ended up on the gym floor. She blamed it on my nutrition and nothing to do with her training. I haven't been able to step foot in the gym (only one in town)since even though I bought a 10 punch pass. Just the thought of going makes me anxious.
Man I wish stores still sold Dunkaroos.
I sometimes also hide the packages of food I have overate out of guilt.

kmcampbell893, there's a local business whose front office personnel I'm wary of ever approaching, and it has nothing to do with them, personally... it *might* have something to do with the world's largest jar of miniature Tootsie Rolls being perpetually stocked and available to (nay, *beckoning* ) anyone who approaches... and if there is one thing on this Earth which would seem to be my 'Kryptonite', I'd venture to say that miniature Tootsie Rolls are 'it'...
I have great difficulty 'stopping at just one', let alone finding a filled-to-the-brim jar 'compatible' with logic 'holding true' in the universe (who could *resist* such temptation?! -- how does that jar stay filled?!!! -- is there some sort of stealth Tootsie Roll factory 'in the back' of said business, and I don't even *know* it?!!!)...
...any jar with miniature Tootsie Rolls (or 'tiny turds', as some refer to them ;P ) *needs* to be emptied of its contents (or so it would seem, given my apparent 'mandated-by-the-soul' 'imperative' to action a removal-and-consumption -based 'jar emptying operation' -- and forthwith! )...
If there were some sort of spontaneously accompanying 'theme music' for my trepidatious 'approach' to that where's-a-force-field-when-ya-need-one, might-as-well-have-police-tape-around-it-'cause-a-'crime'-is-about-to-be-committed, godforsaken front desk... covered as it is with that should-be-illegal -sized jar, which contains the off-the-charts temptation whose name I shall refrain at this time from even allowing to 'escape' my fingertips (lest it torture me all the more, in *thinking* about the darn things, let alone 'letting go' of them in any way, and even if only in the form of the letters of their 'name' being 'kicked to the curb' in the act of typing )...
("...here, help yourself... would you like one...?" -- *ONE*?!!! -- how doth any soul on the planet STOP AT *ONE*?!!! -- pray thee, spill thy secrets of restraint!)
...well... the 'theme music' in question, commensurate as it is with the 'dread' which would seem to 'wash over me', as I begin those time-slows-to-an-eternity, ill-fated steps toward 'my Waterloo' (as it were)... would be... those 'ohhhhhhh, NOOOOOO' -esque, alternating 'sounds from hell'... that are otherwise known as... 'The Theme Music for Jaws' (<-- jaws?! -- *how* does something so unexpectedly pun-tastic only appear *after* the fact?! ;P )...
Yeah, a part of me wishes that place had a drive-thru, so I could avoid ever needing to go in... (or maybe I should just give 'em a call, before I arrive, and politely request that they temporarily 'hide' the jar, and off the premises (so that I'm not tempted to launch into a 'search and rescue' operation, knowing that those tiny, paper-covered and twisty-whatnot -'decorated', non-nutritive little 'bodies' -- bundled as they are in their wrapper-'suit' onesies -- lurk... *somewhere*... nearby... ))

Those extra like 400 calories to play around with make me feel full and I'm less likely to go over my goal. Plus most days I stay within my 2lb goal anyways, but now I never see red and that feels awesome.
I'm still at a goal of "lose 2 pounds" but I never ate back any of my exercise calories. So when my calorie level got down to 1200, I started getting really hungry and cranky all the time (what did I expect - my net cals were crazy low). This past week, I've started eating back around 50% of my exercise calories (about 300 or so more), and I feel so much better, too!mziegler01 wrote: »I hate the red numbers.

Uh...like bacon? LOL It doesn't taste like turkey, but it has a different texture than regular bacon for sure. It's much firmer and doesn't really get crispy. Try it!
But not really. I have decided that it's not worth the few calories I save. Life is too short!
This is the truest statement I've heard in quite some time! I feel 100% the same way. I'll save calories somewhere else. When I want bacon, I want BACON!
I usually go for the real instead of a substitute, but I really do prefer turkey bacon. It's always a mess to cook regular (albeit delicious) bacon and when I order it out, it's usually all floppy and super gross.
Hubby and I ate turkey bacon for quite some time due to it being less greasy. To treat ourselves, we bought the real stuff (a nice applewood smoked thick slice) and I forgot how good the real stuff was. We've now switched back to real bacon and I have been experimenting with different cooking methods. I lined the inside and top of a broiler pan with tin foil and cut small slits in the top layer for the grease to drip into the bottom of the pan and placed it in the oven. It cooked it nice & crispy but was still a mess w/ the tin foil. Last week I made a little packet w/ double layer tin foil and laid the bacon inside. I closed up the packet and used a fork to poke holes on either side and the put in on the BBQ. the first time I did it, the heat was too high and I burned it, the second time I tried it, i lowered the heat and it worked perfectly! the little holes allow the grease to drip out slowly and you get nice crispy bacon. You have to make sure the flames aren't too high otherwise it can start a fire and you just need to keep an eye on it. once it was done, I just put the bacon on some paper towel and left the tin foil on the BBQ to let the remaining grease cool & harden - then through it all way.
This only works if you don't save the bacon grease for other cooking. I would like to but hubby thinks it's disgusting.

I won $2mill in a poker tournament in 07 (tho I only ended up with a profit of $500k). Being 19 at the time I was verrrry reckless with money thinking I would be able to do this again and again. Turns out its not that easy and I wasted SOOO much money in the next couple of years, just being young and naive. Now I look back at that time and regret so much of what I did and wish I woulda known then what I know now. Oh well...live and learn eh? lol
I was also thrown into the spotlight because of this win, and really had to learn to grow up and dealing with people judging me and talking about me on forums etc. It was very hard on me, and I'll never forget some of the negative things ppl said about my looks. This is one of the reasons I finally decided to lose weight, to make ppl shut up.
I couldn't play poker professionally, I have 0 table etiquette.0 -

Starred this one to read later. Looks like it could get interesting.AgentOrangeJuice wrote: »Okay, I've been super busy today and while I think I've caught up for the weekend I didn't get to respond to a bunch of posts I would have like to! Anyway, how are the shoulder workouts going? You do realize that once we've mastered that we're going to add on, right? I'm thinking we need to start with planks: no equipment required and can be done while on the floor either before or after shoulders / arms. Thoughts?
Planks are awesome, I prefer to do them in crocodile form, with my forearms on the ground.
Personally, I don't think enough people spend enough time in Down Dog. Most leg discomfort from exercising can be easily avoided with properly stretched calves and hamstrings. After you get to a comfortable with Down Dog, graduate into Walking the Dog where you take the traditional Down Dog position, then alternate raising and lowering your heels. And that's my broscience & yogapanttheory knowledge.
Same here, and you know what? Even with all the shoulder exercises I do, these still make my shoulders burn when I do them. Guess that's a good thing and why they continue to be a challenge for me.
I can't do Downward Dog - I get a head rush and then get dizzy. I have an inner-ear imbalance problem, though, so that's probably why. I do stretch my calves and hamstrings every night (while doing my arm exercises).
I practiced yoga on and off for years and didn't mind downdog. After a few years of minimal exercise and weight gain I really struggled with this pose... I lost a lot of shoulder strength and it took a bit of work to get it back. I also find my hands creep forward. I recently bought a new mat (jade harmony pro) as I want to practise more and after reading many reviews figured it was the most grippy. It is definitely more grippy but my hands still creep forward. Maybe I just sweat lots in my hands.
Confession: As much as I love yoga, I HATE hot yoga. With a passion.
I don't really understand the point of hot yoga
I think it would just make me feel sick
Yep, it does...0 -

Hmm, interesting. Good thing you know that ahead of time.I haven't suffered from pushy, judgey cashiers, however I sometimes wonder if they notice what they're scanning and make up stories in their heads. I know I would (although I'd never say anything). Especially when it's one of those awkward shops where you only seem to be buying cat food, chocolate and sanitary towels.
Haha this made me laugh! I know the feeling.
I felt like that last Sunday when I bought six big bags of white mini Cadbury eggs (hey, they were only 95 cents each on clearance). I was thinking the guy was probably like, 'no wonder you are fat.'
I eat them in moderation...I serving a day lately.
