Here's my confession of the day: I gave blood yesterday. I had the juice, a cookie, and raisins after. An hour later I went to a meeting with people I had never met before...and passed out. So embarrassing! I then decided I needed to "get my blood sugar up." So I ate chocolate, ice cream, and more chocolate. I logged it all and ended up 1007 calories over for the day. I am going to have to work hard through the week to mitigate that!
I can't give blood because I pass out. Sounds embarrassing, but you did a good thing. Hopefully you feel proud of that part.
Here's the thing about giving blood. You can't judge yourself based on your ability to do it. My brother is 26, fit, healthy, super rock-climbing, kayaking, all-round action man. Passes out when he gives blood. I'm a girl with borderline iron levels for giving blood, 5'2", not that fit, yet I've never passed out when I have given blood successfully (about 12 times). Don't worry about it, giving blood is just not for everyone! At least you tried.
I donate all the time. I am 0- (universal donor) so they love me. As a matter of fact I am overdue and will go tomorrow as I took a personal day tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me. The blood donation places LOVE me because I am also CMV-. Which is apparently some virus most of the population gets as a child and toy don't show symptoms usually bit it can kill premature babies. So they give my blood to premature babies. I love that and am irrationally proud of it (irrational because I had zero control over that it's fate and genetics).
I get like that too as I am a female platelet donor (for cancer patients). I can donate platelets as a female until I become pregnant. Once I become preggers - no more platelets ever. I am genetically blessed with a high platelet count.
Weird. I've donated platelets a number of times since having my fourth child.

Wow, I was 30 pages behind on this thread! My confession for today: One of my bosses brought in donuts and I justified my hellish morning as a reason to eat two of them, as well as my regular breakfast and lunch. I'll definitely be going over today, as I plan to have wine with dinner tonight. I've gone over for most of the month, and my boyfriend is no longer making any comments about how he's seeing me progress, mainly because I've been going backwards.
You're not alone hellish morning here as well and my boss also brought doughnuts of which I ate one but seriously considering having another0 -

Is it vacation time already?!?
No. We're going to Oklahoma this weekend for my husband's God son's 2nd birthday. Who also happens to be my best friend's son. We are staying in a hotel and I'm going to eat all the breakfast foods tomorrow after I workout. I'm not logging a damn thing either. With all the stress of the passed couple weeks, we just need some time away.

I have a 10K tomorrow that I have not trained for, and it's supposed to rain. If my mom and sister were not also signed up, I would totally bail. Not going to be a fun race.0

Looks like a lot of us don't want to adult today. I have been wishing I was not at work most of the day. It will be a long weekend for me. We lost my mother in law on Tuesday and not sure how to explain to my 5 yo daughter that her grandmother is gone.
That's heartbreaking and I'm sorry for your loss @crosbylee

My first and only 5K was in May 2 years ago and it was raining and 40ish degrees outside. It was not fun at all but I want to sign up for another 5K really bad but I don't have anyone to run with.

Sounds like we work at the same place! The worst part is the donuts weren't even that good, at least for me.

You think that won't get judgmental or contentious?! ;-)
My confession: I was supposed to go to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday, but lied and claimed a conflict had come up when my dentist called to confirm/make sure I was willing to see a different person than I normally do, since I think they had doublebooked. The call gave me the idea, so I was like "oh, I don't mind, hmm, but if it's more convenient for you I can change." She said: "oh, no, let's keep it, we don't have any appointments available 'til August." I all of a sudden found myself saying "but tomorrow will be really stressful as it happens, I have a conflict that came up, August is okay," and so I moved it.
I was originally supposed to go in January but did basically the same thing.
I have stupid dentist fear (in part due to a terrible childhood dentist) that I need to get over already.
I am the same way until guilt gets the better of me. I've had a few aggressive dentists and now I get really anxious. But my new gentler dentist takes pity on me when I tell him I'm really nervous! I guess a crying patient won't help increase their clientele !
I don't usually have issues going to the dentist but take me to the eye doctor and try to do that puff of air test and my eyes will start to blink uncontrollably. I can't help it.
YES!! I have no issues with the dentist, I actually find it relaxing the way you are laid back and someone working on your teeth, I have even had a root canal, no issues at all. I am TERRIFIED of eye drops. I am a T1 diabetic and went 20 years without having my retinas checked because of that fear.....so glad there is better options now to have them checked, I was SO scared the first time to see the results cuz it had been so long, so good so far!0 -

I hate how during the week I can't keep up with this thread because I'm so busy at work and I really do my best to chime in a couple times a day! Then on the weekend I have no problem keeping up because no one really posts then haha I guess I have no life!
Busy day for me, I came back to like 120+ to read. I usually stay off the forums on the weekends though so come Monday I have lots to catch up on.0 -

Before I quit drinking a few years ago, I would log all my booze. It's scary how many times I would skip lunch to make sure I could fit my 3-4 cocktails in at night and still hit my marks!

Thanks, I will. I'm not one to eat crazy even when I don't restrict myself, I just cannot eat a lot of food. It's a good and bad thing. I feel ravenous to the point of being hangry, but then, I'll eat like 1 taco and a few bites of rice and a handful of chips and some salsa, then I'm so full I can't move. That is 100% what I did last night. It's pathetic actually.

I am astonished that coffee places can charge as much as they do for basically hot water. Even $2 is too much, in my opinion. *waving old lady stick!*raelynnsmama52512 wrote: »

I've been stalking Pinterest looking at work outfits because I want to be able to rock some new ones by January, dammit!
Oh, kiddo's birthday party is next Saturday, (all the foods will be eaten that day) and we're heading to the beach that Sunday for her birthday trip. I'm not sure if I'm ready to venture out swimsuit shopping, even though I need a new one....
Woo Hoo!!!
I really want to lose this weight by January so one of my coworkers will stop talking about it. The words "you'd be a pretty girl if you'd lose some of that weight" were spoken and they've stuck with me ever since.....
Congrats on your weight loss. But unfortunately I don't think it will matter how much weight you lose, your co-worker will still be rude!
I'm currently drinking a $5 cup of coffee, I love Starbucks but oh my god it's pricey (at least for me lol)!
It really is. I was going to Second Cup (Canadian coffee shop) and getting tea lattes, they are over$5. Now I go to Tim Horton's and get a delicious tea for under $2. Less money and way less calories, so I feel less guilty about stopping a couple times a week.
It's a steeped tea, made with whole leaf tea, so I'll buy it. However I refuse to just buy "regular" tea there, because they charge you $1 and they don't even put the tea bag in the cup!
I liked steeped tea but find Tim's is not strong enough.....it tastes like hot water with a brown crayon dipped it in lol0 -

I am not a fan of the cilantro. The chicken and steak seasoning is great though. With that said, I haven't visited them myself in close to a decade. lol (my employer has catered from them a few times)
I don't like cilantro either which is why I get plain rice for my order.
I thought I was the ONLY one that did this. I hate cilantro and I think it tastes like feet. I don't want my food to taste like feet.
I love you, Mo, but BLASPHEMY! Cilantro is God's gift to tastebuds!
If you like feet, then, yes, it is. I prefer my food to taste like other things, like, I don't' know, food.
I am an extremely picky eater. I cannot stand tomatoes, onions, spicy, barbeque flavored things, and the list goes on and on. Cilantro is just another item on my extensive list.
I also hate raw tomatoes except in salsa and onions in any form (Hate hate hate hate hate them! Why do they have to be in EVERYTHING??????? They're so overpowering!). I will eat tomatoes if they're cooked/stewed and I love Heinz ketchup.
We're the same person. If there is onion in/on something, that's ALL I TASTE. I hate when I bite into a delicious burger or sandwich I specifically ordered with NO ONION and it's the first thing I chomp in to. So maddening. I have a couple times just stopped eating because I was so peeved. I have issues when it comes to food. I get unnecessarily annoyed/angry when my food gets messed up. And freaking McAlister's always "forgets" to leave the tomato off my chicken salad sandwich so there's always slimy little tomato seeds all under the lettuce. What if I was allergic, could I sue them? See...irrational.
I've sworn off Taco Bell bean burritos for life because the last time I had one (10+ years ago), I bit into a huge chunk of onion halfway through when I said no onion. It was disgusting. I spit it out and almost threw up.
I also hate when I order McDonald's McDoubles plain and there's a few little pieces of onion somewhere on it and I taste them. I like those burgers, but I stick to their nuggets from now on.
I like cooked onions, in the right foods. I had to stop drinking chai tea for a while, though, due to an "onion accident". I had a chai tea on the countertop while I was busy making a batch of my family's favorite breakfast burritos. Happily chopping onions a stray flew into my tea, unbeknownst to me at the time. It was an iced chai. Took a drink, chomping on what I thought was ice. Nooooo. Piece of onion. In my iced chai tea. GAG! Worst flavor combo ever!!! Learned my lesson: no drinks close enough to my chopping area allowed anymore.
I like the flavor onions add when cooked but not biting into them, must be a texture thing. So I use big chunks so I can pick them out.
I absolutely LOATHED onions as a kid. Then I tried carmelized onions and it changed my entire world. I still can't do a whole lot of onion (raw or cooked), but they have a place in my kitchen.
I am about the same. Hated as a kid. Tolerant later on.
caramelized but still totally loathe the minced ones McDonalds serves on their burgers. YUCK! 0 -
