Really proud of my dad today, he's riding in The Tour de Cure in Cincinnati for my brother who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last December at the age of 20. My dad loves to cycle but he hasn't done 100 miles in a long time! I hope to be able to join him next year!
That's great! As an avid cyclist myself, I encourage you to do it. I am sure your brother will appreciate your dads commitment and effort.0 -

Congratulations! That is wonderful for him and you can totally do it! Just make sure to get the Hoo Ha cream!
Haha oh most definitely! I don't know how men and women bike that long
I have done a couple Ironmans and several 100+ training rides. Not being a cyclist at heart it's hard. But doable!0 -
Wonderful. Nothing like justifying the over-inflated cost of something low cal by having to force it down due to an awful taste. Glad I didn't buy 2. (Thanks for the warning)
Yeah. I actually wasn't going to say anything since you hadn't tasted it yet and maybe you will enjoy it, but I have not had a single good experience with Arctic Zero products. But then, I also don't like the Halo Top stuff that several posters here really enjoy, so...it's good that you are at least trying it. Maybe it'll be a good purchase!
I usually prefer to just budget calories for real ice cream and gelato.
The only 'diet' ice cream I've ever found that I genuinely like is the Skinny Cow line of products. My favorites are the salted caramel pretzel ice cream bars (160 cals, 9g fat); snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches (120 cals, 2 g fat); chocolate peanut butter ice cream sandwiches (150 cals, 5g fat); chocolate truffle fudge bars (100 cals, 2.5g fat), and the chocolate mousse ganache sugar cone (160 cals, 4.5g fat).
The salt in the wound to this is I DO have the cals for something real. I was going out on a limb for a guilt free treat. I have never tried gelato. How is it?
Like ice cream, it depends on the quality. I think Talenti gelato is amazing stuff. I like it as much as Ben & Jerry's ice cream, but it typically has at least 50 calories less per serving, and a LOT less fat:

Confession... Since I heard the vegan police on 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' say 'it's milk and eggs, b!tch' I've always had this idea of yuck in my head so I haven't tried it. HAHAHA
lol! Well, if you can bring yourself to "knowingly ingest gelato", I can assure you it is totally worth it.

When I go to the gym I never wear underwear. A LONG time ago I basically totally exposed myself to a trainer wearing looser shorts when he was holding my ankles and I was doing sit ups. I know he saw EVERYTHING. But we just pretended nothing was going on (both too embarrassed I think...and its funny that Bare A**ed is part of that word) so to this day, when I go to a dressing room and try on looser shorts that don't have a built in panty I do the 'stress test'... basically stand with my butt to the mirror and contort myself in every way possible.
Very funny. I've exposed myself inadvertently several times. In my early 20's I used to not wear underwear with nylons (now I don't wear nylons). I walked out to greet a client (entertainment/movie studio industry) in a little dress and the wind whipped the dress up well above my waist. Yup, said client got an eyeful. Hopefully he was bleary-eyed from flying in from Europe that day but I doubt it. Neither one of us mentioned it. I straightened my dress, held out my hand to shake hands and drove him to a meeting with my then boss.
Oh boy. I wear thong underwear but after a couple of close calls with looser short skirts I bought some boy shorts underwear to wear with those skirts...just in case!0 -

Sounds like a fun day too me:D. Hey you got some fruits & veggies too, so a win-win-win. Are you eating the Breyers Oreo ice cream? *DROOLS*.
Tonight I had Angel Hair pasta & some Parmesan on top & for dessert a Chocolate rice cake with Jif's Hazelnut Cookies & Cream.
Impulsive Buy said they have new Fiber Cheesecake bars. Anyone try them yet?

Haha I'm exactly that way too! During the day I don't even think about them but once home I'm not completely comfortable until I've taken my rinse off shower, put on my sweats, and taken out my contacts!
Nope. Definitely not just you!
If I didn't wear a DD, I would. As it is, if I go braless I risk a black eye when I go up the stairs.
I find the opposite, I am a H cup and cannot WAIT to get in the door and take it off because of the weight on my shoulders.....if I was smaller it would not bother me as much I don't think....
Wait...an H cup? I didn't know that size existed! Wow. Impressive. I would hate that. Between running and riding I have always been grateful I am small chested.0 -

I confess I have been too busy to keep up with this thread so I skipped all the posts since last Thursday and starts again on 931. I am a bit sad b/c until then I read every post since the first page.riderfangal wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »I confess: I changed my afternoon snack after I saw what MoHousdon had logged for hers.

That is my son's favourite bedtime snack and since it is often difficult to get him to eat meat I slather on the PB so he gets some protein. I confess I lick the knife!

Just as a warning, that brand has the WORST reputation ever for tasting awful. I've never tried it myself. I think it's called Arctic Zero or something like that?
Confession: Since I have established that nothing is off-limits anymore and have successfully kept vanilla ice cream in my freezer, I used that to justify buying a Speculoos ice cream with chunks of speculoos cookies in it tonight. Also, it's nearly 50 C (122 F) outside, and to keep my beloved ice cream from melting into a puddle on the way home, I held it up to the A/C the. ENTIRE. WAY. I also chanted encouraging slogans, like "You can do this!" and "Hang in there, don't die on me!" and "Please don't die, I love you! I've always loved you!"
My husband may have sniggered a little at my expense. But my ice cream survived, so there.
Plus their calorie counts are actually under dispute.

I used to... now I don't care that much anymore. I still frequently change into PJs at 5pm or something though... which has been embarrassing a couple times when people showed up unexpectedly.
I change into PJs as soon as I get home too, and I do not get embarrassed at all....why am I gonna sit around in clothes at home??
I like the way you think. In fact, we should be able to wear PJs in public.

@Tubbs216 and @FluffySandwich - so this whole visa/work-permit processing thing is completely foreign (but curious) to me. So if something takes over 4 years to process, are you still allowed to work where you currently live, as long as you are in process? And you have to pay to apply to live in another country, not like a $20 processing fee or something? Obviously, ignore me or tell me it's none of my business, but I knew we aren't allowed to just say " hey I want to live in this country now" but I didn't think it was that difficult/costly/time-consuming.
I looked into moving to Canada a few years back (from the UK) via a work visa based on the list of highky demanded jobs. You didn't need a job offer, you just needed to be qualified and experienced in one of the jobs on that list. The processing fees went into the $1000s. Plus before you even get there you need to pay for medicals, English language tests (even if you're English), police checks etc., so it is not cheap. Sadly for us, they changed the list of highly demanded jobs right at the last moment. So we'd paid for all the tests etc., then couldn't apply anyway as that visa path was now closed. The super crap part is you have to be ready to jump when the list of highly demanded jobs is published, because each type of job is capped at a particular number, and if you waited the months it takes to get all the testing done, the cap would be filled. I was pretty bitter about it! I didn't pay any processing fees, but the testing was expensive in itself. Oh well, Canada's loss. Still, I think we could have made it!
Out of interest, where would you have settled?
This photo makes me laugh every time I see it, lol.0 -

We're going on year 3 without satellite. Netflix works well if you aren't dead set on needing to see the latest seasons of network shows. We're also too far out to get broadband so we're limited in what is feasible running through our phones. Luckily we're grandfathered on Verizon's unlimited data or we'd be in trouble since we average about 100GB per month.
But what about sports? My problem with getting rid of cable is losing live college football, NFL, NASCAR, NBA, etc. Is there a way to watch live games other than cable?
My son live streams a lot of that stuff.0 -

I ate a little bit of Half Baked last night but gave the rest to my daughter so I could justify buying another pint the next time I'm at the grocery store.
I wish some of my MFP's lived closer so I'd have workout buddies. Or I wish my husband would want to go with me, but by the time he gets home from being on his feet for 9+ hours, working out is the last thing he wants to do. I asked him if he wanted to work out with me while we're on vacation, he said he DOES plan on working out. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Hey I've been skipping the catch-up but was curious how the step-daughter talk went? or IF it went?
I appreciate you asking. No talk yet. As a matter of fact, haven't seen or heard from her since last Monday. My husband texted her last Friday but she's not responded yet. Her cat is tearing up my carpet in the guestroom and she's starting pooping outside her litter box. Enough is enough already. I want to let him handle this and not step on his toes or anything, but honestly, I'm pretty fed up and I texted him earlier that if he doesn't message her today, I will.
Edited to add. it's hard to talk to someone who won't return messages or never comes around.
I think I would have to let my husband know the cat has to go if she won't keep up with it. No sense in it tearing up your house.
Yep! I am going to make that clear to him tonight. I can't believe she goes a week+ without even checking on her. I can't imagine doing that to my Owen (who still hasn't shown up).
Sorry to hear that!
Obviously she does not care about the cat, or she would not be able to do that! I could never do that to my Kyrie!
Which, today is her birthday lol, I got an email from the vet wishing her a happy birthday.....she is a year old now...should have gotten her a party hat. She would have loved that!0 -

First time thing. Sigh. Oh well.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good weekend!
Wasn't this the day you were supposed to have the "talk"? Or am I completely wrong
Yes, he decided he was too tired to come over which caused another fight. We did end up talking Saturday. I'm going to try to work things out but I'm still torn. I want to try therapy and then if nothing changes, I'm done.
My heart physically hurts because I want to stay but yet leave. When things are good they are wonderful but I don't know if I can forgive, forget and trust again. That's why I want to try therapy first.
Now to catch up with the rest of the thread.
Can I ask a question, I apologise if it's intrusive. I'm guessing from some of the things you've said you live apart? But you said you've been together 11 years. Is moving in together something you've discussed? And if so what has stopped you?
Sorry I just saw this. Yea we live apart. We stay together (or used to-not so much now) a lot though. We had planned on moving in together but things keep getting in the way. I seriously think he is someone who doesn't want to make a serious commitment. That is one reason why I don't think this will work either way.
It sucks that I'm so in love with someone that I will probably have to leave someday. I just don't know how I'm going to get through everything.
Sorry you are going through this.....
You are right, some people do not want to commit to heavily into anything. Sometimes that works for both parties, but if you do not both feel that way, someone is going to get hurt....0 -

Rachael and I went to the Y tonight and did the bike (I managed 8.75 miles), some weights, and the rowing machine. She said she had a great time and I suggested we do it more often and she was down. I was really excited.0
