    I confess that I care waaaaay too much about what other people think and I let it get to me. I need to be more confident in myself and learn to not be so insecure.......

    I confess that I never would have guessed you as an insecure person. You appear strong and confidant!

    I'm taking an extra rest day cause I'm lazy and making excuses.
    Had plans to go workout with a friend who has a science degree in sports something and I called him and told him I was sick cause I wasn't in the mood to go to a normal gym.

    And my excuse for not doing crossfit is that my arms still feel tight and I'm going to UK tomorrow and I need all day to pack, get the kids sorted and clean the flat.. See, I'm so good at making excuses :D

    You are last person that I know that is lazy and full of excuses! Not in the mood means you need a mental break! It looks like a busy day you need to prepare for a trip, rest day to rest your upper body and your mind too!

    I call this active rest and avoiding injury day.. :)

    I confess I'm seriously dreading going outside to do day 2 of c25k in a little bit.

    I feel you. I hate running. I signed up for a 5k in April. Physically I know I can do it. I've done the distance on the treadmill a few times now. Mentally it just sucks haha. Plan to run outside a few times once it's not raining like crazy to get used to that mentally. I'm determined to do it though.I've invested money in the 5k already by signing up so no turning back. You got this!

    Can't you do it on treadmill?

    I tried it on the treadmill, and I can't get the thing to switch speeds very easily. And I find it easier outside, anyway. It's not the outside I'm dreading, it's the running. ;)

    Working with the treadmill gets some getting used to..

    I hate that you are dreading something that you have put your heart and soul into.. Think about where you will be this time next week and the next?

    I think I'm dreading it because I'm not *good* yet, and I have a nagging inner perfectionist that really hates that.

    I felt the same way when I started doing the treadmill. I thought I ran funny. I probably do but oh well. You will get better at it. I'm in my comfort zone on the stationary bike at the gym. Like you said I know I'm good at it. Took a while to muster up the courage to get on the treadmill.

    I have a treadmill in my "gym" at home (my basement). It's sturdy but no bells and whistles, and changing the pace on it is a pain. I like it for a steady pace while watching Netflix, but it's a pain for the c25k intervals. So I bought the thing and run in a parking lot lol.

    I have my eye on a 5k at the end of August. I'm looking forward to checking that off my bucket list. I wanted to do it before I was 30... hopefully I can do it before 34 in October.

    The whole reason I want to run is because I've always been too heavy to do that kind of physical activity. I crave the ability to have that freedom of movement because I want to know what it's like. I can do an hour of lower impact cardio now, and I've started c25k to introduce a little higher impact. Is amazing to me that I can do it at all.

    Seeing people like you who have come so far is a huge inspiration to me and it means a lot to have y'all cheering me on. I need all the help I can get. Especially now, when I'm at the point in long term weight loss (62 down, 99 to go) where the shiny new excitement has worn off and that long road ahead looks so daunting. Every little boost helps. So... Thanks! :)

    I confess I am in a crappy mood, and I am blaming the BF, it is probably really PMS, and hormones from my recent surgery.

    Last night his mom (whom lives with us) was being her sour puss self. she is miserable to be around and basically sits in the living room from the time she wakes up until she goes to bed. (Which is when the BF does.) She blamed her bad attitude on me last night, and said I was hitting her dog. The BF confronted me about this, then tells me he didn't really believe her. Grr, then this morning we were snapping at each other and he called me a grumpy butt. I told him he wasn't helping. So his solution is to not talk to me. Today, I am totally okay with this. So I preceded to shut my mouth and not talk to him until I left work. Now he is mad because I didn't talk to him all morning. Hey this confession sure makes you feel better.

    I also confess I do not want to work, but I don't want to be at home where the sour puss lady is at. I think tonight I will be hiding in my room.

    I confess I'm worried about the next few days
    The people I'm going with are all out of shape and they eat a lot of bad food.. also they smoke.
    So I'm worried I won't have the self control to stay away from the *kitten* or the bad food.

    Maybe you could offer to cook for them? That way you can make something fairly healthy.

    Are you coming to the UK?

    Yeah, Uk but we're staying at a hotel and I don't have any way to cook for them.

    I don't know when a date becomes a boyfriend and my friend is explaining it's the words "will you go out with me" and it's stressing me out because has he already said it and I just didn't notice or has he not? These stupid labels and codes and games. I hate it.

    I thought "Will you go out with me?" was only asking to be a boyfriend in middle school or high school? I thought adults said it to actually ask someone on a date. People can be dating more than one person. In my experience I assumed girlfriend/boyfriend status once there had been several dates and there was a conversation about whether you were okay with each other dating other people or whether you were going to be exclusive.

    This. Until the word exclusive comes up, don't consider it to be exclusive.

    We've both mentioned we weren't seeing other people but never had a pointed discussion about it. Oh well.

    I confess that I've always been pretty obtuse at understanding the 'signs' women give, and that I am so very, very glad that I am not single.

    I confess that it is really hard being the only person in my family who is health conscious enough to not just want and preach about being healthy but to actively pursue that, especially in this family where everyone is overweight, two are obese, and everyone has health issues that include disabilities and major surgeries. I have spent so much of my time and life worrying about them which has honestly ruined a huge chunk of my life and my own health.

    If it's meant to be, it will happen. Don't rush it. Just enjoy it. Let things happen naturally. When one or the other feels it is time to make a commitment, it will come up.

    How long have you been together? Wanting to have a definition of the relationship doesn't make you a weirdo! I agree with letting it come up naturally, but if it's been months and months, I don't see any harm in bringing the subject up.

    Lol it's been a week. I think it's going abnormally well, but it still hasn't been too long. The friend I was talking about earlier said it would've happened by now, but that took me by surprise because it's still super early.

    Lol it's been a week. I think it's going abnormally well, but it still hasn't been too long. The friend I was talking about earlier said it would've happened by now, but that took me by surprise because it's still super early.

    In Iceland this works kinda like this:

    Boy meets girl, girl meets boy.. they like each other, go home together and have sex
    Day after they exchange numbers if they still like each other
    6 months later they've moved in together, adopted a dog and have a pet turtle called Jonny.
    10 years later they have 3 kids, a house, Jonny has died do to eating a lego and the dog now has developed cancer. The kids are driving them crazy so the dude moves out and gets shared custody.
    Thankfully they didn't get married as that's not really the norm here so they didn't have to pay a lot for a divorce.

    I think your games are better...
