    Wondering how difficult it is to install a new home thermostat. Instructions say a certified electrician is required... but I'm betting that's just for liability reasons.

    I wonder how many people have said this right before getting zapped

    Don't people, like uh, shut off their power before attempting life risking home repairs?

    Welllll---I'd suggest you look into that and start labeling correctly before someone does get hurt (or worse ).

    I have been... still have a ways to go though. Who ever DIY'd some of the stuff on this house prior to my owning it was, um, less than professional with their work.

    It's bad when you run out of your Halloween candy BEFORE Halloween. Sigh.

    Abs?.... do I really want abs ? ...

    OH I HEAR YOU ON THIS.
    I live in central Canada. We get, at best, 3 months of potential ab-revealing weather. The rest of the time it's hoodies or parkas.

    I am also single (and not planning on changing that), so the ONLY people / beings that would see abs are a) my kids b) my cats and c) my MFP friends list and the occasional forum poster. lol

    Some days it's hard to justify all the work it takes to stay lean enough for them to show, for such little reward. :laugh:

    I'm on day 3 of logging my food again and trying to drink more water. it's already getting old. lol

    Why haven't I lost all the weight it took me months of overeating to gain?

    Patience is NOT my virtue. haha

    That's about as long as I can go, too. I need a reason to care enough to try... and I don't have that ATM.

    Self loathing is a driving factor for me. lol.

    For me, lack of self worth = why bother trying to be better = eat all the Halloween candy.

    I did that... Now I'm circling back into "I can't take it anymore, this is enough". It's like a 15 - 20lbs cycle for me.
