    After 20-odd years I finally got bored with my stair machine and bought myself a rowing machine (ordered, haven't picked it up yet). But I'm in the midst of rehabbing a mysterious hip injury and my physiotherapist has banned lower body workouts and I don't seem to be improving so I'm not sure if I will ever be able to use the new rowing machine :'( I also bought a pair of 45lb plates without knowing when I'll get the go-ahead to squat and deadlift again. :'(

    Okay that was more of a whine. Not very motivational or uplifting.

    Crockpot cooking is the best!

    :D you've motivated me to never buy a stair machine.

    This took very little prep time. Cooked 3 hrs. And the chicken could be used in a roll up. In a pasta. With rice. Taste testing for lunch tomorrow. One bite was tasty.

    I see we think similarly in some regards.

    i just keep telling myself how eventually we all die and stay that way forever and even though we can't change it, it's not worth rushing to the red light either.

    It’s good to remember this

    Yes. I'll season chicken in the slow cooker and dress it in different meal costumes throughout the week for various meals. Works with the kids too.

    Also, chemically knowledgeable.

    I don't think I could get into your pants at this time.

    Neither of us. Guess we'll have to use yours.

    You would look like a clown, member of ICP or dye them black and take up smoking clove cigarettes.

    Hmmmm. I'll go with the clown option.

    We booked a vacation to somewhere warm a couple weeks ago. B) I laid out my swimsuits (large to small). I tried them each on and said "uh oh"! The big one fit but I want to wear the much smaller two-piece. So, since I've slid backwards in the few months before booking, I am now eating lots of steamed veggies, fruits and lean meats. I eat carbs too, but I must "earn" them through planned extra work-out time at the gym. It is paying off! I'm down a couple of pounds and feeling leaner each day. I want my husband to see me happy and confident at the beach :)

    Jealous of your beach trip!!! Yesh for you!

    also thinking of signing up for some 5ks in 2020 and possibly a tough mudder next Halloween ...

    Dry January for sure. How does sober December work?

    If you stay sober through December- you win

    u can put a couple pounds of chicken in slow cooker with a packet of taco seasoning and a can of rotel for about 3-4 hrs on high or 6-8 on low and then shred it up, works really well as shredded taco meat.

    Yum. Tomorrow's dinner.

    I skip all holiday functions and invites as to minimize unnecessary food and alcohol intake.

    I am concentrating on my macros, especially protein, because if I eat all the Christmas snack food (I'm looking at you mini pizzas) I just get hungry an hour later and end up eating more unsatisfying food.
