I completely snorted just now. Love it!ahhhahahahaha I totally did this, but I did it knowingly...
Success :drinker:
I'm having a really hard time thinking of any embarassing moments since, say, Jr. High... so that tells you one of three things: 1. I am oblivious to life and/or completely unembarassable. 2. I've had such bad moments that I've completely blocked them out. 3. My whole life is a giant embarassing moment, and there's no one shining moment. Womp womp...
I'm off to Wallawa Lake, OR for the week - My mother-in-law wanted a family vacation for her birthday. Apparently our cabin doesn't have internet, but others in the area do, so I may or may not be able to log on for a few days. I'll miss you guys!0 -
LOL I have my hen night (bachelorette) coming up on August 6th - I've specified no strippers, L-plates or handcuffs! We'll see what happens
Ok, MASSIVE panic! Got a letter this morning from the bridal shop saying that my dress is ready and I need to book a fitting ASAP! Wasn't expecting it back until early August so was hoping to have lost more weight by then! In my panic decided to move up to Level 2 of 30DS and am now shaking so badly I can barely lift a cup to drink from!! Idiot :-D0 -
I'm leaving for the beach tonight! I'll have internet (I think) but I know it will be a busy trip so I may be disconnected for a couple of days but i'll be back next sunday night! I start my new job on Monday the 18th, the day after we get back... yikes!
Here's to good food choices, not over-indulging, and getting at least SOME sort of excersie while I'm there! Wish me luck!0 -

When you go in for your fitting, tell them that you are in the process of losing weight! I'm sure they deal with this issue a lot so they will know what to tell you! Don't fret girly
And embarrassing moments? Yea my whole life is an embarrassing moment. Especially if alcohol is involved lol.
My most recent is getting a littttle too drunk with my fun coworkers at an outdoor German fest and when someone was trying to talk to me from the other side of the table, I just crawled over top of the table instead of walking around it like a normal person. Ugh so embarrassing the next day. At least no one seemed bothered by it lol.0 -
Wow I've missed a lot! I ended with a busy week last week, then took off to Dallas to see the boyfraaan for the weekend. Guess what I ate for breakfast all weekend? PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH MIXED WITH REESES PUFFS! Bahaha. And I love every minute of it!!! Ok- to catch up:
1. I can tell some group members have totally dropped off because it's the same like 5-7 of us in here. That's ok, less for me to keep track of lol
2. Gayle- I totally failed this past weeks challenge too. I had a beer without even thinking about it, and Sat night I had several vodka/sprites. ::shrugs:: sorry if this makes me a bad group leader lol
3. Like Angela, my life is always embarrassing. Most recently I've been waiting for a call from a client for weeks now and the other evening after work I was shopping at Target, picking up birth control, tampons and trying on Spanx and what do you know? SHE CALLS. I needed some pricing from her so what do I do? I sit on the floor of Target, surrounded by birth control, tampons and spanx, writing on the back of a receipt I found in my purse. It was hilarious.
4. I hope everyone got their jumping jacks in! I love them- I feel so invigorated afterwards. Also- if you are keeping up with your flax, which you probably are because you spent money on a whole bag/box- I put some in blueberry pancakes and couldn't taste it, THANK GOD. I think I'm going to try it out in more food, less smoothies.
5. THIS WEEKS CHALLENGES:
- NO BOOZE! That's right. It's a repeat. I (we) can do this! I want to go a week without alcohol, and since I failed last week, I'm trying it again!
- Take a break from the gym. (WHAT?! Blasphemy!) That's right. Give your hard working body a break this week. Try shorter workouts, yoga, pilates a light jog- at least 3 times this week. Your body will thank you for the rest!
Ok- here's to Monday and a new week!
(PS- I may not be logging regularly. I'll be on here, but I started a Wellness Bootcamp, and logging fresh, raw foods is time consuming and annoying.. Lol. I'll still be eating healthy, so don't judge me! 0 -
i had a terrible weekend, but i didn't gain, so oh well. i did have a rude awakening to the fact i am not 21 anymore...i drank WAY too many vodka clubs on saturday and felt like I was going to die yesterday. I will not be drinking that much, ever again. So i'm definitely down for no alcohol this week!! Lord knows I need to detox. I'm going to try really hard to give myself a 2-3 drink maximum at any given time, regardless of the situation. Not only will my body be happy, but so will my wallet!0

Yes, alcohol for me = embarrassing myself. Although I don't ever think I am embarrassing, I think I am hilarious. For example, we went out this past weekend for my birthday (seriously breaking the "no drinking" challenge, oops) and we ran into these weird kids in Old Town Square (pedestrian street filled with bars). One of the guys was on a sweet mini-bike and I told him that since it was my birthday he had to let me borrow it and take it for a spin. I then went on to ride around the square, past lines of people, in my birthday dress, doing every awesome bike trick I knew, shouting "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M DOING TRICKS!!!!!" My boyfriend made me stop.
Anyway, I am down for taking a break from drinking. I am also down for taking a break from hard workouts. Although I probably shouldn't because that's all I did this past week and I am seeing the effects on the scale, boo.
Hope everyone is having a nice, stress-free Monday!0 -

ahahahaha I LOVE it!!! I want to hang out with you :laugh:
And I didn't drink last week but I'm cool with not drinking again this week!! It's good for me And I need to give my bf time off from having to babysit me....
I won't be able to take time off working out though since I'm sticking to the Turbo Fire schedule pretty religiously. I do have a "recovery week" in 2 weeks though!0 -
I had a horrible eating weekend ... that's what happens when your family is from Mississippi. Everything was fried and way too delicious. Any who, I'm absolutely down for no drinking and I'll try to keep my workouts pretty light (though I feel like I gained a million pounds from the weekend). I'll step on the scale soon and figure out how much damage I actually did lol.
It sounds like you had an awesome birthday and I really hope someone took pics. Those will be classic 0 -
Just so you guys know, I TOTALLY resisted the beer last night! Woop woop!
So- what is everyone jamming to during their workouts these days? top 3-5 songs?
I am a hip hop fan, and the hip-hop/house mashups are insanely motivating for cardio! I like:
1. Until the World Ends Remix- B Spears, Nicki Minaj and Kesha
2. Take Over Control- Afrojack
3. Who Run the World- Beyonce
4. Sexy *****- David Guetta0 -
is it weird I LOVE to listen to lil wayne? I just let his whole album play while i'm working out, I love it!0
-
I listen to the Katy Perry Pandora station when I work out. But what I usually do is play a show on my iPhone on Netflix. So far I have watched every epsiode of every season of 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and The Office (for the second time). Yesterday I started Arrested Development. I probably look like an idiot laughing to myself, but I don't care! It makes the time go by sooooooo fast.0

Um, I watch all of those and love em to death!! Especially Arrested Development. I'm thinking of watching it all the way through again (it will be my 3rd time). I swear it gets even funnier!0 -

Ooh, you reckon that'll work? I asked them to order a smaller size when I ordered the dress initially but I guess they get so many people saying they're going to lose weight and then don't that they didn't want to do it LOL
How is everyone getting on with 30DS? I've been slacking on workouts over the past few days cos I had an assignment due in but it's all gone now! Persuaded my stepdad to have a go at level 2 with me tomorrow LOL he is my gym buddy!
Re goals this week? Afraid I can't slack off with a dress fitting coming up (esp after I slacked off during the week before my essay deadline!) but I will try very very hard to be aware of alcohol BEFORE it enters my mouth lol0 -
Whoop for avoiding the beer! I find that the problem for me is mindfulness, or I've had some without even remembering I wasn't going to lol (makes me sound like I have a problem LOL)
Song choices - really loving 'When Love Takes Over' (Kelly Rowlands/David Guetta) cos I feel like I can just dance through the exercise instead of concentrating on it! lol
I also discovered (serious guilty pleasure here!) that I love running to the Wicked soundtrack, a lot of the songs are at just the right speed for me to plod to!0 -

I am glad you said that...I have not been able to really get into Arrested Development - although I've only made it about 4 episodes - so I will keep at it. But the other three are seriously my favorite shows. I have seen every episode of all three multiple times.
@alteredorchid (sorry...I can't remember you name. I need to make a real name vs. MFP name spreadsheet)...I hope you show us pictures of your dress!! I am basically obsessed with weddings and wedding dresses. Like...looking-at-Facebook-albums-of-weddings-of-people-I-don't-even-know obsessed.0 -

I am absolutely obsessed with weddings!!! I'm so guilty of facebooking weddings of friends of friends. I thought I was the only one lol.0 -
@charc16 - looks like I have a bad memory when it comes to names too!! Anyway, arrested development is kind-of hard to get into because you have to really listen to the stuff they say. I think it's why it didn't do very well - most people either love that show or just don't understand lol0
-
LOL you really wanna see? Will have to figure out how to upload a pic here, it's the website pic rather than the dress on me though (obv LOL) - you won't tell anyone though, will you
I also facebook-stalk strangers weddings, I am SOOOO nosey!! lol
btw my name is Gayle, I put it in my signature but maybe I should change my user name too

Oh, forgot to mention - got to go for the dressing fitting THIS weekend!! nooooooooooooooooo0

It will be okay!!! You can always get measured again. Tell them that you are losing weight and see what they say! Doesn't hurt to ask 0 -
Gayle, I definitely want to see a picture! Get that bad boy posted 0

I'm so excited about my supper that I have to pre-share it with you guys, LOL! I'm making stuffed bell pepper, but in light of me transitioning to vegetarian again- I gave it a twist!
Half bell pepper (whatever color)
stuff with a mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, cheese (I use raw milk sharp cheddar), black beans, corn and quinoa or brown or wild rice (i'm serving my rice on the side because my mind will think I'm eating more)
crack an egg on top (yeah an egg!)
then bake until egg is set to desired consistency. You can also stuff with chorizo or soy chorizo.
I CAN"T WAITTTT!!!0 -

Gayle that is an absolutely stunning dress!!
Cristina, I tried making stuffed peppers once and lets say they didnt come out too good, my dog wouldnt even eat it! (I'm not a good cook) but these seem easy enough. With my boyfired (the cook) being gone for the evening it is something I might try myself with the chorizo!0 -
It's so pretty! You are going to look BEAUTIFUL!!!0
-
Aw, thanks girls! Obv not going to look like that in it but hoping a little scaffolding goes a long way :-D went looking for some bridal lingerie today too but it was HIDEOUS, hoping I can find something better tomorrow
Btw haven't had stuffed peppers for ages! Stuffed mushrooms are my absolute favourite 0 -
