    Kristina: Hun, you didn't screw up. I forgot that I weighed in with Monday's weight (which is my official MFP weigh-in) and this week I weighed in on Friday because I saw everyone else doing it. I actually weigh every morning, so no matter what, it all works out in the wash of daily fluctuations. This morning's weight was 325, so whichever you want to use is cool :-)

    Hallie: You are too cute to me; everything you say just makes me smile. I know you probably get this from adults a lot, but enjoy this time and don't try to run through it.

    Megan: I'm crossing my fingers for you and the new "boy". There is nothing more uplifting than to have someone to sped time with that you enjoy looking at. I'm trying to see where things go with an old "boy" that I just randomly stopped talking to over a year ago. I think I just got freaked out, but now I'm ready to see where it goes.

    I come bearing a giggle for a Monday.


    I just wanted to share this with you all. I laughed to the point of tears the first time i read them. This girl has such a great writing style, and her pictures just make it so much funnier.

    Small introduction - She adopted a dog from the pound that later turned out to be intellectually handicapped.
    Here are her stories about The Simple Dog

    Meet the Simple Dog

    Simple Dog doesn't understand the concept of moving house

    Simple Dog has an adventure.

    Seriously. Read them.
    You'll be glad you did!
    I have had a higher regard for the intelligence of my dogs since reading these!!

    Oh. My. Gosh. I'm gone for a coupla days and the thread EXPLODES.

    Hi. I'm here. I'm around. I have two extra kids this week and next week and then two days of the following week and then I only have MY kids. Do me a favor, will ya, girls? The next time I offer to do daycare for someone else's kids...just smack the crap outta me, ok? Thanks. It's not that I just have two extra kids...but its THESE kids. The 6 yo uses language that would make a sailor blush and the 11 yo is talking about sex acts that I have never heard of. They have NO respect for adults, other children, or humanity at all. They have both lost furniture priveleges for abusing my couch and scratching my dining room table -- on purpose, with their forks, because it was 'fun.' The 6 yo will throw his plate if he doesn't like his food and the 11 yo will pout...out loud -- which makes. me. INSANE. The best part about this is my workouts have rocked...I seem to have some extra pent up energy to expel after they are gone at night.

    I am skipping my weigh in this week since I am not near a scale. If we are going by how much I feel I weigh: 510.9 lbs. But I could be off.

    Babyworms, I LOVE hyperbole and a Half. God of Cake is the ABSOLUTE best.

    School starts in 15 days. 15 days. I can do ANYTHING for 15 days. My hubby starts his new job in 6 days. I have friends coming to visit in 20 days. I. must. clean. my. house. I am considering the gasoline/match trick for cleaning. My laundry is out of control and I currently have a 'path' to my bed. I say 'path' because even the 'path' has deadly obstacles in the dark...so you must plot your route before turning off the light.

    Ok. Really, not everything is bad. Sorry for the ranting. I am going to go eat a cookie. Go ahead. Stop me. I dare you. :) Love you, girls. I will be more diligent in responding starting tomorrow, since we have a computer once again and I don't have to do it on my phone.

    WiggleSarah - Go ahead, eat your cookie. HOW GOOD IS GOD OF CAKE! I like the party. But NOTHING compares to the Simple Dog. I want a mug with the dog on it. And i want to buy her book when it's published!! Have you ever read The Oatmeal? his blog is awesome too

    Hosanna & Sarah: I absolutely :heart: Hyperbole and a Half and The Oatmeal. I have The Oatmeal's book and I will buy Ali's book once it comes out. I love the God of Cake and anything having to do with her simple dog. I've even performed some of the tests she tries on her simple dog on my dog (my dog isn't simple - yay!).

    Hailie: You look so cute and happy on your bike ride (and the weather looks gorgeous too - we don't get an awful lot of sun here in Germany). When I get sore calves, I do stretches like these: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-287--8969-0,00.html and I roll them over a foam roller (you could use a rolling pin if you don't have a roller).

    Laura: Once you get back on track, you'll be back in One-derland before you know it!

    Annette: I just finished up all my papers for my courses and I will have to sit for final exams in those classes in 2 weeks. You'll do great with the 30 Day Shred!

    Kristina: I feel you on the frustration. I have been all messed up since Friday and had a decent sized gain come this morning. I know that straightening out my diet, logging EVERYTHING, and drinking enough water will flush a lot of the gain away but I am still disappointed in myself for being so out of control all weekend long. But today is a new day, and I've got a healthy breakfast down and have plans to stick to my calorie goal and get some kind of movement into my day. dammit. I was doing some research on Vegetarian food in Paris and there's this cute Bed & Breakfast that I HAVE to try (they do dinners too) - they are all organic, vegan and locally grown delicacies.

    Pam: I have an AA in Vietnamese (don't ask) and a BA in Humanities (which hasn't proven to be very useful as I worked in the investment field before moving here and not working at all). I like learning things too. So far (this is my first semester), nutrition has been WAY interesting and I've learned a lot. The Hubbs is even vaguely interested in the things I've learned and has asked me for nutrition advice from time to time.

    Megan: I agree with what everyone else said- sign up, train with C25K and come race day, if you can't run the whole thing - don't. I used to run 5K's all the time when I was in the Air Force but then I was ill for a while and gained a lot of weight and I started running again in January 2010. I ran my 1st 5K in February 2010 and I alternated running and walking. I wasn't the only person doing that and some people just walked the whole thing. If you go at a pace that feels good for you, you'll do fine.

    Nava: I hate that too! (Except on other websites cuz I pay the $79 a year for the Amazon Prime membership and "free" shipping every time as I buy so much stuff from Amazon).

    Lacey: If I spilled my shake on the counter, I guarantee you that I'd scoop it back in my cup and drink it. How'd that keyboard thing work out for your iPad?

    As I mentioned to Kristina, I've been on a bit of a food bender since Friday. I didn't even log yesterday, so I honestly don't know how many calories I ended up eating. I've been kinda bummed out and I know I am eating my feelings (that and I'm PMS-y, which equals a very pissy Amy). So I am taking this opportunity to tell you guys that I'm done with it. I'm logging my food and drowning myself in water and green tea (after I finish my coffee- LOL). Have a good one.

    OMG Hosanna- I had never heard of Hyperbole and a half. I have just spent hours reading all her blogs and am sitting here in a pool of tears and snot with my cheek muscles aching...haven't laughed so much in months! Thank you so much for the discovery :heart:

    (Yay! Smilies are back!)

    PS Cake and dog are genius, but the hate spiral and why I'll never be an adult are actually ME!

    Sarah (wnt)- Those kids sound absolutely horrid. I do not envy you. Can you find some excuse not to watch them for the next 2 weeks? Or maybe just tell their parents that they are too much for you to handle and give them a big eff you! haha, might not be possible if their parents are your friends/family and you want to ever see them again. If you have to keep them, put them to work. Yard work or house work or something. There's a reason criminals get community service and hard labor as punishment for a crime. Could give them an idea of what their future might hold if they keep misbehaving like that.

    Ugh. I took the clear plastic screen saver thing off my ipod to try to straighten it and now there are teeny tiny pieces of lint/dirt and a ton of air bubbles and it's pissing me off.

    Mr. Reunion and I went for another walk last night. It was cooler than it has been in a while so he and Lexi ran for a little bit. I'm still dealing with the sodium from the japanese fiasco on Sunday night. I'm trying to decide if it'll be better to weigh in on Thursday before I go camping or Sunday when I get back.

    I so freakin love Hyperbole and a Half. The Simple Dog Doesn't Understand Moving made me cry at work I was laughing so hard.

    ETA: Mr. Reunion thought he was being sweet to bring me a king sized KitKat yesterday. It's in my desk drawer at the moment. Not sure what to do with it. Might eat one or two and give the rest away. I don't need it.

    Babyworms ~ Oh, well I live in Ohio but we went to South Carolina for the wedding. They just had the wedding on the beach and it wasn't "official to the state of SC. They could've gone to NY, but it would still not be recognized when they got back to SC. The official was amazing and he and his partner have been together for like 17 years. I cried like a baby because it was just so beautiful and you can feel how much they love each other. I've been friends with my BFF for about 20 years and her GF for almost 10 now. Wow....

    Update on me. I am down a lb today so there is hope for this weeks WI and it was all just a sodium shock to my system. I was so exhausted that I couldn't get up for the gym today so I brought my stuff and will take the kids on a walk/jog after work. I could def feel the difference when I got home. I just felt all huge and gross and my favorite jeans didn't button. Um...that is unaceptable!

    My son's 5th B-Day party is next weekend and it is usually a big "end of summer" party as well. So, by this time of year I hate to have burgers and dogs because it's already been worn out. So, since his theme this year is a "Cowboy" party, I was thinking of a Taco bar. This way, I can have fat free refried beans, fat free sour cream and cheese, ground turkey, whole wheat and flour tortillas and tons of veggies for the tacos/nachos. What do ya'll think?

    Sarah(thes) You are so close to Onederland!! Get it girl!

    We had lots of ladies with super losses this week. Great job!!

    Haillie: Adoraple pic! You have such a great smile! Gorgeous!

    Sarah (wiggle): Eeek. You brave soul. I love my son to bits, but I'm not a "kid" person. Other people's children make me squeamish.

    Rikki: For my sons bday party last year I did a taco bar. It was easy for me to throw together and everyone LOVED it because it was different.

    Went to the doc yesterday and I am down 11 pounds from last years appt. The nurse was so encouraging!!

    I feel so sick today. And yet again, won't make it to the gym. We are going to a baseball game tonight. I might do a few laps around the stadium and use my runkeeper app to log my distance/time/pace. Anywho, I battled a headache yesterday, went to bed early, but it didn't help. No I'm nauseated and have a headache. Lovely!
  • Hosanna....OMG, I laughed so hard I cried last night. I'm going to go back and read some more today, but I read your post about five minutes until my bedtime last night. I feel like such a weeny when I say I missed my bed time. But if Katheryne doesn't get at least 7.5-8 hours of sleep, Katheryne is an absolute terror to deal with in the morning....Anyway....Simple dog was a riot. I could so feel the pain about moving. I took a "helper dog" and six cats on a two week move from Kentcuky, across Canada, to Alaska a couple of years back. The humans were practactly jibbering idiots by the time we arrived.


    Sarah...So sorry to hear about the problem kids. Hopefully your servitude will not drag on too bad for you.


    Rikki...I think taco bar sounds fantastic. And the kids will probably love it, 'cause I imagine they might be tired of hamburgers and hotdogs too.

    Weight was WAY up this morning. I've been over on sodium for three days in a row now. I've got to get this in gear or none of my new clothes will fit on vacation. I've got just enough days to salt detox before I leave on Friday if I behave for the rest of the week.

    Well, more later, work "officially" starts in three minutes...Here's hoping for less chaos than yesterday.

    I'm gonna attempt to reply to most everyone.. but first, here is me whining. I still feel like crap. Not sure why. Run down, super tired, etc. I noticed last week when I got the half an hour of legs/back done before I gave up (because of the hubs and daughter) that my heart was pounding and hurting. I figured it was because I hadn't done that program in so long and my family was really pissing me off. But now I'm super worn out and tired and am wondering if my heart has a hole in it or something lol. Last night it hurt a bit (always on the right side if that means anything) when I was working out and got my HR elevated. Good lord. Don't you just love when your mind wanders where it shouldn't? At any rate, I am going to make my annual exam appt finally and get checked out.

    I did manage to get through chest/back yesterday...it took an hour and a half (its a 58 minute program) and that is with me ff a few moves. I paused a lot. My husband and kid are going through a weird phase with each other so there was drama. Ugh. Bleh. I'd go home and sleep today if my hubs didn't have the day off and I didn't need to save my vacay time for Europe in four weeks (four weeks!)

    Nava - i also hate that about amazon shipping.

    Kristina - hold your head up. You've never stopped running or exercising despite Life getting in the way. So your habits have totally changed for the better. The weight gain is negligable and I bet it will be gone in a day or two.

    Annette - not sure where you saw that about baby Laceys. In three words: OH HELL NO! I am so freaking done having kids. One is more than enough for me. I went to see my best friend who has a two month old and my other close friend who has a one week old last weekend. Babies are not for me. I like your work out schedule. Keep it up girl!

    Laura - I know you will be sufficiently in onderland shortly :)

    Hailie - super cute pic!

    Hosanna - I've not read any of those things and just trying to think about them makes my brain hurt this morning lol. However, I am in desperate need for a good laugh so I will get on there later today.

    Sarah wnt - I'd get those kids out of my house if they were causing that much damage to furniture and have such bad mouths and no respect. Yuck! Props to you for putting up with it.

    Amy - the keyboard is small but works wonders so as soon as I get my bluetooth mouse work ordered for me I will be good to go and am now getting to avoid lugging that damn laptop all over Europe! I looked at that B&B and its super cute...

    Kendal - I'd suck down that kitkat if I was in the cube with you. Just for you. To help you out. LOL.

    LadyG - my daughter turns 5 Sept 7 - her first day of Kindergarten...we are doing a bowling birthday party on the 10th.

    Rain - congrats on being down 11 lbs!

    Katherynne - where are you going on vacay? Did I miss that?
  • Leave for Vegas on Friday morning. Have a flippin SIX hour layover in Seattle, erg, and don't get into Vegas until 11:30 that night. While that is extremely annoying, at least the sun will be down when we land and I will have a chance to get some SPF 1 Billion. I have extremely fair skin, usually when the Hubbs and I vacation in the southwest we go in late October early March. I'm afaid to see what will happen to my skin in August. (The first time I went to visit his family in Arizona, in March, I burned so bad I blistered--and was wearing SPF 50 at the time.)

    Anyway...Saturday is the Hubb's grandparent's 65 wedding annivasary, so we have an all day party. But the rest of the trip -- staying 'til Tuesday--is all for us. Looking forward to swimming and food ('cause it's not like the arctic waters up here are very pleasant this, or any, time of the year--and food options are extremely limited.)

    By the way, I'll be posting this weeks weight on Friday morning, early, before I leave for the airport.

    Katheryne: Wow, a 6 hour layover is a bit extreme. Are you gonna leave the airport and do something in Seattle to kill time? That's what I'd do. My friend came to visit me last Christmas and he had an 8 hour layover in Frankfurt, so he left the airport and went downtown to look around. Much better than hanging in an airport for all that time, I think.

    Lacey: Maybe you should take a rest, are you getting sick? Are you stressed out? I thought I was having heart issues last year and they did all the heart tests (echo, EKG and some monitor thing I wore for 24 hours) and everything was negative. It turned out to be panic attacks. I don't deal with stress well.

    rain: I hope you feel better soon!

    Rikki: A cowboy party sounds like a cool idea! Try this recipe for a super-tasty and yet, lower fat, 7 layer taco dip: http://allrecipes.com/customrecipe/61057907/healthier-seven-layer-taco-dip/detail.aspx I eat it with carrots but The Hubbs and The Kid eat it with bakes tortilla chips.

    Kendal: I've done that with my iPhone screen protector before. Those bubbles NEVER go away. I eventually got so sick of it that I replaced it with a different protector.

    I did my Wii EA Active workout standing up today!! Yay for being able to bear my own weight! We also took Loki in to get neutered and now he's bumping around the house like a drunk (he has one of those Elizabethan collars on to keep him from licking his stitches but a side effect of the collar is that he has absolutely no idea how big his head is now so he's constantly bumping into things). It's sad...but funny (I know, I shouldn't laugh at my crippled dog...but I do it anyway). Today has been a good eating day for me (finally). I kept under my calories, I drank tons of water and several cups of green tea and absolutely NO diet soda. One day at a time...

    I'm having one of those days where I'm so frustrated the only thing I can do is laugh. Stupid stupid people in the company doing stupid things. People already working my assignments which is probably the fault of the guy who assigns our work, meaning he assigned them to both of us. Then the work items are all kinds of effed up. I'm going to run out of work simply because I have so much crap I can't do. Plus I have to work an extra 2 hours tonight. Not overtime though. I've been making up 8 hours so I can have Friday off to go to the beach.

    I ate half the kit kat and gave the other half away.

    Amy- you're doing great not to give in to diet sodas. I'm great while I'm at work, but as soon as I get home, I'm popping open a diet soda and drinking absentmindedly.
  • Laceylala
    Laceylala Posts: 3,094 Member
    Katherynne- have you ever read any of the articles on what the numbers on the sunblock bottles mean? I only ever use SPF 30 because after I tried 70 and burned to a blistery crisp I finally looked it up and realized that sticking with 30 and reapplying often was right for me. The higher the number doesn't always offer the best protection.

    http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/sun-care/spf.htm

    http://www.arizonasun.com/default.aspx - also if you can find this sunblcok, it is hands down The Best I've ever found. Its not sticky or greasy and lasts. I used it in AZ when we were there on vacay in June and didn't burn at all.

    At any rate, now I remember - enjoy the MGM. If you are looking for good steak dinner while you are there Craft Steak at MGM is pretty damn good.. especially if you do the tasting menu. Its expensive but the food just keeps on coming and coming and is worth the cost in the end.

    Amy - I've not had panic attacks before so I'm not sure..And I'd be laughing at the dog too. I cracked up when I brought my cat home and he walked sideways for a few hours until he recovered from the medicine.

    Amy: Great job on the exercise!! Keep at it and you'll be back to normal in no time...better than normal becasue your foot will work as designed!! And, I remember when we had a rock removed from our dog's gut, I came home to Hubby wrapping the stupid dog, in the cone collar in MY robe on the couch. Why MY robe? Why not HIS robe? His answer...she's a girl. She wants a pink robe. Oye.

    Kendal: That is the reason, right there, that we don't have any diet soda in this house...I would much rather have soda than water any time of day. Sorry about the incompetence of your co-workers and the extra long day on top of it. Oye.

    Lacey: I second you on the Craft Steak recommedation. And as for the heart pain...um, yes. Please get that checked out. I am eagerly awaiting your update on that.

    Katheryn: I so wish leaving the airport was an option for you, but since Seattle Airport is actually stranded somewhere between Seattle and Tacoma, there isn't much there. :-/ It's a pretty nice airport, though. Some good restaurants... I don't know if they ar 6-hour good, though. :(



    So today is going much better. I have decided that the rules in this house don't change just because you are new here. I made the 11 yo clean up his mess around the toilet in the bathroom. 11 years old... he should know how to aim by now. My 4 yo knows better than to miss. The 6 yo told me he didn't want to eat his breakfast and I told him that's fine...I'll save it for your lunch. I'm not a short-order cook. He threw a fit and instantly found himself in a timeout. I put him in front of the oven -- which he proceeded to kick. When his time was up, I handed him the Windex and a cloth to clean his footprints off the glass door. He told me his mom does it for him. I explained that I didn't kick the door, why should I clean the footprints off? He did it without arguing further. Now, they are watching a show on Netflix and then I am going to brave Costco with them. Prayers requested. Will update later... In other news, Hubby came home with a violin for the 4yo last night. I don't know what made him think that was a good idea -- but here we go! Lessons scheduled starting in November. And...he told me he wants another kid. This is not the month to be asking me for that. Really. And finally, I have ZUMBA tonight. I can hardly wait. It's a great outlet for this pent up energy I have. I. can't. wait!!

    Sarah - Right side of Costco near the beer and wine - duct tape in things of four. You can tape the two together and then pop a bottle of wine or beer to calm your nerves if they get too out of hand. You are one brave soul. Iwouldn't even attempt that without some sort of preloading of zanax and vicadin or something lol.

    Kendal - deep breathes girl. I am going the rounds with some one here at work all because their boss got in the middle of something that was nothing and made it a big deal before even looking into the matter at hand. Which was nothing. At all. LOL.

    Alas I am not a soda drinker. At all. Iced tea is my thing. No sugar.

    Sarah-Good for you disciplining him like that! I feel like too often I see kids running around doing whatever they want, with no regard for anyone around them, and the parents (or person taking care of them) acts like nothing is wrong. Great job!

    Speaking of kids running amok. I was kind of shocked to see the amount of kids at the Alberta Street Fair in Portland this weekend running around with no parents in sight. they were around 8-10 years old I would guess. They were fairly well behaved but definitely no parents around because I saw them all over the place.
    For those of you who haven't been to Portland, especially Alberta St...well it used to be straight up ghetto. Literally. And now its being refurbed though I would still consider the area up and coming, five years out sort of deal. I wouldn't let my kid run around that area doing that *kitten*. Well I don't even let her in the front yard unless we are out there with her, so...

    Katie: Hiya!

    Lacey: I'm like you- I had a tendency to keep Gabe in my sight most of the time. That kind of changed once we moved to Germany though. German kids will walk around (to the park, to school, to the freibad, to their friends' houses) from a super-young age (like, 5 years old). It took me a while to get used to it. Gabe has a 7 year old German friend that lives on the other side of our town (about a 10 to 15 minute walk from here) and that kid makes that walk alone. Gabe freaked out the first time I told him he could go walk over to his friend's house. It's a different cultural mindset here. And there's not a lot of crime. And what crime there is, is never EVER aimed at kids.

    Sarah: Did you mention to us why you are watching these hellions? Are they family or are you doing someone a favor or something? Bless your heart for doing it, I cannot stand to watch other people's kids. I'm so glad that both me and The Hubbs are on the same page of not wanting any more kids.

    Kendal: I'm sorry work is sucking for you today. Good job giving away half the kit kat.

    I saw someone talking about the oil cleansing method for cleaning their face somewhere on the MFP boards today and so I thought I'd try it. Here's some info about it if you are like me and had never heard of it before: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/OIL-CLEANSING-METHOD-Hi-t141871.html - So far my skin feels really soft and moisturized but not greasy. We'll see how it goes as time goes along.

    Amy - I'd love to live in a place like that where Gracie could walk around and not be in danger. I'm doing the oil cleansing method. I still have to put some oil mix on my face after the shower, but my skin feels good and WAY less greasy on the forehead which is totally cool!
    I'm using 10% castor and 90% evoo..what did you end up with?


    Everyone should make my salad:
    blanched french green beans
    cherry tomatoes
    corn
    feta cheese
    greek olives
    steamed cooled lentils
    a mix of olive oil, white balsamic vinegar and champaigne vinegar, italian spices, salt and pepper


    YUMMMMMMM

    Amy I've been making Gracie this salad two days now for lunch and finally decided to try it myself. She eats it by the bowl full. I love that kid and her penchant for fruits and veggies and cheese. She rarely ever eats meat. Its inneresting.

    Amy have you seen this spread in Germany?? I MUST, I repeat, MUST, bring some home with me.

    I am like a rabid dog when the airlines hand those out going to Canada. I will steal them from other people if I can.


    EDIT: I ordered some of the spread and the cookies from amazon. YEAY!

    Just getting into my actual office today. Had meetings at another building all morning. Me and 6 men who love to hear themselves talk. Yeeeesh. Also, WHY do men have to sit with their legs SO FAR APART?! I saw so much junk this morning that I had no interest in seeing.

    Nava - I have one newer customer treating me like a Girl today. I want to nut punch him.

    Nava: I believe they sit that way to display their junk (either consciously or subconsciously) - it's gross.

    Lacey: I've seen the cookies but not the spread. I'll have a look for it at Real (it's like Target), that sounds good. That breakfast bake looks too good not to make. Yay!

    So I was sitting here at my computer being grumpy (as I am totally PMSing) when The Hubbs comes over and smiles that "I want something" smile (you people with significant others know the smile I'm talking about - it's the one they hit you with before they buy a new car or something) and then, noticing my grumpiness, he asked what was wrong. I told him I was grumpy. He said - and I quote: "Oh...I can fix that....take your pants off..."

    Boys are funny.

    ...it worked though. :wink:

    Last night I was woken up by Chris at about 3 am by him shaking me uncontrollably and yelling "Honey! Get up! Your turtle got loose!" He then proceeded to jump out of bed and say "I'm going to turn on the lights so we can find him."

    We have no pets. I told him to come back to bed, and he did.

    The joys of being married to a sleep-talker. :smile:


    Love to you all, you guys crack me up and I adore you. And for the random people who asked, I'M NEVER LEAVING THIS GROUP. You guys are my inspiration and my friends.

    And now you can go about your days again, just like I have to. 3 day work week means I am hella-swamped.
