    See ticker, divide by 7.5 months. No slacking off here!

    PS - 14k steps today, including 35 minutes on the elliptical.

    This was helpful and motivating without being preachy, condescending, or irritating. Thank you. You may have made a difference in a lot of lives with just a few lines of typing.

    Actually, I found it just a touch condescending.

    I found it kind of amusing, though I guess in a slightly darker sense.

    It's not my job to scold people on the internet. If they want to complain, let them. For that matter, if the OP wants to complain about other people complaining, she should feel free.

    In the meantime, I think I'll just keep bobbing along and maybe enjoy some pancakes tomorrow. That's after I sleep in, of course.

    Ignored urge to get my breakfast from MacDonald's, came home and made my breakfast instead! It is pouring rain here, so am doing a "Walk at Home" dvd for an hour.

    Just woke up and I'm eating breakfast so not much of anything to report for today.

    The other day though, I went to the store with my kids (2months & 2years) without my hubby. Now normally when I'm not with him I park next to the cart rack that is furthest from the store and take a cart out of it to make it easier to get them in the store. Well, this time the guys who collect the carts had just got done making their rounds so all the cart rack's were empty. Instead of parking as close as I could to the store, I parked where I do when I go to the store alone (which is as far away as I can get but still be in their parking lot). It was a bit of a struggle to get up to the store, but I'm glad I did it instead of taking the easy way out and parking right up front.

    Great post. I walked to the pharmacy, grocer, eatery and then back to work on lunch instead of driving.

    Bought 2 bags of popcorn on my way home for dinner tonight. Logged them first - and realised I didn't have the calories left :(

    Only devoured one bag. Then stopped. That was hard work!! It still took me a little over goal - but it didn't wipe out my deficit.

    (On the plus side - I have a bag of popcorn sat waiting for me for another day when the calories allow!!)

    Ate too much cake and blizzards and didn't go running. Suppose there's still time to fix the last one

    Got up this morning at 6am, took the dogs for a 10k run while the family was still asleep. We are on vacation and I did not want to ruin the plans for the day by running later.

    What exactly is "whinging"?

    Is it a foreign word for 'too impatient to check your spelling'?

    Went to work and constantly lifted other peoples' groceries, including many many cases of water, pop and beer, along with large bags of groceries and potatoes, etc. for many hours. Went home and made supper for myself and the kids. Washed the dishes, even though I was tired, then proceeded to mow the lawn using a push mower. Makes for one busy movin' kinda day once again.

    I decided to eat all the foods I love in moderation. I spent most of my life saying I couldn't have certain foods because they were "fattening." I've learned that no food is good or bad, but I always have the choice as to what to eat.

    Verb To whinge

    A British/Australian/New Zealand (possibly South African and other commonwealth) English word which describes incessant complaining.

    It's a bit like whine but not quite
    Whinging
    According to Wordnik, whinge means "to complain, especially in an annoying or persistent manner." Merriam-Webster defines whinge as "to complain fretfully." This is to complain in a manner in which one is emotionally strained.

    Whining
    Whine is defined in Merriam-Webster as "to utter a high-pitched plaintive or distressed cry," or "to complain with or as if with a whine." This means that "whine" can be a distressed cry, or to complain in a distressed manner.

    For instance, a dog can let out a whine, which lets its owners know that it is in distress but it can't whinge. A child could whiningly whinge that it was bored
