Where do you live that you have never had a burrito? I am agog at the thought of a burrito-less life.
Not like a kebob--more life a gyro/schwarma with a thinner wrap.
I'm struggling with the thought that there are good burritos in Canada. If it turns out they put gravy on those too I'm going to be so mad.
Confession: My friend told me that sleeping more helps you break a plateau and I've been trying to get more sleep ever since.
I've had decent burritos in Vancouver, BC. No gravy. Not sure about the rest of Canada!
There is so much good Asian food in most of the places I've been in Canada that I haven't gone out of my way to search for Mexican.
As my husband says: Vancouver is the northernmost point of WA (he is a locally bred Washingtonian, and I- being a recent transplant- can't tell if he is BSing me or not..
OH! New confession: My husband had me convinced that sheep aren't in WA because it rains too much and the wool shrinks on the animal... Joke was on him when I woke him up at 3 am and called him a liar. Being from South Florida I know nothing of farm animals... College educated and all and I am farm animal stupid.
I live in Saskatchewan - all prairie - an we do not put gravy on our burritos. Anyone I know only puts gravy on potatoes and french fries. Burritos are for sour cream and salsa.
I'm Albertan and I agree. Gravy is for meat and potatoes, not burritos. Oh, Taco Time, how I miss you sometimes.
Sorry but gravy on burritos - yuck!!! I love gravy though being from 'northern' england and love it on yorkshire puddings, chips, mash, sprouts, cabbage.
Oh and they are so much nicer than a kebab and nothing like them.0 -
Yesterday I took a basic salad to work to have with my chicken. I ended up eating the chicken and buying a salmon sandwich. This was after having a sandwich for my first break. I really need to sort out my eating while at work and salads just don't work without mountains of dressing and def not for a 12.5 hr shift on an admission ward!0

Most of it is probably just in my own imagination, but I feel like it's not "acceptable" for me to be 30 and single (with no prospects either). But at the same time for the most part I'm okay with being single and THAT stresses me out because I feel like maybe I should be more actively trying to change that since I am 30 and let's face it, the window to have kids (should I even want them) is getting smaller all the time.
Sooo I stress myself out over how I feel and what society thinks I should be doing because I care what people think about me when I know I shouldn't. *sigh*
(is this too much for a Friday morning? lol)
Awww, don't get down on yourself. I have plenty of girlfriends in the 30-35 bracket that are also single and childless with no prospects at the moment. It's pretty common these days. I'm in a serious relationship and have had a previous marriage, but I'm 34 and no children. I understand what you mean about the pressure and sense of being judged sometimes. I still think though that being single and/or child-free is preferable to rushing something that's not right for you at the moment.
I get judged for being 35, married and childless. People seem to feel the need to query me on why we aren't procreating and then scoff at me because I say we don't want to. "You'll change your mind!" or, when I say I don't really like kids (I mean I don't dislike them, but I'm not someone to coo over a baby) they say "It will be different when they're your own!" - really? You want me to have them in the hopes that I'll like them once they're here?
As for Shiba - I was 30, single and BLISSFULLY happy being single. Like, no plans for any relationship, perfectly content in my singledom, free as a bird, independent... then this dude came along and screwed it all up for me
I was NOT looking for a relationship, it came and found me.
Argh, I'm 32 and constantly told I'll change my mind. Me and my boyfriend have been together 11 years, no rush to marry and no desire for kids. Really bugs me getting asked why don't I want them too. I just don't. Never have. Don't go gooey over babies, maybe I'm wired wrong, but I'm just not interested. There's no reason.
I confess, I can't stand most kids. I'm 33 and never want them.

I confess, I'm trying to be paleo for lent... but I'm still allowing myself a ZipFizz energy drink every day and that is definitely not paleo.0

Totally understand. You accepted it and logged it. Now wake up later on, drink some water and start fresh!
I have to admit, you brightened my morning with this. Not sure how but it made me more accepting of yesterday's binge (not to repeat, just less depressed about it). Thank you.0 -
I never log my weight if I haven't lost lol
I'm gutted though the last two weeks I lost 4lb a week this week I've put on 1lb :,( could cry ....0 -

I confess that I skipped breakfast & lunch yesterday so I could eat chips and salsa and cookies while we watched the snow fall. Final tally, 1,802 in, 462 out in a Spartacus workout.
Better?

Coke-and-Pie Day almost never gets logged.
That's the cutest thing ever.
Agreed! And because you're creating a memory with your son that he will remember forever it doesn't count as calories!
The memories will end up being more delicious than the pie, methinks. Now I just have to think of something similar to do with his sister!
My dad and I bake cakes together. Just throwing it out there. You could also make fudge with her, my grandpa and I do that. My grandma and I always had tea parties when I was a kid. Good times.
Those are great ideas, but I'm hoping to do something outside the kitchen with her. One of the reasons I take my son grocery shopping is to demonstrate that the gender roles society has placed on us are artificial and that we can break them with our actions. I'm hoping to do something similar with my daughter.
My Dad regularly took me to the hardware store with him and I love them to this day. Teach her how to use tools and do repairs if you are a handy guy....lifelong skills and often not passed on
to daughters.
^ bingo. My mom is a car mechanic, guess who picked it up? I work on my own diesel truck, fix stuff around the house, mow the lawn...anything I feel like doing. A lot of the time I let my husband do the truck work for me, because he wants to, but I'm perfectly capable.0 -

I always crave sweets. My trick is to buy some sweet flavored gum (my favorite is the sour patch red berry) and eat a piece. It's sweet enough to kill the craving and I don't feel bad about eating a whole bag of candies. Hope this might help you too.0 -
I did pushups and squats in my friends bathroom last night. I have a problem and I feel dirty BUT my god my arms are ripped 0

Friends, losing weight and being healthy is a process. If we misstep and I certainly do then we restart the next day to continue toward our goals. Oh my confession for the day is that the photo I am using is 5 years old and 40 lbs lighter than I am currently. I am on this weight loss journey for the last time I hope. It is much harder for me to maintain than lose. Well 2007 and 2008 I lost 55 lbs and keep it off for about three years but have put most of it back on. Now to lose it again AND maintain.0

My confession is that I've been sneaking Oatmeal Creme Pies almost every day this last week. I haven't logged them and technically I can afford them based on my Macros but I feel so guilty for eating them.0

Well my mom came yesterday with a lot of goodies and I had 600 calories worth of chocolate, brioche and almond cake. That's after going out for lunch and having pizza, cannoli cake, and 'having' to eat my son's cannoli because he decided he didn't want it after all. But I was still hungry. *sigh* I'm quite sure it's hormones.
Then I did the math and realized that unless I only ate 400 calories today, I would be over my TDEE this week (obviously, it's not happening, so I'm probably going to be 1000 calories over or something). Fail. I probably ate a whole box of Lindt chocolates this week, so there's that.

If I'm a few calories over my allowance at the end of the day, I make a plan to seduce my husband so I can burn those extra calories off and log it as cardio. Win win!

I messed up this weekend calorie (and alcohol!) wise on a monumental level.
Meal out Friday evening to celebrate exam results, friends birthday last night with copious alcohol and then chips on the way home, roast dinner with the parents today and then a glass of wine (or two) catching up with a friend tonight while playing PS4 games.
My confession is I don't care. I had a great time. I celebrated my own academic achievement, met some really cool people last night, spent time with my parents and then with a friend. I'd call that weekend a win, even if my diary doesn't agree.

My eating has been sporadic this weekend.
I went to bed around midnight Friday an didn't fully wake up until 330 pm Saturday.
I am trying really hard to eat better and on a schedule but it's so hard.0 -

Confession time....I've lost count :-) and frankly I don't give a damn!
I confess that I was thinking that maybe I should start keeping a list. I am well on my way to doubling my lifetime number in a really short period of time. Not sure what is up with that, but I am having fun.0 -
I sprained my ankle (badly) last night. I told everyone it was because I slipped on the shower mat, but honestly, I was trying to step onto the toilet lid to pour cold water onto my fiance in the shower and slipped (we'd been goofing around). Karma got me!
Now there's a massive hole in the wall and I can barely walk. Oops. 0 -
I confess that I am absolutely in love with what my booty looks like.
And I'm a momma that does what she wants, when she wants, and still has time for my two year old.
I confess some MAJOR assumptions were made about a parenting life from some child-free individuals, and that irritates me because we still save, we still buy what we want. We can still have fun while being parents and it makes me sad how some child-free people see us.0 -
It was raining out today and there was NOBODY else in the gym except staff. So I cranked up the eighties music on my headphones and pretended I was at karaoke. The staff may or may not have left the front desk to peek in at me. BEST. GYM. DAY. EVER!!!!!!!0

Me too! My booty right now is A+ for real, I hope it comes out okay with my weight loss!0 -
I had a bunch of organic dried figs this morning. I did not log them, but I probably will later.
This is the extent of my crazy food cheating. 0 -

I found the biscoff cookie spread during my grocery run last night. The only reason I didn't buy it is because that small jar was $6. Willpower, no. Cheapskate, yes. Whatever works, right? Lol0

If I let myself get too hungry I can get to a point of eating raw salami.. and cry from shame0
