Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I'm 57 and I play MMOs. Not sure that this should be a confession. That I play them too much might be the confession. I would rather play than exercise, but I am finding exercise is much more enjoyable on a wii-fit than without.0

I can't stand ice cold water and I hate ice in drinks. I don't like ice cream unless it is slightly melted. Maybe it's because I live in the UK - it is not hot here for much of the year.0

I round down my calories burned at the gym to the closest multiple of 50.
For example...if it reads 296 on the machine, I round down to 250. After doing that, I try to stick to that being the truth even if I know I burned more. If I don't take as many calories back, I can still be right on with my eating and not go over. That's how I see it. And even if I stay low, I'd still be doing EVEN better than I think, hahaha.
That was an unnecessarily wordy way to explain that. Sorry guys....
Uhm. I don't know. I guess that's not as weird or whatever, but that's me.
I like the idea of taring the scale up by 5 pounds. I'd still do the same thing as I do with the calories burned, though. I'd still see my weight as whatever is shown on the scale.
I don't mean to be a downer, but you cannot rely on those machines read-outs for accurate calorie burns anyway! They are terribly inaccurate and vary wildly. Example: I input my correct stats on all the machines (weight, age, etc.) and 60 min. on the treadmill will show 450 cals. burned but the same 60 min. on the elliptical will be 900+! Crazy. I don't believe either one of them for calories burned. I do keep track of them, however, so that I can use that number as a gauge for my exertion level. I always try to surpass that # each workout.0 -

So, what do you drink?
I don't like ice cold water either, because it is harder for me to drink a glass at a time due to the coldness, not because I work outside. Our tap water is really cold because our ground temps are cold, so I run a filtered pitcher of water and let it sit on the counter as I drink it. It never is lukewarm. Still cold but not freezing cold by the time I finish the pitcher. Maybe you could try that.
Of course when you are really thirsty it seems like the temperature of water isn't a real big deal. In the summer I work as a flagger for a road construction crew. I tote a dozen or more bottles of water with me each day, most of which I freeze overnight because they thaw in the hot summer temps, even in a cooler eventually, because we work 14+ hour days. When I am really thirsty, it doesn't matter too much if the water is from a bottle with lots of ice floating in it or from a warm bottle, because my body just needs water.
I have noticed that the cheap bottled water does taste crappy when warm. I think that has to do with the source of the water. More expensive bottled water seems much better; for example Fugi and Smart Water brands taste better than most others, to me.
Wow! I admire you! I see those people out there working so hard in the blazing heat and am glad there are people who can do this because I'd faint and be a puddle on the road in about 5 min. Thank you for your hard work!0 -

I wish I could find a MMO that hasn't burned me out. Haven't found any since Rift, which I quit almost 2 years ago. I was playing probably 12 hours a day...
There's a Talenti sale this week and I bought 9 pints, while fully aware that it's a very bad idea. I bought them in two batches, and when I got home both times, took a spoon, and sampled each kind right out of the container (logged it all at least). It might have been 9am when I did.

I confess that I have no idea what an MMO is

Confession: I jumped at the idea of dog sitting an adorable Boston Terrier for a friend this week. I didn't say yes because I actually wanted the dog (that's an added bonus), but because I knew it would severely piss off my two cats, who are furry little ***chbags.
I know I'll pay for it later with revenge poops, but it was worth it to see the look on their faces when I brought him home, and I get to keep him until Saturday.
ETA: They don't attack him, he has no interest in them so they leave each other alone unless they cross paths. The mere fact that he's in the same condo as them just has them pissed off.0 -

I love this thread, it has it ALL!
120+ pages and it's still up... not that it shouldn't be because tensions have been kept to a minimum and the creepier stuff (like dead bodies in the freezer along side the ice cream) have been minimal or edited out.
Me too! My "confession" is I'm going to be really sad if this thread ever dies. I look forward to all the new posts every day.
ME TOO!!!

She listed all the ingredients on a paper and in caps put ORGANIC before each thing, i.e. "ORGANIC flour, ORGANIC sugar.." It was so obviously competitive nonsense ( listing the ingredients at all was not required or expected). She was the winner of best mom in the world for sure. I find this type of behavior so obnoxious.
And that had nothing to do with anything, except that it was annoying.
Confession: I want the tank top in your profile picture!!! Is that for real, because if so, I need to know where you got it so I can have it in my life STAT!

I started insanity max 30 today. My cats have never seen me exercise before. One watched me for about half of the DVD then joined me by laying down in the middle of the mat. I had to do all the exercises all around her. I have had them lay on my computer keyboard and on a book but I give her major props for courage to lay down in the middle of a mat where I am doing burpees.
My cat is the worst if I'm trying to do yoga, or ab work.

My cat runs up & lies underneath me when I do planks. Its like she's saying "C'mon! One more minute! YOU CAN DO THIS!"

My friends have mocked me for years because I'll make tea...and let it cool down. Or I'll order an iced coffee...and wait for the ice to melt some. Everything I drink is in this mid-range of room temperature. I drink WAY more fluids than most of my friends though, especially water, so there's that. 0 -
For the longest if I didn't have juice to drink, I didn't drink anything all day. I was chronically dehydrated for a very long time.0

I had to stay up late to work on a research project last night & I kept myself awake by eating all of my son's Girl Scout cookies! (He bought a box of Samoas at the mall yesterday) And I ate them. All. (And I only went over by 78 calories!!)0

Confession: I have a bad cold and the only thing that sounds good to eat is a muffin. I really should not be contemplating consuming so many carbs, especially since I'm not at all up to exercising today.0

I think it was from Victoria's Secret, but Im not sure if they still have them. If you wear a medium, I found one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTF-Victorias-Secret-Pink-Whatever-Im-Getting-Cheese-Fries-Boyfriend-Muscle-Tank-/171702603277?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fa45ce0d

I really love my Bud Light Limes. Sometimes I skip on food so I can have an extra beer. I am pretty good with food but I am a stress drinker and find I am stressed a LOT, lol.0

I have done the same with Nestlé quick. Then feel ashamed after lol. I just decided not to have the stuff in my house for a while so I don't feel tempted. Don't be hard on yourself, most of us do stuff like that whether we are brave enough to admit it or not lol.

Too risky!
I can easily gain 5 pounds in a day if I get off track/eat like a normal person/don't exercise.0 -

I just realized I was doing the same thing and decided that it was way past time for me to loose some weight. I have had a flat stomach most of my life and now I'm using clothes to hold it in? No more this has to change. Don't feel bad many of us know how it feels.0 -
