    Hello, all! Good to be back, loving this thread! I had a terrific day, ate supper at a little café on the beach as a fog rolled in. Grilled fish tacos. The weather is warming up this week, so it's time to pull out the bike...no...Harley.

    We just finished the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Trail Ride a couple weeks ago. That was fun, but I put on some poundage that must come off. What can I say, alcohol makes me stupid! Made terrible choices blah blah blah...now it's time to get back on that tread climber and acknowledge my food!

    I'll check in with y'all in the AM!

    Drank far too much last night to celebrate the end of the term, then this happened.

    I can't decide if I'm happy I fell asleep so didn't eat the extra 1200 calories or devastated that I didn't get to enjoy a one off treat.

    Hi all- Thought I'd join in, as I could use a mite more engagement with /commitment to MFP.

    I had a huge workout today, spinning followed by...

    Welcome! Glad you are joining in :-)

    Incidentally I had spinning this morning too. It was a new class that I hadn't been to before and Oh... My .....God!
    I realised I was in trouble when I got on my bike, looked to my right and saw the instructor for the Saturday morning class which is the one I have found most hard core so far. The about 5 minutes in this class made her's look like child's play. Somehow I managed to survive (and by somehow I mean that I was about 4 gears below what he was calling out at all times) nevertheless I was extremely proud of myself for keeping up after just one week spinning. Yay me! I have earned my couple of pints later at my friend's birthday get together.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend, also, I am going to NYC on Sunday, will be my first foray into the US, woo!

    Hello all. Good day, first day of Spring even though it is snowing in NJ. Friday is my day off from the gym. I need to have at least 2 days from not going to recuperate from my work outs.
    I'm a weight loss surgery post op. Any other LGBTers out here have Wls? I'm down 75lbs and feeling fine. B)

    Ryan! I didn't see your post before, that is hilarious! I can so relate with the drunken pizza dialling, can't say I have ever fallen asleep waiting for it though. Nice one

    I'm not getting enough calories lately. I've been traveling a lot for work and not focusing on getting enough good nourishing food in me (or working out for that matter).

    I started this to lose weight and cut my body fat percentage, and I've been successful. Now I want to add muscle mass, but that is proving much harder.

    Here's hoping I keep my motivation up!

    Excellent! Feel free to message me if you have any questions/need any tips for the city. I've arranged for some fresh snow for you. :neutral_face:

    I've had a pretty good week. I managed to avoid the box of donuts on the table in the breakroom this morning and I'm finally starting to get visible biceps (and every so often find myself flexing my muscles like a *kitten* just to see them).

    Ryan, the drunk dialed pizza is pretty funny.

    electriq, then you need to head on down to the Gulf Coast of Texas for some warmth! There's a bit of rain here and there but the clover is GREEN!

    Have a terrific time!

    I keep forgetting to check in to the thread but at least I've been remembering to log better. I'm feeling pretty good since I'm down since last week and even better, remembered to both prep my work lunches for the week yesterday, and brought them to the office this morning. Now I have no excuses to hit the evil cafeteria full of good food.

    Hope everyone has a good Monday.

    Schneizilla, it's a Harley Soft tail Deluxe....hahaha! I didn't realize how much work went into riding! So, thank you, I DID have a terrific weekend! Yours was terrific as well?

    Guinevere and b_ray, congrats on the loss! Hope your Monday was as good as mine!

    Finally feeling good today after a few months of funk! Whoo! Got a bunch of housework done today, and cut my hair (the spring shearing). Maybe spring will happen soon in Canada. :lol:

    Mornin' all! I'm up, and ready to attack both my day, and the rest of the week. (I had a really weird/stressful weekend that kinda left my head spinning. Shaking it off and moving forward!

    A lot to look forward to: Lifting today, old friends visiting town, and meeting them for dinner (and meeting their baby for the first time!). And maybe, someday, I'll get to ride my bike. Please, please, let it get over 30 degrees so I can ride my bike!

    Yes. Generally, motorbike is UK, and motorcycle North American.

    Bicycles with assisting motors are new enough not to have a standard reference, but are generally called electric bikes, or just e-bikes.

    Ugh, still wet here. The only consolation is that it's deadlift day and toting the lifting belt and gym bag on the motorcycle is a pain. Guess I'm driving today.

    Good morning everyone! Today seems like a good day, I remembered everything I needed to bring to work, having a big fruit bowl for breakfast, someone gave me a bright red dress and it fits and I am just very very happy.

    Hi all, been absent a few days with a pretty bad case of flu. Feared it was tonsillitis but everything's the normal colour besides the inflammation. Finally starting to clear up (thank god for lemsip!) I've been trying to eat normally over the last few days but my appetite has been non existent

    Hope you start feeling better soon! Chicken soup is your friend except for the sodium content.
