I confess, I'm such a number nerd! I stopped my car a few months back to catch this epic moment:honeynutloop wrote: »I had aspirations of doing some in depth, thoughtful, motivational blog post on my 1000th day of logging into mfp. Didn't happen.
Wow good job logging in! I'm jealous.
I'm almost back at 90 days.
I've been around since about 2012 and I have to confess that one of the reasons I quit logging in a few years ago was because I missed a day on accident and lost a really good logging streak. I was so mad. I wish I wouldn't let little things like that get to me.
Wow! 1000 days of logging in. You're my hero. Really. I'm really geeky about that kind of thing. I'm on day 86 and already feel like I'd cry if i had to start at 1 again!
This IS Epic!!! That's amazing that even the temperature cooperated.1 -
I had a day out yesterday, and I had so much sodium. My friend said to eat lunch before we met up, so I had Taco Bell on the way, then when I got there she hadn't eaten yet. So I ordered nachos. Snacked on some fried food out of her order. Had a piece of pizza. Changed locations, ate more pizza. My hands were so puffy this morning that it hurt to make a fist, and I feel all kinds of bloated.
Well, that's silly! What did she do that for?! I retain water very easily and I HATE that feeling so I have to be very careful with my sodium intake, which is hard because I really only like salty / savory foods.0 -

On the topic of hair...
I don't have a regular hair stylist. I know a lot of people that do hair, but I avoid getting my hair done by people I know. I don't want to get upset at them if they mess my hair up. I also used to be a receptionist at a salon, and it really upset me how bad the stylists there trash talked their clients... Even the ones they were friends with.
I've spent the last couple years getting my hair done by randoms. I hate it, but I know if I ask for recommendations, I'll just get referred to someone I know.
Do you have a cosmetology school near you? Yes, the stylists are students and just learning, but they are supervised and generally eager to do a great job AND the prices are reasonable. Just thought I'd throw that out there as an alternative for you.0 -

Not in England.
We seem to just have deodorant and suitcases.

You've made an opening for a confession I've been thinking about for a while. I also love JJ Watt but I'm from WI. BUT I can't stand Aaron Rodgers. I feel like I'm the only person in this state that doesn't worship him.
I like Aaron Rodgers... and I'm a Bears fan. *shame*
So then I might be the only person in the world that doesn't like him
In all fairness, when Cutler is your QB, what are you supposed to do? Us Bears fans have to have some QB to admire.
At least you have a qb. Try being a Vikings fan right now
I'm a Jets fan. Talk about lack of QB!0 -
I'm too scared to stand on the scale to see what my weight is right now
Is it possible to get on the scale backwards, have someone else record your weight for you, and then after you feel ready (a couple weeks, months, etc.) you can weigh again? That way you at least have something to compare your progress to.0 -
I confess I only live in Illinois because I was born and raised here and feel obligated to stay close to my mom and dad to care for them as they age but have every intention of moving as soon as possible!!
I often exercise extra so I can eat more chocolate or ice cream
I have 4 laid back awesome boys and am grateful I never feel pressured to buy them name brand Uggs or NorthFace jackets or pay for things just to "keep up with the Jones" like my sister is with her teen daughter .... I do however have every intention of spoiling a granddaughter rotten should I ever have one!
I think I could be the dog lady and have meaningful relationships with
My 4legged friends and not miss human companionship all that much!0 -
My confession is that I cannot be trusted around chocolate. To the point where I lie about how much I've eaten, even though I know I'm only lying to myself. If I tell you I've had one brownie, it's safe to assume I've had two or three. I'm an addict.
I'm also not above eating hummus with a spoon if I don't have another hummus delivery vessel (my favorite being crackers).0 -
I was like this for years, and then found a hairdresser I really liked. Then she went on her own and works out of her basement now, so I go there. I love the way she cuts my hair, but don't like her colours any more - I think the lighting is bad in her basement maybe? Anyway, not sure what to do about it. I can't just not book with her because I know she'll call me.On the topic of hair...

I finally bit the bullet and "broke up" with my stylist of 20+ years 2 years ago. Per my earlier post, my previously fine, thin hair has finally grown and thickened up, but she still styled it the same way instead of adapting to it. My hair is naturally curly and she'd never get it completely dry, which meant that about 15 min. after I left her shop (and paid her $65.00) I had to go home immediately and re-do it myself! I got tired of doing that after about 3 times and just stopped going.
I now cut and color it myself and I'm much happier! Plus, saving money. I did send her a really nice card to say "Thank You" and a brief explanation of why I stopped coming in. Perhaps if this happens with another client she'll be aware.0 -
I have done the hot chocolate powder thing. Just kept dipping the spoon in water and back in the powder, rinse and repeat. Was actually amazing so now I have to have the sachets instead of the big pot so I don't do it again haha.
Humm a confession. My daughter doesn't like crusts on her sandwiches so some days when I am prepping it I eat her crusts. There. I said it.
Am I not supposed to do that? Sometimes, I even put a little extra peanut butter around the edges so I can have a little bit when I eat her crust!

My entire deficit is because of my activity. I was eating over 2000 calories and losing. Now I'm down to 1600 to maintain 1350 to lose 1/2 a pound. A tiny part of me is glad because I was burned out but I have to really reign in my logging for the next month and it's mt birthday! Wah!
Sorry to hear about this... that must royally suck!
OTOH, you could always join the high-volume, low-weight arm workout club and build some enviable shoulders. Lol.
On an unrelated note, I discovered the other day that I can do hanging leg raises (NOT from a pullup, just dangling from my power rack) so I'm going to do those regularly. Just because I think they LOOK impressive... this despite the fact that I workout alone and nobody will actually see me.

I have done this with some numbers on my car's odometer. I think its cool too!0 -
I was 16 pounds away from goal and quit. I had lost 84 lbs. I gained back 46 lbs. Now I'm back at it but I'm so mad at myself and full of self loathing.0

This is totally me with certain things. I try to buy the single serving stuff when it's available, but this weekend, I wanted plain tortilla chips and had to buy a regular sized bag. So after I ate what I wanted, I had to give the bag to someone in my house to hide from me! It sounds silly, but it worked. I didn't waste money throwing them away, and I have no idea where they are so I can't eat them all now!
I have a physically active 17 year old son who eats like a horse (he should he's always going and doing something like football practice, swim practice, beating up his friends in mock wrestling matches), and I give him leftovers. I know if he gets it, it will be gone from the house! lol0 -

Hang in there. My drinking got pretty ridiculous after 40, and after several attempts, I finally quit for good.
I like to say my Drinking Novel had a lot of funny, epic, enjoyable chapters. Started off awesome, and included some of the most memorable times of my life...but towards the end they were just the same old boring depressing crap...page after page after page.
Dec 31, 2011 was my last drink...and I don't miss it. AT ALL.
Congrats. That's harder than some people realize0
