Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I'm in a boot cast thingy for four weeks and have started doing Lesie Sansone videos in a chair. I was shocked at how good a workout it was. Also, my mom is in town and knows I can't eat gluten but she keeps putting gluten foods I'm front of me. My house smells like freshly baked babka and it's killing me.0

The surprise is that I got on the scale today and LOST weight. I'm at my lowest weight this year and am close to hitting the 90-pound total weight-loss mark.
That's great! I believe that we do need rest days because that's how our body responds to all the activity we put it through, but I have a hard time remembering to do that.0 -

Well, that's not nice at all! Moms. Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking. I can't change my mom (way too many issues to outline here) but I figure all I can do is not repeat the cycle. I know I annoy my kids regularly (and the are all grown and out on their own) but I would never purposely purchase something for them that they couldn't eat.
Not at all saying your mom is a bad person! I hope you enjoy her visit and that you recover quickly!0 -
Sometimes I have days like today, where no matter what I eat, I can't feel satisfied. I'm being totally honest in what I log this time around....when I overeat, I face that darned red - calorie count. I will admit, I have thought about logging it for the next day if it's been after midnight....0

I've been in a fracture boot for a while too. It was okay in February but the Texas heat is killing me right now.JulieAnneFIU wrote: »I'm in a boot cast thingy for four weeks and have started doing Lesie Sansone videos in a chair.

South Bend news said they shut their doors already. Not sure how they didn't see that coming?
Tonight's confession: my dinner is a sandwich made on pancakes. I'm trying to figure out how to make it more often, except it takes a huge chunk of my calories for the day.
I NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STAT
cream cheese pancakes, to be exact. Ratio is 2 oz cream cheese, 2 large eggs, and if you want them sweet, 1 packet stevia, dash of vanilla, pinch of cinnamon (or whatever flavor/spices you want). You can also go savory and just add a pinch of salt. Throw in a blender or food processor and hit it til the chunks are all gone, let the mix sit for 5 minutes so the bubbles rise, then make like regular pancakes, med heat, flip when the first side has a few bubbles.
There was a post on reddit using them to make monte cristos in place of french toast. I'm sure you could use regular pancakes, too. A lot of people use them to make ketofied McGriddles, too.
I've made pancakes like this. Great for anyone who is doing gluten free (my son has to). They were delicious. I'll never go back to flour pancakes again.
Also good with banana in place of cream cheese.
I've made the banana ones and I dig 'em. I think I might need to give these a try this weekend.0 -

I think I may have shin splints. But it's killing me to think I need to take a rest from C25K. Once I set my mind on something, I dont want to stop. I don't want to feel like a failure.
But at the same time, I don't want to cause further damage or pain.
What to do?!
Definitely take a break! I guarantee you will hurt yourself worse if you keep going (I know this from experience).
Take a couple days off and do something high stretching, low impact. You aren't a failure!
I'm going to take a break. It just kills me that I just started it (tomorrow would be day 3 of week 1) and now I have to take a break.
Thanks
I understand. I epically bombed out of c25k a few years ago because I kept progressing when I wasn't ready and blew out my bad knee. Better to go slowly and finish it eventually then damaging yourself.
I got shin splints because my shoes weren't right for me. Maybe going to a reputable running store an assessment will help alleviate the problem.
I gave myself chronic tendonitis in my knee from over training for a half marathon. I'm now lucky if I can run a mile without my knee bugging me a bit. I wear a brace and keep my time/speed/distance low now.
Confession: Despite all the training for races...I just don't like running.0 -

I don't like running either and I am doing a 10K on the 12th... I am planning to speed walk the entire thing.0 -
Not really a confession but a question. When you all go to the beach do you tend to make judgements based on the appearance of those around you? I don't, I'm so wrapped up in my head about my own insecurities and anxiety about looking bad on the beach... but I am so terrified of judgements and some people have told me ''Stop worrying, no one cares what you look like on the beach!'' I can't seem to get out of this mindset though!
Well, I did make a judgment last year when I went to the beach in April (didn't fully get into a bathing suit or get in the water... it was too cold, anyway). There was a family of very big people. I didn't initially notice them until I overheard the teenage girl saying ''Yay, look at how burned I am! I'm going to get so tan!'' I then noticed that all of them were BEET RED. Do they not realize how dangerous that is? Put on some sunscreen!0 -

How long will it take you to speed walk a 10K? Just curious to see what times other people can do it in. I've said this many times on these boards, but I do not run. At all. I speed walk, I do high-incline intervals and I do the elliptical for cardio and I have no trouble staying in shape. Running is great if you like it, but if not, no need to force yourself.
Besides, I have a neck and an ankle issue so running and jogging in the past have always resulted in pain. No thanks!0 -

I have family members that do this with foods I'm allergic to, you know because tuna fish from a can doesn't really count as fish.

Confession: My views on religion and spirituality are vastly different from those of my parents and what they raised me to believe. My family has no idea who I really am in many ways.
I'm a chronic people pleaser and confrontation avoider. It has caused me a lot of unhappiness over the years as you can imagine. Only recently became aware of it and am really trying to break the habit.0 -

Yep, me too. Like my mom, I always put others' needs and wants before my own, even with something as simple as, "What do you want for dinner?" I will let someone else have their choice over mine just so they're happy.

Same here! I was disowned by my family when I left their religion. They just started talking to me again recently and they really do not know me at all. I'm attempting, but their judgement just isn't something I can dismiss easily.
But, I'm the opposite. My mantra is:confront, resolve, and move on. They are slowly learning this about me. It's a work in progress. You can do it! Once you do the weight that is lifted off your shoulders is immense!0 -
It's 3:50PM where I am and I've been up since 2:30A so I'm feeling a little wretch! So this is a B! list... I hate that I sit next to two loud chronic complainers - STFU! I hate that this site is loaded with unhealthy advertisements - Velvetta - shut it down! I stop for coffee every morning at the same place - refill $1- keep telling them I don't need a receipt, STOP save a tree limb! It bothers me that people have lost weight over the years where I work and I always make an effort to compliment them or at least take notice - I've lost 35 friggin' lbs - CRICKETS - you jealous *kitten*. Where are all the good Catholic corporate owners - I want Good Friday off! I've a tennis match this evening and I'm in just the right mood to knock some heads - whew, I feel better now. And since I feel better now, here's something positive... I've been running everyday for a couple of months - was out-of-town and unable to run a few days, until yesterday. Totally forgot what it's like to run on fresh legs.0

Yummy!!!!!! As a kiwi bought up on vegemite on toast I even have jars in my cupboards now that I live in Sweden. A a a a a a arghhhh delicious. If I smelled it I would have to make toastWhen I feel like binging I smell the vegemite jar, Its so disgusting it makes me feel sick and then I dont feel like binging anymore (for about 10 minutes, this method sucks but i still do it lol)

I can relate, except it's my in-laws. Our politics and religious views are totally different. I feel like they hang it over my head and things must be 'this way or that way' because I don't see things how they do. Basically they're fairly extreme in their views, I'm not.

I'm hoping to finish in about an hour and a half - my PR for 10K training is 15:03 per mile pace - all walking.0 -

I also left the family religion. My family thankfully didn't disown me, and eventually left it too! (hint: it's the one with the award-winning musical)0 -

That's the mantra I'm seeking! So hard not to fall back into old established patterns of behavior - and not just this but anything - diet, addictions, relationships, etc.
Coming to terms with myself and beliefs has already been very liberating. I haven't had to face the confrontation with family yet since I've been living 1,000 miles away from them for the past two years. I've kind of brushed it off whenever such topics come up.
Anyway, thank you for the encouragement! It will be a big step when for me when I'm not afraid to just be honest and be myself with EVERYONE - not just a bunch of strangers on the internet. lol0
