Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I am drinking coffee hoping like hell I can finally go to the loo... this new diet and exercise lark has left me... well... heavier than usual :-) I am considering not weighing myself tomorrow until I can "go".

Yeah I wouldn't weigh either until you can go. That restroom trip sometimes makes a big difference on the scale.

CONFESSION
I ate pretty terrible on thursday and friday. I didn't want to be honest with myself on everything I ate. But yesterday I finally added all the food I really ate on those calories and now seeing how much i went over has motivated me to keep pushing on and to not keep giving in to temptation.

Since Easter its kind of been a downward spiral.

BTW, there ia only one "E" in "judgment."

Actually, both are acceptable. Judgment is the more typical American spelling, and judgement the more typical UK spelling (don't know about Canada or other English speaking countries). Weirdly, however, and something I only just learned, judgment is the more typical spelling in the legal usage (final judgment was entered by the court on April 10) even in the UK.

I'm surprised (but pleased!) that they're still developing board games for an adult market. Thought the computer gaming industry would have killed that dead, good to know it's still thriving.

The last time I played an interactive game was a murder mystery thing at a professional dinner years ago. Other than that, just Candy Crush on my phone, lol.

Have you (or anyone else who hasn't heard of any of the games that we listed) heard of Settlers of Catan? That is like "the gateway game" to these types of games. Most famous one. They have it at Target.

This modern/new board gaming originated in Germany so it's often called "German-style board games".

If anyone watched Parks & Rec, Ben's game "The Cones of Dunshire" was a parody/homage of this type of game. Hubby and I almost busted a gut in the finale when his expansion pack was called "punishingly intricate" in a review and he was thrilled. Now not all of these games are punishingly intricate but it was funny if you like this sort of thing. ..... but you probably had to be there >.>

We're a bit snobby toward stuff like Monopoly and Risk :P


.... SHUT UP, ME

I had never heard of these games. I played Risk as a child and had bought it years ago. Finally decided to take it out of cellophane and try it. Figuring it out taxed my pea brain last night but once we had it we were having a lot of fun. I did drop this Settlers game into my shopping cart at Amazon. Maybe after we figure Risk out we will give this a try.

No, haven't heard of that one either. The rule of thumb is, if they don't advertise it on Discovery Velocity, I won't know about it. Lol.

And, as of last month, Canada has no Target. It didn't last long here, maybe a year or two.

Same here! But more from depression and apathy than anything else. My Friday and Saturday look horrible!

The good thing is we can do better today though and keep working on it.

That's true. Today is going to be quite a struggle (for me, at least), but here's to a good day for both of us!

I confess to being a total geek. I try to pass for a mundane but little things (like the Adipose avatar) usually give me away. I met my husband at a Sci-Fi convention. I still play Dungeons and Dragons and participate in LARPs. I am a big fan of Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars and just about every other sci-fi inspired show or movie. I used to LOVE cosplay but since gaining weight I have been to embarrassed to participate. I miss dressing up with my friends as X-Men, Avengers, comic book "Bad Girls" or anything else that tickled our fancy. Instead I have started using my children as dolls. My four-year-old made the cutest 11th Dr. but it isn't the same.

I survived last night's D&D game despite all the crappy (yummy) snacks on the table with carrots, celery and some guacamole all because I'm going to wear a freakin' costume in August. Maybe an old one or maybe I'll make something new but by god I'll be gettin' my geek on.

So.... *secretive whisper*.... do you guys think I should go for the $35 box of 12?

If you've never tried quest bars before, I wouldn't buy a whole box. I tried several flavors a couple of months ago and was not impressed. They tasted like the old protein bars I used to eat back in the late 90's. Not a fan.

New confession. I know, I'm supposed to be all rah rah bacon about everything, because keto. I just saw a post on fb of bacon wrapped oreos.



I think I'm going to keep that picture around for any time I want to completely kill my appetite. (no offense if you're into that sorta thing)

Ick! This doesn't look appetizing to me at all, but I'm one of those people that likes my sweets to be sweet and my savory to be savory - no mixing!

it looks less like bacon and more like cabbage leaves

Tyra banks has a large forehead and she's a (retired) supermodel. You're probably the only one who really notices. If it really bugs you, get some bangs cut.

I'm sure you're probably right about other people not really noticing much, and I try to tell myself that. Unfortunately, my hairline sits pretty far back and there is a cowlick-y area there, as well, so bangs are not an option for me. Tried regular and side-swept bangs in the past, and it just wasn't happening. Hopefully I'll just come to terms with it at some point.

Wow, I could have written this. I have a high forehead with cowlicks on both sides. I've never been able to wear bangs, either regular or side swept. I'm 50, and it still is something that bothers me a lot. But hopefully we notice it more than anyone else.

I have the same thought every time I see the pic, there's a strange orangey redness that reminds me of the tomato sauce on cabbage rolls, not cooked bacon.

But either way... bleccchhhh.

THIS is my reaction. I am all for a bit of savory with my sweets--had some delightful chocolate and toffee covered matzah at my book club yesterday, and the bit of salt was the key. Bacon, though, is overused for this purpose (and, sorry, but a little overrated these days), so I'm not predisposed to begin with, but the main problem with this horrible-looking dish is that it appears to be covered with tomato sauce or something, the color is weird. And the bacon looks soggy, not crispy.

Ugh!

(Too judgy?)

I ate Indian takeout tonight with my husband. He was supposed to be out of town, and I had my meal all planned...but then he didn't leave and I didn't have dinner for both of us and he wanted Indian, so I caved. I have no idea how many calories I ate. I probably had about a cup or cup and a half of rice, half a pint container of chicken tikki masala, and a half order of naan. I logged it picking the highest values and think I put in overestimated quantities. It was good, but I feel guilty, and I'm still hungry.

Did you have mango lassi? Not having one is the only thing to feel guilty about

THIS.

The bf and I shared some cheesy chips as part of dinner tonight. That isn't my confession... My confession is that once I had my half on my plate I took the cheese off the chips and weighed them both separately so I could work out the calories before putting them back together to eat! Bf thinks I'm insane, but is also pleased as he'd been overestimating the actual calorie count for the portion.

@81Katz dont worry, tomorrow is another day! We all feel like that sometimes (well, i do at least)
Just saw a fb post about cakes in a mug, so of course i had to try it, now all i want is chocolate cake, but dont have enough ingredients for a second one...
