I probably enjoyed my bowl of Cocoa Puffs a little too much this morning. I've eaten three kinds of cereal since September and I finally said, "*kitten* it, I'm buying Cocoa Puffs." I loooooove them. They were so good.
I should not be so excited to go to a casino's buffet tomorrow, but I am. I can't wait to stuff my face, especially since it will be free.
I'm on day 6 post-throwing out my back. I do miss working out and riding my bike. When I did it in January, I had to wait 10 days. I did it worse this time, so who knows how long I'll be out. I'm eating like crap (and everything in sight), but I am logging everything. I make better eating choices when I'm working out.0 -

Weddings do funny things to people. I've lost two of my closest friends due to weddings. When I got married we went to mexico and she was not happy at our choice of resort or the fact that we moved the wedding up. I told her I completely understood if she couldn't go b/c we moved the wedding up and she didn't have as much time to save. She got all pissy about it - that was 7 years ago.
My other friend who was my best friend since the 3rd grade told me, after she paid for her trip to my wedding, that her fiance was laid off and they couldn't afford for her to go. I told her it was a vacation as well and she could pick which ever color blue dress she wanted. I wanted no fuss with my wedding (my dress was only $200.00 which was a good thing since I ripped when it got caught in the heel of my shoe and it got covered in sand). She still wasnt' able to make it and I refunded her money - i understand that things happen. Well, during a fight she told me that the real reason she didn't go was b/c she thought I was being bridezilla, expecting her to pay $1500.0 to attend my wedding and a true friend wouldn't do that. Well, the gloves came off and I told her how I really felt about her racist, redneck fiance (now husband). It has been 3 or 4 years and we haven't spoken since (even when we ran into each other at a festival).
When you cut the grass, the snakes come out and you see who really is there for you. Sometimes, it means you lose people in the end.
That is very similar to this situation. Although, my friend did know that I planned on this spring or early summer, so I was still within the expected time frame - I had not set a date previously!
What is wrong with people? I just don't understand. I love my friends, and thankfully most of them are married now, but if any of them had eloped I would have been happy as heck. I think weddings are so boring. Don't invite me! I will never be mad.
I don't see the point of doing a huge party/ceremony (and the stress planning everything). I mean, it is for one day! you are going to spend thousands of dollars so family you never see can eat & drink your food and you are stuck w/ the bill (i'm not close w/ a lot of my family hence my not caring if they are there are not). I know this is not for all but I just don't see the point. My dress was a bridesmaids dress I ordered in white. It was simple and light weight (mexico - it was warm) and it was just what i needed. Some people will just never accept that on that one day - it is about you and you only.berlynnwall wrote: »rungirl1973 wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »My one close friend broke up with me because (to simplify) I changed my wedding plans and eloped, and she couldn't make it.

Wow. As if your wedding plans should revolve around your friend's schedule?
Sorry you're dealing with that.
Thank you. I go back and forth between feeling like I did something wrong and feeling mad that she totally is making it about her.
I felt this way for the longest time too - I felt like I was just a horrible person for not giving in to my friends' wishes & desires and I felt it was their fault that they were mad at me for doing what what I wanted to do for MY wedding. I still struggle with this when dealing with issues with my parents (I am a people pleaser and will often do for others to make them happy rather than do for myself to make me happy) - it makes me sound selfish but it is the truth.
We went very low key. We already have two children together, we have lived together for 7 years. We don't even really care about being married, we are totally committed regardless - we mainly did it so that my now husband can adopt my older child who he has been raising this whole time. She knew that, and still made a huge fuss over nothing. Oh well.
I don't think you sound selfish. People can be so unreasonable. Also, I like your cat.
Thanks!! he is so adorable and can be a little *kitten* sometimes but he is my kid... until I have kids.
I am a huge cat person. I do have kids, but I'm just as likely to bore someone talking about my cats or showing their pictures.
Sometimes I think I like animals more than some people (honestly)... I love my cats.
Confession: I made a scrapbook for my animals.

I totally get this. Sometimes I spend hours thinking about what I am going to write then compose the perfect post and its like the proverbial tree. My sock obsession got a bit of traction very early on. And a few nibbles on my cats and country music post but mostly it's silence. I have decided not to worry about it. I comment and move on. And never engage in the negative posts. But that might be over.0 -

I see your posts
The thread has blown up lately and I don't get much change to response to posts now. I am more likely to respond to mini posts or negative ones. Honestly, I read nearly everything, but there are just soooooo many.0 -

I know what child's pose is only because it's the stretch I do right after push-ups, I kinda roll into it out of my last one. And I always thought of it as just a nice stretch, although I kinda knew it was a bona fide yoga pose... I had to look it up to see which one it was.
Other than push-ups, planks and donkey kicks, I haven't a clue about the rest.
I am good with them all but the boat things and the donkey kick. I take a class on Saturdays that uses a lot of those poses/moves.0 -
My love for the movie Dirty Dancing will never die. It was on TV earlier and I have to watch it no matter what. I love the soundtrack. It's one of my not-guilty pleasures.
I confess that I had a customer the one day say you look like the one girl in Dirty Dancing & knew he meant the crazy sister haha.

I'll second that! I use this mentality with butter vs. margarine, cream vs. creamer, and whipped cream vs. cool whip. I would rather have the real stuff than the "fake".AngryViking1970 wrote: »jlnoble513 wrote: »@AngryViking1970 what does turkey bacon taste like? I'm scared to try it lol. I don't like turkey
Uh...like bacon? LOL It doesn't taste like turkey, but it has a different texture than regular bacon for sure. It's much firmer and doesn't really get crispy. Try it!
But not really. I have decided that it's not worth the few calories I save. Life is too short!
This is the truest statement I've heard in quite some time! I feel 100% the same way. I'll save calories somewhere else. When I want bacon, I want BACON!

I know! I took a short flight and got off plane. First thing I checked when airplane mode came off and I had like 5 pages to read. I hate that because then I scan them. So miss good stuff.0 -

Ditto. I love my 3, the stray I feed on my porch and the 2 I feed at the barn. I am always happy to discuss the animals. People not so much.0 -

Hi all! I'm posting from page 211. That's 163 pages back in this thread. Back here it's March 23 at 10:39 p.m. I'm just writing to tell you that I am going out of town April 15 for a three-day intensive class, and I suspect I will purchase and eat as much as possible of a pint of that new Ben and Jerry's ice cream that has caramel in the middle. I also can pretty confidently predict that I will eat shortbread cookies while I'm there.0

Those days are so frustrating... at least you use quick calories. I just stop logging when I am that far gone. Sometimes, the next day after, I will go back in and log it just to see how bad I did because by then the damage is done. I feel better knowing that I am not the only one that this happens to. Sometimes I get frustrated when I see success stories where people post that they lost 20lbs in 2 months. It is taking me so much longer. *sigh* but I am getting there.Today is one of those days when I'm so much over I'm not even logging what I'm eating anymore and just adding quick calories because nobody needs to know that I had two bowls of ice cream tonight.

I've become more of a cat person over dogs once we got two in 2007. My dog passed away in 2011 and we never got another one. Cats are soooooooooooo much easier than dogs. They don't need to be walked or let outside. When I dogsit for my aunt, hers are on a clock that they are let out and fed at 5-5:30 every morning. Her smallest dog is such a terror and gets into EVERYTHING.0
