haha. You don't have ketchup chips?
I have never even heard of ketchup chips until today.
The fact that Canada actually has products other countries don't blows my mind.
I've never been in Canada (I live near Chicago)... We were supposed to go to Niagara Falls this month, but canceled it due to family issues. I was mostly excited because I've interacted with so many Canadians on this thread!
That's part of the reason I'm excited for my trip to Arizona in a few weeks. (Okay, mostly it's the food I'm excited about lol).
Speaking of, as I have never been to Arizona, is there anyone here that can recommend things to do/see? I am going to be in Maricopa, so anything that's within a few hours drive would be great.
I lived in Tucson for 3 years as a kid. The Desert Museum is pretty cool. You should also go to Eegees and don't eat the food, but get one of their frozen fruit drinks. The best part of Arizona in my opinion is that they don't have many tall buildings (or trees) so their light pollution is nil. You can see the stars so much better down there. Def do that. Also, prepare to feel like you are going to die from the heat. It hits you like a wall.
I am worried about this, as I don't handle heat very well. Hmm, I guess I'd better go shopping since I think I only own one pair of shorts... maybe two.
Actually, it's a dry heat, so it is very livable. That kind of heat in a humid climate is what will kill you! My oldest son went to college in AZ and will be teaching there this fall and my youngest son and my dad go twice a year to Phoenix for the NASCAR races. All of them say the heat there doesn't bother them and they are all the types to have the AC on full-blast during the summer at home. I can attest to it as well. It's not nearly as bad as you think! I think Vegas is worse.
I don't think Vegas is that bad, either, but I'm always cold. We flew in from Vegas to Chicago in the summer, and it was in the 100's when we left, in the 70's when we landed in the middle of the night, but it felt 10x's worse in Chicago than it did in Vegas.0 -
I can't do a sit up. Nope - not one.

Not judging but please get some help.
I confess I've contemplated booking a night at a hotel in a quiet place so I could actually get a good night sleep. I haven't slept well in weeks. My husband snores, is on a loud breathing machine, and has restless leg syndrome and kicks all night. I just can't take it anymore. Every time I end up waking up in the middle of the night (because of his kicks, or I have to pee, or the cat meows or something), I have to go downstairs in the recliner to be able to sleep again, and even then I'm so annoyed that it takes me an hour or more. And it's not exactly comfy.
So I fell asleep at 11pm, woke up at 3.30am, finally fell asleep around 5am and the kids woke me up at 5.30am (WTF kids). I was hungry so I had breakfast early, and my day is probably screwed again because tired + hungry early = bad news.
I confess I'm starting to get really worried about our trip this Summer because I won't have anywhere else to sleep then.
Have you ever thought about separate beds? Just to be practical.0 -

Neither have I.
Ketchup flavored potato chips are extremely popular in Oman (my birth country, most people don't even know where the thing is... Over here, next to Saudi Arabia! *waves frantically*). I hate them with a passion! So sweet and just... No.

Aboot! Ha!
Don't want to seem dense, but do Canadians not call it Canadian Bacon?
Canadian Bacon is Peameal Bacon AKA Back Bacon, ham is ham0 -

Told him last night that at this point I'm going to have to get him to sleep in the guest room. Well, when we don't have guests that is, lol.
So I have 240 calories for dinner, because I had too much ice cream and chocolate again. I never learn.0 -

My husband has been explaining Schrödinger's cat to me for years, but you have finally helped me to get it!
The only reason I've even heard of that is Big Bang Theory! Love that show!
I had heard of Schrödinger's cat before Big Bang Theory but it was Sheldon who taught me what it was. Sheldon has taught me many things. Interesting fact, did you know the actor that plays Sheldon is 40! That man has aged well.
You have to add SPOILER ALERT! I haven't watched it yet!
I have not either, I have been just not focusing my eyes on it lol0 -

One of my good friends in high school was Canadian and he introduced me to salt and vinegar potato chips. Mistake. Love those things!
And the best are
Yes, yes they are0 -

I struggle when it's +25C here, so dry or humid, I'm going to be uncomfortable lol.0 -

People say this, and humidity is terrible and all, but I still remember a college friend of mine from AZ talking about how sometimes the planes couldn't land because it was too hot. That's nuts.0 -
Work was so weird and annoying today that I ate an ice cream bar instead of my fruit salad. All the talking about savory foods in here makes me crave it so I'm gonna have some salty crackers now and since it's Friday I'll add a glass of white wine too.0

I actually hate ketchup, so they definitely aren't on my short list of things to try!0 -
I don't log ice cream because I believe it is a "superfood" and it doesn't count...... -_-0

You've mentioned that you were from Oman before, so I had to Google it. Is it as beautiful as the pictures? Is it a dangerous place or is it safe?0 -

Last weekend attended Beale Street Music Fest. 3 days of drinking LOTS of beer, eating decadent fair-type food (read fried, or greasy, or mass quantities - 1000 ways to cook pork, including BACON), and pots full of coffee for breakfast..... MUSIC was Amazing!
Confession: Gained almost 2lbs, and had a hard time getting back in exercise mode. No regrets.... I wish I could do it all over again this weekend

Yep, that's how I am, too. I can handle the AZ and CO heat just fine. Went to a June wedding in NC several years ago and was miserable! Yucko. I think it's the heavy air. I'm used to high altitude.0 -

I think it's cause of all the changes going on in my life - new job I'm still getting used to, looking for a car for the first time. It doesn't sound like big things but things feel so different.
Tomorrow is my last day of job training at the resturaunt that isn't the one I'll be working at. Friday I have a meeting where I'll meet all my actual coworkers and they will also all meet each other for the first time. (I'm actually the only person who started training for work ahead of time because of my job description - long story). Then Saturday until the 15th is job training with all my new coworkers at the resturant in my town that's not open yet. The 15th is the trial run, and it officially opens on the 16th. Slightly nervous but I don't feel nervous I just know I am if that makes sense.
Today is the first day I've felt physically okayish since last Wednesday. Combination of stress and bad eating. Finally feel a little better. I def gained some weight but I have no desire to weigh myself so whatevs, I've been trying to get back on track and have been fairly successful today after yesterday's failed attempt.
One step at a time! Will keep my fingers crossed, it will all fall into right place, you'll see!
Speaking of One step at a time...so...do we get a "coin" like AA? I think we should! Then every time we think about what we eat, or drink, or exercise (or lack of) we feel that little coin. Oh, I have such a great brain LMAO.0 -

I was a bridesmaid during a hot summer wedding and the bride insisted that all of her bridesmaids wore Spanx under our dresses. She even made us all do a fast paced dance number in our Spanx and dresses as part of the entertainment. That was the first and last time using that product. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. Not wanting to wear one ever again was and still is motivation for me to lose weight. I needed the reminder, so glad this came up!0
