My husband is the same.
My husband is great about remembering and celebrating things. (He shops months in advance for birthday and Christmas gifts.) My mother, on the other hand, has forgotten my birthday on at least 2 occasions. o_O0 -

Started a new workout schedule from today though and feeling better already.
Ack. I'm with you on that. I work out without fail every. single. day. on schedule. More because it fulfills my OCD than anything and I end up feeling really good and 'complete'. The past one week I sustained a foot injury and was out-of-order for a week. Absolute torture as I couldn't even walk. Yesterday I thought oh goodie the pain is gone, time for a run. Went for a low-impact jog so I wouldn't go too hard. BAM. Foot injury back. I swore I wouldn't go awol from fitness again so I hit the ellipticals and tomorrow will be the exercise bike. But I swear nothing feels as good as running does, it feels like I haven't worked out at all!
I reckon its the OCD speaking in us!
I'm right there with you on missing running. I suffered a groin pull in my last half and have been doing the elliptical/bike/walking for the past week. I'm going to try running again on Wednesday, I hope it's better because I have another half-marathon on Saturday! Eek! I think even if it's not as good as it could be, I"m still going to run it.
Omg - was it torture on the elliptical/bike? It was absolute torture for me - I like running because it feels productive. I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere, and plus the combination of wind/scenery/nature really motivates me and puts me in such an amazing mood/high. When I was on the elliptical I felt like I was making cheese or something...kept plugging away...but no cheesy end product to snack on. lol
You have a groin pull and you're still going for a half marathon? Wow, hats off! Best of luck with the marathon but don't overexert yourself or you'll risk ending up out-of-action for the next 6 months or something if you pull anything else!
The elliptical does suck when I'm doing it everyday. I usually only do it once a week to get some low impact cardio in and give my hips and feet a rest.
I'm going to try running tomorrow and I hope it goes well!0 -
My confession today is that over the weekend my SO decided he wants to join me on my C25K runs. Now as much as I want to encourage this to get him off his *kitten* I begrudge going down from week 5 to week 3 (I chose week 3 because he has a job that requires him always moving, so I thought he could cope with that) He did well, but it's not week 5.

It has taken my dad 28 years to learn all three of his kids birthdays. Even now he has to think about it, but I have always told him as long as he remembers mum's and their anniversary it's fine.0 -
Way behind because of the wonderful long weekend and may not get caught up today because of stupid meetings. I wanted to share a picture of our lab/mix dog. We adopted her about four years ago with the name Brandie. She is nine now. I have to take her to the vet today to get a rather large lump on her side checked out. Prayers and good vibes would be appreciated.

Here are mine:
The littler one is Trevor and the bigger one is Ajax (after the large Greek warrior, although he was tiny when we got him, not the cleaning fluid).
So sweet!

1) I need to take Metformin for my insulin resistant.
2) My eggs are bad and I can't have a healthy child.
3) We can try IVF and see if we get ONE good egg that might possibly mature and be a successful pregnancy.
That being said I went into depression and ate my heart out. I would eat donuts (plural because it was usually three plus m dew) two and three times a week. Not to mention just hating my body.
Two weeks ago my husband started working out again with a friend and last Sunday I just got up from my 3 hour TV binge and went to the gym. So...I have worked out in some manner for a complete 7 days now.
I'm still pissed, angry and mad at my situation about the babies but first We need to get healthy (like my husband said) and then we will see where it goes.
Who knows maybe adoption or egg donor...
I have had this all in my head for weeks and I needed to get it out.
This forum has been the best thing for me to read today!
Way late to this, but just remember...you need to take care of you so you can be a good mother however that happens. Whether it's through a pregnancy or adoption or whatever, you still need to take care of yourself. Good luck and well done on seven days of exercise!0 -

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Cannot resist fluffy kittens.
This is mine. Her name is Vameka but I just call her Monster, it's more appropriate. She's my 'heart cat', if there's such a thing, even if she's a pain in the butt.
Beautiful! That's exactly how I feel about my Owen.

Thanks. I was missing him yesterday. It would have been a great day for cuddles under a blanket on the couch.

Happy, happy birthday! It's my parents' 42nd wedding anniversary today, too.0 -

CountessKitteh, I feel ya. I just went through some rough times when my MIL got sick and passed. Glad to hear your FIL is doing better. Get yourself some rest and it will be better.
I am glad I kept up or it would take me all day to catch up here!! I don't have pics of my kitties. I have a 12 yo tuxedo cat named Ramona the Pest. She would come and wake me up and basically demand attention. The other is a white, tabby looking barn cat named Usagi (sp?). My step son named her and it is supposed to be Japanese for rabbit, don't ask why...... Anyway we ususally just call her Stupid, because she is really goofy and would act more like a dog than a cat. I also have a 10 yo mastiff named Baby. She is my baby, and she is pushing old age for her breed. Still acts like a puppy.
Somehow managed to relax and not stress myself on eating this weekend. I overate a bit, but not huge amounts. It rained so much. I was glad for the break on Monday when we got some sun and were able to spend some time in our pool. I need the sun.....
Love it! I read those books over and over as a kid.0 -

That would piss me off. I would go to a track and let him do his workout while I stayed on mine. (Although I understand why you would accommodate him.)0 -

I don't give my husband the chance to forget. He gets reminders for weeks in advance, and usually an e-mail of exactly what I want for a gift. He prefers it that way, he says.0 -

Well, I have done that everyday for the past month and have gained all the weight back that I had lost previously. Now I have to lose the 15 pounds all over again. :-( I wish there was some way I could change this mindset (in that if I exceed the amount of "allotted" calories per day that I stuff myself the rest of the day)?! Anyway, that is my confession!
I once saw a meme that said something like eating like crap for a whole day because you had one bad meal is like taking a sledge hammer to an iphone just because you got a crack in the screen.
I've seen one that said it's like getting a flat tire when you're halfway to your destination, and instead of just changing the tire and continuing, you puncture the other tires, smash the car with a sledgehammer, set it on fire, and go back home.
That made me giggle! That was my thought process in the past, but now I know one bad meal/day doesn't ruin all the progress that's been made! It's like something clicked and I feel like I finally get it.0 -

I'm like that when my husband wants to walk with me. Because he strolls and slows me down.

This was me this weekend. I just wanted to eat all the food. I don't think I went crazy, except for maybe Sunday evening, but it was a rare occasion.

I've kind of lost my drive to keep on track, which is really stupid since I'll have to be seen in a swimsuit in a little more than a month. I just want to eat and drink what I want and not give a crap. I think I might be depressed because of all the crap that's going on right now with my stepdaughter (not going into that) and my kitty being gone.
I did have an NSV yesterday while cleaning out my closet. I have a pair of BCBG boots that have always been tight on my calves. I put them on yesterday and I actually had a little bit of room where they weren't suffocating my legs. I felt pretty good about that.0 -
I ate and drank whatever I wanted Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The result....a 6 pound gain! I know most of it is water weight and will be gone in a few days but it's still annoying to see that number on the scale. I eat low carb most of the time, so when I eat tons of carbs for a few days, I always see a big jump on the scale. Oh well. Back on track today!0

I'm in exactly the same boat. I went to Chicago for a wedding, ate and drank what I wanted (but didn't go crazy, I was never stuffed or overly full all weekend). The 6 lb increase on the scale is incredibly annoying. Especially since I told my husband that we could have ice cream for dinner tonight. LOL0 -
I've eaten like crap for the last 9-ish days. Crappy food, no weighing food/logging, no working out.
I'm up 6lbs. Some is water weight due to sodium and carbs, but I bet at least 3-4lbs is fat gain. I had toast this morning with a giant glob of peanut butter. Didn't bother to weigh/log it. Why?
I feel so bad about myself when I do this.0 -

Yay on the boots! I totally understand the rest. I have been absolutely, completely terrible about my food and can't seem to get back on track. No part of me cares right now. The only positive is that I haven't stopped my workouts.0 -

Yep, this is me too. I have a home bakery, too, so the licks/tastes do me in (starting to be my busy season with grad parties/weddings). I’ve stopped doing that but I still struggle with wanting to eat all the baked goods. I’m PCOS/Hypoglycemic/Pre-diabetic so I’m actually carb sensitive. I still eat some things, but I eat ridiculous amounts like ¼ of a brownie or ½ tbsp of frosting. If I don’t, I blow up like a balloon. I ignored that the last 6 months or so, hence the 20-25 lb I’m now trying to lose
I ate relatively clean the last few days and managed to even shave off 0.5 lb. Worked out this morning but still want to faceplant in the spicy chocolate brownies I made last night.
My oldest was running a 104 degree fever yesterday- luckily it’s down now to 101 but he’s still miserable. I resisted the urge to stress eat but just about drank my weight in iced tea/water trying to stay calm.
This thread moves so fast I can’t keep up!
