Awwe, thanks - you're kind. I really hate pictures of myself and avoid being in them where possible.
The profile pic is a little lego girl in Ravenclaw Quidditch robes - I'm in a Hogwarts challenge at the moment, so it seemed appropriate. When the challenge is over, maybe I'll put an actual picture of myself in there instead.

I love all the pet photos too!
I gained 3 pounds before we left for Vegas last week to make my dress fit and I'm up another six today (which is hopefully mostly water and will go away soon), but we're married!
Sorry they're kinda huge...
Congrats!!! You look amazing!!!Big day in our house - my son had his high school graduation. I was a weeping, emotional wreck because it's been a long, hard battle for all of us. He has ADHD and mild Asperger's, but he's (hopefully!) graduating from the regular school program. It feels like a huge triumph!
Definitely something to be proud of!

My Christmas shopping style would probably give you a nervous breakdown - I never plan anything and usually go out the week before, sometimes Christmas Eve. I have, on a couple of occasions, shopped online a few weeks early, and been very pleased with myself for that.berlynnwall wrote: »I see lots more super cute animal pics.
AngryViking1970-Happy Birthday!
Confession:Just_Ceci talking about her husband shopping way in advance reminded me that I'm already done with Christmas shopping for the year. I like being done early to avoid stress later. I also like doing it that way because I can spend a little out of each paycheck instead of having to spend a lot at one time closer to the holidays.
I do the same thing and I love being done early. I sometimes still go to Black Friday though if there is something really good, although the past few years stores have been putting most deals online so I don't have to go anywhere. Score!
My husband is worse than me - because of that I usually get quite nice presents as he goes out in a 'no expense spared' panic at 3pm on Christmas Eve.
I Christmas shop that way too. My husband and I have exchanged gifts after the holiday because we waited too land and are generally cheap.0 -

You're still slacking in the confessions department, Pancake.
I'm a very pure, innocent soul. Not much to confess.
That's not what you said a few pages ago! Spill it! And I don't mean what you just said in your previous post. That we don't need to hear about. Since you're still with us on this thread you might as well contribute something good!
Poop isn't good enough for you people? That usually knocks 'em dead most places. Tough crowd. Hmmm. Confessions, confessions, let me think...
I confess that my dad's a recovering alcoholic who got rid of all the pets I loved and my childhood home when I was younger because he needed to move to Florida to try and keep my mom from divorcing him. When he was down in Florida, I witnessed my dad have an alcoholic seizure in front of my girlfriend who was meeting my parents for the first time. That was quite a few years ago, so he is doing better now. Even though I love my dad, we don't talk very much because he lives with my mom in NC now. That makes me a little sad, and I probably still harbor anger and resentment towards him.
Good enough?
Yes, that definitely qualifies as a confession. Growing up with an alcoholic parent is hard. My dad's dad was an alcoholic. Affected him and his brothers negatively in many ways.
Is he in a recovery program or does he just drink less? Sounds like your parents are still together. Is that a good thing or bad? Sorry about the loss of the pets. I don't tell many people this but about 2 years into my first marriage I had to move out of my house, find a place to live, and re-home 4 cats in less than 2 weeks. With a 2 yr. old. I wasn't as successful as I'd have liked to have been as far as the re-homing so I've never allowed myself to have pets ever again.
As far as I know, he just doesn't drink at all. That is one thing that my dad and I have in common. If we really want something, we make sure that we get it. No matter what the cost. So I do believe he is a person that just stopped. My parents being together is a very good thing. My mother's a sweetheart. That sucks about your pets. I have a couple cats and a dog now.
So, I want to know...is that really your chest?
I confess, that is really my chest. Taken with an iPad in my bathroom, right after a workout, flexing to exaggerate things a bit. I then used the black and white option on the iPad photo editor.
I also confess, I edited this for grammar.
Impressive. There was a guy in another thread (which I have no time anymore to check any other thread as this takes all my free time) who claimed some pic was of him, and it was some British actor. He totally got busted. He kept insisting it was himself until someone found the exact same picture on the internet and posted it. He finally confessed.
I was wondering if you were 'enhancing'.
No problem. It's a compliment. I guess I must be doing something right. Perhaps I've become a little too vain though. I know the exact spot in my house to make my pictures look the best. It's in the bathroom with the lights off, but the lights on in the hallway. For some reason the shadows make me look better than normal. There's a couple in my profile of me in the gym as well. I was by myself. No way I'd take my shirt off when someone else was in there. I really am a bit more shy in real life.
Well I know what I'm trying tonight.
Lol.
I have one of those spots too. Mine is in the bedroom, diffuse natural light from the side and only one bulb in a two-bulb overhead fixture (confession: it's been like that for WAY too long!). I've actually taken a shoulder pic that I keep meaning to post in this thread to promote BZAH10's workout because the arm looks a gazillion times more defined than it does in any other lighting.
I'd love to see it! I've attempted to take some more pictures of myself, but I'm terrible at it. I think I dislike the word "selfie" so much that I am unable to take a successful one.
Great lighting but kinda fuzzy. All credit to your shoulder workout, however!
Holy smokes. Your arm looks fantastic!
Agreed, your arm looks amazing! Now I'm going to have to troll back through this thread to try to find the arm workout!
Pretty simple: I have 3 lb. dumbbells that I use while sitting on the floor stretching at night. I do lots of reps with the low weights: forward and backward shoulder circles, small pulses up and down, both with palms up and palms down. Lots of different varieties. I'm terrible and explaining them, but basically 3 sets of 12 reps each any kind of arm and shoulder exercises. Sitting on the floor really isolates the arms. They are much harder that way then standing up. I also have 10 lb. dumbbells and have started doing overhead presses with them. 3 sets of 12 reps. each.
I'm a hundred plus posts behind but I'm glad someone asked this again because I'm getting ready to start doing your shoulder exercises to get sexy arms! Or at least less freaking horrible ones. Lol 0 -
I went over my calories today by 400 and I'm not allowed to work out (Drs orders) as I've hurt my back 0

I use it to lose water weight before my wrestling matches. It helps you sweat faster and alot more.0 -

Oh yeah lol. I would die. I'm a planner. Another reason I do it is because both my mom and one of my kids have December birthdays - so if I don't buy in advance I am completely broke by January. I made that mistake years ago. Never again!0 -

I plan the money, but I don't shop quite so early. I've been stuck a few times because something my son absolutely HAD to have in February he was totally over by November. My husband is a completely different issue. He has this nasty habit of just getting something when he wants it, even when it's 2 weeks before Christmas. He's gotten a little better about it since the year I made him open his duplicate stuff anyway (he also felt bad), but waiting is safer than shopping early with him.0 -

I can see that. I think that may become an issue as my son gets older. He is big enough now that he can make his own amazon wish list, so if all else fails I can look there. He is obsessed with it, so I know it's current
My little kids are still easy to please so far. Crossing my fingers it lasts. I am really bad at gifts for my husband - by which I mean that I get excited and want him to open them as soon as they come in the mail. I buy his last, like in November lol. 0 -

Super!!!! I'm happy for you and I am on a similar path with my son.0 -
I fell asleep and suddenly woke up an hour later. Don't know why?? But had a handful of sourcream and onion pringles. Which I never eat and went right back to bed. I didn't even remember I ate them until I saw the container on the kitchen counter. I don't drink alcohol so it wasn't that.. What the heck???0
