All of the people who are going to @LBuehrle8's tea party! I've taken care of the menu for you. Save some Pimms for me.

Ooooh.
That tea party chat made me crave tea sandwiches, even though I had no idea what they were and I had to look it up.
The funny thing is I've stayed in families in England 3 times (5 weeks total, 3 different families) and I can't remember ever having a proper tea!
Speaking of England - I really want to go again. It's one of those things I hope to do again someday. Mostly see London again... and have good English fish and chips (somehow I'm always disappointed when I order some here in the US, although I'm sure it's just my memories that are off and it's not actually that different).
Fish and chips are THE BEST when eaten on a chilly, windy beach with seagulls waiting menacingly for any leftovers.

I just joined my first event ride by our local cycling organization RABA (Richmond Area Bicycling Association) to support their 'Bikes for Kids' program. Beyond excited!

Which of the races (how many miles) are you doing? What a great cause.
Probably the 64 mile but I would really like to work up to the 101. I've never done a century ride (mainly because I wasn't in a cycling group before and have been reluctant to venture too far out without some support-like a riding partner) so that would be a great milestone to reach this year. I might check out the course ahead of time to see how taxing it is. The coordinator said it is moderately hilly so that might play a part in my decision.riderfangal wrote: »I just joined my first event ride by our local cycling organization RABA (Richmond Area Bicycling Association) to support their 'Bikes for Kids' program.

Great minds think alike because that was the first thing that popped into my head!
Great minds, indeed! *high five*I just joined my first event ride by our local cycling organization RABA (Richmond Area Bicycling Association) to support their 'Bikes for Kids' program. Beyond excited!

That's awesome!! I'm hoping to start riding more in events with my dad, it's a lot of fun!
Thanks! This will be a great goal to focus on through the summer.0 -

then i started to fishtail on the four lane highway, and i completely can't pull out of it, totally lose control, the car does a full 360 spin across the two lanes of oncoming traffic and i bounce off of the opposing guardrail.
by some tiny miracle, no one was coming when i crossed lanes. if anyone had been, i probably would have killed them and myself. so i'm on the wrong side of the road facing the wrong direction. see no one coming at me head on, and drive back over to the right side of the road to a stoplight. this dude pulls up in the lane next to me and is like ARE YOU OK?!?!! i'm all shaky and say yeah, i think so. light turns green and i drive on to the theater like everything is fine.
i meet up with my mom and i'm like, i think i might have just almost died, and explain the whole thing to her and she's like... well maybe you should slow the hell down. and i say no, this was REALLY scary, and she's just like yeah, i've done it before too. slow down.
thanks mom!
confession: my mother's total lack of empathy and concern really ticks me off sometimes....
I confess my first thought was why are you driving so fast to make a movie of all things......esp in bad weather, slow down!
it was JURASSIC WORLD!
dinosaurs!
i've been giddy for this for SO LONG.
but i fully admit that dying before getting there would have greatly ruined it....0 -

Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay. I did a small update a few pages back but I think it was passed over. My boyfriend and I actually talked a lot on Sunday. I was able to ask a bunch of questions and I really do think he answered truthfully. He still wants to do counseling. We are kind of both taking some space too.
I think he is depressed too. His dad passed away a few years ago and he hasn't been the same since (no excuse though-he needs to deal with stuff). He is withdrawn, angry at the world and less patient. I think that is the biggest reason we are having issues really. I told him he needs to think about getting help for himself.
At least I slept better last night.
How are you doing?
I did see the update, but I really don't know what to say that wouldn't sound awkward or trite, since I've never been through anything like it--that's why I so rarely comment on the situation when you update us. Just know that I'm thinking of you, and support you in whatever decision you feel is best.
I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad (about possibly not seeing it). I just wasn't sure.
Thanks for the thoughts! I keep you in my thoughts as well since you are sometimes so down.0 -
I eat too many calories late into the night. Including now.
Nothing wrong with eating before bed if you still stay within your calories. I eat like 400 calories in the 1-3 hours before bed every night, including carbs and I have been since I started this. Thats when I like to eat, so thats when I'll eat

Every time I go down the cereal aisle and see Pop Tarts I think of this thread. Sometimes I even consider buying them just because0 -

@MoHousdon Your step-daughter will eventually realize how her actions affect other people but it may take a while. I am 26 and it has taken me this long to REALLY have it sink in, although, it did initially start when I was 17 in my senior year of high school.
Confession #1: It's that TOM and I have become an over eating, over emotional, train wreck. I didn't log everything I ate yesterday and I likely will not log ANYTHING today and I will just keep my workouts going and forgive myself later...
Confession #2: The emotional train wreck part, I have been taking my crazy emotions out on my boss(who I am dating, judge not!). I apologized to him via text and wasn't planning on seeing him until Tuesday(this morning) but I asked if I could come over today(still Monday in my mind) and he said he was good with it. I told him I was super sorry for being all 'woman crazy' as I call it and he thanked me for acknowledging how my overemotional tendencies affect him and, because I KNEW he would be so accepting about everything, I also bought him some apology beer.
Confession #3: I have never been with someone who is so considerate and accepting of my feelings before and it terrifies me but at the same time makes me want to be a more considerate and accepting person too.
@Susieq_1994 Every time I play 'catch up' on this thread, you are on the list of top posts I look for. When you are gone you are missed VERY much. Sometimes working on yourself is the best way to worship. So, if you have to, focus on yourself a little more than your prayers. I feel Allah will be grateful that you are taking the time to care for the body he so carefully molded for you so that you can better worship and serve him in the future. I'm sure he sees your struggle and knows you will come out better for it.
Awe thats so sweet . My boyfriend has put up with me a lot too... quite the emotional roller coaster and lifestyle change since we met 3 years ago lol. He really is the love of my life. I pinch myself every day wondering how I got so lucky. Seriously.0 -

It made me think of this thread because I think that was something people shamefully confessed to eating at the very beginning of the thread, but I think it's a perfectly normal snack. I mean, people eat string cheese and have no issues with that as I snack, why should I be ashamed if I microwave it first? This made me think of other shamefully confessed foods that I also eat and have never thought twice about, like butter on saltines, or the oh so popular spoons of chocolate powder. I'm not sure if this means I have a good relationship with food, or if I have really strange ideas of snacks.
Um I totally do this. And it tastes awesome. A little bit of salt or guacamole on the top and I'm in heaven0 -

Because it was in the reduced bakery section for only $1.40. I followed that up by eating about 20 cinnamon donut holes. Why? Because they were also reduced down to only $.70 !! While they were delicious, and I can afford to eat this way on some days because of the amount of exercise I do and deficit I keep, I feel like I'm going to die. I know that in a couple hours when this sugar high wears off, I'll be feeling even worse and craving more sugar. Ughh!
Why oh why can't I eat sweets in moderation? I had been doing so well. This morning's weigh in showed that I lost 3 of the pounds that I had put on from my emotional bingeing this past year.
Ok done complaining.
Sometimes, our temptations just get the best of us. I would have been hard pressed to not buy a cake that was only $1.40 ESPECIALLY if it were chocolate with vanilla frosting. I wouldn't spend too much time regretting or feeling guilty. Just log this, appreciate the loss you had, and make a better choice for your next meal.
You can just think of it as you had your dessert before dinner today.

I saw your update and responded, but it seems like even when I'm on here during the day I STILL miss posts! I think it's because every time I come back to the thread or refresh it it takes me to the last post, then I have to scroll back, and inevitably posts are missed.
Yea sorry. I'm still catching up so I saw that you responded (thanks-if I haven't said it before-I do appreciate it). I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. I just didn't see anything before that.0 -
@Francl27 my dad said one of the first things I should do when I get there is have an authentic fish and chips meal! I love the Americanized version so I'm sure I'll love it more over there, yum!!

I love microwaved string cheese! Especially when part of it gets crunchy! Yum!

Thank you all my lovely friends for the well wishes about my trip ( and @spamarie the vote of confidence on my relationship, I love stories like that!) I don't go until August so I have much time to lose more weight, get all my waxing done, shopping, and primp and pamper before I get to go see my man! Woo hoo!0
