Dang it! I forgot I told you I was starting that this week.
Guess I need to start that this week. We (Mr. Mo and I) were supposed to start this morning, but I had to take Rachael to her school to change her classes. Long irritating story.
I'm going to watch the second video at lunch today so I can learn workout B. Maybe Mr. Mo will want to go tonight after dinner. Doubtful, but maybe.WestCoastJo82 wrote: »OK, I shouldn't be here but had to do a quick check.

@WestCoastJo82 & @MoHousdon - We didn't do the workout yesterday, mostly because my knees were killing me from walking so many floors of stairs on my breaks last week (at least 20 floors a day Mon-Fri). It turns out my knees didn't love that. I want to make sure that I start the SL program with knees feeling good because the squats are what make me most uncertain with my sketchy knees.
I think we will delay the start to next Monday and I'm laying off the stairs this whole week so that I can start off the best way. I'm still really excited about the program and want to give it my all! My knees feel a bit better today and I think they will be 100% by the end of the week. I will definitely keep you posted!
I may hold off and start next week too. I still need to get me some Chucks and make sure I watch the tutorials as to not injure myself. I am excited about starting too, but not that excited about having to get up at least an hour earlier 3 times a week since Mr. Mo wants to workout before work.
@MoHousdon I just got the greatest shoes...New Balance Minamalist...they are different than any shoe I've ever worn. They have a wide toe area, which is good for lifting weights (they're weight training shoes). I can definitely tell a difference in my squats and deadlifts.
Confession - I still lift in running shoes... I keep meaning to buy something specifically for lifting, but never seem to get around to it.
I was going to ask this very question. (What shoes to wear for heavy lifting) Any strength training I do is at home with pretty light weights so I go barefoot but I want to start lifting heavier. My dad is going to give me his old bench and barbell.0 -
I can cram a lot of food into me when all bets are off, like Christmas and my vacations this year. I keep a category in my diary empty just to try logging those days. I need to get better at not trying to literally eat all the foodz, but I don't do very well moderating myself if I'm not actively trying to stay within a weekly maintenance or a deficit. I guess that's what eating as much as possible, as often as possible for years does to a person.
....My jaws and digestive track get so uncomfortable a few days afterward. I can't believe I didn't link my ear problems to jaw problems sooner.

I used to be able to eat a half a Papa Murphy's Family Size stuffed pizza by myself. Now, I can MAX 2 slices. *flexes muscles*
I'm not proud of this, but I used to (regularly) order and eat potato wedges, chicken strips, a large pizza and a tub of ice cream, from Pizza Hut. I always planned to eat the wedges and strips one night, and the pizza the next. never happened. and when pizzas were on bogoff, i used to order 2, planning to eat one, save one. nup, that never happened either. I am such a pig!
I'm not proud of myself...but I have days where I can eat the world. Like, disgustingly huge amounts of food. Not sure how it all fits in there...but yeah. Kinda gross.
Same here. Then, once the eat-the-world feeling wears off, I feel so disgustingly sick/full and my stomach feels like it wants to pop, and I wonder how I could have gotten to this point of fullness without feeling the discomfort beforehand. I have no idea how it happens! It's like my stomach goes numb for a while, then suddenly feels everything at once.
Yep that is definitely me!
I'm surprised that so many people can relate! I always feel so much guilt and self-disgust afterwards and all alone.
You definitely aren't alone. I do this to myself too, I'll just keep eating until I feel sick. The worst part is there's a little voice in the back of my head that points out A) that I'm not hungry and B ) it's not going to help me reach my goal, but I keep eating anyway.0 -

MY SO probably has a similar issue.

I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
I'd be thrilled to find something to help my husband's snoring! OMG, it's awful!!
More than once I have been commended for my lack of snoring. I guess my past girlfriends had been with some real log sawing fellas. I'm a very light snorer at best. Even my 10 year old snores louder than me.
Do you hear that ladies? Non-snorer here...
LOL at the bolded!0 -
I'm still working on getting caught up.
I went on a walk at lunch yesterday with a co-worker so that was good. I'm thinking about walking again today.
I have today and then half a day tomorrow for work so I'm in vacation mode already. This weekend I have my Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited (Pretty Lights Friday and Saturday). Hopefully no one laughs at me since I'm older but I bought jewels for my face so I'm going to put those on and I have Glowbys for my hair (fiber optic glow barrettes for hair). I'm just going to have fun. I'll try to post a pic in the batcave from my phone later of my trial run of the jewels to see what you guys think.
Friday morning we are going to Original Pancake house. Strawberry waffles and home fries here I come. Yay.
Cool! I used to be a raver and did all the decked out gear at one time. I've been an EDM DJ for over 5 years. I remember when Pretty Lights was just an up-and-coming midliner. Now he headlines all of his shows. Do you by chance like Bassnectar? He is always doing shows at RR.
Yes, I actually like Bassnectar as well but I've never been to their concert yet (I'm determined though!-I need to just go, I need more money haha). This will be my 3rd year going to the Pretty Lights Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited. I look forward to it every year. Tickets sell out so fast though.
That is awesome that you are an EDM DJ. We would get along pretty well. That's my favorite type of music. I'm kind of jealous, I always thought being a DJ would be pretty fun!
Any specific genres you like more than others? I am a huge Drum & Bass fan but also like Breakbeats, Psytrance....
This is a photo from a party about 5 years ago. From what you can see my apparel was rather loud and eclectic. lol
Awesome! Are those glow sticks too?
I like it all. Mostly anything with a lot of bass though. Love Drum and Bass. I don't even know what to categorize Pretty Lights music as but that I like it a lot. It helps calm me down when I'm stressed out.
It's funny because my second favorite type of music is old stuff like 1940's music. I'm weird like that. There is a spotify channel called electroswing or something like that and it has a lot of stuff I like (oldies mixed with electronic music)
Guys, I'm really sad because I was trying to post a picture on the random pic thread but it keeps showing up sideways no matter what I do to try to fix it.
Yes, there were some glow things around my neck. I was a very proficient glowsticker back then. I'll see if I can link you to some of my favorite mixes later this evening. Soundcloud is a great resource for new music.
I have a fondness for EDM too, but I only go to shows a couple times a year these days as I find the whole scene a bit overwhelming in my older, more sober years, lol. I do listen to drum and bass while I'm running though. And FroggyBug, I love that electroswing stuff too, I know a couple local DJs who play it and it's really fun. I'm also into a DJ named Pumpkin who plays lots of older music in his set.
I'm going to post a glowstick-y and bodypainted photo of me in the batcave too so you guys can see I've got EDM cred too

I have no idea about my snoring, lol
Whatever she called it, he promptly forgot. I don't think she said TMJ, though, he'd probably have remembered an acronym. But when he thought about it more, he does think the ear trouble began when he started the process of getting a dental implant.
Over the years I've heard of a lot of "ear problems" that turn out to be jaw problems.
Thanks @nonoelmo !
Dumb little confession: My sister bought a few trays of Trader Joe's mini carrot cakes to take something for work and I've been craving carrot cake all day because of it. I'm just too lazy to try to fix it, lol.0 -

*shudders at the sound of snipping flesh
I had no idea that you'd have such exercise restrictions after the procedure. Huh. I wonder why? Man, I feel like you might go crazy not being able to do all the things you're used to for 2 weeks! Ack!
Layman's explanation is that exercise increases the odds of infection by risking opening the wound and getting sweat and staph from your outer skin in it.
Its also on my shoulder so movement would aggravate it. And according to them delay 2 weeks of healing to become 3 months...and the scar will be uglier.
Not to show a lack of commiseration or anything... But shouldn't you be happier that the cancer is gone, rather than worrying so much about what you can't do while recovering? Cancer is nothing to mess around with, I would be super-relieved that it didn't spread further if I were you--considering how long you put it off.
I'm sure you know I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to give another perspective!
Nope, still sullen and cranky over not being able to ride.
That's exactly how I felt after having my gall bladder removed right in the middle of summer cycling season. The first question I asked the surgeon was, "How soon can I get back on my bike?"0 -
Soooooooooo.......they updated the work network again yesterday because of some bugs from the last time. Guess who has access to the boards again?

Yep, I know this feeling as well. Every time it happens I always think, this is awful and I will never do this again. And yet, it always happens again...
Yes! It reminds me of being young and stupid drinking too much, getting hung over and swearing to never drink again. But then what do you know, the next weekend...there you are again drinking.
I've been sober 8 months now...but I can't quit food
8 months is awesome. Great and I mean SUPER GREAT job!!!

To jump in on the McD convo: I used to get their sausage & egg biscuit, then add cheese to it (sorry @peleroja ). I also love their fruit & yogurt parfaits. Not too many calories, but quite tasty. I consider it a dessert for my biscuit sandwich.
Also, sometimes I just really want a McD's cheeseburger. The little one. I almost never actually spend 400+ calories on that little bugger, but yeah. That's the only non-breakfast thing I'll eat there, along with a hot fudge sundae. Heh
Confession. I haaate the word parfait. Not sure why.... but it could be the best thing on earth and I wouldn't order it if I had to say the name when ordering.
So you wouldn't order a peanut buster parfait from DQ because of the word "parfait"?! I do not understand this logic.
I don't go to DQ but IF I were to go and order that specifically, I would probably say something like 'peanut butter thing' while waving my finger towards where it's listed on their menu. Much like Wawa's 'sizzli' menu. I hate that word as well.
I'm not sure why I hate it other than it just sounds silly to me. I want to punch both of them.
Not peanut butter, peanut buster.
I kept thinking that was wrong but I couldn't remember what else it could be. Buster...Thanks for clearing that up.
You're welcome. Like I mentioned a million pages back, I worked at DQ in high school, so I'm quite familiar with their old school treats. The mint Dilly bar is still one of my most favorite things. I need one in my life soon.
That reminds me, someone (can't remember who) was talking about some frozen bars that were made from fruit juice or something and VERY low in calories. I think they're called Outshine or something, anywhoodles, I bought a mixed box last night at Target. The box has lime, strawberry, and raspberry. I'm most looking forward to the lime.
@m1xm0d3, Mr. Mo's favorite flavor so far is the Mediterranean Mint (I bought him a pint last night). I want to try the Roman Raspberry, but I can't justify spending $6 on a pint of gelato. I still have a full pint of B&J's Tonight Show Dough, and a full pint of Talenti cookie dough (I think).
I did! They're very yummy!! I buy the lemon and lime flavored ones!0 -

One of my favorite motivational quotes.

My confession? I don't eat pork anymore (for a variety of reasons) and haven't done for about 15 years. The thing i miss the most? McDonald's sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin.
A life without Canadian bacon, or regular bacon for that matter is scary lol.
May I ask the reasons?
I really dislike bacon.
The reasons are mostly, because improperly cooked pork can give you worms. And I had too many bouts, so i said no more. I only ever got them after eating pork. (and yes, i know you can get them from other things, and worse things from other meats). But touch wood, since not eating pork, i never had them again.
and also, i'm not really keen on the texture (i don't eat turkey or fish for the same reasons)
I haven't eaten pork since I was around 7 or 8 years old. It's a texture thing.
I have vivid memories of sitting at the dinner table with a wad of chewed pork chop in my mouth that I absolutely could not swallow.
I have never liked bacon. DD had a maple bacon donut on the menu today. I think that is weird. I don't get the bacon fascination.
The aroma, the flavor, the fact you can add it to any edible thing imaginable and it becomes even better than without. I looove me some bacon.
With that being said, I haven't had any in a few months.
A big juicy cheeseburger with perfectly cooked bacon on top is one of my guilty pleasures. Almost anytime I have the opportunity to eat a bacon cheeseburger, I most certainly will.
There's a local grill between work and home (read: temptation) that every Tuesday they offer a 1/2 lb burger with whatever you want on it (including bacon) plus boardwalk fries for $6.It's been about 5 months since I've had one but I think about that darn burger every stinking Tuesday. One of these days I am going to give in and it will be a glorious reunion of burger & taste buds.
You bet I'd be there!! YUMMM0 -
