I was getting worried! That you were abandoning me. And... I am still planning on climbing that mountain next year!
Oh no! I'm not abandoning you! Gonna start joggling (walk/jogging) outside this week with @girldownsouth in preparation. I'm just hoping i can afford it!
And we are so doing the mountain. I've been looking at renting a little cabin or cottage near by, which might be nicer than a hotel/B&B

Not all men. Mr Tubbs would ask them if they thought that was an appropriate conversation to have in front of ladies. He would also give them his Oprah look. He's braver than me. I'd think of something smart and withering to say 20 minutes later.
not to be contrary or anything, but i don't see the issue with their conversation. 2 adults were having a conversation, in the vicinity of other adults. I don't see how discussing toilet habits or scabs impacts family values? You overhear all sorts of conversations, in all sorts of places. Its up to you if you're going to be offended by it, but really, what does being offended achieve? (Check out Steve Hughes - offended on youtube).
And i really don't go for the idea that ladies are fragile wall flowers with delicate constitutions and ears.
and presumably, if you're hanging out in the weights room, the guys are giving you the kudos of being strong individuals, not likely to be offended by a few words, which were not addressed to you?

Then these men should clearly know that bathroom habits and scabs are strictly discussed over food!

Welcome back! And I like honey too... But don't seek it out. Too much sugar. I would be terrified of getting honey from a hive. Yikes!
I seek out local honey and eat a teaspoon daily during peak allergy season. I couldn't tell you why it helps, but it does.

"The idea behind eating honey is kind of like gradually vaccinating the body against allergens, a process called immunotherapy. Honey contains a variety of the same pollen spores that give allergy sufferers so much trouble when flowers and grasses are in bloom. Introducing these spores into the body in small amounts by eating honey should make the body accustomed to their presence and decrease the chance an immune system response like the release of histamine will occur. Since the concentration of pollen spores found in honey is low -- compared to, say, sniffing a flower directly -- then the production of antibodies shouldn't trigger symptoms similar to an allergic reaction. Ideally, the honey-eater won't have any reaction at all."
I got all that from How Stuff Works dot com.

And here I was just listening to my mom because her grandmother was a medicine woman. LOL! Anywho, time for a trip to the farmer's market. I am getting low on honey.

*post boyfriend update*
so that's the end of that.
after a solid month of seeing each other almost every. single. day. and him making the point to "be exclusive," dude decided that "i don't think that this is working for me."
i got about three hours of sleep last night, they weren't concurrent either. so apologies for the rambles.
first he said it was because *i* wanted too much commitment, to which i kindly reminded him that *he* was the one that wanted to be exclusive, then he just said that he wasn't sure if i was the *one* for him.
i do know that a lil more than a week ago, his ex-wife from six years ago reached out to him to try and rekindle things. he initially said he wasn't interested, maybe that changed?
or he simply just panicked and fled.
same end result.
i'd be lying if i said i wasn't devastated. and this is probably stupid of me too, but i really, honestly, thought he was the one for me. finally after all the horrors, and downright brutal treatment i endured both physically and emotionally...i thought it was actually my turn to be happy.
i'd also be lying if i said i wasn't furious with myself for allowing myself to get so involved and excited and be so foolish.
i should know better.
i do know better.
i think i'm just going to take a break from everything for a while.
my brain keeps flashing this lil image of a tiny hand setting a brick on a wall that's slowly being finished.
*ETA* can i also add how ridiculously embarrassed i am about all of this?
Oh no! Massively disappointing! I'm so sorry he turned out to be fickle.
But you DO deserve to be happy!!!!0 -

I'm getting mine fixed. I'll need chest reduction, arms, and tummy tuck. Probably more but that's enough surgeries for me. We are not rich, and I am terrified of something going wrong, but...losing 170 lbs wrecks your body. I actually can't even work out the way I want without rubbing the skin, getting rashes, etc.
I could go on and on for the reasons why it's necessary for my well-being, but it is. I have to do it in stages, so I'm looking at Stage 1 being in Nov and Stage 2 being in May.
I have 3 consults scheduled for this Wed and I'm nervous/excited.
Awesome. I am 100% in favor of plastics and once I get to maintenance I'm doing it, too.0 -

Ooh, that's still quite a haul. Where do you sell your honey? Does it have to be treated in any way before you can sell it?
Glad you can access the forums again!
Nope, we sell it raw/strained. We don't heat process it; just filter it to get most of the cappings out and bottle it. I sell a ton at work, ship some to friends and family and we also have a little stand up by the road. We'd like to eventually sell some at the maple syrup factory up the road.0 -

I have a break-up songs playlist I can send you if you like. It starts off with the sad, sappy stuff then moves to the more empowering stuff. My personal favorite is Cake's version of I will survive (has some swearing). Love that song!!! I will play it here loudly shortly in honor of you. I do believe it is on YouTube too.
I have both original and Cake version of that song! I
them both! 0 -

The issue I had is this is a place that specifically targets a more cultured crowd and is a club not a typical gym. The conversation was at a shout. They were less than five feet from me and daughter. Some people, daughter among them, get woozy with medical descriptions very easily. The conversation was outside of social norms for the setting. I specifically go to this club because it is very friendly toward families working out together.
ETA. I have seen daughter pass out with not much more than that. May sound ridiculous but she's dropped in the middle of a conversation.
RTA #2 In the combined years (just rejoined) I've been going there this is the first conversation overheard that has been along those lines. The reason I pay far too much for a membership is because I specifically want a place where my kids feel safe and is not the typical gym or weight room. This place never has a meatmarket or "guys hanging out" feel to it. If I were at Golds (used to be a member in Venice Beach) I'd expect that conversation. If this were any inexpensive gym I'd expect a meat market. So my issue is that that conversation was LOUD, nearby, and way out of the norm for the setting, which is a club and not a gym. A normal toned conversation I probably would not have commented on -- this conversation drew stares from all over the room.

Stopping by randomly to say I am in a meeting where every other word out of this woman's mouth is'super'. She is our new VP of Marketing Communications /Brand. I think it's funny. I wonder if she is one of our friends.

I am going to buy more bars tomorrow cuz I am down to a half dozen (

Do you just put it in there for a bit or full out freeze it and eat it straight out of the freezer?
I've never had it frozen, just from the fridge after being there all day during work. Freezing it would probably be really yummy too. Try it both ways and let me know which is better. I'm down to my last bar today which just so happens to be cookies and cream. It is in the work fridge as we speak.

I confess that I ate all the fried cheese sticks with marinara sauce ordered on Saturday night. I had accounted for a certain number in my food diary before sharing the balance with everyone else. But I couldn't help myself - gobbled the entire order. I have recommitted myself to staying on the path to healthy eating.
Fried cheese is the devil.
