I have been following this thread since day one and reading ALL the comments daily. I even make references to this thread to my boyfriend on a semi regular basis - he has pretty much forced me to post here as he says it's pretty creepy I read but don't engage! ( my apologies for the creepy-ness but I am annoyingly socially awkward)
Anyway, I wanted to post to say thank you to all of you for entertaining me and making me laugh - and sometimes cry - daily. Also for motivating me. Due to the many discussions on beginning weight workouts etc in recent weeks I have been moved to restart this myself. Weights 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks - let's just hope I can keep it up.
To sum up - thanks everyone for being a positive force in my life recently even though you didn't know it ( I'd insert a smiley face here but don't know how!) I shall crawl back under my rock now.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't go away! We need some new blood in here. Especially since our regulars are slowing down. Put it on your calendar and post 1 thought a day til you get comfortable! Most of us in here often didn't post anywhere else (myself included) for the same reason, but I am so glad I finally plunged in!
I am thinking of talking to the folks in the gym at work to do some weight training/education then trying the SL5x5 thing everyone is talking about... I am feeling left out... And I hate feeling left out!
You will love lifting! Let us know when you try it!
I'll admit, I was thinking about it too...but would have to buy the equipment for it because I don't do gyms!
Do it! I don't know how much it all costs though. Only if it is within your budget. Or you can join me lifting sofas and dogs...
start with a chihuahua and work your way up. A Great Dane gets you extra points!
You can work up to lifting your partner too, lol. My husband loves to tell me how many of me he can deadlift and tries to bench me sometimes too...but I'm way too squirmy/floppy (much like a chihuahua or, more likely, a Great Dane...) Big compound lifts for you, core strength from the necessary planking for him
Mr. Mo squatted me on his shoulders last week. It was awesome!
Mr. Mo is a stud!
Yes, he is!

first date #14
interacting online and via text, things were pretty cool.
good, fun interactions, actual conversations that moved past the "hi, how's your day going?" type thing.
but despite fun convo, dude kinda seemed like he was never going to actually ask me out, so on friday, i was like hey, if you wanna hang out let me know! so then we ended up going to a local place that evening.
in person, it was....awkward?
he was really quiet and withdrawn. which, i get the whole nervous first date type thing, but usually after a few hours, that lightens up a little. only it didn't. he just didn't seem very interested, and that's totally fine. but it still feels weird. so after a few hours, a few beverages, my filter ceases to exist, and upon saying good night (no attempt at a kiss or even a hug), the phrase "you poor boy" slipped out. eep.
que the ensuing text argument wherein any chance of a second date was destroyed. so despite what appeared to be a total lack of all interest, dude says he had a good time. but of course at this point, i'm all angsty and annoyed and say as much in regards to his stand-offishness, to which he does the fine, it's all me whatever, thing.
done and done.
i miss mr.jerkface more than i care to admit
Stupid frogs. I wish I could just conjure up Mr. Right-for-you and send him your way!
hehehehe, i wish you could too!
i just want to come home from work one day and have a cute dude sitting on my front porch, he knows all my weird quirks, likes to clean, can make me laugh, and wants to love me forevers.
is that too much to ask for?
This broke my heart. He's out there but he's a man so he won't stop and ask for directions.
Haha, that's totally what I'm gonna keep telling myself! [/quote]
I had to physically hit Mr. Mo with a door for our meet cute. Don't lose heart.
I have no idea why the quote is all jacked up.

Bwahahaha!
Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Last night date dude was 44. Tonight? TWENTY.
It's ok, I have no idea what i'm doing either, but he was really persistent, so I thought. ...what the hell?
I'm currently sitting at the restaurant's bar, waiting for the man child to show up.
Wish me luck! Lol0 -
Total lurker here, been reading from day 1. Commented a few times. All of you guys are so amazing and supportive of each other. I can't believe the thread has been going so long. Confession time for me, it's late and I'm back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off (looking after my Dad while my mum was on holiday) and I'm not looking forward to it. In the last fortnight I have eaten all of the foods, literally, there is now a chocolate and pizza shortage in my home town and it's all my fault.
Also KylerJaye, my boyfriend is 15 years younger than me and we've been together 3 years - if it works at the time for both of you, I see no issue. And I'm sorry for butting in, but I feel like I know you all

It's Sunday! A new week! I can do this! I will reach 175 by the end of October. Totally an achievable goal if I stick to my guns.
You got this! When you reach your goal which Fitbit did you want? I confess I had a few bad days with ice cream & even though I know better I only ate a little amount on Friday & tried the do the same Saturday to make up for it. I didn't binge yesterday, but I talked myself into eating a normal amount & getting back to the program.
Good on ya @kellyjellybellyjelly!
I wish I could say I held back on ice cream but I ate 4 servings in one setting. "It was Blue Bell and I couldn't help it" excuse just isn't really working for me.
I have no idea which Fitbit I want. I'm leaning towards the Charge no HRM because I don't feel it necessary. We'll have to wait and see though.
I've never tried Blue Bell. I wonder if any of the stores in the Northeast get it?
You can always use the excuse that it just came back & you wanted to taste test it to make sure it was still tasty.
Let us know which one you end up getting. I had no idea the Fitbit Charge HR posted messages on the display screen until last night when it told me I rocked. Thanks Fitbit for the props.
I am really starting to think my fitbit hates me. It doesn't talk to me. It doesn't tell me I rock.0 -

First date #16
Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.
So....bleh
Seriously! What is wrong with people? And isn't he a little old for you? Not judging, just asking.
LOL, sadly no! He's 44, I'm 34. I am having issues coming to terms with ages no longer being "too old" for me.
Try thinking 50+ men are now your age range. I can't imagine a 20 year old is going to hold your interest. But good luck.
ETA in case I want clear I now have to look at 50+ year old men as my age range.0 -

Yay! Great plan!0 -
I confess I am a little annoyed? Sad? Not sure which is the right emotion but I feel like every time I come out to my mom's lately there is someone here that I have to entertain. It's my niece so I am glad to see her but her friend unexpectedly came out as well. So I am on entertaining duty. I really just want to relax.
Whine over.0 -

I think I would be annoyed as well. I hate entertaining, especially when I didn't plan to be doing it.

Don't worry about eating All The Foods, we've all been there, and moved past it, and you can too!

Well I know where to go, know the roads, etc. So I can't just hang out in backyard reading my book for hours like I really wanted to do. I had to pick up the friend, take them to get food, to the beach then for a walk after dinner. I just want to do nothing! Sigh.0 -
Awww, the mobile app ate my entry. I'll have to go upstairs to the pc to try to get this figured out. grrrr0

I am not much of a sweet tooth. But I am a potato tooth. Is that even a thing? I love potatoes. Right now I'm eating through a second helping of potato bhaji. I am full and I am going to finish this second helping because my mouth is so in love with the browned potato/tumeric/lemon taste. I had curry red lentil and curry cauliflower with them, but the potatoes. MMMM.
Fried, hashed, baked, mashed. I love potatoes.
ETA - I think that is a recipe in the bat cave. I will look and add it if it is not there. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
It is in the Batcave. I changed it up tonight. I used red, white, and purple fingerling potatoes. I boiled them but didn't peel them. I can't have garlic so I always leave that out. (No, I am not a vampire, but garlic makes my joints ache.) As per my normal I didn't actually measure anything but the potatoes tasted fantastic. Daughter agreed.0 -

Before my daughter came to live with me, I did not even buy potatoes. I mean, I might have bought one or two here or there, but everything was served with pasta, lol.0 -

Pasta, gluten free pasta has improved a lot in the 21 years I've been gluten free, but it is not worth having as a side dish for everything.
ETA: I don't eat potatoes as often as you might think based on my loving post about them. But probably every two weeks or so...0 -
