    I just ate an entire package of lemon creme cookies! What was I thinking?

    That lemon creme cookies are delicious!

    Can you spread them out over the week to minimize the damage?

    I'll just take the hit, I don't usually log every day anyway it was about 700 calories

    Yea, I just snarfed down a Panera bread oatmeal cookie, I haven't even looked up the calories yet...... :/

    ETA: looked it up and wished I had remained ignorant!! Well I still have about 450 left for the day and my protein count is alright, so I guess I will be ok. It was a pretty good cookie, I don't know about almost 400calories worth of good, but good.

    I don't know if it's the crappy weather, PMS, fall allergies, or what, but all I want to do this whole week has been to crawl back into bed with a good book and lots of chocolate. My eating has been pretty bad (although I did get my fudgy brownie and I don't regret it). I need to start logging my food again...

    I felt this way this AM. I honestly felt my NSV was just getting out of bed. And showering. And getting to work.

    On some days, those truly are victories. I speak from experience! :)

    Yep, I almost posted it in the NSV thread! Because today...it was a victory. I have been plowing along getting stuff done today (losing a bit of focus now obviously) but definitely feeling a lot better! Now I need YOU to feel better (you should be heading off to bed soon, you can dream of that cheesecake!).

    And it's an awesome victory! <3 I know how hard it is some days. Glad you're feeling better. :smiley: Yup, it's phones-off time for me and bed in about 45 minutes. :) Goodnight, folks! ;)

    Bed time for you, and I'm sitting here with 2 hours remaining in the work day.

    Night-night! :)

    Lol. I just finished lunch.

    Me too at that time lol.

    Yeah, our time differences are pretty significant! I'm ahead of the U.S. by 8 to 12 hours, depending on the state--Not sure about Canada's time zone, though. :)

    We're the same as the U.S. Unless you live in Newfoundland. They have their own time, 30 minutes ahead of the rest of the maritimes.

    I posted this at 5 am in case you want to know how far ahead of me you are.

    That would be exactly seven hours, then! ;) It's noon here. :)

    @nonoelmo and @KylerJaye what was that phrase to use for a date that was okay but not second date or 'spark' worthy?

    I can update on the date late tonight/tomorrow but I need to politely turn down the idea of a second date. He's nice and all but it's just not there, you know?

    Something like:

    You are a wonderful man. I'm really glad we met. I didn't feel the type of connection that I am looking for in a relationship.

    OMG I just found this post... I'm ashamed that I've spent a great deal of my work day reading this thread (page 26 @_@)

    Anything salty or savory is my kryptonite... I'm a vegan but I get weak in the knees when it comes to mac and cheese or a pizza with white sauce and cheese (I know, I know... bad vegan). I have ordered a small pizza SWEARING I'll stop at 1/4 of it... then 1/2... eventually one hour into Skyrim or Fallout and I've devoured the entire thing.

    What exactly is bad about having dairy occasionally? It's not like choosing to eat vegan is a religion and there's a nun waiting to smack your hand with a wooden ruler for breaking the rules. Unless you eliminated dairy for a medical reason, then enjoy it when you really want it.

    Not a gym confession, but my friend is getting back together with her loser boyfriend. He treats her like dirt. I hate him. Anyways, she made him some fall cookies. I might or might not have licked some of them. :p

    HA HA that's amazing! You get first taste, OBVIOUSLY!

    My two confessions for the day:

    1. I am already debating in my head how I want to attack Thanksgiving/Christmas meals this year. I am thinking that I'll eat around 1,300-1,600 a week before the holidays & then have a lot of extra calories to eat back from Fitbit. I don't plan on having an all out gorge like last Christmas, but it would be freeing to know that I can overindulge without having to worry about much.
    2. It's 7:39 & I've already ate a thousand calories. This isn't a binge, but I find on my days off I like to eat a lot of my calories earlier.

    Pre planning awesome
    I hear that it is best to have your first meal of the day to be a big one and that eating less before you go to bed promotes weight loss.

    I've pretty much been doing the opposite of that, and I'm doing OK. I think it's whatever works for you is what promotes weight loss. If it isn't sustainable for YOU, then it isn't going to work. I have to have dessert every night. If I try to deprive myself of that, I freak out and eat ALL THE FOODZ. So, if I work about 250-300 calories of ice cream into my diary every night, I do much better.

    I don't eat breakfast until 9:00 to 10:00 most mornings, because I'm not hungry. Why eat when I'm not hungry? You can't "kickstart" your metabolism. Your metabolism is what it is, unless you have done some serious damage to it (i.e., anorexia).

    Ok, I'll get off my soapbox. One last comment of - don't believe all the gimmicks you hear. 99% of them are just that, gimmicks.

    This. I went to the doctors about this and he said it is not possible to simply slow down or speed up your metabolism. All the teas, pills and potions are false. Your metabolism is linked to your thyroid and if you have a problem with your metabolism its a serious issue with your thyroid.

    Please don't fall into these traps. If you need support we are here for you!

    I was such a child last night, wanted a takeaway for tea but nobody else did, so you would think I should say good, I can stick to my calories, but nope, I sulked, to myself. And had chocolate and crisps for tea, but hey, was still within my calories :smile:

    I felt like such a kid yesterday eating Frankenberry cereal for breakfast.

    My SO would love that stuff! We already come back from US trips with huge boxes of Captain Crunch with Crunchberries.

    I just flexed to check out my arm in my office mirror. It's a tiny cheap "locker" mirror that I have on the wall and it's to prevent disasters like walking around sporting a mascara smear or food in my teeth, so I had to move around to view my whole arm.

    I like muscles. :) But I'm really glad nobody saw me do that.

    I like muscles too.

    Me too, but mine are still under a protective layer.
