Given my current week and my terrible eating habits, I'm going to give up chips and chocolate for lent. I'm not Catholic, but I like to follow some of their practices, because they make sense to me.
I had a really rough day yesterday and I'm wondering if a lot of it has to do with the no running thing. I know I'm a happier person when I am able to get my running in, treadmill walking doesn't cut it. I ordered new walking boots, and I'm hoping they come asap so I can take my walking outside. I think that might help a ton.
I really think you should try the pool running.0 -

I think there is much more to you that your passion for diet and fitness. What can't you share with your partner your interest in diet and fitness? What makes you feel like you have nothing to bring to the table?Yesterday was a lovely day. I finally got to give Phoebe a bath without fear she would shiver to death. She looked so shiny and beautiful when I left the barn.
I ate nearly an entire bag of gourmet popcorn that someone left at the barn. Then went to dinner with a friend. No alcohol was consumed by me, but a slice of cheesecake sure was. I was definitely over calories yesterday!
I bet Phoebe fills like a princess. Wants to go pet her shiny coat and feed her peppermints. She isn't on a diet is she. Can I fit it into her macro goals?
Looks up five guys burgers on map quest. There is one in the same city as I am thinking of running a 5K. Mental calculation of wether I could fit it into my macros. Checks to see if there is an offering for a 10K, Half marathon. Wonders if I could be able to crawl in and get one if I out do myself. Realize that I probably can make it work with the 5K, Wow I need to go back to sleep.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »TigerNY128 wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »

Me, too! I've never had it!
I'm gonna get some hate for this but I've had In N Out once when I was in Nevada and it was good but it didn't turn out to be something that I end up craving. I'd go again but usually when I think something is awesome, I end up thinking about it and craving it.The animal style fries were good and I do end up wanting those every now and then.
I actually like 5 guys burgers and fries best from what is available near me.
I
Five Guys! They are very celiac friendly and the fries....soooo yummy!Look what arrived!
Wow, I'm so jealous. Really wish I had room in my flat for a treadmill - would probably have to give up the couch to fit it in though. Maybe then I'll actually start running instead of just thinking about it. I've entered a 5k for end of April, downloaded the C25K app and bought new trainers. Now all I have to do is actually get my backside out of the house and start!
Ah, so you are British? Flat/trainers...
I haven't been great lately (ever?) training but am determined that February will change that.
Yep - guilty - I am British. So... what are the equivalent words for you guys??
Apartment and Gym Shoes or Sneakers (depending on what part of the country you are in). Or running shoes.
This, except here sneakers are like converse or skate shoes, and running shoes and gym shoes are like Nike, and New Balance
Funny story: When my youngest was 4 we went to get him sneakers for preschool, and when we got them, he was always putting them on in the house, and when asked why he said he wanted to be a ninja, and ninjas were sneaky so he needed his sneakers on so he could sneak
That was so cute! Kids are hysterical. I may borrow this.
Myles, That was such a cute story. I love listening to kids talk and how they think.Folks: THIS is what I am doing Thursday night:

Must have pics. You will have to have someone take a picture of you dancing too. No posing allowed.

You could always take the leftovers to work & put it in the break room.
I confess I've ate like a fat pig the past two days (Saturday/Sunday) & have gained a crazy amount of water weight. I'm mad at myself, but will get back to it today.
I still think one of my biggest triggers is eating too early in the morning. I think I'm going to start eating around 11:00 AM for my first meal (the time might fluctuate based off my work schedule) & then eat my later meal around 7-8 at night. This way I figure I can cut down on mindless snacking & at the same time include mini snacks with my main meals.
Sounds like a good plan. I discovered that if I don't eat protein in the morning there is no end to my hunger and snacking abilities.
Wendy, Phoebe looks like she needs to be on a diet. She is always permanently round like she is pregnant but unlimited peppermint are always in here macros.
Where are you doing the 5k?
That horse had to be photo shopped. I have never seen a horse that round! It was very funny though.
It's definitely photoshopped!0 -

Where are you doing the 5k?
I was looking at the Haltom Stampede Feb 13 but could not seem to register. It seems there are several different run clubs that you have to subscribe to before you register for a race. Is there any you think are better than others?
What I see is www.active.com,www.runnersworld.com, runningintheusa.com, races online.com, and run locator.com.
I found Carrollton runners club. that is not to far from here that has 5K races on the third and last Sunday of the month. Hubby and I signed up to have 12 races each with them and are waiting for our packets which will have timing clips. When we get that we can sign up for the actual races. On the third Sunday of the month they have a Prediction race, You try to predict the time of our race. You are not allowed to have any time keeping device on you during the race and whomever comes closest to the actual race time is the winner. Sounds interesting.
The last Sunday of the month is Family fun runs.
I'll see how it goes.
I like the sound of the prediction race. That would be fun. Most races don't require a running club membership? I am surprised you are finding that. I use a variety of sites including those above. Over time I have also signed up for various local newsletters too. So I get a lot of alerts.0 -

I ate hummus all the time. Like...all the time. Plus I don't cook so bread, french fries at restaurants when that was the only option. Lots of nuts. Guacamole. Ironically now that I am back eating dairy and seafood I am mostly vegan and eat much better and am maintaining (after losing what I gained). I rarely eat anything with dairy and fish.
That is why I have been thinking of trying vegan again. I think I'll be more successful. .
I was vegetarian 20 years and Vegan for 5. I'm still mostly vegan except butter, honey and 1-2 meals a week that have meat. Mostly with TK.
I love hummus and guac and nuts but don't do breads even gf beads.0 -

I ate a whole bag of white chocolate morsels the other day.
Today I am officially kicking my butt back into gear!
For Lent this year I have made up my mind & will
1. Give up eating ice cream (I still want to try the Target Cake My Day. If I find it I'll use it as a reward & eat it the day after Lent)
2. Not buy more processed snacks (I have a ton of protein bars, protein cookies, & ingredients to make my own snacks. There's no excuse).
I was going to say give up soda too, but I need my Diet Mountain Dew to get through my workday.
I've only just found out Lent starts next week. I always give up crisps & chocolate. Going to have to find a way to fit them into my calories for the next 5 days before I have to wave them goodbye!
I was going to give up wine too,but I don't want to push myself too far...
Good luck! I tried to give up chocolate for Lent once (not Catholic, just talked into it by a co-worker). Lent is LONG!!!
I haven't given up anything for lent in years. Should we do a lent challenge?
I will give up coffee and alcohol.
That would be cheating. I have been thinking of trying going vegan again. And not gain 40 lbs like last time. Maybe this is the time?
Can I add something for 40 days if it's a hardship instead of giving up? I am catholic but don't practice but I am sure this must be some loophole not often discussed... You practicing ladies is this possible?
According to Father Mike, if doing something is a greater sacrifice for you than stopping doing something, then yes it's fine. he used the example of running or swimming - I am not sure that counts for you, my triathlete friend. I usually stop doing something and try to do something charitable. For instance, if I give up coffee shop coffee, then I would donate the saved money to Compassion International I stead of spending it on myself. does that help?
Well making me do an hour of working out every day would be HARD!
An hour a day would be hard, but a short run or swim 3x/week wouldn't be hard for you.
No but for me "lent" I may combine vegan with an hour a day workout. I have been trying and failing at that goal for months
I started to say that finding an hour a day would be hard for me and then remembered that most days, I walk on my 30 minutes of lunch break, so I would only be looking for 30 more. The vegan part would get mw though, because I am allergic to coconut and soybeans in addition to having celiac. If I couldn't have Greek yogurt or meat, I would get no protein.
Father Mike specifically said if you take up running or swimming 3x/week and you haven't been doing it, it will be a sacrifice of your time and energy in order to care for your body and make it more useful to God. That's what Lent is for -- making yourself more useful to God.
Ok my list will officially be
No Ice Cream
No to buying more processed snacks (that will be hard with all the Easter goodies)
Workout for 45 minutes a day
Great goals!
Of course I stocked up on treats at Trader Joe's today, but you can't blame me since I've never stepped foot in one

I really think you should try the pool running.
I googled it, and I did one of the suggested beginner programs. It was interesting for sure. It just doesn't replace the mind clearing that I get when running, I have to think too much. It may be different after the first time.

Huh. Think you'll be able to make it, @MoHousdon?
I'll give up alcohol and Cadbury mini eggs. Oh, wait...
I don't know. The alcohol is looking more and more appealing with each passing day. We're having a company get together tomorrow at a hockey game (the owners of the stadium are treating us to their box) and they are providing a bunch of free food (my favorite of all foods) and drinks. If alcoholic drinks are included, I might just have to have 1. If they're not included, I will stick with my love, DP.
Please don't judge my diary tomorrow.
I'm going to judge it hard and send you messages about it just to be a *kitten*
Hahahaha! We'll only judge you if you drink an off brand Dr. Pepper.
I had Mr. Pibb at Chipotle last Saturday, but only 1 cup and that was ONLY because they don't have DP and I didn't want Coke Zero. Please don't judge me too much.
You ate at Chipotle so it's all good. Steak burritos *drools* 0 -

Patricia, thank you for the Valentine card! How sweet you are x x
Also, I need to ask you about feeding horses treats. Is there an etiquette to it? There are 8 horses who live on Batcave Acres at the moment, and I would love to give them treats, but I wondered if it's a no-no unless the owner has specifically approved it?

Here is my little confession for Friday.
I can't stand it when someone (my husband) takes something out of the microwave before the time is up and they don't push the clear button.
However, I am guilty of doing something that would drive 90% of the world's population absolutely crazy, I leave cupboard doors open all the time.
OMG. I thought I was the only one that got annoyed by the microwave thing. LOL
I can't believe the people who put their food in the microwave & then forget about it for around 5-10 minutes. I guess they're not hungry/hangry.0 -

I bought most of the fattening snacks.
I got two of the Cookie Butter cheesecakes, Mini Cookie Butter Cheesecake bites, one jar of their cookie spread/chocolate, their cookie spread cookies, & one other package of cookies.
I bought a few of their yogurts which I thought where priced around the same as Wal-Mart, Target, Grocery stores.
I bought this interesting looking Filo cheese spiral & some frozen meals that were priced pretty decently.
My sister didn't buy much but she bought two asparagus bunches since they were $1.99 a bunch. She said that usually around here it's $1.99 a pound.
We went to Whole Foods first, but I didn't see anything that caught my eyes there. They had a decent ice cream section, but nothing that caught my eyes. My youngest niece loved their little customer carts.
If anyone has a Disney store near them they had a good deal on their plush characters. They were Buy one get one for a dollar. I told my niece she could pick out one & get one for a dollar. It averaged out to be around $10.00 each for the stuffed characters. I thought we would be in there all day since she kept picking them up & putting them down. She ended up getting Anna & Sven (Frozen).0 -

Hi
I decided to try running for 3 miles without stopping today to get ready for the 5K
This is what I did
Got home and showed hubby
He smiled and told me he had signed up for the prediction race and guessed 35 minutes.
I'm super excited about this because I haven't run more that a mile strait without stopping before.0 -

I ate a whole bag of white chocolate morsels the other day.
Today I am officially kicking my butt back into gear!
For Lent this year I have made up my mind & will
1. Give up eating ice cream (I still want to try the Target Cake My Day. If I find it I'll use it as a reward & eat it the day after Lent)
2. Not buy more processed snacks (I have a ton of protein bars, protein cookies, & ingredients to make my own snacks. There's no excuse).
I was going to say give up soda too, but I need my Diet Mountain Dew to get through my workday.
I've only just found out Lent starts next week. I always give up crisps & chocolate. Going to have to find a way to fit them into my calories for the next 5 days before I have to wave them goodbye!
I was going to give up wine too,but I don't want to push myself too far...
Good luck! I tried to give up chocolate for Lent once (not Catholic, just talked into it by a co-worker). Lent is LONG!!!
I haven't given up anything for lent in years. Should we do a lent challenge?
I will give up coffee and alcohol.
That would be cheating. I have been thinking of trying going vegan again. And not gain 40 lbs like last time. Maybe this is the time?
Can I add something for 40 days if it's a hardship instead of giving up? I am catholic but don't practice but I am sure this must be some loophole not often discussed... You practicing ladies is this possible?
According to Father Mike, if doing something is a greater sacrifice for you than stopping doing something, then yes it's fine. he used the example of running or swimming - I am not sure that counts for you, my triathlete friend. I usually stop doing something and try to do something charitable. For instance, if I give up coffee shop coffee, then I would donate the saved money to Compassion International I stead of spending it on myself. does that help?
Well making me do an hour of working out every day would be HARD!
An hour a day would be hard, but a short run or swim 3x/week wouldn't be hard for you.
No but for me "lent" I may combine vegan with an hour a day workout. I have been trying and failing at that goal for months
I started to say that finding an hour a day would be hard for me and then remembered that most days, I walk on my 30 minutes of lunch break, so I would only be looking for 30 more. The vegan part would get mw though, because I am allergic to coconut and soybeans in addition to having celiac. If I couldn't have Greek yogurt or meat, I would get no protein.
Father Mike specifically said if you take up running or swimming 3x/week and you haven't been doing it, it will be a sacrifice of your time and energy in order to care for your body and make it more useful to God. That's what Lent is for -- making yourself more useful to God.
Ok my list will officially be
No Ice Cream
No to buying more processed snacks (that will be hard with all the Easter goodies)
Workout for 45 minutes a day
Great goals!
Of course I stocked up on treats at Trader Joe's today, but you can't blame me since I've never stepped foot in one. Since it's not Lent yet it's all good.
I do about half my shopping in TJ's and have since 1991. They are pretty gf friendly. I hope you got things you like. They have the best price of dried fruits and nuts. They have the best price on some other specialty foods that are safe for us to eat.
I bought most of the fattening snacks.
I got two of the Cookie Butter cheesecakes, Mini Cookie Butter Cheesecake bites, one jar of their cookie spread/chocolate, their cookie spread cookies, & one other package of cookies.
I bought a few of their yogurts which I thought where priced around the same as Wal-Mart, Target, Grocery stores.
I bought this interesting looking Filo cheese spiral & some frozen meals that were priced pretty decently.
My sister didn't buy much but she bought two asparagus bunches since they were $1.99 a bunch. She said that usually around here it's $1.99 a pound.
We went to Whole Foods first, but I didn't see anything that caught my eyes there. They had a decent ice cream section, but nothing that caught my eyes. My youngest niece loved their little customer carts.
If anyone has a Disney store near them they had a good deal on their plush characters. They were Buy one get one for a dollar. I told my niece she could pick out one & get one for a dollar. It averaged out to be around $10.00 each for the stuffed characters. I thought we would be in there all day since she kept picking them up & putting them down. She ended up getting Anna & Sven (Frozen).
What you bought sounds wonderful - but nothing on your list is safe for me so I can't give you a pre-review review.
They do make a very solid gf frozen waffle. I prefer their PB to all others (just peanuts and salt). They have a few frozen items I buy once in awhile. Their 72% chocolate in the red wrapper is my daily chocolate fix. They have an amazing GF chocolate chip cookie that even TK loves. I buy quinoa, rice pasta, coconut milk, olive oil, lara bars, corn chips, bagged spinach, and so on there. They have the best price on frozen fruits for smoothies too.0 -

I can't stand it when someone (my husband) takes something out of the microwave before the time is up and they don't push the clear button.
However, I am guilty of doing something that would drive 90% of the world's population absolutely crazy, I leave cupboard doors open all the time.
OMG. I thought I was the only one that got annoyed by the microwave thing. LOL
I can't believe the people who put their food in the microwave & then forget about it for around 5-10 minutes. I guess they're not hungry/hangry.
Really they are hungry just really distracted. I stopped bringing anything to work that needs to be microwaved because I'm always getting pulled away from my food. Now I bring things that I can eat on the fly.0 -

Haha. That's one of mine too, and I'm judging you for leaving cupboard doors open. Judging you SO MUCH.
It drives me crazy when my wife initiates an 8 oz pour of water in a glass from our fridge dispenser, walks away, and forgets about it, leaving a full glass just sitting there! She does it like 2-3 times a day
I do that sometimes but not 2-3 times a day. I use a refillable bottle at home so I usually realize it when I go to fill it again. My husband will leave 1/2 glasses of water all over the place. Not usually a good idea with a 3 year old around.
My daughter keeps enough half empty bottles of water in her room to fill a land fill at any given time.....0 -

I was really impressed with how decently priced their items were. The prices seemed similar to what other big box or grocery stores would charge. The only cheaper store for items around me would be the Bargain Outlet, but even with that store you have to really study the items & compare to the other stores. I thought it was cute that they had a bell that they rang when there was an issue at the register.
I barely bought anything at the mall. I bought one shirt at H&M for $9.99. Shopping at thrift stores, T.J. Maxx, www.6pm.com has spoiled me on not paying full price & even some of the clearance prices at department stores/malls. Nordstrom had a lot of nice jeans, but I am not paying $179.00-200.00+ for jeans. There was a Nordstrom Rack around the area too, but didn't find many jeans in my size (31-32).0 -

We don't even get to see the commercials in Canada!0
