green beans (didn't know asparagus came in a can. . . cant imagine that's a good thing) One piece of high-quality chocolate or a handful of cheap chocolate-flavored candy?

I have 16 oz cup of filtered water (or more) with my morning workout. A 32 oz jug of iced tea made with that same filtered water goes to work with me and comes home empty. And another 16 oz glass of filtered with ice for dinner. There is sometimes additional coffee or tea, but these always happen. I've always been a camel…

I just had my first MRI in years. . . waiting for the Dr to tell me if I'm going back on meds. I've managed to lose 30 lbs but have hit a bit of a stall. 5 months seems to be my limit on behaving lol. The catch on my "buckle down" is broken and I'm not putting my heart into fixing it. The thing that kickstarted me was…

I wish I had started on developing healthier habits 10 years ago. Better to get yourself in the habit of being healthy now, because it will only get harder the longer you put it off. I've never had a good "satiety" impulse. So measuring out food is super-important, or yes, I will eat till it's gone. One thing I did when I…

A truly wonderful cook should be able to make healthy food taste wonderful too. It's not like there aren't dozens of cookbooks or online resources to get him started. Pay attention to portion sizes. When I've filled my (salad) plate with my measured meal I evaluate the state of my stomach. If I feel like it isn't going to…

It's named Soylent BECAUSE he has a sense of humor and couldn't resist calling it that. There was a really good article about it in PopSci last year. It was designed to be Total Meal Replacement. To simplify meal preparation and make consumption itself more efficient and healthy. If I didn't have a family that insists on…

I'm in! I've got 30 days to lose the last 5. Must start considering how I will celebrate my victory. . .

A massive crockpot of Chili is good for gaming days, or we do Papa Murphy's a lot. King of Tokyo is basic and fun for kids. The 8 yr old picked it up no problem and the younger kids are happy to "help" an adult. Thing 1 also likes Ticket to Ride which is more involved, and could probably manage Carcasone. But I don't think…

Only have my iPad today, I'll enter my numbers tomorrow

I wondered about that LOL.

Currently watching Knights of Sidonia on Netflix. Gonna run out of episodes soon though :(

Mine is open, I log everything except special occasions. Feel free to add/take a look :)

Finished Deathstalker, was fine, wouldn't call it a favorite. Then buzzed through Wings of Fire:The Dragonete Prophesy (Kid Lit, will have to buy the next "for my son") The Giver (really enjoyed it up till the climax, nothing against non-happy endings as long as they make sense for the characters) Got about 1/4 of the way…

I liked Pacific Rim - Because I went in thinking "Cool, Mechs Vs Giant Monsters" I got exactly what I wanted. Snowpiercer was OK. . . found the blatant inconsistencies made it difficult to maintain the Willing Suspension of Disbelief, and the ending was a bit of a thud.

I don't work on Thursday, so didn't weigh in till this morning. Things have slowed down for sure, but I'm still moving!

Hitting a dog on your bike isn't a joke. My Dad shattered a helmet and multiple bones after a similar collision. Even a small animal can cause a crash, so you should absolutely try to avoid it and not just "ride through"

I know my best friend does a chocolate/coke cake (sometimes spiked with Kraken after it's baked!) pretty often. Mom did the WW applesauce substitute in cornbread for a while when I was in high school. You know it's bad if the teenagers refuse to eat it and bake their own pan. . . Wow. To think my brother and I used to…

I'll watch it just for pretty visuals, when it's on BluRay. Heaven knows I don't watch Avatar for the originality Lol. Desperately waiting for Jurassic World though, really hoping it doesn't suck.

I'm just thrilled I've gotten half-way to my 100 day goal. Part of me looks at losing 9 lbs in the next 5 weeks, and doesn't think I can pull it off. I've just got to remember that I've dropped 11 in the last 5, so another 9 shouldn't be an insurmountable goal.

Lol, I'm with Fitgirl. Still not interested in watching the game, but I'd like to see if they follow through :)

I notice no one is mentioning whether they are watching subtitles or dubbed versions. Sometimes they've done a really good job with the dubbing, but others just break your heart. I grew up watching Voltron, and now that I've seen Golion its practically like watching an entirely different show. Half of the stuff that's been…

Has anyone spoken to the girl who set this up? She would be the most logical choice for contacting people who joined in to encourage them to participate. Be she doesn't seem to be participating herself.

OMG the Voltron one!! Must resist, must save money for adult things. . . like food and electricity.

Good thoughts. I'm glad you're here to be our cheerleader :smiley:

Are we 10 days short on the spreadsheet? I only count 90?

Managed two despite going to an Omakase a week ago. No complaints here!

I have no scale at home, so I weigh at work. I dump my coat and figure since I'm pretty much a consistent t-shirt and jeans wearer my clothes shouldn't vary that much. I'll admit to getting rid of my big fuzzy boots today too. Lots of fun standing on a metal scale in a warehouse in bare feet :) I did consider pulling off…
