Thanks to all for the replies. Plan on bouncing between hotels/neighborhoods when I first arrive. And last night, I was looking online in the Beachwood area, and Crocker Park. Friends have also suggested I look in Ohio City and Tremont. I'm at that point now where the move is a mix of adventure and "let's go try this place…

Really great thread. Thanks to all for sharing!

1. sweet potato chips have the same bad qualities as normal potato chips, and 2. they taste really bad.

Thoughts for the day: 1. sweet potato chips have the same bad qualities as normal potato chips, and 2. they taste really bad.

Anxiety attack led to a lot of hard pretzels and a huge chocolate peanut butter cookie. Still feeling the anxiety, and now I'm bloated. So, when it feels like you're about to go under, how do you deal with your issues?

Same here. I've loved noon-time walks lately, feeling the sun on my face. It's rejuvenating.

I am really loving fresh berries and cottage cheese far more than I've enjoyed a glazed donut. I know, it doesn't sound as appealing. But I just feel so much better -- literally, better inside -- than the donut. Hang in there. The craving passes.

Congrats on the baby! And best wishes on achieving your goal. :)

I've been there. Not with the deep frying, but I live in a neighborhood where I can walk to restaurants and bakeries and ice cream shops. Amazing how far I can go off course with the slightest bit of temptation. Hang in there. And enjoy the chocolate when you go off kilter. :)

Looking to get my life back in balance in all things: body, mind, at work, at home. Addressing my anxiety with meditation and gratitude. How's that for an introduction? :)

Meditation. Anyone tried it? Liked it? I've done it for 12 days now, a Gratitude plan by Deepak Chopra. I cannot vouch for whether I'm truly getting it, but I do feel more calm as I go through my day.

Yes. And I lied to get the job. HYE meditated?

According to the Genius at the Apple bar, the reason why my Mac and my iPhone no longer sync and talk to each other is because my Mac is "vintage". Makes it sound exotic, like a collector's item. So at least I have that going for me.

Complete smorgasbord of bad foods yesterday. At least I didn't drink, so the only hangover I'm feeling is from the excess calories. Woke up with a craving for watermelon and blueberries and cantaloupe.

Every few months. Warm bread is amazing! HYE catastrophized something in your head, but then it turned out wonderfully well?

@caco_ethes Awesome post! Thanks for sharing it. Made me laugh this morning and will probably carry throughout the day!

Good morning, all. Two good days of calorie counting, and I should have the power to run my own days today and tomorrow, which means I could have another two successful counts. It really does feel great to hit a goal, doesn't it?

Total mishap with the blender and the frozen banana this morning. Either my freezer has made them a la concrete, or the blender has died. I tried to pull into a CVS to find some shake alternative, but ended up at the arrivals gate for National airport instead. So much for my ability to follow Garmin. So the 6 ginger…

ICT I had 6 cookies for breakfast. I had good intentions for a protein shake but had a total mishap with the blender and the frozen banana.

@ArmstrongSabrina Your post is great, and sums up my life, too. And then add to it a wife who has the will power to eat 1/4 of a candy bar and then save the rest for later. I usually finish it off. I've also found that I get wrapped up in work, as in, I can't exercise this morning, because I have to get to work early so I…

Yes. And married her. (And still married 20 years later!) HYE stayed up all night watching movies?

Right there with you, and for me, it's stress eating. And I don't even notice how much I've eaten until there is no more left. Literally. Like, where did that entire can of almonds just go? If only I could binge eat carrots or celery. Anyway, I know I'm going through some things here, and I am slowly sorting through it…

Honestly, no. HYE come close to losing it all?

So what's your secret to being consistent? I'll track for maybe 3 days, and then totally blow the calorie count. Which means no motivation to track again. And then I'll step on the scale a week later, and tell myself, 'you really need to start tracking again'. Repeat.

Yes. And let's go way back in time -- HYE shared a party phone line with the neighbors?

@123tacos and @Rez_jr -- Siri and I aren't communicating....she keeps thinking I'm saying, "Tell who is the views on intercourse" ...

Growing up in NW Pennsylvania, yes, I've been stuck a few times in snow. HYE gotten lucky enough to be seated next to a really cool stranger on a plane?
