An update, a request for opinions, and a confession. Update: I actually REALLY liked the lemon cake Halo Top! It was sorbet-ish, but not. Which makes very little sense, I realize. But the lemon helped to dull the artifical sweetner after taste. Again, if I want to indulge, I'm scarfing Talenti, but I think I'll keep this…

Arctic Zero is pretty much the worst thing to ever happen to ice cream. :(

I choked on water!

You win all the things. @caitwn - Don't go anywhere. Creeper posts come and go, but real confessors stick around!

Sent. :)

I briefly thought maybe he'd just missed a word after "her" (like, Gameboy). Then I stalked his friends list and it's sexy selfie central, so... ETA: I type too fast.

So, the vanilla Halo Top was alright. I thought it had a slightly weird aftertaste, and didn't really care for the texture. Being so low in fat made it kind of crumbly instead of creamy. I'll try the lemon tonight, but I expect a similar situation. I'd probably keep a pint in the freezer for dessert emergencies, but if I'm…

AWESOME! I <3 StrongLifts.

1) Salted Caramel is my lifeblood. 2) I don't have the option to eat chocolate, so that may have something to do with it. I bought the vanilla and lemon cake Halo Top! The pints are SUPER lightweight. It's kind of weird. They're also $$$. :/

Super great.

I'm keeping up! But today was our monthly staff meeting so I was occupied - doing basically nothing mind you - for nearly 2.5 hours.

I was an absolute SPAZ when I first started lifting**. I eventually figured it out by going at off peak times when the gym was virtually empty, so it was impossible to feel like anyone was watching me. As I got more comfortable with it, I stopped even noticing if anyone was around and resumed normal gym attendance hours.…

I went to the gym with my other half yeserday. He did 20 minutes on the ARC trainer, then briefly hit the shoulder and chest press. I did a full StrongLifts 5x5 Workout A, pullups, dips, and assorted ab work in between sets (I can't sit around for 2 minutes!). His biceps may be bigger than mine, but I can absolutely out…

It's one of those things where I was all "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MEASURE PROGRESS" in my head at some point, and has since stuck. Someday, I will do it unassisted! (Same for dips, which are somehow "easier")

Reviving this! My wedding is next October (2016). I was going to wait until the fall to buy, but I've found a few dresses I like and will likely make the decision to get one of those. I can totally get into an 8 now, but will probably be able to fit into a 6 in a few months. Do I wait and be sure I can get into the 6…

Life got super obnoxious and I kind of forgot about checking back on this. Whoops. 1-6th: Lots of hospital hall walking and necessary yard work. Nothing concrete. 8-14th: One cardio day and one lifting day in the gym, plus more yard stuff. Things are calm now, so the rest of the month should be way more awesome. Weeee!

Update: FIL is home from the hospital (as of Thursday night). So far things are going alright. He's still got to take it easy, and the meds will take time and multiple adjustments, but overall, things are peachy. NSV: Made it back to the gym to lift yesterday (SL5x5, how I've missed you), and it was AWESOME. Despite the…

^ This. :)

I cut mine off to donate two years ago! I was going to try to do it this year (I can't just let it grow without constant trims because it makes me crazy), but with the wedding next year I'd like to have some long hair options. After that though!

That's seriously awesome to hear/read. I applaud your handling this so well.

I like to tell myself that my other half will be honest if something looks terrible on me, though he's biased as to what "terrible" might be. I also know that I have friends who will walk that gentle but discouraging line, who I COULD press for a really honest answer if I felt like I could take the truth. Haha.

Otherwise known as the amazing phenomenon where you wake up feeling awesome after a hard workout, and then can't move by noon! ;)

Hit the "quote" button on the bottom of the post you want to reply to. Then it will box it up for you all nice like that ^. :)

Awesome!

Too many posts already to try to quote so thanks, all!

I have two updates! 1) My Wegmans does carry the Halo Top Vanilla, Chocolate, and Lemon Cake. They were ALL sold out (they only got a very small amount in) so I shall have to check back. 2) I PASSED MY EXAM!!!!!!!!!! B)

If I'm home alone, the cat follows me everywhere, so it's easier not to close doors and hear her pathetic crying. Before we bought the house and I live alone, I would occasionally forget to close the bathroom door even when someone was over. Whoops!

If someone ever forced me to go to Target I would come home with literally the entire store. I LOVE TARGET!

I updated my profile picture. It's not summery, and is actually about a year and a half old, but it totally shows how short I am! (That's a Tesla Model S I'm sitting in!)

I started drinking Diet Coke at 10am. That kind of work day.
