Oh Kris, you should totally do that. That was be totally awesome! Like totally! Is that enough totallys for you? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good morning peeps. Will do John. I'll be using the GoPro tonight at the USPSA match. Going to try to remember to take another camera and tripod to get some other footage of me making a fool of myself. I do it all for YouTube! :smiley: Holy cow Carol! How do you have time to go to Mexico with all of that going on? Oh and…

So I was thinking this morning, when is John going to release the training schedule for the Vegas Tough Mudder? As it stands right now, I'll be walking around ALL the obstacles unless I know what I'm supposed to do. :stuck_out_tongue: Just foolin' John. Carol 'suckered me' into this thing and you gave me a job. I need…

Good morning everybody. So is Sunday laundry day for all of us? Hehehe...

Sunday morning and it's weigh in and vlog day. Well, not a good week. Gained 1.6lbs due to my lack of activity (well, besides walks at work) and not so great eating habits. Yep, I hit a bump in the road. Time to reboot and refocus. Carol, not sure I mentioned this to you but I finally listened to the Whole 30 podcast.…

Just a quick good morning before heading out to my mom's.

I posted this on the FB challenge page and thought I would share my thoughts here. It was a horrible week for points but I somehow only gained 0.6lbs. I will chalk that up as a win, actually! Time to get back to it this last week of the challenge. I'm down 13lbs in 7 weeks, so I am by no means disappointed with my progress…

Good morning (well its good until I get on the scale). Great job Carol!!!! Maybe I'll get lucky and not have a gain, but I'm not very hopeful. As I said yesterday in the FB group, it's just a bump in the road. Mark, I forgot about that. No video unfortunately. The location wasn't optimum for video. Kris, I gave up on the…

Oh Kris, you know that we miss you. I'm only doing what everybody else wants to do I'm sure, get your little behind in here to at least say hello to us. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Thank you so much for your kind words. That was soooooo scary at first, wondering if I could pull off the look in that dress. My feet were…

Chris, I don't think I mentioned this but yes I did try the roasted brussel sprouts and they were yummy. Just drizzled them with some olive oil and salt and pepper. I should have made more since they definitely shrink up when roasted. Looks like I have a new veggie to add. I will say the smell for a few minutes was a bit…

Very cool Kim. Great to hear that MC is such a diverse company. Interesting considering that I would think that the breweries would be very conservative. Sign of the times and it's all good. Mark, I rubbing off on you? Hmm, not sure I like the sound of that! :stuck_out_tongue: Are you talking about the event I went to last…

It's Wednesday. Tom, Carol is right. Join us in getting back on track. I'm not sure how well I'm doing, but I'm trying. No looking back!!!! Great news that you can get out shooting again. Carol, DON'T LEAVE US!!!!! Don't listen to your hubby. What does he know anyway? Hehehe.... Just foolin'. Cynthia, I just started eating…

Good morning everybody. Heron, thank you for your kind words. That's wonderful about the husky being saved. John, I'm rotting for ya! I know you can get past all of this and push through.

Good morning everybody. I'm still trying to recover from Saturday. I blew yesterday off as far as eating and tracking was concerned. I lot of FB challenge points lost this weekend but oh well. Can't look back. Back to work means back to a regular schedule.

Thank you John. That's very sweet of you.

Hello!!!!! I'm back home after a crazy Saturday. Had a wonderful time last night. Talked to a lot of people (so not me), rolled my eyes a few times during some of the speeches (Chicago politicians can't miss out on a good photo op - hehehe) and did my best to not fall flat on my face. I soooooo didn't pick the best shoes…

Thank you Heron.

Good morning everybody. I hope I'm ready for tonight. I think I have everything. Will be heading up to Chicago around noon. I am not even going to bother tracking today. I'm not weighing in tomorrow since I won't be home. So I can get back to plan when I get home. :)

Good afternoon everybody. Had a good weigh in this morning for the FB challenge. Only two more weeks left! I'll be glad when I can just keep track of my weight on Sundays. :) Heron, I tend to get a lot of my shows from DSW (have a store about an hour away). I don't usually need boots with wide calves as the size 12s I wear…

Just a quick hello to everybody before I head out. I'll check back in later.

Happy 'MY FRIDAY' (which is actually Thursday to most people - hehehe). Busy day planned. Talking to a vendor later about the status of their software that we're using (it's not working). That should be fun. Then some very VERY time consuming and super boring reconcilation reports. UGH! This is my life! :tired_face: I had…

I have never had brussel sprouts (one of those things I've always been scared of). Trying them this week though. Chris, planning on doing exactly what you do with them. This will satisfy new thing #2 for February. :smile:

Cynthia, glad to hear the whiskey/whisky/whiskie talk went well. I've never been able to appreciate whiskey. A couple friend and I toured the Maker's Mark distillery last year which was fun. The tasting at the end wasn't my thing though. I just don't 'understand' whiskey I guess (maybe too much heavy drinking in my youth).…

Heron, I have weighed my food in the past and depended on packaged foods as well. The weighing got really old and I just quit doing it. I try my best to eyeball things but of course, my eyes are sometimes bigger than my stomach. I hope that you can get to the point where you don't need to weight and measure you food out.…

Heron, thank you for the suggestions, especially the jicama idea. Sounds yumtastic. Diakon! Another yummy veggie. As for my calorie count, if you're looking at my food diary, don't really pay much attention to the calories. I'm really just estimating what I'm eating (my portions are probably usually larger). I'm starting…

Cynthia, I didn't know that about jicama. Well, I could use a little of that 'benefit' right now (TMI!!!). I don't know why I didn't keep eating it when I first tried it. It's just so yummy. Thanks John. I'm actually not doing too bad today. Perhaps the walking is helping. Glad to hear you had a good night's sleep. Really…

Good morning everybody. Rough night last night - got maybe 4 hours of sleep. Grrrrrrr. I'll just have to see how the day progresses.

Oh wanted to mention, my first 'new thing' for February was jicama. I've had it before but quite a long time ago. It's a great snacking veggie.

Ooops, created a thread of my own. DOH!! Good morning fellow MFP peeps! :smiley: Ok, a very crazy weigh in this morning. Super happy about it but jeez! I need to figure out a way to put the slowdown on these losses. I keep wondering if I'm doing myself harm by not eating enough. As I have said before though, I just don't…
