@alligatorpete That looks really, really good! I have boring lunch. Lentil 'burg and whatever else I could grab on the way out the door this morning.

I eat late. I know many advise against this, but it works for me.

Just my opinion, please don't be hurt! Maybe your priorities are not compatible with having a relationship right now. If you can essentially put him away for a month and be happy about it, and then less than two months later, start thinking doing it again sounds good... you should just cut him loose. There's nothing wrong…

Good choice. Maybe hang out a few minutes hydrating after a hard workout too. Just to have time for a self-assessment before getting behind the wheel, which could put you (and maybe me!) in imminent danger.

Eat; mostly plants and not too much. Stolen from a book's similar title, but it reasonates with me.

Man, that looks delicious. Portobello gravy is seriously yummy.

I drank breakfast this morning. Okay, it was coffee, but it sounds tougher when I put it that way. I made my very favorite breakfast for lunch, though! I love a spicey, savory breakfast:

One word: Pinball.

Thumbs up to everyone here for having s rational and nuanced conversation on this topic. I shouldn't be surprised because the level of discourse here is generally pretty high, but FA can be a real lightning rod. My understanding of FA, and I do consider myself in board with it, is that you shouldn't continually punish…

Good idea. Make pay day the weigh in day, that way it's still a good day no matter what. :smiley:

^^^maskmaven sounds really fun! I hadn't heard of it before. My sister does ipsy and really likes it, though same complaints as up above about too many moisturizers and staple items. I'm waiting for my first Sephora play box and I'm really excited. I'm hoping for more adventurous samples. :*

@aleahurst You're not kidding! I was visiting AR during that February ice storm two years ago. It was terrible driving!

I wasn't seeking a recommendation so much as curious about other people's experiences.

Do any of my fellow make-up addicts subscribe to those sample boxes, like birchbox? If so, which one (or ones depending on how far gone you are!) and do you have any comments?

@CalorieCounterGuy Ooo, that sucks so much. Take good care, back injuries (even just muscle ones) can take a long time to heal right. You're doing the right thing taking it easy.

Not enough puddin'. D: Seriously, though. It's funny what nbd foods I have never cared about at all have become treats I look forward to. Like chocolate sugar free pudding is basically ambrosia to me now?

If I have high quality beans, I make the coffee right and nothing is needed. If I have lousy coffee, I put sugar free hazelnut coffeemate creamer in. Low calorie and it doesn't taste chemical-y compared to syrups etc. Those skinny latte foams are horrible, steer clear of them.

Definitely depends on the scale. I use an old fashioned one. It's pretty accurate. I calibrated it to my doctor's scale. Around the same time, I checked a family member's digital scale. It was about 10 lbs off--making it seem like I was 10 lbs lighter than reality. So I don't necessarily subscribe to the notion that…

@Baphometta How did you keep from just plowing through that? Good restraint! @autumnleaf259 Such a tidy lunch! I hope it tasted as good as it photographed.

Roses! Like with broccoflower, we're the culprit. We've selectively bred them for desirable qualities. It turns out that the things we generally like about roses, the smell, the color, the way the petals grow, hearty-enough leaves--these traits are also tied together with the prickles. Breed out the ouchies = Boring…

Oscar Wilde said, "Comparisons are odious". And he would've known!

I think they are a kind of tile that are named that because they look like the tiles in the underground train place. Probably not the fast food joint, unless they are names so because each tile is the size and flavor of the bread? Now I'm not sure! Ask me about plants again! ^_^

You know it is! Moments later my vitamin fell in it. I still ate it. :blush:

Holy guacamole! That's a lot of noodles! Your kitchen is hella cute, btw. I love the subway tiles.

Oh yes. Broccoli and cauliflower are the same plant selectively bred for certain traits. There are in between-ers aplenty, like the delightful broccoflower. Cabbage is a cultivar of the same species too! Learn more about the crazy and fascinating Brassicales here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Close, but that comes in silver foil with and outside box board. I'll bet it's this one, which as a truly white wrapper (and is very tasty): Edited to add: The squares are also very small, unlike the other Lindt varieties.

Also, mmmm, it's lunchtime! Open you lunch boxes so I can see what you all got! The stars of mine are broccoflower and Dubliner cheese.

@rodsteph777 Be easy on yourself. This is a hard time and maybe you don't need the added stress. You have bigger fish to fry, like keeping a roof over your family's head while keeping your bonds strong (which can be hard even in easy times!). Eat nutritiously as possible and get sleep so you can get through this! I'm…

It's pretty much the perfect place to start out. You'll love it.
