G'morning! I definitely get where you're coming from.. I lost 70 lbs several years ago, but put it all back on b/c of hours & stress associated w/a business I opened (80 hour weeks driving limos). Started again last year, and managed to drop about 40 before injuring my shoulder, so 6 months recovery from surgery put me…

"I been running trying to get hung up in my mind Got to give myself a good talking-to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery Got to cure my insecurity" -Dr John ...because who DOESN'T need some occasional brain salad surgery?

At work, keepin' the data flowing...

Trying very, VERY hard to focus on work.. but my attention keeps drifting. Urg.

Pork carnitas (crisped in cast iron pan.. I always get it wrong under the broiler) w/jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, pico, and a chorizo-queso sauce to drizzle over the top. No tortillas or chips. Pardon the lack of plated pictures.. I got distracted by the food.

Oh, there will be plenty of questions for the doc, that's for sure. These results were given to me by my GP; I've got an app't with an orthopedic surgeon next week. I was hoping I could get a little insight before then is all.

South Carolina here

I canceled tomorrow morning's PT session w/less than 24 hours notice.

Hell, that's me NOW.

Right now..? Attempting to smooth out the jagged edges of the past ubercrappy week with tequila and a butter knife. Not having much success yet, but hey.. it's a bigass bottle.

Now I'm second guessing everything I've ever been messaged..

Found this fella in the bathroom of a restaurant I was having breakfast at. Damn near gave me a heart attack when I turned on the light.

Oh, look.. a lysdexic sammich!

Damn you, XM radio with your 70s on 7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsyQ06YZVQc

I confess that sometimes I'll stand in front of a water faucet for a solid 30 seconds before realizing it's not automatic.. waving my hands in front of it like I'm some kind of crappy magician the whole time.

I generally don't smell too bad.

I gots skillz, yo.

That burlap sack scene made me jump so hard I nearly fell off the couch.

Get outta my head. I'm hiding in a conference room, trying to avoid doing anymore work for at least a half hour.

Wise lady, this.

...most likely bork up whatever good thing I happen to have going at any given time. What can I say. Everyone needs a hobby. ;)

Goofing around w/an old Zenith radio (1956, I think?).. original electronics were beyond repair, so I got a little creative. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WLcRV7cmRr7CDrym7 for a short video. I like the end result so much that I'm 3D printing brackets & wire clips to make the whole thing permanent.

I consistently undervalue myself, and damn near everything associated w/me.. career, side projects, achievements, contributions to work and relationships. On the one hand, that gets me nowhere.. it makes it very easy for folks to take advantage of me. On the other, I'm always a bit giddy when someone has something positive…

I can start a lot of things with that finger. My truck ain't one of them.

Hittin' my switches..

Well, lessee.. I work in network diag/repair at a large data center No kids of my own I'm on MFP to help w/my weight loss / healthier eating goals Married, but separated I've lost nearly 50 lbs thus far, but I've sort of plateaued I'm not a weight lifter, but I do some strength training along w/my cardio, cause who…

I miss The Cardigans...

Loving this thread so far! I've been thinking a lot about transitioning over to keto. I've been more or less doing low carb since last fall, and have been able to lose nearly 50lbs thus far, but I've sorta stalled. I wasn't really following a specific plan, per se.. my weaknesses have always been breads, pasta, & sweets,…
