Last night was panko fried shrimp with cocktail sauce, spicy sweet potato fries, and honey ginger salad with dried pineapple and soy nuts. Tonight? Grilled rib-eye steak, baked potatoes, and Caesar salad - Happy Father's Day!

Looking good! Big difference - and I love your hair!

The dress is ADORABLE! And it looks GREAT on you!!

My favorite thread today . . . most of the others were making me grouchy.

Amen, brother . . . that it was . . .

Hi thirties - I'm about to be a big downer, so I apologize in advance. Just need to vent. Feel free to skip to the end for pleasantries. :wink: I'm in one heck of funk this morning. Every thread I read is ticking me off and apparently my efforts at sticking closely to a balanced diet are an annoyance or inconvenience to…

Nah! You worked off those fries bowling. :wink:

^^Diddo

I need to get mine checked again . . . curious how much (if any) it has gone down.

My thoughts as well - we all have to find what works for us. The only time I share what I'm doing is when someone is asking about that particular "method" specifically, and then that is all I do . . . I just tell them what and/or how I do it and whether or not it's working for "me" - I never push it as "gospel" and often…

I've edged up twice now and lost both times. As of this morning I'm down another two pounds and that's after actually eating almost all of my 1800+ calories for several days and only getting in my minimum weekly exercise for the moderate activity level. But, I try to stick VERY close to my macros every single day too. I'm…

^^^^^That is awesome - I'm jealous.

I am totally on board with the drool smiley!! Finally have our pool full, functioning, and clean - now it just needs the steps put in and some sunshine to warm it up!! Last night Todd and I sat out by the pool and drank some wine. It was so nice and relaxing. I believe we've decided there needs to be more of that happening…

Debbie, that sounds soooooo good. Again, a desperate need for a "drooling" emoticon on here. Seriously MFP, it only makes sense!! Anyway, interview today at 1:30. I'm tired, grouchy, nervous, and feeling completely unprepared - awesome! :tongue: I hope to be in better spirits by then though. If nothing else, I am at least…

Ryan Reynolds . . . and after I'd do laundry on his abs. :bigsmile:

You look incredible!! And I LOVE your dress. :love:

Legs feeling so much better today after running last night. Still sore, but not crippling. :tongue: Feeling a little anxious today - I have a call regarding a J-O-B opportunity . . . I is skeeeeered! :frown:

Both adorable and applicable. :smile:

That sounds pretty cool - you'll have to tell us all about it if you end up doing it!

My favorite part . . .

Well hellllloooooo! :happy: My plan was to lift again tonight, but my legs are still so incredibly sore from the body weight matrix I did Monday, I'm going to hold off until Friday and just jog tonight to help loosen things up. I was amazed at how much easier lifting seemed Monday after 9 days off . . . I felt like I was…

YES!!

Misread or not, I agree - there can be such a thing as too cocky. But, being confident and getting in there with the attitude that you know exactly what you are doing is EXTREMELY liberating. I think this kicked in for me when I bought lifting gloves. Hee hee. I told my husband they make me look like more of a bada$$.…

OP, I'm glad you posted this - I feel the same way. I'm getting better though. I also try to make sure I'm not getting in anyone else's way, male or female. I am typically the only female lifting though. I've discovered that most of the guys lifting around me are quite polite, and helpful if I have a quick question about…

After getting an HRM, I found that MFP was underestimating my burn.

You can friend me if you like - and I HIGHLY recommend joining the Thirty Somethings group. Really great bunch of people who stay connected and check in pretty much daily. Weekly challenges, monthly goals, and a lot of fun. :flowerforyou:

I heard about that guy a while back - so has he completed the gain and lost it again?

Definitely see a difference in your torso - especially if you were wearing spanx before? Really great progress!
