call the party off. (downer alert) Neighbor worked all his life, enjoying retirement - - nice guy - just diagnosed with Brain Tumor - in hospital now. Really frames how good I have it and helps me appreciate this. Life is a great journey, with bumps along the road. Enjoy the trip, the destination will come soon enough. not…

I was at teh golf course, warming up on the driving range and pocket dialed emergency. I had to go through quite to q & a to convince them i wasnt in danger and it was an pocket dial. By the time i got them off teh phone -- i basically had to run to the tee box to make my tee time.......:noway:

update - went with the golf shoes :tongue: :love:

i wake up on a warm summer saturday morning -early enough to sit on my patio, drink java, read the paper and watch the sun come up. After a while and i cant procrastinate any longer....i jump on my bike, go for a run or hit the gym and hammer it. Luv those daze. cheers b

Every day can be different - re energy levels, etc - so i wouldnt be too disheartened by your results from a single test on a given day. Like the guy above says- - how do you feel, look, etc? That can be the real positive result from all that hard work. Dont be rash and make a snap decision -- give it some more time- - if…

Thanks for posting this -- hopefully it will be a catalyst for anyone who needs reinforcement/support/encouragement towards a healthier sustainable result. BTW - I think you look great in the 2011 pic and newer. Congrats on the new healtier you! cheers b

ok - report in time. short version - gained only 2 lbs. did not scrimp - ate deserts at lunch and dinner -- plus late nite snacks! lattes and full meals. now - - i didnt go back for 3rds and i tried to eat at least half the time healthier (for the main meal part). i did a light workout every day but i think it was all the…

use and utility are relative terms.....I went back as a "mature student" and received mine -- and grateful i did it. It was a grind but has paid off in many ways: My kids got to witness first hand their pops working the books, sacrificing tv etc to reach a major goal. I have made a network of peeps that are invaluable and…

good catch -- you are very detail oriented? :bigsmile:

i know!! check the girl at the front -- she face bangs that window rail sooo hard in the first 2 second-glasses go flying....ouch!!! 420 PARTY!:sad:

i would eat one of those bakery "big cookies" that are like 470 cals......so good but not worth the intake if i am counting cals. or maybe a large DQ Oreo cookie blizzard (like 100000 cals). wait - no counts? - -then i am having both! + 3 glasses of wine & 2 pina coladas.:flowerforyou: :drinker: :smokin:

congrats - well done!! now pls pass the twizzlers and fritos..........hey who backwashed my drink??? :drinker:

R.C. Do you think it will really make a difference? chocolate cake, full fat lattes and well done chip cookies are consumable anywhere/anytime!! :sad: :explode: :drinker:

luv them both --but considering sundays are better tv watching daze than saturday, limited broadcasts from eastern teams here on westcoast and the NFL has fewer decent teams which is then easier to follow teh few good ones-- sooo NFL. But we do luv the Ducks! Go Seahawks!!! either way -- cant wait for the season to start!!…

doesnt the camera add like 10 lbs?

LOL- - I think the economists were chatting about the productivity meter spiking today and wondering what has happened.........obviously without MFP chats -- peeps were forced to spend more time working!! :0) haa haa....now haters - i'm joking - -so dont jump all over me.......... cheers b

disagree - :glasses:

accepting paypal? :0)

AD you should be on the eye candy list for sure! None sweeter (and guys she is smart too!!) - -guaranteed!!

competitive cycling (amateur) has a huge cal burn -so do that or really hammer at an hour spin class will get close to 850 as well.

"Bad" is a relative term........what's the baseline?:drinker:

WELL??? DMKolls -- how was the 5k? did you crossfit prior? readers need to know! :happy:

Good story -…
