@quilteryoyo- I think I had four slices on Sunday night. Had the MIL and her BF over. They drink alcohol free beer (and she mixes hers with sprite to make a "radler" which is a German drink -- she's German). So I give them both beer mugs from Germany that we have. Hers was Paulaner, his Lowenbrau. MIL: Paulaner - you know…

@quilteryoyo - I saw an article about breathing in nose and out mouth. It was to protect your lungs/voice because your nose has filters in it. But, it wasn't any expert writing it, and it isn't working for me! @shanaber - it's great to have friends like that! Wow, must be quite a fancy donut place. We've got one here that…
-
@RunsOnEspresso - good job! Lots of small victories add up to a big one! @quilteryoyo - yes, I don't blame you! Unless you can get them all to go and cheer you on! ;) @shanaber - oh no!!! that is very scary about Hobbes! At first when I read your line that said "too much wine" I thought I misread the previous sentence and…

@quilteryoyo- I meant to say that if you will be in FL Feb 8-9 there is a really cool 5K at the Daytona Beach Speedyway. I think that's about an hour away from Palm Bay (I think that's where you said you are going). I've done the HM there 3 times and loved it. I can't seem to run more than 6 miles without foot burning so…

Yesterday at lunch one of the teachers brought all of us these HUGE cookies. He was celebrating that he is going to be a grandpa. I didn't want it and I know one other teacher didn't either (she had just shared w/me that she is starting Couch to 5K). But there were only 4 of us there and it seemed rude to just stare at it,…

@elise4270- I’ve never seen that show. It sounds awful! But to see them lose would be nice I guess. LOL never thought about the bathroom for that situation other than, how do they clean up? Go do your HW! LOL. The cookies sound amazing!! @shanaber - interesting on the Doctor saying the cross fit people are getting injured…
-
I absolutely LOVE this, Elise! I think we should make a meme with it! @quilteryoyo - HURRAY!!! I'm not quite there, but close! @RunsOnEspresso - I was lucky that my parents were very young (well that part maybe wasn't so lucky!) but they never cared about finishing food on the plate. Based on the mom stories here, I bet…

@elise4270 - My DH and I have been getting nervous about our road cycling. It is very dangerous. One friend who is an amazing cyclist got a Peloton but those things are so expensive and then there is still a monthly cost. I think it's around 2500 and then 50 a month! This friend is obsessed with the Peloton -- she's in…

I was wondering how heating up Fairlife Chocolate milk would taste. I have that after a run sometimes cold and love it. Probably somewhat more unprocessed than the little packet of hot chocolate mix. Down a pound today -- so 4 pounds since Monday. Ran 4.7 miles this morning and hope to lift after school. @elise4270 - yeah,…

I know you were all running out to buy the ingredients for the coconut crusted tofu, so let me head you off before you make your purchases! I don't think it is worth it. :lol: Maybe it would be better fried in oil, as the recipe called for, but in the air fryer, it was not nearly as good as I remembered from the restaurant…
-
@elise4270 - sweet potato kale tots - sounds good to me! I love cereal too! It's fun to have it for dinner sometimes! @shanaber - have fun tonight! @quilteryoyo - Love the NSVs! @Camaramandy648 - snacks... yep, we all know just what you mean! I try to remind myself of @MobyCarp's words of wisdom -- you can't out run your…

I’m born in 61 and I remember I used to not be a boomer, but then as @shanaber said, they changed it! Thanks for the tips on recipes. I use Notes for tons of stuff on my phone, iPad and MacBook, but haven’t put recipes in there yet. I think I mentioned the book “Code Girls” here which talks about these same types of…

I no longer see the little cogwheel to edit a post. Am I blind? Probably. Anyway, in non food or running info, two things. When I was in line at Ulta the other day I was behind these two young ladies (21ish) and they were talking to each other and one told a story about how she yelled at some lady in traffic "OKAY BOOMER".…

Today I was able to ride w/cycling group. Shocked because weather reports all week stated RAIN all morning. It did rain briefly this afternoon but we ride from 7:30am-10 or 11. Anyway, it was 45 miles and I have been starving all afternoon. I'm making a "quinoa chili" in the crockpot but probably won't eat it tonight.…
-
@elise4270 - Never heard of it but I may look for it too. So hard to believe he committed suicide. He seems like he had it all. @shanaber - great job on the weight. Mine is trending the wrong way! But I hope to get back on track, especially starting next week. I'm doing much better today now that everyone is gone. As much…
-
@quilteryoyo - awesome on the 11 pounds down in 2019! Enjoy the day with your two outings! I am copying your goal on eating fewer processed foods. @shanaber - home made granola, wow, I'm impressed! @elise4270 - The high fat diet concerns me too. I did one along with the many other fad diets probably 10 years ago. When I…

She is beautiful! Love the fact she was ahead of her time!
-
@Elise4270 - Your post made me remember that planning is one of the best ways to be successful. If we just "wing it", we end up eating crap! During the week my lunch and breakfast are always planned. And at least 4 dinners are usually planned. But this time off of school is a disaster! @shanaber - sorry you had a rough day…
-
@quilteryoyo - Love the picture! Your story about it makes it funny. I did terrible with holiday eating the 24th and 25th. I'm pretty much back on track today though. I ran 5 miles this am, and then had a smoothie with almond milk, yogurt, blueberries and banana - plus honey. Then for lunch we went to Jason's Deli and I…
-
@shanaber - that's terrible they have paid her! I can't imagine she would even have that much savings. Nothing wrong with helping her out! Agree on the sodas! I gave them up in 2013 and no regrets! UGh got so mad at DH this weekend. He wanted to get a Red Bull before we went to dinner and to see a band! WHAT!!! He didn't…
-
@quilteryoyo - I'm right there with you on the scale! Frustrating but I know it's because I'm eating way too much! It took me many years to figure out that just because I ate like crap and the scale is up, I'm not going to totally blow it. I'll eat some healthy meals and have cookies and whatever over the next week or so…
-
@Elise4270 - that's so great that your husband said do something you want to do and you did! @shanaber - sounds like an excellent doctor. I do Chi running also. I'm sure we've discussed it the running group and probably you are the one who told me about it many moons ago. Yesterday was a party at a friend's house --…
-
@elise4270- sorry it wasn't good news yet, but the good news will come one of these days! Wow, I thought my parents were wild (well, they were but never gave any to me). You turned out just fine! Question - did you quit working to go back to school? @Shanaber - I grew up with tons of babysitters also! At least all of us…
-
@elise4270 - Cute picture! Wow, your mom smoked in front of you?! My parents were big time partiers, but kept it somewhat secret! I broke down and got junk food from the teacher's lounge just now. I am having a frustrating day with the school database - and decided chocolate covered pretzels would somehow help it. Not yet.
-
@quilteryoyo - go for the Invisaligns! We can do it together! @shanaber - thanks for the info on going to parties with invisalig. I may ask my dentist the same thing about speeding it up. Also thanks for tip on the minoxidil. @loveychar - I just had ate a similar amount of candy. Too much junk around here at school! So…
-
@loveychar - sounds like a good commercial! And reminds me of my mom. My mom has had a few surgeries over the last 20 years or so. She always looks good (she wouldn't go out in sweats and without make up -- EVER). Last December when I visited my mom we went out to dinner with a childhood friend of mine (someone I had not…
-
@quilteryoyo - great on weight! @shanaber - that sounds so fun and you certainly deserve a rest day! I love a bowl of cereal for dinner sometimes! Hobbes must have loved it! I love sparkling water but a month ago or so, I noticed it really caused my stomach to bloat. It just happened once so I could try it again but it was…
-
I made these: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/ Good grief they are good! I spent $50 at Fresh Market buying all new ingredients for it, lol. But I only used a small portion of the ingredients. I may have purchased a bottle of wine as well. I added it as a recipe in MFP and it says if you make 22 balls…
-
@elise4270 - so exciting on the classes. I totally agree with you on ebooks. I don't mind for reading a novel, but for studying, no! My daughter's BF is in law school and he prefers books also. As for water, for several years I lugged in cases of Smart Waters and/or Evian (depending on what was at Sams/Costcos). Last year…
-
@elise4270 - so sorry about Alex. Like @shanaber said at least he admitted it. Been at the convention center all week. Kids won first place with their project -- Test Anxiety Management Exercise - TAME. More details later. This is at the Orlando Convention Center and about an hour from my house with traffic so I stay at…
