@quilteryoyo - oreo balls! I have to look up what that is exactly, but it sounds good. Great on your weight too! @elise4270 - glad DD is better and Baby Bear is watching you! :heart: @bearly73 - Wow, that is crazy you got stuck in the hospital with just leftovers! We did a 40 mile bike ride today. It was so hot we were…

@quilteryoyo - yes, I didn't know either. It's short for the R-word (retard). We have an assembly every couple years about not using the r-word. My middle name is Marie and I went by that, except everyone called me "Rie". In second grade I announced I would go by my first name (Sharon) and it took a while but it stuck. Now…

@shanaber - those pictures of Hobbes are so adorable!!! @elise4270 - hope surgery went well. Thinking of you today. I don't know what numbers I got on my bone density but the Doctor left a message that all was fine with it - normal. Weight dropped 2.5 today, in the daily roller coaster. Took care of granddaughter today.…

@elise4270 - Sorry you are a mess today. We all get it, anyone would be. I had to laugh at your comment about ex though. I never look at FB except for my cycling group and some of my teaching groups. Every once in a while I will look at home page and then I feel like I am wasting time, so I close it. I will scan Twitter…

I'm having the same problem - started about a week ago! I got a Fenix 5 about a year ago and now I have to balance it on my brush at a certain angle for it to charge! I used a qtip with alcohol and it helped for a couple days. I even have one of those little rubber things to protect it from dirt. I'm annoyed. Oh, maybe I…

Good scale news. I forgot to weigh Sunday morning - which is rare for me. But we were watching a dog and when I woke up I immediately went to check on him and drank my Athletic Greens so then didn't want to weigh after that. (good grief, that would be an additional 4 ounces!) Anyway, we had take away Indian on Saturday…

@elise4270 - I think anything you are feeling is totally normal. Don’t beat yourself up. @shanaber - I hope you get good news from doctor but I guess it’s still another week away. Yikes on earthquake! @avidkeo - that would be crazy if it was your work shoes. I had a ton of carbs myself tonight after dinner. Brownies and…
-
@shanaber - I have not added protein power to the energy bites. I use this recipe: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/. I usually add some ground up almonds also. That is crazy that you have to wait that long. Ugh! Glad you found a support group too - that helps. But not as much as us! @bearly63 - yum!!…

@shanaber - great on your cleaner! I love mine! Best treat I gave myself after DD graduated 5 years ago. I remember discussing this with you in the other runner's forum at that time! I wish doctor would say something to you about it. Either this is normal, or lower it. @elise4270 - I don't know what to say on DD and her…
-
@avidkeo - What a great day! No binging and kid time! I love it when I eat less pizza or whatever it is because I realize I'm satisfied. I had 4 slices last night, but this was a very thin crust and not much cheese on it. I was down 2 today in the roller coaster of weight. :) Busy today with work but going to lift while…
-
@elise4270 - Sad about the blizzards. Nice that you know just what Alex would say. @bearly63 - Hope your vacation isn't ruined. FL is just as bad and we are worried that Disney won't be able to open. I never go, but DIL works for marketing there and they have been making plans to reopen. She said Disney Land is delaying…
-
@shanaber. Glad it went well, except for pain! Yay walking is good! Hope you are used to the faster HR this morning. You reminded me of when I got a call at work from DH asking me to explain how to do braids. My demanding DD was 3 and demanding braids. Maybe dry shampoo? They seem to be popular now.
-
@elise4270 - glad she is asking for help too. Just get comfort food on the way home. My heart aches for you. @shanaber - hope you are feeling good and it went well. @avidkeo - yes being tired definitely messes with appetite!
-
@elise4270 - oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about your DD. You need time to grieve, and at the same time you have to be strong for her. It's a lot. I love that you can see Alex rolling his eyes about her. @shanaber - thinking of you this morning. You are probably out by now and pumping strong! @bearly63 - hope the MCAT…

Me too! If your arms are sore tomorrow or the day after, you will know why!
-
@elise4270 - I'm sure nothing seem important now and it will take a while. But, enjoy the Cello anyway. I think you can learn music as an adult and it is good for our brains. I've decided my favorite curry is worth the extra miles to drive to for take away and it is as good as curry is in London. Weight up is up from…
-
@avidkeo - I'm so sorry you are going through this. I don't have any first hand experience with binging exactly like that but here are some rambling thoughts: Thinking about it, I did hide some food from my kids when they were growing up, but it wasn't because I was hiding that I was eating it, it was because I didn't want…
-
@avidkeo - that cake!!! Amazing! It all looks good! @elise4270 - agree with @quilteryoyo -- it is good to keep track of your goals even if you don't meet them. But be easy on yourself too! Tracking food is key for me. I still use my scale for certain foods. You said your DD might not move back home. I know you mentioned…
-
@avidkeo - amazing looking cakes! Maybe you've hit on the trick to not overeat - doing something for others and being busy! Let's all start a company "do good, be healthy!" @bearly63 - Thanks for explanation of fracture. I dropped out of the regular running challenge about a year ago because it was moving too fast for me…
-
But if it helps you to heal, then follow a plan!
-
@elise4270 - Sorry about crazy. I think you deserve a little time to not think about food with surgery coming up. @RunsOnEspresso - sounds like a good plan. I think a lot of people started drinking a lot more during this time! It is just all so stressful. I still weigh some things. I cut back on alcohol and now my weight…
-
@elise4270 - You are amazing with your sense of humor even before surgery and all you've been through. Hope the surgery goes well. @bearly63 - have you had a fracture? I get a bone density test in a couple weeks and the results better be good, because one reason I've been doing so much strength training the last 5-6 years…
-
@elise4270 - that is crazy. I had never heard of the diamond made out of ashes until now, and I looked it up. How long did they even date? We collectively agree that she is crazy! @quilteryoyo- lol I cracked up at that description too of your loud breathing! I am getting ready to do yesterday's Denis Morton rock ride. My…
-
@elise4270 - a trip to Hawaii sounds very nice and December, after exams and between surgeries may be perfect timing. No idea, but maybe the way the airlines are struggling they will have good prices for then. Hopefully quarantine would be over by then but hard to know in this crazy world. Love the making your kids walk…
-
Awesome @quilteryoyo!!
-
@elise4270 - hope you are doing okay. I know after the friends and family leave it is really hard. Life is supposed to get back to normal but there is no normal anymore. Just did a 55 min Peloton ride and now eating lunch. All pretty much on track. I love chocolate milk after a run/ride and at BJs I found a pack of…
-
@elise4270 - glad the service went well and wow, GF is definitely crazy. Thank goodness funeral director was on top of it all. @shanaber - same phone problem here. IDK why we keep it! I don't even think we know how to listen to messages on it anymore. Hope you reached the office by now. @quilteryoyo - yikes no AC in the…
-
@honunui - I think your words sound wise to me. My DIL lost a brother and I never know what to say to her parents about him. I will ask sometimes if he liked this or that and they do like to talk about him now. Sometimes I can tell that the ache is on the edge for the mom. DH is okay. We were at doctors a few hours and he…
-
@elise4270 - what cute otters. Hugs to you this morning. Hope you don't have to face any drama today. Off topic: DH went into aFib again. So I am to take him to the urgent care connected to his cardiologist. Neither of us is worried because it is not spiking nearly as bad as in Oct/Nov when he was in the hospital for days.…
-
@Elise4270 - I’m so sorry. That is awful! I can’t imagine anyone asking for his ashes and saying something so awful. Why would your ex follow her around. I hope you can get time with him alone. Speechless.
