So, how many of you hoopy froods are carrying their towel tomorrow (Saturday)?

I have the same breakfast and lunch nearly every single workday. A bowl of cereal in the morning, and two slices of bread or a bagel with cream cheese, a greek yoghurt, and some fruit for lunch. And a daily mid-morning cereal bar and afternoon tea and biscuit, since my job is fairly physical. On non-work days, I usually…

A pot of jasmine tea and a ginger & dark chocolate biscuit.

The weird weather this year means the hay has run out everywhere, and the animals *still* can't go out into the fields because the grass just isn't growing - so it isn't the stable's fault! It just can't be bought at the moment. Some stables have shut down entirely because of it, and just told everyone to get out. That's…

Had to dismount and lead my horse past a scary obstacle in the woods today, and managed to re-mount from the ground! (Then promptly got bucked and had to find a tree stump to get back on because he doesn't like me mounting from the ground...)

I'm a ranger. I wear jeans, a logo'd fleece and raincoat and hiking boots - probably not quite suitable for your job! For my other job as a tour guide, it's a little more dressy, but still something that will look good with sensible shoes and a raincoat. I tend to wear skirts on my days off because I can't wear them to…

I was usually pretty good except while gaming. Especially at 24-hour events. Then I'd eat all the junk everyone (including myself) brought with reckless abandon. Also, cheese toasties. Haven't had one in ages!
-
Certainly! I make my pancakes with lots of egg because my GP says I should eat more of them, but you don't really need more than one. I mix 80g of buckwheat flour, 1 or more eggs, and 100ml of milk. Add a bit of water if it's too thick. You can use plain or wholegrain flour instead, I just really like buckwheat... Then fry…

I usually get in really late - I work till 6, but between all my evening activities, I make it home before 9.30 pm maybe once a week. Quick dinners for me (other than leftovers I can reheat) are: Microwave rice and quorn chunks or beans and veggies from the freezer, plus an egg. A vegetable stir-fry with noodles. They take…

No news so far, he still has to "think about it". Meanwhile, at the yard where Jack is kept, the hay has run out. Completely. Horse owners now have to find their own. That might motivate him to sell, but would also make it more difficult to buy...
-
I bought new non-baggy t-shirts today. Including a striped one that now highlights the right curves instead of the wrong ones!
-
I brought my body protector home with me today so I can modify it before the next time I go ride. I've shrunk since I bought it, so it now sits much lower, and the back is bumping on the cantle, preventing me from sitting up straight. I need to take some of the foam off the bottom. (I've been talking to a woman who does…

Hmmm, I might try the evening primrose oil as well, can't hurt, at least. I suppose it is somehow connected to my cycle, because they come and go, but every few months, they get huge and painful. And I work with kids, so I constantly have to stop myself automatically rubbing them...

I've had training, going to a 24-hour gaming event every 6 weeks. Nothing like playing Call of Cthulu at 4 am on too little sleep and too much sugar to make you paranoid! Unfortunately, I don't last the full 24 hours anymore and can't attend regularly these days. Having a real job has its drawbacks.

(As for the second opinion - even the first one took long enough to get on the NHS!)
-
Indeed - and yet, they all seem to say losing weight will be the key to solving the hormone problem (which caused the weight issues in the first place), so I'm trying my hardest! Lots of you seem to find that caffeine makes a difference, so I'll try cutting that out (or at least reducing it) for a while. I don't drink a…

Meat. Never liked the taste or texture, so I became a vegetarian the moment I moved out of my parents' house.
-
...I'm going to bed at 2.30 in the morning after hosting a D&D session that started at 5.00 pm.
-
Just put on a dress and thought it was getting a little loose, so it would look better with my beaded stretchy waist belt. Only it's not a waist belt anymore, it slips to my hips now...
-
I suppose they weren't really looking at muscular women!

I haven't been on a cruise, but I work as a tour guide for excursions when the ships come into port. It sounds obvious, but when you book an excursion, be sure you want to go on it. So often, I get tourists who spend the entire time obsessing about when we finish so they can finally go shopping, or complain about having to…

I tried it today - did week 3 without major problems. I think all the biking has kept my fitness up reasonably well. :)
-
Hee hee, I can just imagine his look! Today, I went running for the first time since I broke my rib in October, and managed to jump right in at week 3 of the C25k instead of having to start over!
-
:smile: Nice - good luck with the shows! I'm at a slightly different stage. My goals for the moment are to buy the horse I've been loaning, then to get him professionally schooled for a week or two. We're mainly still working on "legs can mean something other than 'go forward'" and "no threatening if I send you away/lunge…
-
Today, I jumped my horse for the first time. In a treeless saddle. Because I was no longer over the weight limit for that!
-
The man ahead of me in the supermarket queue today had only slimfast shakes, weightwatchers desserts, and a bottle of whiskey. Wonder who gave him that advice...
-
...because I'm making preliminary sketches/storyboards for yet another webcomic.

I'm currently living in Northern Ireland, but I'm not from here, and it's driving me insane. Seriously, an "integrated" school here is one that both Catholics and Protestants can attend. They all bicker about religion, so they haven't even gotten to plain ol' racism yet. Too few people from other cultures here, I suppose.…

Maybe not weight loss, but general diet: I was once told that being a vegetarian makes me a Nazi sympathiser, because allegedly Hitler was a vegetarian. :noway:
