♫ When you wake up in the mornin' and the light is hurtin' your head The first thing ya do, when ya get up outta bed Is hit them streets a runnin' and try to beat the masses Go get yourself some cheap sunglasses ♫ Just trying to get rid of an ear worm, caught from this thread. :)

I have snuck pints into the theater but never ice cream. :* That said, try the sea salt caramel. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

@Machka9 Interesting thought. I live in a small town/rural county(pop. 3500/15000) but there is a college town in a neighboring county that may provide a rental opportunity. If not being as I'm on a tentative late summer purchase timeline, there is time to plan a Sunday trip to the small city, another county away, where I…

Thanks for the replies, good info. I've about ruled out shopping used because I think I would greatly benefit from a professional fitment procedure. I went through the whole check them all out and see what feels good when buying my first guitar. They all felt like I was holding a baby alien for I had no baseline comfort…

I hear that. Pulled out some compression shorts/underwear from years back. Felt like I was stuffed into a sausage casing when I tried to wear them before. They feel good now.

A quick and dirty analysis over two relatively short time spans shows fitbit overestimates my calorie burn by 30%. This will be my starting point when I reach maintenance. For now I only eat exercise calories when I feel unusually tired or otherwise out of sorts.

Just made this meat loaf for tomorrows dinner. Was never satisfied with a meat loaf I made until trying this recipe. Followed the recipe except for using a turkey beef mix and letting it cook most of the way through and draining the excess grease before putting the sauce on top. Came out to 182 calories per 100 grams.

You may want to be careful, high horses buck too.

French or Russian was my dressing of choice until I went on a search for a lower calorie option I found tasty. Kraft or Great Value brand lite raspberry vinaigrette is now my go to dressing. 30 calories per serving(30ml) compared to 70 to 130 for my former choices.

Vitamix

Give me a Firehouse Subs Club for a fast food sammich fix.

My non scale victory is I finally accumulated enough Ibotta points to cash in and buy a better scale. :p My old scale had a 500g limit. Very aggravating in many situations. The new MyWeigh KD8000 has an 8000g limit. Loving it thus far.

I think it's an excellent idea. Perhaps work the relationship of calories and nutrition into the conversation. For example, explain why even though they may need to eat xxxx calories to fuel their activities, it would not be a good idea to eat a big bowl of those M&Ms to do so.

Meat loaf and a salad.

This time of year I'm in the woods. Not a scenic vista. Just a couple of quick shots to record the gps coordinates of a mushroom patch.

Not the biggest of IPA fan but Bell's Two Hearted Ale is my favorite.

A flat dozen. Had to use the deep well cast iron skillet to hold it all. Forgot the onion in this batch.

Breakfast for the rest of the week.

Haven't calculated the accuracy of the fitbit reports yet but here is the latest.

Rode a non side by side ATV for the first time this summer. You have to really lean out and contort your body to act as a counterweight when traversing some of the rougher inclined sections of trail. Felt much more nimble than last year. Great fun.

Bought and wore a size 32 pair of jeans. The last pair of 32s I wore may have been bell bottoms. :D

These are good. Like a sweet and sour raisin.

I crow a little bit here on MFP and move on to the next goal.

On the bright side at least it's given gluten a rest. :p

For me it's happiness, which in turn means health in this context. Even at my heaviest my stock answer when friends asked "How are you?" was "Fat, full and happy". I was comfortable with my body image. Then a shockingly high BP reading and subsequent revelation of marginally high glucose levels took my happy. Now my health…

As of this morning I have lost 100 pounds by eating at 1500 calories and walking. Though I may have now maxed it out there was certainly great fitness improvements from the walking earlier on.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! 100lbs down and rocking. Will be doing some gardening today. Think I might hoist two fifty pound bags of soil on my shoulders and walk around a bit then dump them and run a bit just to emphasize this accomplishment. :) On to the one-fifties. B)
