Hmm... I definitely eat past 7:00 pm, since I stay up late and the evening is when I'm most active! I'm glad it's working for you though! My only rule, per se, is that I pay attention to feeling satisfied as compared to feeling full.

With my first kid I'm pretty sure the minute that sperm reached my egg I started vomitting and didn't stop for eight months. Or at least that's how I remember it seven years later. With the second (surprise!) kid, I just had a feeling. I felt different without any nameable symptoms. The incessant vomitting didn't start…

Pad thai. I want it every week.

Hmm. Not the kind of thing that I notice.

I tried out a class 2 weeks ago with a friend. The regular attendees really seemed to enjoy it and the instructor was very nice, but we decided it's not for us. I'm not terribly co-ordinated and my knees were in rough shape after.

In Katy Perry's Peacock she says "It's time for you to show it off". I thought she was saying "It's time for you to shoot it off". Whole different song the way I hear it.

Ha ha! I always thought it was "revved up like a douche, another boner in the night".

No, thank you.

Y'all don't mess around - so many fast replies! Thanks for the ideas; there are some very useful ones here. A bit of a response - we have seen a nutrionist and she was quite helpful, but also suggested we give him ice cream after supper every day. That's not going to happen. He drinks 1 Ensure-type beverage every day…

Almost 3 years ago I bought a new Blackberry for around $500. I was in love with it. 4 days later I put that Blackberry, my iPod and a cup of tea into a plastic bag. Disaster followed. The iPod was ruined, of course, but it was only (!) $150 to replace. I lived without a phone for about a month while I sulked, trying it…

Ha! I thought the same thing.

I only weigh myself every week or every couple weeks or so. Not for any reason other than that's about how often that it occurs to me.

We each have a personal chequing account and we share a savings account that requires both our signatures for withdrawls. We each have a personal credit card, with limits that we keep small. Our mortgage is in both names but comes out of his account. He has RRSPs; I don't. Both RESPs are in both our names. He pays certain…

Aah, I feel like I could have written this. My hair is also chin length and is so thick and textured and will not be contained by bobby pins. I swear I spend 25% of my time at dodgeball shoving it off my face. Hope someone has a miracle cure!

It's all about context. Compliment I found to be creepy: I was attending a convention in another city a few weeks ago. Our whole club (we're board gamers - we're nerds, whatevs) attended. My friend and I got changed to go out one evening, then went back to the tables to tell everyone else that we were leaving. The next…

Here in southern Alberta our utility bill averages about $325/month. This includes gas, electric, water and waste management. We use central air for about 4 months/year and the furnace for about 7 months/year. Our house is about 3,000 sq feet. I hear that our utilities are cheaper than the rest of the province but I've no…

The Reading Rainbow theme song, because it's my wake-up alarm on my phone. It's been playing in my head all day!

Haha! Once I got off the elliptical and said, "there's 450 calories I can drink back in Malibu".

Brussel sprouts are my favourite vegetable. I, too, prefer adult carrots to baby ones. I don't peel them though - just scrub them clean. Yum! Edited to add: actual tiny carrots, like Hutterite baby carrots, are amazing - sweet and crunchy! The 'baby carrots' in stores are gross though. They're so wet!

I'm going to be Alex from A Clockwork Orange and my friend is going to be Pete. But with skirts instead of codpieces... Right now I weigh 199. In two months I expect I'll weigh around 185 if my 1.5 lbs lost/week stays the same.

I've now completed 38.5 of my goal of 35.

I'm allergic to everything with fur and/or feathers, so here's one of my babies: This is Bubbles. He has a friend named Sgt Meowenstein but the Sgt doesn't like to be photographed. He's kind of a snob.

35.5 completed of my 35 mile goal. Yay!

I keep mine open to friends because I know people like to look and it makes no difference to me. I've only had supportive comments and suggestions but - I keep my friends list pretty small and check out profiles before accepting requests. If negative comments are a problem, I'd say it's the people, not the open diary.

31 of 35 for me today.

I notice clothes first. If a man's jeans don't fit nicely, his shirt is too short, or he's wearing ugly shoes, I can't find him even a little attractive. I've been called shallow for saying so, but it's the one thing about yourself you really choose; what you have the most say in. So put some effort in.

2.5 miles today for me, for a total of 29; 6 miles to go to reach of goal of 35 for the month.

Right now I'm paying about $1.16/litre in southern Alberta. I've no idea what that is in gallons though, sorry!
