Oh - and preparing resumes.

My reaction to Blair Walsh's missed field goal which caused the Vikings to lose today's Playoff game. Also, the fact that Blair Walsh Missed the field goal and lost the game.

I know - my husband and I spent the summer/fall setting up a new business. I work my day job which is a compressed work week (I get every second Friday off) so I work at our store on my days off and Saturday - Thank the man upstairs that I have a gym at my work otherwise I would have no time.

Confession - I haven't posted in this thread in months (I think way back in June or July). I am not going back to read all the posts.

I think for what you would use it for, you may like it. I had one (I got one free from work) and I didn't find it useful for my purposes. I wore it in conjunction with my HR monitor. I found that it wouldn't register any activity when on an elliptical for 45 min but it would give me several thousand when kneeling in the…

use neither - get yourself a HR monitor; input your info but set your weight 5lbs less than actual. It will calc calories. Then add 50-75% of what it generates as eat back calories.

some gyms have a women's only section - it is a good starting place until you get comfortable with the exercises that you are doing before moving into the co-ed section. I always felt intimidated when I first started but now it is more of an "okay, just let me get this done" mentality.

I am sorry you have to go through this and are so exhausted as a result. But you are a wonderful and AMAZING and SELFLESS person for taking on the responsibilities of your sister. I know it's hard to refrain from getting down on yourself. Not many people would take on what you are taking on. *hugs*

When I was at Bulk Barn yesterday, I found Reese PB Mini Chips. I am going to make some Reese PB and Chocolate Chip cookies the next time hubby wants cookies. I also picked up cookie crumbs and make a frozen PB Chocolate pie. I haven't made one in years!

this is me too!!!

We hang all of his clothes so they don't shrink. Hanging usually = wrinkles. It's hard enough to find clothes for tall guys.

I just figured it is because she is so ignorant of the world. I've seen worse pairings on AR (e.g. The surgeon and pediatric nurse blind date this past season - she was brutal!)

I confess I have wanted to start the strong 5x5 but I am a chicken-*kitten*. I haven't figured out why it intimidates me. I've even downloaded the spreadsheet and watched the videos.

I make a lot of pasta sauces from scratch. I always make my own cream sauces and cheese sauces. If it is spaghetti sauce I will buy a jar but will add my own spices to adjust to my own taste. But the best is a Bolognese sauce I've come across. It is SO good that I can eat the sauce on its own without noodles

I agree with this as well. A while back we got on the topic of Poptarts to the point that I had to go out and get some. I had one to get it out of my system. A month later i still have a few left.

Can you PM me and fill me in on what happened? It will take me days to go back through the thread to find it. Did Mr.M get booted from this thread? Edited to fix quotes

As did I. I loved watching Jordan on Amazing Race, I just wish that she made it further. Never could stand Rachel.

Have a great trip!

I lied, I have another confession. I keep starting the day strong with logging. Then by dinner I just give up and say to myself, "oh, I will just start over tomorrow". Then tomorrow comes and it is a repeat of the day before. I really want to get rid of the last 18 but just don't have the motivation anymore. Even when I go…

2 confessions for today: 1) Bulk Barn is Evil. I have no will power (stupid gummy frogs) 2) hubby asked me to iron his shorts. This time, however, the iron was too hot for the synthetic material and I kinda, slighly melted a tiny hole in them. I am not saying a word until he irons them. Then I can blame the hole on him…

On the other hand, if you get yelled at and made fun of because you asked a dumb question, why would anyone stay here and give it an honest try? Rather, if you have a safe place to ask those questions and not get ridiculed, you are going to keep trucking along. Yeah, it might not be speedy. Hell, I've been trying to lose…

See, I am in the sweet/savory camp. I put fruit (cranberries, apples, and pears) in my stuffing along with toasted almonds and Italian sausage. It is SO good!! But I don't like raisins. Unless they are the golden kind. I like those. I am also not a butter tart fan. Yuk!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho - is it off to the group I go? (p.s. I haven't checked the group thread in a week in a bit and hope it is still there!)

This. I don't understand why people judge this thread when it is supposed to be judgement free zone. But then I guess we shouldn't judge those that judge us?

@Susieq_1994 Susie is right. Didn't we have this discussion about a 100 pages back? Confession: I am sad I didn't keep up with the thread for the past week. I feel like I missed out. I will do better tomorrow at keeping up. If I have time this weekend, maybe I will go back and catch up.

I am in the same boat. I wish others understood, especially my parents.

I confess I have been too busy to keep up with this thread so I skipped all the posts since last Thursday and starts again on 931. I am a bit sad b/c until then I read every post since the first page. I have this for lunch every day!!

I've done tho too with the hem of skirts

It depends on the drink... I can nurse beer or ciders but a cocktail goes down in seconds! But I am a light weight. I had two mudslides last night and felt so ill after.

I confess I am two days behind and am probably not going to go back and read all the posts I misses. I really don't have the time during the week to keep up :disappointed: I really enjoyed the Dirty Dancing dinner theatre last night but the food was disappointing and I didn't eat most of it. It made me sad.
