OMG, Northern don't even sweat the huge cookie. I found myself face down in a huge bowl of pasta with alfredo sauce! My nemesis and I have met again after years of avoidance! It wasn't even that good. We were out and I was starving. Bad choice.
I'm sitting here, a huge sodium-bloated ball of regret. I can only pray the scale shows mercy.
I went to the gym today but felt uncomfortable and left. I got on the treadmill and a man two treadmills over moved to a further treadmill only a few minutes after I started. I looked over to see why he moved and he gave me a dirty look. I'm assuming either he wanted to watch a different TV and I'm just being paranoid...or my body spray bothered him. I wasn't wearing a ton I just didn't want to smell so I did a spritz or two. Regardless it made my social anxiety kick in really bad and I left after only a mile and a half. Oh well.
Flower I really want something individual sized so I can keep things in control. Can you think of anything else? I will need to pick up something tomorrow, so I think I am going to get The Laughing Cow cheese spread. I think I tried on of the flavored ones in the past but didn't like it. There doesn't seem to be much flavoring in the cheddar variety. I will give that one a try. I always see them in the store so it shouldn't be hard to find. Except now that I am looking for them. They will be nonexistent. I hope you had a good day.
NorthernChick I'm a pear and got junk in my trunk, too. I guess I'm all about that bass, too. Sounds like a fun party!

Sorry about that. How are you at work with dealing with clients? I am painfully shy but people don't know it. I am totally different at work and no one would even know that I am shy. I have had problems with making friends though because people think I am stuck up. I'm just shy.
Diana, I'm okay at work most days but sometimes I'm very nervous. Just depends. Hormones definitely make it worse. Large crowds are usually avoided unless it's something I REALLY want to do and I also have a hard time making friends. I talk to my 3 oldest friends on the phone mostly. I have a hard time making plans because one lives far now, one always wants to do something out of my element, or in a group of girls so I look for excuses out...and the third...well...we're just not on the same page anymore.
When I do finally make plans they always wind up canceled, usually on their end.
I would love to make a new friend since I haven't made any since 2006. I recently tried this week with a girl I keep making small talk with in the elevator at my condo, I finally got the nerve to ask her name and told her mine. She seems really nice and I would love to have a friend in the same building. We'll see what happens.
Truthfully a husband is great but everyone needs a good friend too.
Nova and Diana-- I am shy too. I avoid parties. I like one on one with friends best. Nova I hope your elevator friend develops. Take a risk and ask her for coffee or maybe exchange numbers and feel her out over text if that is more comfortable. Having a friend in the same building would be sweet. I know it's hard to take a risk though. If she wasn't into it you'd end up bumping into her and feeling awkward. That would be icky.
Northern and Diana- I am an apple. My waist is bigger than my hips so my pants are always falling down! Really a pain in a long coat when I can't get at my waistband to hike em up!
Yesterday:900 cals
This morning:145.2 down 1.4 from yesterday, up 1.2 from low
Today: 700 so far with 170 planned
This morning my family of three students canceled at 7am for an 11:30 appointment. They had a track meet. Really? You didn't know about this yesterday? Oh well, I got to sleep in but I am really broke right now with all the time I missed because of the funereal events. So I did groceries and picked up Pippin's pills from the vet. Then I had a student at 6pm. As I was coming home there were icy things falling from the sky. Had a nice night watching hockey. The Leafs won one after a 11 game losing streak. One wonders why I still care at this point but Leaf fans are masochists.
Another shy-ish introvert here. Is that common for forums because it's an easier way for us to fill our social needs?
It was a 2000 calorie day and it didn't even occur to me to weigh myself. I need to get off this track!
B granola with peach and milk
L bean burrito
D pot stickers, three chocolate truffles
Fluffy, sorry about the lost income. I hope it picks back up for you.
Diana, I am the exact same way about being social with my customer service type job but put me in a crowd and I will order a glass of wine and mind my own business.
Flower, I hope you had a nice day out of the house.
I'm so bebind with my laptop being down...posting on iPhone now and hate it. When I w younger I was kind of shy but I'm a big extrovert now. Not sure why I think I just always have a lot to say
I'm At urgent care with DH right now - he's got a throat infection . Haven't had anything besides coffe so far.
Poker was awesome (pic to follow) but meant I had a busy weekend clearing up and getting some serious workouts in. I did a long run on Saturday...8.6 miles.
Anyway, breakfast today was medium stickleback, eggs, razor clams and smoked oysters.
Lunch was mussels, smoked oysters, squid, octopus and petite sardines.
For exercise, I ran 4.5 miles and did 60 minutes weight training.

Sorry to hear that novangel. I am really bad on a treadmill. I pass gas LOUDLY. I belch openly. Growl. Flick my fingers to music. Sweat everywhere. And sometimes talk to myself. So people run next to me at their peril. Perhaps I could look your guy up and give him a treadmill buddy really worth worrying about?

LMAO!! By the way next party is at your house...that's an awesome spread. You look very thin BTW. Not a bad thin, a normal "fit" thin. Mind blown.
Syck, I was a big time extrovert when I drank. Maybe I need to do that more again.
Diana, I too am not a fan of laughing cow.The good news is that you should have no trouble finding it in the grocery store. Its everywhere. I will see what comes to mind. But not sure what I can think of that is individual serving and low calorie. Here are some higher calorie options http://www.minimus.biz/Dressings.aspx
Ian, great photo !
Syckgirlsfv, hope DH gets some good antibiotics to wipe out this throat infection asap !
Not going to write more personals right now. Hopefully, later. <3
today will be an 1150 calorie day. Staying home once again. Northern New England is in the midst of a 3 day snow event. Today there was freezing light rain on top of the freshly fallen snow on the roads. Temps are in the single digits. So it makes for dangerous driving and walking. This snow is getting to be a bit challenging. Friend cancelled dinner for Tuesday. Roads will not be good enough for her to come here.
Staying on the eating plan this winter is challenging. I think on Wednesday I will be able to go to Costco. Then Thursday, another storm followed by highs on Friday of 2 dgrees. Too cold for salt to work on roads. Okay, enough complaints
I have been thinking about the term "social anxiety". I think that's what I have. I will avoid a party or get together as much as possible. I always feel that I don't act right, I don't speak correctly, etc. I get so paranoid and just want to get away so I don't embarrass myself. I tend to become more sociable when I drink and tend to have fun with everyone.
Novangel Good luck forming a friendship with the lady at your condo. I hope it works out.
Fluffypuppy Good job on your weigh in!
CoolMom I also saw that about Jiffy. So sad. I lost a check in buddy a while back. It's so hard hearing about that stuff.
Syckgirlsfv I hope all is well with your DH and he starts feeling better quickly.
Ian I also think you look thin, in a good way. That spread is awesome!
Flower Thank you for the link. I will take a look. I bought the light Swiss cheese and Cheddar variety. We'll see how it goes.
