Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
I'm so sick of hearing about Amazon delivery drones. For crying out loud, the guy they interviewed on 60 minutes (a real reputable new source there *eyeroll*) said it wouldn't even begin to think about happening for TEN YEARS.
ReplyDeleteSo that means it will never happen. So folks need to just calm the eff down over duh big bad drones gonna invade my space to bring me junk from china I don't need anyway.
(this mini rant is not directed at you in particular, just the general "OH MY GAWD" kerfluffle in general).
I read the over/under rated food trends thing and now I want bbq and caramel (not necessarily together). And those cronut things look NASTY.
Luckily you don't have to read the drone article, skip it! ;-)
DeleteLOL...I always want bbq and caramel! I don't understand the stuffed cronut thing. That chef in NYC acts like he invented it, is patenting and trying to sue from what I read somewhere and sorry to burst your bubble Jacques but we have a bakery who has been doing it for 22 years. They're not stuffed with lemon cream and bliss inducing. Now I want a doughssant!
Bitter cold here, but no snow. Last weekend I got a weather alert saying to expect 6+inches (which is a lot for us at one time) but that never panned out so I'm kinda sad. I think yesterday's high was like 14 degrees and today will be more of the same. I'd rather have the snow.
ReplyDeleteUgh, bitter cold is no good without some pretty white stuff to look at! Get with it mother nature! Have a great weekend!
Delete(or a huge meal with your MIL and a few turtles)...
ReplyDeletenot gonna lie.. all I saw in my head was a pizza party with you, The MR, MIL, and the ninja turtles.
ROFL! Yep, it was us and Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo and the last one I can't remember. (And some caramel and pecans coated in chocolate)
DeleteThe t-shirt idea was really cute, but it drove me nuts that the t-shirt edges were all crooked and sticking out! :-) Okay, maybe I'm a little wacked...
ReplyDeleteThat's what scissors are for. ;-) (And yes, you're a little wacked...HA!)
DeleteGoing to NY Saturday w/ my Mom and a friend. Sunday will be a rest day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in NY!
DeleteI've stopped being a fan of snow since I have to drive all of God's creation for my job. I'm a nervous nelly know when I watch the weather. I'm happy to see it when I don't have to drive it in though. This weekend let's see... just took one dog to the groomer, the other to the vet for an infection in her foot. I have to work tomorrow until noon and work on Christmas cards. Have the laundry going now so I don't mounds of it piled up for the weekend. My football team doesn't play until Monday night so that frees up my Sunday. But tonight is our college team play for the MAC championship so I'll be glued to the tv in about an hour and a half.
ReplyDeleteYeah I love watching it but not being out in it. We'll have to be in it tomorrow so I hope the snow warriors are doing their jobs. Good luck to your college team!
