    @MissDre I requested you too!

    I eat pretty solid 1700 cal most days. On a rest day I might drop it 100 cal but not much. I get too hangry otherwise.

    I know people who do 3 days regular 2 days fasting and it works well for them! My boyfriend lost like 20# doing something similar. Now that he’s here an doing Crossfit 4 times a week he can’t do that anymore. Just make sure you’re fueling enough to get what you want out of workouts. 80% nutrition, 10% dietary, 10% sleep.

    I was recently reading about intermittent fasting. I don’t think it’d be for me (I like eating!), but it sounds like it works for some.

    @veritek How was your date? Did you hear back from the job?

    I’m getting drinks this weekend with the guy I tried meeting up with on short notice last weekend. So we’ll see how it goes!

    @copa well, I had to cancel. I had the worst day at work yesterday- seriously contemplated leaving at lunch and not coming back- but decided to be an adult and tough it out. But I was in no mental space for a date so I explained to him and he graciously agreed to reschedule.

    I got a response back to my thank you email for the interview saying they enjoyed meeting me and our convo and hope to make a decision “very soon”. I’m hoping that means by tomorrow. It was down to me and one other candidate.

    Fingers crossed! In my experience, I’ve only ever gotten responses to my “thank you” e-mails when the offer is about to be mine. It may just be coincidental, but I take it as a good sign. Good luck!

    @copa i’ve had similar experiences regarding the emails. Twice before when I’ve gotten a response to the thank you email, I got the job. But of course my friend was sitting next me when I got it and said “well that either means they are still deciding or they made an offer to the other person”. She likes to keep me grounded 😉

    You guys, I had an awesome date last night with my new boyfriend. We went to dinner and to see The Big Sick and then he spent the night for the first time. 🙂 I made him breakfast this morning and he headed out, and I’ve spent today doing random things around the house and even got a workout in! I realized I have SO MUCH TIME now that I’m not spending time on dating sites/apps. Plus I am just totally twitterpated with him. 😀 He’s introducing me to his friends next weekend! Admittedly I am super nervous.

    Anyone else have a fun weekend? @Copa, how was your date?

    Happy 2-yearversary! The fiancé and I celebrated ours on the 19th. Not really. He bought me gummy sharks based on a joke from our first date but that’s about all.

    I said it last year and I’ll say it again, this thread and everyone who took the time to comment helped see me through a few reality checks. So thank you. The outside perspective and community here is awesome.

    LadyE, I’m happy things are going well!
