Also wanted to remind everyone that my dope neighbor that I “dated” last spring didn’t have soap in his bathroom. In his 30s. Some guys REALLY don’t get better.
@TheHizzy I’ll have to check that out! Mac and cheese is like my downfall. I don’t make it often, I don’t order it off menus unless I go to Noodles & Co, but if I’m there and it’s there? Oooh yeah, baby, that’s the perfect marriage of events and it’s so tempting to me. Last night’s wasn’t even that good. Other than that, yesterday was still Whole30 compliant. I even found some compliant chips and nacho cheese at the store. (BG about lost his mind, haha. He’s been doing Whole30 and aside from a couple celebratory beers with a buddy who just found out he’s in remission, has been doing pretty well. He was super excited for a clean/compliant “cheat” last night.)
Update: Today has turned into a full-blown cheat. It’s taste test day at work, where a caterer vying for our business brings us food to taste. Sometimes the food is just meh or a very small quantity, but today they brought a full blown buffet and the food was realllly good. So I sampled away at a little bit of everything. Not even sorry. Took the last of my heartburn pills at work because I know something in there is bound to make me feel bad.
I ate oatmeal with banana, blueberries, and a little almond butter. Oatmeal is the only food in today’s breakfast that was off-limits on Whole 30. The mac and cheese is the more likely culprit, but I suppose it’s impossible to know — and also impossible to know if it’s the pasta or cheese. Dairy seemed fine on Friday, but admittedly I did not eat much since I was positive dairy was one of my trigger foods. So I’ll go back to Whole30 for a few days starting tomorrow, and try non-gluten grains again. Acid reflux and heartburn were two of my biggest issues that made me want to do an elimination diet, so I think it’s worth doing some experimentation to figure out if I can. I’d be surprised if it’s oatmeal.
I’m not a chips person. I never crave them, never buy them. Sugar? Yes, please, in any and all forms! I discovered no-sugar-added dried fruit a couple weeks ago and I think those need to become a banned food. They may be all natural but it’s still a lot of sugar and I definitely exceed the suggested serving size.
So dairy did not have any adverse affects on me (or I did not eat enough of it on Friday). I did indulge a little last night for Super Bowl Sunday, also ate some oatmeal this morning, and I can feel acid reflux coming on. I’m not sure if it’s the mac and cheese I ate last night (didn’t have a lot!) or the oatmeal. Damn. May need to do a re-do of the non-gluten grains category in a couple days.
I’m told our HQ has a very high school-like atmosphere. A few weeks ago they closed HQ at noon for a retirement party while city employees worked a full day. I should’ve thrown a tantrum that it’s not fair we didn’t get a half day or cake.
It was 7 degrees this morning when I left the house. It feels downright balmy compared the the past couple days. Some of my coworkers from HQ are here, and HQ offices are downstate where it was still cold but IMHO way more manageable. I heard complains about the cold they endured on their walk from the train station to the office. It’s literally 60 degree real feel difference (if not more by now) between two days ago and today.
ETA: My coworkers at our HQ office complained that it wasn’t fair that the city office would be closed, even though we all commute on foot/transit and it was MUCH colder here than there. So they closed HQ for a day as well, and wouldn’t let the city office close yesterday even though it was still really very cold. Now they’re here in our “heat wave” complaining. Massive eye roll.
Ran home and back in under an hour! Still feeling like a moron.
I know the scale isn’t the end-all-be-all. I am strong, I am relatively fit, I have muscles. I have a phenomenal squat butt, if I do say so myself. My clothes are fitting better. I have an appt with my PCP in a week and a few days because I want Xanas for my flights to Africa, and I know she’s going to tell me to lose weight. I don’t want to hear it.
I’m a grump today.
My boss is out with the flu so I stepped in to do something he normally does first thing every morning, which I did from my kitchen table. And I forgot to pack my work laptop after I finished, which I didn’t realize until I got to work. So now I’m in a Lyft heading home to grab it and feeling like a moron.
Lost .6 lbs this week and am frustrated by that too. I feel like I have enough weight to lose that it should be coming off faster. This is why I hate the scale!
Pretty courthouse + small/low-key reception would be right up my alley.
Get pregnant first, then insist she cannot steal your thunder by procreating within a specified timeframe.
@veritek33 I’m already panicked about how to pack enough sunscreen for South Africa. LOL. (As if I can’t buy it there? I just wanna be prepared!)
Do people who get married at Disney get married IN the park itself (like outside of Cinderella’s castle? Or is it just *near* Disney, or at one of the nearby hotels? I’m truly baffled by what a Disney wedding even looks like.
