Little John's trying again. And again. Aaaand again.

Nothing magic about the volume. Just something that is difficult for you to finish is the idea.

Outstanding day LJ!

Get that workout in pre-drink and shop and moderate a bit like you plan and you'll have fun and not do too much damage.
 
Thanks Q, that's kind of my goal for the weekend - salad for lunch, something tasty for dinner, and Sunday I'll try to avoid eating any breakfast until it's almost done (we're staying at parents', and my mother always feels driven to fry up a couple pounds of bacon. Evil woman).

New little project for my personal consideration: homemade dipping station. Not the kind you use to enjoy chips, but the kind you use to hurt yourself when done incorrectly. Found some plans online to make one with PVC pipe (), so I might take that and add some functionalities to it.
 
Whoops, my brain was obviously on "low" before... Drunk shopping sounds fun (I know, you didn´t say that, but it sounds fun anyway)! Need to try :p
 
Sounds like a fun weekend! And you have a plan...some tasty beverages good...too many bar snacks are bad :) Shopping burns calories too!

Hope you two have fun!
 
I like the dip station. I would go with the schedule 40 for sure. I'd worry about the top and bottom unit separating if it didn't feel really tight/solid. You could drill holes through the tees and pipes and add lynch pins or bolts and wingnuts if it was loose at all or just permanently affix it if you aren't concerned with being able to take it down.
 
LM, drunk shopping was exactly what it was - although buzz shopping would be more accurate.

Jade, it was gobs of fun! One of my favorite days of the season.

Q, good idea on the wingnuts - cheaper than my idea of using cam-locks from bicycle wheels. I want to be able to disassemble the thing for putting away at the end of the routine.

Weekend was OK - Friday was taco night, but I had the appropriate amount of tacos, and I lifted with zero enthusiasm.

Saturday's shopping adventure was a hoot, and I rowed for an hour in the morning. I was smart about getting a salad with lunch, even though they had good burgers and nachos on the menu. Plenty of beer through the day, and plenty of water, then for dinner I had an individual pizza that was terrific. Over calories for the day, but I knew that was going to happen.

Sunday was a little more annoying, I didn't have the time to get in any exercise and breakfast was, well, chock full of delicious. Grumble grumble grumble...

Anyway, back on track today. Belt's still at 3rd notch, I don't see anything zany happening this coming week or weekend. Happy Monday, folks!
 
We gotta give ourselves some carefree days or we'd all go insane. Sounds like a great little weekend!
 
"lifted with zero enthusiasm"

This made me chuckle or lol as you kids say. I may commandeer the phrase for the occasional streak run.

I would be afraid of what was in the bags if it was drunk shopping.

The only thing to be feared would be my bank account, I´m pretty sure I´d get fun stuff... Bought a whole bunch of magnets last week and have been playing with them ever since, but sobriety usually keeps me from spending money on toys.
 
Oaks, it really was. If you find yourself heading to Northampton, check out McLadden's - with 105 beers on tap and a psychic bartender, you'll be impressed with what you get!

Q, nothing too frightening in the shopping bags, even after a visit to Acme Surplus, which has had, at various times, kosher Dove soap, rare earth magnets, sheepskin scraps, official Red Sox apparel in 3XL, and anatomically-correct doll torsos.

Jen, I like pizza more than tacos, but I can stop eating pizza. Tacos just seem to disappear into a black hole as I'm eating them and reappear as a tight belt the next day.

Maria, bank account was where it was expected, in spite of the fancy beers.

Sun, good idea, maybe I should write a book "Little John's Taco Diet: Lose Weight by the Appropriate Amount of Tacos."

Decent day yesterday, in spite of some 36" tall stress - apparently 4 years is when pure rage is discovered and exploited. Stayed (barely) under calories, and did a good lift. Already looking ahead to my next lifting regime, on the fence if I like this one. I still really dislike most leg exercises, but I know they're for the best.
 
A psychic bartender? Whaaat? I had to look up Northampton, wow that is far away! I went to Mt. Greylock in Lanesborough once. That's as close as I've gotten, I think. Do you like taco salads? We've switched from tacos to taco salad in the Oak home. I actually like it better that way, and it keeps me in check because there's only so much lettuce I can consume in one sitting.
 
Hey there fellow ISTJ Person :waving:

Glad you had a blast over the weekend and I still think that it is okay to splurge now and again. I agree with you about the tacos...for some reason they really are just so easy to eat! But you had salad and water too....so that in and of itself is a victory!!:hurray:
 
All I think of when I hear the phrase "taco salad" is the Bud Lite "Real Men of Genius" ad:

Not much to report today - I almost majorly dropped the ball yesterday when I decided I needed some McDonald's on the way home. But I forced myself into another lane to make sure I didn't make that turn, and 5 minutes later the cravings were gone. On the downside, I then proceeded to overdo it when I got home with peanuts and chocolate chips. Dang it. At least I rowed a good 600 calories.
 
Love the ad :D I don´t know about you but if I take a turn to McD I don´t just eat something there but I proceed home with cravings. So I´d have had a bad meal AND chocolate. You win.
 
Hello my name is V and I too am a Tacoholic. One thing I haven't made in a while is a shepherd's pie type thing but using taco spices to season the beef. I think I called it Adobe Pie.

Good job on the rowing and avoiding the Mickey D's. We'll deal with the chocolate chips later.

As for Red Sox apparel, I'll have to reserve comment as I have some biases when it comes to them.
 
Oh gosh, I eat a taco salad every other week or so, please don't think of that commercial the next time you see it written in my diary!
