Proof of how cool and popular I am, I immediately thought of how that list was almost the opposite of the original Star Trek movies where the even-numbered sequels are generally held in a higher regard. I'm sure you're surprised to hear that I had no girlfriends in HS.

Anyway, Oaks, good work on the odd numbered accomplishments!
 
Well hopefully the new shoes help the shins. It's great that you have been in the right shoes and have a good gait, but there might be something wrong that isn't visible that the shoes could help.

Also, I read number 3 with the name Jaques Pepin De and was really worried about you for a second. Now I'm a little worried for me.
 
LaMa, G offered me nachos for dinner last night (it's his fault, it's all his fault!) but I politely declined. That's not to say my food choices were good, but there was no cheese involved!

LJ, I didn't even know there were that many Star Trek movies! I only got into Star Trek when J.J. Abrams got involved. And Zachary Quinto. Ooooh, Zachary Quinto....

Q, there is a LOT of stuff on the internet, but thankfully there are still a few things I've managed not to see, haha.

Stacy, cheese lovers unite! Our cheese drawer is insane. When I grew up we had Kraft Parmesan (wood pulp and all) and a block of cheddar and that's all we needed in life. Oh, and pepper jack cheese if we were getting spoiled.
 
I've gotten VERY far behind with everyone's diaries lately! I know we're pretty much done wining about the new forum layout, but I REALLY miss being able to use Tapatalk. I can't get my phone to keep me signed in so there's a lot of scrolling and re-reading to figure out where I was, and it's frustrating. I'm on the bus for more than ninety minutes a day, that's prime time for keeping up with you fine folk!

My quick update - I binged hard yesterday. My rough estimate is 2,900 calories total with a lot of sweets and other crap that does not fuel my body properly. It was emotional eating, plain and simple. But I did manage to muster up the energy to stretch, foam roll, and ice my shin. Today I saved my workout for the evening so that I don't have 3.5 hours of potential eating time. Yesterday I used the elliptical, today I'll be hitting up the treadmill.
 
Hey, 2900 kcal is not a lot of damage if it´s an exception, 2000 of those were probably needed anyway! Also: great job stretching, rolling and icing instead of saying f all this, today is lost already. Have you asked an admin about the sign-in problem? My phone is fine with the new forum.
 
Hmm, I just tried logging in from the main screen instead of within a specific thread (which is what I was doing before) and it kept me signed in when I closed the browser. Maybe it was that simple? Time will tell!
 
It didn't work but I just asked an admin about it a couple of minutes ago. I never go anywhere on this forum but the diaries, I forget other places exist!
 
I miss being able to use my phone easily for the forum too & I also only rarely go anywhere else except the diary section.
 
Hi Oaks,

I am an emotional eater too. I did have my binging moments when I was dieting but I got back on track right away. That was the key for me. I never let it get out of hand. I am much more careful now and I guess I can say that healthy eating has been a way of life for me for the last few years. I still have my - I have to eat cake moments-lol- but they are not that often anymore. I can't let myself get back to where I once was.

Running helps me burn off some of the weaker moments I have. It has saved me from having to eat that pie, more times than you can imagine-haha
 
I also miss Tapatalk. It was a good way for me to sneak on here at work every now and then.

I wouldn't worry too much about 2900 cals. If it's a once in a while thing, it probably won't have too much of an impact.
 
You and I are two peas in a pod, Cate! There's so much going on in the diaries I'd get overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything else.

Cowboy, I found myself wishing that night that I hadn't gone to the gym in the morning so I could have maybe hit the pavement. I could/should have found some other way to cope but nothing is as motivating as running.

Thanks Cory! I had gone to the gym that morning so some of my calories were negated with sweat... I don't log my calories in MyFitness Pal often but I like how it tells you 'If every day were like this, you'd weigh ## pounds in five weeks!" It's a little extra motivation on your good days and a little reminder that life doesn't end because you had one bad day.

I love that too! I would hit the button and be like..."eeeeeeeeeeeek.. what's it going to saaay?" haha!
 
Check out the original Wrath of Kahn, and then have fun talking like Ricardo Montelban for the next few days (and maybe acquire a pectoral chest plate). That's all you need to know about Star Trek.

Like everyone else said, one day of calorie surplus ain't gonna do a thing.
 
I love entering my food on golf days. If every day was like golf days I would be having to watch out that I didn't get too skinny!
 
LJ, I just told G that I was supposed to watch the original Wrath of Kahn and he excitedly ran to our little DVD queue that we keep next to the tv and pulled it out. Apparently I'll be watching it sooner than I thought!

Cate, I'll have to track on of my long run days and see what it tells me afterwards :)
 
Alright, I need to get Star Trek on my tv quick!

Weekend recap:
Friday I ate one too many desserts. Catered lunch included King Cake, which I've never had before so I succumbed to a second one for my mid afternoon snack. One drink at home.

Saturday I had nine miles on the schedule, and the forecast was set to be sunny and mid 50s, which is a forty degree change from my last outdoor run. Something didn't sit right with my stomach and I had to stop half way through. Tried to pick it back up but only managed to get through 6.5 miles before I headed home and freaked out about how much I don't want to be training for a marathon. PMS is a mean thing, I also freaked out four weeks ago. At least I know what to expect next month.

Saturday night was a friend's birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Two drinks, and the typical food (chips and guac, tacos, rice and beans).

Sunday was errands, including my first trip to an Asian market. G loves Asian cooking. I love lychees and shrimp chips. New products I picked up were dried squid and tapioca pearls. Dinner was steak, asparagus and a potato. Treats were a homemade brownie plus half a bottle of wine.

And now it's Monday! I've got last night's leftovers for lunch, plus a selection of snacks to choose from for the next couple of days. Homemade Lara bars (made of dates, coconut, cocoa, almonds, walnuts), homemade morning glory muffin, overnight oats made right in an almost empty peanut butter jar, and an orange. Oh, and I did a 3 mile run this morning!
