Crooked Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wait and also, sorry for the abundance of posts just now, but we have to talk about my "breakfast" (or, more aptly, Meal 1): Baked sweet potato drenched in grassfed butter, shredded crockpot salsa chicken (literally just chicken and salsa in the crockpot on low for hours) and bacon. I could keep eating that breakfast forever. Comeback Challenge Link to comment
Crooked Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Trying not to let useless people piss me off today. Failing so far. So this went totally out the window. Comeback Challenge Link to comment
cline Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 ^^^^ lol sit back and remember that we are also sometimes seen as totally useless.. so... meh. In the long run... meh. Think about your OHP and your breakfast! I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

CourtnieMarie Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Recipe for future reference: Cut chicken into small pieces, cooked in a pot with coconut oil. Added curry paste and coconut milk, then a bag of frozen steamfresh stir fry veggies, chunks of pineapple and raw cashews. Cooked until I thought the veggies weren't frozen anymore. Put cauliflower florets in food processor, processed until "rice" sized, then sauteed in a bit of coconut oil as well. YUM. Yes ma'am!hey we made the same thing! except yours is better with the pineapple and cashews. i did not add those. next time! Wait and also, sorry for the abundance of posts just now, but we have to talk about my "breakfast" (or, more aptly, Meal 1): Baked sweet potato drenched in grassfed butter, shredded crockpot salsa chicken (literally just chicken and salsa in the crockpot on low for hours) and bacon. I could keep eating that breakfast forever.mmmmm i love crockpot salsa chicken. i haven't made it in awhile because the SO isn't a huge fan of it. but it's overdue. what kind of salsa did you use? Happy thoughts enable flying! /deep thoughts from Peter Pani'm in agreement. also, i had forgotten all about Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy until you said that.

Crooked Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Today was a no good very bad day.

Crooked Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Good luck. YOU GOT THIS! ugh, sorry buddy. hope today is better and you can make some headway. You guys are great. I'm so grateful all the time for the support I get here. I haven't been paying it back this challenge because I've got too much to do, but I am hoping to be a better member of the community after this unpleasant patch is over. I remember when I first joined NF one of my favorite parts was feeling like I really knew people through following their threads and supporting them, and I want that back. I'm a bit melancholy thinking about it, but I'm optimistic I can get back to playing a supporting role in people's journeys at some point soon. Today was another day of running around and being overwhelmed but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The final draft of my big paper is due in 48 hours, and then hopefully things ease up a bit. Also, a few of my responsibilities are getting passed on to other people soon. I'm just trying to keep going slow and steady until things get a little less hectic. Tonight I was going to order in for dinner but instead I came home and heated up food I had already cooked. It was only a minor victory but even a minor victory counts. Right now I'm struggling a little bit — looked up how to make an appointment with counseling services at the university though I didn't follow through just yet — but I am hoping that if I just keep plugging along things will feel more manageable soon. Sorry this was a bit jumbled; don't have the capacity or time for self-editing at the moment because I need to get back to work! Comeback Challenge Link to comment

I'm making these: http://www.primalpalate.com/blog/chocolate-chip-cookies/ Back to the more normal chaos of life. For whatever reason my inbox this semester has been a constant stream of activity. Going to think about how to make answering e-mails a PART of my day rather than somehow my entire day. Have a backlog of workouts to post but my Evernote isn't working for some reason.

Crooked Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yesterday in the gym I was doing squats and bench. And there was this girl on the other squat rack and then on the other bench doing about the same workout as me, with about the same weights. And at one point I accidentally took her 25-pound plates and then realized what I'd done and apologized, and we both said, at the same time, that it was nice to be fighting over the 25s with another girl. And I feel like she might be the kind of person who is on here. So if that sounds like your experience and you have cool red-dyed hair and work out at a university gym, get at me. [i guess that was an NF version of a missed connection] Comeback Challenge Link to comment
