Blue Thunder Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yay furry animals. I've been debating if I should get another cat or not. I really hate it when things die. Its been almost 2 years since my last cat. Hmmmm. Oooh. And I really am sad today. I emailed my health provider for this work thing where we get money for doing a health screening. All my coworkers got their money except me....and I did it earlier than them! Nooooo fair. The email said my info hadn't been received, but maybe it would show up mid August... bleh. I hope so... Diet was ok today. Ate lots of dum dums to curb cravings. 1 Quote Battle Log Link to comment

Blue Thunder Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thank you. I did eat a lot of dum dums...but I think thats ok. My mom actually said I could get a cat....but now I'm rethinking it. Too scary. What if it dies again? Or what if its too much work. Bleh. Found 5 cents today at least. Wish my neighbors would turn off their music! Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Omg. Massive cinnamon toast binge. Does this mean I'm insane? Because I keep repeating the same thing??? Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Nah it just means you're human and you haven't found a way to avoid it yet. The universe will keep teaching us the same lesson (or try to) until we learn. Painful but ultimately beneficial! You will get there, try not to be too judgemental of yourself when this happens. I've read some interesting comments in other peoples' threads about attitudes towards food, stuff like trying not to feel guilty about eating certain foods since that often seems to perpetuate the problem somehow. And keeping a record of how certain foods make you feel, which can help you in future to think - I am not willing to eat this food - when the craving hits. Check out Butternut's challenges some time, she has been gradually changing the way she feels and thinks about food and is seeing some great results. This does take a long time though, so try not to beat yourself up when you relapse, just quietly say ok, that happened, now I'm moving on and still working towards that goal. You can do this 1 Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks I can't remember what happened after I posted last time.... I think I skipped the long way to the train and then also skipped running. I tried running again today and I only made it through 30 minutes....maybe I'm too old to do 2 times a week at 60 minutes on the treadmill..... I dunno. Eating hasn't been that bad this weekend. I did finally...I think fix my bicycle. I did some recycling...gotta totally ripped off And did some grocery shopping. Made my stew and oh...also took today off work. I think I'm going to try to cut the running out and see how that affects my appetite. I started to get a bit light headed and sick feeling towards the end of running today. Could be the heat. Or maybe I should just do 30 minutes of running. Hmmmm. So many options. lol. Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 So I think I have officially quit running. Time to store my running shoes away. Sad thing is I still have a prepaid gym membership until next April....such a waste of money I should insert an interesting photo to make this post more interesting.... hmm. Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yay rick and morty! You could do other stuff at the gym so you still get your money's worth, have you tried any sort weight lifting? Or even just using the space to do body weight workouts? Those things are great for keeping fit, and also don't take as much time as running on the treadmill for an hour (that is so long! I never ran more than 20-30 minutes ) Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I know....I feel so guilty though. Should be able to do an hour. What is wrong with me. I don't even know why I try.....just going to end up old and lonely and dead one day. lol Oh and ugly. Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Aw, don't despair! I think it's a good thing to listen to your body and not overdo it if you're feeling strained. And don't feel guilty! I know it's hard not to, but guilt is such a harmful emotion. It always seems to make things worse than if you just accept a slip up or whatever and try to move on. You can do this!

Blue Thunder Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Hope you feel better too. I've been lurking your thread. I guess I should cheer up. Good timing on your post here....I was just about to binge. Hope I can hold out. Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Haha yay for lurking! I do that heaps. Quick, distract yourself! Or chew on some gum! Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well....I've been eating a lot of dum dums I don't remember if I mentioned my first ex is getting married....can't remember. She's getting married in October. Been thinking a lot about her. I haven't seen her since 2012 so about 4 years. Makes me want to binge. Have a test tomorrow for a new job. Don't think I'll get it....but I have to ride my bike from the train to get there. Hopefully I don't get lost and hopefully my bike doesnt get stolen.... Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well.... I sorta missed my birthday update. I forget what my goal was. Something something. Today was my ex gf's wedding. I'm glad to say I have not had the urge to look on facebook...so that's something. And I got to chat with my oldest brother and mom and watch some Carbonaro Effect. So that was cool. I've sort of stopped lifting weights due to carpal tunnel. I'm hoping that goes away when I get my new ergo keyboard Anyway. I haven't really binged lately...I'm not exactly sure why..but good right??? lol Guess I'll keep chugging along. Carry on and that is all...till next time...maybe Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Tried doing some pull ups yesterday and.... not a good idea with my wrists. I feel like they are getting better though. I'm thinking maybe I won't be able to lift or anything anymore since I'm an old man... Guess its a good trade off for functional wrists. Still running on the treadmill twice a week so sorta getting my money's worth at the gym... I guess. Anyway I'm starting to get a bit stressed at work so hoping I don't binge. I've had a few small dum dum binges which is better than cinnamon toast binge 1 Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I don't know anything about wrists, but I'm sure there are plenty of exercises you can do to work around that. Have you tried yoga or pilates? They are great for increasing core strength and flexibility, might even help your wrists. Or bodyweight workouts? Well done with keeping the binges to a minimum, that is great progress! Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks. Nice to see someone still remembers meeeee. lol You just reminded me of those stretchy band things.... I had two of them. Just tried to find one...wonder if I tossed them. I think maybe I could try those as its not as tough and maybe wouldn't hurt me. Hmm. I'll look again tomorrow....maybe do some cleaning 1 Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think I'll start a new mini challenge for myself. I'm trying to save money and need to also get my diet and exercise more in order. Plan is to: -Ride bicycle to further train station for exercise and save a little money (Also thinking of not renewing gym membership in April) -Measure food more accurately instead of eyeballing it. -and....i guess those two cover it. Will weigh myself tomorrow morning and take some quick photos. 3 Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Owlet Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Good goals! Simple is best. And eyeballs always lie haha. Good luck Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Blue Thunder Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'm very simple.... Kind of boring really. I almost deleted it til you commented. So fast! I'll trade you for an exciting life 2 Quote Battle Log Link to comment
