I believe the fat on my abs is rapturing away.
That's awesome, Bob! I'm feeling partially raptured ... partially not raptured. *ehem* "could use a little more rapturing here, please" ... BUT, I'll tell you what IS rapturing away, for sure, and that is bad habits in thought and action! Still more to go.Today:Workout:Tricep: 25 lbs. ♪♪Food:Breaky: Pasta and an egg (300)Lunch: Apple w/PB and a small salad (300)Snack:Snack:Dinner:
Ok, I will stop posting about it here
although I guess it's been helpful for me
and I guess I secretly thought that it's possible that somebody else, some secret reader, may need the information for themselves
And, if there happens to be somebody who needs it, I think that's worth it. There's tons to all of this for some people, whether you understand that or not!
I'm not sure why you insist that I'm not being myself. I am. But, I certainly don't expect everybody to understand that.
Today I walked to the burger van.Thal
(How do you create a blog like this?)
I can probably do 5 push ups in a minute.
Come on Dougs, tuck in.
Sorry, Littletune, I forgot in my last post about answering this! It's really super easy, actually. You just go to a blogging homepage (I'm sure there's lots, but I use blogger) and there's probably a button to press that says something like "Create a blog!" or such . The one I use is here:https://www.blogger.com/home
Baked beans with sausage is yummy & dougs likes it too.No doubt Alistair is throwing up just thinking of trying it.
Oh m1469, you'll stop posting here just because of Alistair?? Why does everyone always take him so seriously? I don't think he's so serious, I think he's kidding... in his way
I have merely put forward my stance on it,
Congratulations, I guess .
What you think, in particular, isn't *exactly* my concern. But, more that in my own head I decided that you were the "forum elect" to tell stupid m1469 that she is being a fool by posting what I have been.
If that bothers me, I guess that's my problem, but I'm not going to shove one thing or another around in myself emotionally and intellectually just to prove to myself or anybody else that I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want, despite what other people think.
That starts becoming some game that I'm not entirely interested in playing, at least not if I feel it's a set up .
What I feel I need to learn is more important, eventually, than me posting about here or not, however, posting had been something I enjoyed quite a bit and was helpful for me. But, if I am just making some fool of the forum by doing so, then fine, I won't.
You had decided it was fun to incorporate into this thread all sorts of other discussion, and even though I felt it had a purpose, like I was either supposed to say something or not, I ended up deciding that I actually didn't mind that there was at least *something* going on in the thread besides JUST what I had been posting. I figured you would become bored with it eventually.
I hope that you understand the situation OK now!Best,Alistair
No, I can't say that I do, exactly. How would I? Do you understand my situation OK now? In any event, I do appreciate your responding to my post .
... nithing that I wrote was intended to provide either impression, nor do I believe for one moment that it does so.
That's a funny word
I was just rather surprised by the frequency with which you posted all details of what you ate, its calorific content and the particular exercises that you did on a daily basis (...)Best,Alistair
The fact that you were "surprised" and ... I am assuming it was the kind of surprise like "What in the world is she going on about? I don't get the point ..." vs. "wow, she's obviously committed to making a change, that's surprising" ... means to me that you actually don't understand it.
Which, is fine. But, I have felt as though you would ultimately like me to see that what I am doing is or at least seems silly (at least to you).
But, I *am* just being m1469!
I have explained it quite a bit by now, but I think that you would still feel "surprised" (if that's what you want to call it) should I actually post in the same way that I was in this thread.
In any event, the point is that we have to eat and function physically on a daily basis, whether we want to or not. We have to make decisions about it. Deciding not to decide or not to care is actually making a decision. Aside from my confusion over issues surrounding it all, which I have adequately explained, I believe, part of my posting on a daily basis was that it reflected a decision I was making on a daily basis to make a change. I was not merely posting what I was doing each day, but rather making a decision that I wanted to hold myself accountable for, because if I don't hold myself accountable, I won't make a change. And, changing something requires a new habit, and posting daily *about* my new habits was part of forming that for me. Again, though, I've already explained this at least in part. So, yes, I am thinking that you just don't understand.
I used to be a part of a forum that was focused on losing weight, but it was part of the formal diet plan that I used to use. And, btw, I'm not at all suggesting that people should do the kinds of exercises that I am doing or that they should eat like I am eating (of course, I guess I've already said this, too ), I'm not suggesting that what I am doing is THEE way or the only way or even the best way for anybody! (wth). I am simply doing what I am doing because it works for me! (again, wth).
The problem is that, for anyone else, the dietary régime and exercise routines that might be suitable for each of them at any one time are likely to be different to those of your own personal choice as you have posted them here and, if sense and practicality is to prevail for anyone else, each of those things ought to be carried out under the general supervision of a clinical nutritionist and a physiotherapist or other like professional, because none of us has the same requirements or the same system to deal with or the same problems with which to contend.
At least I'm endeavouring to take what you write seriously and I hope that you can accept that fact without undue difficulty!Best,Alistair
What does that have to do with anything I have posted at all? Or, more directly, why do you feel the need to remind me of this every chance you get when I have already posted many times over my thoughts on that?
Despite the fact that I would actually love to believe you, I find it hard to believe since, despite the fact that for some reason you are bothering to spend any time at all in this thread and sometimes in direct response to me, it seems you are actually not truly reading particulars about what I write.
Except for the fact that you apparently happened to note that I had mentioned something about body image. I'll give you a little treat for that *gives Alistair a shrimp* .
What it seems (to me, at least) to have to do with it is that you're writing in great detail about what you're doing but it's not so obvious how that might help other people who might be wanting to try to achieve what you're achieving with your own dietary and exercise régime. Your use of "every chance you get" has come about merely as a result of asking about and discussing the rationale and purpose of your detailed postings, I think; I'd almost certainly not have gone around that one more than once otherwise.Of course I've read all that you've written! I would not have commented on any of it if I hadn't...As I wrote before, I've read all that you've written here, not just one thing, so there are no "exceptions". Thank you for the shrimp which I will enjoy once I've put it with some others and then thought how to prepare them...Anyway, let's not fall out over squats, dumbells, leg curls, calories and the like just because they happen to preoccupy you far more than they do me!Best,Alistair
*Bob wonders what a woman/piano-object looks like.*
Well, probably just like a guy would look as a man/piano-object. A big blob with a curve and a great smile. Hey, look, I actually don't even recognize this person in myself who would post something like that. It's like a brand new side of myself! *mixed feelings*
