Matt Z 4,139 Posted September 17, 2018 So after a weekend of beer, cake, cupcakes, scratch Cookies, I'm still down from Friday... Damn I love this IF crap LOL Big news from the weekend... I traded my car in for a Jeep. Kinda sad about it honestly, I really did love my 2014 Dodge Dart GT... so much awesomeness packed into that car... but I just couldn't keep dealing with the super crappy roads around New England... the construction, the pending winter, so many potholes... I miss it the Dart, a lot. But, I got a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4 now, yeah I gained almost 25k miles on the odometer in the trade (My dart only had 37500 on it!) But it was a 1 owner, corporate vehicle that was well cared for, I've got all the same features, less the top of the line audio and the sun roof... but I'll survive. 3 1 GreenTealael, Sosewsue61, sillykitty and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful quilts! Quilt shows seem so midwesternly wholesome. Like it should be paired with casseroles, not ropes! 4 GreenTealael, Orchids&Dragons, Sosewsue61 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn I love this IF crap LOL I kinda hate you! Congrats on the new car. I'm a little sad for you about the Dart too though I actually went car shopping last week, but there were no more of the car I want with the options I want left within 100 miles of me, at least. So I'll be waiting and watching for when the new model year starts arriving, and they start discounting them. 3 Sosewsue61, FluffyChix and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sillykitty 10,780 Posted September 17, 2018 So yesterday was not good for eating well, or IF. In a stall, not sure if the poor eating is to blame, or just the timing. Traveling today. Managed to avoid the surprisingly delicious Breakfast sandwich on the plane by sleeping through the meal service, lol. So that is one way to do IF. I realize I have some traveling food triggers. For instance if I'm flying out of a certain terminal that has shake Shack, then I am hungry, where I may not have been hungry otherwise. Another airport, I always have PF Changs, so knowing I'm going to be in that airport makes me hungry. (And I'm usually all about local authentic ethnic restaurants!). I'm not sure what I can do about it, other than white knuckle it, or make good choices, neither are really my strong points. So today will probably be an IF day, assuming my dinner plans aren't too late. Now IF + good choices, ugh, that's tougher! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I shouldn't say that Friday I was 226.5 and today after a weekend of all that crap I'm 224.2? (I was actually down to 223.9 on Saturday... but you know... beer and cake and all the shi tty foods LOL) 3 sillykitty, FluffyChix and Sosewsue61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esskay77 785 Posted September 17, 2018 I get wanting to eat from places that represent the local cuisine/restaurants -- it is interesting and fun. But, the good thing, though it is really hard to convince yourself to do--some of the places now sell hummus and veggies, hard boiled eggs, things like that. I never sounds appealing but afterwards, I'm always really happy that I did. IF I can convince myself to buy those. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. lol 2 1 GreenTealael, Sosewsue61 and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,444 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Yeah i got cocky... so Smooth Move declared war on me... But I only had one cup! I guess It was really needed? Sigh... No real IF until Tuesday. Just pushing whichever liquids and binding foods I can.
