Oh always check your work! Underwear checker lady #9 doesnt ask the underwear tailors if she should check their work! Just put on a different hat and check your work. It will cause you LESS worry in the long run.

A friend of mine once said that computer programming (and this applies here i think) is the only job where you can get paid for doing it wrong over and over again!

So I didn't check my work.

Probably should have, though.

I never went over any tests when I was in school- because I would do the same thing. My first instinct was generally right.

Just found out as an employee I'm eligible to test a new weight loss program they are going to offer to members and i can do it free for one year. We get cookbooks and a scale and cooking stuff and the program all for free. I think it is a sign from the universe it is time for me to lose all this weight and at last unveil the real me I've worked so hard in therapy to find. Hoo rah and hell yes let's DO this!!!!

I dont mean change an answer if there is no way to test it. But like in this case, there is a way to test it - you do the equation the other way. A lot of math you can check your work - add up the angles of your triangle, junk like that. But if you cannot check it objectively like that, i agree - dont second guess yourself.

Yes i agree swimming should be on the list of virtues!

Im glad your plan is for a year. I am having a hard time figuring out what is too tired and what is pushing it too much or not enough.

I hear ya on the six months. 40 years later...

It's exciting all the stuff it provides. Like 6 diff books and cd's, measuring cups n spoons all fun colors, a little blender thing , food scale, person scale, tape measure all kindsa stuff.

I've been with my T for six and half years. It hasn't been a constant every week thing. I think there was a year or two in there where I was going every other month to just check in with him.

But I had no idea how long I'd be with him when I first started. I was a mess!

unaluna · Sep 25, 2015, 06:59 PM

Okay, im startin to talk to my scale. "This is not funny, scale!" Good thing its not one that talks back to ya. The apt mgr said we will probably be open til oct 3, and they will come into the apts to close the ac units the third week of october. So my life is all planned out for this month, knock on wood. Im thinking if i decide to swim inside, maybe i will swim on t days plus saturday? That would give me 2 on, one off, 2 on, then sunday & monday off. I think 2 days of swimming then a day off will manage the tiredness / overtraining / undertraining dilemma. I cant believe how dumb i am about this, but i am. Ive never successfully managed something like this in my life. Im more of a all or nothing at all girl. But now im beholden to t. I like that word better than accountable. What story is that from, beholden? Member of the Wedding?

Don't mind that scale Unaluna, muscle weighs more than fat.

Most definitely this.

Thanks - i just want to weigh less than ONE Manning (football) brother, rather than more than the both of them combined!

i definitely thought of that as i was typing my answer, but i was on my phone and way too lazy to write more. i still didn't check my work with math, though

I hated it, and wanted to be done ASAP.

You should give your scale a name and put eye and nose and mouth stickers on it! Creepy, huh?

I used to swim every day but my shoulder couldn't take it, so I do every other day now. Works much better, more energy on days I swim. Then do something on the off day, some totally different exercise, to keep your body on its toes.

I measure myself in "Curlys" (Moe, Larry, Curly) rather than Manning brothers...

And also most definitely THIS. I loathe math with the hot passion of a thousand fiery suns.

Vet had the gall to say she was giving me a reality check about the prognosis, but chickened out on a timeline, deferring to an expensive specialist I have to see as soon as they can fit me in.

HATE it. I want all the people who are feeling wise like hallmark cards to just leave me alone.

I need to stop sobbing and get to work! I am on deadline and I am SO sick of deadlines. And constraints. And obstacles. And imperfections. And being very far from everyone I trust who cares about me and wouldn't say stupid things.

I'm so sorry. What was your pet's diagnosis?
