My fitbit tells me that I burn fewer calories for the same workout as I lose weight. It makes perfect sense, but I don’t like the fact that I get to eat even less as I lose weight.

You do know that by continuing the workout and keeping the same diet, you will still lose weight, right? The slope becomes shallower, but it’s healthier to do it that way.

I know. Since I’m a jobless bum right now, I’m spending a lot of time watching J and K dramas right now, but I do that while I’m on my stationary bike so I’m racking up about 2 and a half to 3 hours a day of high activity. The nice thing about that much activity is that I pretty much get to eat as much as I like. :slight_smile:

You’re not a bum. Your Thunderbird intake is far too low to be a bum.

I’m seriously thinking about getting a doggy shirt for Kenyatta that says ā€œThey’re implantsā€.

Since when do we have ā€œIndependence Day observedā€? Having the 4th on a Saturday was inconvenient?

One more day off for those who work a standard 40 hour week. Having the 4th on a Saturday ruins that for those folks.

So, I signed up on a dating site a few months ago. What’s with all the messages from guys in their twenties, and early twenties at that? I like younger guys and all, but I’m almost 50, so I rather doubt there’s much real relationship potential there…

What, you never saw Extreme Cougar Wives on TLC?

I’m overweight and not that good looking. And err… what? Extreme Cougar Wives??? :confused:

I can relate. And I don’t have any interest in younger guys (at least, not 10 years or more younger than me).

I’ve mostly given up on the whole dating thing.

Something I read that I took to heart after my unemployment that sounds silly.

You don’t get days off from being unemployed.

When I first heard it it didn’t make any sense at all. But after being unemployed it made perfect sense. And by unemployed I mean haven’t given up on employment yet. The pressure just stays there constantly.

Maybe they have a thing for Asian women. :smile:

Middle child has been sort of sick for the last two weeks. Coughing and headache with some stomach issues. She’ll come home long enough to feel a bit better, then head right back out to hang with friends.

She also bought a vape pen, she’s an adult I told her I was disappointed and said don’t use it around me, maybe related, maybe not.

Anyway, she was up late at a friend’s last night, and then turned up at home this morning sick as a dog, on orientation day at university. My wife managed to drag her around to about two thirds of today’s events before she was throwing up blood and totally out of it.

On the phone I mention that she may have finally driven herself into the ground and exhausted herself by not resting when she was sick. You would have thought I accused her of making it all up.

I don’t always understand why pointing out the obvious is so badly taken. It’s times like this that I wonder if I’m not slightly on the asperger’s scale. But as far as I can tell every time she should be rested and ready to go for something she turns up exhausted and half sick, and then gets more sick.

Because that’s not fair.

I’m always accused of having some sort of motive when I’m just advancing a theory.

Oh, the ā€œyou’re only saying that because you want me to sufferā€ shtick.

Even better, it’s the ā€œYou’re only saying that because you’re an assholeā€ schtick.

There is no doubt in my mind that she is ill, I’m also certain that she’s been burning the candle at both ends. At a certain point partying, even if the ā€œpartyā€ is just hanging out at your bestie’s house and jabbering till 3 AM while vaping till you almost puke, catches up with you. To a certain extent I suppose I’m glad it happened now instead of after school starts. She is going to go in and register for class today, but she’s missed out on an hour of financial aid talk, which she needs, and a couple hours of academic advice.
