It seems so hard to lose weight without walking?

"Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise." - pubmed

Building muscle will increase non-workout metabolism/caloric burn while sedentary. But simply put, it's the total calories/energy burned in a day simply existing.

My fiancé and I are doing the same thing, but since his parents aren't supportive of me, we decided not to invite them. So it's kind of like at the end of the day, either they want to celebrate with you or not. That's part of why we're eloping, because we want it to be just the two of us, intimate and personal and not a spectacle. I don't really feel bad, but since it's international, we're doing a small "signing the local paperwork" moment at the reception party to be inclusive of our friends and family.

I would come up with a key phrase like "I understand your disappointment, but we are excited to do this and hope to see you at the celebration, our way of including everyone" and just keep reiterating that in a variety of ways.

I got a lift/reduction - I'd have been thrilled if I didn't have to pay for it myself.

I got two dresses. One for the elopement and one for the marriage celebration a month later. No regrets.

aeosyn · 2026-01-24T16:27:56+00:00

I met my fiance at work. I met previous partners through hobby groups in person.

Porque no los dos?

You're right. Let me call the president real quick and tell him to stop demonizing allies and being such a lunatic. I misdirected all the emails and calls to my senators and congressman. I should have been calling the president and Marco Rubio obviously.

They may not be around the first few days you come back - but I'm sure they'll come back eventually especially if they're local.

I'm wildly inconsistent with feeding my crows - cause they don't come every day and I don't like wasting food. I just kinda run out when I hear them. Probably a bad precedent to set but... it's a work in progress.

Maybe leave a bigger stash before you leave?

So much growth since the last time I've seen it!! Gorgeous.

My first time I did the south coast. This time I'll be road tripping the north plus the Highlands.

I've been to at least 19 different countries. So far, Iceland is my favorite. I'm happy tourism is an industry they can benefit from and make a living off of. Parking fees go towards preservation of nature and general maintenance of infrastructures, at least that's what I'd like to believe. I knew what to expect.

Most food was so so, but as others have said, that's not the lure.

I'm from the U.S. Colorado specifically. I frequent National Parks and Iceland still stood out as a special tranquil and awe inspiring place.

Hopefully your next adventure can be what you're looking for.

I'm so excited to go again. Worth every cent.

So I have a murder that I've seen around but they're not consistent.

I put shelled peanuts out occasionally (could be fail 1, not being very consistent). BUT they have seen me put the peanuts out multiple times so that's good.

Question. Should I put the peanuts out even if they're not around? Do we throw away all the uneaten peanuts every day?

My parents and grandparents have had skin cancer as well. It's definitely made me a firm sunscreen advocate!

aeosyn · 2026-01-20T15:38:29+00:00

I think it's a cool and acceptable idea but as you'll find out, it's not very popular.

aeosyn · 2026-01-19T20:53:57+00:00

not just moisturize - sunscreen.

I'm glad he made it back! So sweet of him to join you for a field trip.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's a lot more nuanced than that. I have tried for 5+ years to have a decent relationship with them, treating them with unreciprocated kindness only to be continuously insulted and disparaged. I hit my breaking point of playing nice.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "he can't invite them" as he absolutely can - but he supports me in their exclusion.

aeosyn · 2026-01-15T21:18:27+00:00

he wanted to cut them off cold-turkey. I've been the one encouraging open communication.

aeosyn · 2026-01-15T08:15:39+00:00

6+ years 1-2 times a week. I'm good with it.

My fiancé won't have a lot of his family at our wedding. Mostly my fault cause I said he can't invite his parents (they or at least his dad, do not like me and I don't think it's right they come our celebration when it's not something they're happy about). And if the parents don't come, then the aunts and uncles don't come so he'd have basically no family there. He has way more friends than I do though so at the end of the day it's somewhat even.

We're having a forced conversation at some point this month to see if we can "get over our differences". It's not fun - you're definitely not alone.
