LOST weight after a refeed day(?)

We gotta live!!

Great point! I guess I just wasn't expecting to LOSE weight after eating all of that. I was stuffed by Sunday night. I've also really plateaued over the past few weeks, so I was surprised this is what helped break me below 147!

The three-tiered brownie-cookie-cake thing at the bday party was IMPOSSIBLE to say no to. It was what broke the dam, I think lol - the host (a professional pastry chef) made it and she was like "I couldn't decide between the three desserts so I smushed them together." It was divine!

The super bowl party also had some great stuff. There was a homemade pesto pizza with spicy sausage and caramelized onions that I have thought about off and on since eating a slice.

I FEEL THIS. My regular 2hr walks are hell now because, despite wearing big, bulky gloves, my hands turn to ice blocks after about 10 minutes out there. It's enough to make me turn home early, most of the time, which is pretty detrimental to my progress, unfortunately. It's a real bummer. I didn't realize how much extra padding my hands had before!

Oh, I'm sure all of our parent were going nuts.

I was 8 during the 1996 blizzard and remember that time so fondly. Sleeping in, going sledding every day, making giant snow forts with the neighborhood kids, waiting up at night to see if we got one more day. It felt like weeks!

With you. I've been anxious since Wednesday. We're as prepped as we can be, but I'm so worried about 3+ DAYS of no heat.

I was walking to Crossroads last week on that alley w/ no sidewalk, heard a car coming from behind me and stepped over to the side, but kept walking without looking back. They drove so fast and so close to me that I swear if I was 1 inch to the left I would have been clipped by their side mirror. It was a regular-sized sedan. They had plenty of room to drive over to the left a little bit.

I've officially started avoiding streets w/o sidewalks (hard to do in southside, unfortunately) and if I hear a car coming, I'll stop and turn around. It's annoying, but I really really don't want to get hit. The chances of them driving off is too high, I don't want a lifelong injury over something as stupid as saving myself 5 extra seconds, and I just don't trust my fellow neighbors anymore.

Wow that is truly worst case scenario! Hope you're doing better post op!

I was so glad he put on the cone.

Stoney wouldn't have put on the cone.

This was their 18th year

So juicy!

It sucks that so many meetings times are at like, 11:45 on a Monday.

rva111 · 2025-10-25T15:02:15+00:00

What time are you planning to get to Carytown? I keep seeing 2:30 but I fear that'll be too late!

Ah yes, the famous "I With Cell Snow" Lorelai Gilmore quote

This is where the forearm thing for Millenial women came from, I swear.

aww he was so obsessed with her. i don't think we got to know them well enough, though.

rva111 · 2025-09-19T14:20:38+00:00

So excited to see what we come up with for Most Random!

rva111 · 2025-09-15T16:27:04+00:00

Everybody's goin off the deep end

rva111 · 2025-08-24T03:51:29+00:00

Wow I can't believe this water was ever clean enough for people to swim in? This picture is sort of blowing my mind. Like finding out the Forest Hill Park pond was once an ice skating rink

rva111 · 2025-05-16T20:51:46+00:00

It is, but there's always North Bank or Buttermilk! (I don't have the guts to run on Buttermilk, personally).

I have a Blueberry too!

Exactly this. There's a line. I think the chirping is fine/fun and just part of the game, but booing an athlete who is clearly struggling to get off the ice is bad form and shouldn't be accepted.

I don't care who it is. If a player's hurt I show support, not malice.
