Eating was good today ... I did indulge in a piece of chocolate ganache cake this evening since I was at a bridal shower that my book club threw for one of the gals who is getting married next weekend. It was delish and totally worth it!!! (No guilt whatsoever!) No formal workout with the sore throat, congestion, and aches, but I was very active/busy all day ...
Feeling kind of bummed though ... I am a Catholic ... a real believer ... I have a lot of faith, and I truly believe in "love thy neighbor" and try to see the good in everyone. I have never in my life given anyone "shit" over his/her personal beliefs, never told anyone that they were going to hell because they weren't Catholic or didn't believe in the things that I believe in. So tonight, at my book club, with my FRIENDS ... two of them totally get on me about being Catholic ... one was saying that when she was a little girl, one of her playmates told her that because she wasn't Catholic, she was going to hell ... and the other was all over me for Christians (in general) putting down other religions with differing beliefs. I was so shocked I had to get up and walk away after telling them that I certainly didn't do those things and that frankly I was feeling a bit attacked. Although I consider myself religious, I don't shove it down anyone's throat ... and I am interested in other religions and like to talk about the similarities and differences, but in a tolerant way, not in a "you're wrong and I'm right" kind of way. I'm just so upset that my (so-called) friends would do this to me ... at a party ... in front of other friends ... I just don't even know what to say or think.
I guess I'll go meditate before bed or I won't be able to sleep ... and joy ... my kids will be up in approximately 6.5 hours ...

Julie,
Please don't ever read the "Peaceful religion" thread in CE, but I would like for you to know that it also happens here to Christians. I don't say that to minimize your pain, I just say that so that you know I empathize with you. I am totally sorry that you experienced that. Maybe you can chalk it up to "They must have had a really bad day!"
(((((((((((((((Julie)))))))))) )))
The whole 6.5 hours thing is EXACTLY why there is no book club in my future!  |

RW- good on you for stopping at two - it's amazing how something like an online challenge can be enough extra help you stop or control a thoughtless impulse - I know the thought of either confessing here or lying (by not comfessing) flashed through my head when I saw those ice cream sandwiches today (90+F today)
Julie - I'm sorry your *friends* dumped on you tonight - you can always vent here or in PM -

I'm doing okay. My challenge is a little vague. I'm still not trying obsessively to get abs. Yay me! Only 18 days to go!  |

RL - change the style of glasses and that pic is remarkably close to how I looked in high school... 
Julie - I hardly know what to say. I've certainly encountered a lot of people with a real chip in their shoulder regarding Christianity, and I find it deeply disturbing that they think religious stereotypes are perfectly okay in that context (but if someone harbors any racial or ethnic stereotypes, that's horrible...). I don't think people realize how hurtful their words can be.

Awww Julie, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for you (not to mention you're fun to be around  ) because of the help you've given me over the last several months getting me back on a good fitness track after my back surgery. Without you, I would not be enjoying the torture of all these workouts. I can honestly say, I've never felt fitter or better and I owe a lot of it to you.
But, mostly I hold such high regard for you because you never judged me for who I am. Despite the things that make us different, we connected because of what we have in common. Please don't let those that are closed minded and extreme in their beliefs take away the faith you have in those that are more compassionate and accepting. Those are the people in your life that matter more.
I hope you are feeling a little better about it today.

Two thoughts on getting dissed by your 'friends', both possibly valid, maybe something else involved, hard to say.
They were just plain rude, and owe you an apology. Problem for you, what do you do about friends like that, when they don't apologize?
The issues may be even deeper than they let on, and they have been traumatized is some way. And through transference (best explanation of this is in Denial of Death) and you ended up the unlucky target.
Anyway sympathy.

Day number whatever = check.
Thank goodness for Friday and ice cream...I was getting pretty desperate. Cravings = bad. Hopefully better next week.
Have I mentioned that my treadmill goal is an 11 minute mile? I know it's nothing like what Tony (and others) can crank out, but it was one of my milestones for before I was pregnant with Jack (3 years ago). I am very close to getting it done in my HIIT, so I definitely think if I just went out to do it w/o the intervals, I could do it. One day next week, I'm gonna have to give it a try.
Have a great long weekend everyone!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts ... the day went better as it progressed. Matty and I talked and he helped me feel better about it.
We're back in New Hampshire for the weekend ... it's supposed to be sunny and beautiful all weekend ... one last hurrah for summer!!
Eats were perfectly on target today ... AND I meditated (see my new log)
