TDATuesday GTKY

[somebabiesmom]

Here's The-Day-After-Tuesday GTKY (apologies in advance if my questions suck):

1. What's your diet breaker (no promises you won't be flamed if you've never dieted)?
2. What is your dream second career?

#@litzoididit! #Imsohereforyou #Idontactuallyhaveatwitteraccount

[somebabiesmom]

1. French fries with ranch

2. Massage therapist on a cruiseliner

[frozenpeas]

1. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not even trying to diet right now. But back when I was running a lot more & otherwise eating healthy--Edy's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. Every time.

2. I'm fickle & this changes often, but right now I'm watching Smash on Amazon Prime & daydreaming about being a great Broadway singer. Unfortunately I can't carry a tune to save my life.

[librarychica]

1. Tortilla chips, mmmm, tortilla chips

Now I really want Mexican for breakfast

2. If being a travel agent was still a viable career I would totally be a travel agent. I love planning vacations. Mine, other people's, I'm not picky.

[psutexan]

1. Tortilla chips salsa and queso. I should just avoid Tex Mex when I'm trying to lose these last 10 lbs.
2. When I retire I'm either going to teach classes at Sur La Table or plan parties.

[doodler]

1. The holidays were my diet breaker. Too many temptations. I lost 40 lbs and then November got here and I haven't dieted/worked out since. I recently upgraded my fitbit to the Surge and I did the first two workouts of couch to 5k this week so I am hoping to jump back on the wagon.

2. Channeling my inner Cher: If I could turn back time.....I would get a nursing degree and probably be a school nurse.

[2chatter]

1. Anything carb. I love a bagel with cheese or cream cheese, tortilla chips with salsa, pizza, tortillas with jalepenos and ranch, croissants, baguettes dipped in peanut sauce...
2. I would love to create a niche consulting business focused on communication - showing schools, churches, non-profits, etc. how to effectively communicate - frequency, delivery mechanism, format, writing style. I am frustrated daily by something I receive - Girl Scouts, Day Care, the youth group - that fails to list a date for an activity, deadlines, locations, contacts, actionable information or is provided too soon or too late to enable it to be effective. I seriously dream of creating quick reference cards and tip sheets and checklists for them.

[emmyg65]

1. I don't diet, but cheese and ice cream. I love me some dairy.

2. A florist, specializing in weddings and other big events.

[cathain]

1. The holidays for me too - I was doing pretty good until then but it's been all downhill since.

2. Doing special effects for movies.

[olenka]

1. Not a dieter, but ice cream was probably the culprit in half my pregnancy weight gain. And I don't even like ice cream that much!

2. Artist

[helenahhandbasket]

1. Donuts. No, cake. No, cookies. Wait. Ice cream. (I have very little will power)

2. Personal shopper.

[k3am]

1. I've been doing slow carb for almost a year now with great results (currently about 7 lbs lower than I was before I got KU). I get a free for all cheat day that's usually on Saturday and totally indulge in whatever I want, but the stuff that usually trips me up during the week? The dried mango in the fruit and nut mix from Costco that we get at work. The stuff is like crack and really is just candy in disguise.

2. YA fiction writer. I used to actually work at it, but now I just think about when I used to work on it.

[rach]

1. When not KU- sugar. I love cake & donuts especially. I have switched to vinegar-y or salty things with this pregnancy- go figure.

2. Baker. I love, love, love baking; it is so relaxing to me.

[erinshelley21]

1. Buffalo Wild Wings. Mild wings with buffalo chips and a side or two of ranch. I could eat that for days.
2. I think I would like to own a boutique of some kind. Or a bakery.

[l504]

1. Everything is a diet breaker, as I just love food

2. A travel photographer. I'm not good, by any means, but I'd love to travel and have an "excuse"

[vvvvvfee]

1. not a dieter. i think the most dangerous things for me are sweet/salty combo items, because i can eat a lot before i get sick of them- so probably stuff like kettle corn or chocolate-covered pretzels.
2. probably something food-related- teaching cooking classes or selling some kind of home-made item at the farmer's market.

[mommyatty]

1. Anything fried. Anything. French fries, onion rings, tortilla chips, chicken strips, pickles. If you melt cheese, add sour cream, or give me ranch with my fried food, I might kiss you. That's why I have a twice per week limit on fried food. It keeps me both sane (because I get some at least) and not humongous (because it's not every meal).

2. A children's librarian. Or a writer. This changes regularly. When the weather is great and I'm totally stressed, I want to clean pools for a living.

[tmclawchick]

1. Not a dieter, but I've been known to kill an entire bag of cool ranch Doritos in one sitting. Which is why I haven't bought them in years

2. Preschool teacher, hands down. I friggin' love kids and planning cool things for them to do/crafts for them to make. Maybe in 5-10 years I'll go back to school?

[xanthepants]

1. NACHOS. I could eat chips and cheese for days. if they are in front of me - I will eat them. If I know they are in an adjacent room I will find an excuse to go there.
2. A home organizer potentially. Or a home stager so I didn't really have to deal with a true end user. But I ran into a little boutique this weekend that opens once a month that has wonderful repainted/salvaged items along with great accessories. I would totally love doing that. Once a month I could deal with people and the rest of the time I could paint and create. Lovely.

1. baked goods
2. Professional Retired person.  That's a thing right?

AARP consultant?

[jlaok]

1. Wine. There's no "diet" substitute for it.

2. Either life organization (is that a thing) or financial planning.

[erinshelley21]

I would like to change my number 2 answer. I want to be a fun planner. One of my moms clients has an actual position in the company that planning fun is all this woman does. Their parties, picnics and other things throughout the year.

No I mean my next career is doing nothing.  I know someone that works for AARP though. 

[liziz]

1. Literally anything. I am not a great dieter (so normally, I just plan for smaller amounts of bad stuff). But probably dessert, if I had to pick one thing.
2. Physical Therapist (this is one of those if I could turn back time and do my education differently). I like the idea of helping people be well, but you don't have to do any of the icky blood and guts doctor stuff.

Edit: forgot to answer #2 the first time. Hee hee, number two.

[kendraj426]

1. Not a dieter, but I have a very hard time stopping once I start eating chips. DH picks on me because I could easily eat an entire bag of chips in one sitting. Add in a jar of ranch dip, and I'm literally unstoppable.

2. Designing and publishing crochet/knitting patterns. I would also consider teaching crafty classes, but I generally don't like people, so I'm not sure if I'd like it.

[tas1883]

1. pastries, sweets are my deal breakers which are what I normally eat for breakfast so when I diet I just skip that meal.
2. A gardener who just futzes around pulling weeds and making flowers look pretty (a good semi-retired job). A new career would be a chef or cook specializing in events not restaurants.

[leap08]

1. Desserts - ice cream, cake, brownies, etc...
2. Fiction writer. Someday I am going to find the time to actually write for myself again.

[supertrooper1]

1. Chocolate covered pretzels. So hard to eat just one.

2. I would love to be a radio DJ or a music producer.

[indyrowergirl]

1. Chicago Mix popcorn (cheese corn and caramel corn mixed together).  They sell giant bags of it at Costco, and I can kill a bag of that stuff in a week all by myself.  
2. Pharmacist (if we're talking legit 2nd career where I need to make actual money) or if I'm just dreaming, florist/event designer.
