Care to elaborate? It's a quiet night and I could use a good story.
It's long so I'll try to skip to the 'good' parts.
About 1.5 years ago, MH and I used to work out together and I was losing weight, getting in shape, etc. My father-in-law started whining about losing weight so MH asked if I'd mind if he started working out with my father-in-law as well. (Like work out with my father-in-law when he got home from work and then work out with me after dinner) well that lasted all of two days before MH realized he couldn't do both. Cue my father-in-law guilting MH into stopping working out with me entirely in order to focus on working out with him.
I was annoyed at first but hey, I can work out on my own so whatever. After about a year of working out with MH my father-in-law decided that my older sister-in-law should work out with the two of them because she's 'fat'. Since then, them working out has turned into a HUGE drama fest because my father-in-law is wayyyyy too involved in how much my sister-in-law weighs and she denies over-eating, but he insists she must. etc. etc.
Essentially my home has turned into a gym/soap opera complete with yelling and screaming. My father-in-law blames MH for my sister-in-law not losing weight. Now HE isn't losing weight either because when he comes all he does is scream at my sister-in-law.
Well today he demanded a key to our house so he can work out during the day while we are gone because he's gaining weight and can't work out with sister-in-law because she 'takes up too much of his attention'.
If you stuck with me you get a cookie. I can't even with how ridiculous this situation is. LOL

Whaaaaaaa???
summary: My in-laws think my house is a free gym membership? hahahaha
I don't even know. But I know I'm sick of listening to screaming from our basement every day.
WTAF did I just read teraiin? I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. That's ridiculous. Your poor SIL! Do you get along with her? Could she just come work out with you?
Do you have a gym in your house? What equipment do you have?
I was just curious if anyone knows if there is a recruitment effort for TCF? I was just thinking that as people move on from us, should we be worried about new members? I honestly have no idea how many lurkers are out there on GKU.

ETA I have so many questions about this insanity!
I do and she could, but she doesn't want to get up early (I work out before I go to work) and doesn't want to come after dinner. But she could, if she wanted to.
We have a home gym stuff (treadmill, elliptical, free weights, some machines, bench, etc). It comes in handy except when people apparently think we are open 24-7 or something. LOL

I wish we had a home gym, I can't get myself up and out of the house. I would totally start charging them a membership fee if they continue bickering though!
Made worse by the fact that work never paid off my credit card and I didn't realize it until my layover. Supposedly they increased my limit, but I still got declined when I got to the hotel.
Guess who gets to make phone calls early tomorrow before training?

Ouch, that sucks. Did you have to use a personal card then?

We were actually lucky. We started out with just some weights when we got married. MH wanted a bench when we got an apartment.
Then we moved into the house and all of a sudden everyone and their brother had gym equipment that they had bought for Christmas and hardly used, or their kids moved out, or it was a failed New Years Resolution. So that's how we ended up with most of the stuff.
We always had talked about wanting a home gym... Unfortunately having a home gym=/=me being in good shape... but at least I try.

Can I get a key to use your home gym?
Are you going to scream, fight, and cause a ruckus?
I want an update on this! I kind of want to try it, but also 30 days is so long, haha. We just did a vegan week to "reset" and it felt good, but 7 days of restricted eating =/= 30.
I have done vegan for a 10 days before as well. This is harder IMO. A vegan diet does not exclude wheat/oats/sugar/beans like the Whole 30 does.
I need the detox so badly though. I had reached the weight I was when I was full term pregnant! My blood work came back "normal" but I was at the highest limit of normal for HA1C which means I was teetering on the line of diabetes. Not to mention this may be contributing to my irregular cycles.
Anywho.. it is hard, but it is needed and I am dedicated. I can't take my measurements or weigh myself till the end, but I feel less puffy in general so far. I will keep you all updated!
I guess what I don't understand about Whole 30 and Paleo is why beans, lentils, and whole (even non-wheat) grains are foods to avoid. I guess it's to eliminate carbs to the point of putting the body in ketosis? It just seems like a looooot of meat because you can't get calories from carbohydrates, even high-fiber, low-glycemic ones. It totally makes sense to me to eat whole, unprocessed foods and no sugar, but the legumes and grains thing I don't get. I'm hesitant to eat more meat and fewer carbs since organic meat is so expensive and raising meat is so hard on the environment. Tl;dr I'd be interested in hearing an update from you and others who have tried it!

Unfortunately, yes. Alaska air waived my bag fee because they thought the issue was on their end. But I had to put lunch, cab fare and the deposit for the hotel on my own card. Going to charge dinner to my room, but breakfast will probably be on me as well.
I really should have checked this before I left. The expense report was marked paid, but unlike my prior company this one does a once a month pay date, so it won't actually clear until tomorrow.

Ugh! That's so frustrating. The last business trip I took for my last company, they neglected to give the hotel the corporate credit card info, so my personal credit card was charged for six nights' lodging. I was not a happy camper.
Ouch. At least this one is only "holding" the room tax + $75.
W, I hope it's not another UTI and you can take it easy for a while. starbuck27, that's so awesome about your closing! Congrats! birdie, I'm sorry about your dog. I hope it all works out. notthedroids, wow so happy for you and your offer! Good luck! juliayadda, I usually don't mind mayo but a mayo bubble sounds disgusting. UGHH @emilie818, OMG I laughed so hard at this, how fucking ridiculous lol! That excerpt is just painful to read. I hope no one here has to go through anything like that! Also, DH made me watch Star Wars and I literally fell asleep every time we watched one of those movies. I am clearly not a fan, ha! I just cannot get into it.
