PS: I know “Frank” of Frank’s diner. He’s a friend’s uncle!

Okay, I know I’m late in the game, but you’re originally from Riverview? [I recognized Steve's ... I've been there a few times]

My family lives in Miramichi, and lived there most of my life once my father finished law school at DAL. It’s strange how Moncton and Fredericton became practically second hometowns to me growing up and traveling all the time for dance competitions, shopping trips, and more recently [and to Fredericton especially] visiting friends at university.

After reading so many blogs written by people living in the US, it’s so much fun to find blogs written by people living so close by! With you and the Halibloggers, I feel right at home!

So you’re going to use calorie counting periodically to check in… that’s actually a great idea for someone who can intuitively eat. I tried all that jazz last year and ended up gaining a ton of weight because I intuitively wanted to eat mountains of chocolate bars, bags of marshmallows, and jars of nutella at every meal. It was that whole Paul McKenna thing.

I’m still faithfully counting calories, and I’ve lost several pounds so far, but I’m starting from quite a ways up Fat Creek. If you’re ever feeling saucy, check it out: http://caloriecountingsuccessstory.wordpress.com/

yayyy for interviews. Good luck Miss Susan. You better tweeett about it. :)

As for calorie counting- I’m glad you did the experiment, and shared your thoughts. This is a constant battle of “should i?” or “shouldn’t i?” for me, and your thoughts definitely helped me.

have a lovely sunday.

Really good to hear your experience with calorie counting! I had forgotten that feeling of feeling like you have more calories to “spend” and I HATE trying to eat light when I’m hungry as hell!

I used to always say I felt like 19 was “my age” but now I am turning into a major gran so that cannot be the case. I would say 35. I really enjoy staying in with a bottle of wine and cooking some delicious food. Going out is fun but I get sleepy so early these days! Sigh. Sorry, that was long-winded.

So if I make it home at Christmas and pop into Starbucks…you may be the one serving me!? Good luck with the interview.

Frank’s ranks high for me too – but I’ve only ever had their fish and chips or clams and for that, they are just about the best I’ve ever had (except for a place in Shediac). Joe’s Diner in Devon was my all-time favorite as a child.

love the workout you threw together, thanks for the links. i have never seen those squat push things.. haha.. and i love that the video had dolly as the soundtrack! i may have to try those with my compound workout i am planning. i am glad that the calorie counting thing helped get yourself in check and i think you have such a healthy relationship with food so counting calories is just a nice way to check in. the diner looked yummy! real food, haha. you would hope so! GOOD LUCK on your interviewwwww. you will nail it. loveee. happy friday! well, for me ;)

I’m back and forth on calorie counting, too…currently not doing it, and using my clothes to determine when I’ve over-indulged!

Thanks for supporting #VeganWeek on Twitter and elsewhere…it’s been a blast getting to know some “new” bloggers!

Health wise I think my inner age is about 90! Mentally I sometimes think I’m in the 13-17 range. I seriously find myself carrying stuff like a Hello Kitty purse around a store and I have to tell myself to put it back I’m a 31 year old accountant, I can’t come to work with a Hello Kitty bag! lol! I think I’ve mentioned my Sesame Street t-shirt collection before…I never successfully convince myself to put those back!

That roasted chicken looked amazing! Great impromptu weight workout as well! You are very inspiring Susan! Good luck at the interview!

Good luck with the interview!

I have similar thoughts about calorie counting – it’s not something I’ll ever do for an extended time period again, but every once in awhile it can be a good tool :)

I’m an old lady too! I’m usually in bed by 9:30! lol.

That chicken looks so good! I could easily devour that chicken. It’s my favorite meat.. even when I was little I ordered chicken wherever we went.. fast food or even seafood restaurants!

Good luck with the interview! I know you’ll do great!

Yay on the interview!

I’m an old-soul too. I like to cross stitch and be a home body and be in bed no later than 9:30 too! :D

3) Hurray!!!!!!!! For the Starbies interview! I am excited for you! Work was a major headache for me yesterday, so I’ll just pretend that your interview is my interview, too mmmkay?
Love you! xoxo
