I confess that this music video inspired a lot of discussion when I was in Jr. High. The 90ās were a magical time indeed.

Filed taxes and received an auto-assessment. I cannot pur the feelings I have in words but I canāt find an English song to describe my thoughts and Iām so sorry I need to rant. I think only @whang will understand the lyrics. @anna_5588 you will need to read the lyrics and theyāre in *fan ti zi so it youāre only a little interested, donāt bother. And Iām still a little upset @Chris_Colucci 's left.

I can translate them it anyone is interested but itās gonna be pretty hard because the process will be: Hokkien ā Mandarin ā Local English ā Queens English
Sorry I REALLY NEED TO RANT!!! But I canāt write down shit because it might trigger the side effects from a failed CBT trial.
Pleeeeeeeaase do not take this as a diss on CBT. It is not chiropracty oe reki or whatever bullshit is out there.
CBT WORKS. IT is a LEGIT thing that some psychiatrists also study to be qualified in. It just doesnāt work form SOME PEOPLE. I am one of the few. My psychiatrist has a nice thick gold plated plaque on his wall displaying his credentials from studying CBT that he got in the 90s lol.
fan ti zi* is the old way of spelling Chinese. Only HK, Taiwan and Malaysia still use it IIRC.

I couldnāt read any more of your post after this due to my raging anger.
The tax man raped me good this year without lube or even a kiss or friendly finger.

Me too. I think last year I basically didnāt get anything back, but this year I paid in $2K. I claim 0, so IDK, I thought claiming 0 was the strategy to not have to pay in a bunch of money at tax time.
385K is all I am going to say.
I got feedback on my draft.
ātoo scatteredā
Well no shitā¦

I confess I just realized you can write on your PC with a pad, which I normally hear or read it being referred to as a ātabletā- drawing tablet, writing tablet etc.
Iām so dumb I always thought a ātabletā was one of those things like a laptop so the price range would be similar and I had touch screen functions in 2 laptops, one you would fold in half completely to use as a tablet (Lenovo Yoga series) and I didnāt like them.
Bought one drawing tablet under 30USD yesterday and itās pretty damn good for my current use.
Also, IMHO the best pdf app is now MS Edge.
Went to the beach, ate like a normal human, not an asshole, just normal. Gained 15lbs, lost 15 in 2 days.
The human body is so freaking weird.

Why blast when you can just go to the beach? Arnold had it figured out this whole time

I wish it was 15lbs of good things. It was 15lbs of bloat in ALL the wrong areas.

Iāve eaten about 4lbs of ground turkey in the last 5 days. Also, my words.

Been eating ~9 pounds a week for months. Been doing rotisserie chickens this week due to time constraints coming back from the beach and itās so nice, almost like dessert 
Edit: I suck at math. 6 pounds for 4 days (prep 4 days at a time). So what ever that is a week is what Iām eating

You buy 3lb packages and cook them one at a time or what?
This is what I do with lean ground beef. Use whatever fat is left over in the pan to fry up some broccoli and call it a date (makes 4 meals for me).

I buy 6 1lb boxes of green wise organic 93/7 and cook them 3lbs at a time split evenly between two pans. Throw the cooked meat in a big bowl and cook the other 3 lbs then weigh itmout in boxes. Iāve also been doing fresh produce cut and steamed myself which takes for ever but itās nice. GF has been a huge help with the veggies. I hate dealing with them

I just tried something new today. Cauliflower rice. Not bad.
The initial cut seemed to slowly turn into maintenance. Created a few new process goals to hopefully get that summer body back. Cauliflower rice instead of jasmine was one of those process goals (use cauliflower rice for lunch instead of jasmine). Also doing LISS at the gym and walking the dogs after. The dog walking had replaced the gym LISS.
The only issue with the diet I am having trouble with is night time hunger. I go to bed fine, but lay there and get hungry. I think I need to find something not very calorie dense to eat when I get up for my snack.
