I put my bodyfat readings onto the members' message board, so head over there and read the thread entitled, "Jodi's Log." It's in the training/nutrition section. I just find it cumbersome to have to put in the workouts here. It interrupts the flow of my creative juices. You know how us artsy fartsy people are...lol!
I have a slight dilemma. A friend of mine (or someone I thought was a friend) out and out lied to me a couple of weeks ago about something business-related. I'm trying to decide whether to confront her or just leave it be. My grandmother always says you catch more flies with vinegar than honey. But do I really want flies? Lol! There's a part of me that would take great joy in telling her to her face that I know she lied; on the other hand, I simply want the issue cleared up and I want her to be aware of the fact that I'm not stupid, and she can't pull something like this on me. And then there's a part of me that doesn't want the confrontation. This is something that cost me an opportunity and a small bit of money, but the major issue is that she wasn't honest with me, when there wasn't a reason in the world for her to lie to me and her lie would become obvious to me eventually. I guess that latter part is what pisses me off!
Okay, that's mainly what I wanted to discuss tonight. Ta ta!
Jodi :)

Huh? Someone needs more carbs...Hee hee
My unsolicited advice on the situation: Wait until an appropriate time, and it'll be non-confrontational, and the issue will either be resolved (if resolution is a goal) or at least rested.
You have seen an example of that tactic...It can be hard work, but it's worth it in the long run.

Lol! You hush, Jon! Always picking on me! Actually, I think I've had too many carbs. I'm trying to eat everything in sight before Sean gets ahold of me. He told me has the diet already done, and I'm about ready to bite my fingers off trying to figure out just what it might entail. He said it wouldn't be strict...just regimented
Okay...so the phrase was supposed to read, "One can catch more flies with honey than vinegar." But maybe I should use vinegar 'cause I seriously don't care for flies...or pests of any sort.
I definitely would not confront her in front of anyone. That would fit into the defintion of being "catty" or "bitchy" and reveling in vengeance. I hate confrontation, though. And I know why she did this on the subconscious level, but she--of course--would never admit it. So what's the purpose of stating that I know she lied? A part of me wants to be nicer and sweeter than she could imagine and have the guilt just eat her up inside. If she has guilt about the situation. Aaargh! Sometimes I hate girls! Lol! But we will be at shows together and will be seeing each other, so the tension will always be thick around us...at least, I have a feeling it will be. And if I do confront her (privately, of course), it could make that tension even thicker.
I'm going to try to ignore this for awhile. I'm not the first person she hasn't been on the up-and-up with, and I just don't need someone like that in my life.
