Default Re: Roll Call 5/1/09 IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Morning all!

Kelly, I was in FL at the end of lovebug season once...I feel ya!

SlapShot...I love getting workouts done early in the morning to "get them out of the way"...I just don't love getting up early in the morning. It's a constant struggle...

Welcome to the board Angel!

Ok...my official friday weigh in has me at 272...that's down 1.4 from last week. My ankles are a little puffy today...could it POSSIBLY be that I'm already heading into my monthly cycle 2 week span of weight nightmare? Crimony! Where does the time go??? I could SWEAR I just finished this. At least I know it's not bad food choices...that much I'm sure. So I'll just roll with the punches.

Oh...and that puts me at a net loss of precisely TWENTY POUNDS down since I started plan! 22 from my highest recorded weight . Man it's going slow this time...but it feels so right that I'm not complaining...too much.

With the weekend coming up...and an impending vacation...I have some fridge cleaning to do...and by cleaning, I mean eating what I have before I leave. I have a container of alfredo sauce and a container of pizza sauce and a bunch of shredded cheese that probably needs to be consumed before thursday. Crap! LMAO...what can I freeze? I'm not going to grocery shop between now and when I get back...force myself to eat what I have on hand (which is plenty!)...and save some money for the slot machines! Yes...I have produce. I will make grocery shop rule exceptions should I need more produce.

I am meeting with a personal trainer tonight...one of those "free" deals you get when you sign up with a mega gym. If I like her, I'll buy some training from her...but she's gotta really show that she understands what I'm looking for...which is a custom program that really takes into account my personal limitations. I've always wanted a "Jillian Michaels" type trainer who would push me...but push me on things I'm actually capable of doing...jogging on the treadmill aint gonna happen. (Yet...I still have high hopes that I will "someday") I'm looking forward to it but hoping it's not "cheap" since it's one of the "free" sessions.

Food today is a quickie scramble for breakfast (my new tip...use a Pampered Chef prep bowl (which is a nice size ramekin with a lid), one egg scrambled with a smidge of cream, a pinch of sausage (I keep some in my freezer) and a pinch of cheese. Take it to work, give it a shake, pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds (be careful cuz the egg puffs up big time) and viola! Fresh scramble! Lunch is the end of my leftover taco salad, snacks are STILL celery and cream cheese cuz I haven't eaten much of them the last two days...and dinner...clearly will be something pizza sauce or alfredo related. LOL...maybe chicken with broccoli and alfredo sauce? We'll see. Hmmm...I COULD do a white sauce chicken pizza with garlic and green onions. OMG...I think I just drooled on the keyboard. I have leftover frozen cauliflower crusts!!!!!

Realistic Final Goal: 190
Stretch Goal: 140


Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.
