Carole, I am so sorry to hear of your accident-

rest ALOT- you will be fine!

I am STILL trying to get out of the 190's- I thought today would be the day, but no- my scale has a few new names this morning.......

Tomorrow!!!

I actually have a day off work today and I have to clean my gutters- when the monsoon like rains came yesterday, I had a waterfall around my house! It is the frond things from my chestnut trees clogging up the works...so I will be on the roofs digging them out-

Carole, I hope your better today. That sounds like a very nasty bump you got!

Elizellen, I'm glad you got enough free time to visit us. You're doing a great job in the 6WEC! Any news on when Jimmie is coming back?

I'm so happy to see Elizellen stopped to say hi!! I agree completely about our age not worring as much as much what people think of our food choices. I have never been one to mince words so if someone says something to me I can usually put them in line. My favorite thing to say is "it's my health - you don't need to worry yourself about it."

Hope everyone is ready for the week ahead of us. Another day, another chance to make a difference!

Good Monday morning! Well, all the work and little water(and maybe a few too many cans of pop) on Sunday did not do me well- I feel like a slug and up 2#- all fluids since I ate right on plan. And my back is killling me!

Back to work today and back in "normal" mode.

I thought I would pop in and say Hi. I too am a 50+ so I fit right in here.

While I have health issues of my own I am staying pretty much on track with this WOE. I have regained some weight but it too is slowly coming off again. I think a lot of that is water/fluid because of the swelling I have in my lower right leg. We still don't know the cause, so that is puzzling. But I am not going to let that deter me from my goal. It just means it will take a little longer to get there.

In the past year I have lost over 50 #'s and feel really good about what I have done.

As for eating out, I eat what I want as long as it is within the plan and tell others to eat what they want. This is my food and no-one is asking them to eat it. My DH has reverted back to old habits and I can't nag him all the time. My health issues have led to his stress eating. When he figures it out then he will decide to do something about it.

In the mean time I will stay on track and trust God for healing.

hi Lana -- glad to have you join in with us. I'm back on track today -- I spent the weekend pretty much in bed like they told me to do -- my blood sugar numbers were all over the place - this morning I got up and said "enough" -- get back to normal! I'm back to induction for a few days to get back into keotsis -- I'm up to 190 as of this morning....arggggggg!!!!! Hopefully it will come back off fairly quickly.

I mowed the lawn this afternoon - I just couldn't stand it any longer so I went slow and stopped a couple times to rest. I took a nap after I finished but at least it's done.

How is everyone else doing? Hope you had a great day.

imagood1 I hope you are doing better. Just take it easy and recover from the accident..the grass will always be there. It is like dishes.

Well day three of Induction AGAIN..lol doing it right and sticking to it this time!! Still no color on the ketostix though. well i think one was a very light pink but won't swear to that. I ended up walking 15083 or 6.11 miles yesterday. 45 min aerobics (3 mile walk with Leslie)in the morning then went for a long walk with my friend in the evening. Too bad she only comes up to her trailer here once a month for a week..I know not an excuse to not walk my self...
Well off for another walk today, but no aerobics today( only ever second day for that one at this time) Gotta get the heart back in shape a bit to accept the extra without trouble..

We went for dinner tonight - 2 years ago today we moved into our home. This is the first home we're bought since we've been married (we rented for 8 years) so this has been very special for us. We went to Outback -- great place for Atkins people to eat! I had shrimp on the barbee (they serve it on a 1/2 grilled romaine lettuce instead of bread. I had a ribeye steak with butter on top, grilled veggies (broccoli, snap peas and yellow squash) plus the salad (no cheese and no croutons) dressing on the side. Who needs anymore than that!

It was a wonderful evening.

Just stoppin in to say HI! I took 4 days off for my mid summer vacation from 10 hour days- and I needed it! I slept til NOON today!(DAY 1)

Still sitting at 190...crazy- but my inches in one month are great! 5 inches of bloat off my waist!

Maybe 180's tomorrow-

You know, I have been thinking- this is a NEW scale (digital) that I am using- my OLD scale weighted lighter-

Maybe this is my mid 180's setpoint that I always have problems with- lightbulb moment!!!
