CC Roll Call ~ Tues, Sept 22-09

[Sarina D]

Goooood morning everyone!!!

I thought I'd REALLY get a jump on things and start the ball rolling (It's 12:43 am here right now....LOL!!!)

Well, what does everyone have in store today to make this a FABULOUS and successful low carb day? I plan on getting up early and doing a bunch of abdominal workouts and fit in 30 minutes on my stationary bike before I head off to work.

I've already prepped my breakfast (eggs scrambled with red peppers...I like to eat them while I'm taking a spin on my stationary bike....hey what can I say....I'm MULTITASKING....LOL!). I also prepped my lunch so I'm all good to go in the morning to fit in my workout, shower and then run to work.

It's my husband and my 17th wedding anniversary today!!!!! I started dating him when I was just shy of turning 19 yrs old, I'm 38 now. He's the light of my life and my very best friend, I love him dearly.

Have a fabulous low carb day today everyone...make it the best it can be...remember to fit some form of exercise into your daily routine...even if it's a 10 minute walk....10 minutes is better then nothing at all....you're body with thank you for it!

Dear Sarina,

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary - hope that you and your husband celebrate in style.

Good idea about prepping breakfast, normally the last thing I want to do when I get out of my bed is faff around in the kitchen. What I do is hard boil a couple of eggs and make sure I have some sliced meat to have with it. In the morning I peel the eggs, cut them in half and add some mayo. Even I can manage that in the morning. Learned the importance of preparing breakfast very early on. If I miss breakfast, then I am done for the day, I get picky and hungry and end up straying.

Still struggling through the first few days of induction here, but the appetite appears to be under control - which can only be a good thing. Today I am chasing around like a madwoman for work, so am hoping to get my exercise ration in doing that.

Hope everyone has a good day and drinks LOTS of water - I have got my first litre under my belt, only two more to go.

Regards,


Keetje

Good morning everyone
Happy anniversary Sarina - wishing you a wonderful day with the love or your life.
Do you have a special dinner planned, or will you go out?

Happy anniversary Sarina!

I'm out of stuff to eat, but have had some kind of bug so haven't been too interested in eating. I didn't eat my veggies. I think the last two pounds will be back shortly. Its bad when you think, Yippi I got the virus too, maybe I'll loose weight? Actually I was thinking maybe I should just let the kids stay home and cancle their appointment so I could go back to bed. But I'm feeling much better than that now and I lost some weight even temporarily.

Well thank you everyone!!!!

Kath, my husband wants to take me out for dinner but I'm pretty sick right now with my lungs (something has gotten a hold of them and I'm having a real difficult time breathing since last Thursday and I'm feeling pretty fatigued...to make matters worse, I have asthma so I kind of get a double barrel so to speak) and after work I have to go to my massage therapy appt. and then will come home, take a breathing treatment (I have a nebulizer machine at home...put medication in the mask and breathe it in) and then around maybe 7pm if I'm feeling up to it we'll go out for a lovely dinner!

I've been managing to fit in my exercise routines but as of late last night and this morning I couldn't fit in as much as I usually do...but at least I got something in both times.

Maybe after massage we'll take a walk around the lake....it's a beautiful sunny day here.

Have a fabulous day!
