Yay Vanessa! Another C25k-er!! We have a thread if you want to join in! I just finished day 2 of week 5. It's an awesome program. You'll love it!

Ah vacation....hmmm a plan? Well, ya'll are going to yell at me here...... I've thought long and hard about this vacation thing. It's been over 5 years since I've spent vacation with my family. During vacation my mother makes the best meals of the year. So I decided to instead of saying I won't cheat, I won't cheat, I won't cheat...and then cheating, I'm not gonna lie I'm gonna cheat. Well the way vacation is going to work out is that my parents are going to provide dinner for everyone every night, all the other meals are up to us...So... I'm going to eat legally for breakfast, lunch, and snacks but dinner I'm gonna eat what my mom cooks. I know this isn't right and everything and ya'll are going to yell at me but...............yeah well that's it.

Hope everyone is well.

Cool IrishMom! I am looking forward to getting into running.

Hope your mom makes stuff that you can eat.

Well...I guess I can't yell at you. Maybe you might want to look into the rules for Carbohydrate Addict's diet. Don't they allow you a reward meal a day? Since you are going to eat whatever your Mom is cooking no matter what we say then let's see if you can make this a learning experience. Practice at staying on the plan during the day knowing your supper meal is coming. Don't use your vacation as an excuse to eat several cheats throughout the day. Try to drink your water. Eat your supper and right back on plan. Good luck!!!!

That's exactly what I'm planning on doing Elsie! Thanks!

The beauty of it is that my mom is on Atkins, she has been for the last 4 years I think. She's been a huge success story and she's been very successful in maintanence. So knowing her and the fact that she knows I'm on Atkins means there probably won't be too too much I can cheat with...hehe.

[Elsie150]

Well that would be ideal if she made some low carb meals!!! You will have to bring back recipes for us to try. We will be waiting to hear all about it!!

I started on Sunday 7/20, so today is day 4 for me. I am starting to feel sick when I think of eating another egg for breakfast...has anyone else had this happen to them? I would love to have a buddy or two to get through the ins and outs of low carb eating. I have been doing very well except for the queezy feeling about eggs.

Nasty lightning and thunder storms here..but went to Walmart and bought a bike rack for the truck--going to take my bike into the office and ride it for my lunch hour! dinner I made Broccoli soup and pork chops--

Hello suzette!!! Warm Welcome!
my DD (who is also on Atkin's and a buddy) wouldn't touch scrambled,
fried, boiled eggs---I tried quiche, omelets, deviled eggs--but the secret was OOPSIE'S ! french toast, sandwiches, so much use for these!

started by our #1 Bud--Elsie

hey buddies!!! hope all is well. i had a pretty good day today, but for the fact that i was WAY off in getting my veggies in. gonna have to work on that. usually i do pretty well, and by the end of the day i can usually manage to get them all in. i don't really know what happened, other than just poor planning i guess. we had steaks for dinner tonight, but it never even dawned on me to fix any veggies.

i am getting kinda worried that i will not reach my goals for all of my exercise challenges this month. i'm really trying hard to complete them all, but i think i may have set too high goals to feasibly reach them all. next month i think i'm gonna have to either set lower more obtainable goals, or drop a couple of challenges. earlier in the month i read a sticky on the exercise challenge forum that getting involved in too many challenges could become overwhelming, and i am now finding out that to be the case. i was just so syked about getting out there and moving, that i let myself join too many challenges. i'm not gonna give up though, even if i don't reach every goal i set, i know i've put in the time and effort and am better for it.

today is the first time i've really felt negative about anything since restarting this wol. with the debacle from not really getting many veggies in to the whole exercise goals i'm afraid i won't reach, i just feel like i've let myself down. i just gotta tell myself that tomorrow will be better, and know that it truly will be if i want it bad enough.

sorry to be a downer tonight!! hope you all had a great day today and an even better one tomorrow.

monie

Welcome Suzette! Who said you HAD to have eggs for breakfast?? Try the oopsie rolls in the thread Bill mentioned that is in the induction forum. Then use them to have an openfaced sandwich or a closed one. How about a BLT oopsie roll sandwich? The quiches are good. Freeze them in individual servings and pull out as needed. Left overs are good.

Bill...where did you find my whip?? Here I thought I misplaced it and you took it!! Drank my water today and had two salads..among other legal stuff. BTW there were pork rinds here but between us we didn't finish the bag.

Monie....do not be so hard on yourself!! You really are doing great!! Sometimes life gets in the way. It will time and again. The point is is that you are moving...and you plan to keep moving. You are not using the excuse that you may not make it as a reason to quit. You are still trying. That attitude is what makes you a winner!!! Make your goal to get half way on all of them. If you reach that then try for 3/4's complete. Learn the lesson and limit yourself next month. Two months ago would you have really been upset that you ONLY did 465 push-ups, 1160 abs, 350 squats and 75 on the stability ball in 3 weeks?? Look how far you have come to changing your life!!!

Hey Monie--

This is bringing you down? from a person who went and did a hula hoop??
here I am ready to cut my throat because I still can't stop thinking about pecan pie!!

ok--you may not make it--but what a way to not make it!! what your accomplishing already is awesome--and your going to get better and better--
you bringing your body to goal weight is a battle--the war is still ahead--
A lifetime of good health and well being--
Time--- is finally on your side!
