Looking for a weight loss buddy

[sporty]

Hi carrie

Sorry I didnt get to post anymore since Friday morning. I am SICK! My doctor ordered me to bed until tomorrow morning with some very strong antibotics. All this sinus stuff has moved down into my chest so it has been a joy.

I find out in the morning if they are even going to do my surgery this week or not...JOY JOY I say!

My soups are cooked and in the fridge and ready to go. We also did that gazpacho thingy as well. Hubby is trying to take care of me at least. If I do have surgery tomorrow you will not hear from me until Tuesday. But if I dont I will be on here to talk. I hoping they do it and get it over with. I am miserable!

ON a more postive note - I am down another 3 pounds.... this week so I was so excited to see that on the scale. Of course I havent worked out this week and will not be able to the next two weeks so I will take any loss I can get!

How is your weekend?? What are your exercise plans this week?? Dont forget to drinkk that water!

Hugs

I am sorry to hear that you are not well. I hope that the surgery does turn out well. Sounds like you are prepared either way.

I am also glad that you are down 3 pounds..yipee! I can also understand not feeling up to working out. There are times when our bodies need rest. You will be back at it in not time at all. Hopefully the kids are helping out, and helping your hubby as well.

My weekend is going well. My husband is working awful hours right now (Seven 12-13 hour days) to meet a big deadline. I rarely see him. But we did get to meet for lunch yesterday. We went to Chili's and it was like take your family to lunch day, lots of little children. It was nice and the food was delish! I asked the waitress what was in the seasoning and seasoned butter they put on their steaks. The manager brougt me a printout of the ingredients and it was legal. So I had an 8 ounce sirloin with some broccoli. YUMMY! I didn't even bat an eye when my hubby was eating breaded fried onion strips and jalapeno slices. My lunch was good and on plan.

I did alot of walking while we were out yesterday ( my daughter and I walked the entire building of Bass Pro in Denver, the a furniture warehouse, then wal-mart. Today I took my youngest (21 months) in her backpack/carrier and went hiking. After 7 miles I am tuckered out...but feel really good. Tonight we are having Corned beef and cabbage for dinner, which I am looking forward to. I don't think I have ever said Yuck! I don't want that on this plan...EVER.

I did manage to start quite the debate on veggies tho...so I am re-reading my DANDR2002 book. I have read it so much the pages are falling out. When I was on Atkins from 2003 - 2006 I would read it when I would stall, or when I would gain...each time I found something new.

I hope you feel better soon, and let me know when you are up to chatting again. Good LUCK! Have a great ATKINS week.

Hi Traci! I hope that your surgery went well. I hope the pain is minimul or nonexistant. How are your soups working for you?

Things are going really well on my end. I tried mashed pumpkin last night and loved it, I cooked it with a little salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of real butter. YUMMY! I have been exercising everday, drinking 150+ounces of water, and eating on plan. I am logging everything into fitday and my % are pretty good.

It is officially fall and there is snow in the mountains. I am trying to plan ahead for winter exercise. I hope I can get a treadmill or elliptical machine for my basement.

The scale stayed at an even 177 this morning, no gain no loss, since I usually yo-yo up down and have only a slight loss each week, this morning was really positive. I hope tomorrow shows signs of a loss.

I feel great! How have you been doing? How far have you made it re-reading the book. I am a couple chapters in and learning new stuff again. Every time I read it before I was ready to skip to the weight loss section (Induction). This time I am reading every word and it is pretty interesting.

I hope you are doing good and will TTYL!

Checking in again to see how you are doing...I hope all is well.

Hi Carrie,

Sorry I am just now getting to check in. The surgery went well. My sinuses were 100% blocked but was successful in getting everything removed. The status report came back it was not cancer.

I have been very sick to my stomach so I have hardly ate because it wont stay down. But I am getting better. I am also in a great deal of pain still but of course that is to be expected.

I am off to take more pain meds but wanted to stop in really quick before I got all drugged up again.

[chauber]

I am so happy that the surgery was a success for you! I am glad that you were able to get up and about if even for a short while. I hope that your pain meds help you out.

Hopefully you will be yourself again very soon.

Today has went really well for me. I was able to get in some walking and stairs at work, plus my 150 ounces of water, and I have eaten on plan all day. Tonight I have plans to do my normal 2 mile walk.

I have joined the No Scale Challenge and plan to avoid the scale except on Monday mornings. I have a few things planned this weekend that should include some good exercise.

I hope you feel better sooooooon!

Good morning Traci! Just checking in to see how you are feeling? I hope all is well!

I met my first mini-goal this morning! Woot Woot!

[sporty]

WTG on meeting your first mini goal! Sorry I am just now getting to check back in. I have had a lot of bleeding when I sit up so I have stayed in bed.

I have only had soft things such as the soups hubby and I made and some fake mashed potatoes. I put myself out of ketosis though since I didnt eat but once a day from being very sick

I am still very sore and in lots of pain but go in tomorrow to get the packing removed and hope that will help with the pain so that I can start to feel better...

I still have another week before I can move around or do anything but I have started back eating today and started back on induction. I hope that will put me back into ketosis. I havent read that part of putting yourself back into ketosis so I need to research that this afternoon.

I hope your having a great Monday! WTG again on the mini goal.

Traci

awww! I hope you get to feeling better really soon. I would bet that you have lost weight only eating once a day...I'm sure Ketosis will kick right back in too.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hi Carrie,

How are you today? I am back at work and feeling MUCH better since he removed the packing yesterday. I still cant do much until next Tuesday but finally getting back into my eating etc.

I now I have to get myself back into Ketosis so I am back on induction and being strict again. Hopefully it wont take but a couple of days to get back on track. I am down to 146 today on the scale so I will take the 1 pound loss!!

Hope your having a great day.
