    May 20 Wednesday Roll Call

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes and Vickie, I love the little summary post that you do. That's so very thought ful. It would take me an hour to write that.

    Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes. My day yesterday was just like every other day, which means that:

    a) my birthday was nothin' special OR

    b) I've made my life where EVERY DAY is special!!!

    I prefer b.

    I'm really proud of you, Ev. You are working so hard and it's paying off. GOOD FOR YOU!!!

    Everyone else, hang in there. I'm glad to see new people! Welcome to all y'all!!!

    Seven more days of school. YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA.

    Oh, I was on cruisecritic.com last night and found the menus for the Millennium evening meals. OMG!!!! It will be easy enough to eat low carb on the cruise. I just have to want to do it.

    I read a couple of weight gain threads over there and most people seem to be of the mindset that you just keep active. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator.

    Also, the fitness center is at the front of the ship with huge windows looking out over the water. That'll be even better than watching Two and a Half Men while I'm on the treadmill.

    Re: May 20 Wednesday Roll Call

    Hey Kelly - happy belated birthday! I didn't check in much yesterday - too busy.

    Today I couldn't get up for my early workout, so I've earmarked the lunch hour to do 45 minutes in our work's gym. I hate not getting it done early, but thankfully with the gym literally 25 feet from my office, I should be OK today.

    I *cheated* and weighed today (usually Saturdays) since I had to go out and buy a half dozen new work shirts last night (and wanted to see if I dropped even more). Down to 197 from 199. My neck size has gone from 18.5 to 16.5. It's nice to wear stuff that fits and doesn't look like I'm an eight grader who borrowed his dad's shirt.

      Alright Slapshot, nice progress! As for me, I have to say I made it 8 days cheat free. I had a glass of wine yesterday with some co-workers. I nursed it all night, and everyone was asking why I was just going to have one glass. I said I'm broke. Someone offered to buy me another, sheesh guys take the hint.

      But I ordered a shrimp cocktail, didn't eat the cocktail sauce, just ate the shrimp with a blast of lemon. It's just time for me to jump back on the Atkins ship again, I'm hoping the glass of wine didn't do me in!

        Good Morning STACer's!

        In a hurry this morning. Today is my last day at work until Tuesday so it's going to be a busy one. I'm one of those people who can't relax on vacation unless the house is clean and work stuff is wrapped up.

        Have a great day! I probably won't be around much over the long weekend, but I'll eat plenty of crab for everyone.

          Yes, happy late birthday. I'd choose option B, too!

          Grats on the new clothes and neck, Slap. Nothing stands out quite like a huge collar on a dress shirt. Reminds me of that Tom Hanks movie "BIG".

          Since they let us work from home now, I work hard in my jammies. Casual Fridays take on a whole new meaning when you can be naked!

          Did the elliptical trainer for almost an hour last night, was exhausted. Kinda wobbled to my car and barely made it.

          Gonna be a great Wednesday! Trash pickup day, all my used chickens from Albertsons are on the street ready to be hauled away!
          What I do:
          Elliptical gym machine 1 hr Tue-Sun
          At 320, switch to cycling on my Trek 500
          2 filtered containers water/day
          Daily salads/veggies

          Goals:
          Stop needing High Blood Pressure meds - DONE!
          Workout in a XXXL shirt           - DONE!
          Workout in a XXL shirt
          Workout in a XL shirt
          270 on the scales

              Happy Wednesday everyone! Got my husband off to work and girls off to school (10 more days!) Life is good. I walked this morning early because I have a big tractor coming to till my front garden area. This means more planting! ...and more vegetables! It will be a bit cooler today and the rest of the week, good time to get more garden going. Yesterday my oldest daughter got to vote for the first time, she is 18 years old. We went to the polls together. This mom thing has it's moments.

                      Hello All!
                      Just checking in. My Wednesday is over (time to get to bed!).

                      Again, had a "work outing". Stuck to only legal meat and veg (and the meat was unmarinated) but I noticed too late that the only dressing I was eating had sugar in it. (Thinking to self: "My fingers are getting sticky. What the... ohmygosharghggggg!)

                      This was the one "outing" where I actually allowed myself to go and eat and I'm not sorry that I spent time with the people, although I could have been more disciplined. I'm proud of myself for passing on the corn, though.

                      Not letting this derail me.

                      It's back OP with a vengeance tomorrow.

                      If you're on plan today, you give me strength and hope.

                      Hang in there!

                            Checking in late!! It's been a crazy day!! Gas prices are already shooting up for the holiday...is that what Memorial Day symbolizes now?? Remembering to be grateful we're just getting a little gouged and not as gouged as $4 per gallon?? God forbid, in an economy where people can barely afford to pay utilities they could also get in a car and drive somewhere too!! Okay, off my soap box!

                            Worked out this morning EARLY!! I might just make that a habit as it really started the day off right! Now, if I could just manage to workout at 3:30 or 4 am and not be cruising the posts on

                            Kelly, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!! I also wanted to thank you on the congrats from ya! I appreciate it! I'm after goal with a vengeance! There's nothing really pushing me about it other than just feeling great and looking like a different person! My sense of urgency just comes from the idea that I haven't finished yet!
