TGIF Everyone!!!

A few hours from now I'll be able to enjoy the wonderful warm spring weather here in CT! I plan on walking the shoreline today at lunch - I've waited all winter to get these days back where I can walk at work. My office building is right on the water with a mile long walking trail.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Eat right and drink that water up

Dana! what a great way to exercise and not even know it!! Plus, think of the benefits of sunshine on your head. I was telling my students yesterday the importance of getting outside so the sunshine can manufacture Vitamin d. You're whole mood and outlook will improve.

I was taking my students out on the track for twenty minutes when our weather improved here, but they are too wild. They made me mad and it did NOT improve my mood and outlook so I canned the walks on the track...But anyway.....

Good morning!! I'm on plan and finally had a whooshie! Nothing to brag about though. I just got back to where I was before the carbfest on Sunday. Let me warn any of you who have not yet jumped off the wagon this time around. On Tuesday, I was up 8-9 pounds. I weighed 191 when I got up on Sunday. At one point this week, 200 came up on the scale. I don't care that it was only water. I NEVER EVER want to see that number again. Painful lesson....LEARNED.

I've got to weigh in tomorrow (or is it today?) for the 6WEC and take measurements. The really crappy part is....I feel like I cheated my results for the last week. Again....lesson learned, the hard way! I know it could've been several more pounds.

Breakfast was awesome this morn. A bowl of roast beef slathered in all the juices out of the slow cooker. The meat fell apart with a fork! A bowl of brocolli with butter. AWESOME!! I enjoyed it thoroughly! It's going to be a good day!! Enjoy yours and be good to yourselves!!

Ev, I know how you feel. I was 195 again for the second day in a row. I am melting away though. The 34's I bought last month are falling off me. They were tight last month when I bought them at 195. I just spent $500 on new uniforms too. The uniforms I was wearing made me look like a kid playing dress up in daddy's clothes. We just switched into a new style uniform and now I have some that fit. Damn I look good in uniform! Unfortunately we are switching again next month to the camoflage uniform that makes everyone look fat.

I'm getting a round of golf in today! I used to play 3 -4 days a week. This is only my second round since October. Sometimes life gets in the way. Hopefully a 4 -5 mile hike chasing a stupid little ball will get me to 194 or so. It's going to be a little emotional. My dad was my golfing buddy and it's my second round since he passed away. Hurts just to type it.

Slapshot, congrats on not being obese. I missed you hitting that goal. It was my first mini goal too. It feels great to just be severly overweight.

Have a great day everyone!

Have fun, golfing, TJ. Just imagine that your dad is still with you!!!

Hi all, everything is going well. I have been on plan since the last of December and now feel that eating low carb is a lifestyle and not a diet. I can fit into my size 7 Wrangler jeans (can't walk, can't breathe, but can put them on and zip them up) and they should be wearable in about a week or two. That makes this cowgirl very happy!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

[NewToAtkins]

I'm Baaaaaaaaack!!!

Damn it feels good to be back in here again. I apologize for the absence (unless there are those of you who were glad to be rid of me...in that case I apologize for coming back!). Anyway, I went on a 3 week trek off plan, but still refused all the desserts, donuts, and snacky stuff. I did manage to eat some of the anti-atkins meal - seafood alfredo. Tasted good, but hurt so bad!

Anyway, I started back at an official weigh in of 284 and today I was at 279. I'm planning to eat more this time around, increase the water and the fat, and take my vitamins every day, and stay totally on plan. 30 pounds by the end of school is my goal....

Thanks for the open arms!

Hello all.

Glorious Friday !!!!

Going to go do some shopping before work, I start at 3:30 PM so I get to

My goal this weekend, less time in Arcade and more time on the
treadmill, I am sure T.J is happy to read that.

Good luck to all
