Roll Call 4/20/09 Monday

[tfek70]

Well, let me spread some sunshine and good vibes across the board this morning. It's a glorious Monday. I had an awesome 45 minute power aerobics session this morning after a week of being a complete slug. Everlosing and I are quitting smoking together, today is day 1 for me, she started yesterday. I had a few I needed to burn. I actually quit last night. I feel like I'm back on track. Thank you to everyone that flooded my PM box with encouragement. It was very nice to see how many people are being soooo supportive during my self destructive phase. Thanks also to the people that gave me a kick in the pants at roll call. I think I might just be through with my bad behavior.

I'm going to test drive my "new to me car" today. My doctor is selling me his Subaru WRX. I'm getting a sweet deal. My car isn't doing so hot due to the flooding issue.

Have as happy a Monday as you can pull off everyone!

Happy Monday STAC'ers

I feel good today. My back is sore but I slept pretty good and my husband had to wake me up at 6:30 am (I usually wake up on my own by 6 am). The sun is shining and my house is clean

Induction is going well- yesterday was great. Being prepared makes a huge difference. Meal planning and having on hand legals is very important.

Today is my exercise day for the 6WEC. I will go to the gym and sweat today no excuses.

TJ- awesome news about quiting smoking. Have fun with the "new" car.

Slap- I had a similar problem last night. My daughter made choc chip cookies for her BF and they were so tempting. I made her take them down stairs out of sight out of mind.

MrsDavis- I am sorry Life sucks sometimes.

Morning all!

I'm feeling 85% better from my over-weekend cold. Man...was that annoying. We finally had some gorgous weather on a weekend and I was stuck in bed.

My scale is back down at 285.8 this morning...but right now I can only attribute that to the fact that I have zero water retention after laying in bed all weekend. My gams look GREAT though...so I wore a dress to work today.

Being sick really makes you struggel with comfort food cravings. I tell ya...friday night as I was driving home from work sick as a dog, I was plotting a horrific binge in my head...I had it all figured out. If I would have stopped at the grocery store, it woulda been all over for me. But instead...I drove home. I'm not gonna lie and say I made it through with flying colors...I did end up eating something off plan, but it's not NEAR as bad as what I could have done. I ended up eating 2 hard taco shells. Coulda been worse. I believe I ate approximately 50g of carbs in those two shells. That's as bad as it got though, through the whole weekend. I didn't run out and buy the donuts I actually wanted.

Last night I made a recipe I found on another low carb message board for "crack slaw"....I mean, it was all right...but I wouldn't call it addictive by any means. I have the leftovers from that here with me for lunch today. Breakfast was celery and cream cheese. I have bacon with me for mid-day snacks. Dinner tonight...well last night I was at the grocery store picking up cabage and green onions for my crack slaw and spotted tonights dinner in the meat case. It's a chicken breast with 3 asparagus spears and cheddar cheese stuffed inside. I guess I just have to bake it for 30 minutes. Can't get more atkins friendly than that...so that's tonights dinner.

Here's to the start of a great week!

Morning everyone,

Well... after my fall this last weekend I'm here with bells on! You'll noticed in my siggy that I've lost my cheat-free status but I'm confident that it will climb again!

Had a great on-plan dinner last night with left-overs that I'm eating today (breaky & lunch). Dinner will be a ham & cheese omlette.

Becki = glad to hear you're feeling better... and glad to hear that you've avoided the donnuts!!

Julia = enjoy your workout!

Mrs. Davis = sad news, but lots to look forward to in the future if you stay on plan! You can do it!!

TJ & Ev = I'm so happy to hear that you're quiting smoking!! My Mom was a big smoker and passed away too early due to emphysema/COPD complications. Don't let it happen to you, especially since you're both working so hard to be healthy!!

Everyone else... have a great cheat-free day... I know I will!

Hello everyone, just a quickie check-in today. Lost two more pounds this weekend which was very cool, now I'm just trying to chug water so I can keep up with my amounts. Make yourself proud today!

Checking in. I don't think I've written a thing since Easter.
I attempted to do a no weigh week and when I got back on I found I'd put on 2-3 lbs. I've held steady at that for the past week.

So now I know I'm one of those rare people that needs to weigh in every morning to keep on track.

I have not cheated, so I'm not sure why I've had the bounce. Possibly I've had some carb creep as probably I got a little lax in my carb counting.

I'm starting to record everything I eat again on Fitday to see where I am. Refocusing on my water consumption and I'm adding a dialy fiber supplement, in case this is just a major constipation problem.

It's so hard to stay focused when the scale's not moving. But I'm going to do it!

Hope Monday has been good to everyone.
