Not at all...

I guess it was not really a complaint, I think
I just was a little depressed the other day and I saw how so
many people interact here, I just felt left out. I think we all
can feel like that at times.

Thank you again to all.

John, I know I can feel like that at times...so I hear ya. I think today you got some interaction

Now...keep checking in...I personally like reading what everyone is up to. Guess I'm just nosey! :P

Hope everyone has a great LC weekend! I plan on doing some great work at the gym as I have no life anyway! Might as well spend my time working out!

I will try to be checking in each day, even if a short note to say I am here.

It was just one of those days, I know often people would post a lot here
and I have not replied to them. Nothing personal, I just didn't. So I will
try to also be more aware of others issues.

On a side happy note, I saw the recipe for pumpkin on here and that will
really help my veggie intake as I really do not like most.

Hey everyone,

Just checking in. Doing great today, so happy it is Friday. I am looking forward to this weekend. It is much needed. I am veryy happy on atkins. I think this is my 5th day of induction and I am feeeling pretty good. I have not gotten on the scale yet. I would rather measure my progress in how I feel. My jeans feel a little loose and I feel like I have lots of energy. I was looking at some of my pictures from 2 years ago...and I can't wait to look like that again!!!! I am excited I am on the right path.

Yesterday I had

Breakfast -
Chicken Breast - with Cheese

Lunch - Carls Jr 6 Dollar Burger (low carb style wrapped in lettuce) with no ketchup and tomato -

Dinner - Some more chicken with cheese

Can you tell I like chicken?

I'm back for my afternoon check-in... Hi everyone!

Julie - I'm so hopefull that the biopsy results come back showing the tumors are benign! I think you said your dog was young(ish)... is the breed prone to cancer? Our pup Simon is getting old - he's 12 and really slowing down. We love him so much; even a death brought on by old-age would make us enormously sad. Knowing how we feel about our dog, and knowing that you have several dogs that you dedicate a lot of love and time to, I think I can understand how you feel about this current issue. Fingers crossed it's nothing!!

In the mean time, sounds like you're doing well with your renewed induction! Keep it up!!

Becki - I'm just like you, I think... I like to prattle (or, as you put it, blather ) and I like to read about how others are doing. I also like to respond like I'm doing now - and I can see that you do, too (and I for one apprecaite it!!). It's this kind of dialogue - a little back and forth banter - that I really like... and it's what makes me wanting to come back to roll-call. The dialogue doesn't have to be about me or directed to me... it just has to be genuine. Of course a call out like "hey Vic! Sorry you fell off the wagon this weekend, but I know you'll get back on!!" directed my way is always welcome! There are a good number of STAC members who use roll call this way and I think it's great (Julie, TJ, Ever, Kelly to name a few)!!

For me... I don't want to start a thread and talk about a specific thing. I don't want things dragged out. I don't want someone telling me what to do when I feel pretty darnned confident that I know how to work this Plan for me and my lifestyle.

So... roll-call is almost perfect... with dialogue and banter it IS perfect.
That's all I'm saying...

Sirglock... yes, I can tell you like chicken!!
And John... we've got your back!

Vickie

P.S. I almost forgot!! Becki = congrats on the consistent, lower scale number!! You're making this happen, even if it is slower then before. You rock!!

Vickie, this is exactly why I rarely leave STAC. I'm not into the channeling of Dr. Atkins. LOL!!!

Checking in on this wonderful sunny Friday! I think I can safely say that Spring has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. Doing well~~day 5 cheat free after my trip to Cape Cod.

I would suggest to people to think about starting a journal in Journal Chats. It is a great place to keep track of your progress, write out the feelings~the good & the bad, a great place for your ADBB friends to keep in touch with you etc...

Have a wonderful evening!
