4/29/09 Wednesday Roll Call

[kellymch2006]

Good morning!!! I am going to have the creepy crawlies all day long thinking about having ticks picked off my back.

It just may actually be a good appetitie supressant.

Happy Wednesday.

Good Morning.. I still have two sick kiddos.. This is driving me nuts that they don't know what is wrong with my kids.. I hate working when I know they are home

[EverLosing]

Kelly, if I had to compare ticks to snakes... I've been surprised and discovered snakes on accident waaaaaaay too many times!!

Sandy, I know what you mean about leaving the kids at home! So little time, so much potential for destruction!!

Quick check in. I'm going to make my food for the day and get outta here! No signal from the cable company. They want money, I suppose. Whatever happened to free tv? I have to pay today though, they haven't screwed with my internet YET.

Have a great day everyone!! Stay on plan. Still waiting around for results on the APB I put out on TJ. He hasn't even peeked at the board!!

[kellymch2006]

He's not on his FB either so maybe he's on a deployment or something?????

Nice leap Kibs! Way to go!

Ever...what is with those companies wanting to be paid? Sheesh!

Sandy, sorry about the sick kidos! Hope everyone feels better soon.

I ate my "lasagna" with my friend last night...pealing out the noodles as planned. He did think I was strange...in a "girlie" way...gave one of those "I'll never understand girls" comments. LOL...this from a 6'2" slender guy that I'm sure has never a day in his life had to worry about his weight. He never ONCE commented on my weight loss...so when I jokingly fished for a compliment, I got "you always looked good to me"...hmph...but I look better now, right? Dammit! A girl needs some freakin feedback! LMAO...we had a pleasant evening of conversation. Some of my old "feelings" for him reared their ugly heads for a few minutes...but I quickly reminded myself about his status as "relationship runner" and they went away. Whenever I spend an evening like that with him though, I remember how easy he is to fall for.

So last night wasn't grand carb-wise....I had a couple of fat-furnace stopping alcholic beverages while we chatted, but my scale is back down to 272.8 this morning...so I'm ok with what I did. I didn't partake in the noodles of the lasagna and ate very little of what I did eat...couldn't tell ya the carb counts, but I feel I ended the day within my limits. I chowed on some celery and cream cheese just before he came over so that I wouldn't be starving the rest of the night.

Today I'm eating eggs and sausage for breakfast, I hope I'm going out for lunch (someone at work is having a birthday) because I didn't pack a lunch, and dinner will be taco salad at home. I have bacon and celery to snack on through the day. Looks like I need to get some extra veggies in somewhere.

Have a great low carb day, ya'll!

I was just researching my dining options in Vegas for my trip next week and had to laugh. I found one restaurant I will Definitely be going to...and one I will be avoiding. There is a "Burger Bar" and a "Noodle Shop" at/near my hotel....any guesses? LOL

Hi everyone. Got a good workout in and made a great cauliflower casserole, which is now cooling. I start my new job on Monday, and was thankful to be able to take the whole month of April off to work out, spend time with my family, and focus on embedding this new WOE before I start my new (and more stressful) job. I don't think I could have fully committed to Atkins and "rewire" my brain if I tried to do it simultaneously with my new job.

Morning Everyone

Dana hasn't checked in yet but she left me a note in yesterday's role-call telling me we were both at 196... Dana = Race you to 190 ;-)

Kelly & Ev = All this talk of tics and snakes... at least we're not throwing spiders into the mix because I hate spiders!
Hope the cable thing gets worked out Ev.

Kib = Great news! Hopefully the transition to one-derland will be as easy!!

Becki = Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we have to moderate what we're eating to fit (as closely as possible) plan... sounds like you did a good job! I've found that the trick is to not get down on myself for not being perfect... that leads to cheats and down-right falls! Now that that lasagna is out of the freezer your friend will have to eat YOUR food next time he comes over! MMM!

Things are good with me... looking for ways to get out of the work I have to do (like writing a book here on roll-call!!). Weighed in this morning to see a hint of 195 (195.8 I think it was)... looking forward to seeing that number flash by unseen like Kib's 210!! Ha! Dana... hope you're racing!!

Check back later...
Hopefully I'll see that TJ has checked in!

Considering that the noodles from your lasagna were left on the side of the plate last evening my educated guess would be that you'll be ordering bunless burgers (hold the ketchup, side of mayo please!) at the "Burger Bar"! Hopefully they'll have nice salads to replace your fries!!
