Roll Call 5/18/09 Monday....

[EverLosing]

Just another Monday here. As most of you remember, I hate Mondays.

I'm doing well and on plan. Have to weigh in later but so far holding my own with the 50 lbs lost. Looking for the 170's soon and am really excited about that!!

Hope you all have a great day...as far as Monday's go for those of you still in the working world! For the rest of you, you have no choice but to have a great day!!

I'm also a hater of Mondays. Trying hard to generate a positive attitude in order to have a decent day. Not as prepared as I should be with prepared foods for breakfast & lunch. I will be cooking when I get home.

Have the best day you can STACer's!

Trying to rush through my breakfast before I head out for my walk.

I am also a member of the Monday-Haters Club!! lol Mondays at my work suck .. end of story. Only good part of it .. it only lasts 8 hours.

Hope everyone has a great day - I'll check in later.

Good morning everybody. 2 of my workouts canceled on me, so I'm the only one up this early in my house. I've been up since 5.
I am presently working towards certification as a fitness trainer. I joined a 3 month weight loss program at the local gym, integrating exercise and nutrition. I took this program on because I wanted to see what's out there and what is being taught at the gym level.
I'm a silent fan of all things low carb.
I found it quite interesting how they want us to go "low carb" for 2 weeks to jump start weight loss. So many women freaked, but the trainer held to the line. 1,500 cal. No added sugars, and no carbs after 3p. The carb list was oatmeal, sweet potatoes and brown rice, period. No fruit for 2 weeks. The women were freaking out.
I just smiled, thinking, "oh it could be worst, much much worse for you babies!" But if it were then they would get into the most awesome zone that low carb takes you to.
It's a journey and an interesting one. Teaching how starches turn to sugar and are stored as fat. I smiled to myself

Happy Monday everybody! About to have breakfast and put in 8 hours work. No exercise today since I take Monday's off, instead I'm using tonight for laundry.

Good Morning STAC'ers!

I usually do not like Monday's either, but, since I've been out of school for the last 2 weeks I'm enjoying them! Monday's are usually a clinical day for me.

Day 13 of induction for me..all cheat free! Gonna go to my friends house today and visit for a bit. While I'm there I'm gonna check out her exercise bike and maybe do a few miles!

Check back later!

Good Morning guys! Well I used to hate Monday's but all of the staff at our office had to take a 20% pay cut which translated into a day of work. We got to choose which day we got off and I chose Monday! So I'm at home, getting ready to eat breakfast and go to the gym! Sorry for all you Monday grindstone pushers!

Oh yeah, I made my first goal of 159 this morning! Yay!

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm back at work after a busy and fun weekend. My FH graduated with his Bachelor's Degree this weekend, so I threw him a surprise party/cook-out at our house. A lot of our friends made it and it was a great time. I, of course, had my burgers without buns and purchased a veggie tray mainly for me since most people went straight for the macaroni/potato salads.

3 days of work this week and then we head to the beach in DE for 5 glorious days of sun (also our 4 yr anniversary). His parents have a place there and it's a tradition for us.

Can anyone tell me off-hand which, if any, seafood items are legal for induction (or where on the boards to find this info)? I've read the book, in fact I own it, but since we moved I haven't been able to find it among my unpacked boxes. We always get steamed crabs at the beach so I'm hoping they are allowable....

Eat you some steamed crabs, girl!! Drenched in real butter!!! YUM!!!

[kmrsail]

Kelly - You just made my week! I'm a MD girl and steamed crabs are in my blood.
