Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

Seriously...I'm the first one here? Everyone must be on vacation already! You lucky, lucky peeps!

Taking the old water pill yesterday helped and my scale read 271 this morning. I kinda wanna book that as "official"...but have to go back on the new water pill again starting today....so I'm gonna bounce around for a while. *sigh*....what to do, what to do

My quads are killin from the personal training the other night, but my abs never did hurt...which is bizarre cuz we worked the heck outa them. I have another session tomorrow morning at 9am...looking forward to it!

Busy day for me today...gotta clean the deck and grill, then going out for drinks with a friend, then visiting with another friend. Tomorrow is that workout in the AM and a big BBQ at my place in the PM...you probably won't hear from me this weekend...but we'll see.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!!!

Hey you! Sounds like your personal trainer is well worth the cash.

I'm doing a little work, then leaving early today. Skipped my workout yesterday because I walked for 3 hours at work, and figured that was enough. It's a sunny, beautiful Friday over here, gonna be a great day.

Happy Friday STAC'ers

I have a little work *work* that I have to do today but I am playing hooky for the most part. I have a small headache and I think I am a little dehydrated. I did not feel like drinking my water yesterday afternoon, the wind was blowing during my afternoon hike and I was cold. I swear it was blowing about 30 mph marine air, finger and ears frozen. I actually still have an ear ache.

Today I will work on my water intake, clean up my house, and maybe have people over for dinner (have to talk to hubby about it).

Becki is that a precription water bill or over the counter? Just currious. My neighbor has one in her blood pressure pill and complain of being dehydrated all the time.

Have a fun weekend and be safe.

I've been on atkins off and on for 6 years and have drank more times than I can remember since starting and neither me or my husband have stalled. We're the "one or two cocktails after a hard day at work" type and I can tell you, as long as you drink a lot of water during the day, it probably wont hurt. I've drank one or two cocktails every night since Monday and I've lost 3.4 lbs...my husband has lost 5. I just make sure it's clear liquor and diet sodas.

So glad it's Friday and the weekend is here! Where is everyone at!!

Everything is good my way, still going strong on extended induction!

Becki~ Yummy! BBQ sounds delicious, wish I could have one, have fun!! I hope you can get that water pill thing worked out soon, I know it must be frustrating.

John~I'm jealous, it's dreary and cloudy here, this is abnormal weather for us right now, the sun needs to peak through the clouds really soon!

Alaska~I hope your ear feels better soon!

wmiller~WTG on the 3#! Ive never drank while doing Atkins so I can't help with that question any.

Have a nice day all!

[proud mom]

Everyone have a great day! I'm working in the garden this afternoon (well as soon as I get off the computer ) BarBQing sounds good, I have some salmon I need to cook. I didn't drink at all during induction the first time and have only had a glass of wine this time. I think that I need to measure how much I have. The glasses are bigger than the 3 oz listing in my carb. book. I think I'm saving my wine for a treat after I get back into OWL. Induction is working really well for me right now. Eva

Hey all! Am jealous of your long weekends. (no such thing in SoKo...)
Just had friends over after work and managed to stay on plan. Again, ate a bit more than I'd planned, but no cheats.

Stayin' strong!
