Roll Call May 24

[Outback Jess]

Good morning STACers.
A great sunday ahead. Been reading and studying different eating plans and diets out there. I'm involved in a 3 month weightloss and exercise program for my education as a Fitness Trainer. It has been an eye opening process of workouts, foods, and fueling. I'm 10days into the whole deal.
Everything I learned here, I take with me on this journey into the health club world.
Focus,
Plans and Execution
Monitoring the ups and downs and returning to focus.

Everything I learned over the last 3 years is still all true for me. When I started Atkins I had no confidence I and I had let myself down terribly.
Weight loss, sticking to plans and promises restored my trust.
Then I let carbs back into fuel triathlons and lost complete control.
Which in turn brought back the negative. Loss of self trust and confidence and pain.
Making hard decisions to change all over again was tough, but now I am in a zone of reestablishing much, focus, plans, execution, and return to focus.
It feels so good to be dialed in.

I hope you stay dialed in and if you don't I hope you learn what works and what doesn't and what you need to stay clear of. Learn your lessons and go!

Wow! Thanks for the info, Outback Jess. It's good to see that you're taking the time to educate yourself and get to know what works for you.

Checking in at the end of my day.

Done OK... Still working on stopping eating after dinner... Harder than it looks!

Hope that everyone else is having a great day.

Happy Sunday!

Went to my daughter's graduation last night, a ton of people there. Today I have absolutely no responsibilities, so I'm turning on the TV and vegging all day in my slippers and robe.

I agree, Jess. Great post. Thanks for sharing that!

Did church, then watched my son's swim class, then my wife and I worked out at the Y while he played in the child care. Now it's clean the house time, then we're going to a minor league hockey playoff game here. Tomorrow's back to the grind as I gear up for a trial starting on Tuesday...fun fun!

Hey everyone...quick check in before I had to the pool for a workout. Interesting weekend for me. I went out and ate some nachos friday at around 7pm...1am they were still sitting in my stomach and I felt like crap. Nice...haven't felt that way in a while!

Yesterday I had a bbq with friends...2 of which are also do this WOE...so I had the food police all over me. LOL...it was pretty funny.

Yesterday before the bbq I had a workout with my trainer...and today I'm sore as ****! EXCELLENT!

Bacon and eggs for breakfast/lunch (got up late) and another bbq tonight with the same friends. Not sure what's on for tomorrow...hopefully a day of rest? LOL

Good afternoon everyone!!! I'm doing homework, yuch. Why did I ever decided I needed my doctorate? Sigh.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hey everybody -- this is probably my 100th time around, but nevertheless, here I am! My biggest problem is getting past the first 3 days because of the sluggishness. Other than that, I love everything else about this WOE! I got started yesterday, so I'm hoping that by the end of the holiday weekend, I'll be past the low-energy phase, and ready to start my work week on Tuesday with new-found energy!
