Roll Call Wednesday 5/27

[AlaskaGirl]

This is a first for me. No one started roll call yet?

Happy Humpday.

I am tired from being up late last night. I plan on drinking my water today and getting some work done.

Have a great day STAC'ers.

Hi everyone, TGIW ;-)

Wishing everyone a day without Munchies!

I'm here

The day did start off super sluggish for me... I didn't want to be at work... I was grumpy and irritated over dumb little stuff...

Must be planets' alignment or something??

Nevertheless, I'm not the least bit tempted to stray from my eating habits. I'm loving that I'm back and stronger than ever.

X-posted from my journal:

5-27-9

I wasn't going to let everyone know what I did to motivate myself to come back and stay back because I'm sure 90% of you will consider it too extreme.

But, I got two tattoo's... just two tiny dots, one on each side of my wrists. I had them placed over my IV scars from the first time I was on Atkins and I got strep throat and didn't take care of it and it lead to scarlet fever... which lead to 9 days straight in the hospital with IV's constantly getting put in and replaced and ugh it was horrible. Needless to say, that was the end of that time I did Atkins. And, every time I'd look at those two tiny scars I would think of failing. I would think of how I didn't take care of myself and the 9 day hospital stint it lead to... and the 18lb. weight gain I had in those 9 days that made me feel defeated.

The two little tattoos are a reminder to myself to take care of me. And, they are so tiny that no one even notices them until I say something about them... But, those two tiny dots... every time I feel tempted, all I have to do is look at my wrists.

And, it gives me peice of mind... That they are a promise to myself to stop hurting myself and to start taking care of me.

I don't know why I want to share that... Just curious if anyone else has done something similar or has their own way that they've made a promise to themselves about this lifestyle...

I'm not having a good week. Last week I lost 3 lbs. and .75in in my waist. I was really good all weekend, only to notice every day so far THIS week I've gained 1 lb. I've kept it below 20g for almost 2 weeks now, and I've gained back all the progress I made last week. I drink 72+ oz of water a day...watch my carbs and calories...with nothing lost. My weight just wont stick to below 133 for more than a day or two! I'm not new to Atkins, it's worked for me before to lose 70 lbs...so I don't know what's going on with my body this time, but it's making me QUITE upset!
