Good to hear you are doing well Non!! When I was going through induction I never ate the same thing except I ate eggs for breakfast. My lunch and dinner meals were different everyday. That way I didn't get bored, didn't feel there was no choice of food and my body didn't get use to the same thing.

It is so hot here -- almost 100 again today. When we came out of the restaurant yesterday (for Father's Day) it was 106 in the parking lot, and that was at almost 5:00 p.m.

I weeded and watered the garden around 8:00 tonight - it was so hot when I came in I was dripping (literally) in sweat. I came in not because I was done weeding, but because I could feel my blood sugar dropping and knew I needed to get some water and something to eat. I'm feeling a little better now.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Bordom is a good thing for me with food-

Unfortunately, I am one who has grazed with the best of them- eaten it all...and LOVED it! I can NOT control my food intake very well when it comes to sugar and carbs. I am one of those who can sit down and eat an entire cake or a dozen d***ts- can NOT say it!!My crash and burn food. I have to eat to live ONLY. The pleasure will come later a bite at a time. Right now I NEED to get this OFF once and for all. Choices are bad for me.

One thing I have learned in the past few years is there is a VERY special word in the Enlish language that I never understood until Atkins. That word is NO, as in NO thank you. I grew up and have lived in a swarm of feeders all my life. You all know wht I mean- "I'm allergic" works well sometimes, too.

I had put those away and look where it got me! Right back where I was! I swear I am going to have tee shirts made that say NO THANK YOU.

Have a great day!!!

Hi alll! I'm back finally. My company has gone home and dh is away on a 3 week trip out West so I have time to write a little bit.

Yesterday was busy for me. My dd was here in the morning helping with a decorating job I'm into and then my nephew came over to clean some windows that are too high for me. I can't stand on a ladder because of my feet. Did some work outside then went to dd's for dinner. We had grilled T-bone steak and salad and it was yummy! Then sil came over and did some moving for me, so I was busy all day and didn't get a chance to get online.

Today I had a Subway Oven roasted chicken salad for breakfast. Yeah, I know, but I went to town and forgot to eat first. Then I had a mushroom omelette for lunch and a sugar-free Jello cup for a snack. For dinner, I'm going to roast a couple of chicken thighs and have spaghetti squash with them.

I hope you all had a great day!

yea -- Welcome back Nyna!! I really missed you. Glad you are back.

I started the 30 day shred (Jillian Michael's video) yesterday. I woke up this morning and just wanted to die!!! LOL. I rode my bike but tell ya, I really didn't want to! My legs hurt wrose afterwards, but I put some Active-On on them before we took our walk tonight and they feel much better now.

Tomorrow I have to get the car inspected and have the emissions checked then go get my plates renewed for another 2 years. It's such a pain to do this....in Iowa all you had to do was go get your plates, no inspections - they did away with those 20 - 25 years ago. Oh well, it's only once every two years.

I-40 got so hot today that parts of the road literally blew up -- they are showing it on the news .... the heat is just brutal here. I just saw where we're under a severe thunderstorm warning again tonight.....good thing I laid down this morning - I slept a little for if I need to be up tonight with the storms I'll be a little more rested.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Way To Go non!!! Impressive results indeed.....

It's gonna be another scorcher here again. I have to go get the car inspected and emmissions tested - then go stand in line to get new tags for the licence plates...hope there aren't too many there today - the last time I went I stood in line 2 hours then found out I didn't have everything I needed so I ran around, got the rest of what was needed and stood in line another hour and a half....what a way to waste a day!

How is everyone doing? Keep going Atkins strong!

Hi,
I'm 51 pushing 52 in November. This is my third day of induction. This bulletin board is really great support.

Re: Any 50 year old members out there?? Come on in and say hi

I just got home from a LONG 10 hour day at work- good thing the ac was pumpin' cold- but our server (computer) quit about 5 and it was a possible panic! LOL! They got us up and running in about an hour- whew!

Did well today- walked outdoors on my breaks with water- it was a beautiful day but HOT!

I need to sleep=tomorrow will come too soon!

Hi Suppers and welcome to our 'youngsters' corner of the board! Glad you're finding the ADBB helpful.

After taking it easy for a couple days (I overdid with a new exercise video) I was ready to get back at it full steam again today. Just finished my 25 miles on the bike...I've got to get the new bike soon because my tailbone is still bruised from the one I'm riding now!

We are having steak & eggs for dinner....I love that meal!!! I'm making hashbrowns with onions for the hubs and mom but I'll be having fried radishes again. Mom made another 7 layer salad today (no peas on my end). It's such a fresh salad and go good as a mid-afternoon snack - and LEGAL!!

I've lost the 3 pounds I gained back...so I'm back at the same weight again....I really hope to get past this number this time and not go back!

On Saturday we're going to a festival at a small town real close to where we live. It's called "A Taste Of" - they are having bar-b-que among other things and a car show. We went to the same town for their St Patrick's Day Parade and had a wonderful meal afterward. I had a steak sandwich (no bun thank you) - it was a small ribeye steak and was easy to eat. I'll take a bag with salad along this time again so I can have something other than meat.

Have a great evening and I hope your Friday is wonderful!

Re: Any 50 year old members out there?? Come on in and say hi

Ok -- question time....

What are you having trouble with as far as the Atkins Plan goes? What are you doing to change it?

and if no problems:

What is the 1 thing you like the best about Atkins Plan. If you could change any part of it what would it be?

thought I would ask!

Good Morning All!

Re: Any 50 year old members out there?? Come on in and say hi

To answer the question I posed yesterday: The think I like best is the variety of food and how delicious it tastes.

[blueberrylady]

Re: Any 50 year old members out there?? Come on in and say hi

To answer your question, Carole, the part that gives me the most problems is rung 3, Seeds and Nuts. I've had to swear them off completely because I just can't control myself with them!

The part I like most are the veggies. I love veggies! And the meat too. I wouldn't last a day as a vegetarian because I love meat too. This diet was made for me.

The one thing that would be nice is if there were fewer carbs in milk because I don't like cream, Cream Cheese or Sour Cream but I love milk. It would also be nice if I weren't allergic to seafood but I do just fine without all those things.

I hope you get more replies to your question because it's a good one I would be interested in what others have to say too.
