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

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

After four weeks on the induction diet, I slipped up a tiny bit last night. I have always had a problem with sleep eating (my wife and daughters have witnessed the "phenomenon" many times, and last night I evidently ate a handful of m & m's my wife left on the kitchen counter and my daughter's Doritos. All while in my sleep.

I feel like crap this morning, physically and . . . psychologically, but I'll get on the horse and start anew today.

(It's **** week in our family, two daughters and a wife all screaming and eating chocolate by the pound.) And tensions are high.

So a little self flagellation may be in order.

Hoosier -- ask your family to put items you'll be tempted to eat away - or take them to their rooms. If they couldn't have something and you left it on the counter with the "tension" being high they wouldn't be too happy so ask them to be kind to you in turn.

If you are truly a sleep eater (go have yourself checked) have a little something before bedtime, an ounce of cheese, a few veggies, so you won't be tempted to get up in the night and eat. (That is what my niece's doctor told her parents when she was diagnosed and it worked for them).

Have a headache which is the part of the withdrawl I think.
Next week will be better, but I dont think I gained lol (I hope) lol

What are your plans for the weekend?

Sd - the headache is probably your body going into keotsis (that's normally what it is) and that's what you want so take a couple pain releavers and jump up and down with joy!!

Our plans for the weekend are pretty miniscule (as normal). We didn nothing yesterday out of the ordinary, didn't leave the house except for a walk. Today I mowed the lawn before the heat got too high (we're expecting 105 degrees today) and I've just finished lunch so it's time to take a shower and watch baseball the rest of the day...lol!!

Hope you are having a great weekend!!

Hi Sammy -- we follow the 2002 DANDR book not 72. Have you read the 2002? Good luck to you.

the 72 and 2002 one?

No - my team didn't win (not once over the weekend) but I'm use to that so I never get upset about it.

If the stick turned a little, any little bit means you are in keotsis. The color has nothing to do with being a little or a lot in...it's like being pregnant, either you are or your aren't! I've never had any color on the sticks but I've managed to loose 36 pounds so I've learned to realize the signs of keotsis and know when I'm in and when I'm not in. If I go out of keotsis I check my food for the past couple days to see if there is a pattern.

Good luck to you!

Basically the 2002 is the newest edition released before Dr. Atkins death. The foods in the 72 edition are somewhat different but after the years in between 72 and 2002 edition they made changes based on the findings of people on the WOE at the clinic. I prefer the 2002 over 72 because of the changes.

Looks a little slow here.....hope everyone is doing well.

Mom and I went to Des Moines, IA over the weekend -- left Friday and came home Sunday evening. Fast trip but we made it there and back.

Got back on the bike for the full 25 today -- felt good to be back on it. I did some exercise while I was gone -- made my water quota daily but I normally drink 150 oz and one day I only got 120 oz (I have 120oz as my quota).

Need to get dinner started -- I have to take the hubs to a sleep clinic tonight - his C-Pap machine is being checked to see if it needs adjustment and they are testing him for narcolepsy -- he has to be there at 8:00 p.m. and will be done at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow.

Have a great Atkins day

Good Luck to your husband for the sleep clinic
I hated that when they did that to me.

Hubby is home from the sleep study - we'll find out what the study report is in about 2 weeks.......been a busy day -- glad it's almost time to go to bed!!

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

Sounds like a busy couple of days Carole. I just got back from taking my oldest daughter to college. I took my sister-in-law and we had a good time. It was a long day! I imagine she crashed as soon as she got home. I did.

I have had a really nice morning. I met my walking buddy for the first time in weeks for a five mile hike along one of the trails. When I got home I made an amazing breakfast(no, really it tasted amazing). I just bought some low carb tortillas, so I took my usual scrambled eggs and wrapped them up in one with tomato, avocado and grated cheese. It tasted so good.

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

Good for you! I like Mama Lupe low carb tortillas. Gosh, being from Texas it is almost unheard of NOT to have some form of tortillas. Sounds like a good breakfast and a great hike! Take care. Mary
