Carole - lone time is important! I'm a recent empty nester and didn't know how much I would enjoy it...then my husband lost his job and now he's around ALL THE TIME. I relish my lone time!

Decorating - I dread it. My house has been in a 'transition' since the kids left. I do have 4 trees [pre-lit] and they are pretty cool, but I don't have the energy or ambition to get them out. My living room has a 'total gym' in the middle of it...the hub loves it...so have to decorate around it. May have to make some adjustments so I am able to get a little 'xmas spirit' in our house; maybe that will be my weekend goal.

Good Morning!! I'm back! Sorry I keep popping in and out- that is just the way my life is these days-but I need to settle down now.

November was a month of highs and lows for me-I turned 56 and ended the month in a puddle of depression (and a root canal!)-I ate an entire birthday cake....myself.

So I have picked myself back up and I'm gonna try this again! My BP has been out of control and I am going to the doctor tomorrow to see what we can do-

Glad to be back! I need to READ and catch up!

there's a technical forum - you should be able to find your answers there.
Testing and Technical Questions - Atkins Diet

and congrats on your 11 lb loss - that is fantastic, and so exciting!

Welcome back non1953 - and my fingers are crossed for you d33na !

All is well here - brought lots of good food for work, really thirsty today - so water will not be a problem. Feeling a little bloated ?? but I'm sure the water will take care of that

Hope everyone has a great day!

its just great to find a doctor that will see the results and attribute it to Atkins...

You are very lucky Deena!! I fight with my internist about the way I choose to loose weight but I feel I'm showing him there are other ways to do it healthily other than his version of low-carb (which entails 15 "carbs" daily -- each 1 carb is actually 15 carbs that we count and includes rice, flour, bread, pasta, etc)....he will never "believe" in what I do but I "believe" -- and that's what matters. I couldn't eat the way they wanted me too...I spent the entire day waiting for the next time to eat (because I had 3 meals and 3 snacks daily) --- I don't have to think so much with Atkins and my fatty liver problems are gone now...they got worse with his version of eating.

Hope everyone is doing well this week....can't believe tomorrow is Friday already! Enjoy the weekend.

Sunday already- I have a new doctor who decided it was time for some medication control for my HBP since I decided to gain 30 pounds after I quit smoking....

He put me on a med wth a diureticincluded I am SO thirsty now and have NO problem getting my water in- but it definately is NOT staying put~ I have lost 10.5 pounds since Thursday- I must have had alot of excess fluid in me. Doing well on Atkins- back into the routine and it feels good!

Have a great day- see you in the new week!

Good for you getting back on track Non!!!

I'm taking an exercise day off....before I haven't done this - just keep on exercising everyday because, I guess, I knew better! I've done 12 miles on the treadmill this week I need some time off....I read where Liv did 10k one day this week....I don't know if that's going to be something I ever do!!

Have a great week ahead!
