Re: Saturday 10/18 Roll Call

Mornin', I'm here.. of course, it's in the middle of the night and I'm at work, so I get to post pretty early.

I drank 2 gallons of water yesterday and I'm on my 3rd gallon now as it's still within my 24 hour time period, is that just sick or what?

Are you sloshing when you walk?

Re: Saturday 10/18 Roll Call

No, I actually am accustomed to this much liquid, it's just normally diet mountain dew (about 4 two liters a day habit), which I'm giving up for obvious reasons.

So no sloshing, just the usual run to the bathroom about every hour on the hour.

Re: Saturday 10/18 Roll Call

Hi Jasmine...told me same thing. I was trying to upload it and it wouldn't let me so I just copied and pasted it into the signiture above the edit one....if that makes sense. Anyway seemed to work for me. Maybe someone else can give you a better idea of how to do it another way if that doesn't work.

Re: Saturday 10/18 Roll Call

Good Evening everybody:

It's late in the day but I'm still feeling okay. This is strange because I fell off the bandwagon today and had me a rolling good time in Carbland. I got a text message early this morning that a good friend was in the hospital and with that the alarm went out to all of the girlfriends to assemble and decend on the hospital. But first things first, we had breakfast at IHOP.

Now last night I wanted to have an almond joy to celebrate losing 8 lbs. But I reasoned with myself that I would save my sugar laden reward for a really special occasion. Today was it. As I sat at the table I explain to the GFS (girlfriends) that I was living Atkins - this between bites of pancakes with syrup. After breakfast we went to hospital and spent a couple of hours with our friend poking our noses into her and the doctor's business until we was satisfied that she was getting the very best care she could get.

Then we went shopping to ease our tensions. I then had a peanut butter cookie in honor of cancer awareness week, an Auntie Anne's pretzel with glaze in honor of toe nail fungus awareness week, and two couch fritters with a coke in honor of "I know that I'm smack out of Ketosis" awareness week.

But I'm not feeling guilty, I'm not feeling sad, and I'm not craving. I thought if I ate those pancakes I wouldn't be able to stop and I would just keep eating and eating. However, I didn't. I was half in a state of musing the whole day because I really wasn't craving at breakfast, wasn't craving when I ate the cookie, the pretzel or the fritters and then I realized why I ate the way I did. WE ALWAYS EAT THAT WAY WHEN THE GFS GO OUT! But even with that realization, I made conscious choices and I don't feel bad about them. I'm in control so even now sitting here typing this I'm optimistic that I'll be able to just get back into routine tomorrow.

I tested again before sitting down to the computer and I'm negative, no ketosis now whereas I was at moderate (dark pink) this morning, but I read that it'll take about 48 hours to burn off the glucose I ingested today and then my body will start burning fat again. That would be Sunday and Monday before I start see pink again by my estimation, not taking into account exercise which I haven't today and yesterday.

I also brought a new bra. I'm happy with the bra but not the back fat. THE BACK FAT MUST GO SOMEWHERE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE BUT NOT ON MY BACK. My new bra is beautiful but it would be even more so without the extra back fat hanging out. So that's an extra motivation because I really love this bra and it's not everyday I spend $50 for something that hardly anyone else sees. I want more of them. They are sooooo nice. Sorry fellows but I had to get that out!

I know that this is a long post just to say that tomorrow I'm back on the wagon - not because I have to be but because I want to be and this makes a great big difference with me. I'm in control ya'll!

Good night everyone and be safe.

Peace, Duckie

P.S. TWO HAPPY EDITS - Tomorrow the challenge starts, I'm ready, ready, ready and also I've been miscalculating how much water I've been drinking at work, I thought my cup only held about 2 cups of water. I finally measured last night and it actually hold 3. So I've been getting at least the minimum at work because I fill that cup at least 3 times within 8 hours. Then I would come home and make up for the rest. So I've been a water drinking champion!

Good Night for Real this time!
