CC Roll Call ~ Nov 9-09

[Sarina D]

Good morning everyone!!!!!

Welcome to Monday morning

How's everyone doing this morning??? I hope everyone had a great weekend!

What sort of plans do you have this week? How's the exercise routine going and what sort of exercises is everyone doing? I'm working out 6 days a week to a few different DVDs and having a blast with them. Using Slim in 6, Denise Austins Abs DVD, Turbo Jam and a cardio dance DVD.

Don't forget to mix up your workout ever 6 weeks so that your system doesn't get use to the same routine.

Drink plenty of water, eat properly and fit some form of exercise into your day....and don't forget your vitamins!

Have a fabulous low carb day!

Good morning...well, afternoon now, to all of you. Yesterday I worked myself silly, so today is my lazy day. It's all about staying in my jammies and clearing out the tivo..lol. Mondays stink as a rule, so I make sure to totally overdo it on Sundays and take Monday to recover. My muscles HURT!

Good afternoon everyone! It's 70 degrees here in New England today!!! And in November!!! Two days of Indian summer. Yippee!!

On another topic that might affect us heavier folks, while updating my meds list I noticed that I am no longer using my Rx cream for rashes in the skin folds. Sorry if TMI but I don't think many of you all are smooth, sleek and aerodynamic yet so ya know what I mean. Anyways, it has to be the diet and getting rid of starches. I didn't really have sugar before so it has to be no bread. Another great benefit of Atkins.

I just had to mention this to someone and it's not something I can bring up while casually chatting in the grocery line.

Have a great day everyone!

That cracked me up, Mizski. There are so many things we're all embarrassed about and it's wonderful to be able to talk about them here.

Now if quitting the starches could make my beard go away..lol. I think I shave more than my hubby!

Re: CC Roll Call ~ Nov 9-09

I'm here but just barely - got some sort of stomach bug, breaking out in sweats and then freezing. Other than almost passing out, my next thought was "I'm never gonna get caught up on my treadmill miles like this..." LOL!

Have to drag myself off to accomplish a few things... ugh.

Hope everyone else is better than me today.

Hi Aways,

So sorry to hear your're not feeling well. Probably best to forgo the exercise today and just rest. They say exercising when you're not well doesn't do the body any favours.....and believe me, I know this first hand! I've done it a number of times and I learned the hard way.....it seemed as though I just fatigued my body even more and it took even more time to recover. Now when I'm feeling under the weather, I talk myself through it and just rest for a day.

You're doing awesome, maybe just take it easy today and when you're feeling better you can give it your all!

Wishing you a very speedy recovery!

Hey Mizski,

If you and I were in a grocery line, I'd talk to you about it in a heartbeat!

I hear what you're saying, this is the first summer in a long time that I never had to use powder for those skin folds....the powder is a thing of the past......what a relief....I'm not looking back!

Congratulations on all that you've accomplished and thanks for the story....I could relate to it.

Hugs,
Sarina

Re: CC Roll Call ~ Nov 9-09

I'm feeling quite a bit better late this evening, thanks all - whatever that was, it was violent but short-lived. I rarely catch ANYTHING, knock on wood, but I seriously was trying to decide for about ten minutes if I needed to go to the hospital. It was like my blood pressure had bottomed out, seeing all those big spots and all - which I have experienced before when really sick but not for that many minutes. I downed 2 glasses of water and went back to sleep for several hours and was quite a bit better by the time I woke up again.

Anyways, it's late but I haven't eaten much today, sorta scared to, LOL! I guess I won't worry about only having 1k calories today, all things considered.

Thankfully I am off tomorrow!
