Tuesday Check-In

[Sarah1341]

Hi STACers,

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Outback Jess made a good point to me. When we are following this WOE as we should, it gives a feeling of empowerment. I have been feeling that these past two days. Hope you are all feeling the same.

I'm feeling strong this week and love that I'm moving forward - taking matters into my own hands. Absolutely no excuses.

For exercise today, I am thinking of doing the treadmill tonight. But I don't want to rush into it too quickly. So if I don't do it tonight I will do it Wednesday.

How are you all doing?

Morning all ~

I got my TOM this morning! So woo-hoo... that is good news! BUT i do want to crawl into a ball. . . it will be a great challenge for me to get onto the treadmill today, but that is my goal. I am on an exercise roll, and if i make an excuse today then i will tomorrow and so on and so forth. So make sure i get on that treadmill today!!!

Sarah, i think you are doing awesome! Definitely ease back into the exercise... i did that too the first week and it really helped. You are doing great!

I agree with Jess as well, i do feel empowered. I feel relieved, really... when i go out now i see people everywhere loading up on sugar and carbs and i feel so sad, thinking of how i was, just a few weeks ago! Now i feel in control and on my way!

I hope everyone has a good day... anyone want to come and cook for me today?

Just checking in. It's gonna be a bit tough today because it's my mom's 52 B-day and there's going to be CAKE. I know I can resist but I find it much easier to stick to induction if I stay around home to eat. I offered to make the meal for everyone in my family and bring it up so I know I'll have lots I can eat. Hamburgers, broccoli and bacon salad, saurekraut salad, etc.

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Glad to hear all the STACers are doing so good. I hope to follow your lead and be able to report the same in the weeks ahead. As of day 3, no problem, no cheatin, no cravin, just waiting for full blown induction flu to kick in. With my luck it will hit me Thursday when I have to be in the office all day, along with a 2-3 hour drive each way depending on the traffic. I was much sicker by day 3 the last time around, and I didn't nor have I cheated either time, that's kind of weird to me.

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Yes, its normal to feel flu-like symptoms. Its not really the flu, but symptoms that feel as if its flu. Carb withdrawal feelings. Ugh!

You guys are doing so great!!!

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Just reporting in after the birthday party. When everyone had cake, I just went outside and walked around. I can have anything else in the house (cookies, fruit, granola bars, cereal) without it bothering me, but I just love cake. That was the start of my falling off the wagon last time.

Loana - I love your goal picture. Someday I hope I can wear all white and look as good as you in that pic. Also, I hope your baby is doing good.

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Re: Tuesday Check-In

i'm doing great today. no big story, just wanted to share with the group. I've been reading the book, and my mom gave me one of her old journals to write in.

i'm still a little worried about constipation (sorrrrrrry if it's TMI). i've been taking psyllium husks but i haven't been "regular" at all!

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Great job Sofarsogood on resisting the cake!!!!

Thought I would do a last check in for the night. I am so proud of myself. Day 2 of exercise. I did a 45 minute kick a** walk.

Hope everyone else is having a great night too!!!

Re: Tuesday Check-In

Sarah, it is nice to see the old daily check ins again! I found it to be very helpful to see everyone check in and it helped us all to keep on track each day.

Yay for you for starting them again!

Re: Tuesday Check-In

I second that, Sarah! I think it is a super idea. I remember doing those last year when we first met! (Awwww moment....)

You're the greatest, bud!
