    Friday check-in

    Hey all, how we doing today, it's Friday!!!
    I think Sarah is out on an interview this morning or something like that, so I will start the thread and she can come in and be surprised by all of us.
    First we believe for a great interview and a better situation for Sarah, "Amen or something of that nature"...

    I am good today, still can't believe how evil sugar has been to me considering I have seen such improvements from that liste of sugar symptoms on pg131 of the DANDR book... I looked them over and alot of those symptoms are totally gone, or irrelavent in my daily life...That means I am aware again of how much you get back when you give up....
    I reflect often using WW as my comparison. I only lost a little weight on Weight Watchers, and it's a fine program, really, but because of my insulin resistence, and the fact I could continue on with sugars and processed things, it did not give me the relief in the physical/emotional/mental arenas that Atkins does.
    I lost weight with WW, but I did not improve all the other terribly troubling sugar symptom areas...
    NOW, i have a new quality along with being in a pair of pants that I could not be comfortable in at all 2 weeks ago..

    Congrats on those pants!!! I agree with WW. IT's good, but not for me. I was always hungry! I am a carb addict. No question about it. Sugar is not good - sugar from foods IS good. Do you taste sweetness in things never before tasted?? Blueberries and strawberries! I had a bite of a banana with my son the other day sweeeeet. I sampled A grape from the fridge.. Sugar sweet! Funny how that is.

    Today is friday. Yeah. Weekends I don't get near the water I should.. eating is usually good, but water is the pits. We are just too much on the go during the weekends. I'd live in the public bathroom. LOL

      Hi Jess and all you other wonderful STACers!!

      The interview is at 12:30pm. Please send positive vibes my way. I want this position bad and the last position like this that opened up was a year ago. So I'm hoping this time is MY time. This would be an awesome opportunity for my family and I.

      Jess I am amazed at how well you are progressing!! Go you!!!! You are setting a great example for your family. Hope I'll be making the same example for mine soon.

      I'm having a difficult time today between nerves and stress of the current job. But hanging in there.

      I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!!

        Oh, I meant to comment on the WW thing too. I'm the same way on that plan. Hungry all the time, still eating processed junk and still feeling gross. As much as I wish I could use that plan and have a chocolate bar once in a while, it is sadly not for me.

          Morning, all - Sarah must be getting out of her interview by now! I know she is in the East Coast time zone... and it is 10:30am here, so that is... 1:30 there... and it might be a bit of a drive for her to get back to the office... i am so excited for her! AHHHH! I hope this works out for her. She has been talking about getting into this office for a long time.

          So... POSITIVE ENERGY SENT TO SARAH!!!

          I am doing okay today... was supposed to go out this morning with my mom and Luna, but Luna was saying that her tummy hurts so i think i am going to keep her in for a while. I have to do the Firm today, yuck, and have to wait until she is napping for that. I do feel better this week... a lot of exercise and i am looking forward to Sunday's weigh in... how close will i be to my mini goal?! I can't wait to find out!

          I tried WW too, but alas, not for me either. I spent all of my points on WW desserts. I know now that i am a sugar/carb addict and that this is just the way it has to be for life. I feel much more empowered knowing this and being able to take control. I used to look forward to "planned cheats" but not anymore. I don't need to...

            Thanks for the positive vibes!! The interview went great. The Judge said "dont worry if you don't get a call back right away. I'll be on vacation next week." Hopefully that means I'm being seriously considered for this job. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

                I am a paralegal, but the interview is to become a Judicial Clerk for the Judge at our circuit Court. This job will offer me a great learning experience and of course, those great county benefits. It is much closer to my house, so it will also give me more time with my son (2yrs) and DH.
