Thursday check-in

[pstansel]

Well, almost to the long weekend all. I was really dragging this morning, actually had a moment when the alarm went off that I said "Hmmm.... I could sleep some more." But I dragged my sorry self out of bed and did the treadmill. I'm feeling better now, but beat. Pity it's not 9am yet!

Hey that's great Racheinla, that's a lot of weight. Way to go Paul, soon you will be totally rocking in the mornings. I am sure your body is just getting use to all of this...mind still has trouble some days...I know our bodies are trying hard to keep up with us...Emotionally we are advancing but our laden bodies are not as light as our desire to get it done...
I am good today, up 3 pounds on the scale, no biggie, remember I am trying to learn about my body during the whole month, so today's gain is right in the middle of TOM.

It's a great day!

Re: Thursday check-in

I was happy to see a 3 pounds gain during TOM. Seriously. Before Atkins, that scale could go a high as SEVEN POUNDS. Nobody is happy to see it go up.. but compared to 7.. I was happy. And all the other pluses that went along with it.

Good morning STACers! Sounds like you guys are off to a good start this morning. Pstansel - great job getting up and doing the treadmill instead of going back to sleep! That is always the hardest time for me.

All I can say is - ITS ALMOST FRIDAY!! And I cannot wait. I'm counting the minutes until the end of this week. Vacation, here I come.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Thursday, STACers! I hope you are all having a good day... it is 9:30am here and Luna had a fairly good night's sleep so i did too! That is always a good way to start the day, after a good sleep. It is so chilly here that it is like a taste of autumn, and i love it!

Oh, and i wore size 16 pants to the wedding shower yesterday! I was so excited. They totally fit fine. So that was a nice way to end the day after my terrible, horrible, no good day...

Today we take Luna to her school to visit. Should be fun! I hope she does well next week; i am concerned because this will be the first time we leave her on her own, essentially, with people she doesn't really know.

I didn't work out yesterday due to having a bad day (i know, i know - i used that as an excuse!) but i am back on track today and will be doing the treadmill this afternoon. Or perhaps i'll do the Firm while Luna is napping. Whatever... something will be done!

Enjoy the day, everyone!!!

Re: Thursday check-in

i'm getting really good at getting back on the horse. last night i had a piece of carrot cake. i'm not even sure why. I wasn't craving it, but... I just decided to eat it. It was kind of weird, and I felt really ill afterwards.

today i'm feeling really good though...I decided to put the carrot cake behind me, and I had my two music classes today...jazz & theory. Found out my final project in jazz is going to be improvising with James Taylor's rhythm section....ooooh!

I've been getting a lot of compliments on my hair, too. (for the record, I used to have long blond hair, and now i have really short brown!) I think it's definitely a unique artsy look. I was worried before about all the guys that told me to never cut my hair...but I've still been hit on a fair amount! So we'll try short brown for a while.

anyway I'm on a tangent. I'm feeling good. That's my point.

Re: Thursday check-in

Hi, I'm here. It is good to see others doing so well. I am dealing with massive PMS, bloating, watergain, and fatigue, and I'm working hard to stay true. I don't want to weigh until after all of this is done. Good luck to everybody!

Re: Thursday check-in

hang in there sillyann, it will pass and you will be better...I am thru with that preTOM, and well into TOM, and felt great until this afternoon, when I hit a wall, and am just sliding down...but, food won't comfort me, staying clean in induction will, you too.
