Re: Monday Check in

Hello!
JESS--Enjoy your day off! LUCKY!

I only have a 3 day week with the students, and Thur and Fri are inservice days. But I have a feeling a lot of kids are going to be absent, and the ones who are here are going to be WILD, so it probably won't be a productive Monday, to say the least.

I'm going to work out hardcore after work today--I have been ravenous this weekend! Maybe my metabolism has been kickstarted...? Hopefully.

My cold is almost gone! Yay. I don't sound like Darth Vader on a 4pack-a-day habit anymore.

Have a great Monday!!!! And DRINK YOUR WATER!

Jess:

The sad thing is I was up early this morning and thought I did beat you to it. Bah on me for not making sure. Oh well. So check in!

Its monday and to me a new week. So for todays flavor I offer to you all 2 glasses of water for the wake up and 2 for the road. Just think if your like us in Houston its a long drive in. I hope everyone enjoys today. Remember to eat something (Atkin's friendly) if you get hungry but first try a glass of water.

Update: It is snowing here--it's been snowing in the mountains this weekend, but it's finally reached the "lowlands" and boy is it freezing outside! This puts a damper on an after-work walk outside...I will have to turn it up a notch at the indoor fitness center!

How's everyone else's weather?

Hey everyone!

Korelis, Thanks for water...good stuff!

Hi julirama, Wow Snowing!? brrrr. We started buying polar fleece items this weekend. Yeah! Go with the hardcore work out! Glad to hear your cold is going away, and, LOL that you don't sound like darth vador.

Jess, I'm glad your daughter was ok after that hike. Willie Dog sounds cute. We used to have an extra big Old English Sheepdog, Harvey, and we'd go on day hikes with him all the time. He would me up hills. LOL I loved him for that too, especially when it was stormy. Now my dogs are so little or old, that I have to pack them. Pay back, it's for real. LOL

I hope all are doing great today. I am doing great because I am keeping a variety in my cooking. I check out the recipes here on ADBB all the time.

I woke up at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30...I still feel rested. It's cold and pouring rain here today and feel like a crock pot soup day, but I'm really hungry for pizza made with the taco bake crust recipe here in the recipe forum, so I'll do that instead. The "sweet'' desserts there are really satisfying that are on the recipe forum too. I think I want to cook all day!

Hi everyone!

This weekend I overdid it on the exercise and boy does my booty hurt! All of me hurts, but my booty most of all. Hopefully that'll turn out to be a good thing though. :P

I ate pretty well this weekend, although I had some great northern beans in one of my meals that were hard to avoid. I did the best I could though.

Water is the name of the game today, I think. I'm feeling poofy!

Re: Monday Check in

Pooofy? Oh I know a great story about Poofy...see our cells, well they fill up with water and they don't want to loose their shape, and give up their space, sooo one little cell got this brilliant idea, lets fill up with water and hold our space, and our body's brain will freak and want to quit, thinking Atkins doesn't work....
But, if you keep moving thru POOFY-VILLE, a whoosie will come your way and wash all those subversive cells outta here!!!

Re: Monday Check in

woohoo! I love that story! :P

That's why I'm drinking all this water! Definitely been retaining water (only got up once last night!) so i'm fighting fire with fire, so to speak!

Re: Monday Check in

Re: Monday Check in

Hey Rachel, How are you doing? Is this the week you will be slammed with stuff and won't be around much???

**Jasmain** · October 16, 2006, 11:27 AM

Re: Monday Check in

Hi Jess and friends! Just looking in, I'm home with a bum ear that is THROBBING, but wanted to stop in and say hi in between naps on the couch. Hope you're having a good day!

Re: Monday Check in

Tomato sauce usually has sugar in it. What i've done in the past is get those cans of crushed tomatoes, which still have carbs but no added sugar. I think tomato sauce is a nono for induction, but okay for later on. Just look on the can of crushed tomatoes to see how many carbs are in a can and see if it's acceptable to you!
