  • Tuesday - afternoon....I'm just beginning to see...

    Okay. It's really it's Tuesday Morning and not Tueday Afternoon. I just love singing to you fine ladies and gents. I can't help it. And on the note of the Moody Blues....I'm not to Moody today, but still a little Blue.....this rain....geez. I don't think it's ever going to stop raining!!! Yikes!

    Okay, yesterday, last night, got home, did a quick 20 minute exercise session, then had a big ol salad, with cut up hard boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, parmesan and asagio cheese, cukes, tomato, my http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/apple_m...kenthighs.html (I love that site - changed the recipe a bit...she called for 3/4 cup of splenda....that stuff is expensive, I changed it to 1/3 of a cup ) Had some Asparagus on the side...and for dessert 'Julie's (I have to give her the credit I saw her recipe first - sorry Linda....) Pumkin whip stuff ....

    I had all that and felt so incredibly...satisfied.

    Satisfaction is the name of the game here people. Am I satisfied with the way I look, no, then do something about it! Am I satisfied with the way I perform a certain song, no, then do something about it! I'm not trying to make excuses you see, that's what I'm trying to do differently this time around. There is no excuse to eat that cookie....look what it did to you when you did that, do you want to do that again.....the answer is NO.....I'm satisfied with the direction that I'm heading in now....watching that scale number ever so slowly going down, down down... If I follow this plan to the 'T' I 'WILL' be satisfied with the results.

    Enough rambling from the 'old guy'....ya'll have a wonderful wonderful day at work or home today....remember....be satisfied!!

    Best of wished. Life is Good. Happy Tuesday!

    Goals. Exercise. Don't forget that Water (smiling....WAR....you can have the cup of coffee.....just drink your water.....haha!!! - I'm still there for ya bro!!!)

    No Rain! No Rain! No Rain! (Oh my god....I am showing my age.....what was I, like 9......lol)

    Hey, Scooter!

    Thanks for the ramblings... I like them! Getting ready for work right now. And, woo hoo, my ears aren't stopped up anymore. I can hear again.

    My biggest obstacle this time around has been getting enough water down... I don't know why I struggle with it so much. It's not really that I hate water. I've just never been one to sip on anything all day... I'll give it my best today.

    Have a great day, All!

      Gooooood morning! Tues morning...I looked at the thread name, "Tues Afternoon" and I took a quick look out the window here at the hospital....still morning here, I am high enough up that I can see the sun rise coming up over the horizon. Peeking up and over the trees soon to make it sunny!!!!
      I am good. I am working on satisfied too Scooter. I like how I am handling the crisis I am in and I like how I have found an alternative exercise form here in the hospital (stairs, climbing stairs)...I am satisfied that I've got the right foods with me. I am holding to my plans and my big dream of having a lifestyle with Atkins I can do in good times and while challenged...Things are well oiled, clicking habits now!
      Hey everybody have a great Atkins day, Scooters right, CHANGE, WORK ON, GET TO IT! YOU'LL BE SO GLAD YOU DID.

        Good Morning, you early birds crack me up ! don't think I will ever be that chipper that early in the morning. Pulled a LONG day yesterday but packed LOTS of goodies to take along, never got to the starving time like I did the last time I did this WOE , that really is key for me to keep meals/snacks with at work. Am getting a cooler for this summer, so I can bring my lunch ( I drive around a lot with my job) *yawn*stretch* see you guys tonight. Have a GREAT DAY !! I plan to.

              Scooter, thanks a lot, now that song (and that catchy piano line) are going to be stuck in my head all day. TUESSSSSSSSSSSSSSDAY AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTERNOON!

              Today will be a good day, I'm feeling it. I'm going to drink lots of water and eat my delicious lunch, and I actually remembered to bring extra food! (Tuesday is my "hungry" day because of my Monday workout.) Do you know what the extra food is, Scooter? Huh? Can you guess? It's SQUASH.

              BWAAHHAHAHAHAHAH.

              Geez I'm in a silly mood. Have a great day, STACers!

                I have to admit I'm developing a "scale" obsession unwittingly. It must stem from this need for "instant results" or worse .... maybe I'm looking for an excuse. Either way my intent is to focus on the process rather than the results for now. This is where the success stories and progress of others here is so key and important to my own WOL.

                So thanks for the board and the experience.

                While at work if I get a craving, I know I can come here and read about SUCCESS and more clearly envision my own ... rather than wolf down some coffee and donuts .... "this one time and get right back on induction tomorrow".


                P.S. That obsessive compulsive scale trip... in my bathroom ... read 283 first thing in the morning in a pair of boxers.

                  I'm here and I got a HUGE reward this morning for being a good girl. 189.6 lbs on weigh day...FINALLY I get to write it down in my book, put it in my siggy, and post it! (for those of you who are just getting to know me, I am a daily scale watcher, but I can only write it down and COUNT it on my "official" once-a-week weigh day which is Tuesdays).

                  I am thrilled!

                  I am within 4 lbs of goal...4 LBS! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO...AND for you girls...TOM is due any day. SOOOOOOOOOO not next week but maybe the week after...I might get even CLOSER to goal.

                  It sure has been slow going. I made 198 lbs in JULY and it's taken me since then to lose 9 lbs. That's over 6 months....so, for those of you "only" losing 1-2 lbs a week...maybe that will put it into perspective.

                  There is no way in **** I'm giving all this up now! No way baby!!!

                  My message to everyone is to stick with it. You'll be so glad you did.

                  AND....I can have EXCUSES or I can have RESULTS. I CANNOT have both.

                  I'm choosing RESULTS.

                    WAR - You do what you need to do man....if you need to weigh daily to keep focused (I can't believe I'm saying that....I know Joy does it, and it can't be bad, unless you start getting frustrated....), you do it!! Yeah, most definately, I agree with you about coming here if you need a little 'success' Great Advice everybody!!

                    Julie - AGAIN WITH THE SQUASH, it's like being haunted but......not!! haha!!

                    Joy - 4 pounds to goal!! Awesome.....that's like 79 pounds so far if I do the math correctly....!!!! I say I choose.....RESULTS! RESULTS! RESULTS!!
                    It's a good day to be Alive!!!

                      Good afternoon all! Busy day at school for me today from 9:00am to 8:00pm. Very happy with the way things are going so far! I don't find it as hard to stick to the plan with a "Non" Atkins person in the house as I did the first time. My fiance has quickly learned to ask ME what I want to eat and what vegetable I want everyday now LOL I still need to focus on the water though; not doing so good with that this time around. Not sure why. I really do like water.

                      I have 4 Flights of stairs done today, workin' my way up the building!

                      Hope y'all have a great day!!
