Re: Thursday - Roll Call

Wow! What a great story. There really are awful things in the world, but I continue to believe that people are basically good.

My story from last night--

DS (6yrs)- Let's have steak for dinner!
Me-Why? You hate steak.
DS-I know, but if you have steak, I can have mac n cheese!

Alas, I have a 6yr old carb addict. I guess it's time to try to make macafoni and cheese.

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

I love stories like that Scooter - makes me believe in the goodness of people!

Last night I was VERY VERY close to calling and getting my favorite takeout Mexican food - complete with the chips. I just wanted it in the worst way. Finally I got ahold of myself and made the cheese taco shells and quickly ate dinner. It was a relief to make it past that temptation. It seems to be getting harder for me? My habits run so deep unfortunately......

But I shall persevere! I will not let carbs get me! LOL!

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

Scooter..that was such a blessing.. You must really be a sweetie in real life..

Now its Discouraging Thursday for me.. For one its cloudy and gloomy.. Second.. I know I shouldn't get on those stupid scales.. Monday I was 277...Tuesday 275! I was thrilled.. Wednesday I was 277 and TODAY I am at 279 UGH.. Now what is going on..

The family that we had dinner with yesterday fixed me just a Salad and put Chicken on it..While everyone else this yummy looking Pasta, with peapods and chicken.. Sandy ate what she was suppose too... Grrr

Although my hands do feel a little puffy this morning so it could be water.. I did eat some Pepperoni last night on the way home..so it could be salt..

Doesn't help that my life insurance agent is coming by today..and I would like to change my policy...but of course I have to have a health exam and I am way bigger then I was when I first got it and now I know I can't change it..

Sorry I am a downer today.. I gotta go pick up the house and get ready and when I am done I will come back and read the boards and get myself happy again..

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

No downer Sandy. You're just having a bad day hon! We all believe in you. This is a rollercoaster ride sometimes, you know that!! Just keep pushing on, I think you should try to upgrade your water intake. Sounds like you might be having some water retention stuff going on, especially if your hands feel puffy.

I just wanted you to know, WE care and WE believe in you and what YOU are achieving! Keep up the hard work Sandy!!

Remember the sun will come out eventually....takes a while, but it can't rain all the time! Here's to think of you! (raise the water jug...haha)

A hug goes a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng way sometimes!! You can do it!

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

Good morning all! Scooter, you are blessed to have such great friends - isn' t it awesome how God places those people in your life to support you when you need it? Glad you will be getting transportation issues resolved.

Well, I finally got on the scales this morning, and was down 3.8 pounds. That's the first big whooshie that I have seen in a while. Makes is much easier to stay on track.

Skinnymom - I know about those Mexican food cravings. All I can say is taco salad, use either regular taco meat or fajita meat, and add on cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, whatever your favorites are. It usually does the trick for me!

Hope everyone has a great day today

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

I know the feeling. You're body will adjust to it, trust me, I was drinking like 220 oz a day forever, then got bit by the caffiene monster, then started again, it felt like every 20 minutes or so I running down the hall. But once again, it's starting to accept it again!

Re: Thursday - Roll Call

Good Morning All, Scooter that is such a blessing, you deserve it!!! Sandy just be patient, the scale sucks this morning for me too lol, actually it keeps going up and down, but i know im getting a lot of excercise in, so im trying to not get discouraged, I wore a shirt last night to church that was snug around my belly just a week ago, so something is happening, maybe not a whole lot but every little bit counts. I have a problem with retaining water as well, and i take a blood pressure pill that has a water pill in it, so that helps me a little bit. By the way yall i took my pb reading yesterday and i took it twice within 5 minutes of each other, the first one read 132/82 and then the second one read 110/77, so not sure which one is more accurate, i do know it can change in a matter of minutes. Well i guess im off to start my day, will check in later on!!!!!

Well, I'm up two pounds also. But you know what? I'm not sweating it. First, I wore a pair of slacks yesterday that I gotten into recently for job hunting. And with the working out of so many weak muscles, all I can figure is some of it may be muscle gain, some of it may be swollen muscles not used to working out. I don't know. (Then again, I didn't drink the water I needed to yesterday, missed a meal, had a no-carb beer...could all be self-inflicted...) WHATEVER! My clothes are still fitting better! Good enough for me! I'm starting to see the wisdom of others saying to stay away from the scale. I may start doing that after this weekend. (Although I understand the insurance folks aren't going to give a hill of beans about the size clothes you're wearing...)

Good grief, my breakfast looks like dog food! - Oh well, too bad. Still tastes good...
