Happy Friday - Roll Call

[Scooterjam]

Good Morning STACer's,

Not much to report this morning. Supposed to be rainy today here in Indiana, however, a Sunny weekend in store!

Hope everybody has a wonderful weekend, don't forget to 'plan' your outings.

2 Gigs back to back Saturday! Looking forward to being outdoors and sharing some music with folks!

Life is good!

Scooter out!

Re: Happy Friday - Roll Call

Hey everyone! I was waiting for a screen name change (darn stalkers ), and now that I have it I should be posting more!

I'm happy to say that even though I am losing sloooooooooooowly, I have been sticking with it (except for the occasional glass of wine or low carb beer) and finally started dropping again after a 2+ week stall!

Yay!!

Good Morning STACer's,

/wave Scooter, hope your gigs go well and dry this weekend.

It's Apple Blossem Festival weekend here, a very big deal around these parts, some businesses even close early today! I'm not going to go..too much temptation there. It does look like they are going to have nice weather for the festival.

Well tommorow will be 4 weeks on induction, and I am still where I started. I guess my whoosie fairy got lost somewhere, perhaps I should leave a low carb snack out for her, like you do for Santa Claus, lol.

The dh, on the other hand, has lost 11.5 pounds, I want a male metabolism! But I am not discouraged, just keep water and staying on plan, I have been in ketosis since day 2, sooner or later (although sooner would be nice) the weight has to start coming off.

Hope everyone has a great weekend planned.

Re: Happy Friday - Roll Call

Good morning, Scooter, and all,

Cold, cloudy and windy morning today. Too windy for my morning bikeride. So I'll resort to working out in here.

The big word for me today is DISCIPLINE. I've gotten pretty sloppy with everything lately with all that's on my mind and heart. Last thing I need is for things to spiral out of control. So today is a "Do It Now" Day and multi-task to the hilt. Just deal with today and not worry about tomorrow.

Oh, and I'm going through "scale withdrawls". Talk about a major disruption in my morning routine. eek!

Rock 'em out tomorrow, Scooter! Prepare for the weekend, everyone! This is a tough time of the week for some of us!

Re: Happy Friday - Roll Call

Good Morning all.. I just want to say my scales are wacko..

Monday 277
Tuesday 275
Wednesday 277
Thursday 279
Friday 274

I seem to have to go 1 step forward 4 steps back...lol But the most important thing is..this morning snuggling in bed..my husband was rubbing my hip and leg he said.. Are your legs smaller? Yep I lost 4 inches He said WOW...lol First time he has noticed anything in the almost 5 weeks.

Its another cloudy day here.. we are going to attempt the amusment park.. The Queen of England is here and I am staying on the other side of town...

I do have some food situations I am trying to figure out this weekend. My daughters friend wants to take us out after Church on Sunday to a Pizza place.. I gotta figure out what they have.. Italian places are hard to eat at. Then on Sunday they are fixing Hamburgers and Hotdogs for the kids at youth cause they are having a Soccer game.. I will make sure I take a salad with me..

Have a great day!

Perhaps they are related to mine. Although in my case, stubborn as a mule would probably be a better description.

Italian places are hard to eat at.

Antipasto! Veal Piccata! (no flour) Shrimp Scampi! Of course the last two would depend on whether it is a real Italian restaurant or the local version of Chuckie Cheese. Even then you could have an Italian Sub, oil and vinegar dressing, no bread of course and a side salad.

I've also found that most Italian places have some sort of grilled chicken dish these days, and even if its not on the menu, they will make it for you

Great job on losing the inches too (forgot to say that before).

You could always take a chicken breast and have them throw that on the grill for you.

LOL... Of course the scale is kind to my hubby so I think its prejudice against women...lol

Thanks for the tips.. I am not sure what is at this restaurant.. I am going to ask my daughters other friend today... I think its a smaller kind of restaurant...where they most likely have Subs. I would prefer to go over to the other restaurant that is in there town where I know I could get a Hamburger and a Salad.

This is the country and they don't even have a McDonald's.. But I like to have my stuff planned way before I go

Of course you do! Situation Sandy! You'll do great. Now that the jelly beans are gone, you've got this thing down!

Morning everyone. I'm not sure if should confess ahead of time or not, but here goes. Tomorrow I'm going to have a mint julep made with Splenda. I know I shouldn't drink yet, but my mother and I have a long history of drinking mint juleps and watching the Kentucky Derby and then chatting about it afterwards on the phone. It's become such a tradition and with her poor health I don't know how many more times we can do this. I know, I don't have to have the mint julep, but I'm not willing to change the tradition at this point. Just one small one. With Splenda. Bourbon, Splenda, mint...all low carb. May the best horse win!

Re: Happy Friday - Roll Call

If it's a small locally owned restaurant it will probably be easy for you to get them to cooperate with you.

Way back when, I used to go to this italian restaurant, they had wonderful mushrooms in garlic butter and then they took them off the menu. I asked for them, was told they were no longer on the menu, asked for the owner (knew he was there, lol) said, You have mushrooms, yes? Butter? Garlic? Okay, just throw all of those in a pan for me please, lol. He was happy to oblige.

LOL.. Life would be boring if I wasn't always trying to figure out what I can eat.. You know I do have 2 teenagers... And one day they will be grown and moved out and then I will be home all the time bored...lol

Alright...just a small one... Even though I don't drink so I don't know what a Mint Julep is...lol

Re: Happy Friday - Roll Call

GOODMORNING STACERS I am back in town, and I just wanted to pop in and say, good morning. I will pop around reading and remarking. I am doing ok, and yet plain exhausted. I will slowly begin to reestablish routines...I ate on the run so often, and totally legal, but food is nothing I am interested in...
I hope everyone is having a great day and that you are working towards the goals you carry in your heart of hearts to achieve here..Nothing is impossible for those who believe!
