Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Hey gang! Checkin in today. I've been doing really good in the eating department (except for Sunday when I made....CHEESECAKE....and then didn't stop at one slice) However, I think my body liked the extra dietary fat and I got a big whoosh. I'm back down in the 180s.

I *truly* don't think though, that the dietary fat was SOLELY responsible. I think I've found the culprit of my very slow losing for the last 10 months...and it WASN'T because I quit smoking. It is something that looks VERY VERY innocent. I've removed it from my diet and I'm going to give it two weeks to see if that truly is the CULPRIT....

Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Good morning, folks. Hope eveyone is well.

Doing the working out right away sure works for me. Got the abs and bikeride in, v's are in, now going to make breakfast. It was a nice ride this morning, just cool and humid enough to make a morning ride perfect. Weird thing is, the temp is going to keep going down into the 50s. I won't be wearing these capris much longer! brrr!!!

Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Well....I don't want to look ignorant if it's not the problem....LOL

Actually, I should tell you guys..in case someone else is having this product.

Lipton Iced Tea makes a "real brewed" tea machine. It has two sides, one for sweetened tea and one for unsweetened tea. The machine looks like this


The tea tastes SO GOOD. Just like real brewed tea, not like the stuff that comes out of a coca-cola fountain drink machine. Anyway...I've been drinking this stuff EVERY DAY at work...sometimes 32-64 ounces. Figured it was unsweetened, so NEVER even looked at it as something that might give me problems.

Last week I was in the cafeteria when they were changing out the "syrups" and saw the box it came in. The ingredients looked fishy. Yesterday morning I called Lipton and they sent me the nutrition label for the tea extract (the actual tea part) and there is another nutrition label for the sweetner for the sweetened side.

Just the tea part, here is the ingredient list:

INGREDIENTS: BREWED TEA EXTRACT FROM LIPTON TEA LEAVES, HIGH

FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND CORN SYRUP (AS STABILIZERS), PHOSPHORIC

ACID, CARAMEL COLOR, POTASSIUM SORBATE AND SODIUM BENZOATE (TO

PROTECT QUALITY), RED 40.

Don't keep us in suspense! I'm trying to review anything that I may have had that may have triggered my cravings. Maybe yours will give me an idea!

Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Morning, still don't have much of an apetite but have dropped a couple of pounds since I got that tummy virius. Will probably go into starvation mode pretty soon if I don't get eating, Cottage cheese in the morning and a boiled egg at night just ain't gonna cut it, but am just not hungry yet. Gotta get going to work cyas later tonight.

Hello all,

A little late today. I'm a she this morning (Sidetracked Home Executive). Man, I can't tell you all how this board helps me. I just read everyone's struggle and I know that I'm not alone.

Six days until I start Clean Induction! I'm going to give up Diet Coke. I only have one more 12 pack to go and then I'm switching to unsweet tea.

Best to all,

Buffy

Buffy I can't remember why you are going to do a clean induction? Refresh my memory.. I am leaning towards giving up my coffee.. I don't seem to enjoy it as much now that its not loaded with sugar...lol I will probably wait for the week my kids are at camp so I can suffer alone..lol

Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Good morning! I'm rushing to get out the door to work so can't stay....
I must be really behind time-zone-wise because my computer says Sandy's first post was at 3:39 a.m. this morning! I'm on MST.

Saw a couple of your guys posts about cheating....I had a hot chocolate at work yesterday because it was freezing, and then threw it up because it was sooooo sweet it literally made me sick!
Have to wear nice clothes to work because the hot shots are here from head office, and my dress pants are quite loose! Yay!
Anyways..will pop in later and catch up on all your posts.

Re: Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Good morning everybody. I'm back from vacation, and slowly catching up here at work. I truly hope everybody has a great day!

Woo hoo, Sandy! I'm woohooing for a number of reasons in your post. First...you'll be singing in the 60s real soon, and it'll be all down hill from there. Second, you're doing great talking yourself out of those things. And last, nice showoff of the underware...

Holy /kræp/ Joy! I thought they had to post unsweetened on their machines as, you know, unsweetned That's just really wrong for misleading the consumer. What if someone was diabetic and went into a coma because of consuming the "unsweetned" product? Hmm...just makes you want to kick their shins and bite their ankles.


Hey, Buffy. I know that title! From Flylady, right? I find myself with that title more times during the week than I do anything else; mostly the sidetracked part. lol You'll be feeling sooo much better when you give up the pop! Best wishes!



I don't get here to post much, mostly I have time just to read and head out the door; like now. But, I needed a boost of confidence to make it through the day. I came here to read what you guys are doing.

You see, I've got tons of work to do for school, and no desire to do it . Food just calls my name for no reason. But! Last night I did a good thing. Well, it's more like what I didn't do.

While reading one of my smutty books to take my mind off of the world and try to fall asleep, my mind kept trying to detour my mouth to eat berries and cream. I ignored it and kept reading the book until my eyelids were getting heavy. Hubby said I rolled over in a humpf and went to sleep. LOL...don't even remember that. But I won the head hunger!

And that's the end of my story. LOL.


Have a wonderful day!
