Re: Thursday Check-in

Aaah...I see...I stick to Saturday weigh ins as "official" . But, hey! I could be less by next Tuesday for ya!

Thanks for the encouragement! Oh, I am focused...that's for sure. I'm just hoping to not pay the price of overeating the fruit...rummbling tummy wise. So far so good this morning...but I'll be good and go without my berries for a few days

Re: Thursday Check-in

Morning all.... or afternoon to some of us. Nursing a bad headache today. Self inflicted so no sympathy necessary! Had a few drinks last night - first time in about 4 weeks...... My goodness, I'm out of condition for this drinking lark! Had good fun though. And it was for medicinal purposes.... my friend has split up with her husband and it was her wedding anniversary. Dinner and wine was called for. Happy to report that I stayed on track food wise too. Even though I know alcohol isn't great for this woe, sometimes life just gets in the way. Most important for me is that I didn't cheat food wise or even think about it for that matter.

My punishment today is to do an extra workout.... I'm glugging that water to try and re-hydrate!

Happy Thursday all.......

Re: Thursday Check-in

Good morning...Well....it's SNOWING! Oh yah...not just a few flakes, mind you...it's full on big fat ones coming down and staying! Anyone from Florida want to post me a sunny day pic that would cheer me up???

Terry, your morning greeting was exactly what I needed to read first thing..thank you for reminding me that this is a good thing we're all doing here. This is such a healthy way of living and it tastes good, and feels good and there are a ton of things to be thankful for every day we wake up to take another breath. Wow...didn't know I had that in me today! ha ha...

Question for those of you with journals here....do you find journaling on here is helping you?

Gotta run to work. Hope you all have a great day!

Re: Thursday Check-in

Hi MG. Journaling for me is a large part of my success I think. I find it cathargic to write down what I'm up to, and I read back on certain posts to remind me how good I felt at certain times. I want to remember why I'm doing this and how important it is that I stick to it.

Wow! I can't believe it! Stay warm. Drink a nice herbal tea. I don't journal, well, the check-in post is my little journal, and I don't read them either. Maybe I'll go check them out.

ASK what's in the ingredients in both foods AND beverages. Don't take it for granted that the steak isn't injected with sugar water...

They put sugar water in STEAK?????? EWWWWWW!

Re: Thursday Check-in

Good morning everybody. What a beautiful day.

I am here and on track and in a great mood to boot!

Sorry to hear so many of you are having car problems. That stinks!

Re: Thursday Check-in

Hi Everyone!

I love to read everyone's posts. It so helps me remember and stay on the straight and narrow!

For those of you who don't know, I dropped a bed frame on my toe Tuesday and I had to go to the ER yesterday. So, today it is elevated, they drained the blood behind the nail. I don't think it is fractured, but, I have to go into the ER to get my results. They won't give it to me over the phone due to HIPPA.

OH well. I'm enjoying my convalescing.

While I'm on the couch I'm going to drink, drink my water!!! And, look up some new recipes.

We can do this!

Re: Thursday Check-in

oh dear, Buffy - get well soon, am glad to hear that you're so positive!

Well, am currently on day 4 (cheat-free) and I'm in ketosis! I did notice that I felt very in control and not too hungry when I got home from work last night - which made a nice change! (also, I had the most delicious Thai Green Chicken curry for dinner which filled me up and even saw me past the snack counter at the cinema.)
I had a sneaky measure as well today (as I'm furiously ignoring the scales - I don't feel very different weight-wise just yet) and have dropped 13" overall!!!! What a buzz!!
(sorry if it's a bit 'all about me'-ish but I'm excited!)

Re: Thursday Check-in

Mitzi--I'm TOTALLY paranoid now. I went into my cabinets and looked for anything with that stuff in it and threw it away. I found some sausage that had it (1 g carb per sausage) but it has the HFCS in it. ACK! That stuff will not pass these lips again! I was just telling my DH this morning that I really don't want to eat out because I can't read a nutrition label!

Yeah... it is so uncharacteristic of me to decline eating out, but I did it again last night. I'm just too scared of what I might ingest to do it very often.

I am going to start double-checking labels, too. Even the ones I *thought* were safe. In a post in one of the other forums earlier this morning, Elizellen warned of starch being added to shredded cheese to keep it from sticking together. I thought, "surely not mine." When I checked the ingredients on it just now, I saw it included Potato Starch And Powdered Cellulose Added To Prevent Caking. Why didn't I read the label before? I am usually very good about that. I will from now on on everything, believe me!

Re: Thursday Check-in

Oh man, you're doing weights now?! First, GOOD FOR YOU! That'll boost everything for you!

Second, I'm so kicking myself for not buying the weight set that was in a thriftsale last year...

Third, can't hardly wait for this neck to heal enough to ride bike and start weights - no pressure on the neck for TWO WEEKDS! ugh!! If my stomach settles down, I'm going to try a light video today just to move.

Yep..I just started last week...Had to go through training on them.. I have only done them once this week.. Aiming for 2 days a week right now with 2 to 3 Cardio...

Hopefully your neck will be much better and you can start getting fit

Re: Thursday Check-in

Today is a GLORIOUS day! 186.4 pounds on the scale this morning. YAY!!!

Doggone Lipton unsweetened iced tea with high fructose corn syrup had me losing sooooooooo slow for 10 months!

If you are losing slow...check EVERY SINGLE THING you put in your mouth. Even trace amounts can add up and cause problems. Every thing you DRINK, every supplement you swallow, Everything you eat! If you are eating out somewhere...ASK what's in the ingredients in both foods AND beverages. Don't take it for granted that the steak isn't injected with sugar water, or that the cheese sauce doesn't contain flour or starch, or that the UNSWEET TEA doesn't really have HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!!!!!

Yay that is great Joy! WOO HOO..You are almost back to goal
