Sunday Roll Call

Re: Sunday Roll Call

Sherri here, checking in a little late. Great job Mitzie! You're doing so good girl, proud of ya. It was weigh day for me. I stayed the same. I'm o.k. with that. It's day 22 of extended induction. It's a pattern of mine though to lose 10 and then stall for about a week to three weeks . Im just gonna keep at it. It's a life time commitment not a race. I have no cravings and have been able to stick with the program again so I'm really happy with that. Cheri, Six Flags sounds like so much fun. You and your family have a safe one and hop on a ride for me. Good afternoon to all of you!

Re: Sunday Roll Call

Good afternoon, everyone! Today is icky icky in NC... hot and sticky. Spent the morning cleaning up the house for my guest who's coming to town tomorrow night. (Does scrubbing the shower count as exercise?) She's on a lowfat diet and I'm on Induction, so we're in an interesting position on how to stock the fridge. I got her the apples and nonfat yogurt she wanted, but since she asked for reduced fat cheese sticks, I kind of cheated and got the full-fat kind, even though according to the package they both have 1 net carb each. Luckily we overlap on veggies, so no issue there, and I got some turkey breast that we can both eat. I imagine we'll be eating out a lot too. If there are any leftovers that are not Induction-friendly, I am certain my boyfriend will eat them!

Anyway, it's going to be a great week, and I cannot wait for my friend to come to NC!

Have a good one!
Val

PS - One week back in STAC and 5.4 pounds gone!

Re: Sunday Roll Call

Hi, all. Hope your Sunday has been great. This is day 2 of my restart and I really feel pretty good so far. I can always tell when my blood sugar starts stabilizing. I always feel calmer and the cravings aren't there. Mitzimarie, I just want to say your a big inspiration for me. I lost 60 lbs in 2004 got pregnant and @ my 6 wk check up after the baby I was right back to my LW of 177. So I officially didn't gain anything really right? Well, that was 23 months ago and I am 19 lbs higher. I just couldn't stay on track after the baby. My taste buds have gone haywire. I used to love salads..can't hardly stand them now. But, I am going to take this one day at a time. I did it before and I am going to do it again. One major thing is coming to this board. I don't have anyone in my life I can turn to or talk to about this journey. I come here and you all lift me up. God bless everyone here and may all of your journey's be succesfull.

Re: Sunday Roll Call

hey, everyone. been very busy today! we decided, literally at the last minute, to take a trip to NJ tomorrow. my ds is a Wiggles fanatic and they have just opened a new Wiggles World kids area at Six Flags this summer, so we are going there. we are going to stop and spend some time with my dh's uncle and his family tomorrow and then go to the park on tuesday. we rushing to get everything ready. way to plan, huh? packing good food, too, just to be safe! hope everyone has a great day!

Ooooh! Have fun at Great Adventure... one of my favorite places. I am from NJ orginally and trips to Six Flags were a special treat every summer. You'll have a blast!!! Enjoy!!!

Re: Sunday Roll Call

We're really looking forward to the trip. DS is a little worried. The only time he's been away from home was during Hurricane Floyd and he was too little to remember that. (People with autism really need routine, so we don't go very far, usually. If this works, we may do it more often.)

Re: Sunday Roll Call

Have a good trip 0bkbbby!
mitzi! How encouraging you are! So happy for you! Thanks for sharing.
I'm trying to get back in the no cheat zone. Almost ate a piece of toast for breakfast... took a bite and spit it back out... but did take a bite of pineappleupsidedown cake...just a bite.... this evening.
Then went for a walk this evening... it was dark and I took my flashlight and looked for snakes the whole time... lol!
Hard day emotionally. Daughter said mean thing to me at church that really hurt my feelings. Not taking it or accepting her apology... staying mad... she needs to learn that i have feelings and am not her dumping ground. I think this is a turning point maybe for me. Always so concerned about others I put up with sh** and I shouldn't. Turn to food to make me feel better. Can't do that now. Although would really like too. Think that's why I'm struggling with cheating. All these changes I have made are a little iritating to others... mom taking care of herself, not focused exclusively on family.... not really surprising now that I think of it to have come to a head like this. (Mad at hubby too... doesn't stick up for me, allows kids to talk disrespectfully to me... feel like a doormat)
Anyways, guess this is all a part of the problem... and I have to make it better. I trained them all so have to untrain them. I am not a doormat. I am not a doormat.
I am not a doormat.

Re: Sunday Roll Call

Liz,

Sorry this had to happen to you. I have an 11 year old son that can really get to me. He can be such a little a$$ sometimes.

Hang in there, girl. I enjoy your positivity in your posts and would hate for you to lose that. You have been doing so well, though, that I know that you are going to be fine. Stay close to the board, and post often.

We are here for you.
