Wednesday - Roll Call

[Scooterjam]

What up my awesome STACer friends!!

Life is good. Day 2 of my restarted induction. I'm bubbling with energy. Ya know, sometimes you have to smack yourself in the head and say, why did I ever stop doing this!! Yowsa!!!

Hope everyone has a great day planned. Make sure you take those snacks with you for when the hunger hits!! Nothing like planning to make the day go good!!

Well it's awesome to start a roll call after so long, great to be here!

I'll check back throughout the day when I can slip away from the duldrums of work.

Plan! Goals! Focus! This is the way to do it!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Your buddy,

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

Hi Everyone...Its almost 8am here and I am number 2 in posting. Well today is my Birthday... and I am home alone all day My kids are at camp. And hubby has gone to work in the garden all day. Its down the road a ways.

I have been really bad lately. So I decided the best Birthday gift I could give myself was to take care of me. All those carbs in my stomach make me hurt. It also makes me feel blah. Its just not worth it.

So no birthday cake for me today... I don't want it.

Happy Birthday Sandy!!!!
Turn it around and appreciate what a great day you can have all to yourself. You can still have some cheesecake or whipped cream for something sweet, but it's not about food today....it's your birthday! It's about you. Go exercise and get sweaty. Then turn on your favorite music and take a nice, long, cool bath. Why don't you do some of those beauty things that you hate to do in front of others (mud mask, waxing, etc) and give yourself a manicure and pedicure. Make it "Pamper Sandy Day!" Grill something for dinner with some of those garden veggies. Make it a great day, Sandy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY!!! We get no alone time around here.
Step away from the cake. I did not even have a cake in the house for my birthday this year, hehe. we had cottage cheese with a little fruit. It has been Pouring buckets of rain here. Hope it lets up a little today. Less coffee is the mantra for the day for me.
Less coffee, less coffee

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

DUDE! I'm so looking forward to restarting myself! I want to do a CLEAN induction, maybe even shooting for CHEAT-FREE simply because some of the things I thought were a "cheat" weren't. And check out every friggin' ingredient in anything I eat. Just dealing with a little bit of an upset stomach at times that makes me reach for something to settle it down. Almost there! Hopefully, I'll be more than ready by July 1st!

I'm even considering experimenting with Splenda, wondering if the diseased thyroid was part of the issues with that stuff. I say that because my longtime problems with fragrances seem like they have suddenly disappeared. Jury's out on it but there have been some hopeful signs... So I'm wondering if it may be the same with Splenda...

Happy birthday, Sandy! I'm starting to enjoy "pampering" myself and my home. I hear you on the car. That's on my list of things to do. Maybe you can stick birthday candles on a big ol' juicy steak off the grill! That would TOTALLY work for me!! yum!!!

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

Good morning everyone!

Scooter, good to hear day two is a good one. I love that enrgized feeling too.

Happy birthday Sandy! It's your special day! You're doing so well too. My birthday is July 2nd, and there's no cake plans for me either. It's going to feel so good not having it. I'm thinking stuffed mushrooms and a quiche.

Sheepie, Cheesecake's a great idea!

Hi Seepyturtle.

tmn, I hope you're feeling better and starting up around the first.

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

Thanks, Barb! Caryl and others said I'd start feeling better each day the more we zero in on the right amount of meds I need. Boy, she wasn't kidding! What a HUGE difference from even just one week ago! I want that darn energy I get from low-carbing, I think part of my tiredness has been from too many carbs.

Time for breakfast!

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

Happy Birthday Sandy! I hope you are able to take some time to do something nice for yourself today, you deserve it! Way to go on no birthday cake/treats, it is nice to find a non-food treat for your bday....I like Sheepie's idea of your own spa day! And seafood tonight with hubby will be a great way to end your birthday. I know your kids woke up thinking it was your birthday and thinking what a great Mom they have!

Scooter, good post! Have a great induction, soon you won't even be that hungry anymore!! Hang in there with the no caffeine.

Speedy, sorry bout all the rain! Hang in there, maybe you can take a nice nap in the rainy weather...that is always my favorite rainy day activity! Of course, it never rains here, so rainstorms are sort of a 'special' occassion for me!

TMN and BArbie, have a good one!

I am off to go running and then I actually have the day off today, so I am going to go to the pool for a short bit and then make sure I have meals prepared for the next few days, then pack for the beach!

Re: Wednesday - Roll Call

Good morning everyone,



TMN, I have tried to do a lot of research on splenda and keep coming up with the answer “stay away from it” I’t supposedly just as bad as aspartame. I’s all chemicals, nothing natural, and is said to cause stalls. I heard about stevia, so I went tot the health food store and bought a brand called “Stevia Plus” it’s pricey, (12 bucks for 100 packs)but actually pretty good. I bought it in the powder packets. Look it up on the web, it’s all natural. Only problem is you can’t cook with it, so if I do cook sweet, I still use splenda. I use the stevia to sweeten coffee and tea, etc…..



Happy Birthday Sandy, I have a feeling its going to turn out to be a wonderful day for you!!!

I am having a pamper myself day today just because my daughter is away at camp too and my husband will be out of town. I am getting my hair done with a totally new look and color. This should be fun.
