Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Wow Sandy what a timely message today, too bad we have to go through all of this stuff. I'm sorry to say we are in the same boat right now. It is a struggle. The last three days for me have been bad. I have been eating the carbs and some sugar too and here I sit all bloated, hurting and miserable. I don't know when I am going to get this WOE into my head but no matter what I am determined to keep picking myself up and getting back on track. I look at all the beautiful pictures in here of people who are working toward their goal and that is what gives me the hope and the drive to go on, because I know I can do this too. You guys are an inspiration!

It was so disgusting our family went out to a great hiking area in the desert today, so my husband could take some pictures and I was too sick and too tired to even enjoy it or even try to work some exercise time in. What a waste. I a determined to do better.

Thanks for listening

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Thanks for all the words of encouragement out there. I guess it's hard right now cuz i'm also doing the cleansing of yeatie beasties, so i haven't had cheese, bacon and ranch dressing, but i should only have a week left of cleansing, then I will step back into the good stuff. Those cheese chips sound great, and I will make the muffin tomorrow, can't belive I didn't think of cream cheese and splenda. Salsa is very common in our home, we have about 15 tomato plants. You guys are awesome. by the way, i'm feeling less frustrated now.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Hi everyone! I'm back... we had a little problem with the fan belt on the truck... will be spending the 4th at home I guess.! lol.
Unpacked the cooler and am making fish, broccoli, onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter... this is a great woe. I have a ripping roaring headache though... the beginnings of a migraine... oh, no. Took my zomig, but wanted to say Hi...Need to turn off the lights and get quiet.
Julie, you are a rock star.
Michelle, I'm sorry for all the lack of support. It is so hard to be eating so different from your whole family and kids... hang tight and get busy with some new recipes... I love the mashed califlower fake potatoe recipe.... think I'll make that tomorrow. There are soo many good recipes... but I know it does get exhausting with a family to be doing so many different things. But put yourself first... at least try. Then you'll have more to give. Exersize is key....
One reason for the tenseness is that carbs increase our seratonin level, but there are other things that will as well.... sunshine, exersize and certain vitamins... Just read a study by a couple of nurses on this... we need at least 10 minutes a day minimum of sunshine... it actually prevents more cancers than it causes.... just something to remember...
Sorry you had such a bad day Deb, tomorrow will be better.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words... Even though I have cheated...I haven't cheated all the way..which to means I am still fighting.. I have not had real soda... In the kitchen where I am working we have a leftover shelf for the staff..well no one had been in there for a couple of days so all we had on the shelf were pancakes.. They were whole wheat..and I used the Sugar Free Syrup... We had chicken and broccoli left over from dinner last night so I know there is stuff there to eat.. And I will work at being good today.. I hate the way my stomach is feeling lately and that in itself is worth doing better..
