4th of July Roll Call

[Outback Jess]

Well good morning STACERs, go for your dreams! Set goals and run right for them, get out of the house and off the couch and live! This morning we are leaving for the largest 10k race in the world....and we are running in it. The day I decided to do this it was beyond my ability or my wildest dream, but "hey why not"....My whole family is gong to be there, and we are off in a few minutes to make family and personal history!
It all started as an idea of doing and accomplishing something new in my life...this run with Adena might actually lead to running the Breastcancer Half Marathon with Buffy67 and a few other ladies from ADBB....
Point is, we are up and moving forward THROUGH our weightloss, not waiting til we are thin to get moving, we are moving NOW, in the midst of our current weight and limitations, we've found a way to get strong and powerful...It's a long journey, but you can achieve every day at every level of weightloss....

So dream big, reach high, the only limit is the sky!

Happy 4th of July everyone I hope everyone has a great day!

Jess, WOW, I haven't ran a marathon like that since I was in high school, I used to be quite the sprinter but never did like long distance. Congrats though on such an acheivement

I am doing pretty well, although I'm really struggling in the morning. I'm not hungry and I'm pretty much forcing myself to eat something. This morning I had tuna mayo with some cucumber and a slice of cheese, now I feel so full I am having chicken salad for lunch and chicken for dinner! I am on my third day and I feel fine. The first day was difficult, a killer headache and no energy, but all that has gone, is it possible I have pretty much missed induction flu? I mean I was low carbing but not completely, before I started the Atkins (i.e no white bread, using Splenda, no soda etc) If I missed it, great!
I also managed to work out for 20 min on the elliptical last night Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stays legal

Its just a normal day here in Ireland, typical rainy summer! But I'm wearing a bright yellow sundress in defiance of the bad weather!

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

For those of you that are working today, I salute you for being there for those in our armed forces.

Jess and summer, great attitudes today. I can learn from you.

Good luck on your marathon Jess.

If you are having a party to stay have strength and stay legal.

Carmel, congrats on the scale dropping...wish i could say the same.

Hope everyone has an awesome 4th today.

Happy Independence Day, America!!

Point is, we are up and moving forward THROUGH our weightloss, not waiting til we are thin to get moving, we are moving NOW, in the midst of our current weight and limitations, we've found a way to get strong and powerful...

Hear, hear, Jess! What the body will do, do it. What it doesn't do well, do it anyway, it'll improve. What it doesn't want to do at all, keeping trying. Sooner or later, it just might yield to whatever it is you're attempting.

I went on a tour through a brewery with my family yesterday. By the time we finiished, I was wiped out and my left leg and knee were so painful. I'm still glad I went, though; Family is everything to me at the moment. The others wanted Chinese, so I wound up taking in a few things I probably shouldn't have, although I avoided rices, sodas, and fortune cookies.

Not sure what is on deck today but whatever it is, it's going to be a struggle for me today. One hour at a time...

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

Good Morning and HAPPY JULY 4TH to all my American friends.

Jess and Adena...kick butt on the marathon!

Carmel.....yayyyyy girl...the scale is moving...way to go! Keep up the good work!

Summer...I have to force myself to eat sometimes too...its the opposite of how I used to be..but I'm not complaining...good for you for staying on track.

Sandy....today is a new beginning....embrace it!

Sassi...have fun at your party...stay on track...you can do it!

Buffy, Speedy, Blazing...have a great day

As for me here in Canada...just another day...we had our Canada Day Celebration on July 1st. A friend of mine from Edmonton is coming to visit for the afternoon/evening, I was going to take her to dinner, but I think we will enjoy sitting out on the deck and I will make a nice chicken salad and some Dom's Cheesecake for dessert.

Have a good one everyone...take care and be good.

Happy 4th of July to everyone!


Today we are having a barbecue, playing some volleyball and soccer and watching the fireworks tonight. I already planned ahead and while everyone else's ribs are marinating in BBQ sauce, mine are set off to the side marinating in a "legal" concoction. And while everyone else is having corn and potatoes I will be having roasted peppers and zucchini.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. See you tomorrow. Jess good luck on your marathon it is quite an accomplishment kudos

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

Happy 4th of July, everybody!

Great message, Jess--Way to go on the marathon!

I think I have to clean my daughter's room so we can get some new furniture in there. Yes, it's working on a holiday, but it will be so worth it to get her room looking good in time for her birthday Saturday. On 7-7-07 she'll be 13.
