Re: Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning everyone!

I'm on vacation all of this week and it's great not to think about work. I haven't done this for a long, long time.

Great start this morning. I too enjoy reading y'all's thoughts. I feel like I know you all, but we've never met face to face.

Anyway, my thoughts on the sweating are that the body is detoxing from all of the carbs and also converting to a ketogenic burn. (sound good, doesn't it?) I'm not a Dr, I just play one on tv. hee

Drink lots of water, this is just your body readjusting. It's a good, temporary state.

I'm glad to be here with you guys!

Have an awesome day!!

Re: Thursday Roll Call

Another one I need to make for myself are cheese chips: shredded cheese nuked and broken up. They'll replace the potato chips that my family lives on. Something you could have in a baggie.

It's been so long since I was on induction that I forgot about those! Great idea - it does give you that crunchy snack thing. I have to put them in individually baggies, though, or I will definitely eat more than the alloted amount! (Remember that Lay's commercial - can't eat just one?)


Buffy - when we are this open with one another, how could we feel any other way? My best support system is this board! Not that I don't get support from my family, but only Atkineers really understand, ya know?

Re: Thursday Roll Call

Obkbbby--I always brought finger foods for lunch because of the same reasons! My favorite veggie to bring was a bell pepper (usually red or yellow) cut into strips. I ate them plain, as they're so tasty on their own. If I made grilled chicken for dinner the night before, I'd wrap any extra breasts in foil and take one to work. I eat it right out of the foil so my hands don't get dirty. Individually wrapped cheesesticks are great too. You can also take pepperoni, hardboiled eggs, other sliced veggies (like celery and cauliflower) with ranch. If you don't have little rubbermaid/tupperware containers for ranch, just pour some in a sandwich or snack baggie. That way it lays flat, and you can throw it away when your'e done.

Well it's going to be another hot one here today, over 100 degrees. I'm planning on going for a short run this morning before the heat of the day sets in, and I'm planning on doing my main workout this evening. I'm going to walk to the gym and do upper body strength training, then go to yoga class. I *might* also sit outside in my bikini <ahhh!> and try to tan up my ghost-white stomach.

I've been drinking almost 2 gallons of water these past few days, and I think I'm STILL dehydrated!

Good Morning Everyone!

Today we are off to Huntington Beach. I don't exactly have my idea "beach body" yet but I am looking forward to going all the same because I get to spend time with my daughter and husband.

The 4th went great food wise, I stayed on track which is a big obstacle for me when I am around BBQ ribs, potatoes and all that other stuff! I am finally starting to see the scale go down again. Boy those cheats over vacation last month WERE NOT WORTH IT. I am finding out it takes me longer each time I fall off the wagon to get back to the point where I am losing again.

Funny thing mentioning the leg cramps today. I had to jump out of bed in a hurry this morning as one hit my calf just as I was waking up. What a rude awakening. I guess I am going to have to get me some potassium.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Sandy keep hanging in there and keep fighting the good fight. You can make it.

Re: Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning, All...

Have had a productive morning so far... walked 3.5 miles, completed 200 crunches, 100 bridges (butt lift/squeezes), and 50 side leg raises on each side. Whew! Feels great...

Yesterday marked Day 130 cheat-free for me (haven't cheated a single time this go round!). Feels great...

Wishing all of you a great Atkins day so you can feel great, too.

Re: Thursday Roll Call

what is DOM's cheesecake?

Here you go:

8 oz heavy whipping cream
8 oz cream cheese - softened
8 oz sour cream
1/2 cup splenda
1 tsp vanilla

Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set asside
Mix the rest of the ingredients until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.

This makes 12 servings (divide equally between 12 foil muffin cups or 12 fluted glasses) @ >3 g. carbs per serving.

Good right out of the bowl, very good chilled, and can be frozen.

Thank you so much, Cheri! I've been pretty motivated so far this time around, and it's been paying off. And since I am participating in Julie's Labor Day Challenge, I feel even more motivated now.

Thanks again for the acknowledgment... I appreciate you!

I meant to sign up for Julie's challenge, but I haven't been around much lately. Instead, I think I'll create my own personal cheat-free challenge! Start small - maybe the rest of July? Think that sounds good?

Here's a bit of trivia I heard this morning. A swimming suit is not a true bikini unless you can pull it through a wedding ring...
