Re: Wednesday Morning Roll Call

What a wonderful and inspirational post to start! Just what I needed to be reminded of. Thanks. Jess, you are so right on with the No pills for me.

Scoot- Gratz on the 5 pounder, baby! Woo-hoo!

Sandy- Don't let those insurance folks get you down. You will win in the end! Is the broccoli salad recipe posted somewhere? It's mention made me drool.

Sandy - isn't 120/66 good!!! WTH is wrong with these people!!!

Sounds like they need a good smacking around. You want me to fly down there and beat them up. (My favorite movie of all time....... 'I'll Make Them An Offer They Can't Refuse.....')

LOL - Just trying to make you smile!!

Thanks for the gratz. I think it's your broccoli salad....haha, I'm addicted to it.

Hi everyone

I am here and happy to report that Day 4 was cheat free! And I fit into a pair of capris that did not fit me 2 weeks ago!

Day 5 is going well here on induction. I had 3 scrambled eggs with some sausage for breakfast and 3 hot wing for llunch with 2 T. of ranch. I must be in ketosis or real close to it since I ahve no appetite! WOOT!

Since we jsut moved I ahve nto found my testing strips but I have a pretty good idea what box they are in and plant to try and dig them out tomorrow.

Ok off to do some more recipe hunting

Have a great low carb day!

I think it's fast and easy to cut up, but my store does sell just the little flowerets, not the big ones. I like them small, so I would cut them some more.

Sandy, I'm a little confused about the insurance. Are you down to the weight that you need to be to be covered? If so, no problem, right? If not, why are they doing this double-check? If your numbers are good, might they cover you anyway? What a pain!

Re: Wednesday Morning Roll Call

Well, it's not morning any more where I am, but good day anyway. This post and the comments sure does provoke the thought process. All the positives are something to look forward to as I move that direction. I hope my weighloss success is a downward spiral. I vowed to my daughter to start walking the track today as the first week of induction and TOM are now out of the way. < what a double whammy. But now I feel so good I feel like I took a pill. WOW.
Congrats to those who are acheiving much success. For those who are struggling, my thoughts are with you, sincerely. I hope that your frustration will propel you forward.
Looking for the brocolli salad recipe.

Re: Wednesday Morning Roll Call

Hello Everyone,

This WOE puts such a good spin on life all around how can it not help but be a positive effect on everyone around us? We are:

Happy to be in control of our diet
Energized by feeling so good
Example setters for those who want to try this WOL
Empowered by self confidence
Stronger both physically and mentally ever day
Less consumed by our insecurities
More focused on what really matters in life instead of food
No longer addicted to sugar and the feelings and behaviors that addiction brings.

I could go on and on but you get the idea. Because we feel better about ourselves we can focus more attention to those people we cross paths with in our lives.

Have a great day and do good for yourself AND others!

Re: Wednesday Morning Roll Call

Good Morning,

Everything is ok in inductionville. This is my ninth day and I am looking forward to my weigh-in now that I am over the half way point. We are having a little trouble here in our house. My daughter has had a huge attitude since yesterday and she and my husband are butting heads. He is retired military and can be a little, shall we say harsh and she is stubborn and bullheaded so it makes for a nice mix around here. I am feeling a bit of stress but the funny thing is I haven't wanted to stuff my face with oreo's or potato chips.

Buffy you made me laugh and I really needed that this morning. You are a character.

Scooter...congratulations on the weight loss that is awesome.

Sandy....I feel like do'in some smack'in right now let me att'em

Party....loved the post. I like to be challenged.

Blaze....good to hear that you can start some exercising.

Jess...have a great day and you right about those pills. Nasty business they are.

To everyone else have a wonderful day and forgive me if I missed you. I will catch you on the next one.

Deb

I asked this today.. He said Because I am switching from a Universal Life to a Term they have to do a physical on me.. I have had the insurance for 6 years.. I wanted to get out of the Universal stuff cause its based on the Stock Market...

Today (they just left) they said I got the Standard rate.. Which is a better rate then my husband..which is good..

So supposedly my rate hasn't changed.. Now get this.. I am covered for $100,000 at $35 something...for 30 years. My husband has $100,000 for $93 something for 20 years.. But go figure at who is the healthy one and who isn't...Oh there is ONLY a 2 year age difference...

Looks to me they're considering him more high risk than you.

Or am I reading that incorrectly?
