  • Thurday Morning - Roll Call

    Good Morning STAC'r's,

    Have you hugged someone today? Remember in life's hectic, day to day, ant's marching, people in every direction, make sure to stop along the way and smell the roses.

    Living this lifestyle is most definately a way to be nice to yourself and those around you. But don't get so caught up and stagnant to not stop and enjoy life along the way.

    The time we have on this tiny planet is short enough without remembering the good things and focus on positive energy to succeed and be happy.

    So, that being said, I think everybody should think, not to coin the phrase from Peter Pan, but I think we all need to remember, 'our happy thought'.

    Mine is playing music, when the lights go down, the drunks have gone home, the cigarette smoke clears, and the greasy nasty food smell is gone, the thing that makes me happy is that one lady who comes up and says, Scooter, my husband and I do not get out much, we're the stay at home type, but you made us want to stay here for 3 hours, we never do that, you are wonderful.

    Last night was crappy 'sloppy drunks' kind of night, after all that negative vibes, I reached out and touched one persons heart.......and that, my friends, made it all worth while, that's why I do what I do, the way I do it.

    Life is good. Have a great day, and tell me what your happy thought is!

    Scoooooooter out!
    Scooter







    Remember this everyday - Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen Today. If you live by that decree you will live life to the fullist.

    Good morning Scooter, everyone

    I hugged my DH today, does that count?

    I haven't been posting much, but I am here lurking...and I am still on track, although haven't lost anything more....but that's ok, it will happen!!

    I am off to Atlantic City for the rest of the weekend. We are celebrating my grandfather's 90th birthday, and that is what he wanted to do! AWESOME! I am looking forward to it, and hoping that I don't lose a mortgage payment

    Anyway, I have planned for this...have a cooler with some flax muffins, string cheese, low carb yogurt and sunflower seeds...so I know I will be alright! Plus, my mom gets "comped" everything, so we will be eating GOOD

    Have a great weekend everyone!!!

      Good Morning Everyone.. I haven't hugged anyone today they are still sleeping...lol

      But I am having major happy thoughts.. You know yesterday I woke up at 260...needing 1lb to hit the 250's and 1 lb to hit my 30 lb mark.. Well I woke up this morning and I am 258! Oh my gosh.. I wanted to scream and wake everyone up.. This is so encouraging and will help me stay on track this weekend when I go away..

      I sit and I look at the numbers..and I think..Oh wow...I am going to get in to the 240's, 230's, 220's.. At first it seemed impossible..and now I KNOW I am going to do it..

      Off to my water aerobics class this morning...Hope you all have a great day!

            Last night for dinner I ate 10 pieces of pizza! My 6yr old talked us into going to Cici's Pizza for dinner. You know Cici's, all you can eat pizza buffet. Little slices w just a little topping. I was so proud of myself! I scraped the toppings off and left the crusts behind. They probably put sugar in their red sauce, so I had mostly the buffalo chicken pizza. Yummy! Oh, and I had two salads too. My son loves that place and we usually refuse to go there because, well, because it's pizza.

            Yea Sandy! Great job. Like I say, losing weight is the best motivation for losing weight!

            Just yesterday I was telling someone not to have such negative thoughts and yet I can't think of my happy thought. I guess it would be like that little engine that could. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

              Great job on the pizza.. I have avoided places like that...mainly because I have never really liked the toppings...I am more of a crust person.. So I don't know that I could resist it..

                It was hard. I love the cheesy bread. The only thing that made it easier was that my dh got his food first and he cheated a little. After that, I knew that I had to show him up!!!!! So my motivation was not entirely pure! Evil Sheepie! LOL!

                  Pizza tops is a good happy thought! hehe, Sheepie I love those but can't have them too often I have a tendancy to over eat that. Happy thought hmmmmmmm laying in my bed on a rainey afternoon reading. Playing with my grandbaby. Helping people learn new skills to succeed in a new job. did not drink enough water yesterday, will do better today, ended up working until 9 last night so did not exercise but we're taking a group to the mall for a bonding exercise tonight so will be running around there. Should be fun. Have a GREAT day...Turtle Power

                    Well, I went to see a friend and we took the kids to McDonalds. Everyone ate but me. I had tuna at her house after. I did have a diet coke, I accidentally sipped my girl's and got afew swallows down before I realized it wasn't my drink. My daugher Gabby is a high functioning autistic child with ODD. She did great in church, my other daughter Cassy and Cassy's new friend Bethany were really stinking up the place. We all got home late and missed a meal except Gabby who was being good for a .59 little pizza to top off her cheat day. I wanted to cry several times in church and didn't. I've kept Gabby at home a lot, we go shopping but don't interact with groups of people. I found out its hard for me to go and say "Here's my girls, they are not even close to normal." Gabby ain't fooling anyone anytime by looking normal. Which is okay, She was Gabby but Gabby being good!!!

                    Scooter, YES! Keep playing!
                    Sandy, yeah the weight will come off! Really, no I mean REALLY!!



                    My starting weight was 235 lbs and I'm trying to get to 130 lbs.

                    1st mini goal: 145! met 12/09
                    2nd mini goal: 140!
                    3rd mini goal:135!
                    4th mini goal: 130!

                    I drink coffee. I drink when I am thirsty. I am just a low carber. Not on Atkins at all!!! He has everything to do with my weightloss and nothing to do with it, depending on who you ask.

                      Good morning! I hugged my dh today!!

                      Scooter - great message! That is so true. I have been MIA some this week because I have over-extended myself. Reminds me of an old Alabama song - "I'm in a hurry to get things done. I rush and rush until life's no fun. All I really gotta do is live and die but I'm in a hurry and don't know why."

                      Sandy - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Hi Sassi and speedy!

                      Sheepie - good for you!

                      Rita - what is normal? I mean really? My son is also autistic and we get funny looks, stares, ticked off people who don't like his noises - all kinds of stuff. I don't care. He's special, he's awesome, and I love him very much - and that's all that matters. I also teach students with multiple disabilities and we take pride at our school in fostering a relationship with all the students and they learn to care for and take care of each other. I figure I'm helping to bring up a new generation of caring, loving people who appreciate difference! Chin up, chica!!

                        Hello everyone!

                        Happy, Happy thought.

                        First off, I'm noticing all of you guys are planning your meals. Even when you are not at home you still find a way to take care of your WOE needs. Wow, what an inspiration.

                        Sassilee- way to plan for the fun
                        Rita- another planner with the tuna fish. And, how fortunate you are to have such a special gift like your girls. I can't have children of my own, but I had a happy thought hearing about your experience.
                        Sheep- thanks for the details of your experience. It just reinforces that I do the right thing when I'm at a pizza place
                        sheep- way to notice that you need more water!

                        And, Scoot, awesome thought. You touch us everyday with your inspirations, thanks!

                        My happy thought, I know I will get to my healthy self with this WOL. It has been slow, but, I feel happy when I sit back and know that this committment is for me. That everytime I choose a food I'm taking care of me. I'm seeing my body respond to the exercising and I'm noticing my new physical strength and it's really cool. I wish I could bottle my happy thought and sell it!

                        Have an awesome day,

                          Re: Thurday Morning - Roll Call

                          Congrats Sandy on the weight loss
                          I wish I could say the same, I didn't lose anything in inches or pounds

                          Well I have taken everyones advice and moved on up to OWL. I am also using Fitday. Can I ask whether this looks reasonable at the moment. I have just had lunch (remember I'm in the UK) and my fitday shows 66% fat, 28% protein and 5% carbs. What should my aim be, precentage wise?I tend to consume more carbs at dinner. I forced myself to have breakfast and I had a 2 egg omlette fried in butter and spread with cream cheese, YUM! Lunch was a tuna salad and dinner will be chicken fillets with mushrooms and broccoli. Does this sound better than before?

                          I also started weight training yesterday, so hopefully I ill shift those inches and pounds soon.

                          Hope everyone is having a brilliant day!

                            Scooter, thanks for the inspirational message...glad to see you made a couple happy.
                            I want to go to Atlantic City, heck i just want to get out of this town and away from everyone.
                            Sandy, you are doing so good, I was worried early last week, but I see now that you have jumped on the wagon and you are not going to fall off.
                            Sheepie -- I also eat pizza toppings and the sauce has never affected my weight loss....my family thinks i'm crazy when i do that.
                            Speedy, what is bonding exercise?
                            Celeste, sounds like you have your hands full...My BF has a 7 YO autistic child, he is wonderful in his own little world. Some people don't understand him, especially strangers, but if you got to know him, you'd fall in love with him...he is so smart, it blows my mind.

                            I feel so much postitive energy in this place, it is unreal. Today is a good day, despite TOM, it is still good. I worked late last night (12 hour shift) and still managed to throw 5 miles of the bike in, so i'm proud of myself for not just hitting the sack, and my scale moved 2 ounces down....

                            Hope everyone has a wonderful Atkins day...
