Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Congrats Sandy on being so strong. Weekends and emotional times are toughest on me. This week has been very challenging, but I'm pushing through like a trooper. I hope next week is better.

Good morning Jess....thanks for motivating me to push it on the bike, I did 8.7 miles last night. I realized I only had 11 days left to complete my goal of 125, so i'm turning it up. I get my stiches out Wednesday, I'm so happy : )

Hope everyone has an awesome Friday and a no cheat weekend.....Michelle.

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Good morning, had a good day yesterday. My work team is going to be GREAT. Now if I can only get my s*** together and exercise my life would be even better. Its one of those things that is a little voice nagging me, I better start listening. I won't be working late tonight so thats a big plus. Once again and for the last time I will exercise tonight.

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Ooops, I forgot to talk about me. The scales went the wrong way! I ate more veggies, I wasn't careful enough with the Ranch and may have had over 20 carbs. I'm gonna mix up my own dressing made with mayo next time. I did get my walking done, and it wasn't so bad after a day off from it. I'm puffy and dinner is still with me so that probably has more to with the scales than any dieting mistakes.

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Hey Rita, girl you are doing gooooood... A mistake is a mistake the first time! We all have learned by our mistakes....they have been a great tool in my life. The "puffy's " come and go, just keep your focus on achieving daily routines that work for you. Good amounts of water, foods and exercise....just work on that, and sustaining these efforts. Soon the weight will take care of it'sself...At one point on the journey, it's the least of your issues.....
Hope you have a great weekend....your home made ranch dressing will be great!

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Good morning everyone!

Great job Sandy! I was looking longingly at some sugar-free chocolate last night, but I managed to avoid it.. I'm sorry that your step mom was such @#$%^.

I've been hearing a lot about fish on a plank, so last night I bought some cedar grilling planks. I can't wait to try it this weekend. Has anyone else here done it? Can't wait!

This morning on the radio they were talking about fondue. It got me thinking. I think I see a beef fondue in my future. With a mustard sauce and a teriyaki sauce and a horseradish sauce. Cheese fondue usually takes some cornstarch, so I'll have to find a way around that. I foresee cheese fondue with pieces of cauliflower, broccoli, muchrooms. I don't foresee chocolate fondue, unless maybe I could dip strawberries in chocolatey whipped cream. I'll have to give that one some more thought. Does sugar-free chocolate melt normally? Hmmm. Why not use cocoa powder and Splenda somehow. Oh, are you still there? I was just talking to myself!!!!! LOL!!

Have a great Friday and great weekend.

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Good Morning,

Good for you Sandy, weigh to go! Last time I was successful on this WOE my daughter was a HUGE supporter. She and my son were so proud of me. Quiet often she was the little good angel sitting on my shoulder when I wavered on my food choices. She was a driving force for regular visits to Curves. I used to credit her for a large part of my success. Since I fell off the wagon her faith has been shaken and she no longer fills the role of "food police" for me. That's ok. I am in this for myself this time and I take full responsibility but I know she will be proud of me as I stick with this for the second time around. (and I admit there is a degree of motivation in that as well)

Have a fantastic atkins legal weekend All!
Candy

Mornin Everyone

Great Job Sandy....and everyone else in this group. We are all doing well!

Not too big of a day today, gotta get out and water my plants this morning before it gets too hot...I think I can hear them wilting as I type...sheesh.

Ptobably hit the mall today with my daughter. Get some walking in.

I made stuffed green peppers last night. They were good. Haven't had them in years. Problem is I think I ate dinner way to late last night. You know it was one of those days that you don't get a chance to eat until late, then its bedtime...Not Good!

My eldest daughter had a laundry incident yesterday. A ballpoint pen accidently got missed when she put a load of clothes in the dryer and boom it exploded with ink everywhere in the dryer and on that load of clothes...

.

So, she came to mom's house to do the rest of her laundry. Her and her fiance are going camping today and she needed to get it done. Anyone else ever done that?

Well, its a mess but there are suggestions on the internet as to how to get it off. They will tackle that when they return.

Stay Legal everyone. Talk to ya'll on the weekend.

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Good Morning Everyone! I havn't posted here in a while but check in to see how everyone is doing each day. I'm still going strong, 48 cheat free days and am in Owl rung 3. Cleansed from caffeine, and am feeling really energized and focused. Sheepie, I was reading about your cheese fondue. You may want to try arrowroot powder to thicken it up. I love using arrowroot for thickening up sauces and gravies. Looks as though everyone is positive and doing great. Wishing all of you a wonderful and safe friday!

Re: Friday Roll Call July 20th

Good Morning Everyone

Sandy thanks for getting the roll call started this morning. I am really inspired by you and how you are overcoming life's every day obstacles that get thrown at us. Good for you for staying strong and resisiting the temptation. It is hard, but you did it!

Sweet Strudel...I giggled when I was reading your post remembering how my daughter would leave little presents of crayons in her clothing and we would wash and dry them. We also had a couple pens in our past too!

Sheepie...you got me thinking about fondue, I think I see it in my future too!

Tachie....congratulations 1 day down...you go !

Got my treadmilling in this morning! Yahoo! this is the longest I have ever stayed with it doing it every day. You guys are motivating me so much thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jess, Rita, Speedy, Tach Candy, Sherrie, Buffy and all those who come after me here! Have a wonderful day guys!!!!!!!!
