Thursday Morning Roll Call

[partytrouble]

Am I blind, or no roll call yet today? C'MON yall, check in! Post! Chat! This seems wierd....

But ANYWAY, hope you are all well. Monsoon season has started here, and it is humid and muggy all day long....kind of a nice change from the dry 118 degree sun, but add humidity to that and it sort of takes the fun out of being outside!

Have been big exercise slacker this week. But eating right. How are yall?

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Good Morning STAC'rs.

Wow. I have discovered something. Here it is, oh, day 4 of my re-induction....for the 5th time. haha.

What I did different this time. Strict - Clean. Re-Read the book.

Major exercise. Running and walking. Small weight lifting.

Fought all week to not get on the scales. Got on this morning.....

10 Pounds!!!!! I've been fighting 14 pounds + - since kicking the caffiene.

Excellent.......I am starting to feel the old energy coming back, energy without use of caffiene.

Thank you Julie!!! She's a real sweetheart, and both her and Joy (validrouge) have told me many times that exercise is the key....boy is it ever.

I had 2 gigs yesterday, I apologize for not checking in.....hope everyone is having a great day.

It's a wonderful feeling discovering where you were messing up and what was causing the problem. It appears at my age, (45) I'm only going to lose so much weight without a major exercise regime. If I want to eat some of those things that are stalling me, or making me lose slowly, I'm going to have to 'earn' them.
Have a wonderful day.....Scooooooooooooter Out!!

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Party, get to you exercise, girl! I hear ya on the heat (although we've only hit 107 and not your 11.

Scooter, great job, man! Did you lose 10 pounds or 4 pounds since you rereinducted? Yep, exercise is totally the key...such a lesson I learned from the gals you mentioned and Julie (who's on vacation).

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Good morning, all. I was up, ate breakfast and started writing in my own journal. Then I got tired and crashed for a while longer. Brother just called wondering/hoping we're going to get rain and asked me to check out the radar. So I'm up for the day again.

I hear you, Scooter. I do well during the day until suppertime, then my choices aren't very good. AND I haven't been working out either, been so focused on other things. GOT to finish two main things up so I can allow workouts again without different monkeys on my back. Different changes are happening slowly, some habits have been more of a trick to develop. Man, I need the routine of a job again! However, I do keep feeling better and there are still little positive changes happening. So maybe it's all just a matter of time...

Thanks for the thread, Partytrouble...

Mornin all

Well my a/c repairman comes this morning...Thank Goodness! So, I will be less grumpy...hopefully...lol.

Scooter, way to go on the strict reinduction, exercise and resulting weightloss!

Seems all who have posted this morning have exercise issues. Guess we all need to get our butts in gear on a regular basis.

Have a good one everyone...Stay Legal Peoples!!!

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Hello all! Another day another dollar. Checking in, I wonder how many people know the importance of checking in? It seems, making it a priority to be here everyday is what adds to my strength and willingness to stay on track.

[Scooterjam]

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Yup!! Acutally I've lost 10 pounds....another 4 and I'll be back where I started. Here to losing more (lifting water bottle).

Hey......yikes....I just noticed.....where the heck is everybody?

Haha!

I have 12 butternut squash in my garden.....and I can't have them until rung 8.....the things we have to go through. lol.

Stupid squash anyway. haha

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Hi all! Partytrouble, where exactly is the Sonoran Desert? Sure don't feel like moving when it's muggy and humid out, but I live in the same conditions, it's like moving underwater at times.

So happy for you Scooter!! Ten pounds gone! I actually changed the batteries in my scales this morning, just in case... quess what? They didn't need changing! But, I did lose an inch off my waist.

Take care today everyone.

[hopejoy]

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Hey everyone! Scooter! Whoa! 10 lbs! great job! I'll take the squash! ha! not really as I'm not there yet either! otherwise I'm sure you'd send it right over! You could probably send it to Julie.
Well, had a better night of drinking last night at work... water ya know....
and was rewarded by 1 lb loss this am... out of the 190's yippie! I'll take it!
Today will be a tough day for me... am planning for success and will be good!
I've descovered the Atkin's bars lately... OMG! the ones I've had are sooo good. Bought some more yesterday... will not go crazy on them I promise...
Yesterday's workout on stationary bike with comedy on was awesome... LMAO!

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Look at all the vibes stirred up in here today....Exercise and posting are the two most valuable tools I have....Both have made such a huge difference in my life, especially posting....
Exercise when you are very very overweight and out of shape is a painful thing that must be endured for a long time before one gets comfortable and capable, or was that just me....Non-weight baring ways of exercise are the best, bikes, swimming, and then walking and finally jogging or tennis type things....
It took me a long time to get past enduring to enjoying...NOW I ALWAY LOVED THE HIGH, and to this day it's what I look for!!!!
Posting I could do heavy or light....Coming here every day and repeating over and over what I was in this for, helped me and the community I met here was so much better than any thing....There is a wealth of knowledge experience and fun to be had....
Sonora Desert is somewhere in arizona, i think if memory serves me

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Yup, guilty as charged. Exercise is lacking in my regiment as well. Bad bad girl. I have every intent to get back to it now that the musical is up and running. I will be away this weekend and will squeeze in some form of exercise but on Monday I will set the standard and WILL make a habit of it.

Scooter - your reinduction tempts me to try the same. If the exercise doesn't take me out of the 180s I am going to give it a try.

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Morning all. Just restarted yesterday. Trying to deal with the Exercise issue. Jesse hit on the nose. Just trying to endure. I just seem to dread it so much. I remember a time when I would get up at 4:00 to run, just because. Not because I was training for anything, not because I was losing weight. But because I love how it made me feel free. One day, it will be like that again. For now, I am stretching...

Congrats to Scooter for his weight loss... and to Jesse I am so jeolous of the way you look- you go girl!!!

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Sorry ahead of time for the VERY long post:

I know why I’m feeling blah.! It’s not the diet. It’s me being mad at hubby for volunteering to coach a college baseball team which is taking many of his hours. He is gone a lot at night. Now, tomorrow he is traveling with the team Fri-Tues for the college world series. I know that sounds selfish of me, but he just got done coaching for 4 teams AT THE SAME TIME for the past 3 years and was gone all the time…granted they were for our kids, but I became a single mom. Even after the baby was born 2 years ago, he coached all the time. So he surprised me 2 weeks ago when he told me that he and the boys were going to take a break from baseball for the summer and fall, and then start back up in Jan...i was so happy when he told me this. Then 4 days later he said his BF asked him to help him with the college team he is coaching, and my husband just can’t say NO>>>>>>>


ARRRGGGHHHH….. so once again I go back to playing single mom with NO BREAK.



I just had to vent, cuz these are tough times for me and I really want to cheat for sympathy for myself ( I am a sympathy eater) I have not cheated yet, so I will need some help and encouragement over this long weekend.



I’M SO MAD AT HIM….cuz he gets to get away for 5 days and travel and have fun…all expenses paid, and I get to stay home a deal with all the kids……I REALLY NEED A BREAK.



Signed…feeling left out


Maybe i should call:



p.s. Scooter you are right about earning what you eat, exercize can definatly get you that earn point....
