    TUESDAY Morning Roll Call

    Wow...where is everyone?

    I almost posted today in the Monday roll call then noticed it said Monday and went back to look for Tuesday a few times...shocked nobody has started it yet...so its me.

    Goooooooood Morning!

    Hope everyone slept well and is ready for a productive day!

    Well, I bit the bullet last night and joined the Beginner: Couch to 5 K Challenge. But, before I joined I went down and did Week 1 Day 1 on my treadmill to make sure I could actually do this challenge. So, I stretched then I walked briskly for 5 minutes then I alternated jogging for 60 seconds with walking for 90 seconds and I did that for 20 minutes.

    I couldn't believe I actually did it! I was shocked and pumped.

    So, my question is, what have you done that you never thought you could do since starting Atkins?

    Have a great day my friends.

    I'm here!

    Congrats, Sweet, on starting the Couch to 5k--wow! Good luck!

    What have I done since starting Atkins that I never thought I could do? That answer would be "starting Atkins" I fell into the trap of "I'm too stressed, I have too much to do, too many people to take care of to concentrate on me." I just finally got sick of feeling miserable and decided that the only way I could take care of my family the way I wanted to, was to take care of me, too! What a happier person (and mommy and wife) I have become. The best part is others are starting to notice too

    Have a great week, kiddies!

        Geez, your right hardly anyone out today!

        Congrats, Sweet!! Way to get pumped.

        I guess what I have done that I did't think I could do is stay on track with a challenge. Exercising on a regular basis just seemed like such an ordeal. I am getting better at it.

          Good Morning Sweetstrudel, Bluegrassmama,Terry,Gem238 and all those I miss today. That is such a wonderful question Strudel! Where do I begin, there are so many things I do now that couldn't or wouldn't do before. The one thing that really stands out is the first year I was on atkins and lost 100 lbs in 10 months, it was summer and my lawn desperately needed mowed. I told myself I could do it. It had been years since I had done so. I went out,gassed up my push mower,fired it up and mowed my whole yard which takes a good hour and a half to do. I was so proud of myself. Three years later I continue to mow it. Wishing everyone a great Tuesday. Don't forget to get all your water in, chug-a-lug!

            <yawn> G'morning.......................

            I just woke up and feel heavy and sluggish. Today is a rest day for me in terms of exercise, which is probably a good thing. I can't account for any other reason why I might be this blah.

            So anyway...........got errands to run today, etc. etc. And I think I'm going to go join the gym again today.

            What have I been able to do since I started Atkins that I have never been able to do? Hmmmm. Eat healthy. Eat healthy consistently. Lose weight easily.
            Start date: 7/29/2007

            Scale: SW:235 CW:193
            GW:150

            Tape Measure: I've lost 42.5 inches as of 3/15/2008

            Mini goals:
            215 - met 9/10/07
            205 - met 10/17/07
            195 - met 2/20/08
            180

            I survived a two-month stall!

              Morning everyone!
              Woke up with a headache this am... busy night at work and up too late... feels like a hangover but it's not. Tried going back to sleep but couldn't so got up and weighed... it was going back and forth between a 1-2 lb loss.... yeah! What headache? Suddendly all is good in the world! lol!
              I am so thankful that I have such endurance now like I haven't had for a while! What I am able to do now? well, eat healthy without depending on carbs for my emotional or physical well being... (they were a big disappointment anyways) and stay on this WOE for 3 months now (as of yesterday) and be okay not losing a ton of weight every week... see the long term, big picture and be able to accept that this will take a while and that's okay as we're going for permanent wt loss not just a temporary diet!
              Good thread! Hope you all have a great day!
