Re: ROLL CALL Tues 8/21

Good Morning People.

I will try to listen to my body. I have been having a problem eating enough. I need to feed my body in order to loose but not feeling well or having an appetite has me feeling worse.

Today I will try to eat several small meals and hopefully that will take care of my sour stomach.

Peace

Julie

Hi everybody!

Great to see you all here. I'm back from my trip and finally caught up on sleep from the weekend. I stayed up way too late and got up way too early, holy cow was I tired.
But this morning I am ready to head to my sin6 workout!

hope you all have a good day!

Good Morning STACers,

I spent 45 min. on my treadmill yesterday (yay me) and have ingested not one drop of coffee today. These are the two challenges I have put in front of myself. I am afraid I am hearing my body tell me, "ah, this is ok. this weight is ok to live with. I don't really have to exercise...." I need to tell it that "exercise IS necessary, I CAN do better with my health. I still need to learn this lifestyle completely" So, I am back on Induction, CLEAN. Then my plans are to move to OWL but to write down everything so I know exactly what I am adding to my diet and how it effects me.

We are coming to a busy time of year, and I don't want to forget to pay attention to the things that matter to me. It has been a great 4 months, but I want 4 more ...and 4 after that - and 4 more after that..............

Re: ROLL CALL Tues 8/21

once again jess, you have nailed me...i have been thinking about what i really want. i am at home right now, in texas, visiting family and friends, and i have faced some challenges that have launched me into some deep thinking about my life choices...what am i willing to do to be successful and happy in all areas of my life... something i struggle with is the listening aspect...i listen to my body, i just don't always take the time to hear it...i get in my head about taking a rest day from exercise and convince myself not to, even though that puts me back...and ultimately, leads to me quitting...not doing anything, for a long time, and then having to find the motivation to climb back on...not any more! my focus now is on maintenance...those daily habits that keep me healthy and moving in a positive direction...i am worth it. i want it. and it's all within my power. my mantra for now is this: "my life is changing...because i am changing it." i am really happy that i am in charge of me...i am really pleased that i am taking care of my self...i am really thrilled to know the womyn that is emerging from within...

thanks so much for being here jess. i appreciate you, your struggles and successes, and the way you so openly and honestly share your self. i am grateful for you in my life.

Good morning (or afternoon)!

Today is my 6 month anniversary from when I started Atkins.

I've lost 57 pounds, 74 inches and some health problems. I've lost 10 inches each around my waist and hips.

I'm on my 4th week of OWL, and listening to my body is very important. Some dairy products give me headaches and sinus problems, so figuring that out and eliminating problem foods will save me problems in the future.

Have a great day, I'm on to the NEXT six months!

Re: ROLL CALL Tues 8/21

Gosh, if I listened to my body, I'd stay in bed all day and eat bon bons..
I don't trust my body, or my head... have to make myself do the right thing and then lo and behold I feel great! Maybe in time I'll have a better relationship with myself... and my body will want what's best for it... in the mean time I need this forum and the Atkins book to steer me in the right direction. I remember listening to my body telling me I need carbs... boy that was a lie.
First thought on waking up... gotta go run! ha! Got my C25k in first thing... yeah! Then took my son to the doctor... who is making him take the rest of the week off after that loss of consciousness episode playing football last week... somehow it's my fault so he hates me now... Praying for strength and wisdom as a parent today... Sometimes they hate you. right? Gonna stick to my guns on that one too and do what's right and make him rest and recover properly... fortunately he has no lingering symptoms but getting back in too soon could be deadly.. he'll get over it. This is going to be a stressful year with him playing football so glad I have this WOE/WOL to counter the stress.

That's not your body, Liz--that's your mind and emotions! I know what you speak of, I'd like to do that some days, too.

I'm glad your son is not showing more symptoms, sorry for the grief he's giving you. I guess whopping him on the head isn't the best plan right now, huh? He'll appreciate you in time, just stay strong and remember the little boy who adored you is still in there somewhere. Stay strong!

Re: ROLL CALL Tues 8/21

Well im sort of in a grump today, due to only having lost 1lb on my 2nd week of Induction. I think its because ive not been eating enough fat, so will bump up the butter and buy streaky bacon this week and see if it has any effect.

Re: ROLL CALL Tues 8/21

Afternoon all. My body is telling me to take things one day at a time and to put it all in perspective of the bigger picture. Everything that happens day to day is small in relation to where I see myself in a year.

My body says, do what you can to get us there, and I'm listening.

One foot on front of the other is all I can manage at this point in time. Any more and I'd fall on my face.

Water is my current nemisis. I can't seem to get enough in. I'm thinking about taping the hose to my mouth!!

Have a great day everyone!
