    Good Morning Everyone! Being Bold here and starting us off for today!

    It's Friday which means we are all preparing for the "big weekend" for those of us in the US. Generally it means parties gatherings picnics and drinking ....... lots of temptations out there! Remember to "stick to your guns" , "Keep you eye on the prize" , " Keep going towards your goal" or "Keep on Keeping on" What ever Mantra speaks to you .......... hold on to it and be strong! Getting through a holiday with no slips is a huge success mark for any of us!

    Lets make it a Mini challenge! We WILL make it through this weekend with no slips .......... Live atkins and Live it well Folks!!!!!

    On the side I have a prayer request ....... I know you don't know me well and I hope it's ok to ask here. I have no clue what your faith may be but whatever you choose to believe or follow we would love all positive thoughts and prayers coming our way today. My daughter Courtney is pregnant with a precious baby girl ( due Dec 25th) At her last US they discovered that she has multiple cysts on her brain and a very large pocket of fluid as well. There is great concern at this point and really we don't know much except that they told her to wait till today and to know she has options ......... We have been believeing and praying for a miracle for her for 6 weeks now and today is the big day where we get a second US and then talk to the docs about what to expect for her future. We are going in expecting a miracle and that the cysts and fluid will be shrinking or even best yet GONE!!!!! If you share our faith I would ask for your prayers too. For strength for whatever we face, and for a miracle!

    Thank-you so much!

    Have a beautiful Atkins day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Good morning everyone!

      Today is my 1st day of Induction, and my third time on Atkins. I won't bore you with my excuses for quiting the other times, because they would be pretty lame since it was working! But anywho...I'm in need more than ever..so...here I am!

      Thanks for the motivating start today Heidi!
      My thoughts are with you and your family today!

        Heidi - MANY prayers going up for your family !! Please keep us posted and give your daughter a hug from your other family here at ADBB.

        Today started way too early again, for those that don't know me I am not a morning person - our neighbors 5 year old stayed the night (she is a single mom and had something to do late last night, so it was just easier for him to stay here) - we love him dearly and my 13 year old babies him because he is the little brother he never had..........but it is still very different considering my baby is 13.

        Anyway she came and got him early - I did put a pork roast in the crock pot and made up my own stuff by putting in mushrooms, onion and cabbage. I told my husband I don't know what it will taste like, but it is dinner !!

        I have few errands to run and schooling our son but it won't be as long of a day as yesterday.

        Last night I took son to a meeting of a group that he may join and they had all kinds of illegal foods -- I didn't eat a bite but some of it was screaming my name (can you believe my son stood right next to me and ate a HUGE piece of chocolate cake and he is still living LOL) I am very happy because the old me would have had some of it in a heartbeat. I thought the cravings were gone but I was out all day and out of my routine (water, my food, etc) and it was very tempting. Thank God and my desire to make this my way of life, I didn't eat a thing !!!

        Wishing you all a VERY blessed and wonderful Atkins day !!

          Good Morning Fellow STACers. Prayers to you and yours, Heidi. Good vibes to all. Need to cut this one short this morning, got lots of work not to mention the boss's boss, and the boss's boss's boss's boss...(don't try to figure it out, suffice to say the Regional Director and the Division Director) are coming for a visit today.

          I will be completing week three of my exercise regimine today and that makes me feel good. Now to shoot for week four, and add Tuesday and Thursday cardio to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday weight training and cardio I'm already doing.

          Live Atkins and live it WELL! (Good Mantra...thanks Heidi)
          Drink more water!

            Good morning STACers.

            I wish you all the best Heidi, for you and your entire family. I know anything said here will seem silly in comparison to your current situation but just keep the faith that everything will end as it is intended. I'm a firm believer in that. I hope all goes well with the next u/s. I can think of so many stories I've experienced with u/s's (I used to work at an ob/gyn) and most of the time, everything has worked out fine. I hope that is the case with your daughter.

            I hope everyone has a great Friday and enjoys their weekend! We have a pot luck picnic coming up on the 6th at the kids school. Everyone is supposed to bring their own dish to share. I wonder how many Atkins friendly dishes there will be, lol. I think I'll just cook here and eat with the kids and pop in a little later all full and not tempted.

              Good morning!

              Heidi - I included your daughter in my morning prayers. May she have complete healing.

              This morning I got up at the crack of 4:45 to go for my run. Here's the deal: I started running on, like, August 4. The Couch to 5k thing. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. Today I ran 1 1/2 miles without stopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it felt GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

              So anyway, I'm thrilled, and floating on air, and life is very, very good.

              Yesterday I started the second rung of OWL and had a cup of cottage cheese before bed, which was yummy. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm.
              I hate having to wait until tomorrow to have some more! Cottage Cheese is one of my absolute favorite foods in the world - weird, huh!

              I have today to finish putting together my classroom, and then a long weekend, and you can bet I'm not going to be like some other teachers and work on things this weekend - this is MY time. I'm going to go for a long walk at the beach, organize the kitchen, and read a good book. And exercise, of course!

              So yeah, I'm up for a cheat-free challenge. No sweat! Let's do it!
              Start date: 7/29/2007

              Scale: SW:235 CW:193

                Good morning!
                I will certainly keep your daughter in my thoughts and prayers.

                Still no liquid sweetner. I was sure that Evermind's letter would scare them into hand delivering it to me, but sadly, that was not to be. I hope it arrives today before the holiday weekend.

                Have a great weekend everyone. No cheating. Show everyone that you're not even tempted by their carbage!

                  Good morning all!

                  Tomorrow is my official start date but I am still being good today…not gonna do the whole last day before diet binge thing. I am already in ketosis and plan to stay that way!

                  Hedi - My prayers are with you and your family today! I once had a ct scan show something that the doctors thought was a tumor. My family and I prayed nonstop until my next appointment and I was told it must have just been a blur on the scan the first time. So I for one am a firm believer in the power of prayer.

                    Good Morning STACers! Heid your family is in my thougths today. Going into this weekend doesn't scare me in the least, I just called and ordered a bushel of crabs for Sunday and have good friends and good family coming over to share them with me. The only thing that I might really struggle with is the smell of a fresh cut watermelon, that one almost got me a few weeks ago at a cookout.

                    Evermind-Its amazing to see how much you have accomplished in such a short time, keep up the good work.

                    Sheepie-Sorry about the liquid slenda, maybe we should send a STAC posse to their door.

                    Bykerdruid-Way to go, 3 weeks down on your exercise program.

                    Congrats to everybody else for making good choices, starting new regimines and just holding the course. Have a great weekend!

                      Happy Friday STAC'ers.

                      I'm a Bear this AM. Hubby is home for the holiday and he is iritating. I just want to go back to bed. I have a muscle spasm on my shoulder/neck area that has been hurting since 3 am and it is making me grouchy.

                      Heidi- I am thinking of you and your daughter. I hope the best for you.

                            Well, I'm here again today. This is day 12 on induction and I have absolutely no cravings. As a matter of fact, since yesterday absolutely nothing even sounds good. I know that I need to eat, but it's getting hard to choke anything down. I'm not hungry and I feel like I hate food. This is very strange.

                              Checking in a bit late this morning.

                              Heidi...you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as well. Please keep us posted of the results.

                              Well, its Friday and a long weekend. Spending it alone. Not really keen on all this alone time I've had lately. Oh well, it is what it is!

                              No problem for me to eat Atkins friendly, no problem to drink the water or take my vitamins. Going to do what I can to get more exercise in this weekend. Been really struggling with that and procrastinating and having to force myself to do it.

                              I'm on an emotional rollercoaster these days...up and down up and down. This pre-menopause stuff is really doing a number on me. Sheesh.

                              Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
