Happy Friday STACers! And what a beautiful thing that is.

I've had a very successful week and I'm very happy about that...no cheats and getting my water in EVERY DAY. I know I said it before, but I gotta get going on exercise. One of my staff is going to give me a workout I can do at home that she tells me is very beneficial (she's a fitness freak), so I'll be getting the details from her today and starting this weekend.

As I said yesterday, I'm so glad to be back. I'm beginning to shed that self-loathing thing and I don't want to 'sneak eat' (another problem that I just can't figure out). I KNOW I can do this; it's achievable, it's attainable and damn it, I feel great! I just need to hang on to these positive feelings; that's one reason why I need to be here everyday. Read everyone's feelings...understand how much we have in common...draw strength...pass on good thoughts and ideas. Wow. The power of 'we'.

Have a happy and successful day!

huggija we want you to be here every day. Many of us find real focus for this way of living coming here. Have you thought about starting a journal, where you can make friends and share your story, or Journal Stats, where you record your journey and nobody can write there but you!
There are so many wonderful people to meet, hang out with and take this journey with....make this a big part of your day, the support is great

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good morning! I need to find time to check in every morning, even if it's just for a minute! My mornings are a lot crazier now than last school year. Have to get up earlier, I think.

I haven't really lost weight, yet, because I haven't been drinking my water. So, got my 64 oz cup this morning to take to work! I have been walking, though. I joined the mileage challenge this month. Keep my honest!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good to check in and "hear" you again, Jess!

Good Morning STACers ........... It's a new day! And Friday to boot! What could be better ...........

I have a busy one on the books today , my fridge bit the dust yesterday and I have no clue why it's only three years old ...... and a very expensive one so today I have to call around find out about my warranty and get a repair guy here. I have the little Baby I am caring for as well as needing to take a road trip this afternoon to drop off my older kids at their fathers for the weekend ......... Somewhere in there I have a whole days worth of challenges to make up for from skipping last night ........... oh so dumb!

I was down another pound this morning so that definitly brightened my outlook! Now I just need to get my body as motivated as my mind is! LOL I'll fuel it first and then get busy! I Just had to come here and fuel my spirit before anything! Thanks for being here everyone!!!!!!!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good morning, everyone!

I LOVE Fridays. I have a whole week of being in the classroom to celebrate and reflect on, I know I can sleep late tomorrow, and (this doesn't happen every Friday) today my older dd is flying in to spend the weekend. We're all jazzed about that.

It's been a MUCH better week than last, mostly because of the reduction in homormonally-induced anxiety. Whew! Also because the longer, more stressful days came on Monday and Tuesday, instead of all thru the week. Whatever the reason, I'm feeling ever so much better.

I think (keep fingers crossed) that I'm moving out of the 9-day "hover phase" and will start losing again. If not tomorrow, then certainly by Monday.

I was going to go to the gym last night, but I came home to a very messy house, and I decided to take a long walk and then clean house instead. It felt GREAT. Everything is back in order, and there's something about organizing and cleaning a room or a closet that helps me organize and clean my mind - anyone have that?

cheribaby - I get up about 20 min. earlier so I can post here while I have coffee. It's worth it to me, because this place is like a shot of espresso to my soul............

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good Morning, went longer yesterday before I caved. Plan to get through the whole day today. withdrawl really stinks. It took me a couple of runs at it the last time before I really got going. A little shot of expresso......I love that phrase for something that gets you going and something you look forward to doing. Have a GREAT day. I plan to.
TURTLE POWER !!!!!!!!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good morning you wonderful people!

This morning I'm off to the doctor for immunizations for the baby. I know today and the weekend will be a nightmare because she took her last round of shots badly and was off for the whole week after she got them.

Wish me luck! I'll try to get back on a little later in the day if she naps but she'll probably be a cranky bottom. lol.

Have a great Friday!!!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good Morning! Well it is almost the weekend and I am going to be sooooooo
good! I went out to eat last night, Mexican, and got a Beef Taco Salad and did not eat the shell. I was so proud! I did use 2 chips for the hot sauce but did not eat a single one! WOOHOO!

Good luck with the fridge Heidi!

Have a great Friday!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

mornin folks i got no love from the scale today but i feel amazing. Last night went for a walk with my man and i was so pumped up. We walked briskly for an hour but i was not ready to go home yet. i love that feeling. And then to top it off i could not get to sleep and i woke up earlier too. i think the energy is my favorite side effect of the WOE. i just have a ton to spare. Walking around the neighborhood i saw all the folks with their halloween decorations up and i got a bit jealous. i need to get mine out and decorate. Maybe tomorrow. i think we are going on sunday to see about costumes Did i mention halloween is my favorite holiday? Got way over my 96 oz of water in yesterday and definitely did my exercise so i am feeling good about my first 5 days of october. Have a happy friday STACers!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Good Morning everyone. Getting here late, had my breakfast, my vitamins, and now my water. It's a beautiful day here already. I'm hating that it's getting dark out earlier, and earlier but looks like autumn is going to be a beauty here. I love the Halloween holiday it's so much fun.

Lisa, you don't look old enough to have grandkids.

Heidi, congrats on losing the pound.

Speedy it's good to see you again.

Here's to eveyone having a good Friday!

Re: Friday AM Roll Call 10/5

Hello everyone. I had my two eggs and tea and am getting ready to go out and check the pumpkins in the garden . I want to take them to the market this weekend to sell. I planted about 1/2 an acre of them this spring and they are just gorgous. Speaking of gorgous, the weather this fall in NY is fantastic. We have been breaking records every day. Today its supposed to get up to the middle 80's. It inspires me to get outside and work on the lawn.

I have been really good at eating my high protein and oil rich snacks and I feel so much better than I did earlier in induction. I plan on staying on induction until I get to 200 pounds. I started rereading the Atkins Bible this morning . I hadn't looked at it since I got it in 2003. Off to enjoy this great Autumn day.
