Re: Roll Call Tues

Good Morning Jess and everyone!
That was a great post Jess! It is so great that you ARE still here after reaching your goal AND becoming a triathlete... We really appreciate the perspective you bring. It's the LONG HAUL that's important. It's easy to get obsessed with the scale and want to lose faster, but we are all gonna get there if we keep making good choices... everyday.

I am happy to report another lb lost. This puts me at 40lbs even lost since I started Atkins in May and 50 lbs since last Christmas. yeah!!!! Success feels great! (23lbs to go til goal which may get revised downward...) I like seeing round numbers for some reason! lol.

Last night I dreamed that I went to a quilting class wearing my bra with a robe over it but it wouldn't stay shut. I was pushing a baby stroller too... anyways, I ran into someone I knew with everything hanging out there... and she was like... 'OMG! you're so thin!' ha ha! dreams are funny!

Have a great day everyone... cleaning again this am, then have to go to work!

Good Morning STAC'ers,

Great Post Jess- you said it all! Thanks for keeping it in perspective.

I really appreciate the STAC group. The support is fantastic. "THANK YOU" to all of you. I am now 2# away from my first goal. I don't think I would have stayed on with out having this inspiration daily.

Great job Liz. You are doing so well. Amazing what our dreams come up with. LOL

Dana I am with you on a daily goal. Todays goal is 100 oz of water and some form of exercize

Have a wonderful day

Re: Roll Call Tues

Morning, all!

I made it through the night without coughing!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! I'm so jazzed - I may be able to run today. It's been over a week. I swear, between the fires and this @#*(&% cold virus, nature is conspiring to prevent me from exercising!

Yesterday was a good day. Hung out with the kids, went shopping for ds' birthday (we're doing it tonight) and just had a good time all around. I love having this whole week off - I can get re-grounded.

Today we are going to celebrate my older son's birthday. On your birthday at my house you get to choose what restaurant - it's usually TGIFridays or Olive Garden. So what does my 24 year old want? Dennys or Ihop, he says. Why? He shrugs. "I dunno. It's what I feel like. Maybe we can go to Baskin Robbins for dessert." Well, of course, Dennys or Ihop do not require me to even worry about low carbing, so I'm happy. And Baskin Robbins? Dh will be coming directly from work to the icecream place,and he said he will bring me low-carb frozen yogurt - a teeny tiny portion, from the yogurt place. So we'll all be happy.

Scale is down today, to 203.5 I don't trust it - it'll probably be up again tomorrow, given the history of this past month. But you know what? My body is happy. It's happy not to be poisoned by all of the sugar and refined flours I was eating non-stop before July 29. It's happy to be taking in so many nutrients in the form of fresh veggies. I wouldn't trade this for anything, even if I never lose another lb.

Have an excellent day - do something nice for someone today! And make that someone........YOU!
