Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Good Morning everyone, sorry I haven't been able to post for awhile. Life has just been one challange after another the last several weeks. On top of everything that had already happened my daughters husband just decided to up and leave her and thier 2 children out of the blue. So I have had help keep her and the kids toghter. Now it looks like they will have to move in with us since they have no other place to go sigh. Even though I love them and know we have to help this is just a huge stress that is over whelming right now. I have not been able to work out or stay on my food plan so I regained 7 or 8 pounds. Its so easy to gain and so hard to lose it back lol. Anyway I am trying really hard to get things back on track here. I am going to try my best to post atleast once a day, exercise some even if its only 10 minutes a day and make better choices with food.

Morning, all.

I haven't posted for a few days. On Tuesday evening, my daughter and I were in a car accident. She was driving, and we were rear-ended by a careless driver. I had my right foot up on the dashboard and it jammed into my hip socket when we collided.

So, I've got a terrific lower lumbar sprain and hip pain. Pain pills and muscle relaxants help, but make my mind all mushy!

Despite all of that, I woke up this morning at 200 lbs, which means I have hit a 35 lb weight loss at last! Yippee!!!!!

I'm taking it easy. REALLY miss the yoga and running, though I hadn't been going to the gym regularly.

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Morning everyone!

I slept well last night which was good - I had been very restless. But of course I SO did NOT want to get out of bed today - LOL

But I'm up - dinner is in the crock pot (Asian Pork from Linda's site) so I feel like I accomplished something already (I'm so easy to please)

Weekends are work for me as tomorrow I get up early and do the farmer's market but the kids don't have to go with me this week which is exciting - my son is starting shooting club with the 4-H and my daughter is staying with their daughter to play so they can both pout about not going to shooting club.

Last night I made a 1/2 portion of Linda's Moo Shu Pork - but used tofu cubes instead and it was really good - best part is my husband won't eat it so I have leftovers for lunch - LOL!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Good morning, everyone!

I have lots more energy now! =) Wondering if it's because of how I am eating or because it's the weekend... Hehehe... Maybe both... ;-)

Went on the scale the last couple of days... Have dropped down 5 lbs... But have been 145lbs for 3 days... Not too worried, as TOM is around the corner... =)

Yay for the weekend!

Good Morning STAC'ers,


TGIF- I have had a busy week. I can't wait untill I get done with my job work. I am hoping to be done by 1:30 pm and will take the rest of the day off if possible. I haven't started Christmas shopping yet and I have some bills to pay....

Evermind- I am glad you are okay. How scary! Congrats on the loss It feels good to see that number- I know it did me yesterday


LC Angel- Hang in there and use the "power" if the force.... Atkins Force to stay in control.

Sandy- have a great time at the recital. The weight will come- just be patient and stay on plan.

The rest of you have a great day and do what you got to do.

Peace

Julie

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Good Morning everyone! TGIF!!! I am so glad this week is over. Had a bunch of people over last night to watch the cowboys/packers game and we had pizza! I was a good girl and had chicken salad. My mom even broke out the licorice bag after dinner and I didn't have any of that either(my favorite!) so I am pretty psyched that I didn't cheat. Really excited to start the situp and pushup challenge tomorrow. We are supposed to get snow tomorrow and a HUGE wind storm on Sunday. Will have to hit the treadmill and do pilates instead of going outside...

Have a great Friday everyone!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Hi STACers,

I'm new to your group - this is just my second post.

I'm starting induction tomorrow and I'm experiencing mixed emotions about it... on one hand I'm determined to lose the pounds I've put back on AND I enjoy the foods I eat while following the plan AND I love the reward of putting on pants that are baggy (looking forward to that feeling!)... but... on the other hand, I'm feeling bummed and annoyed about having to adopt a weight-loss plan (which in itself annoys me 'cause it means I'm not thinking positively about myself) AND I find myself thinking about all the things I want to eat before tomorrow morning (pretty silly, really). I'm worried that these mixed feelings will make it easier for me to make/eat buttermilk pancakes tomorrow morning!

Enough whining!!

There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be spending the weekend continually reminding myself how much I want to lose weight, how much I enjoy the foods I eat while on Atkins AND how terrific I feel when on plan (after the first week of induction, of course!).

It'll be a tough weekend, but I know I can do it!!

Keep up the terrific work everyone. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

tangotori you really need to get in the mindset that this way of eating/living is NOT A DIET. I don't have time to refer to my DANDR book but Dr. A talks about this. Please refer to your book!!!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 11/30

Tang--I know how you are feeling about wanting to eat everything you can't have while on this WOL but the great thing is there are so many legal options for anything you might be missing. I say accept this WOL for what it is. A Way of Eating and don't focus on what you can't have but focus on what you can, and how you are going to feel in those baggy pants!!!
