Roll Call 12/13

Re: Roll Call 12/13

Good Morning STAC'ers,

Happy Thursday. I have a busy day to day.

I am going to get started right away. I am going to purchase the flooring for our down stairs so hubby will finally put it in (I have been waiting for him to start it but he hasn't). His big surprize will be here waiting for him when he gets home from work. It will be a pergo type floor.

I also had to change my hair appointment to this afternoon. My daughter and I are getting fresh high lights/cuts for the Holidays. We have a formal party on Saturday. Which brings me to the fact that I had nothing to wear, I bought a shirt at this new hip store for bigger women and it looks amazing on me. I thought I would wear it with some short pants, but they are baggy so I have to shop for the bottom half..... I need to go back to that store.

I have a meeting this afternoon and I need to clean my house! Never enough hours in the day.

Induction didn't go so well yesterday. I had PB as a snack last night, I made some mousse but didn't feel like having it as a snack. I really hate having it in the house because I know that it affects me. I am starting with a clean slate today and trying to drink as much water as I can. Going for 100 oz.

Have a great day gang!

Re: Roll Call 12/13

good morning.... had a super busy shift last night... got home at around midnight and hoped into the tub and then bed, but had a hard time sleeping. ah well, sleep is over rated.
This morning am planning on running 2 miles and doing some bike miles as I'm behind on that. Had a good food day yesterday. Ate more veggies which is very satisfying. Yesterday I ran 3 miles. It's coming a lot easier for me now to run... feels really nice actually.
Taking a break from the scale.
all's well, dd got a job and starts today... yeah! less financial drain. Something for her to do to get her brain off her dbf...
Another work day today, taking soup to sick step mother and then shopping on the way to work... full days. No wonder I feel tired.

Re: Roll Call 12/13

Oh what fun!! Ok - put on a pair of my "work jeans" this morning (holes in them etc). Last time I wore them it was tight to put on. Today - I can almost get them around my hips without undoing them! So even though the scale said 160 *which I expected because I ate a snack really late last night and it happens everytime I do that* I'm happy about it!

Hi Dana..Isn't that the BEST feeling...the capris in my 3rd picture were like that..when I first started Atkins I couldn't even get them past my thigh...so as you see I can wear them now.. That IS the measure of success!

I homeschool too. My daughter is in 7th grade. It is nice to see another homeschooling family. Congrats on almost getting into those smaller pants. Isn't it a great feeling?

Hi Debby.. I homeschool too.. My son is a Senior and my daughter went to Public School this year to try it out...

Re: Roll Call 12/13

Good Afternoon everyone.. I had a job interview at 9:30...not going to take it.. They have no health insurance and won't be getting it anytime soon... They are willing to pay $100 towards a plan for me.. But since I can't get on a plan on my own (been denied) that isn't going to work... I have decided I am going to go back and drive the school bus.. I had great insurance when I worked there before..

So I went to Golden Corral last night and I cheated..not on ROLLS or Banana pudding.. But I had a sweet potato.... It was so good..

Went grocery shopping today for my son's birthday party tomorrow.. Fixing this chicken gumbo that the family loves.. Basically its Chicken, Cream of Chicken soup and Mixed Veggies.. Going to save me some chicken out of the bunch and take a salad..

I didn't know that you homeschooled! That is awesome. My daughter tried public school this year and it lasted about 6 weeks. She was going to a prep school but the days were so long. She was putting in 12 or 13 hours a day which I just thought was ridiculous. She had to give up soccer and dance. It was totally unbalanced and she hated it. Her school day ran from 7:10 am to 3:15 pm and she would have 2 to 3 hours of homework each night. She was going to bed at 7 or 7:30 at night and was still tired and cranky. Since going back to homeschooling she has been calm and relaxed and things are returning to normal.

Re: Roll Call 12/13

Wow - ok so I'm not alone with the craziness of the homeschooling thing and eating - LOL That's nice to know

It's our first year hs'ing and we are still getting the hang of it.

Got some stuff done today - didn't eat as well as I should have - but didn't cheat! Well within my limits...... just very little veggies.

Didn't get to make my casseroles as I was busy doing other stuff that took forever! Heck it's 7:30 and I just ate some dinner which seems more like a snack and I'm still hungry.

Gotta figure something out that's LC for more food

Re: Roll Call 12/13

hi yall,
sorry not to post until so late, but busy day at work. glad to hear everyone is having a pretty solid attitude despite scales not moving!!
i totally cheated today, guys, on a chocolate truffle from harry and david as well as some tortilla chips in my salad. i guess i figured i had lost so much wt from being sick, who cares if i cheat a little.....but i already feel hungry again now so i think i kicked myself right on out of ketosis. i am sure the scale will reflect that tomorrow. so disappointed in myself. but i know i have to just pick myself up and get back on the wagon tomorrow, which i am looking forward to actually.

I hear you on the crazy schedule.. Brittany catches the bus at 6:30... But she is doing really well it was bad at first...but it has gotten better...She won't quit until she is done with this semester on January 23rd.. But I think she plans to stay the rest of the year.. My son is a Senior and does his stuff on his own
