Hang in there Sandy, drink alot of water today. Good luck at the party tonight.

Cold weather whips up here. I am sore from head to toe, I worked out twice yesterday, making it an all over the body experience...I am reaping stiffness now!
Hang in there everybody, plan, plan, plan.

Good morning all. We didn't get much snow last night, but we're expecting a blizzard today. I'm already worrying about the drive to work tomorrow. Ugh! Otherwise all is well here. Hope you all have a safe day.

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Here - we have ice on everything. I need to go and let everyone out of the barns and get some feed to them - but ICK! It's raining and it seems to be freezing to stuff out there. I hate rain + cold it just makes me miserable.

I have to put the icing on the 6 dozen cookies I made yesterday for the cookie exchange tonight. I'm looking forward to it and plan on going with a full tummy so I won't eat a ton. I expected my cookie dough tasting yesterday would have at least kicked me out of ketosis - but nope. So that was a nice shock this morning - especially since the scale was back down under 160 this morning since it hovered there a few days because of TOM (which is probably going to be here just in time when I HAVE to be nice to the in-laws etc - oh joy)

So have to go get my day started - and I so do NOT want to do that - LOL

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Morning, all!

Scale says 204, which is still up 4 for absolutely no reason. <shrug> What's a girl to do? Nothing........

Yesterday was very relaxing. I hung out at home for most of the day, watching movies on the Hallmark channel and doing odds and ends, then later went out shopping a bit. Not particularly successful, but today is another day.

Later this morning I'm getting my nails done and then some more bits and pieces of shopping. Nothing huge -just little things for people.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and now we have plenty of veggies to last the week. Plus all of the foods dh and dd love for lunch, none of which appeal to me in the least!

Have a good day, everyone. Stay warm if you're out east, and stay focussed on legal foods and activities, wherever you are!

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

evermind, your willpower and ability not to let the number on the scale get you down is so enviable!!!

got back on track yesterday after a big cheat on friday night, and the scale is back down below my ticker, thank goodness. sandy, you just get back on plan and let the past be in the past.

i know you guys in new england hate it, but i am soooo jealous it is snowing there!!!! enjoy it!!!!

went to mass last night, so no church this morning. instead i am heading out for a long 6-8 mile walk this morning. can't wait until i can say i am going on a short run!!

have a fantastic day, yall!

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

It's snowing here today so I am going to stay in and get all my cleaning and cooking done. No movement on the scale but I had way too much sodium yesterday so I am probably retaining water.

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Good Morning,

Just getting ready to head out for church then my husband is taking me out to lunch. Later tonight we have a party to go to so this is my big testing day!!

Sandy
Hang in there. I have always admired you because you just keep getting back up and going forward. You keep on doing that. You are going to make it!

Sorry this is so short, but my time is short this morning.

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Hi ya'll...
Worked late last night...
today is supposed to be a rest day for me exersize wise... but kinda wanna go walk or something.... haven't been feeling too good... took a bath in epsinsalts last night and that help a little I think and slept well. Missed the early service at church this am, and can't go to 2nd service cuz I can't get to work in time from there... so staying home and taking it easy. Reading the paper, drinking coffee, and about to have breakfast. Fam will go without me...
Almost got a ticket last night on the way home from work, did a little California stop... got really lucky just getting a warning... made my day.
I can't wait til tomorrow to go to the chiropractor... think that's what I need.
I hope everyone has a good day today. Stay legal... Christmas parties are so hard! We have one at a restaurant on Coronado Island this week... (Peohi's) and I looked at the menu... it's gonna be so good. They have salads, or I could have fish... mmmmh. Can't wait! I guess it's a hawiian themed restaurant... that's the only party I'm really looking forward to. I blew the one off for Friday night... (we went out on our own) and I'm not sorry. My resistance feels low like I could cheat, but really don't want to and don't want to be in a situation where there's nothing to eat and I feel deprived. Yesterday at work I stopped at Jimbos and got my lunch from there... LOVE that place, but it's expensive...(health food deli counter) Thinking I'll stop there again, I just don't feel like making anything.
Yum... my dh just put a plate of eggs and roast beef in front of me... I love that man.

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Happy Sunday STAC'ers,

My back is finally feeling better. Good enough to get a little exercize I think.

Sandy I saw I am Legend by myself Friday. I had a child size popcorn (one of those things that I can't seem to give up- movie theater popcorn is the best). At any rate I finally managed a clean induction day yesterday for the most part. I did have 3 small cocktails at the big party last night but did not eat anything bad. Today will be even better.

My 10 year old Astro Van needs a new home. Yesterday it decided that it wasn't going to heat and it was about 10'- brrrr. Thankfully my husband figured out what was wrong and it is working for now but we decided it is time to trade it in. So that is some stress.

I weighed myself yesterday 203 so I am 4# above my ticker, I do have PMS and I haven't been getting all my water in and I haven't been eating completely on plan so I am trying to stay in induction for a few days/weeks. Being sick followed by having a sore back really messed me up.

I will do some food shopping today and plan on having a good week. I found whole pumpkins last weekend and I plan on getting a few today for the holidays.

Have a great day gang!

Julie

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Hello, hello!!!

Weighed in at 115 again this morn - happy the scale didn't move up...

Yesterday, I ran for a mile straight, then alternated walking 2 min, and running really fast 2 min for around 20min - was nice. Then I tried a machine that simulates rollerblading called "The Wave". My butt and legs are sore this morning - I managed 5 miles on that one.

Today, I plan on swimming for 45min or so - Tomorrow will be my day off from the gym - I have to meet with my 13year olds school councelor to find out why my little boy is becoming a total turd

Tonight, it's steak and asparagus with garlic butter (yum)

I hope you all have a fabulous Sunday!

Re: Sunday Roll Call 12/16/07

Hello Everyone,

It's about noon here on the West Coast... I had a nice sleep-in and now I'm ready to get my day going. Like eveyone else, I have some Christmas shopping to get done - and I'm not looking forward to the crowds! My husband and I are in the middle of remodeling our home (we're working on the kitchen right now - we won't even have a kitchen to make Xmas dinner in!) so we've agreed to not spend too much money on the kids and ourselves. In fact, our plan for one another is to buy a small 13" flat-screen TV for under the new kitchen cabinets. I love it!! Now I have to hold him to the idea because he really enjoys buying gifts for people and I'd hate to find he purchased something more for me and I didn't for him!!!

I'm doing really well on plan... two weeks yesterday and no cheats!! AND I'm down from around 230 to 219 this morning! I'm so excited and I feel terrific. I was even fortunate enough to lose a few pounds through TOM! Only 4 more pounds to my first mini-goal... and I'm confident I can do it!

I know my message today is long, but I've been finding that I can't make it to the ADBB in time to connect with everyone

and I wanted to share my news. I think I'll need to make time in the morning before work to check-in because if I wait until the end of my day (which I've been doing) I find that I've missed everyone... all you STACers in other time-zones are finishing your days! I've been reading everyone's posts through the week... some ups and downs, but lots of great support! I love logging in every day!!

Take care everyone... hopefully you'll see me checking in tomorrow morning (pacific time!)!
Vickie
