Re: Tuesday Roll Call 12/18/07

Hi Everyone.... Well I don't want to talk about how I am doing...not well at all.. I figured..I screwed up...might as well just not really try until the day after Christmas.. Or course I am already paying for it.. the upset stomachs the heartburn...etc..

Went to the Y today for my water aerobics class... The 10-10-10 challenge that I was in..ended today.. I did NOT lose 10lbs.. I only have lost 3lbs...but I am okay with that.. I have really been struggling since Halloween..so I figured 3 off is better then a 20 gain..

What gets me is how you can cheat with 1 stinking thing...and it puts like 4lbs back on.. I can't ever see eating more then 20 carbs to ever lose...

I am working tonight at the Dining Hall..we are fixing a special meal..

Have a good day!

Wow! It's afternoon already. Good afternoon. Not much going on here. Kinda depressed. I've been relatively good, well, except for wine and almonds, but I haven't been losing anything. There's a little place in my brain telling me that if I'm not going to lose then a cheat wouldn't really matter very much. Sort of a punishment for my body for not losing. Silly, I know. I'm trying to ignore it. Everyone, including me, be good to yourselves today.

Good Morning everyone,
Thanks for sharing Joy, and nice to see Adena and Julie here...
I'm feeling like @rap today... and really need to see the chiropractor... my neck and back are all out of wack... getting some paresthesias in my R foot and hand... been feeling pre migraine for a few days as well...
I went to the health food store and bought some sugar free cheesecake and a few other treats trying to get through the holidays without cheating... been over doing on the legal stuff, and yesterday only ate chicken soup until we went out to eat at Soup Plantation at 6... needless to say I over ate on soup and salad... even eating a bran muffin... so my stomach is in pain... not sure what to even eat now.... nothing sounds good.
Yesterday's walk was upsetting as a large Mastif dog charged us and scared us ( me and my dog) and the owners were calling it, so I know they knew it was out, and I was yelling at them to come get it... but they didn't bother to get it for about 20 minutes... it followed us and was all weird and rough with my dog and pushing me... it would be agressive biting my dogs neck... I think it wanted to play, but it must have weighed at least 150lbs or more... huge huge dog... very scary. It would not leave us alone... I finally squirted it with a little mace in the mouth... just a little and by golly that did work... it stopped charging at me and pushing me around... and kept a safer distance and stopped biting my dog as well... Finally the owners came as I was walking up my driveway... I was too mad to talk to them at the time, the lady called to appologise and I couldn't talk to her then either... I swear! I felt totally traumatized by the giant dog of theirs... I really didn't know what it was going to do... one minute it was playing the next it was biting my dog and growling...
I feel sort of freaked out about it... and not wanting to get out there today, even though I need to...
okay, sorry for that long post...
the day begins...
I got a new scale... yeah!

Hi everyone!

Well my TOM finally showed up. It's been a pain getting to it. Walking into walmart today it started - and no I wasn't prepared. So I had to rush through Walmart get what I needed and get back home. So at the moment I feel like cr*p.

Weight hasn't changed - but didn't expect it to so I'm not upset about it. I did buy some jeans at Walmart - size 10 They were priced at $8 so I couldn't resist - I got 2 shirts too and 2 belts that were on sale so I can at least wear my other jeans. I have to try the jeans on but they looked like they should fit ok.

Need to exercise today - I've been recording some stuff off of fittv so I can do a quick work out - I like them. So we'll see how I do with them once I get the exercise stuff moved up from the basement.

Have a great day - I need a salad for lunch!!

Valid Rouge -- I am right there with you. I have to come here and admit my slip up. The cookie party did me in this weekend and I haven't been on plan since saturday. And my weight reflects it -- I am up 3 lbs from last week!

I to feel like a junkie and once I had my fix I couldn't stop. I have felt absolutely sick to my stomach since I started eating the sugar and I have had nightmares on top of it. I was doing so good on the challenges too and since my slip up I haven't been on the treadmill either...

I came here to get a good slap in the face and get my butt back in gear. I pledge today to do my exercise, stay on plan, drink my water, and start ALL OVER yet again.....
I need to ask my body for forgiveness and start being kind to myself. I refuse to change my tickler because I will work hard this week to be back to the weight by christmas eve next monday!!

Thank you all for your posts...you encourage me to get back to this awesome WOE!!!

Checking back in again after catching up on all the new posts.

Adena
It is really great to have you here and sharing your experience with Atkins. Your photos really show the fantastic progression you have made.
The holiday season has to be the very worst for everyone. There are so many temptations out there to deal with. I have been doing good so far but you just never know when it is going to strike. I guess the important thing is to be aware and try to get yourself prepared for the onslaught of rich, sugary bad-for-you foods that are coming.

Liz
How scared you must have been! Those dogs are giants. I think you showed remarkable restraint not macing the dog the second it got close to you and your dog. We have had instances like that in our neighborhood. My husband had to beat off a pitbull with a baseball bat. The gas company man working in the area saw what was happening and he rushed over to help my husband. I don't even enjoy walking in our neighborhood anymore. I bought a treadmill some time ago and just walk indoors. I wait until we go camping to go on hikes for my outdoor walks. It's a shame really but people around us are so irresponisble there are always loose dogs running around.
I'm glad you and your dog are ok. It amazes me the owners of the mastif were not quicker to get their dog away from you. Blockheads.

Sandy
Don't get down on yourself lady. Just keep going the best that you can. Your still in the game. You can make it. 3lbs is great, you take'em and be proud of them!

Hi all

Same old, same old for me. Entering week 5 with no loss and day 60 no cheats so I dropped back on Induction for the last 4 days, I hope by next week or the week after to see movment. Sounds like lots of people are blah today, myself included. Probably holiday stuff, just imagine, if we all still at like @rap we would feel even worse.

Okay, that wasn't as lighthearted as I had hoped.

Have a great rest of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there, that's lighthearted)
