Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

So far so good folks! There is junk in every corner of the building. I mean there is some 5 feet away, and ten and another ten from that there is more! Every place I look. The temptation is vague right now as I am not hungry, but the fact that it's everywhere just makes you feel like snacking. Stay strong and remember NO NO NO

Happy Thurday- 5 days left!

I will join those of you saying "NO". I joined Meena for induction and will probably stay on through New Years just for added control before I ease back into OWL.

I had written out a nice post but accidentally closed the screen- arrrrggggg!!!

I weighed on Tuesday and was -4 putting me at 200 then yesterday I had to have more and weighed myself again and I was up 5..... I don't trust scales too much. However I am keeping the 200 and throwing out the 205 and I will not weigh again until next Tuesday= being on induction I am guaranteed to loose. I am wishing for a solid 198 by then.

I got my new car yesterday- This morning at the bus stop it was -4 and I invited the kids to sit in the car to stay warm and we couldn't figure out how to close the darn door. They finally got it but I have no idea how. LOL

I also got my new tattoo yesterday. Boy it was tough. Thankfully it was over in about 25 minutes. I used the breathing technique for child birth and it helped me.

Sheepie-Congrats on 9 fantastic months!

Chica- I am with you sister! I haven't been getting the exercize since I was sick and then my back went out. Now I just feel lazy like and I always seem to have something more important to do.

The Exercize has to be the #1 priority.

Any way have a great Thursday- say NO and get off your butts....

It's only 9:50 here - but I'm hanging in there! My biggest challenge today will be the Xmas lunch/party we're throwing for our students - there'll be loads of pizza!! I'll bring my little snack-size tuna to see me through, then I'll go and grab a yummy salad. I'll check in later...

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

9:55 here... I already ate a few little chocolate balls someone sent us... :-( already regretting it too... now would be a good time to become bulemic... jk.I should have gotten in here about 5 minutes sooner... No for the rest of the day.

Had a nice time at our luncheon. I had the Mahi mahi in macademia nuts... soooo good. but we shared a piece of chocolate cake ( between 9 people so just a bite) and had a roll... I keep thinking I'll get back on the wagon in January... so I have myself to blame if I have extra to lose then... on the plus side, with all the gas and bloating those 'little' cheats are causing, I have a decreased appetite.

So, anyways, another work day, but I don't have to be there until 3pm... so I have the morning to work on stuff around the house. Think I'll do some wrapping and work on some machine embroidery take a walk/jog... (still really scared about that stupid mastif dog the other day... so not sure...may just stationary bike)

have a good one.
no, no, no.

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

I'm sticking to plan even though I have a lack of my usual foods available (I am headed back home for Christmas for a week and am trying to empty my fridge a bit) and TOM has brought some crazy cramps and moody feelings today. It is the only day each month when I consider buying a cake and eating it all! I also dropped my new scale and now it makes some funny noises so the replacement should be here tomorrow. I thought it would be good to have a scale that measured in such small increments but now I am obsessing about 0.2 pound gain. I am hoping once TOM passes I will go back to thinking rationally again.

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Well I am in a foul mood..but going to post anyway.. My car is in the shop AGAIN! Not that I have money to get it out... Its 5 days to Christmas and I am not done shopping..not sure that I will have the money for that either.. I am driving my husbands truck to the Dining Hall job that I work very part time in.. Hopefully he won't get a ticket tonight driving his other truck that has a bad inspection sticker.. Nope I haven't eaten like I am suppose to and am not going to even try... December 26 is the day I will get back on track.. I hope!

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Ok - I'm pulling out my 10 minute workout DVD. I'm so frustrated with everyone at the moment it's not even funny. Kids are really starting to get on my nerves at the moment - and so is my husband! UGH!!!! Yeah - he's pissing me off.

Got home from taking the kids to get their haircut and getting the rest of the groceries for the holiday weekend (and he complains cause I had to spend money but then fusses I wasn't making enough food for everyone) and that was ok for awhile..... stopped at McD's for the kids and I had a bunless burger.... came home 2 minutes later the feed truck showed up and husband complains that the price isn't worth getting it delivered (it's about the same as I can get it right around the corner - but THEY DELIVER! which is what makes it worth it for me!!) then he starts mumbling under his breath as he goes off to work - good riddance at this moment!!!

Ok - I feel a little better now.... but wishing I had a punching bag

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Just say NO, and mean it.

I like saying NO, it's empowering. It means that I care about myself enough to be honest. I never feel obligated to eat something unhealthy because that would be dishonoring myself to please someone else.

JUST SAY NO and follow through!

I know that this time of year can be tough, but eating that carby crap won't make the stress go away, it won't put presents under the tree, it won't give you a better relationship with your family, it won't make you happier, and it certainly won't make you healthier. Make good choices. Just remember that during the holidays, you are worth it.

You are following Atkins because you WANT TO. You are eating healthy foods because you WANT TO--don't think about it as giving up this or that because you CAN'T HAVE IT--think about being proactive to GET WHAT YOU WANT.

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Hi all,

Well, my students are doing quiet work and I'm sitting here with ONE CLOGGED NOSTRIL - is there anything more annoying, lol? Sure there is. I just can't think of something just now.....

Anyway, I've avoided all temptation so far today. It's pretty easy to commit for just one day, because it's only for 24 hours.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Some of this plateau has to be lack of exercise since the car accident, but some is just my body deciding to hover at a weight where I probably stayed for months and months on my way UP the scale. I may go back to induction but honestly, I'm not eating much that isn't induction legal, so it wouldn't be a huge deal. Maybe soy flour once or twice a week, that's all. An occasional serving of berries - maybe every couple of weeks.

That means the the REAL trick is to re-commit each day - we can wake up every morning and say "it's only 24 hours". We can do it!!

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Good Evening!!

Today has been one of those days for me. I spent 3 hours wrapping presents and then went to lunch with my hubby and his office staff. Ate ok, not too bad, but not too good either.

Walked what seemed miles at the Mall last night just trying to finish up the last of the shopping, which was good, because I didn't get to the gym yesterday.

Hope that tomorrow is better!!

Re: Thursday roll call 12/20

Hello All,

I had a good day today and had to say "no" a couple of times Well....we have one more day of school tomorrow and quite frankly I am looking forward to the break and so is DD of course!

Sandy
I am so sorry to hear you had a bad day today. Nothing worse than car problems and having to worry about money especially at Christmas. You must be feeling the stress big time. It is oozing from your post. I hope you have a much..much better day tomorrow. Sending good thoughts your way.

Well I am going to finish my cup of decafe and listen to Johnny Mathis. I know it sounds corny but I just love sitting and listening to Christmas music. It reminds me of being a kid and my mom would have the music on all of the time.

Have a great evening all.

Debby
