Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

When I turned 49, I dreamed to not arrive at 50 feeling like I did at 49. Defeated, fat, unhealthy, unhappy. I wished and dreamed I could be at a healthy weight, and active and confident again in myself. With the Atkins diet, I was able to loose the weight and I had the energy to make all the positive changes that led to confidence and really a whole new way of living.
Follow your dreams!!!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Good morning!!! It's time to rise and shine - LOL

Exercised already - did 2 workouts from the "belly busters" dvd. I'm still wearing my belt and my weight is steady at 157.

My in-laws come today and for me that is mega stress..... after 17 years you would think that I would get over it but no I don't. They are only here through Wednesday so I can make it. Funny thing is - FIL is diabetic and I believe still controls it only by diet - so 1/2 the stuff I am making for me - he can have! I'm sure he'll actually be thrilled to know he can have dessert.

So being myself - I am looking around the house and I see a disater area (but didn't we just clean 2-days ago??) so I need to straighten up before they get here. Which means I need to get my butt in gear - but it doesn't want to go! It's foggy outside and that is just blah.

Oh well - faster I get the outside chores done for the morning, sooner I can have a cup of coffee to warm myself up.

Have a great day everyone! If you are traveling - stay safe and have a great holiday

Personally I'll be around because with these people I will need a sanity break - LOL

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

the wind is roaring here in the midwest today - gusts to 45 mph - woke me at 3:30...ack.

am impatiently waiting for TOM to start...feeling bloated, uncomfortable and terribly fat. I am too old for this *stuff*

forcing myself to eat a substantial breakfast in hopes I can keep my head out of the fridge today. then I'll suit up and trudge to the barn

*moan*whine* - aren't I a ray of sunshine...

Safe travels for you and yours today

oh, and Jess, I'm a year later than you but my thinking is the same

Happy Sunday!

Woke up super early this morning - the kiddies aren't even up yet (I should suck this all in, it rarely happens)

Weighed in at 114.5 - didn't gain anything from my Christmas party last night. All I has was a bit of turkey & ham, salad, mock mash and legal cheesecake. I can't stomach low carb cheesecake. I've tried baking with both liquid and granulated Splenda, but it's too much and makes me want to gag after a couple of bites - anyone else have this issue? Everyone else loved the cheesecake, I just couldn't handle it...

Going to the gym after my weekly groc shopping experience.

Spoke too soon - urchins are up! Have a great Sunday all!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Morning, all.

Yesterday was spent running errands (Henry's for soy flour, trader joe for flax and almond flour, etc) and getting dd's car fixed (needed new radiator). Not much time for anything else, though dh and I stopped and had brunch (eggs for me, and salad) at one point.

Today I need to clean, clean, clean. Ds is coming tomorrow for 2 weeks, and his (guest) room looks like a bomb went off, not to mention the rest of the house hasn't been touched in a week and a half. Later, dd and I may go to work out, if there's time.

I'm doing really well on the food issue, though the scale is not budging and it's discouraging as all get-out. I know I can start induction again and see if that does anything, but I'm not willing right now. We'll see how starting to work out again helps - if my hip can tolerate it.

What I do know is that the food I am eating doesn't leave me with super sugar highs and the inevitable energy lows, I don't feel yucky, bloated, or disgusting. Could I live with never losing again? Have to think about that.

Have a wonderful day, everyone. Don't stress too much!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Good Morning,

On plan so far and doing great. We are heading out for the holidays and may not be able to check in until after Christmas. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Drive safe, fly safe and wherever you are going or whatever you are doing remember the reason for the season!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Good morning. Just back from church and everyone else has laid down for a nap. Not sure why everyone is so exhausted. Friday I was pretty sure that I would cheat this weekend, but so far, so good, foodwise. Weighwise it's still the same old, same old. Grrrr. There was a change in plans for Christmas dinner, so now we're staying home, the 4 of us. I have to go out today in search of cornish hens. I couldn't find any last time I looked. Oh, and I need to buy some cheese for quiche. Ever since I was little, we always had quiche for breakfast on Christmas day while opening gifts. It will be crustless of course! Have a great day everyone.

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Good Morning,
Stayed up too late last night embroidering dish towel for cousins gift... each one has different design with their name on it.... ie. Liz's Kitchen... The font is cross stitch... a program my machine has. Anyways, it was fun making them and I'm happy they're done.
Now, I can enjoy the day without stress. Church 1st, a walk, and then a long drive to meet the cousin's for dinner and a stoll down Christmas light lane... (fancy smancy hotel with fancy lights) This is the 2nd year of getting together with the cousins like this... it'll be fun.
My husband informed me that he heard me 'clacking' my teeth last night, which explains the TMJ/migrain headachs... so need a mouth guard now at night. I may try to get a cheap one at the sports store until I can see my dentist and pay that fortune it'll be for a real one.... unless the cheap one at sports authority works... but I'm a little surprised that I 'clack' my teeth. My dd does that too.

Well, that's all that's going on here. Coffee, breakfast in the makings...
Oh, my ds has a girlfriend... for the last month, he finally told us. I guess she's smart, athletic, nice, hangs out with the validictorian... they double date actually... anyways, I'm kinda happy for him as she sounds like a nice girl and it explains how happy he's been.

Okay, off to face the day!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 12/23

Morning STACers!

This will be just a quick note to check-in... hubby and I are tearing up some of our floor so that we can lay the new (reclaimed) oak flooring we picked up at the salvage yard yesterday. He's started without me so that I can post for role-call! I also have to go and make some breakfast... bacon & eggs!

Have a great day, everyone!
