Roll Call 1-1-08

[Outback Jess]

Happy NEw YEAR!!!!! STACers, we have the amazing opportunity to continue our journey into a lifestyle and way of eating our bodies respond to. We have the amazing opportunity to calmly consistently go about the act of self-change. We have a vision for a better life physically, emotionally and mentally. We have all picked Atkins to do that with.

So, break out your books!
Drink a glass of water
Have a great meal
Strap on the sneakers and take a walk!

Visualize a new body, set small goals,
Plan meals and snacks
Get your suppliments organized!
Strap on the shoes and let's go!

It will be hard work
Ton's of will power
Focus and determination
and this way of eating WILL REWARD YOU WITH
Weightloss
Energy
Ketosis
Mood balance
Energy
New self confidence
New joy
New Opportunities
A NEW BODY!!!!!!

Only you can do it
ONly you can make these changes
ONLY YOU CAN KEEP THE CHANGE!

2008 is gonna be as bright as YOU MAKE IT!

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Morning everyone and Happy 2008! I am up and about - already exercised, let out the chickens, and I feel like so much more was done But I am tired..... no I didn't make it til midnight, didn't even try but sleep didn't come easily last night.

My husband is at work.... not sure what I'm up to today really as he comes home, goes back to sleep and goes back in to work tonight. I guess I'll get the kids laundry done something exciting like that.

I was all set to make the fiber shake from SFS's site and dang it I'm missing ingredients. Hate it when that happens. And I am not going out today - nope - just ain't happening. So I need to think of something else for breakfast (and don't say eggs - when you gather 150 per day you get a little tired of them on some days )

I hope everyone has an awesome day. I'm hoping for my husband to take some pictures today and some measurements for me when he gets home. This way I'll start the year with some #'s and for the challenges. But I want to see the difference in my "love handle" jeans Yep I need encouragement with pictures now - the belt is no longer enough...... LOL

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Today is day 5 for me. Yesterday I weighed 163. Today I weigh 162.4.
So it's still coming off.
I'm starting to feel really good.
Since I'm off today there's no excuse to go walking or riding my bike.
My Son wants to go out to breakfast and I will but only Atkins friendly.

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Today is day 1. The scale said 244.6, I am scared, sad and really MAD. But I can and will do this again. Off to make breakfast for the family-EGGS, EGGS, EGGS and the exercise will start today, everyday......

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Well Happy New Years everyone. I didn't see the year come in and only made it til about 11:00 pm. I did though wake up excited. I am starting higher this time at 230 but have learned some lessons about giving up and not getting back on.

Alison... I am also starting today after many attempts so cheers to both of us and everyone out there starting induction again.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Good morning everyone, I did not exercise yesterday
And I had Chinese last night.
Chicken and Broccoli , sauce probably not induction friendly.
Lettuce wraps, with chicken meat and some kind of fruit/vegatable, could have been water chestnuts , but I don't know.
and for snack had fancy cheese with some kind of berry and pineapple.
So , I fell down yesterday, could have been worse, could have been a lot better.
I will dust myself off, get back on the horse.
I wish everyone a fantastic 2008.

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Good morning folks and Happy New Year! I'm checking in for the 1/1 roll call if that's okay. Jess, don't know if you remember me from a while ago, but GREAT JOB on goal. Outstanding!!!

I am a total believer in Atkins and get amazed at how well it works for me (and DH too!!). Just sometimes we get a little off track like so many others. Getting back in gear today. Gonna hit the store for my veggies and eggs. Already got tons of meat in the freezer -- thanks Omaha Steaks!

Might even jump back on the treadmill later today and get the routine going again!

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

today is a great day!! i have already completed my pushups and went for a 30 minute walk. there are a lot of good bowl games today.....one of particular interest to me is georgia vs hawaii!!! if you havent seen knowshon run yet you just have to check this game out tonight. he's only a freshman but he has been compared to herschel walker!! i think if he stays healthy....he will not only capture a heisman but also bring a national championship to UGA!!!!

who from ADBB is from georgia? or a boardering state......if you are, please, please, please watch this game. catch the excitement!!!

Re: Roll Call 1-1-08

Great post Jess!!

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to watching my body transform into what I want it to be - exciting! I WILL have a bootie you can bounce quarters off from.

Tried to have a glass of bubbly last night with my hubby - Seriously made me gag - I used to love my wine/bubbly. Now it tastes like monkey poo. 3 sips and that was enough... Went to bed around 9:30- PARTY!! yeah, right

Woke up this morn and am SORE. Met with my trainer for a bit after Spin class yesterday and she totally worked me. Today, I'll be taking the day off from the gym (I think), but getting my shopping ON! Gotta get the urchins dressed and I'm of!!

Weighed in at 114 - guess I'm holding water because of the muscle work I did yesterday- no biggie.

Hope everyone has a great start to '08!
