Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Hello all

I'm so happy, I lost 5 pounds over the holidays. I'm going to back to OWL rung 1 next week, add some more green leafy stuff.

No Biggest Loser for me, I don't even have cable (I did, but when I went a week without turning on the TV I cancelled it)

Have a great day everyone.

Happy Hump day STAC'ers

Today I am RE starting induction yet again. I want to make through 5 days and then I will move back to the nut rung. I have failed this for the last few tries. I CAN DO THIS! Insane?

I have a medium work day and I have to run to sam's club and purchase 3 more packages of flooring (we ran out) on New Years Eve.......

I do plan on going to the gym tonight wih my husband- unless my daughter wants to go and then we might go earlier. I will get a light work out on the eliptical and some weight lifting. My sciatica has been flaring up almost daily for the last 2 weeks and I am afraid of the treadmill because of it. The c25k will have to wait.
Todays challenge- drink my water, exercize, and clean induction day

Have a great day gang!

Good Moring Everyone! Just checking in. I started Induction/Candida Anti-Yeast this morning. I still haven't done my 30 minutes of exercise yet. Since I will have my grandson in an hour I guess I better get that done, otherwise I'll put it off and won't do it at all. I know the exercise will be the hardest part for me this time around, but I can do it!

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Good Morning!

Started induction levels last week, just couldn't wait. I did well with eating on plan through the New Year holiday but had a few low carb beers so I'm sure that my day 7 weigh in will be rewarded with my first goal! So exciting and I'm so glad to be back at eating the way I should, healthy and feeling great!

Lots of water today and having myself tuna with mayo for my first meal. I was too busy this am to get it in for breakfast. Exercise tonight will be power 90 dvd...

We can do this!
Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! I am starting Induction over again today. Have had carbs several times over the last 5 days. So here we go!

The scale said 193 today but I won't change my stats yet.

Everyone have a great day!

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Well I made it through the pilates express class. Not a bad lil work out. She went over basics today. I'm just a little tired right now though.....I expect it will go away once I eat lunch.

Already drank 72oz of water. So doing well with that. Time to make a steak sandwich minus the bun

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

WOW It seems allot of you are exercising. That's wonderful.

I'm still going along. Went to the park yesterday with my family and ate Atkins.
No cheating, no chips, no soda, no cake or beans. Just burger, chicken and one hot dog with mustard and a little mayo and a slice of cheese. that was it.
I was full and satisfied.
Made home made pancakes this morning with my Granddaughter and put chocolate chips in them. They looked awesome and didn't touch them. The main reason I didn't even taste is because I felt so bad eating bad I dont' want to go back there.
Today is day 6 for me.

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Morning, all.

Had an epiphany last night. I had said yesterday that I would restart induction on Friday, since I have a ton of greek yogurt left. Too expensive to waste. In the meantime, I have been on rung 4 or 5, don't know which. No cheating.

So I'm lying in bed last night, and suddenly I thought, what kind of idiot ARE you, anyway, Evermind? Waiting 3 days to start induction because of a $6 container of YOGURT?

So I'm starting this morning. I never have induction flu, so not expecting anything awful, though I must say the thought of no cottage cheese or walnuts is depressing -but it's only for 2 weeks, and I can do almost anything for 2 weeks!

So, I'm finally willing and glad to join everyone going back to induction.

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Hi guys,
been in Migrain heck for the past few days... it's been bad. I've never had a headache like this in my life! nausea... sharp pain... etc... haven't logged on because I didn't want to complain... plus the light from the computer kills me....This headache has been here for 3 weeks so it's not related to induction... went to the dr once... going again today... went off induction after 5 successful days as I couldn't eat another egg... (ate ww toast, and a banana...) then it went down hill from there. Right now I'm trying to get my headache under control... reading a book on migrains... quite insightful. Haven't eaten today yet... not sure what to eat. nothing sounds good. Sorry to be a downer... I'll get back on track when my headache is gone.

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Hopejoy,

Sorry to hear about your migraines. I am on daily medication to prevent them....but sometimes it doesn't stop them!

I know how bad they are, I'm sorry you are hurting.

Hopefully your doctor can help you stop them!!

Best of luck.

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Hello everyone! Just finally getting to where i Can check in and post here .......... I had alot of catching up to do on challenge posts and updates after not being on much over the Holidays ......... anyways. Liz I'm so sorry to hear about your Migraine I have terrible troubles with them and espeically cluster ones like your having now. The last one was so bad they had to put me out in the ER with meds and fluids for 5 hours ......... sent me home after that with more meds and rest and forced fluids. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Hugs to you!

I am on day 8 of induction and so happy to be just 1 pound away from my low weight finally ........ I'm expecting tomorrow to hit it. Then it's all down from there!!!!! I'm feeling great and loving the safeness of being back on induction ......... I may just stay here for a little while and get some more weight off quicker ......... time will tell!

I hope you all have a wonderful afternoon and evening!

Re: Roll Call 1/2/08

Same story with me again today, still suffering from the after effects of food poisoning. The kidney pain alone is just killing me!
I was really looking forward to starting a clean induction today, but I barely managed 1/2 can of chicken soup.

I know I will get better, but I have no patience for being ill.
