Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Morning, all!

My biceps are SOOOO sore from our workout with a trainer 2 days ago. Yesterday was severe pain, today slightly less. Yikes! But it's a good hurt.

Last night when we went to bed we were prepared to wake up this a.m. to a major storm, complete with high wind and tons of rain. (We're in So. Cal, and it's coming down from the north). It's raining, but not terribly, and there doesn't appear to be much wind. I haven't gone outside to see how cold it is, but so far today, so good. My ds has to fly to San Fran, back to his dad, and I have to keep checking to see if his flight is delayed - so far, not.

Later today, dd and I are going back to the gym. No outside run today, obviously, but I should probably take a day break on that, anyway.

Then, tonight, dd is going out with her buddies, so dh and I will be ALONE in our house!!!!!!! (not a frequent thing, not at all!) I think I'll light candles and make a nice dinner and we can just enjoy the quiet and one another.

Sandy - you're doing great! One day at a time, girl. Enjoy cooking today!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh - what a difference some good gym time can have on a super yucky mood

I went to the gym after having a "whoa is me" moment and ran for 1.9 miles - That's the farthest I've ever gone!!! I'm so happy and proud of myself - Now I feel like a turd for being a baby and complaining....

Thanks Deb & Sheepie! I really appreciate your words It's funny how I can look at others and see how great they look, but can't do that with myself - sad, 'eh?

Only a few more hours 'till I get to spend some time with my hubby- Looking forward to getting a break from the kids too

Hope everyone has a great Sat!

Well went to the market and had fun - it was a good sales day and I'm home now and going to do a recipe sheet for people so they know what to do with the stuff Figured that would help (especially since I have personally never cooked a ham roast and I am selling them)

Thanks for visiting my site! Yep - my kids scoop the poop and sell it! Llama poop was featured in Southern Living last gardening season so even my city mother wants some now.

Off to do <ugh> paperwork.

Good Morning All!
This is day 5 of induction, and all's well. Was surprised that I wasn't aching from the work out yesterday. I did alot of ab work, and thought I would be really sore today. Woke up this morning to a wonderful Atkins perfect breakfast, prepared by DH. Now getting ready to run some errands, back home for a workout, and then preparing dinner for a dinner party here tonight. Have a great day all!

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Well I am officially depressed... I decided to organize my bills today... And I ONLY need $10,200 to get the stupid things caught up.. UGH.. And that doesn't even count my gas or food for the month..

Hubby is going to die when I tell him.. He too is self employed and we have had crappy employees...No one wants to work..and he pays well.. We just finally started working my son.. he is 18 and he needs to make a living..

I am so wanting to drown myself in some chocolate...but I won't.... I am going to go and watch the football game and HOPE the Redskins don't win! (Cowboy fan...lol)

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

You know Sandy - I liked you .... I really did..... But as a Redskin fan, I now need to think about our friendship....

You'll do just fine... seriously I know it looks like a huge number but take it in pieces and it will work itself out. I totally know what you are talking about with people who don't want to work....it used to drive us nuts when we owned the store. And people wonder why I don't hire people so we can do more markets!! It's unbelievable what people want to be paid and not work for it.

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Sandy - Sorry you too feel my pain about doo-doo employees. It is so nice to work for yourself - but at the same time, totally freaky when you take into consideration, medical & dental insurance, remembering to put money aside for 401 or investments, taxes, and all the other not so fun expenses when you're self employed.

Perk up! Say NO to the chocolate - it will taste like caca anyways

Dana - You're so right about what people want to be paid, yet not actually work to EARN their pay. OY VEY!

Oh the joys of being self employed Don't even get me started on our rental properties... hehe

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Hi, this is my second time around. Lost 50 lbs, kept off for about 2 years.
I am reading posts on several Atkins groups and hoping to get refreshed on starting induction.
What would you suggest I read to get an overview of doing Atkins, it all sounds familiar but I am missing some key nuggets. Like I just read about % of fat, protein and carbs. I had totally forgotten that. I know it is 20 carbs, but have forgotten the little things, you know. Soooo, any tips or advice would be appreciated. I know Read the book, I read posts and the FAQ and old posts to see how to do it. Not a big learner with books. Stories and facts and tips help jog my memory so I can get going again. I have copied and pasted the basics, but need help getting grocery list and pulling recipes that kinda thang. Hope the best for you all to reach your goals and feel happy and energetic, that is what I am looking forward to, and a good nights sleep .

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Just want to stop by and say hi .... I'm still getting back in gear --- food and ADBB board wise. Oh, and exercise too. I'm getting closer to actually doing some!!

My, my, Sandy, you were up awfully early for a Saturday! And good luck with the $$$ stuff. This is a tough time of year for that.

Re: Saturday Roll Call 1/5/08

Good job Sandy...
Hi everyone... I'm just now checking in... ran out of the house early today to go get my hair done at a cosmetology school... it was my first time there. I had an appointment to get color and highlights but they forgot to tell me that I had to have an allergy test which takes 24 hours which they couldn't even start today as they're closed tomorrow... so needless to say I was disappointed in my hair! I only got a cut... going back to the Paul Mitchell school next week (different school, doesn't require the allergy test) for the color... as it's near work... cheap... and they do a good job... But I did get a pedicure (red with white flowers) and french manicure... not really that relaxing though with students. All that cost me $30.50 (haircut, manicure and pedicure) plus tips... pretty good huh?

So my wt is staying steady... 177 new scale 173 old scale... trying hard to stay 'unstressed' which isn't easy being alive and all... neck and head are still hurting... migraine still there on and off ... not really getting a handle on it yet. still trying to figure it out... anyways, nice fire... watching movies... and hanging out.
