As we set our goals & reach them our confidence builds. This carries on into other parts of our lives. It is amazing how this WOE/WOL impacts all aspects of our lives!!

Have a wonderful day Stacers!

Good Morning! I don't think I even checked in yesterday, crazy day with the kids. Staying on track, almost done with induction. Looking forward to weighing on Saturday and seeing where I'm at.

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

I am sitting here reading posts and planning my day and I keep saying over and over "I want to loose 5lbs this month, I want to loose 5lbs this month....I am starting to visualize and capture this...Focusing and keeping that edge all day long.

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Well I had a major blunder yesterday so today is clean out my system day again. I am going to my water! I am upset with myself cause I really had no reason to cheat . I was making cookies I was going to give away and I just gave up for no apparent reason and ate...and ate...and ate... It was not like I didn't have legal treats I could have had, I just didn't use them. But it is a new day!

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Good morning everyone.

Little work rant:

Glenda, I read your words and I think of my job, and not in a good way either! I'm on the verge of quiting this week. My boss wants everyone to be unthinking little robots and if there's one thing I'm not, it's an unthinking little robot! It's definitely eating away at my self-esteem, but it's beyond him to understand this. It doesn't seem like a glaringly obvious reason to quit and maybe it would be foolish. I have to give it some more thought. I wonder if it's this woe/wol that's affecting my thinking at work. Of course if I quit, there's that whole sticky issue of finding another job in an economy that appears to be tanking. Ah life! LOL!

Otherwise, my family is great and if my family is great, life is great!

Everyone have a great, legal day today. And Sheepie, remember those vitamins!

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Morning everyone!! Well I made it through the night... and woke up to a mini-wooshie

Lost 2 lbs and am super excited as the scale hadn't moved for a short period of coming up on 2 weeks.

So I get to go and check on the lambs born yesterday - everyone was fine last night at 8pm - including the momma who was starving

So my coffee is made and I need to head out. Have my pilates express today and then get to butcher chickens!! WOOHOO!!! Yeah - I know I'm odd

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Still doing well here, though no water weight lost yet. Considering buying some ketostix, though i normally don't put much faith in them I think seeing the colour change will help me keep going.

sticking so far with mainly induction foods for now..will probably move on next week and start adding back some owl foods.

Trying really hard to not consume so much dairy though...having a hard time with that one!

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Good Morning! Well, we will not talk about yesterday. Today is my day to shine! I got up this morning and made my ham an cheese omelet & I am not going to cheat...I am not going to cheat...I am not going to cheat!

Come on girls say it out loud - scream it if you have to.

Starr we are going to be great today and nothing is going to get us. Not the cookies, or the whoopie pies (I knew exactly what you were talking about) or in my case the butter pecan icecream.

Today i am going to be good until I lay my head on my pillow tonight. One day at a time.

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Last night I had Buffalo Wild Wings (LOVE THEM)

But, I wasn't 100% induction friendly. I had a Captain & diet... not too bad I know.. and I had one of my son's smiley fries... but I'm not beating myself up over it. Anyone who's hadt their "buffalo chips" - the circle cut potatoes deep fried and covered with shredded cheddar cheese... Anyone who's had those would be proud of me, for when my friend ordered my fav side dish and waved them in my face to "just come on,have some, it wont hurt you" - I said Nay! Nay my friend! I shall not have your carb-laden gooey goodness. Because I see through it... and I see it on my hips!!

I didn't say those words cus that'd be corny as he**, but I did refuse them

And my hips look smaller this morning


Happy Wednesday everybody!

And, I just wanted to let everyone know, I will be reaching my goal this year.

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Good morning everyone, no significant weight loss at all. I was so excited to see 2 pounds drops and that's been it. Today is the end of my induction.
I've not cheated at all. Been really good.
Oh well, I'll keep on plugging. Not gonna stop. There's no other way but this one.
Everyone have a good and healthy eating day.

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Good Morning STACer's,

Isn't it odd, how that one little bite can destroy all your hard work? Been there done that, believe me. Doing this right, this time, last time barely any exercise except my gigs, spent 40 minutes last night on all 4 pieces of exercise equipment. My body feels like I got beat up in the middle of the night and didn't know it. No pain, no gain I guess thats what they say. Eating 100% strictly legal. Induction is going well. No headaches, no tiredness, but I am moody, which is really out of sorts for me, snapping at everybody.....that's kind of weird. I'm thinking it's a chemical withdraw thing or something. Anyway, enough about me, I hope everybody has a wonderful day, and once again, raise my water bottle to say, 'Life is good, success to everyone'.

Your Buddy,

[blue996]

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Morning Everyone! I am finally back at my ticker weight after a week of a 1 -2 pound stall. I am also travelling for the next four days which makes me worry as I never get enough veggies in. Hopefully this loss will stick!

[colleenieweenie]

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Mornin all!

Woke up this morn and weighed in at 115 - I don't know what's going on, why I'm gaining. I work my butt off everyday - running, classes, strength training. I never cheat - EVER. I eat clean. I'm grumpy - same 'ol, same 'ol.....

Re: Roll Call Jan 09, 2008

Good Morning Everyone,

Crazy day about to get underway here. We have a real estate agent coming over to look at our house to let us know what he thinks we can sell it for. Yesterday we were out in the next town looking at houses and we found one that we really liked in a beautiful neighborhood. Anyway we will see what happens.

This is my 10th day of induction, no cheats and I am so excited. I have never gotten this far before without falling off the wagon. I am so determined to see this through and adopt this lifestyle change. My goal was to be at 145 lbs on Monday after the 14 day induction. Keeping my fingers crossed that the whooshie fairy cooperates LOL.

I hope you all have a wonderful legal day. Start fresh with your head up if you've fallen off the wagon because today is a new day. You can do this!

Debby
