Re: Roll Call 1-18-8!!!

Happy Friday everyone!

Work today and then I get a 3-day weekend, yay! Going grocery shopping tonight, will be nice to get back into the groove of cooking 3 meals a day for myself instead of just one.

Hopejoy & MsLynn--grats on the new losses!

Debby--that is the perfect attitude; focus on making the right choices from the very next bite

Mitzi--inspirational post...we are what we do rather than "what we eat"

Well, yesterday was good KINDA.. I stress KINDA because while I didn't do any cheating, I went without eating anything for a good 12 hours because my guitarist picked me up for band practice.. and we didn't stop until 8:30. Then it took an hour to get the equipment back in the car and go get something to eat. I got some mixed veggies and grilled chicken at Dennys. My throat hurts so much, we did our set list 3 times and I recorded 3 songs.

This morning I'm alright, had a nice omelette with cheese and red peppers for breakfast. Gonna get a salad for lunch.

Re: Roll Call 1-18-8!!!

Good morning! I slept in and I'm feeling kinda tired. Debating whether I should call today a rest day and NOT go to the gym, or whether I should just go. Still undecided.

Dh and I are all alone this weekend, as dd is in Tucson. Tomorrow we are taking a hike with Hopejoy and her hubby. Otherwise, no particular plans, which is just as I like it. He's off both Saturday AND Monday, and if anyone thinks I'm going to clutter up his days off with CHORES, they don't know me at ALL!

Scale says 199 again this morning, and that's just fine with me. I have a pattern, except for that !@$)*( 2.5 month stall, of losing consistently for about 9 days, then holding for an equal number of days. I am wondering where my body is in that regard. I've never lost 6 lbs in a day.
Saw the dr. yesterday for a variety of things, and I'm now on some antibiotics, so that may also interfere with some scale activity.

I am SO looking forward to reaching goal this year. I know I can do it, if I continue to be patient and work out really hard to keep my metabolism up, and eat right. THis is really the easiest way to lose weight, and I say that knowing full well what I've been through in the last couple of months.

So, now for some comments:

Plsmachic: WHAT THE HECK are you doing, eating sugar-free candy????? I assume it's the kind you buy, not the kind you make? You know better. You really do. This is why you keep stopping and starting. Get a grip, girl! Make your own sf candy and stop buying the stuff that gets you off track! C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Which reminds me, why are some stac-ers still drinking Atkins shakes? Do we not know better, y'all?)

MsLynn -Congrats! that's a whopping induction loss! a pound a day! Excellent, and just keep going! You're such a loser...........

Duchess - next time, bring some baggies of food with you. There's always a pause when people have to go to the bathroom or whatever. Munch on something quick in between sets. Don't want your blood sugar to get low - it will cause all sorts of weight-loss and cravings problems.

Hopejoy - nice job, resisting!

Hi Mitzie,

Another good one is -- if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

Yeah I was dumb and actually BELIEVED my guitarist when he said we'd be getting food once he picked me up.

Re: Roll Call 1-18-8!!!

I'm here, on plan, exercising, eating right and making those habits into a WOL! Reinforcing them.

Looking forward to a three day weekend. Hooray!

Re: Roll Call 1-18-8!!!

Hi Everyone.. Its been a crazy day for me.. Had to go to the dentist..cause I broke my tooth before Christmas and it was really hurting..

Well after the dentist and after the wearing off the numbing medicine.. I ended up back at the dentist in severe pain.. He says Its my nerves going....You attacked me.. also called it pulpitis.. I made him numb me back up while I did all the running around to get pain medicine.. Cause believe me Advil wasn't touching it...

My daughter got invited by a friend to the movies...and since I don't know her I made her brother go with her.. cause once this Vicoden kicks in I will be in lala land. Am I too over protective not letting my daughter hang out with friends at the theater? She is 15.. Thing is.. I see how bad some of the teens are there...

NO. No you're not. Not at all. If I had kids I'd follow them with an armored vehicle.

Stopping in to say good evening. I went for a run and now it's time for dinner.

Mitzi - thanks for the inspiration.

Re: Roll Call 1-18-8!!!

Good morning everyone! lol just woke up!

Still doing strong and I'm proud of myself for sticking with it! 5 days and I'm doing awesome. Drinking my water eating good foods. Last night my boyfriend, his mom, our roommate and I all went out to a play and then went to popeye's last night (not my first choice) and I did awesome! I peeled off all the chicken skin (cause it was deep fried) and ate some green beans.

My boyfriend's mom is on some weird diet where you eat something from column a, b, c, & d for every meal and its very limited to what you can eat and what amounts. She cheated I did not

now to clean my apartment and then go grocery shoppings!

NOOOOOOOOOO...you are not being too over protective. When my daughter (13) wanted to go to the mall with her friend. I went with them. I had to walk ten paces behind but I was with them. Too many bad things happen at the mall here especially on the weekend. Gang fights, girl fights etc. etc. Young girls prancing around in outfits you would not believe just to get boys attention. It is ridiculous. We told our daughter she was not going to be a "mall rat" so don't even try it. I think you did the right thing sending your son with her.

LOL...Thanks.. It would be different if I knew the girl..but I didn't..and I would have went but I was on drugs for pain...lol My daughter says she is a really good girl..and believe me she tells me about bad ones. There are kids she talks to at school but doesn't want to hang out with them... So as soon as the movie was over the other girls mom was there to pick her up and she talked to her for a few minutes

LOL Thanks.. As you know I homeschooled her for 5 years and we homeschooled parents can be a little over protective so I wanted to make sure Our Movie Theater is always in the paper about Teens misbehaving on Friday nights so I didn't want it to be her... I have never allowed the Mall thing either.... My sister and I got into a HUGE argument about that because she let her daughter who was 12 run around the mall.. . My daughter is 5 months older and I wouldn't let her.... You should have seen the way my niece was acting too...
