Roll Call Sunday 2/10/2008

[chicamarun]

Hi everyone!! Well this morning I feel pretty good. No weight change but I still feel just fine and I know that I have lost more inches.

I got the cutest pair of overalls yesterday - yes they are plain just jeans but I was looking for a pair for my "farm look" and I was worried because I ordered a large - not an extra large. THEY FIT!!! Perfectly!! A little large even which is cool (don't want tight fitting)

SO everyone have a great day!!

Must be in the air, I'm feeling thinner too! What a great feeling! Good-bye inches Time to rustle up some grub and start the day.

Good morning!
We decided not to go to church today. Snow and high winds are making it dangerous to take the kids out in a minivan.

Dana, I've been meaning to ask (maybe I missed it), are you new to farming? I get the feeling that this is a new experience for you. Did you grow up on a farm? If not, why the conversion? Everything seems so new and exciting and it's fun to hear about it.

Nothing new in Atkinsland here. Oh, I added photos yesterday, but no one said a word. I'm wondering if maybe I should delete them. I feel funny being so out there now.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Don't delete them Sheepie!! It's hard to make the decision to post a picture & put yourself out there. I for one love having a picture to put with a name! Thanks! My apologies for not posting something yesterday when I saw your pictures.

Struggling with the winter blues/Seasonal Affect Disorder. Snowed again last night. My mother also suffers from this & has been supportive. I've ordered a full spectrum light & anxiously await its arrival!!

Have a great day everyone!

Morning!!!

Lost a lb - which was nice, now I'm only 2 above lowest..

Still feel like dookie. I can feel the cold moving into my chest - yuck!

Date day with Sebastian (my oldest) and other than that, there's a whole lotta nothing going on!

Sheepie - I LOVE THE PICS! Please don't delete them, it's nice to have a face with a name. I have to admit, I felt the same way when I put mine up, it's kinda scary! You look great, keep 'em up!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 2/10/2008

We are new to farming - my background is in computers So it's very new (this is our 3rd year)..... we moved from a neighborhood with 50 kids on the court to the 32 acres. My husband grew up on 10 acres and I grew up on 5 - we didn't like having neighbors that close - LOL.

The actual farming stuff - well that kinda exploded.... started with 25 chickens and 6 llamas. Now we have over 300 chickens (more coming next month), 17 sheep, 7 goats, and 3 llamas. It's very fun and everyday is something new. It blows my mother's mind (understand I grew up in a debutante world....not farming). But we enjoy it - give me something to do... and I love doing the farmer's markets. However, it's interesting how seasonal it is - this is the really hard season for us because we don't have a lot of extra money (understand - my husband also works full-time and makes a good salary or else this would not be possible at all where we currently live)... but we start growing veggies and more at the end of this month - that's my husband's thing - I deal with animals and the marketing

Ok - I think that I rambled enough!

Just got back from Sam's Club and they had atkin's bars - so I grabbed a box so in case I need to grab something running out the door - which happens at least 1x per week I can eat something. We'll see - I'm afraid to try them because I might binge but at the same time I just need something when I'm in a hurry some days.

Morning!

Sheepie : DON'T REMOVE THE PHOTOS! I didn't even see them yesterday, that's why I didn't comment. You're so cute!

Colleen - take care of yourself. That cold is a killer, at least in my part of the world.

So today I am going to take a run/walk, and continue to work on my thesis and the other indep. study project. A nice day outside, so I've got windows open and the house is airing out.

Last night when I was doing my cardio, I reflected on where I am. I thought back on that two-month stall, and was so grateful I made it thru. And then I thought: WAIT A MINUTE. I stalled at 200 lbs, and now I'm 200 lbs. I AM STILL IN THAT DANGED STALL!

I was so ticked off, and started to feel frantic, and then my brain clicked in. I can't be in a stall, because I lost 15 inches last month. So, the 197 turned into 200, but I'm smaller.

WHEW!

It's going to be a good day. Because I will make it so. You do the same.

Re: Roll Call Sunday 2/10/2008

I'm restarting today so I thought I'd learn to join in these roll call thingys! So hello and all that jazz! I'm off to nab some Ketostick and a few things to put together that Cheeseburger Quiche later today - so tasty!

And as soon as I locate everyone's photos, I'll comment. I get incredibley lost in some of these forums. I actually just redid my new befores and my hubby's today - eeps! I know the feeling of feeling "out there". Its like HI, HERE'S MY ROLLS lol

And congrats, just going off the photos in your signature, your face is SO much thinner!

Don't delete! I can tell a huge difference in your face in the 2nd photo! It's nice to see who we're talking to!

I'm here, can't believe they tried to call me in again last night after everything this week! UGHH! I quickly said no, no again, and gotta go, not up for debate- no!

Going out for my birthday(16th) with Daddy today, since I'm working nights all weekend next weekend. Going to a place that has great salads and home made blue cheese dressing that I have verified is safe! Start the water challenge tomorrow and I've been practicing, so I know I can do this!

Re: Roll Call Sunday 2/10/2008

Hey everyone!

Haven't been hanging around much - been playing with my bf and his good friend for his bday. I surprised my bf by buying a ticket for his friend to get down here. He had no idea and was so shocked! This was friday and we have just been going everwhere!

Been sticking to plan although admittedly haven't been excercising like I should. Been walking a lot though and we danced on friday so it hasn't been too awful. I just know though that come monday when I work out again my muscles will definitely feel it. oh well

Re: Roll Call Sunday 2/10/2008

Afternoon all

Hope you are all having a great weekend. Love the new photos Sheepie it has been awhile since you have posted one. I can see the difference! Good for you!

Mrs Brittney
I think it is great you posted your before photos along with your husbands. It is going to be a wonderful gauge for you to see how much weight you have lost and how your body is changing. Welcome to roll call.

Not too much to report here. I am on plan and feeling better. The key for me is to try new recipies so I don't get bored and start looking for the wrong kinds of things to eat.

Take care
Debby
