Roll Call on Easter Sunday

[Outback Jess]

Well it's here another one of those holidays we go out of our way to eat candy on. I can picture so many easter's waiting and waiting for that easter basket as a child....Trying so hard to figure out HOW that basket got here and WHO that bunny REALLY WAS...One year after the doorbell rang I just took off in a dead run around the house and found out who it was!

Have a plan today. Cook up something special this morning to have around the house today. Have a back up plan in place to secure your ketosis with. Don't fail to plan, failing to plan is like PLANNING TO FAIL.

We are on day 7 here of much cleaner eating...My pants are drooping, as is my stomach skin sags.... I now have decided I like the stomach skin sagging instead of filling back up!
I plan to eat well, maintaining the good vibes and I plan to get back on my bike now that the weather has warmed.
What are you planning!

Re: Roll Call on Easter Sunday

Happy Easter! And oh what a "Happy" day it is. Today is officially my 2 weeks. I am down to 144 from 160. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Not even that , I measured myself and I am down several inches everywhere. I just had to share my awesome news with all of my new friends who help me get by. If it wasn't for all of you I would not have been able to do this. THANK YOU!!! I am going to continue induction for another 2 weeks. I am not comfortable moving on. I hope everyone has a blessed day.

Good morning Stacers!

Taking a trip down memory lane of Easter past. I miss coloring eggs, egg hunts, building the kids baskets with special goodies, new outfits & cooking a big dinner. Good memories but I like life as it is with grown up kids!!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day & step away from the Easter candy!

I have no kids yet (getting married sept 27th and we are going to start trying right away !) but i am coloring eggs right now for fun. When i get to my mom's she is going to make deviled eggs out of them.

We are having roast, veggies, deviled eggs, and a tossed salad I am bringing. Of course there will be mashed potatoes and gravy, but of course I will pass

Have a great holidy everyone

Morning all!

Did the easter baskets/egg hunt in the house this morning with the kiddies (it snowed last night - ick). Going to the gym to swim for an hour or so. Afterwards, I am cooking a turkey and having some mashed cauliflower, salad and mashed taters & stuffing for the kids and hubby.
Happy Easter all!

Morning!

No Easter at our house, but I always make devilled eggs on Sunday, so I'm with you in spirit.

Yesterday was fab. DD and I drove up to see DS, who works at a very posh furniture company, and i ended up, with his discount, getting some stuff (had to put it on layaway, which they don't have normally, but for ME.........lol) We had lunch and just talked and talked and laughed our butts off at everything.

Then DD and I worked out HARD at the gym. Great. Ahhhhhhhhhh. I needed that. I got in a full 40 min of cardio for the first time in a long time, and then we did legs and abs. Felt good.

I had the evening to myself, as dh was working and dd went out with her friends for a birthday celebration. So I got to watch The Sound of Music, one of my favorite movies, with the cats on my lap.

Today dh is working a 12 hour shift so I woke up all alone Now I'm up and getting ready to start working on my thesis or some other Univ. project. I have GOT to slog through this!

Foodwise, nothing really appeals to me, still. I eat, but don't enjoy it, and don't look forward to anything. I have to go grocery shopping today so maybe I'll see something that inspires me.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Re: Roll Call on Easter Sunday

happy easter to all and happy sunday to all others today is a great day although i have not done any cardio just yet. and i only have three hundred pushups left....and being that my upper body is a little bit sore..i may give my body today to recover a little more. i will most likely do some more abs work today, maybe within 30 minutes or so and then i will update the appropriate threads

Happy Easter!
It is early to rise on this Easter morning. My boys found their Easter Baskets and are blowing bubbles.
We will go out for Easter brunch and an egg hunt. Lots of fun for everyone.
I'm not even thinking about chocolate, really, I'm not. I'm going to keep telling myself that.

Re: Roll Call on Easter Sunday

Good Morning...uh, afternoon... having a lovely Easter here on the west coast. Our Easter service was outside under the oak tree and everything is green green green. It was really nice, then they served breakfast... I was able to have eggs and some fruit. It was nice... dd, ds and dd's bf and dh all came... now we're having a quiet after noon of grazing, then dinner at mil later... Havie been lolling in the outdoor furnature reading the paper while the kids watch a movie. No cheats for me today, and no candy in the house unless you count the left over christmas candy! ha! We just aren't that into sweets except me! Everyone said 'Don't buy Easter candy mom...' so I didn't... and they're happy... isn't that amazing? Well, I'm glad everyone is having a good day, and I'm glad to hear that your tummy is shrinking Jess and mimom...great job on your induction!!!! whooo hoo!

I'm wearing my new size 8 capri's... it's very motivating to have a snug pair of pants you want to stay fitting into...

Re: Roll Call on Easter Sunday

I survived dinner at my Dad's house today. They served roast, some vegetables with cheese sauce, bread, a heaping bowl of mashed potatoes and strawberry pie. I had some roast and fried some cabbage in bacon, and made it through the day without cheating.

Day five of induction is almost over, and day six starts tomorrow, as does my recommitment to get to the YMCA and start exercising again after a three-week layoff. So far, so good. I don't know if I can tell much difference in my body yet, but hopefully, it'll come.

My weakness is the taco salad I make. I put too much sour cream on top, and probably eat too much beef, but it's a nice dish to break the monotony.
