Roll call 4/21 Monday

"To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for it's prime function of looking forward." ~~Margaret Fairless Barber

Back to basics is the theme for me. Looking back at the past few weeks I can look forward to moving ahead in my journey to health. I have faith that I can do this despite what life throws in my path!

Have a great day Stacers!

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Yep me too, my basics include coming here first thing, exercise and low carb eating. I know if I can accomplish the small things, the big stuff will take care of it's self, you know the weight loss will come along on it's own timing. If I can sustain the smaller habits that keep me in ketosis then things will truly improve in my life. As big picture of a person that I am, I recognize the need for the small stuff....it makes my world go round.

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Last Saturday, I weighed myself- and to my surprise I had lost 4kg (8 oz) in my first week of induction!!! However, disaster struck and I fell to temptation and binged carb food the entire weekend despite my achievement. What I DO know is that I will never give up- I will learn from my mistakes and not to repeat them!

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Well this is my first roll call in about 2 months and sadly I am starting at point 0...but I guess you have to start somewhere. I am excited to be getting started today and With the weather finally turning spring like here I can't wait to do all kinds of outside exercise. I have already taken the dog for a walk this morning and I feel great!! I know I am going to need a lot of support, especially in these first few days....so thanks in advance!

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Today is the day that I step back and take control of myself again. I have been sneaking in sugar and not exercising. I am determined to start a clean induction today and exercise. I am so glad I have my fellow Stacers to count on to be there for me. Thanks again for all the support.

Checking in for the week! Haven't lost and haven't gained - still doing my P90X. I'm getting extremely tired of it, I'll be so glad when its over in three weeks. I'm going to get Turbo Jam if I can afford it. Hope you guys are doing well! Have a wonderful day!

Morning all!

After running the chitlins to school today, I'm heading to the gym - I plan on running 3 miles then have spin class - burn baby burn!
Endulged in a little retail therapy yesterday. Bought a few new things - size 2! Felt pretty dang good to be able to try them on and not see a muffin top poking out of the top

Hope everyone has a fab day!!!

OH I forgot!

Party - I think I remember you saying you were going to try Creme De La Mer - Did you? What did you think?? I have been thinking of trying it and wanted some feedback

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

the creme de la mer, believe it or not colleenie, was not moisturizing enough for me out here in the desert, but it was DELICIOUS!!! you can get a sample at saks, if there is not by you let me know and i can send you the rest of my sample.

back to basics for me as well, and it feels good to have a plan.

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Good morning! I weighed in 2 lbs lighter today - haven't checked the scale in a couple of weeks so I don't know when it happened - and that made me feel happy. But more important than the scale is what FITS, and yesterday I tried on a bunch of clothes I haven't been able to wear in several years, and they are all fitting - snugly, but fitting. Woo hoo!

I'm fighting off a cold and am back home today. Have errands in the afternoon so no gym, which sucks because I've been missing it a LOT. However, still on track food-wise, and feel healthy.

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Morning everyone!
Hope all are well! My computer is still broken I'm going to talk to my IT guy I work with see if he can fix it...

Anyway I lost 6 lbs on my first week of Induction! Woo hoo! I'm feeling great!

Today I start my challenge. I'm walking from Hobbiton to Rivendell! Haha, it sounds so much cooler that way than "I start my workout today..."

Well have a great day every one! Good luck and stay strong!

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

I am back with you guys. Got everyone settled down here, had a talk with family telling them that I am a stress eater and that we need to keep things under control!! haha. So now that I have said that I better get some weight off!! or it will look like it is my fault that I am heavy!! hahahaha....................( I know it is, but I do need their help to help myself!). I almost wanted to sign under a new name, something like "2big4mybritches" but I thought better of it and now that I have confessed that I am a past participant, I am getting with the program!! I had a smart atkins breakfast, and I will be looking for my atkins book this afternoon, to keep at my desk for reference and inspiration! Thanks for having me back and hopefully I will be a better individual/team player and help you all along this weight reducing, better health path!!

Re: Roll call 4/21 Monday

Aloha,
Today just feels like it will be a productive day. One of those days when I crank through all the pent up tasks that have been weighing on my mind....
This morning, I'm going to fuel myself with eggs.
