Roll Call Fri 5/2

[Outback Jess]

Morning STACers, this is like putting on a familiar warm cozy jacket or sweatshirt or pair of shoes, coming here and starting the thread for roll call.
Ive been asked over time, "where do you get all that great stuff you say"....well these are just the words I have to use to keep me going, it's all just a bunch of self talk-shared with others.

Every morning I wake up now, and i go through things in my head. I am in ketosis, I am on day 18, my initial goal has been met. Weight loss is important, but not my focus. My focus is on what I actually am going to do! How I am going to eat today, and what form of exercise I will choose.

What are your plans to stay focused?

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

My focus is on this day & to not worry about the days to come. My focus is to eat well with the foods that nourish my body, mind & ultimately my spirit. My goal is to once & for all deal with old negative issues that still rear their ugly heads.

My goal is to let my inner beauty shine, smile from within & free myself from the negative cage I sometimes put myself in.

Please send good vibes my way as I have my appointment with my orthopedic doctor today. My biggest fear is that I'm going to have to have surgery again. Thanks!

Good morning to all but its actually 5:20pm here so I could almost say good evening its so late....so I ve uped my carbs a bit as I wasnt feelin too well...

and my goals are to stay alert and listen to my body and to take it one day at a time and I try to convince my mind and body that I do not need all those awful carbs so for once and for all I stick to this way of life.

I soooo hate my body cuz its sooo ugly to me and it ruins my self esteem, my self confidence and my life.... I want to be beautiful on the outside to help raise my innerself in more ways than one...I want to be skinny for once in my life..

i can do it I just have to focus and stay with u wonderful people...

Good morning to everyone! It will be a great day! It is FRIDAY afterall!

Jess - thanks for the encouraging words the other day. I'm taking things one day at a time.

My plan is to just keep going. I was encouraged today. The jeans I put on this morning that I haven't worn in about 10 days. Well - good news! They are a little loose. Didn't have to suck in to button at all and there is room in the butt! This is indeed a good day!

TGIF! Stay focused and take one day at a time.

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

I agree it is all in the planning! I got meals figured out for the day. I will walk the dog when it stops raining. I hope to quilt a quilt I have to get done and when that leads to frustration (if thread keeps breaking, fabric not acting right) my plan is to take an hour off and go to the gym. I have to plan for frustration if I don't, then I will eat everything in the house.

Last week I was working on said quilt and I was at a creative loss as to what I wanted to do, and I found myself thinking............."I want to head downstairs and eat something"................for some reason that was a light bulb moment for me........I analyzed myself......no hunger pains........I just had breakfast.........I wanted to eat out of frustration!!....................so I took the dog for a walk!! That worked!!

It was such an aha moment for me!! Maybe because I took the time to be in control!

Everybody have a great Atkins kind of day and stay in control and stay strong.

Thanks for the sharing that happens here!

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

Morning all!

My plan to stay focused is this... Although I am a major control freak, I need to keep reminding myself that I can't control what others think or do. I CAN control what I put in my mouth and what comes out of my mouth %$#@!

I am feeling really good - really positive. I am happy with what I see happening to my body - things are firming up, muffin top down, inner thigh rub down to a minimum

Yesterday, we sold our boys crib - was almost sad to see it go. Not sad enough to have anymore bambinos though - my uterus is in retirement and really enjoying it...Now I get to have fun transforming # 3's room into a "big boy" room - Ahhhhhhhhhh, another reason for some retail therapy...

Today, I am running and going to follow it up with spin class.
Picking child of the corn #2 up from school and relaxing with a bit of horrible "reality" TV on TIVO. Man! Watching some of those trainwrecks make me feel so much better about my boring life!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!!!

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

Aloha,
It is another beautiful day in Honolulu. I'm so GLAD that it is Friday. I've got a major deadline coming up and have to crank, crank, crank it out. My goal is to have brainpower focus to complete this task without distractions.
Today, food must take a second burner. It should be plain and ordinary. It should not run my life. Water will help me balance and refresh as I push on to meet my target.
First things first, and to day it is all about finishing my work.

Onward!
Hula

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

Afternoon everyone! My goal is to make it through the day! haha. It's Friday! I'm working on getting myself more energized. I'm in Ketosis but I don't really have much energy. Working on it though! Hope everyone is doing well!

Re: Roll Call Fri 5/2

Good day STACERS, well i really have nothing wise or insightful as far keeping me focused. I'm just gonna keep it simple, and keep on truckin' one day at a time. Hope everyone is doing well.
