Hope you all have a great day.

Blueberry - Congrats!!! A 4lbs loss is awesome!

Mornin all!

We have playgroup this morning at the firestation. I made the firemen cookies (since the tour/visit is free, I feel guilty going in there with nothing...) I'm sure we'll have a good time.

Tonight is Moms Night Out! Playgroup girlfriends and I are heading to a comedy club to watch some unknown try to be funny... I love it! Should be groovy!

Still holding at 105, feel great. I do think that since I have hit my goal and really don't plan on getting any lower, that I am going to lower my cardio and up my weight training. I want people to be able to see the work I have put into my bod - that and I want to be able to bounce quarters off my butt

Hope everyone has a super fantastic day!!

Well done ladies with the weight lose.

Im doing good, no cheating.. I didnt eat any veggies yesterday I know thats bad.. I didnt really eat much at all again. That seems to be my down fall I get busy and Im not hungry and then realize its been awhile since i ate so I get some thing quick.

As of yesterday I was coming back into ketoses, it was faint on the testing strip so I need to check again today. I Hope to see dark purple soon and I plan on staying there NO MORE cheating. Im finely feeling good after the cupcake cheat on Monday.. EVIL cupcakes ;-) and have been writting stuff down.

Good Morning...
Big day for me... I just became a supporting member. 'bout time eh?
Think I'll get out there and jog around the pool.

Oh, in other big news, my son joined the Marines 2 days ago. He's 18 with 1 more year of high school. Have talked myself blue in the face about going to college first. Did he listen? no. He does want to be an officer, but feels he'll have more respect coming in as an enlisted guy and moving up. Very athletic, very motivated, passed all the intellegence tests with flying colors so he qualifies for everything... very proud of him despite my initial freak out... he has a great deal of patriotism as well as honor. He will make a fine Marine.

Okay, everyone hold hands and pray for him now.

I meant to post something about myself, but I accidentally hit enter and it posted. My day today is well, it is Sunny and I am feeling very good about myself, today is day 8 on induction (for the umpeenth time around) and I have no urge to cheat. Life is Good on Atkins, my one problem is finding different things for dinner to keep it creative.

Wow liz - that's some HUGE news! That's pretty awesome, I must say. You gotta be proud you raised a good one Keeping him (and your family!) in my thoughts & prayers.
Does he have to finish HS before he goes to basic? Or because he's 18, he can enlist and finish HS while in the marines?

Hey everyone! I'm doing well today. Super sore from weightlifting this week. Hey Liz that's great news about your son! I thank him for the hard work he is going to do for this country. My brother is a sergeant in the Marines. Marines rock! Semper Fi!

Congrats on both accounts... My husband is in Iraq right now, this time as a contractor and not military. He did that in 03/04 as a member of the NG and still is with the NG but he took time off to go over as a contractor.

Sounds like your son will do great and I wish him the best.

Re: Roll Call 7/10 Thrusday

Oh wow, just came in here to see what's going on... I was so touched by all your comments, I have tears streaming down my face right now. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and support. It is big. Colleen, to answer your question, he has to finish high school. He'll start basic training next summer. In the meantime apparently it puts him higher on the list of what he really wants to do. (special forces) I have to let go of my worries and know that if John McCain's son can do it, so can mine. We don't have freedom because it's free, it's because of men like my son... so even though I would choose something else for him because I know that the Marines will be a difficult life. It is his life and it's the life HE chooses because it is hard and challenging. That is what he wants. Some people are born for things like that, he's one of those people. There is nothing I could do or say to stop him, so all I can do now is get out of the way, love him and be proud. He is a man now. It feels totally different now with him. I'm going to completely stop being a nag and just shut up.

Thank you so much for your kind and caring words.
