Good morning!

I'm here... not too much to say I kinda started my day in a REALLY crappy way.

But, I'm here, and on track. I hope all of you are also! Check in!!

Re: Roll call 7-19

I'll let y'all know how the trip to Logan's Roadhouse goes tonight... Tuesday is the end of my two week induction.

I did a ton of reading on the board and on the internet yesterday trying to decide if I'm going to do extended induction or try the ole OWL.

At this point, I'm leaning towards extended Induction. It's just so easy. And if I get in a mindset that I'm just eating to stay alive, I don't get bored and restless with the food.

Plus, we are moving next week and will be staying in a 24 foot travel trailer for the next few months while our house is being built. We'll be grilling out a lot.

But, anyway, still deciding. We'll see what the scale says on Tuesday morning. Since I only have about fifteen pounds to lose, I guess that should be about 1.5 pounds. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's a teeny amount more than that!

Good Morning!

Kelly good luck tonight and stay on plan! You are so close to completing your two week induction. Don't let anyone or anything take that away from you.

I am starting my fourth day today and am going strong. I am determined to keep this up. I know what kind of weight I can lose because I have done Atkins before, about 10 times! There is a positive in there though I have learned along the way what the pitfalls are for me and what made me go off the diet before. This time I am going to be more aware.

PLS...thanks for starting the thread today. And it will get better! Make it so!

Here and hot! NJ is expected to be in the mid nineties today. YUCK! (All you Floridians are laughing at us Yankee wimps now). I am staying inside and doing some oil painting today.

Re: Roll call 7-19

Mornin' Deb. Yep, Tuesday is right around the corner. No food cheats but I've had some coffee and a couple of Diet Cokes.

Oh, well. I haven't weighed since I started so Tuesday will be Weigh Day. I only want to lose fifteen so I'm only counting on 1.5 pounds lost. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that it'll be a teeny weenie amount more than that.

I eat a lot of salt/sodium so tomorrow and Monday, I'll cut way back on that. I don't want salt intake to screw up my scale motivation.

Deb, when you say Clean Induction, do you mean without coffee and Diet drinks? how do you do it?

You don't even know. It's been in the 90s here since the beginning of April. I have to get up at 7-no later than 8-to exercise or it's not happening.

Stay cool.

BTW, I got some superglue to fix my running shoes so hopefully, I'm back in business.

My husband offered to buy me a new pair today but when we move next week, there's an outlet mall right down the interstate. It has a big Nike store so I'll wait.

Re: Roll call 7-19

Clean induction for me is staying at 20 carbs or less a day and not eating any junk food or anything that isn't on the plan. I drink diet soda and decafe coffee.

Re: Roll call 7-19

So, Deb, you made it through the first three days. Good for you. Supposedly, it gets easier but I don't find induction hard. There is just too much good stuff that you can eat.

I do find it hard to give up caffeine. The headache is incomparable.

So, according to your rules I'm doing a clean induction. I'm PROUD!

Kelly
Day four for me is going really well. It is around this time that the sugar cravings start to subside and I am staying full longer, therefore eating less. I have been entering all the food I eat on Fitday.com and it is amazing. I am staying at 20 carbs or under and my calories range from 1100 to 1300 and I never feel hungry. That is what I love. I have done 1200 calorie a day diets before and I am starving on them and having very bad sugar attacks!

I don't think I will ever give up the diet soda completely, but I am going to challenge myself to drink less of it. I only drank a ½ cup of coffee this morning. It is funny when I do Atkins I start to lose the taste for coffee and start drinking tea. Weird.

Glad to hear you got your shoe glued LOL. It was nice of hubby too to tell you to go get another pair. Oh well the Nike's will be worth waiting for.

Good morning Mrs. S I want to see the new Batman movie too. We always wait a week or two before going to the show when something really popular is playing. The only one that we do try to see the first or second day it is out is the "Harry Potter" movies. We love'em. Have you seen "Hancock"? We went to see it. I know the critics hated it, but we kinda of enjoyed it. It was different, really different.

Well my break from painting the ceiling is over. Back to work with me.

Re: Roll call 7-19

here! and on track. and not feeling well today. what's this "induction flu" I keep hearing about? I was feeling good, higher energy levels, and today I feel so tired and my stomach feels off. sigh.

(this won't make me go off it, of course!)

[WestcoastDeb]

Re: Roll call 7-19

Steady,

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling good. Hopefully it is just the induction flu and nothing major. Hope you feel better.

[steady as she goes]

Re: Roll call 7-19

thanks, hope so too! I think it's just a cleansing thing. I'm now breaking out in zits. gross. but at least my stomach feels good again.

I didn't have induction flu last time I did atkins, but I guess this is it! booo to the flu!
