    Re: Roll Call Saturday 3/28/09

    The soccer game didn't get rained out, and my daughter didn't catch any butterflys, but not for lack of trying. 5 year old soccer isn't really soccer, but they have fun.

    I got my lawn mowed and fertilizer put down. It is looking like the storm hung a left at Pensacola and is heading up the west side of Georgia. I might just be able to grill some steaks tonight after all. I'm saving the laundry for when the rain starts. I'll probably lose power I plan that way, but there's always tomorrow.

    Julie, start your DH with something small, like noticing that cleaning needs to be done. I still don't notice the dirt on the floors, but my wife can feel individual dust molecules through the soles of her shoes. It's gotta be at least 6 inches long for me to notice floor dirt. Tell him vacuuming is like mowing the lawn indoors. Just hope he doesn't want a riding vacuum with a beer holder.

        Good afternoon everyone! I got up today and did a nice long workout. I did 15 minutes on the eliptical, and then I got off and attempted some "simple" (to the average Joe) leg exercises and then I did a bunch of upper body weights and crunches. Excellent Saturday workout! I can't believe I did 15 on the elipical! That Rocks!!!

        I plan on paying some bills and maybe cleaning the car and garage today...or tomorrow, whatever. I THINK I'm gonna go out tonight...pretty sure of it. Go show off my 12 pounds lighter self!

        Sandy, great job at the Mexican place...those chips are MY criptonite!

        Ratucker5...make sure to take some low carb treats with you. Maybe some cheese cubes or some celery and cream cheese. Good luck! Popcorn doesn't phase me, but those chips at the Mexican restaraunts...ugh! I can eat a whole basket all by myself.

        Ack! Kelly...I just changed my weigh in day to friday because I didn't want to "not workout" over the weekend for fear of a monday weight gain. Maybe I'll switch back to monday after I get a real good consistent workout going???? Hmmmm I weight myself so often, so maybe it doesn't matter. I just want to have a "day" that is "official" for record keeping.

        Enjoy your saturday!!!


        Started: 3/2/09

        ~280~270~260~250~240~230~220~210~200~190

        Realistic Final Goal: 190
        Stretch Goal: 140


        Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.

          You know, Rajenki, I would say if you weigh every day then it doesn't matter. Can't imagine a scenario where it would. That would only makes sense for "weekly" weighers...

          Have fun "out" tonight. I'm jealous.

              Good evening, everyone! I'm tired tonight, it was really tough at my Dad's today. He was confused today, it seems to be happening a lot more often now. He kept trying to get out of his chair and he can't walk, nor stand up. So, I was up and down with him. I have to lift him out of chair and hold him up when he has to go to the bathroom. There's one thing about it though, I am getting muscles in my arms. They aren't as flabby as they were.

              Anyway, I'm another pound down today, so I'm good. Everyone have a nice weekend.
