    Roll Call 4/19/09 Sunday

    Good morning, STACer's!! It's Sunday!! I'm ready to get my hands dirty again and do some more planting!

    Haven't weighed in yet today but as of yesterday have fully recovered from my Easter transgressions!! Thank goodness. I fought to get back into ketosis.

    I hope everyone is doing well. I think we have a few in our midst who aren't feeling well. I'll read your check ins later and get back to you! We have a lot of members missing lately. I sent some PM's to a few of them yesterday. Let's see if we can wrangle them up and get 'em back here!!

    Sandy-I hope your daughters dance was marvelous and that the 2 of you had a wonderful day together yesterday!!

    TJ-Where are you?

    Zarabelle-Congrats on the lost pounds!! You've earned their disappearance!!

        Hey all, I found the website again! I don't know why, but I've been having a rough time lately sticking to plan. I cheated last weekend, and then again this weekend. My head is all messed up right now, and I don't know why. Everything in my life seems fine, I just lost total control somewhere between my hand and my mouth. I seem to have left Wonderland. Ev gave me a kick in the pants though, and I'm signing up for the #52 6WEC. Hopefully that will give me the boost I need. Something's got to give here.

          Good Morning!
          What a beautiful Pennsylvania Morning! Yesterday I got the grass cut, blew out and mulched all the leaves that were left over from the fall/winter (I live in the woods), and started prepping the mulch beds for new mulch. All that and I stayed on plan, and woke up this morning with a weight GAIN instead of a loss. Oh well...it's a war of attrition sometimes.
          I'm realized yesterday that I finally passed the 45 pound mark...which is half of my main goal, and only 9 pounds from my big goal. Typing those I remember thinking "maybe in a year or so I'll be there." Now it's almost here and I couldn't be happier! My goal is actually to get down to 274 by Friday so that I will have posted a 50 pound loss by opening day.
          TJ, I just went through the same thing for about 2 or 3 weeks...it spirals out of control fast, doesn't it? The best way I found to get back into it was not to ease back in, but to jump in 110% with a very strict induction. That way all the decisions are made for me and I'm limited in what I can do. Sometimes the best self control is to give away the control all together.

          Good day to all!

            Re: Roll Call 4/19/09 Sunday

            Good Morning everyone! TJ - I just wanted to tell you that I know you can do this. I look up to you and I know alot of others around here do too. Please don't sell yourself short! I've fallen off the wagon, with so many regrets, and I know you have too. I know that you have had some dissapointments with your bloodwork numbers recently, but they WILL come down with time and effort. Please just stick it out. We need you around here!

            Now that I've gotten that off my chest - I'm having a really rough day. I'm up one pound to 187 and I have good reason to believe that I may be pregnant. My hubby is on his way to pick up some tests, so we will know for sure, but I'm a wreck. We've been trying to concieve for 3 years now with no luck, but I've finally gotten to the point where I'm doing this for me and babies can come later. So we stopped trying, and the plan was to wait until I hit goal before we started trying again. I'm on an emotional roller coaster right now, and I've been crying all morning. I know it's a bit early to be freaking out, I just cant help it. I don't know how to feel or what to think. I'll be sure and update you all as soon as we know something for sure, I just HAD to get this off my chest.

              Wow!! Sheesh, I don't know what to say!! Three years of trying to conceive is very long time!! The one thing that kept running through my mind as I read your post was, Life Happens. I mean, for me, it happens when I think I've got it all figured out and I feel totally content. Then it's a terminal diagnosis for someone I love, a traumatic injury for me, Mom, or my sister. Yeah, a new life sounds like a wonderful surprise. I know we always think we have it all figured out on our own time line but life doesn't allow for that kind of thinking. No matter what, it's going to be okay!! No matter what! So, I'll sit here and pray for you and you come back and let us know, okay?

                Mrs. D, I have no quit in me, it's not an option. You guys aren't getting rid of me. I just have a little self destructive streak I need to conquer.

                Please do keep us updated. I'll keep my fingers crossed. You have all the support you could ask for right here, even if it isn't Atkins related.

                  Thanks for the Congrats Ev. I am down another 1.6 this morning so that makes it 2.6 since Friday - I am so happy the pounds have started to drop off again.

                  TJ - keep at it, you will do it and will be back in Onederland before you know it x

                  Mrs D - Wow! Good luck - I look forward to the update.

                    Happy Sunday STAC'ers,

                    I too signed up for the 6WEC. I really need it if simply for the core strength to help my back. But also I am doing induction again for a week or so just to tighten up any sloppy eating I may have been doing. I know that I have been over doing my veggi carbs a little and not eating enough FAT (not eating enough period).

                    I just made a fresh ham and cheese quiche with chillis. My daughter is making chicken suiza enchiladas for dinner (inviting her boy friend for the first time) so I will make a pan for me with out tortillas. I will take some quiche with me for lunch at training today. I will also make a ensalada to go with it.

                    Yesterday I kicked my butt doing house work (moved the living room furniture looking for a lost remote) and then I tried to go grocery shopping. I was so sore that I literally had to sit down many times inside the store. I returned home and it was already 9 pm. I did take pain killers last night and still woke up at 3 am in pain. I can't wait till I can put the whole back surgery behind me.

                    Good job Zarabelle!

                    TJ I am with you.

                    I hope you get wonderful news MrsDavis.

                    New I am glad you are doing well. It is motivating for all of us.

                    Ever don't work to hard you will have to post picks when the fruit of your labor is in full bloom- please.

                    Have a good day all.

                    Julie

                        Hi Everyone,

                        Had a great trip to see in-laws... even stayed on plan (it wasn't easy!) and didn't gain a single pound!!

                        But... no sooner had we returned... I fell off plan and I've been splurging on crap food most of the weekend To think = I could have eaten my Mom-in-law's yummy food, but then ate McDonalds instead. How stupid!!

                        I'm looking forward to heading back to work tomorrow because I find it so easy to stay on plan during the work day... we have this great salad bar where I get my lunch... and because I have lots of work to do I won't have time to munch!

                        So... back on day 1 induction tomorrow for about a week, then I'll move back into my OWL foods.

                        And, sadly, I have to start my cheat-free count back to 1... after tomorrow

                          Hi all!!! It seems to have been a hard week for everyone. Mine has too, but I have managed to stick on plan, and lose 2 more pounds. It has been a stressful week, I think that my Dad had a mini stroke. Mom has started feeding him his meals cause he can't lift his right arm. My DH is sitting with him tonight. Thank the Lord for him taking some of the load off of me and my brother.

                          TJ, I know you can get back on plan, your strength and determination in this is so admirable. We all make mistakes, but you can do this. Good luck!

                          Everyone else, just get back to the wonderful way that you have been doing.
