April 22 Roll Call Wednesday

Re: April 22 Roll Call Wednesday

Good afternoon all!

Doing pretty good these days but finding that as I eat "healthy" induction-legal foods over the "unhealthy" legal foods I am not getting many calories. I can't have too much cheese because I'm lactose intollerant. So, in order to bring up my daily 788 calories to a more reasonable amount I'm eating every piece of meat I can get my hands on.

Any suggestions? I typically max out my carbs without using net carbs pretty easily. I do a lot of chicken, some eggs, some fish, and veggies. I could definitely use some help as most days I seem to be hitting around 1000 calories, even when snacking on grilled beef sticks, boiled eggs, etc. I'm not hungry though, which is a nice change.

Not that I really have much to complain about, I've already lost 6 pounds and the pee-stick-thingy is nice and purple..I just don't want my body jumping into starvation mode.

Use olive oil and butter liberally. They add fat without adding much volume. Ground flax seed will also add healthy oils and fiber to what you are eating. You can "hide" a tablespoon of ground flax in almost anything. I add flax seed to my scrambled eggs and cook them in butter. Hope this helps,

T. J.

I have not been checking in but I am still plugging away at it! I stalled last week after adding in berries and going a little nuts but I am back down again today so I think all is under control!

Checking in. Was running a little late this morning so I saved my genius post for tonight!!

Everything is going good! I'm great and on plan with food, working out and water. The pounds aren't fighting to leave me right now but compliments are coming left and right from people around me and I'm totally cool with that! I've noticed a pattern that when I get an unusual amount of compliments from people I drop a few pounds within a week or week and a half after that. I think my body actually looks smaller BEFORE the number dwindles on the scale. Just the way it works. Strange.

My son has strep throat and that's been fun. He's been on antibiotics for a couple days and tomorrow he's having 2 major dental extractions to prepare for braces. For once, I'm so happy he's going to my ex husband's for the weekend!! HAHA, welcome to the realities of being a real parent. They'll have such a wonderful time together, hehe.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Re: April 22 Roll Call Wednesday

It's okay. Still using nicotine replacements. In December, I bought LOTS of nicotine patches in anticipation of being a quitter. Oh look!!! I'm a quitter and a loser!! My family will be so proud! Actually, they don't notice much. I'm still a hermit these days. It's frustrating sometimes. I feel like a crack head or something! I crave it the most when I leave work to go to lunch or when I leave work for the day. That's really tough. I got up the other morning craving that first cigarette SO BADLY!! I started searching for my smokes and my lighter and then felt the patch on my arm. I forgot that I quit!! Hopefully, that was just sleepy stupid!! I was hardly amused though and felt crushed inside when I realized there would be no pick me up to wake me up!! Addict!!

Ok, I am here, well I have been online most of the day and was stuck
in the Arcade, it would not let me out, kept saying system error when I
tried to leave...... ummmm anyone buying that ? : )

I am at work and can't really workout to much, I check a door every 2 hours
takes 3 min to do so I only "work" 12 min a day as I do it 4 times a day.

Well someone has to do it I think I am the owner of the easiest job
in the world. Some where in the contract the DOD wants that door checked
every 2 hours and now thats my job.

God Bless Security Clearances

Re: April 22 Roll Call Wednesday

Wow, Ever. I'm just watching your stats go on down. That's fantastic. My weight loss seems to be going slow, but I guess it's actually not. I'm just wanting to hurry it up. I know it's better if I lose slow, but sometimes I get scared that it will stop. My mentality!!

TJ, you will do just fine! My grandson is 16, and he has wanted to be a Marine ever since he was a little boy. I know he is planning on joining when he turns 18. It scares me, but he has to follow his heart.

Everyone else, Keep that mind set going, we are all gonna be the BIGGEST LOSERS!!
