    Re: Roll Call 5/1/09 IT'S FRIDAY!!!

    i usually do my cardio in the morning and my strength in the afternoon. i do it in the morning cause i want to get it out of the way, and i do my other stuff in the afternoon cause after an hour of cardio i dont want to do anything else without flopping on the couch and resting for a couple hours lol

      Morning all!

      Kelly, I was in FL at the end of lovebug season once...I feel ya!

      SlapShot...I love getting workouts done early in the morning to "get them out of the way"...I just don't love getting up early in the morning. It's a constant struggle...

      Welcome to the board Angel!

      Ok...my official friday weigh in has me at 272...that's down 1.4 from last week. My ankles are a little puffy today...could it POSSIBLY be that I'm already heading into my monthly cycle 2 week span of weight nightmare? Crimony! Where does the time go??? I could SWEAR I just finished this. At least I know it's not bad food choices...that much I'm sure. So I'll just roll with the punches.

      Oh...and that puts me at a net loss of precisely TWENTY POUNDS down since I started plan! 22 from my highest recorded weight . Man it's going slow this time...but it feels so right that I'm not complaining...too much.

      With the weekend coming up...and an impending vacation...I have some fridge cleaning to do...and by cleaning, I mean eating what I have before I leave. I have a container of alfredo sauce and a container of pizza sauce and a bunch of shredded cheese that probably needs to be consumed before thursday. Crap! LMAO...what can I freeze? I'm not going to grocery shop between now and when I get back...force myself to eat what I have on hand (which is plenty!)...and save some money for the slot machines! Yes...I have produce. I will make grocery shop rule exceptions should I need more produce.

      I am meeting with a personal trainer tonight...one of those "free" deals you get when you sign up with a mega gym. If I like her, I'll buy some training from her...but she's gotta really show that she understands what I'm looking for...which is a custom program that really takes into account my personal limitations. I've always wanted a "Jillian Michaels" type trainer who would push me...but push me on things I'm actually capable of doing...jogging on the treadmill aint gonna happen. (Yet...I still have high hopes that I will "someday") I'm looking forward to it but hoping it's not "cheap" since it's one of the "free" sessions.

      Food today is a quickie scramble for breakfast (my new tip...use a Pampered Chef prep bowl (which is a nice size ramekin with a lid), one egg scrambled with a smidge of cream, a pinch of sausage (I keep some in my freezer) and a pinch of cheese. Take it to work, give it a shake, pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds (be careful cuz the egg puffs up big time) and viola! Fresh scramble! Lunch is the end of my leftover taco salad, snacks are STILL celery and cream cheese cuz I haven't eaten much of them the last two days...and dinner...clearly will be something pizza sauce or alfredo related. LOL...maybe chicken with broccoli and alfredo sauce? We'll see. Hmmm...I COULD do a white sauce chicken pizza with garlic and green onions. OMG...I think I just drooled on the keyboard. I have leftover frozen cauliflower crusts!!!!!


      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.

        Julie - congrats on the hooky...I've played hooky all month, sort of (I took a month off between jobs, start again Monday!).

        Kelly - I recorded the one about the hot peppers, too. Want to see that one since I love hot stuff (except that time I touched my eye after cutting habaneros when I worked in a restaurant in high school....)

        Kibs - I used the feel the same way about cardio in the AM (lounging afterwards). But, lately, I've been very energized even after a 45 min workout. Must be the endorphins/adrenaline. Hey, I ain't complaining!

        Rajenki - good luck with the trainer. Trainers can be either hit or miss. Tough to find a good one. Let us know how it turns out...

          Morning everyone,

          Not a great week of work (I'm really starting to hate my day-job!) so I'm looking forward to the end of today and the weekend! Next Friday I have flex day so that means a short work-week to look forward to. Small blessings!

          My life savers from day-job misery? My hubby (I really like him )... the interior remodeling/decor business (i.e., dream job!) I'm trying to start... and my design class (love it!).

          The good thing is that all the stress, angst and disatisfaction I'm feeling because of my job isn't affecting plan. I'm doing well!! Okay... I'm not doing well with my water intake (always a struggle), but food intake has been perfect.

          Slapstick = Go Canucks!!
          Actually... I'm impressed, and a little envious, at your ability to get up early and work out!

          You too, Kib... and Julie!
          And it's great that you get to play hookey today, Julie... I think you can tell that I'd love to do the exact same thing about now!!

          I'm with Kelly... I wish it was easy to get addicted to exercise!

          Becki - I had an alfredo, chicken cauliflower pizza with broccoli, red pepers and mushrooms once and it was soooo tasty! Enjoy!! Also... since we're talking about exercise... hope the Personal Trainer you're meeting with today will be a fit. Sometimes working with a pro like that can make all the difference!

          I think I'm going to have to make myself a cauliflower pizza this weekend

          In the mean time, I have to get some stupid work done.

            Hey everybody. I've been absent and was dragged out of busyness by a good friend, I will do my best to be around. Why would I do that? Because this site changed my life, my daily postings and consistent efforts not only brought about a great deal of weight loss, but friends and a sustainable lifestyle. I cannot imagine ever being too far away, and apologize for being so for a while. Life is crazy busy, I am working as a Personal Trainer, and am constantly studying for my certification. I am working out at 5 or 6 every day with clients and or friends. Fitness has been my way of life for almost 3 yrs.
            Atkins and following this program gave me that life.
            I am glad to see new friends and old ones.

                Hi Jess...nice to see you...

                I totally forgot about posting here.. I have been stressed..I have had 2 sick kids all week with weird things going on.. Well hubby took my son to the doctor and he has a potential serious disease and it could go two or 3 different ways and we won't know until we take him to another doctor next week.. Could you Please pray that he has the less serious one..

                He just announced to me that he is going to be a dad too...now that is scary..he is 19

                  Good evening everyone!!

                  There's so much to comment on and so little time to do it

                  Sandy - you and your family are in my prayers. Please keep us posted - I'm sure I can speak for everyone by saying .. we're all here for you

                  Jess - so nice to see your peeking back in - you are such an inspiration for many of us!!

                  Gratz to all the losers!

                  Ev - how's your foot doing? Any word from TJ?

                  A quick note on morning exercising .. I try to get in 30 mins each morning - either walking, pilates or sculpting DVD. Then I try to sneak in 30 more mins at work or home...I think if I only exercised at night.. I would never do it! However, I am checking out a new Gym tomorrow.. so that may have to change!

                  Julie - I wanted to play hookie last week in the worst way! I had a huge case of spring fever

                  Hoping to see a little loss tomorrow - been struggling since Monday to see anything less than 197.4 - that's after seeing 196 on Monday *sigh*

                  Off to get some chores done.. hope you all have a great night
