Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

[mrs.davis1021]

Morning all! I woke up bright and early feeling great and I'm down 2 more pounds to 182! Woo Hoo! 170's here I come!

That makes me feel a bit better about the giant zit I have right between my eyes!

I'm off to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Good morning, following through on all my morning commitments. I don't know about you but I am a creature of habit and if I get it all done right in the morning, then the rest of the day tends to follow suit. So, I make sure the Biggest ROCKS of my day get in the jar first, then there will always be room for gravel, sand and water! Have a good one.

Wow Mrs. Davis. You're doing great. THanks to all the people who are making great progress for posting. It's very inspirational.

I'm comfortably in a pair of size 12s this morning. Which is great and who cares what the scales say??????? Right?????????

I know it's the hour on the treadmill. Ramping it from a half hour to an hour has made a difference in a lot of ways. I'm sleeping so much better for one! Wow. I lay down and I'm out. I love that.

Also, today is Day Three of the minimeals. Days One and Two had a couple of little glitches, such as yesterday I was at the Post Office doing my passport application at 10. I ate some pork rinds and sugar free candy from the store next door. (WHAT?!?!?!?! THat just sounds disgusting.)

And I'm really paying attention to the veggies. I had a cup of pumpkin at night for the past two nights. Also, more salad and a veggie in the afternoon.

AND did I tell y'all that I booked a cruise in Alaska for next month???? Woo hoo. I am so excited about that!!! I'm going with my folks and really looking forward to it. (My favorite part is that it's a "jeans and sweatshirt" cruise instead of a "bikini" cruise.)

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Good morning, all! Holding at 186! Could be my new scale home for awhile and I'm okay with that. It's NICE, so nice to be somewhere in the process where you know you look really good and it's not so bad to hang out there for awhile if required. Gotta get the breakfast going and get to work!

Kelly, I'm jealous of the cruise, mentioned it at the end of roll call yesterday. I want to go with you!

Congrats on the drop, Mrs. Davis. Great job!!

Jess, I know what you mean about the rocks. Unfortunately, with all the idiots I deal with at work, I have to wear 2 big rocks all day, just to keep them in check. Sometimes it's nice having the job in the building that requires me to be a b*tch and not care what any of them think of me!

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Hey everyone - congrats on the drop Mrs. D - it's nice to see the scale go in THAT direction!

Jess - I hear you about the morning. My day tends to get away from me with crises/distractions, so working out before work is hard, but so rewarding when my day ends at 9pm sometimes...

Kelly - i was thinking the same thing this morning about the exercise. Since I've been religiously working out every morning, as soon as 10pm hits, TV goes off and I'm asleep in about 5 minutes. Before this, my wife and I used to set the sleep timer for 3 hours and still be up at 1am....

EverL - congrats on the hold. Sounds like it might be the waiting part of a wait-and-whoosh....so good luck on the next weigh!

Have a great day all....

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Sorry y'all. I don't always catch the end of the roll call threads. Sometimes it's like reading yesterday's newspaper. (That cliche is not going to make sense in a few years when there are no newspapers...)

Anyway, I'm going to Alaska with my folks. My husband decided he couldn't take off work to go. Oh well, his loss, especially since a fellow teacher loaned me a smokin hot cocktail dress to wear on formal night.

I have an oceanview cabin ALL TO MYSELF!!! Anyone jealous??? I'm so thrilled. I'll get tons of ME time. I can't wait. And my parents are just great so if I tell them I want to be left alone, they won't get their feelings hurt.

Plenty of time to work out and watch the glaciers roll by.

Oh and Slapshot, you are a big deal, Mr Supreme Court Guy!! Aren't you glad you're getting a good night's sleep?

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Hi all,

I haven't been posting regularly, but am still on plan. I have lost 23.5 pounds since December!!! The weight is coming off slowly, but it is still coming off. It seems that it is taking me a little over a month to lose five pounds, so for those of you who aren't losing quickly--don't be discouraged! This works, stick with it!!!

Hope you all have a great day!

Judy

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Yes, Kelly, it's certainly great to get 7 good hours of sleep in a night, and restful sleep. It's amazing how those 7 hours is perfect enough time to feel energized in the Am and to wake up and get a workout in...

Enjoy that cruise. ME time is great...at anytime!

Good morning everyone. Thursday is my Friday so I am getting ready for the weekend. I am going to be planting the veggie garden with my kids.

Happy Thursday STAC'ers

The rain was short lived yesterday only. Today the sun is up again. I had a bad headache all day yesterday and it seems like I may have the same headache again today. I think it is hormonal although it could be allergy related. The pollen acount is high. I started getting some allergy's last spring and I think they are back. Dr says to take some zyrtec. I guess I will.

My dr was super impressed with my weight loss yesterday. 23# in about 3 months (since my last visit). I am going to see her again in the fall and re-check it then.


MrsDavis congrats on even more weight I am officially jelous

Kelly congrats on the size 12's, and I think you will enjoy your cruise.

Judy- I am also loosing slow. I am okay with this. This WOL is about the journey and that was something that I missed in all of my previous attempts. I am not hung up on the daily loss any more but more so the weekly discovery (what did I learn and accomplish about myself this week).

Have a great day STAC'ers.

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Good morning all. Just got to my computer so the day is already running away! Julie, I like your comment about the WOL being the about the journey. That is so true. The ability to throw some comments out and read about all of your journeys is truly wonderful. Eva

Re: Roll Call 5/7/09 Thursday!

Hi, everyone! I haven't been on here in a few days so I thought while I had the time I would check in. My Dad is in the hospital with pneumonia and I am staying there with him. I took a few things I could eat with me, so I managed to keep my carbs low. Maybe too low. I have a feeling there will not be a lot of time for me in the next few days. Even though things are very stressful, I have enough faith in my WOE that I know I can stay on plan. Food will be better planned tomorrow!

Congrats to everyone on their losses, and be proud!!

Hey, Sweetie!! Glad you're hanging in there! You've got a ton of pressure on you right now and we all know how friendly vending machines are to this WOE! Do your very best and know this...sometimes when life clobbers us, it's a noteworthy accomplishment just to maintain what we've already lost! Remember that when you feel down! Do you have a mini fridge there? A microwave? Tell me what you have to work with and I'll offer my best suggestions. Contact me if you want to or if you need to vent! Been there, I know it's tough.
