Hey you! Sounds like your personal trainer is well worth the cash.

I'm doing a little work, then leaving early today. Skipped my workout yesterday because I walked for 3 hours at work, and figured that was enough. It's a sunny, beautiful Friday over here, gonna be a great day.

Happy Friday STAC'ers

I have a little work *work* that I have to do today but I am playing hooky for the most part. I have a small headache and I think I am a little dehydrated. I did not feel like drinking my water yesterday afternoon, the wind was blowing during my afternoon hike and I was cold. I swear it was blowing about 30 mph marine air, finger and ears frozen. I actually still have an ear ache.

Today I will work on my water intake, clean up my house, and maybe have people over for dinner (have to talk to hubby about it).

Becki is that a precription water bill or over the counter? Just currious. My neighbor has one in her blood pressure pill and complain of being dehydrated all the time.

Have a fun weekend and be safe.

Julie

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

I've been on atkins off and on for 6 years and have drank more times than I can remember since starting and neither me or my husband have stalled. We're the "one or two cocktails after a hard day at work" type and I can tell you, as long as you drink a lot of water during the day, it probably wont hurt. I've drank one or two cocktails every night since Monday and I've lost 3.4 lbs...my husband has lost 5. I just make sure it's clear liquor and diet sodas.

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

So glad it's Friday and the weekend is here! Where is everyone at!!

Everything is good my way, still going strong on extended induction!

Becki~ Yummy! BBQ sounds delicious, wish I could have one, have fun!! I hope you can get that water pill thing worked out soon, I know it must be frustrating.

John~I'm jealous, it's dreary and cloudy here, this is abnormal weather for us right now, the sun needs to peak through the clouds really soon!

Alaska~I hope your ear feels better soon!

wmiller~WTG on the 3#! Ive never drank while doing Atkins so I can't help with that question any.

Have a nice day all!

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

Everyone have a great day! I'm working in the garden this afternoon (well as soon as I get off the computer

) BarBQing sounds good, I have some salmon I need to cook. I didn't drink at all during induction the first time and have only had a glass of wine this time. I think that I need to measure how much I have. The glasses are bigger than the 3 oz listing in my carb. book. I think I'm saving my wine for a treat after I get back into OWL. Induction is working really well for me right now. Eva

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

Hey all! Am jealous of your long weekends. (no such thing in SoKo...)
Just had friends over after work and managed to stay on plan. Again, ate a bit more than I'd planned, but no cheats.

Stayin' strong!

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

Way to go staying on plan! I think socializing is kind of hard because I have to really think about what I am eating. Truly it seems like it should be easier because there are things that I just shouldn't eat. Did your cravings from yesterday subside Focused?

Re: Roll Call 5/22/09 Friday

Afternoon!!

I tried logging in earlier this morning and had problems - maybe that's why so few people were here before you Becki... they had problems, too. Maybe...

Things are good here with me, but no weight change. That's what happens when you start to get to the higher numbers-lost like me... things slow down. POUT!! I have to stay the course and have confidence that I really am losing (even if the scale doesn't show it right away).

BBQs sound good. We had our long weekend here in Canada last weekend...

My weekend consists of painting my kitchen, planting some flowers in pots for my front deck, writing a couple post for my decor/reno blog... fun stuff!! And it looks like the weather will be gorgeous!!

Back to work with me...

You're lucky the weather is so nice! Here in Florida this weekends weather is supposed to be the pits. I guess it's going to be lots of cleaning for me, being stuck in the house and all. Your're also lucky because you got a long weekend! I don't get those being a bookeeper at my job! Ugh, so jealous.

YES!!!

That's actually one of the positives that I've been noticing with this eating plan. There were tons of off-limits goodies around this evening, but I was able to just stick to my celery and hard boiled eggs. Believe it or not, I've gotten to the point where all the high sugar/high carb stuff doesn't even appeal to me right now. I can appreciate the delicious smell of a bakery, but don't actually have any desire to eat the food, if you can believe it. I feel calmer and more "focused" and that alone is worth the extra effort, prep, and initial stages of "denial" and retraining.

It's still one day at a time, but for today, this is amazing!
