  • Roll Call May 24

    Good morning STACers.
    A great sunday ahead. Been reading and studying different eating plans and diets out there. I'm involved in a 3 month weightloss and exercise program for my education as a Fitness Trainer. It has been an eye opening process of workouts, foods, and fueling. I'm 10days into the whole deal.
    Everything I learned here, I take with me on this journey into the health club world.
    Focus,
    Plans and Execution
    Monitoring the ups and downs and returning to focus.

    Everything I learned over the last 3 years is still all true for me. When I started Atkins I had no confidence I and I had let myself down terribly.
    Weight loss, sticking to plans and promises restored my trust.
    Then I let carbs back into fuel triathlons and lost complete control.
    Which in turn brought back the negative. Loss of self trust and confidence and pain.
    Making hard decisions to change all over again was tough, but now I am in a zone of reestablishing much, focus, plans, execution, and return to focus.
    It feels so good to be dialed in.

    I hope you stay dialed in and if you don't I hope you learn what works and what doesn't and what you need to stay clear of. Learn your lessons and go!

            I agree, Jess. Great post. Thanks for sharing that!

            Did church, then watched my son's swim class, then my wife and I worked out at the Y while he played in the child care. Now it's clean the house time, then we're going to a minor league hockey playoff game here. Tomorrow's back to the grind as I gear up for a trial starting on Tuesday...fun fun!

              Hey everyone...quick check in before I had to the pool for a workout. Interesting weekend for me. I went out and ate some nachos friday at around 7pm...1am they were still sitting in my stomach and I felt like crap. Nice...haven't felt that way in a while!

              Yesterday I had a bbq with friends...2 of which are also do this WOE...so I had the food police all over me. LOL...it was pretty funny.

              Yesterday before the bbq I had a workout with my trainer...and today I'm sore as ****! EXCELLENT!

              Bacon and eggs for breakfast/lunch (got up late) and another bbq tonight with the same friends. Not sure what's on for tomorrow...hopefully a day of rest? LOL

              ~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.

                Good afternoon everyone!!! I'm doing homework, yuch. Why did I ever decided I needed my doctorate? Sigh.

                I hope everyone is doing well!

                  Hey everybody -- this is probably my 100th time around, but nevertheless, here I am! My biggest problem is getting past the first 3 days because of the sluggishness. Other than that, I love everything else about this WOE! I got started yesterday, so I'm hoping that by the end of the holiday weekend, I'll be past the low-energy phase, and ready to start my work week on Tuesday with new-found energy!
