Wednesday 7/29 Roll Call

[OzLover]

I'm officially out of work for awhile due to a neck/shoulder injury. I'm taking this time to concentrate on taking care of myself & get back into the Atkins groove. I've been slipping & sliding since my trip to Cape Cod in April. Exercise & eating well is the priority!

Have a wonderful day STACer's. Don't forget to drink plenty of H20 today.

218.4 this morning, new low for me. I can see 215 right around the corner.

Another good note I went and bought new smaller work pants last night. My finance saw me in my size 38 dockers that I normally wear, and she said they look rediculous they were so big, so we went and bought some 36 size pants!!

I took all of you back in time and it's now Wednesday again.

gxi, congrats for the new lowest weight! Anything planned for when you hit 215? Any non-food reward?

Mrs_S, the tea should be legal, although it's not ideal that is caffeinated. For some people caffeine causes stalls and/or it messes up blood sugar. If you decide to have it, watch your weight closely (yes, I'm sure you never step on the scale! ) and take the Blood Sugar Stress test in DANDR. Personally I'd look for a decaf tea. You can also make your own tea from cinnamon. It's so yummy! This is a recipe from Megs: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...lly-sweet.html

focus, check your vitamins and minerals in FitDay. How's your magnesium? Cravings for chocolate could be a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Or TOM... Grrr.

Carmen, did you see this thread?

So what will you guys be doing to celebrate the International Atkins Diet Day (August 1st)? Will any of you donate some of your exercise minutes to the ATKINSNATION Challenge (see my siggy)?
