STAC Rollcall ~ Monday 12/7/2009

[barrnone]

Morning all snowy day in Wisconsin. Did very well yesterday and plan another perfect day today. Just need to watch so I don't overeat. Have a tendency to do that on Mondays. But, now I'm aware - I can plan!

Have a great day, all!

Good morning! I'm here and on plan. The buffet at the dinner theatre last night was aweful. Everything (and I mean everything including the lettuce) was in some kind of suspicious sauce. I picked a few things out and heres how it went, the lettuce tasted like it was in a mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar sauce, the cucumbers tasted sweet, the roast beef tasted like it had been injected wtih sugar, the brocolli may have been safe but after tasting everything else I'm not convinced, the grilled chicken had a carmelized glaze. So I took a bite here and there just enough to ward off the feeling of starvation and let the rest of the plate sit. I know though just those few bites probably put me over my carb limit for the day and the scale was back up to 212 this morning. But the show was good and the company even better.

So I've come to the conclusion, that if this is going to be a permanent WOL, I just have to always do the best I can do, under whatever the circumstances are and be happy that I wasn't stuffing my plate and my face full of mashed potatoes, pasta or any of the wonderful looking desert items that I walked right past without looking back. Always doing the best I can and moving forward without regret is the only way this is going to work for me long term. If I punish myself for trying and failing, I'll fall and fall hard.

Have a great day all!

Good morning everyone !! It's a beautiful sunny morning here, Everything covered in the first serious snow of the year. It always looks so fresh and beautiful (I'll have to change my avatar)

I'm on track, and according to the scale, lost 1 pound this week. At least it's slowly moving downward.

Barrnone, Stay warm and safe with your storms. Good job recognizing Mondays as your "trigger" day. Interesting, I wonder why Monday (stress with work?).

And Barb, How Frustrating !!! I'm glad you enjoyed the show, but the food! Knowing me, I probably would have wiped the glaze off the chicken, or thinly sliced the top layer off. But Bravo for not giving in and sticking with it.

I'm off to go break the ice on water troughs ...

Hello!! Here and almost blew it! I was drinking a diet orange crush that I bought on my way through Wal Mart this morning, was sitting there reading the label and suddenly I saw 4 carbs per serving! 2.5 servings per bottle, needless to say after a couple drinks I threw it in the garbage! High fructose corn syrup in a diet drink, go figure?

barb - what did you see at the theater? I love going to shows. I'm going to see Grease [with Taylor Hicks] on Wednesday. This show wasn't my choice, got asked along, but it should be fun.

I also agree that you just have to make the best of the situation. Just move on.

Kntry - it's awful pretty here too, but I'm sure much prettier in the mountains. Still snowing, we have a couple of inches already.

Mondays are bad because I'm home most of the day. I work 1/2 day, then home to get my work done. My hub is at work, and I think I just feel like I can eat a little more freely. Not sure why, but really going to watch it today, journal it and make sure I keep it on track

Yikes Earl I agree, who would of thought? Good job of not letting it sabotage you

I must admit the snow is beautiful, and I have the advantage of being on the flat with mountains surrounding me. So I get to look at the sage brush piled high with snow in one direction, and the mountains covered in the other

BUT, we don't get the snow that you do Barrnone. (thank goodness ) My mom lived outside of Duluth for a couple of years, and I can still remember the ice burgs on the lake in May and June, and 6 feet of snow piled high.... BRRRR.........

If I can figure out how to "shrink" a picture to avatar size without loosing clarity, I'll post one as an avatar.

And Barb, I'm curious about the show too ! That's one of the things I miss living where I do. The little school plays just don't cut it for me

Hi all! Beautiful and snowy here in Colorado!! Love it!
Barb - good job on the buffet! I so often find these days that buffets are filling up with processed junk. I have an upcoming Christmas party at the office. And EVERY year they have some italian place deliver lasagna with bread and salad. And then I get the EYE when I only opt for the salad. Ugh.
Looking forward to a great week. I weigh-in tomorrow and am hopeful for some good results. I had a couple cheats this past weekend, though, so may not see anything.

The snow, what a beautiful thing. I know it can get terribly cold, but being from LA, we get snow capped mountains and that's about it....

It's raining here today and a little on the cold side, I love it. On plan today. I feel dehydrated, I may have had a little too much salt yesterday. Need to keep an eye on that especially when I'm not into salt all that much.

Work is going through some major transitions and along those transitions, I may be moved to another area of the police department. I'm grateful to have a job, so I'm not complaining here.....I know it'll all work itself out.

Wishing everyone a lovely Monday.....

Hey all, checking in after a long absence, been on plan for 3 weeks now(even through thanksgiving), and I'm feeling good. Thought it would be hard since I lost my job last week and I tend to overeat when I'm upset but I've been taking out my stress on the weights in the gym.

My wife isn't on it with me this time around, though she will come around eventually. She hugged me this morning and said she could actually get her arms around me. Though I'm a bit irritated with her, with all the no-no foods we have in the house for her and my son, she chose to eat my pre-cooked chicken, and use the last of my salad dressing instead of the ranch she usually eats. So I guess its shopping today after the gym.

Sorry for the rant, have a good day everyone.

Hello... it's actually raining in Las Vegas! I don't think I've seen rain since... um... June, maybe? It's snowing in the mountains and I can see them from my window... they're beautiful!

Today is my first weigh-in and measuring day, and I lost 3 lbs and 1" on my waist and 1/2" on my hips during the first week of Induction!

I'm generally on plan, just fiddling with my fat/protein/carb ratio - haven't figured out how to get it the way I want it consistently yet.

Re: STAC Rollcall ~ Monday 12/7/2009

I just started again today, not sure if I'm suppose to post here, but had a great day. Stayed on induction plan. Exercised about an hour tonight. Felt good. Very cold here in Texas. Anyway it's late now, so see you all tomorrow.
