Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Good morning! Thanks for all the warm welcomes.
I need to get moving because I am taking my boys fishing today. It will be an adventure. Meanwhile there is the laundry, the house, the gardens, etc.... There is always something.

Trying to plan lunches to pack and need to figure out dinner too.

The sun is out though! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

hello everyone. i thought i'd just check in. hope everyone is doing ok. well just about have the first week of induction in the bag, things have went very well so far. before i decided to restart my diet, i had been having alot of pain with my feet, back and legs. well in just the first week, i've noticed a huge difference in the amount of pain i'm having. it seemed with each day it has lessened. it's almost as if the all the bad carbs and sugar were the culprit of all the aches i was having. i'm so excited for monday to weigh in and see if there's been any weight loss. however i'm not sure i want to know though until week 2 is over, so i may close my eyes and have my DH look at the scale for me. i have always liked to chart my progress weekly so i can see how things went each week. i seem to be obsessing a lil bit about the scale as every morning i look at it thinking i want to jump on it, but so far have resisted the temptation.

i haven't really posted a separate response to each one of you yet, so i thought i'd take some time and catch up with the whole group, i'll start from the last time i posted so i can get to everyone ...so glad that our little group seems to be growing and that's wonderful to see.

Sassy- glad your visit with you mom went well. i hope your aunt is ok after her surgery. congrats on the promotion, but try not to work too hard. make sure you prepare some eats for those busy work days as not to have any excuses to go off plan.

Focus-wtg on the 1 month anniversary. that's a great milestone! the exercise will come, walking is a great start though. hope you have a good weekend and can get some rest.

Cara- hope you had a great day at the flea market, and congrats on gettin that iPod back from hubby. hope everything diet wise is going great for you.

Norah-hope everything is going well for you. sorry to hear your having trouble with water heater....that can be such a pain.

Whatsername-welcome, it's great to have you, sounds like you have a busy family life, but don't forget to take the time for yourself. hope you had a great time today fishing with the kids and hope you didn't let the big one get away! It could be a great source of protein for dinner one day this week!! LOL

wellkept-wtg on getting to day 7!!!! i hope you had a great day 8 as well.

sham- WOW!!!! 3 hrs shopping!!!! sounds like fun. i know what ya mean about inquisitve people asking about the diet, it's bad enough sometimes having to try to explain it to family, but when friends and co-workers start getting too personal it can be kind of a pain. especially when they think they know something about it, but all they know are the negative untruths that the media trys to spread. although the compliments are a nice boost.

laura-great to have you join our little group. i look forward to getting to know you.

well, i better go for now, it's getting late, but seeing as i'm a bit of a night owl, i plan on spending some time figuring out some meals next week and maybe cutting up some veggies so i don't have to do it as i go during the week. trying to be as prepared as i can.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Morning Buddies!

Fishing was so-so. The actual fishing part didn't go well but we still had a good time..got out of the house together, etc.

I am tired today and need to catch up on cleaning and laundry.

Hope everyone has a great day and do something nice for yourselves.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hey Laura!

What is the recipe you are working with? I haven't tried making salad dressings yet (if that is what it is).

I need to get off my computer and do something at some point.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi Laura and welcome!

Hey, Jane, when you're cleaning and do laundry, just tell yourself, "I am a Domestic Goddess!" It won't make the housework go away but you'll feel so superior doing it!

Oh, Monie, isn't the reduced pain a great "side effect"of Atkins?! Glad you're feeling better, hon.

SHAM! The amazing, incredible Disappearing Woman! I am SO happy for you!

And a big ol' GROUP HUG to Sassy, Focus, and WK and all of our Buddies .... enjoy the rest of the weekend, y'all!

It is SO HOT and humid here in FL ... took a walk in the park this morning and nearly had to be wrung out afterwards ... but the summer fruits are nice and ripe and that's where I'm getting my carbs from these days .... watermelon, cherries, peaches .... can't resist 'em; better than candy! Probably should cut back but they're not around long, so I enjoy 'em while they're in season. I'll watch the scales; the numbers creep up, the fruits get cut back.

Oh, the water heater got fixed. We had a lightning strike that blew out one of the elements, but it wasn't expensive to have it repaired. We take hot water on demand for granted!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Thanks norah it means alot even your message i got on my page means alot you enjoy your day!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Good Morning buddies! Busy day here and lots of running around to do. Did get a lot done around the house yesterday so that feels good. The thing is..with 3 boys, and 2 dogs..staying on top of it is a challenge. Oh, correction..2 SHEDDING dogs!

Laura..I am not sure if creme fraiche is heavy cream? What I do is limit my heavy cream to 3-4 oz, same for cheese (though I personally aim for less cheese because too much tends to stall me). The mayo and oil are fats and not something you need to really limit yourself on (the book says "eat liberally" of fats and protein). Hope that helps a little. I am sure there are people that can explain the exact percentages you should be having.

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!
Jane

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

P.S. Norah..I am glad you got your hot water heater fixed. You are right that we take that for granted! We went through that last year.
All that fresh fruit you have sounds wonderful.
Domestic goddess? Hmm..I like it!
