ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

you are her scapgoat and she uses you as an excuse to be mad which is rediculous.

I couldn't agree more. Im not sure how the ages are with your siblings and you, but it seems like your sister is jealous. Not jealous of you (personally) but the fact that YOU are spending that time with your mother. Maybe your mom has said things to your sister along the way like "well maybe you should do whatever like yoly" and things like that. So maybe she feels like she has to compete with you for your mothers love\attention. Thats how it is in my family. My brother and sister are SO competitive when it comes to my parents. I think that you already put yourself out there to help the situation so the ball is in her court. Its her choice for not trying the help any. And personally, I wouldnt sacrifice myself and my time to be with my family because of your dispute with her. If anything....you should go to the family gatherings and act like yourself. She's the one who should be left out and feel akward, because she didnt do anything to help the situation, YOU DID. Dont let her conversation (or lack of) cause you to be left out during the holidays. There is really nothing else that you can do! (other than go and k|ss her @$$, which is uncalled for)

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I know exactly what its like. BELIEVE ME I have one of the craziest families that there ever was! I'm sorry about not being able to go over and see your mom, because of your sisters son. Maybe you could find a babysitter a few times a week or something. Just so you can go over for a little bit. That's gotta be really rough on you, I cant imagine someone being ill and have to feel like you are restricted from them. Atleast you understand why, so you know that its not because of you or anything. Just take it easy, dont let these things get you down. You need to put it into your mind that you did everything that you could have done. Yeah so you got into an argument and said some things that you shouldnt have, but you tried to fix it with her. What did she do? She brushed it aside like it didnt matter. Dont feel down about it PLEASE. I feel bad for you because I can imagine all the self guilt that you have going on right now. But just try to say to yourself that you did what you could. You cant fix the problem on both ends by youself, the other person has got to be willing to pull there end also.

Please Cheer Up!


I'll watch Abi if you wanna bring her to me

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

Thanks guys I really appreaciate all the stuff that you guys said it made a lot of sense and I appreciate the babysitting offer krystle, thanks.

You know thinking about it I think what happened is that she feels bad about not being able to be there for my mom as much as she would like. She's really a sweet person and always has been in the "protector" roll. Well her week at work was really hectic this week and so she couldn't take as much time off as she would have liked. She couldn't fulfill that role and when I stood up to and jumped in it pissed her off on some level. I did try to fix it, I agree that I shouldn't kiss her ***, the ball is in her court luckily she will get over being mad soon and get into a position where she can actually hear me. I think she is still so mad that I say one thing and she processes it and hears another, oh well. I did go to see my mom this morning and I was able to spend some time over there helping in whatever I could getting my sister settled and everything. Abi should be ok to go over there by Monday so at least it'll only be for the weekend.

Anyway, I better run but thanks guys for all the wonderful tips and for being there for me.

It's so quiet in here on the weekends I have to figure out what I am doing here I think with drop down week I am supposed to have a rest day of sorts today but, I will do weights instead I gotta start doing more of that so That I can mosve some more inches.

My legs are really driving me crazy I am losing all this weight on them and they are sooo cellulited and gross the dinmples are gross the skin is sagging and I feel sooo UGLY I ahve to wear stockings so my *** isn't sagging it's horrible looking at my Body right now but, I know this is somehting it's gunna do to lose and then tighten up at least I sure do hope so. I am concerned about this part of my body and wonder if I will ever be able to wear a bathing suit without Nylons oh, what a sight hey. So last night I massaged them for like 1 hour I have small bruises on the sides of my legs. I have shallow veins always have so I bruise really easily.

Well I'm gunna make myself some green tea and hope I can start peeing out these toxins I have circulating in my body. I think I need to up my water a ton.

Well sorry for the rant but, I knew you all would listen

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

Sounds great Sarah, you need to be drinking a ton with all the amount that you excercise. Hey it facilitates wooshies so your little problem with your leg should be really helped with the water intake.

I just finished Burn it UP, and ladies let me tell ya I burned! My whole body felt like it was on fire, I hurt. A LOT. It is no picnic but I'm climbing back on that horse tomorrow and doing it again. I know i'm gonna be sore, probably super sore, but I needed to really up my excercise to the next level, I think this is one of those pesky "comfort wieght" spots for me and I'm gonna have to do a whole lot of burning before I start seeing significant change. Well I did it today, thank goodness that's over. I dread going up the stairs or lifting my arms over my head, ever again!

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

Ok guys Rikki brings up a good point, Thanksgiving is this week, what is everyone planning to do in order to stay legal during the holiday. Want to share recipes? Give each other advice and support? What are you guys gonna eat, what places or houses will you avoid? Let's get the skinny and develop a game plan to stay Atkins friendly on Turkey day.

I for one have it kind of easy this year. I don't really crave the non Atkins stuff anymore so even if there are potatoes and stuffing in front of me I'll be reaching for the Cauliflower baked potatos and the artichoke hearts. At my mother in law's house we are having turkey and I am taking a couple of sides that I can have. Also I am taking my famous sugar free cheesecake so that I can have something really good when the pies are being shared around. At my mothers house we are planning on cooking a mexican version of stuffing, it is meat based unlike U.S. bread based and surprisingly it is all legal stuff we can have, yeay! It's also deeelicious. I am planning on splurging a bit at my mom's and am gonna have wine glasses full of berries with Heavy whipping cream topping and splenda, all kinds of berries too, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. It's gonna be pricey but totally worth it. Let's see I found a recipe for a chocolate cheesecake with an almond based crust that got a review score of 10 here on the menu section so I'm gonna try making that too.

So what are you guys planning on doing?

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

Wow, sound like you have a busy day Sarah, be sure to squeeze in some time for R&R.

I just took my supplements and am drinking my green tea right now. I already did my workout this morning and have drunk about 40 oz. of water or so. I feel pretty snazzy, especially after a breakfast of bacon and eggs, yummy! I am hungry again though, that's how I know that I'm shrinking, I"m starving, especially after working out.

Ok I've decided to weigh myself here in a couple of days, after TOM, probably on Wednesday or so. I'm in 12s, I feel great, I can tell I'm shrinking, so I"m not gonna get bumbed if the scale hasn't moved. I just want to get a feel for where I'm at poundage wise.

[iyamamaschke]

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

OK I admit it I had a fall of weekness and weighed myself at my MIL the scale was right there mine at home is of course out of batteries so I don't weigh at home. Well Of course stupid time to weigh SARAH dumbass. Well I did weigh and was up 2 pounds TOM I know I was feeling pretty shitty after. I know I know I shouldn't have weighed this close to TOM. I am DUMB. OH well. I am gunna wait till the first and weigh again cause I know I have to have lost at least 1 pound GRR.

So far today I have drank a cup of coffee and 2 8oz cups of water YAY me. LOL. Peed 3 times and that's just the beginning I know It. I'll be goig down to run soon here then I'm gunna torture myself with squats and LUNGES so I can't walk tomorrow. ROFL.

Re: ICES REVISITED (NO EXCUSES) All or Nothing!!!

good job on the water, keep it up, how much more do you have to drink today? I just found out that I don't have to work on Wednesday, so I'm off Wednesday until the next Monday, hooray! WOW, that's like 5 days off. My paycheck is gonna suck, but at least I get to spend some good time with Abi, yeay!
