Good morning,

Another cheat free day under my belt! Wow, the list is really growing... Everyone should give themselves a pat on the back. Congratulations and keep up the great work!

Christine - I am in awe of you. Getting up at 4:30 to work out. If only I could drag my rear outta bed at that time, well heck, I'd probably be a size 2 by now.

Terry - good job planning ahead for your trip. It always helps. And welcome!

ImCommitted & FedUp - Congrats on another day cheat free and for a pound loss FedUp.

Welcome to all the newbies!

Hmm...I'm thinking that I need to learn how to quote. I forget half the stuff I've read by the time I get to the end.

I'm still doing well. Yesterday was a pretty easy day to stay on plan, so no problems. I was very hungry and hot and thirsty after it took me an hour and a half to get home (it's usually only 40 minutes) so I made dinner right away when I got home to avoid any temptations.

I saw an interesting report on the morning news. Alzheimers has now been linked to diabetes. I can't say that I'm surprised. I mean, all the junky stuff helps to cause diabetes. When you're eating all that junky stuff, you suffer from brain fog. Years and years of brain fog is bound to do some damage. So see, there's another reason to change your WOL to Atkins.

May everyone have a good cheat free day! We are much stronger than sugar!

Yesterday was cheat-free, even though I had two servings of Panna Cotta. It was so darned hot and humid last night, I wanted all that cold and creamy stuff to cool me off! I was still within my 20 grams of carbs . . . but my exercise sucked yesterday.

I hurt my back Sunday night by taking an evening 2-mile walk in the WRONG SHOES!!! Stupid girl! I should have turned around when I realized I hadn't changed them, but . . . no, I was a moron and walked in what are essentially little Chinese flats for 2 miles -- and me with 2 herniated discs. Brilliant, I know. So, I'm paying for it now. Hence, bad exercise yesterday. I really worked my physical therapy exercises this morning, though. Hopefully, things will kick back into place by tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

XOXOXOX

(Did you suspect it would be that much?)

I had no idea what it was going to be. I didn't believe the nurse when she told me how much it was. LOL I am so happy.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the support and encouragement! You guys are awesome!

May you all have an Atkins Friendly week! We ARE worth it! And we DO deserve to be healthy and happy!

Here is a link for those who drink Diet Coke, or non Splenda sweetened diet sodas: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...857#post455857

Just feel both sides of the story should be out there. I kept laughing at my friend who told me diet soda will give me alzheimers...maybe she's right. Anyway, water is best, and I'm gonna stick to it a little closer from now on!

Terry...way to go getting your exercise in today! And good going planning for your trip! Planning prevents cheating, as Jimmie 48 would say!

ImCommited... Way to go on another Clean day!

FedUp...Awesome...another pound down! You're just trucking right along!

Stacy... Sorry about your back! Are you laying down? I had a herniatic disk once that left me unable to use my legs or back at all, and I ended up in bed for 5 days with some heavy duty pain killers! Now whenever it starts acting up, I lay down for about a day, and the trouble goes away for awhile. I hope you get better soon! Way to go on staying cheat free despite the pain!

Hi Lady_Hawke! Glad to see you're still doing great too!

Just did my walk, too! I wish I knew the distance, but it was 30 minutes of walking, some of it uphill pushing 70 pounds worth of children in a stroller.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Okay everybody....

I've beat myself up long enough about falling off the wagon and today it feels like I have it back together. Without getting into a really private area for now, I'll just tell you guys that my focus has gotten back where it needs to be and I'm looking forward to a place I want to go. I can achieve it fat or thin, but I'm going to be thin when I get there.

And as a good start back on the right road... I've been on the treadmill TWICE already today! 19 minutes this morning and 61 just now!

Just keep trying, hon! You'll get back in the swing of things! One day at a time.
