Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well it looks like most of you are off to bed soon as i am ready for a new morning to work.
Its going to be another hot ,hot day here in the uk which dosent help me with the exercise.
It was 9pm last night before it was cool enough to do anything and i only managed a walk round the block (20mins or so)

Im starting another day cheatfree and hope to continue that throughout the day.

Hope those that slipped have a better day ahead tomorrow(gosh that sounds weird when im there already)i cant get my head around the time difference between uk and u.s...am i actually ahead a day or behind ????

Sharon today is Monday, aren't you in Tuesday right now? That is nice how a person can fly into the next day or the previous within hours? Yep its scorching over here in California. I wish it would rain, it almost did yesterday with all the dry dry heat. I put my feet in a bucket full of ice water watching t.v. and my lil son laughed at me, but I was chillin

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well I made it through Monday cheat free. I actually got in 100oz of water! I thought I would float away and believe it or not, still felt thirsty! I was not even tempted when the hubbie and kids got McDonalds! That used to be a BIG downfall for me, so Yeah Me!

Planning on another cheat free day tomorrow with more water in store. It will be a little harder b/c the office I am in tomorrow does not have a water cooler and the tap water is icky. Will bring a bunch with me and buy more if needed.

Keep it up all...

Ok so now I gained like 2 pounds from my wild adventures with food! Though I know I have no one to blame but myself! I did have a cheat free day yesterday!!! I plan to have another today! I need to get back on my water kick though. I have been slacking there as well!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

HI EVERYONE!!!!!! Oh my gosh! Don't leave for a day and try to come back! You'll have pages and pages to catch up on!!! But that's just what I'm about to do! (WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!) My excuse for yesterday though, was my mom and I took my bother's fiance out for the day to get to know her better. She is truly a gem. One of the sweetest angels upon this earth. Drop dead gorgeous too! I took notes as I read today so I could say something to everyone, and now I have over a page covered with notes! Will I get them all in? That is the question! So, if I miss anyone, please forgive me, and know that I'm thinking of you all, and wishing you all the best!


Dolphin....as you have been the most active supporter this week, I think you deserve first thought! You are just rockin' this thread right now, and I'm so proud of you! 4 pounds in your past 4 days cheat free is an EXCITING accomplishment, and I'm very happy for you. You just keep chillin' in your ice water to keep cool, and cruisin' through these cheat free days! By the way, I missed all of you too!

Christine... how did you enjoy day one on the dairy rung? Did it cause any cravings. I'm not sure wether to start that now before I go on vacation to give myself a little more liberality in foods, or to wait until I have daily access to fitday when I get back. Hmmmmm decisions!

Roshan....CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW 1 MONTH BLINKIE!!!! You are doing SOOOO awesome!!! And on the anti yeast version too! It was a challenge coming up with yummy anti yeast foods. One of my favorites was steak roll ups. Thin steak seasoned and fried, then rolled up around a dab of cream cheese! mmmmmmmmm

Tirtle and Cristy....day 3 and you're making it! Way to go!!! Yes, better planning for functions is a necessity we all can benefit from I'm sure. Eating to fullness before going is another idea, then you can enjoy the sights without the tastes.

Terry....congrats on making it thru your weekend away! I'm going to have coolers stocked with the same things tomorrow, along with homecooked roast beef. I'm so excited to leave, its killin me! Hey, you need to pull Starmaker's hair this time, and get her back here! We're needing an update!

Roxy.... smelling things does help, doesn't it? Congrats on getting through some more days clean!!!

FedUp....sorry your weight loss has slowed, but keep up this way, and you'll be dropping again in no time. Gosh...I remember the last time I weighed 193...I think it was on my wedding day 8 years ago.

dotsamantha....WELCOME!!! Glad you're hopping onboard. Just make sure you post at least once a week to let us know how you're doing to keep your membership active, and we'll be looking forward to seeing your success!

Princess Leah....you got through Day 1....day 1 of the rest of your life! You're gonna make it, hun!!!

Kislandmom....those darn birthdays! How they trip us up!! Glad you got right back on your feet. Congrats too on getting past McDonalds this time, but I wanted to ask. Does McDonald's by you offer the grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch salad? Because its REALLY good, and it has 11 carbs with 9 of those being fiber leaving you with only 2 carbs total. If you get the italian dressing, its very induction friendly. Look out for the ranch though,since for some stupid reason Newman's Own has 9 carbs in the pouch.

Booklady...I know that urge to snack when bored only too well. Christine made some good suggestions! Hobbies using your hands is a good way to avoid eating. But also, what about keeping more Atkins friendly snacks available, such as celery sticks and raw veggies, hard boiled eggs (perhaps deviled) and cheese sticks? Very yummy stuff! Hope this helps, and gets you through your week without your DS. Its funny how we look forward to that time alone, and then feel so lonely when we get it! I left my DS at my SIL's the night before last, and it felt like I was leaving my heart behind when I left. Poor little sweetie. I was so glad to see him again! Don't worry, the week will pass fast!

Kat...you're bloat is probably from TOM....the good thing about TOM is he usually brings a nice whooshie at the end of his stay! Wishing that for you!

Tamariah....way to go on your cleanliness lady! Sorry its hot in Norway for you, but if I'm not mistaken, it won't last long, will it? Hope you're having a fantastic afternoon!

Ok everyone, gotta get moving getting ready for my trip! SOOOOOO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!! I'm going to do the update today, than Christine will take over until I return (thank you again, Christine!!! ), and I will try to post as often as I can while I'm away! Best of luck to you all!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Marion! You're very welcome...I just hope that I can do it right! Consequently, when is the best time to do it? Morning or night?

Day one on Dairy wasn't too bad. It wasn't life changing, but it was nice. I added 1/3 of a cup of cottage cheese to my breakfast, and I had an extra ounce of cream cheese as a snack. I did buy some semi-soft cheeses I've been dying for, so I'm looking forward to those. I weigh daily (Only count it once a week though) and I'm down a pound, so even though it's probably not from the change in my diet (yet), it makes me feel validated and good.

Everyone is doing so well! It always takes me awhile to get caught up when I'm gone for the day or after I get up in the morning. I love how busy this thread is, and I'm always interested in reading how others have done with their day. I can relate so much to all of you! The water, the exercise, the cravings...it feels good to know that I'm not the only one out there having these feelings!

You're all amazing and i'm cheering you all on for another cheat free day! We can do it!

[Roxy]
