Halloween Challenge 2008!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Okay...I think I have ingested too much sodium somewhere. I don't feel bloated, but that's the only thing that I can't explain the 2 lbs I gained. Since I am still in ketosis, I am not flipping out. I haven't eaten anything that would knock me out. I am a bit concerned that the extra poundage hasn't moved though. I weighed myself 3 days ago, and then this morning and it's the same. I am hoping it comes off soon.
Took the vitamins today. Drank about 90 ounces. I didn't exercise. I will tomorrow though and hopefully that'll help with the 2 lbs of water that just wont leave me alone.
Hubs(gbidruglord) and I ate low carb Hardee's last thursday and then at my parents all weekend...needless to say all very salty.
I guess we'll see.

Yeah, sure sounds like it could be the salt, Tink ... well, it'll disappear. This is why I don't weigh myself too often ... those ups and downs freak me out!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hi Gang,
Tink, I know how your feeling. I eat something salty and my rings will get tight I get so bloated. I am sure it is definetly water weight.
MissLiss, Nightmares? Your not watching all the October scary movies are you. I watched this show called A Haunting on discovery and my husband was working nights so I slept with all the lights on scared out of my witts! I dont know why I watch things like that. As much as they scare me I still find them interesting.
How's tricks everyone? Staying away from the treats?
Things are good here. I am sticking with the plan and slowly getting over my recent loss of ketosis.
Have a Boorific day everyone!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hi, Razzle! Good to "see" ya!

Had a busy morning so far ... up and out to the gym by 5:30; came home and helped my husband clean up the yard; back inside, scarfed down a quick breakfast of turkey sausage, and then swept and mopped the floors and did some bookkeeping ... and it's only 9:30 I love getting stuff out of the way early so I can chill out later with a clear conscience To be a successful slug, you must be organized, you see

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Razzle, you are too funny! My nightmares aren't from movies...and those shows you watch terrify me too, lol...I use to watch them because they are interesting, but I always find that I feel better if I don't watch them...so I don't,lol.

So Razzle are you getting back into the grove of things?

Hugs all!

Update:

Water: maintaining a level of 8-10 glasses/day

No Cheat: got that covered great!

weight: lost 7.5 of the 12lbs already

Exercising: keeping it to 4-5 days/week

Pant Size: Squeezing into a size 16, can zipper it up yet

Another 2 more weeks to go! I'm gonna work my hardest
to make all my goals that I have set forth. Hope everyone else
does as well.

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Cruisergal, you're doing great!

Hello, fellow Challengers ... Halloween's only a couple of weeks away; where did this month go?!

I'm staying on point with all my goals ... am anxious to weigh myself on the 31st and see if my hard work has paid off

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hello, hello, hello all!! How have you all been? I read through the posts and it looks like everyone's doing so well!

I *think* I'm able to start LC'ing it again! Sadly in the short time I was off I probably put on about 4 pounds. How is that possible?!? The setback is depressing but I'm gonna soldier on. Anywoo it's nice to be back and "see" everyone again!

And Ms. Doodette, I think you're doing fabulously as the challenge leader so I'm joining the club as a regular old 'weenie if you don't mind!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Bunny!!! Hey there, sweetie ... so good to see you again Well, we've been limping along without you ... much better now that you're back! I don't think I've been doing much "leading" ... it just seems that way

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Oh I dunno, Norah... I think you're our personal Halloween cheerleader. Ya gotta quit being modest!



So it was weird when I wasn't watching my carbs. As much as I hem and haw about it sometimes, I think the structure of Atkins is good for me. I'm just not good at watching calories and such. Plus weight-wise, carbs are just not my friends...

Reminds me of Finding Nemo - Fish are our friends, NOT FOOD!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Awwwws, bunny is back! Hi hunny bunny...yeups that's cute.

Anyhow. I haven't stepped on a scale in a few days because of the whole TOM thing...but... Someone told me the other day that it looked like my pants where going to fall off! LOL, I hugged and thanked them, lol. So I'm going to give away all my size 32's, 30's and 28's by halloween I think. I have a pair of never worn before 26's up stairs and I think I'm going to try them on this weekend =) Water intake has been good. I stopped mesuring exactly what I was intaking because I just don't have time, but I do know that I take in well over 64 ounces per day. I'm guessing my daily intake is between 100 and 120 ounces.

Oh, my back is doing much much better. Almost 100% again =)

Okay my halloween peeps, hugs n loves!
