    321 - Take Off

    Here I go. I have said it before over and over....if I could only just GET STARTED!
    So here I am. I can usually do anything once I just get up and get started. It's procrastinating and putting off my start date that has been my trouble.

    Induction here I am. Take me over. Make me over. Pantry is stocked. I read the book. I researched all of this out the wazoo.

    Finally, joined the ADBB that I have been lurking in for weeks and pumping myself up with all the success stories. Got my weight ticker loaded. Got the supportive spouse.

    I am ready!
    I can and will do this.
    Gotta bring my own 'sexy' back! I miss it so much!

              Re: 321 - Take Off - I failed so I am restarting.

              Well crap, it's the 4th and I failed miserably. Faulty rocket I guess? Nah, just my lack of will power. Dern the holiday homemade candy, Dern the wine at the New Years Party, Dern the fact that I love the white stuff. The breads, the noodles, the taters.....Dern dern dern

              I am just going to get back up, brush myself off and begin again...so I'll have to change my signature and begin induction all over. I want my failures recorded, so when I do finally get to GW, I will enjoy my merit a bit more.

              The kids go back to school on the 7th and its harder to do it with them home, because I have to cook for them 3 times instead of just dinner. I end up eating a hotdog or sandwhich if I cook one for them, etc.

              I seem to do fine when I just prepare the dinner for the family and a separate meal for myself. Especially because hubby is a witness at the dinner table, you know...

              OK enough with the excuses and the why and the negativity.

              Must get back up. Must get back on track. Must bring my sexy back.

              Restarting....I can do this. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.

                Chris, I'm really glad that you came back despite falling off the wagon. Many others might have just thrown in the towel.

                Like Sandy said, you'll want to plan some really tasty, satisfying, fatty meals for the first few days especially. If you plan to eat decadent things, you'll be less likely to feel deprived because of those things you can't eat. Steak, shrimp with butter, cheesy, creamy sauces. Try this website for lots of great recipes: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/index.html.

                Best of luck to you!

                  Re: 321 - Take Off

                  Thanks and no I am not giving up. I know this works and I have to keep going no matter what.

                  Yeah, I did stock the frig with good stuff. The holidays stuff around me was top notch too...lol. So I must rid the house and keep only rations of white for the kiddos and hubby.

                  All the success stories are what will keep me going and coming back for more.

                  I want really want a success story of my own.
                  That is my fuel.

                    Welcome back to what works if you let it! I have just one other thing to say to you:


                    "Don't wait for inspiration. Begin and inspiration will come. Stop wishing, wanting or dreaming and just do it! What are you waiting for?"

                    That got me through the rough spots!

                    Sunny!

                    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.


                    "Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."
