Well yep I'm up late. I was talking to my friend again who is out in Cali. He wants me to come visits bc he would like to start a relationship. Hmm not so sure about that. We will see.
I am up & not tired but bored.
Carrie-maybe I am bored with food. I am still eating 5-6 times a day I just dont want to. Before I use to shovel food in my mouth bc I was a emotional eater. Now thank God Atkins has really addressed my addiction. I'm feeling good & losing weight & as you can see, still wired at 3 am !!
I'm sure with time I will want to eat again. I do try new things so maybe I will try more new things. I am just so broke I really cant afford to buy much so new things will have to wait.
Well everyone have a great day & hope its a OP day.
I will come back later to read posts. Make'em good !!
I couldn't sleep anymore, my throat is hurting. I'm gonna head off to the store for some coldeeez (sp?) that stuff works! but the store doesn't open for another 2 hours LOL.
Lets see today is cookie and spinach dip making day along with cleaning my messy house. I have a few more gifts to wrap as well.
Tomorrow is a little get together at my sisters house and thats about it for plans....... I'm happy, I like weekends to myself. I love to sit all day saturday in my jamies but thats only in the winter, for some reason in the summer I can't. I get antzy and want to go outside.
Dawn, don't let the thought of eating consume your mind, just go with the flow. Letting food absorb our days is how we got to becoming over weight in the first place, just relax about it and you'll do just fine. I am a compulsive over eater and when I was following atkins I did wonderful, its when I let myself last christmas nibble here and there because I was bored with the food, and then WHAM! I gained everything back. Enjoy the slow pace, enjoy the weight loss.... Your doing wonderful and you have an excellent frame of mind, your gonna do it !!
Hi Leenie and Dawn! Bright eyed and bushy-tailed? I am going to take a shower, get ready to pop out to the bank, go food shopping, then catch up with DH and go Christmas shopping! Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it! I have been staying OP and behaving myself, so I have to be careful when I am with DH. He will want to get something out. I'll bring some water and something for me on the road so I don't get over hungry and agree to something, I really don't want to do.
Leenie- hope your sore throat goes away! Enjoy your little get together at your sis's tomorrow!
Dawn- well... at least you are feeling good! I wouldn't over think things. If you are eating good and not hungry, but have energy. That's good. If you become dizzy, weak or depressed then worry bigtime!
I'll catch up with all of you later today sometime, all of you have a great day OP and have fun while you become fantabulous looking.
I was a bad girl at the party last night and I have a headache! OMG!! I am off to pick up the kids at SIL house and I just wanna go back to bed, I will check back in later!!
Dawn, well if you are eating 5-6x a day, that's great. Your body is probably still adjusting to the lower calorie intake..and your body is probably wondering if its ok to have your tummy shrink a little. With food addictions, thats a different story. I can obviously relate in that. In some cases it is just better not to think about food, do something else. You sound right in that. So what are you going to do with that guy? Have you known him for a while? oooooh I never like the idea of transfering anywhere, but if its worth it.. hmmm?! Interesting. Are you losing weight for the would-if's in that situation? Sorry I'm prying. lol This stuff is just interesting to me.
Today is my darling hubby's b-day. *sigh* He is such a hottie. He is an easy Orlando Bloom look alike. But he just let me cut off his hair, and he shaved the beard.. So his face looks like the "Lord of the rings" Orlando Bloom, now. Love my hotty. We are totally broke this year. But we are going to have a date after the kids go down for the night. I love that he's the romantic type too. Candles and bubble bath.. woooo. What he also wants is desserts. So I am going to indulge him with that too. I'm going to fudge it on my woe today. But then the holiday season is over for the year!! Induction, until I get to the weight I want. I'm excited for tomorrow. Jeremiah is singing in the Christmas choir with me. YAY! Sorry girls, but I get excited that we can do this stuff together. Yay!
Dawn: You sound like a night owl like me. Before I got PG I would stay up all hours of the night. Now, I am lucky if I am still up at 10pm!! Sounds like this plan is working for you! When I was following Atkins closely I got that way too. I would be hungry, but didnt' want to eat. Seems that the thought of food made me almost sick. It will pass! Hang in there! You are doing awesome!
Leenie: How's things going with the new boss at work??? We miss seeing you around here! Hope that your throat feels better soon. The last week I have had a bad cough and sore throat. It's starting to feel better now, so I sympathize with you! Enjoy your weekend. (I am still in my pj's and it's after 2pm) lol
Roxy: Sounds like you have a busy day planned! Enjoy your time out with the DH Shopping!
TG: Sounds like you had fun at the party! Shame on you for being such a bad girl Just joking! Everybody's gotta be bad sometime! Hope you feel better today and have a great weekend!
Carrie: Happy Birthday to the DH! Sound like you two have a romantic evening planned! Hope that you have fun! Have a great weekend!
Well, nothing really happening here today. I should be cleaning the house...but I dont' wanna DH is working today, and so it's been quiet here. Was a nice day to sleep in so that's what I did! Going to try to get a little cleaning done today. Don't know if I told you all, but me and DH got the nursery ready last weekend! It looks amazing. We did the Winnie the pooh theme! We've got a few more odds and ends to finish in there, but it's looking sooooo good. My dad is supposed to be coming tomorrow to look at it! He wants to see the crib we got for the baby! Well, he paid for it, we just picked it out! He's getting so excited about being a grand-pa again! Says it feels like it's new all over again since his only grandchild will be 15 soon! Tomorrow we are having another baby shower. This one is supposed to be huge. Over 75 people were invited. The church where my dad goes is giving it to me. I grew up in that church, but when we got married, we started going to DH's church. I'm so excited about it! Tomorrow night me and DH are heading out Christmas Shopping. Hopefully we will get everything done then, and all I'll have left to do is the wrapping. That and the little baking I am going to do! Well, I need to head off here and get some cleaning done! Hope everyone has a great day and weekend!
Just checking in Blew it yesterday and today. Yesterday was hot cocoa, corn nuts and french fries. Today it was pizza and cake (too much of each). I also did something to my thumb the first time I threw my bowling ball last night. It stuck Well, the rest of the night it CONTINUED to stick and it was like I was lobbing the ball down the lane instead of rolling it. Sucked at bowling and have a sore finger to boot. GRR!! Anyway, the WI was as expected---same as siggie weight. My hope of losing at least 5 pounds before Christmas is shot in the Asked DH why I do this to myself when I KNOW it's going to make me feel like sh*t along with guilty for sabotauging myself. Oh, and did chocolate cake ALWAYS taste so gross?? Blech! So why'd I have TWO pieces?? Double Blech!! Ok. Off to bed and a new start tomorrow!!!! If I keep this up I'll need a girdle to suck in part of my gut for that skirt!!!
oh, DH's grandma got moved to another wing. It's where they'll work on getting her better and able to leave. But the way things are standing now, she'll never be able to live alone again. Told DH wish we lived on a 1 level house. I'd quit my job and take care of her vs having to put her in an assisted living place! GRRRR
Gee I hope the sun comes out today, this is getting me down, but I think they are calling for snow late tonight.
Today is more laundry day, and thats about it, I have 0 energy to clean upstairs. It will have to wait until next weekend.
Most likely tomorrow I'll be calling in sick, I feel miserable with this cold so I'm not even gonna try to get to work.
I'm supposed to go to my sisters late this afternoon but I might stay home and have DH bring the food I made for her party to her. I'd be just plum tuckered !!!
Thanks for the well wishes.
Brenda hope G'ma gets better fast !!
Lisa enjoy the baby shower and don't worry about the house Boss man is okay, nice, cute, but very needy, OY, Im sure it will stop soon and its just b/c he is new. He's learning quick that things don't happen in a LARGE company as quick as he wants LOL.
Carrie hope your DH's birthday was a good one
TG, hope your feeling better.
Roxy, my DH is the same way, every stinkin time we go out, he wants to stop somewhere for food....its really hard, I agree.
Hope everyone's doing well. Talked to the MIL about grandma. She got moved to a room upstairs where they'll work on rehabilitation. She'll be in there for quite awhile. MIL and her 2 siblings have to decide what to do about her. She can't go home again. Too many stairs. And she doesn't want to go to a home. It's going to be an interesting time!
Back to being OP!!!!!! Time to run because the laundry is starting to take over the house and we're about to have to walk around buck naked. NOT a pretty sight when it comes to me
How is the weekend so far ? Mine's alright. Snow & lots of cleaning.
Carrie: Yeah I am definately fighting a food addiction. Never thought a time would come when I didnt obsess about food. Cheeseburgers & cake dont even turn me on. Wow !! I have known the guy in San Fran not very long but he & I are very interested in each other. I think I am crushing big time. I guess its a good thing since my divorce was so bad I have been a hermit for almost a year & very closed to the idea of romance & love. This guy & I have alot of laughs which is good & he dont mind that I"m so involved with animals. He wants me to come out & meet him the weekend of Christmas. We dont celebrate it bc we're not Christian & we were going to hang out just to see. I am not sure yet bc I dont have a house sitter for my dog & rabbits. If I dont go this time he said whenever I can come he just wont have the 3 days off. If we did decide to get together & get married I would move there. His medical license is for Cali only. I guess it would be nice for a change of pace. I just would miss working. He told me I dont need to work & of course when kids come he wants me to be a stay at home mommy/animal raiser. We will see. I started Atkins right before I met him but now that he wants to meet yeah losing weight is part of the deal. He knows I am no skinny minnie but I dont know what his idea of fat is !!! He never said anything about women being fat or skinny but doesnt like to skinny !! Well whats that !! I think waaay to much & I am soo nervous that now I can't eat !! I really like him & when I dont hear from him I have knots in my stomach. I have been so neurotic since my divorce. I hope I can calm down & relax or else I will scare the poor guy away if I havent already !!! Sorry to go on & on I am just expressing myself & I know thats how this forum goes.
Other then that still OP & doing good. Forcing myself to eat but someone said on this thread they were that way to. Hopefully it will pass. I'm staying on Induction for another 2 months then I will move to Phase 2.
Well cant wait to hear about everyones weekend. Forgive my wackiness !!
Dawn: Sounds like you're nervous. Just remember to take your time and if it's right you'll know Congrats w/being OP yet!!
Well, today went well. Same headaches and dry lips as usually follows days of carb-fests. ARGH!!! I don't now what's into me (besides crap right now). But I do know that even if I screw up between now and Christmas, come 1/2/04 I will be starting a progressive push to lose more weight. Right now I'm just coasting. Biding my time I guess. I'll be happy when Christmas is over. Oh, we got our tree today. Yes, a stupid real one. Did I mention what happens when I get poked by the thing?? I break out in a rash. Sweet, eh? To be allergic to Christmas trees? Is it any wonder I want a fake one? GRrr... DH and I can't agree though. So of course the spoiled brat gets his way I'll try and remember to take a picture and post it for you all. He put the lights on and the girls decorated it. By tree light Should be interesting to see what it looks like in daylight! It's a HUGE tree. Bigger than we've ever had. And I really wish I didn't break out!!!! Still looking for a nice dress coat to go w/my dress for Christmas.
Saturday & Sunday 12/11 & 12/12
