Hi Everyone,
Last night was so much fun. My youngest DD won the kids dart tourney and got the most bullseyes so she's a happy camper coming home with 2 tropheys. When the pizza hit it was sooooo hard... they kept bringing me plates trying to get me to eat up. I was all "no im no hungry" " no thanks, not in the mood for pizza" etc.. I really didn't want to tell the world HEY IM FAT I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.. CANT YOU SEE YOUR KILLING ME HERE?..
So I made way for the door and went to Subway and got the chicken wrap. Filled me right up and I headed back happy as can be, but that pepperoni pizza kept calling my name.. the dirty little bugger.. I ignored it and did just fine
Later tho I was asked why I couldn't have pizza.. these people know me and know how much I LOVE to eat and couldn't figure out why the past couple of times I've joined them I haven't eaten anything.. so I broke down and told them hoping I wouldnt have to fight with a houseful of people about the "evils" of the Atkins Plan. Surprisingly enough they all thought it was cool and told me they would feed me peas next time.. GAG no thank you I HATE peas! Maybe now that it's out in the open it will be easier for me when we all get together.
On other aspects in life, I'm disappointed. I called to make an appointment to renew my birth control. I have a Norplant at the moment. For me it was god sent. 5 tubes injected into your arm and you dont have to worry about it for 5 years. I wanted to get new ones put in since I'm now on year 7
but was told that they have been discontinued! Now what am I going to do??? *sigh* Pills make me very sick.. they are not an option. I don't like the idea of getting a shot every 3 months and the patch just doesnt seem to be fitting for me. Ack I dunno.......doc said he would try to get ahold of it for me but he couldnt make any promises and I wont know until I go in. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Brenda - I seem to have lost all energy as well. Just so tired lately I don't really know whats going on. But as Star mentioned I haven't exercised in about a week. Other then a few short bike rides etc.. I havent given it nuts like normal. It's either that or this darn snow! Depressing as all get out!
Shimma - Happy to hear your feeling a tad better today. Hang in there girly and get a good nights sleep. You'll do just great!
Jane - As far as your NYC goal... well the numbers and you may not agree, but look at what you have accomplished. That is something to be pround of no matter! You clothes will be fitting just great here in a few, I would rather be "inbetween" sizes headed towards the lower then be stuck at where I was when I started.
Cat - My father is diabetic and he's one of the stubborn ones that doesn't like to admit it. Mom and I are both on Atkin's and he has been too.. he just doesnt realize it
I can't technically say that because she still feeds him potatoes, but all sweets and etc have been converted. Bravo to you for taking control of your health before the real problems arise. Your a step ahead of yourself
Aly - Ive so much wanted to try TGIF's but we dont have one anywhere close to us. Let me know if its worth the hours of driving to dine. Enjoy your dinner!
Teece - Don't feel bad I never kept track of TOM either. It's been so stubborn and so irregular I just gave up on it. Strange but since I've been on Atkins it seems to be pretty predictable.
Star - WTG on avoiding the hangover. I very rarely drink but when I do I giver er nuts and it's always a given the next day I'm going to be spending in slow motion, IF I bother to move at all
GC - Of all the places huh?
I haven't noticed ANY difference in that area which is surprising me, I thought they were going to be the first to go. I wouldnt complain alot, as of now if I want to workout or do anything that requires a bit of bounce I have to to strap them bad boys down. I wear a sports bra thats 2 sizes to small for me just so I don't give myself a black eye
Karen - That numbing does sound terrifying.. such an added bonus on top of the TOM troubles eh? Your website looks great btw, such wonderful designs! Your a very creative person.. Good for you!
Jd - It is extremely difficult to keep up the routines while you have visitors, great choice of going for your walks! But ya never know, maybe you can even get an extra one in with the company of your father
MrsH - GRATZ on the loss! Doesn't it just make you sick how fast men can lose it! ARG! Just not fair!
to anyone I missed.. so many posts today so hard to keep up! Have a great day all and YEAH tomorrow is Friday!!!
but I promised myself no more until later when I have to teach my crochet class!! I might make som CF tea though.. sometimes that perks me up!
Is anyone here close by to meet me for coffee or something while I am there? I'll be in Manchester at a hotel near the Airport.
So, I ended up buying some inbetween jeans. I was driving myself crazy trying to belt on baggy pants everyday. They still felt like they were falling down, and they looked terrible! So, I ended up getting some jeans at Old Navy. I'm not big on spending money, but I figured $20 for some jeans really wasn't too bad. I got them pretty tight, and I've been wearing them for a couple of months. Definitely worth the investment!
