ROBIN - Big congrats to you on a great start with induction. Sounds tempting to keep on induction to make even more progress.
I have to laugh, my new "treat" is whole wheat toast with splenda and cinnamon. Now that is so unlike me but so Atkins-like.
DH is thrill, Patriots did really well last night and it was a good game.
I am still feeling awful and and can't take advantage that DD's friends took her off to the Museum of Science this morning. I would love to go to the gym but my headache precludes that.
I also have a funeral this afternoon, so I am hoping to be able to drive over, take a dose of cough syrup and make it through the service, though everyone I know has this ailment so I won't be the only hacking.
RACHEAL - Good for you meeting the noncoffee, coke, et al goal. What an accomplishment. The real key is that you spent all your energy finding what works and not focused on what you can't do or what won't work or making excuses. Don't you love the microwaving lemons and limes, love that hint. Sounds like you are onto the toning portion of your plan, have you tried the yoga workout for abs yet? I find them really useful, I have used the Rodney Yee ones, gentle but work.
LISA - Shopping already, I had to laugh, I used motherhood as an excuse to avoid the stores at all times.
I do hate shopping though but loved cooking, hence never lost my baby weight even though I nursed for a year.
Taking it easy, maybe watch some junky TV. Have to plan this week carefully, 4 day workweek plus late Tuesday night, along with my BDay on Thursday, steak and cauliflower for dinner menu, then going out with friends on Friday and a big celebration on Saturday, planning for success I say.
