Happy Friday!

Staying on plan, but really nervous about this weekend. My days for screwing up are Saturdays and Sundays. Going to try really hard to stay busy all weekend so I don't graze and ruin the success I've had so far this week.

Good Morning :coffee:

Im here Lace.....just sleepin' in a bit :o

Morgaine~ have some emergency foods around, like already boiled eggs, and tuna already mixed up the way you like it. Personally, I dont think its all that bad to take a day off, as long as I dont over do it and get right back to it the next day. Especially if you are working out daily :)

Dh took me out for supper last night. We didnt want anything heavy so I had the half santa fe salad, and dh had the sirlion ceasar salad. It was nice......and no dishes to do :lol:

We found out yesterday that our next door neighbour is in the hospital. We knew something was up when her car didnt move all weekend. But we dont worry too much about her because her brother lives across the street, and the other brother is about 5 houses down. But anyway, she was scheduled for a quad bypass this morning at 730! She had no idea her cholestoral was so bad for so long, and that the pains she was having was her heart. She said it felt just like indegestion....she would burp and the pain would go away. But when she woke with it, she knew it was time to get it checked.

She has been doing ww for over a year, and has lost over 115lbs!! The dr told her that if she hadnt lost the weight, she most likely would have had a serious heart attack instead, and damage would have been done to her heart. But he also told her that it was inevitable. So just a word to the nay-sayers some diets, its not the diet that takes the weight off, its the way of eating the many many years of eating what ever they wanted causes heart disease. Because she lost the weight, and had her symptoms checked out, the dr told her, her heart is very very healthly, just plugged up plumbing.

Ladies.......pay attention to your body, and what it is telling you :)

Dh and are off to the botanical gardens today, see whats happening over there, then I think a trip to a garden center. We need something for when our neighbour comes home, and a friend has bought their very first house around the corner from us...so something housewarmingish for them too.

Thats the plan for today, .........oh, and a workout too!!

Have a great day ladies, and take care of yourselves.

Morgaine, graze all day if you feel like it. Just make sure that your grazing is protein and your allowed veggies. I eat something every couple of hours. I've been known to snack on a steak or a hamburger pattie with cheese or some beef strips or chicken strips or shrimp.

I'm going back to the gym in 10 minutes. I have my clothes and I think my cold is gone enough to let me work out. I miss it and I've gained 3/4 lb.

Happy Saturday :woo:

Well, after my workout yesterday and talking to some very helpful ladies in the LWL threads, I am going to up my carbs a bit. Slowly, and smartly. By the time I was done my workout yesterday I was bone tired, and had a really hard time lifting the weights I had lifted on monday. So this seems to be the answer. The trick will be to so this without alot of fat, because I cant add carbs, and have my fat intake where it is, and still lose weight. Really, tho in studying my fitday, it will just be a matter of switching my cream in my coffee to 2% and ease up on the salad dressings. So I should be ok.

Dh and I watched "Cave" last night....pretty good thriller. A little bit different from your run of the mill monster eats person movie :lol:

Not sure what we are up to today........so have a great saturday ladies!

:) Happy Saturday!

Going to go to the zoo with the family today.

Still going strong with induction. My dh told me yesterday he could tell I'm losing weight. It was really nice to hear that from him. He doesn't say things unless he really means them. I was very surprised to hear that from him yesterday.

I've lost alot in my face and I can see my stomach area shrinking. It amazes me. But a long haul ahead till goal weight.
:)

Superstacy: pictures, pictures!! I love before, during and afters :)

Robin: very smart of you to think about LWL now, that's a great idea...to just slip into it. Happy weekend :carrot:

Brenda: :hug: :hug: :hug:

hockeyfan: did you have a nice workout??

My dad brought my treadmill in the house and I'm super thrilled, I have NO excuse not to walk when it's cold outside now!!!

and I'm afraid to vex this by talking about it but I'm 3 pounds away from weighing what I did in high school. Still have 25 lbs. to go after that to reach goal, but I just honestly can't believe that I'm here right now. It's like I'm slipping into this body and this person that I don't know and it's all very surreal. I keep trying on clothes, and I make a million different trips down the aisle to get a smaller size and it freaks me out, I keep thinking 'No, these just run big, I don't really wear a 12", but then I try different brands and need a 12 in them too. I just can't believe it still, and in 25 lbs. it'll be a smaller size and that just really hypes me up. :carrot: :carrot: Anyway, I know a size 12 is huge to lots of people but I haven't been this size since I was 18.

Lacey

Lacy I have never been a size 12 since before high school I entered high school at a 14 or there some place but no lower. I did squeeze my but in a 12 for about 1 month the last time I did so welland then life took over so Honey I can feel the joy riding through the computer and enjoy it!!! and at that size down 25 will probably get you down 2 sizes!!

Happy Saturday
 

Hello everyone I am on my 6th day and I have done no cheating. I am doing so good and I am so proud of myself. I am at my fiends housde and we are having pizza, but i will only eat the toppings. I think I finally made it to ketosis cause I am so refreshed. Well I got my TOM so I am not going to weigh on monday like I usually do and it explains why i was extra hungry this first week. I have made a commitment to make it to the gym monday-thursday of next week cause i am leaing town friday, so keep me to my word. have a great weekend, will check in later.:carrot:

Long day yesterday, and still again today. I did OK diet wise except I am definatly not eating enough at all!!!5 chicken selects (no sauce) and a protien shake is certainly not enough. I did manage to keep under 30 carbs though.
Yesterday I cought the bunnies mating and creating a whole family under the table and I threw water at them. I think I will be OK for a while. until they regroup again.

LOL naseus, you crack me up. Seeing as how it's still early for me I had to think about that for a second. I actually had real rabbits pictured under a table for a minute :)

Gonna get us around and head to church this morning, it looks like it's gonna be a marvelous day so maybe I can get a walk in too :)

Lace

Good Morning :sunny:

I had to think about that too, I thought, well, if you thru water at them, you'd have a blob of bunny mess stuck to the floor :lol: (I read it right after I woke up) cute! :lol:

Lacey~ have a nice morning :)

We had a bit of excitment around here last night (in the neighbourhood) at about 4am, one of our neighbours was chasing a car down the street in his boxers, tshirt, and BAREFOOT! on the snowy road....hollering for the car to stop because it hit one of the ones parked!! Personaly I think he's nuts!! I would have just taken the plate number and called the police, but hey nobody said the guy was all there sometimes :crazy: I certainly wouldnt stop at 4 am if a guy was chasing me down the street :lol:

This stuff usually only happens in the summer time :lol:

Not alot planned for today, should be a nice day tho....have a great day ladies.

Morning all! Well that damn TOM came to visit, and frankly, I wasn't prepared for it, but so is life. I'm also down another 2 pounds, happily. I was taking in to many carbs, so I have been eating mostly protien with one small serving of salad (1 a day). I have just ben having such a resistance!

Yesterday was long so I didn't make it to the gym. I went and had Indian food with some friends, and did very well. I gave them the rice and bread that came with the meal. After I finish my breakfast, i'm off to the gym to walk and then get groceries.

Robin- the last time (ok, the only time) I had a guy running after my car in his boxers was after me and 4 girlfriends rolled his house! We stupidly did a drive by to see our handy work when the sun started to rise. Man it wasa beautiful! :cool: And as we started to drive by, we realized he was standing in the street looking at his house.. yeah, he chased up a good distance. We didn't just t.p. the place, but also took tampons, fresh out of the box, and tied them by the string in his trees. 5 boxes of 40, so you can imagine how many there were. We dumped bags of cherrio type cereal all over the yard, so when the sprinkler system came on, they would swell! Oh it was good.. We did other stuff, but I thought those parts were our most genious. The guy was a total jerk, and deserved it. As an adult now, I feel sorry for his parents.. but heh. Good times... Good times.. LOL

Everyone have a good day!!!
:D
