Good afternoon, everyone Hope you are having a great day!

Feeling MUCH better today. I can't believe how horrible I felt after eating carbs & how much better I feel back on the low-carb WOL. It really is amazing.

Falon, hope you feel better SOON!

Sherry, I hate playing catch-up! I know what you mean... I always have to tell myself "this too shall pass"!

Jackie: Have a nice rest

Kayla: Glad to hear you're feeling better.

I HAD to have some meat in my diet (craved it. Can you believe it?) so ate a couple slices of venison sausage and a couple smoked sausage (I know, the salt'll probably kill me). I'm content now to wait for supper and eggs

Well I got back down to 243. Still two pounds up from my lowest, but it is dropping.

wtg Sherry!!!

Sherry, congrats -- that's great! Way to go. My DH and I do have our bank accounts at the same bank, but they are not tied together. We use US Bank and they don't take money from mine if he overdraws. You could ask the question and see if they can keep them separated.

Falon, hope you are feeling better. Can you have diet 7UP? I know it's soda, but that helps my stomach when it's upset.

Brenda, tell your husband to watch Dr. Phil. There was a very large lady on there the other day who has now had 13 affairs since she's been married and she's pregnant now with some other guy's kid. There are plenty of guys out there who won't care if you have extra weight if they want to get laid.

Ladies, I do tend to be really bad. I have told people who have made smart remarks about me being fat that yeah, I'm fat, but they are ugly. I can diet but they are stuck. I've also said I may be fat, but at least I'm a decent human being which is more than I can say for you. Another thing is to look at them and say excuse me, does Elvis talk to you and did you miss your last dose of medication cause there's garbage coming out your mouth.

I just don't believe in taking it when people are making smart comments to me that are personal. Not my style. And if they are being mean, they don't deserve nice.

I'm getting spoiled at home. I go home now and hand DH my dirty dishes from breakfast and lunch at work and my coat and he takes them with no comment and kisses me hello. Today he's doing the grocery shopping and then he's going home to clean the kitchen and bathrooms. He'll have dinner ready when I get home. Yesterday he put new stain on the kitchen cabinets and installed handles on my cabinet doors and drawers for me so I don't break a nail. He also did all the laundry.

Susan Can I please borrow DH. I could use a man like that around here. Mine is still in the dog house and I am not sure when he will get out. I will have to see but if I can use your dh for a while he may learn!

Ok I have made it through 2 days of induction with no cheating. I am feeling really sick to my stomach this evening and I am headed for bed early. Hope you all had a healthy day, will catch up with yall later. -Sandra

Way to go Sandra for your clean 2 days. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.
Way to go Sherry for the loss.

I'm back to eating very clean. It has been a good eating day for me. I have some chicken strips I grilled tonight that I am taking to work. Work is hard for me. What do you eat in the middle of the night????? Sometimes I take an actual meal, other times a shake does me, and other times NOTHING satisfies me. Every once in a while one of the trainmasters will buy us breakfast from a local place which is usually a ham & cheese omelette. I like those nights because I feel full when I get home and can not eat anything before going to sleep. Its always something different at work. I really would like to get into a routine of some sort. Oh well...I guess as long as it is all low carb thats all that matters. Ok...I'm done rambling.

See ya.

Ok so I woke up this morning and I am feeling way better. I was looking at one of my tummy rolls (dont laugh we all do it) and it looked smaller to me, so i decided that I was going to measure just to kill my curosity and yes I measure each roll I have on my tummy which is only 2 (again dont laugh), and it was down a inch. I took my measurements on Tuesday of this week, so 2 days later I am down a inch. Now talk about motivation to not cheat. So I think my realization of cheating is dumb has hit me square in the face. Now if I could just get the lazyiness out of my but and hit the gym after work, I would be good to go. How is everyone else doing? -Sandra

Ok this is kinda off the subject, BUT I am watching the news and they busted some guy who was running a website for childmolestation on demand and charging people for it. How sick can people be? I was molested by two different people when I was a child and this just outrages me. Oh how I would love to find the guys who did it to me and face them today and ladys always be careful with your children cause it is always someone that you know, it was that way in my case and usually is in most others. Sorry for a non diet topic. -Sandra

Susan: Dang, compared to your DH I'm a TRUE slug I don't do nearly as much as that!!! If he's not complaining you shouldn't either

Sue: Sorry to hear DH is still in the doghouse. Hope he shapes up soon!

Jackie: I get the same way (where there are days nothing satisfies). Yup, as long as it's LC then it's all ok. Keep up the great work

Sandra: Glad to hear you're feeling better

Well, I didn't do so well last night. Had corned beef and cabbage which wouldn't have been SOOO bad...but then I had a couple spoon fulls of irish stew (potatoes & gravy)....and the HUGE carrots that came with...and the BUNS to sop up the gravy....and of course the cabbage salad (sugar laden I'm sure)....then had a collission with GS cookies. Last night my lips felt like someone sucked the moisture out of them and today I'm tired as heck. Back to the drawing board!!

Morning :

Would you believe that I still have stayed on program despite being sick? Shesh, Brenda you could have come over and shared those darn GS cookies! They would have been a welcomed site.. LOL I did get on the scale this moning, and it moved back down to 183 (from 185 which is what I went up to and then stalled) so i'm happy with that. I wish I had the energy to sit and chat with you all, but i'm gonna go veg on the couch with my coffee, and a book I just got from Amazon.. Yeah, it's about Philadelphia History - pretrip reading.. <grins>

Thanks for all the 'get well' wishes guys. Have I told you all lately, you're the ones that keep me going??

to each and every one of you. I'll post later if I feel like it.

Good Morning

Man o Man....Im back from my carb binge Im reinducting (again) and heading back to the gym, on Monday. I cant do gym, and induction all at once. I'll get the hangover and withdrawals overwith, and then hit the gym.

On the plus side....my jeans still fit. Not comfortably mind you, but they still fit!

I havent been reading much here the last 2 weeks, just bits and blurbs.

Sandra~ I measure the rolls too!!

Brenda~

Susan~ I think anyone speaking out about our own person deserves to be put in their place. What business is it of theirs anyway! Good for you!

Falon~ great job staying op while being sick....Im glad your getting better.

Sue~ I hope dh makes up for what he's done.

We've been doing a bit of work around the house....at the moment we have a huge hole in the dining room ceiling. Did you know, that when you poke holes in a 100yr old house....it stinks!!!!!!!!! eeww!! I couldnt believe the stuff that was pulled out of that spot...no wonder it was falling down!! Got our new garage door up, and it looks wonderful. But now I have to paint the garage the door makes the garage look old and dingy.

Well, time for more water....have a great day ladies.

Falon: WTG on staying OP while sick. I don't think I could do that. It's AWESOME!! And sorry..if you've been staying OP then you didn't need GS cookies

Robin: Glad the jeans still fit. Before you know it you'll be back to where you were before this last carb-fest. You always have such self control when it comes to exercise!!

Well, was going to continue on the fat fast but decided to continue on with induction instead. I weighed myself (expected the worst) after my shower (this was AFTER breakfast of 2 eggs and a bunch of water!) and it was still what it was yesterday....so I'm ok with it Just realized that doing the fat fast for 5 days was one thing but I should have moved on instead of trying to do it again. Silly me

remember larry the gutter guy the other day? Today we had billy bob thorton, from sling blade. It was amazing how much he sounded JUST like him!!!! He even grunted like him!!! I pointed it out to dh after he left, and dh said "THAT'S who he sounded like, I couldnt figure it out!" My oven still isnt fixed....thats what the guy was doing here. I have one of those ovens that turns on most of the time, but never when you're in a hurry to cook something, or in the middle of cooking something important So, anyway, they couldnt fix it ...because of course the oven is working fine now!! He gave us a few things to try next time it doesnt want to work. If its one of 2 things, I'll get a new stove!!

Well, thats it for now....Ive cleaned up a bit of the mess the hole in the ceiling made. That should be all fixed up tonight. Then I'll have fine dust all over everything oh well.

I think dd and I are off to the zoo this afternoon....have a good one.
