I got to take my morning walk while it was still snowing and mine were the first steps on the pristine white sidewalk. I know snow is "Blech" to many, but we don't get it back home so it is a big deal to this lil ole southern girl!

Change over to freezing rain tonight. Not so good.

I think we may actually be leaving NJ in the next day or two. I'm ready. 7 days in this little burg is enough!

YES!! here's to a NEW US ~ ALL of US!! we are on our way, babies!!

Montana, my second Golden, lived 12 1/2 years and died of cancer. Both passings broke my heart.

Hang in there.... know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you and your family can find come comfort in this short poem:

"Rainbow Bridge"

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "

Morning all! I did a lot of soul searching last night and on the way to work this morning. I decided that my goal for February was not to lose weight but to learn.

1. Learn to do the plan right
2. Learn who I am
3. Learn what I want from this plan and from myself
4. Learn how to get there and stay there.

I know I can do it. I just have to find myself right now. Not sure what that is going to take. I will check in later.[/COLOR]

Jennifer I love your new avi, your DGB was cute but was not who you are. I am thinking maybe I will change mine monthly as the weight goes down seems like you should be able to tell in the face. I like your attitude now, as HB said this is about YOU and your health.

I your DH! There you go...your support is at home too!



OK, so all of the big bosses are out of the office...so it's really quiet. I'm going back and forth about working from home today. I'd love just stay in my jammies and not have to move! I'll have to check my work calendar first...

Food-wise - DD made spaghetti and meatballs last night for dinner (I had the meatballs and sauce)...it was delicious, she did a great job! She's been interested in cooking and baking more lately because she says "I need to learn how to do this stuff before I move to the dorm/apartments at college" - and HEY, who am I to say no? I LOVE it when folks cook for me! As long as it's on plan stuff!

Other than that, I've got to get busy and make my breakfast and lunch...but, if I work from home, I don't have to...hummmm, another advantage of working from home *thinking, thinking*

Studying is going well...I've been taking a practice exam after each chapter I read to make sure I'm "getting the methodology" and I've been getting scores in the mid 80%. So, that's good. I'm happy and would be thrilled with a score like that!

Exercise-wise - I'll be doing cardio today. If the weather holds, it'll be an outside hike up Mt Peak...that's a good one! If it doesn't hold...then most likely I'll be on the treadmill.

Oh and speaking of the treadmill, it lives...the dang thing hasn't died on me for weeks (dang). So, I my visions of a new TM are in my distant future instead of near!!



Question of the Day ~
Do you feel you over or under committed to your exercise routine? What are you thinking about doing for February?

QOD! I commited to more exercise than I actually did. That is not good. My goal for February is to do something everyday.

[COLOR="Blue"]Ok this is me "LEARNING". How accurate are the carb counts on the low carb friends sight. Are they net carbs or not?

What about eggs? carbs or not!!![/COLOR]

Hummm, that's a tough one because there can always be typos.

If I have a recipe, I enter it myself and validate the "counts". If it's a store bought item, I use the information on the package. So, to answer your question...it's up to you, but it's safer to at least verify the information.

About the eggs, I'm getting .39 grams for a large egg, on the carton is says <1 gram and on another site I visit shows .60 grams.

The rule of thumb that most use is to count as 1 gram if it's questionable. But, honestly I don't know why they're all a little different. Maybe the gram count of the actual egg is slightly different.

[gynx8467]

Thanks Shelly!

Jenn - do you have a Fitday account. That's a great way to figure out your stats/macros.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]WOW Jen!! This is phenomenal!!
You had me in (happy) tears this morning!
You ARE gonna do this; and it's gonna be EASY.
Because when you do Dr A's plan correctly,
You're gonna LOVE what you're eating AND
the weight is gonna melt off you!!
HOW COOL IS THAT ??

It's just gonna take YOU focusing on YOU -- that's it.
although it can be tough sometimes; it's so very necessary.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]YES YOU ARE !!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL & SYMBOLIC AVI ~ I LOVE IT !!

OMG I'm in love with your DH!!
What a wonderful & supportive man!!
So there you go!
You have the support of your loving DH
(other primary provider & home owner)
to only buy LC foods to keep in the house!
YOUR CHOICE.

Oh Jen, I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU !!!!!



and hey, what's good for you is good for them!
junk food is no good for them anyway.

YOU call the shots now; for you & your family (food-wise).
So other than the random tater you can shop LC!!

Which, as you realize:
LC means to mostly SHOP the PERIMETER OF THE STORE

Your basket should be filled with fresh veggies & quality meats.
That's it! Easy, huh?

For at least the first 2-weeks, make sure you have 3 dozen eggs in the fridge at all times! With your family, maybe 5 dozen! ALWAYS have a dozen eggs hardboiled & ready to grab as a snack. A HB egg + an ounce of cheese + an ounce or 2 of lunch meat -- has saved me a zillion times! [/COLOR]

[hummingbird11]

OK ~ this is me "TEACHING" (so listen up!)

Yes, Eggs have "trace carbs" (what does the egg carton say??)

I count 1 Carb for each egg BUT you can count .5 Carb for each Large Egg.

(Extra Large Eggs have more cal/fat/protein/carb per egg)

NOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION:

Legally, all food manufacturers ONLY have to list Carbs if there's at least 1 Carb in a Serving.

Soooo, if there's .25 or .5 or .75 or even .99 Carb in a Serving --
they do NOT have to list it on the food label ~ capiche??

THAT is why you hear "talk" around here of "hidden carbs"
and THAT is why you are to NEVER NEVER NEVER Trust
any Food Label (except meat & ACV) that states 0 Carb.

NOT salad dressing, not HWC, not ANYTHING.

Because it ALL has (Trace) Carbs that you MUST incorporate in your daily counts ESP during the first 2 weeks; later, you can get a little more lax about it + you'll have the Carb Counts of most things you eat (regularly) memorized!!

You can Google "hiden carb calculator" and run the macros (cal/fat/protein) thru there AND run by us (too) 'cause sometimes even those calculators can be "off". Frustrating, I KNOW!! I'll sometimes compare what it says on the label with what it says at Calorie King; Daily Plate; FitDay ~ and then I go with my gut!

This is why I don't use Fit Day. This is why I do my macros manually in my Excel Spreadsheet.

I look at the Food Label of EVERY SINGLE ITEM that I place in my mouth. I have a digital food scale and I weigh almost every morsel that I place in my mouth. I've been doing this for approx 6 months (total) and I can tell you that I have learned a LOT. Yeah, it was a pain in the arse at first -- but now it's a habit. I know what to buy (and what not to buy) at the store because I've learned what's IN everything we like + I've learned what a friggin portion size looks like (I had no idea before) -- seriously!

Often times, I will just flip the package over, to see what a "portion size" is, measure/weigh that out -- and that's what I eat. Sometimes I double it -- but that's how I do it. And man oh man -- what a learning experience for a gal that didn't even know what a "Carb" WAS last year!!

You also have to learn to read labels, sometimes you think you are getting one serving of something and it is really 2 servings in the package.
I was listening to Oprah yesterday they were doing this thing eat this or this which is better for us, they actually said regular bacon is better than turkey bacon because the turkey bacon has more sodium in it, what is your take on that one HB? I have turkey and regular yes the sodium is higher in it.

YES!! watch the portion size. AMAZING what they "think" is a portion!!
The other day, we had these "hot links" --there were medium-sized links...
GUESS WHAT a serving was?? HALF a link!! 8 servings instead of 4 !!!!!
I ate 2 links so I had to count 4 friggin servings!! (no dessert for me )

Yeah, I heard that too. (at the CTFLC thread yesterday).
I don't know what to think (yet)

I have turkey, beef, pork bacon in my fridge & wanna compare.

BUT how does one say which is "better"??

I mean, it depends on one's WOE.

Higher Fat = Higher Calories

So I dunno??

Anything in the Main Lobby about it yet ??

Sooooooooo ?? Where R U 2-Day??

[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Yes he is quite wonderful!!! He doesn't say much but when he does it usually is good.

I do buy a lot of eggs.

Ok since I haven't officially started Induction yet I decided to try a low carb smoothie from this place in town. I don't usually do protein drinks but everybody was getting one and they were half off for employees at the hospital. I checked out the nutritional information well. It had 7 carbs and 8 g fiber. Tell me is that good or not. If you do Atkins figures you subtract fiber from carbs right.[/COLOR]

Yes on the serving sizes and portions...one issue I've seen so many times with Induction is people will overeat the protein and not pay attention to what their body is telling them...no matter what plan you're doing ~ eat slowly, eat a much smaller portion to start = then if you're hungry later eat more. Don't just sit down to a 10 oz steak and gobble it down because it's 0 carbs!

The best part of Atkins (LC) is to use the benefit of ketosis and lessened appetite while you work on the bad habits and overeating behavior!

So?! *in my best mom voice* if they all jumped off a bridge would you jump too?

But about the carbs/fiber ... I wonder if they already deducted the fiber and the 7 grams of carbs are the net carbs. You should have asked...oh and BE ASSERTIVE when eating out...you're paying for it, get it prepared the way you want it! Geez, HB is rubbing off on me !!

[COLOR="Blue"]I did check and they had not subtracted the fiber yet. You can add fiber which is what I did. Besides I can't afford that much. Thanks mom. [/COLOR]

[hummingbird11]

that's my kinda man!!
and how my man operates, too

I'm so glad you have that kind of support from DH;
Look around this Forum; so many poor women don't!

But hey, we only "get" what we "demand" for ourselves...right?

Like Dear Abby says:
Ya can't be a doormat unless ya lie down and be one!

And WE DESERVE to be able to take care of ourselves;
And WE DESERVE the respect & support of our families.
Yes, we DO! (esp if they are living under our roof, no?)

YES!

Total Carbs - Fiber = Net Carbs

and THAT's excatly how ya do it on Atkins!

7g Total Carbs - 8g Fiber = -1g Net Carbs

that seems pretty darn cool to me!
but WATCH the sugars in that kinda stuff.
real sugar & artificial sugar (AS)
as those kinds of Carbs aren't so great for us.
