Morning Deb. Miss you, but I know you're so busy.

Take good care of yourself, friend.

Determinedtolose · 08-08-2008, 12:53 PM

Yes, what Sue said!!! Missing you Chica!!

Determinedtolose · 08-12-2008, 01:57 PM

Yoohoooooo! Just checking up on you! Miss ya Sweetie!

Low Carb Mommy · 08-12-2008, 02:12 PM

See, this is why I just love reading your journal. Just when I think my life is crazy I see that yours is even crazier! Wow, you have been through it lately!

Thank goodness your vacation went well.

Ah, don't you want to tell us all your sinful indulgences?

Don't worry about it! You are one of the most disciplined ladies I know. You'll be back to being strict and posting those menus in no time. Besides we all need a vacation from LC (please don't tell anyone I said this or I'll be banned!).

Hope things have been looking up for you! I've missed you!!

Livywilltim-mom · 08-15-2008, 07:17 AM

Dear, Sweet Deb...couldn't stand having your journal on the 2nd page.

Plus, I miss you my friend.

Love you

Determinedtolose · 08-15-2008, 09:19 AM

Helllooo! Hope your doing well! I have a feeling your going say you've lost another 5 lbs!!

Yes, I agree, I don't like you journal on page 2 either!!

Determinedtolose · 08-15-2008, 06:18 PM

Hi Deb! Wherefore art thou???? Have a great weekend if you are able!!

Determinedtolose · 08-18-2008, 05:17 AM

Hi Deb!
Hope everything is going well for you! Talk to you soon!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-18-2008, 07:37 AM

Deb! Did you forget about us??

Debralynn · 08-20-2008, 03:48 PM

I swear I didn't forget about anyone! Life has been incredibly busy, between DS#1 starting Kindergarten, turning 5 yesterday, work, all of us getting sick, eating like a maniac, gaining 6 lbs., a TOM that won't quit, and a bit of depression.

Today is my birthday. Starting tomorrow, I am back on induction. Last year on my birthday I was 189, so I am certainly better off than I was then, and need to stop the downward spiral before it gets out of control.

Marking my spot. I am back in the game. No excuses.

This year I WILL BE THIN, I WILL GET ORGANIZED, I WILL BE THE BEST MOTHER AND WIFE I CAN BE.

Love you all, and will try to BBL to visit you. I have to work all night tonight and then spend time in DS's class tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to post again until tomorrow evening.

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-20-2008, 04:05 PM

Welcome back!!!

Happy Birthday! Good to hear from you....six pound gain is not bad, you can get that off in a few days.

Hi Deb!!! Gosh it's so good to see you!!
Whoohooo, are Girl is back!!!!

I know you're going to do all you set your mind to and you will lose those 6lbs and be all that you said!!!!

seb · 08-20-2008, 05:41 PM

Just a bump in the road for you. What a crazy schedule you have. I can imagine that it's hard to be prepared with all that you do.

We're here for you, friend. And, we sure missed you.

Low Carb Mommy · 08-21-2008, 09:43 AM

I missed your birthday!

Now I will never forget it because it's two days after mine. Funny thing...my mom's is the 16th....mine the 18th and yours the 20th!

Hope you are starting to feel better. I know for me, getting off plan makes me really pay not only physically but emotionally

. It's not until I get the sugar out of my system that I start feeling like myself again.

It's good to remember how far you have come. You'll be back losing in no time. I am sure that the majority of the weight is water. It's the quickest thing to get off!

Take care of yourself! Us busy moms sometimes forget to do that!

Debralynn · 08-21-2008, 12:55 PM

Hi everyone! I only have a sec before we are out the door to DS's school.

I ate everything in sight last night. Everyone came by my post in the ER with birthday goodies, and I couldn't resist. I probably would have eaten my hand if I hadn't been paying attention.

Today is my new beginning! Started off really well. I will have a great, on plan day! Ketosis - here I come!

Thanks for all the sweet wishes! I will visit you all this afternoon when I get back!

xoxo

Determinedtolose · 08-21-2008, 12:55 PM

Hey Gorgeous! Good to see you here!! I hope you're having a wonderful day. You're going get those lbs off!! Don't you worry, we're all here for you!!!
I am 4lbs away from onederland, what do you think abou that!

I'm going all the way!!! So will you!!! Whoohoo!!

Livywilltim-mom · 08-21-2008, 02:47 PM

Sweet Deb!!

So sorry I missed your special day yesterday! Well, we are all really groovin' now

I only have a minute, so here is a quick hug!

I LOVE when people bring me bday treats! It is not like I can turn them down...thats rude.

So I just enjoy them all, then get back on plan.

seb · 08-22-2008, 08:33 AM

What thoughtful people that you work with, even if they are bringing you junk, they are thinking about you.

I hope you had a great on plan day yesterday. Take it one day at a time, dear friend.

Debralynn · 08-22-2008, 12:50 PM

I made it through yesterday. Not perfect eating, but much better. I was looking back on my menus from last year this time when I was really losing quickly. I was using my lc tortillas in moderation, as well as a few other lc bad things. They really helped me keep from cheating, so I am going to use them again this time around. We'll see how things progress from here.

THURSDAY'S MENU

Breakfast: 1 small lc whole graing tortilla w/turkey, muenster, mayo & lettuce (5)
water/supplements

Lunch: carb control yogurt (3)
Atkins bar (3)
crystal light

Snack: nuts (8)
water

Dinner: pork loin roast w/mesquite dry seasoning (0)
steamed broccoli (3)
1 cup raw spinach w/1 T Ken's caeser dressing (2)
diet coke

TOTAL CARBS: 24
WATER: ok
EXCERCISE: 1/2 hr walk

KUDOS TO ME

: NOT eating the wonderful cupcakes leftover from DS birthday party at school. (That buttercream frosting looks amazing!!!!)

I am off to a good start today. The test will be how I do at work tonight, and tomorrow is DS#1's birthday party is tomorrow at a pizza place

. Wish me luck! The combination of no sleep tonight, and tending to 30 guests at a party tomorrow with loads of temptation around could be DISASTEROUS!

Got to run. Have to take DS to school, and get all of the gifts wrapped and goodie bags made before I go to work tonight at 7!

BBL if I have a sec!

4 lbs! You can do it! I know you can!

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-22-2008, 12:57 PM

Hey!!

Ya know.....I just recently started using those LC tortillas and I am happy w/ them. Like you said, it gives me more varied options for low carb, I have also been using the low carb bread at the store (I cannot make oopsies to save my life!!) I went from 197 (ugh) to 188 using those, so I am all for it.

Your wrap w/ turkey and muenster sounds sooo good!

Determinedtolose · 08-22-2008, 02:35 PM

Hi Deb!
Doing good!!!
I wanted to mention that if you go out for pizza get you a salad and then take some of the pizza toppings and throw them on top of your salad and eat it like that. That's what I do, it's good!!

Determinedtolose · 09-01-2008, 05:33 PM

Hi Deb! Can't have you hear all alone!
Hope you're doing well and had the day off today.
Take care and hope to hear from you sson!!

Love ya!
