Congrats Pati on the loss!!

I agree Shari!! we play around with so many things, hoping to have whatever we want and still lose weight...( well within reason ) when we honestly know our bodies love low carb best... ( or why would we be on a LOW CARB BOARD?)...

Wishing you ALL THE BEST!!!! I know you will do well.

I agree that my kids will be fine.. my DD called me this morning and told me how lucky she was to find this place and such wonderful girls to live with temporarily.. Apparently they are going to show her the town this week and invite her to meet people she needs to know in her profession... she is EXCITED!!

Which of course makes ME excited...

Ok, my oldest DD made it safely to NYC and is in her new apt. She said her room is the size of our laundry room, but hey, It's NY!!!!

Good luck DD I am thinking of you!....She is on an adventure of a lifetime for her, so it will be all good!...

My 18 year old moved out with friends and all I have left is my 16 year old, but she has been over at the apt all weekend. PEACE AND QUIET AND A CLEAN HOUSE!!!!

We even made my 18 year olds room into an exercise room on the main level so no more excuses about not getting to the gym...

So now, I am going to buckle down and get serious about Atkins way of eating, and getting to my goal. I will be 55 in Sept and WOW.. I can get the senior discount.. ACK!!!!!!

Time is NOW for this to happen....

So hope all of you are having a wonderful day so far, and had a great weekend yourselves!... back at lunch!

Happy Monday, Deb!!

Sounds like you had a great relaxing weekend. WOW - all the kids are almost gone, soon it will be just you and your sweet pie :blush:.

I hear ya on getting serious with Atkins and Exercise. You can do it and 55 is still young girl

.

Enjoy your day,

.

obraxton · 08-10-2011, 08:42 AM

Good morning!

Deb294evr · 08-10-2011, 06:34 PM

Evening LADIES!!! Sorry I was MIA today, just so very busy. I promise to be more accountable tomorrow. Everything is good, working out, eating ok, but being busy is keeping me from eating REAL WHOLE FOODS that I actually cook

I have been doing too much convenience stuff. That has to stop for ME, it just isn't real healthy and that is what I am going for right now.

Anyhooo.... Take care everyone and have a wonderful night!

Deb294evr · 08-11-2011, 05:48 AM

Ok, had a major workout this morning.. felt wonderful! I have been tracking my BP since it used to be so high.. and now it is 103/68 where before it was 140/95 most of the time, with some times even higher.. I was threatened with BP meds, and I don't want to take any meds. So far so good!

Yesterday I ate such a small amt, but was perfectly satisfied... This morning I decided to weigh.. 179!!!!!! FINALLY OUT OF THE 80s!!!!!!! so excited!!

So my love/hate thing with the scale really is not healthy...

I will try to avoid it for a few days and go about my business. See if I can do it...

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day!!!...

Thank you Meek!! I am just thrilled today, and don't want to eat much.. for fear of seeing 80 again.

Just kidding, I dont take it that far but honestly I just FEEL BETTER today. Something about progress that makes me feel like I can really do this.

Deb294evr · 08-12-2011, 11:24 AM

Good Afternoon Shari and Meek and all my friends who read... Today is such a busy Friday, TGIF!!!! I will be back later to update, just wanted to say I am alive and doing fine!.. hope all of you are having a much much better day... than I ...

shari · 08-15-2011, 04:02 AM

Morning Deb, hope you had a relaxing weekend especially after Friday.

Deb294evr · 08-15-2011, 05:12 AM

Good Morning Shari! Yep back to the old grind, I did pretty much nothing over the weekend. It felt wonderful!

I did have some tequila on Sat Night, was afraid to weigh in yesterday, and didn't remember today, so no idea what the scale says.

I have kept up my workouts though, it feels wonderful to do that at least. Well the kiddos have been out for a week, and I do miss them. MY OWN, kids that is, not the extras that were always there..

It feels good to leave for work and know when I get home my house will look the same... YEAH!!...

The kids have been over to the house every day since they left though, so it is not like I don't see them.

My NYC daughter has called me every day and is keeping me up on her life.. so it is like she has not left yet. So far so good, she is looking for a job this week. School starts for her the first week of Sept.

SOOOOOOOOO .. that is the update! Hope all of you are doing well!... I will get around to the journals as soon as I can! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Meek75 · 08-16-2011, 11:01 AM

Hey Deb. Glad you had a relaxing weekend. I see your stats, Ms. Skinny Minnie .
