Thread: CINWIN's Journal

cin! where ARE you??? i want to know how you are doing.. back on track?

Hi stephen and rob it true what you guys said so i printed it out to hang in my bathroom at home - i'm on a roller coaster ride :fork: (in the food dept) not sure how i got here but sooner or later (hopefully sooner) i must get off the ride....i would like to pick today but its too late - tomorrow is bad - Monday is what i am shooting for. i just read back what ii typed -what a bunch of lousy excuses...my birthday was the problem to begin with - i saw it coming - tried to prepare and tripped in the cake! MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY

Hi kim - thanks for checking in while your on vacation - you see where i am don cha? And i was doing well there - brain in the right mode and all.....it will return....i must get back on track -

i will recheck in here monday - no computer at home and i'm off work for the weekend -


see ya monday

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww... at LEAST you are checkin in... not going so far away that you cant HEAR us..*wink*..

see ya monday girl... monday is good...

OK MONDAY is HERE AND NOW - its 930 am and i am CHECKING IN AS PLANNED!
The BAD FOOD is GONE from the house (because i ATE it )....
I re-started INDUCTION this morning - 2 eggs & 3 bacon, 2 coffee w/ splenda & cream.
I am NOT weighing myself until friday - i don't care what the scale says (yeah I do care but i don't want to SEE it!!) - its not pretty anyway! (and i know its UP!)


I have already been to the atkins website to get copies of induction acceptable foods, ets. i also have my carb counter at home on my couch - available to me.

i want to be positive - thought about the 100 day cheat free - instead signed onto 1 week challenge and inching down to 199....

Work is slow - only working 4 hr day - 20 hrs week - i should find time to exercise daily.....

See ya later - must get work done! if i don't sign on before work is over today - i will DEFINATELY sign on again Tuesday morning to be accountable to myself - thats the goal..

good job cyn... hang in there.... back on track.. back on track...;-)

Cindy - Good Luck Kid!!! I know you can do this! Remember it doesn't have to be perfect to have a day you consider a success.

HI Kim & Rob - thanks for the support and checking in on me - i really really appreciate it. I lurked here yesterday but didn't write in the journal - work was pretty busy -
today (wed) is day 3 of induction - i'm a bit tired but eating on plan - TOM is here - so that effects the weight also - still haven't stood on the scale - friday is the day for that.
Monday night on the way to WNBA game ate at Norms restaurant - they have a LC menu - with carb counts and all - had a WONDERFUL 3-egg omelette w/ veg and a side of Broccoli - and 2 glasses of water! Tues eggs, bacon, dinner was El Pollo Loco - chicken w/ side of salad. Today i made coleslaw w/ fresh bacon bits - ate all of it when i got to work(at noon) - now i''m guzzling water water water!
DP is helping me stay on track "are you sure you can eat that on induction?" I like the reminders to stay on track during meals - it helps. Someday she might join LC - talked about it the other night - she isn't sure she can go w/o pasta and bread.....which reminds me my DD had a spaghetti dinner at her school last week (when i was BAD)...i went and dummy me had a plate of spag for the first time in over 2 1/2 years - guaranteed won't do that again --went into carb coma for over 4 hrs when got home and a woke at 2 in morning on couch....felt like cr*p the next day! Even DP was complaining about stomach after eating - bloating, gas, carb coma - it hit us both! Eating spag isn't worth all that discomfort. (maybe this is why its been easier to restart?)

i guess this must be my rant today!

see ya later

oh man.... you just made the light go on in my head... i HAVENT been drinking enough water..
i have QUADRUPLED my devil coffee intake... i STILL am drinking green tea... but with all that coffee i havent gotten NEAR as much water in..

going to make a concerted effort to up the H2O today... thanks for givin me the mental nudge..

good job on getting on track after the carbfest... it aint easy...;-)

Tomorrow morning is the BiG weigh in - somehow i feel it won't be under 210. with TOM and a bad week last - maybe i'll be surprise - i just don't know. i'm sticking to plan -but haven't had much water today - that is DOOM.

will check in fri am - bye

akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk - its up - ok i blame it on TOM - when thats over i will re-weigh. BTW it was 212.4 - akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ( to sound of cat with hairball!)

been on a coleslaw kick - 2 cups at a time - for lunch made w/ bacon bits and splenda and mayo and rice vinegar(no sugar)...its been satisfying and crunchy (i don't let it sit long after i make it)

yesterday i was BAD on liquids - today will be better.

see ya

Darn, TOM.

I love coleslaw. I have been meaning to make it every time someone here mentions it. I had made some low carb coleslaw for an office party one day when they had ordered out.

It's hard to get the water in. My new thing, every time I check in to LCE.com I drink a glass of water. As I check in often at work it will have me floating by the end of the day. This weekend I will be trying hard to get my at home water intake up. Like every half hour drinking 8 ounces (I try for 160 ounces a day). I'm not a big sipper so find if I chug a glass then sip a little then chug a glass it works better for me.

Noel sooooooo happy you came by my journal - i have been slowly readng others - there are soooo many - once in a while i lurk around in yours - you are doing well on this LC journey - sometimes its so hard to stay on track - i battle almost daily, sometimes i lose the same 5-10 lbs over and over again.
OMG 160 oz a day? i am waaaaaaaaaay behind - can hardly chug down 1/2 gallon (64oz) but i do - then i drink other stuff (1 can diet soda, devil coffee, ice tea,etc) i know i'm suppose to drink MORE water but its killing me!

well , i weighed in this morning
the GOOD news is there have been no cheats
the BAD news is the scale was 211.
the GOOD news is that my birthday is over and done with
the BAD news is that i sabatoged myself and now weigh more
the GOOD news is that I'M BACK ON TRACK
the GOOD news is i've been good for 7 days today

i'm glad i didn't weigh last week -

211 must be true
been good since the 20th - i'm sure my weight was higher then 211 after TOM and birthday extravaganza...but i didn't weigh - didn't want to totallly ruin my brainwaves.
i think i'm eating too much salads (1 every day buts its 4-5 cups) -
time is the answer - i have plenty of that.
i know i'm a bit discouraged - lost a lot, then very slkowly added some back because of bad choices - a taste here and a taste their - kept telling myself "how good is this WOE if when you endulge 1 day, you gain a bit back"...i've always had a weight problem - since i was 6 - thats always......
i don't want to be fat -i don't want to be skinny i want to weigh 160-170 - thats a good weight for me - size 35 waist.......
haven't been hungry so not eating properly - yeah i know thats wrong and it doesn't help - that large salad is very crunchy an satisfying and if i eat it at 4-5p i'm good for the rest of the night - other then a large ices tea later in the evening. brunch was bacon and ham roll-ups w/ cheese. that must last until 5 p -have towork until 4 today.

DD out of school today last day of 5th grade - i'm so proud of her - excellent report card

what a rant haven;t felt well - cold or allergies - can't really tell - but this is day 5 of this and i'm tired of feeling under the weather.
my mood is soso

I think that sometimes, but I know it's water and the real weight is coming off as well. I haven't weighed myself for two weeks because I am in denial...denying that I cheated (which I did) then denying that I even WANT to lose the weight.

I hear you about not fat/not skinny but just right.

Try not to get too discouraged. (as I'm writing this I'm telling myself as well) You're back on track so I bet the weight will be coming off as it should be soon enough.

Focus on the good things like daughter getting done with school with her excellent report card.
