Hi everyone following CAD/CALP! Just checking on you guys to see how you're doing?

Ouis? Debby? Terrytoons?

I'm hanging in there Haven't felt well this week, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. Today at our office party I ate something that didn't agree with me and my stomach has been off all afternoon. Talk about being a party pooper! So afraid to get sick, I have too much to do!

Check in and let me know how you guys are!
Karen

Karen,

Thanks for checking in. Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you get feeling better very soon!

I haven't been doing very well at all. Actually, after I said I was back... I really wasn't. Today has been my first true day back on plan. I know the holidays will be difficult, so just doing the best I can right now. Life is very stressful right now.

Will be starting a journal... mostly to be a food journal to hold myself accountable. Feel free to check it out.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I think my hormones are wacky, so my weight has been creeping up instead of going down. I am trying to figure out what I need to do about it.

Things will be better when certain tempations aren't at home anymore.

I didn't eat any of the sweets at work the last two days, that's good!

I think I am allergic to brazil nuts. I ate 3 of them even though I shouldn't have and I suffered with the same symptoms as when I eat eggs. It lasted for about 4 hours then went away. So....no brazil nuts for me!

This time of year is so difficult. You can have the willpower of steel and all the treats just keep calling your name. We had about every cookie imaginable here behind my desk yesterday at our party. I'm going to make a couple LC treats, at least I won't be eating pure sugar.

Ilse - I hope you can figure out what to do about your situation. January will be a fresh start for everyone I imagine.

I was a bit surprised this morning at my weigh in because from last weeks weight I am up 1/2 lb, but, last weeks average compared to this weeks average is 1.32 pound loss. That puzzles me. I hope I'm doing the averaging correctly.

I haven't eaten properly this week. I've had a few days where I couldn't eat the pre-meal salad because I had a sore throat and I just wanted soft food, so my balancing hasn't been right. That's the hard part about any diet, if you're not feeling well you can't eat properly.

Good Luck to you all, enjoy your holidays as I won't be checking in for 2 weeks (I don't have a computer at home and will be on vacation from work).

"Talk" to you in the new year!

I am trying to be much more faithful about not having bad snacks and too much sodium. It seems to be helping, as I was 234 on Thursday and am 229.5 today. I'm sure this is all a loss from a bloat, but I'm glad to see it nevertheless.

We went to see LOR on Saturday morning. I think my DH wanted to buy popcorn, but I said no to it (yeah).

I am doing really really well--just back from a week in Vegas over the holidays and didn't gain a pound--didn't lose one either, but the way I was eating--let us just say that my RM's were way unbalanced!!!!!

this is the deal for me--if you do it the right way--do away with all the artifical sweeteners, drink plenty of water, eat 2 CM's and 1 RM and keep that RM to 60 minutes, for me--it is doing the trick--I am really happy with it!

good luck to all

I went up a lot after the weekend. I think it's from movie theater popcorn for two days in a row. I feel like I have been pretty ok otherwise.

Anyone else?

Ouis, I'm glad you are doing so well. Good for you!

Me, on the other hand... well, I've been off-plan. Went up a few pounds in the beginning, but have been holding steady. My drop-dead date for getting back on-plan is Jan. 4th.

Ilse, I gave in to microwave popcorn at home last night. My DH made it, and it just smelled so good... so I know what you mean. Hang in there!
