Occasionally I will get a pepsi if I go out to eat, but at home it is all caffine free.<BR/><BR/>Polly & Steve- I may have not worded that well. I meant they kicked off the tour, menaing started the tour. On the tour there is no judging, it is just a few of the favorite dance numbers being preformed by several of the dancers for all the previous years.<BR/>March 9th and we are back in business!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Derek- Apple Dumplings. Sounds serious. As in serious defeat. But tell her that tomorrow is a new day. Dont write her off yet! Good luck to both of you. It's good because you can hold eachother accountable. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Jennifer, I dont beleive you for a moment. You strike me as a very driven woman. I know you can do it too. And I love your long comment!~<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you Valarie for your forgiveness. Look, there are alot of us. I think we do need to hold eachother accountable. All of us.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Trickie Nickie- No carbs and sugar...someone wants a death wish. That'd be hard. You are a supportive friend to do that with yours. I should have picked sugar. I think for some reason that would be easier for me. I dont have much of a sweet tooth. Maybe next year.... Good luck TN.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you Georgie!<BR/><BR/>Glitter & Bliss- Good luck to you. Let me know how you fair. I posted a chicken recipe on my other blog, Plates and Places.<BR/><BR/>Bama Belle- I am so happy for you and little Orren, first off!

No carbs is such a good goal...maybe I'll have to do it after no sugar! I guess that means then I get no carbs AND no sugar. Hmmm.

I call it ADTKINS! Of course I eat meat along with the non carb veggies.<BR/><BR/>And I wait for my body to go into kitosis like a good little dieter, and then I wait for dumping syndrome (which can be almost violent). I lose the 4 to 6 pounds almost IMMEDIATELY that first week.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>And then I binge like a crazy woman on carbs and gain it all back in a day.<BR/><BR/>I think it would be a good thing to do Adkins in moderation sometimes as I eat healthier. I just can't stick to ANYTHING for any real length of time.<BR/><BR/>(is this not the LOOOOONGEST comment already???)<BR/><BR/>You stick to you guns Leigh and do something healthy for you! And emotionally blackmail them if you have to - "If you really loved me you wouldn't eat that in front of me".<BR/><BR/>Glad you had fun with your friends!!jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547226679311827501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-5734082528007157072009-01-06T10:49:00.000-06:002009-01-06T10:49:00.000-06:00We also began "low-carbing" again yesterday.

So, no traditional carbs for me. I eat lots of broccoli! <BR/><BR/>I think it's good to change things up a bit and see how it makes you feel.

Then I started teaching full time, and couldn't plan/cook for myself any more, and then it just became too difficult to limit the carbs as much.<BR/><BR/>Now, I do try a bit for the moderation thing - - - - and have accepted a rounder look as being normal for me.<BR/><BR/>But the low carb thing will take the pounds off - - - good luck!!!Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.com
