Last one to post........... Part 16

Yes, Atkins puts a lot of emphasis on meat and proteins and red meat is fine, which is against most of what doctors say these days. My husband explained it to me once because I just couldn't comprehend why it would work...Carbs are the first thing that your body works off, then the protein stuff. If you eliminate the carbs from your diet then whenever you exercise or you do anything to burn off the food you've eaten it's going to start burning off those proteins first if you've skipped the carbs. Both Atkins and South Beach are about eliminating the carbs so that your body will burn off the other foods first. And carbs are what make you hungry, too.

You do have to wonder about Atkins, though. He said that all that red meat was fine for you and all the dairy products, all the high fatty foods were great...but the man died from a heart attack??

Yeah that does make you wonder. Well I think I am going to look over South Beach again and start working on my Mom.
I want her to live a long time. And she has already had open heart surgery so she really needs to take care of herself.

Hey Kayla ~ You were right!


Dr Atkins died at New York's Weill-Cornell Medical Center and was surrounded by his wife and close friends, said Richard Rothstein, his spokesman.

He had suffered a severe head injury on 8 April after falling on an icy pavement while walking to his office in New York.

The doctor shot to fame in the early 1970s with his Atkins diet, a low-carbohydrate, high-protein eating regime.

Followers of the Atkins diet are allowed to eat unlimited meat, eggs, fish and shellfish.

But they can only eat small amounts of carbohydrates, such as bread, potatoes and pasta.



All this time I have thought he died of a heart attack. And I'm pretty sure it was my ob/gyn that told me that!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Have a great day Kathy

and I think I will try to do something like you are for now

I am going to scream if they don't straighten out DH's work issues soon

The one Boss came back on Monday
said he would fix everything

Now he seems to have "forgotten" and other employees are starting rumors which are untrue but make my DH look bad

I am so tired of it all


DH said he is talking to them today
it is there ( the Boss's ) fault so they better fix it
I hope so if not DH may decide to just look for another job and if that is the case
I wanna look south
somewhere around NC

[kaylajr]

Have a Great day everyone

the past two weeks I'm only scheduled for ~12 hours. My dream would be a guaranteed 15 hours, but I'll take the 12...

there are two other ladies who are also seasonal who only have 4 hours a week!! I would have to have two part-time jobs if I only had 4 hours a week :confused3

That's why I've been on here more in the past week.. I only work 3 days for 12 hours :goodvibes

The prices are getting up there for burgers and shakes, but its worth it for the entertainment. I have been there a few times....we would always try to go but the line would be soooooooo long on Friday/Saturday nights. The other place I told her to go that I used to enjoy was Second City.

[tubachick]

Second City is cool, the blue man group is cool, visit millenium park, any of the meusems, the cultural center (downtown), navy pier, grand lux (resturant on michigan ave and illinois ave), carnival (resturant on Fulton street and halsted), the house of blues (jazz music)

here is a link to resturants (http://www.chicagorestaurantnightclub.com/carnival.html)

what are you interested in???

[Mom2Ashli]

I don't know if I did or not. Because the only picute I have of her is of her Family. And I didn't want to post a picture of her family without her permission. Everyone else I think I have a picture of just the two of us. But she was my first one and I was excited to finally meet someone I wasn't thinking. I am lucky I have the picture of her family.

[Mom2Ashli]

How long is he gonna be gone this time? he comes home late tonight....he just went to another island....but we are so used to always being together (our family of four)...and eating dinner together too :( I felt really guilty this morning.

The other day, when I stayed home, I took the kids to school and DS was hanging on me really sad and DD was crying and crying and trying to hang onto me, they didn't want me to drop them off at school, they wanted to stay with me. And then this morning DH tells them that I am picking them up from school and they were so happy, they thought I was coming to get them in five minutes...not at the end of the day :(

I felt really bad, I have this horrible guilt that I work and then when I am home during the week taking care of them or myself I feel guilty about not being at work. I think I inherited this from my mother ;)

[eeyoresmountainpals]

And still last!

Rule Number 1 ~ DON'T FEEL GUILTY!

You and your DH have made choices based on what you want and what you think is best for your family. It's all give and take. You have a little less time with the kids during the weekdays because you are working...but on the other hand your working affords you some luxuries because of the money (whether it be trips, things for the kids, retirement income, or whatever).

My DH and I have gone the other way. I don't work full-time. I really work only enough to meet our bills. This is because we decided long ago that we wanted for one of us to always (okay, now it's almost always :teeth: ) be home with the kids. So our kids have a lot more time with me than your kids might but on the other hand there is usually not much money for extras. Our kids have done without a lot of "things", not as much now as a couple of years ago. (It was a lot harder when DD was growing up than with the boys.)

And DH and I have gone through all the guilt feelings too. And we have finally decided that we've chosen what works best for us and we don't need to feel guilty about it!

So, no guilt, Lyn! You and your DH are doing a great job with your kids and you have a great family. Feel good about that!

[trappednabox]

ITA Kathy! you have to do what's right for your family, and you shouldn't feel bad about that at all!!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

ITA Kathy! you have to do what's right for your family, and you shouldn't feel bad about that at all!!


Exactly!

So, no guilt, Lyn! You and your DH are doing a great job with your kids and you have a great family. Feel good about that! thanks Kathy and Tracy :hug: I know I shouldn't...but it is hard not too feel bad sometimes. I don't think I would be happy at home full-time, I would probable drive everyone nuts and my kids are in school now too....but too bad I couldn't work 4 days a week instead and have one day to do the shopping and cleaning (so that we could enjoy the weekends and nights more). The other thing is that even if we went to only one income, it would be my DH that would stay home, so I would still be in the same situation or worse if I took a job with more hours :( So, I am lucky we both have flexible jobs....but some days I feel like I just can't win :crazy2:

[trappednabox]

It's easy to feel that way sometimes Lyn!

[Lyn5]

It's easy to feel that way sometimes Lyn! ::yes:: oh well, like Kathy said, life is about choices....and luckily I am choosing to leave here in a half hour :cool1:

Sounds good. We had fish sticks! :teeth:

Remember last night DH said he'd take us out for Mexican. He forgot he was supposed to work off-duty work tonight. :rotfl: Oh, well. I was off all day so I told him to decide what he wanted for dinner tonght. I had the time to fix just about anything...I was thinking roast beef or pork chops. He goes and roots through the deep freeze and announces that he wants fish sticks, cheesy mashed postatoes and mustard greens! Go figure!

Did DH go with you? :teeth:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I'm going over to TN tomorrow to do some shopping. I'm trying to find a shelf, sort of like a microwave stand but not exactly, that I can put my tv in my kitchen on and can put cookbooks on the bottom. My friend and I are going to go to an unfinished wood furniture place over there and then have lunch and then she wants to go look at hot tubs at this warehouse over there. Oh how I wish she'd get a new hot tub...'cause she already said she'd sell me her old one! :teeth:

I didn't buy anything just yet. :teeth: He has to work part of the day on Sat. So I might start it on Sat and he can help finish it up on Sunday.

I told him not everything has to be work around here. Somethings can be fun rewarding projects. He called me back later and said that he would enjoy doing a fun project with me.

[eeyoresmountainpals]

:eek: You have got to be kidding me.

:sad2: Pretty sad, huh!

[Mom2Ashli]

I also want to paint my bedroom. So that mean alot of moving of furniture and whatnots. I need to get rid of A LOT of stuff. We have a large overstuffed chair in our room and I think I want to get rid of it. I would love to put a smaller chair in there. But that one is pretty comfy. :confused3

[Mom2Ashli]

Trust me there is nothing in there that you would want. I am not even sure Goodwill will take them. :rotfl2:

I do need to double check and make sure I didn't hide any money in them. One time I double checked the zipper part before I got rid of some purses and I found a $50.00 I put away for later. I guess MUCH later. :rotfl2:
