Lisa - I'm working late tonight - big yuck - but I gotta make some spending money for my fast approaching Disney trip. I've got a few minutes down time so I thought I would check on some of my WISH friends. I see you are busy as usual but you are wearing that 50 pound beautiful clippie with pride, just as you should! 
Did I read in one of your past posts that you have a Grand Floridian robe? Do tell more please! I want to get one when we are there in June if they are available for purchase.
It did dawn on me that I might not be able to fit into a normal sized robe but I was so excited the other day when I stepped out the shower and wrapped the regular sized bath towel just about all the way around me. I almost screamed my head off when I realized what that meant. So perhaps by June I could fit into a regular robe.
Thanks for the giving me the details about the robe when you have a chance and thanks also for the inspiration. Keep up all your hard work!
Your WISH-sis,
Lisa

Oh boy, I haven't been doing very well posting menus. AGAIN! But I'm staying OP. Let's see if I can remember the last couple of days at least.
3/22/04:
Breakfast-Scrambled eggs w/chorizo and cheese, 2 strips of bacon, 6 oz. whole milk.
Lunch-Stuffed chicken breast, mixed veggies, diet Dr. Pepper.
Dinner-Two turkey and cream cheese rolls, Atkins candy bar for dessert, ICE sparkling water.
3/23/04:
Breakfast-Oatmeal w/half and half.
Lunch-Here's where it got a little dicey. We had a baby shower here at work and my boss had chinese catered in. I had kung pao chicken and a little beef and broccoli. I definitely stayed away from the rice and chow mein, however.
Dinner-Stuffed chicken breast w/mixed veggies, ICE sparkling water. Dessert was an Atkins candy bar.
Laurie, I feel that Curves is serving it's purpose for now. In all honesty, though, I find it somewhat boring and I'm already tired of the soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be negative but LA Fitness is more my style but it just doesn't fit into my schedule right now. I'm very happy that I joined Curves though, and I think it's a great program for those just starting out exercising. I attribute getting over my plateau to Curves.
Hey there Meme, so good to hear from you! How are you doing? I'm going to have to pop over to your journal and see what you've been up to.
Hi Lisa. Thanks for stopping by my journal, I know you're a busy gal like most of us.
Hmmm, don't know who posted about the GF robe but it wasn't me. It sounds fab though and I'd love to have one! If this trip were hubby and I alone, I'd have chosen GF. If he falls in love with WDW, maybe there will be a couples only trip in our future. I can dream, can't I? I think you'd be able to fit in a regular sized robe by June.
Don't you just love it when the towel wraps all the way around? The exact same thing happened to me! Amazing the little things that we don't think about that show that we really are succeeding. I've noticed that when I walk, my arms don't rub up against my body like they used to. That's a weird sensation for me. And I can actually feel my bones and even see them, especially my collar bone. I have bones!
I know this is really personal but it's mainly girls around here, but I find it easier to shower, smaller body to wash and easier to reach places! Oh, and I find it easier to put a bra on and bend over to tie my shoes. Bending over is much easier overall because my tummy isn't as big. Oh my goodness, I could go on and on with all of the changes my body has gone through. That's why I enjoy reading your journal so much because you write about similar things.
Well, gotta go, need to finish up here at work. Later!

Isn't that a wonderful feeling? I was telling Chris last night that it felt wonderful that I didn't have to yank my leg up to tie my shoes. Man oh man was that a great feeling!
You are doing a GREAT job! Keep up the good work and have a great day today!

Hi Desiree! Yes, it's a great feeling. Tying shoes would leave me out of breath before.
Have a great day Desiree!
3/24/04:
Breakfast-Morning Start Bar, coffee.
Lunch-Two small mesquite chicken breasts, mixed veggies, ICE Sparkling Water.
Dinner-Grilled chicken ceasar salad from Boston Market, ICE Sparkling Water.
No dessert! Yay!
I bought a new recipe book yesterday that I'm very excited about. It's my first lc cook book called 500 Low Carb Recipes by Dana Carpender. Can't wait to try the Heroin Wings! If I make them this weekend , I'll post the recipe.
Oh, BTW, I lost a couple more pounds and I'm down to 172. Woohoo! 3 more pounds to go for my 55 lb clippie! Thank you Curves!!!

What a weekend, I actually stayed home with the exception of work on Saturday. I though if I didn't venture out, I wouldn't spend any money. Well, I was wrong, went window shopping on the web and bought a few things. Oh well, at least they were necessities for vacation. Also started spring cleaning. I'll complete it over the next several weekends. I went through my closet and got rid of 3 large bags of clothing, my fat clothes. Not that I'm not still fat, but they were my super fact clothes. It was kind of scary and I thought I may need them some day and it would be a waste to get rid of them. Then I came back down to earth and reminded myself that the journey I'm on is for a lifetime.
Since I was busy, my food choices were kind of weird, but not off plan.
3/27/04:
Breakfast-Morning Start bar, coffee.
Lunch-Turkey and salami sandwich, ICE sparking water.
Dinner-Two small chicken breasts, mixed veggies, strawberries for dessert.
3/28/04:
Breakfast-Two scrambled eggs w/chorizo and cheese, 1 slice of lc bread.
Lunch-I didn't really eat a lunch per se, more like a snack. Two slices of turkey rolled w/cream cheese, ICE sparkling water.
Dinner-Again, not really a full meal. Had lc Breyers strawberry ice cream. A couple of hours later I had a slice of salami w/cream cheese.
Ok, I've come to a decision as of this morning. I weighed in and I'm still at 172. Definitely not a bad thing. Anyway, I made a last minute decision to go back on induction for 2 weeks. I'm exactly 2 weeks away from my official weigh in and measuring at Curves on the April 11th. I just feel like I need a jump start. I tried on those size 12 shorts again and they're still tight. I feel I can do this as it shouldn't feel like a huge change since I'll just be cutting out 3 things, namely, bread, low carb sweets like Atkins candy and ice cream and milk. I can do this!
Erin, thanks so much for the bounces, always a great start to a new week!

Hi Lisa,
Your eggs with chorizo sounds yummy. I think that ypu are doing a great thing getting rid of your fat clothes. I'm afraid to part with mine. I've been thinking about doing induction again too. I've become really dependent on my treats. I'll keep an eye on how you are doing.
Take care.
Beth

hey lisa, good luck with induction! it shouldn't be so bad, you've done it before and survived, right? and it'll definitely give you a jump start so that you have a great weigh in/measurement at curves 
i'm so proud of you for getting rid of those fat clothes! it's such a great step to take, since you know you will never be needing them again! scary, yes, but i'm proud of you for making that leap. great job
hope induction is going well, and hav ea great day

I made it through my first day of induction and it wasn't bad at all. The only thing was that the strawberry low carb ice cream I bought on Sunday was calling to me, but it wasn't too big of a temptation. I'm going to have to go out and buy some sugar free Jello to help me get through the next couple of weeks.
I'm going to try to be really diligent with posting menus because that'll help me keep on the straight and narrow.
3/30/04:
Breakfast-Two scrambled eggs with chorizo and cheese. This is the 3rd time in a week I've had them and my stomach is telling me to lay off for a while! ICE sparkling water to drink.
Lunch-Two hamburger patties w/cheese, sliced tomato, broccoli, diet orange cream soda.
Dinner-Two small mesquite chicken patties, a small amount of broccoli, ICE sparkling water.
I'm setting myself a goal for today of drinking all the water I'm supposed to. I've been falling behind with the water again, but I know I need to drink, drink, drink!
Beth, thanks so much for checking in on me. If you're thinking about induction, go for it, it's not that bad since we've been through it before and it's really not that different than what we already do.
Marcia, thanks so much for the encouragement, I really need it right now. Sorry I haven't been to your journal, but I'm going to try to get to everyone within the next couple of days. Have a great day!

Lisa, I've been away from your journal too long - you had a clippie party without me!!!
50+ POUNDS GONE!!!!!
Lisa, I am so impressed with your dedication and persistence!! You have done an amazing job of sticking to lc and making it work. Induction won't be too bad - you've been there, done that - you'll make it through again!!
You've been CURVing!! I bet that's helping those pounds melt away! Good for you for doing what's healthy, even on those "wanna stay in bed" mornings!!
I can't wait to see that NEXT clippie - and I promise I won't be late for the party this time!!

Wow, I made it through day 2 of induction. Not to shabby if I do say so myself. Today was actually a breeze.
3/30/04:
Breakfast-Morning Start bar, coffee.
Lunch-Roast beef (very yummy), broccoli, diet rootbeer.
Dinner-Chicken ceasar salad, ICE sparkling water, sf jello for dessert.
I can't wait to weigh myself on Monday. I might take a peek tomorrow, but I know I shouldn't.

Ok, so I peeked this morning at the scale.
But hey, I'm down another pound so that brings me to 171. Two more pounds to get out of the 170s and get my 55 pound clippie. Woohoo!
Hi Erin, I'm going to go pop over to your journal at lunch time to see what you've been up to!

hehe, lisa, what happened to *not* peeking at the scale? oh well, at least it was a good peek! 171...soooo close to the 160s and a 55 pound clippie can't wait to see what it says on monday. with induction and all, i wouldn't be surprised if you earn that clippie by then, but if not, it can't be too far behind 
looks like your'e doing well so far on induction. just make sure to get in that water! you can do it, even though i know it's hard for you to get it all in. i'll be sending you "drink your water" vibes
. alright, enough of my silliness, i hope you have a great day today

Good morning! I only have a few minutes, so I"ll quickly post yesterday's menu.
3/31/04:
Breakfast-Morning Start bar, coffee. Mornings have been hectic this week, no time for a full meal.
Lunch-Two hamburger patties, green beans, tomato slices, diet orange cream soda.
Dinner-I was out and about and by the time I got home at 8:30, I didn't feel like cooking. It's time to go grocery shopping this weekend, so it was slim pickins in terms of frozen foods I could nuke. Anyway, I settled for two scrambled eggs and two hot dogs, no bun of course; ICE sparkling water to drink.
Marcia, thanks so much for reminding me to drink my water! I have it right here next to me and I'm going to start chugalugging right now.

You're doing great, Lisa! I finally made it to the store last night - I can feel for you having to scrounge around. Eggs & hot dogs - no problem!! Good for you for making the most of the situation!!
