The San Antonio Guy is Back!

Welcome back, Jason! You've got a great state of mind---I believe that's
the biggest part of the battle!

Good luck!

Hello all,

For those that remember me, Jason from San Antonio/New Braunfels, I'm

back.

I've since moved back home to Kansas, and am loving it. I've started to
goto school this semester, but then other pressures began to press and I
decided to skip school this semester as I was paying out of state tuition
and really focus on my health and my credit card debt.

As of tomorrow I will be back on Atkins. I just read a story of an 18

year

it's all good from here...

Ya'll take care,

Well I got out there and walked a half a mile tonight on the track. Since I
don't have much for lunch tomorrow, I'll eat tomorrow at a local steak house
close to my work. Plain salad, oil and vinegar, and a plain steak I'll
take care of groceries tomorrow night. Just occurred to me that a big batch
of scrambled eggs, chopped sausage, chopped ham, etc. then divy up into a
bunch of small tupperware deals would make for a quick and easy breakfast...
hmm...

Anyways, it felt good to get out there again and exercise...

Till later,

Jason

Welcome, Jason ... though, as a lurker here, I am not one to be the welcomer
..... I empathize and can identify with your story about goals made and
deferred .... perhaps we can motivate one another, through this group, to
make and achieve manageable goals. Good luck!

Hi Jason, welcome back to the group. Looking at Google, I see you stopped
posting here just a few days before I started low-carbing, so it's a new start
for you as far as *I'm* concerned :-)
