I had a fun day today. I did go to my Zumba this morning and I was sweating like a piggy! It felt good and I was proud of myself for going. I was able to lay in the sun for a bit this afternoon too. That felt amazing!!! Sunshine makes me happy. I met my daughter and we went down to Nordstrom's to pick up some shoes for her hubby and a wallet for her. OK, someone explain to me how a 25 year old needs a wallet that costs 100.00???? Oh my gosh!!! She got her husband the shoes so he wouldn't say anything about the wallet. This is the daughter that is moving in with me. I don't know if I am jealous or disgusted??? I'm happy that she can have those things, but I wish they would save their money. Kids!!!
We then went to my grandson's birthday party. It was a lot of fun and a lot of activity. My kids think if I am there that their kids are safe and I will chase them everywhere. I did burn a few calories:) I did not have cake or ice cream, no desire to...how weird does that feel?
Patti, I do eat carbs more freely than I should. I stick with sandwich thins for all of my bread at home. They have 22 grams of carbs so they count as 2 carb servings, but 2 carb servings is actually up to 40 grams. That's how I justify my chips. I just eat a few and it satisfies me. Knowing I can have them and they aren't banned makes it easy to stay on BFC. We eat out way too much, and I just try and make good choices. When we go to Mexican food I do chow down on the chips and salsa....and I mean chow!!! But, I eat the middle out of my burrito or chimi. so I am not eating the whole tortilla. There doesn't seem to be much sugar in the Mexican sauces that I like. I eat bites of the rice, but no where near what I would eat in the past. I guess I have lost weight because I am making smarter, better choices and picking my favorites only to overeat. I always get back on track. Pick your favorite things and find ways to incorporate them in your meals every day so you don't feel deprived. The warm berries and cool whip that I have every night really does satisfy my sweet tooth. I do put stevia on the berries before I warm them up. I am really lucky in that I don't drink so I don't have that to factor in.
Breakfast: Cheerios and unsweetened almond milk
Lunch: 2 eggs, 3 bacon, sandwich thin toasted with butter.
Snack: leftover steak over some spring greens with ranch and chili cheese fritos.
Dinner: Pepperoni pizza from Costco. I had 1 piece with the crust and the topping off the second piece. I had never had Costco's take and bake pizza, it wasn't too bad.
Dessert: Blackberries with stevia and cool whip.
Thank you for all of the nice comments. I really do love having the connections and friendships in our quest to conquer the BFC:)
Blessings, K
Thanks Kay for all the info. I noticed you have pizza and other carbs once in awhile. That was one of the things that I wondered about. Some people are very strict and only have the whole grain, low/no sugar carbs.I wondered if you count them, can you have the bad white carbs once in awhile too and still lose weight? It seems you can! I gave up those sandwich thins because of the sugar, and have been having the ezekial bread. It's great as toast, but not so much for a sandwich. I think I may need to reconsider some of my choices to give my more variety. I really appreciate your comments and support. It was so nice to log on this morning and see your comments on my blog. I think that is integral in being successful on this plan, having people to help you out. Hugs to you and loved hearing about your grandsons birthday! Cute photo! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest problem with eating white flour carbs is the lack of fiber. I think it is better to eat what you like. I eat the whole wheat white sandwich thin. I tried the whole wheat, same sugar, and did not like the taste. I do turn them inside out and make grilled sandwiches with butter and that tastes really good. I haven't tried the ezikial bread but I probably wouldn't like it if it tastes like wheat bread:(
ReplyDeleteI agree on the support from our BFC friends. It is fun and encouraging. I appreciate you!
You are such a cutie, it must be nice being able to see your grandchildren so often. I think it's good you have found a way to have your carbs, without them how long would you do the bfc? Tailoring the bfc to your tastes and what is realistic for you and your family to eat is key to success. Have a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Happy Bday to your grandson :)
Hi Kay, What a nice picture!!
ReplyDeleteI know you have problems with wheat stuff you have said in the past. I am so strict w/ my food because I was so heavy, and I don't want to ever be tempted to go back to my old eating habits. All the white stuff is very unhealthy for you so I never eat it anymore, that's all.
But Jorge did say once in a video about pizza - to eat all the toppings off the top and then a few bites of crust if you want.
Have a great day. :-)
Kay I love all your photos on here! What a beautiful family! Thanks for sending me a note and pointing me here.
