I must like this weight, it doesn't want to seem to change, however I have been a very BAD girl so hopefully it will not change higher. Yesterday my Sailor daughter left, just like I expected....a blow up and no hug or kiss good bye. Maybe in 8 months she will miss me. It was such a bad emotional day I don't even know what I ate. I do know what I ate today!
Breakfast: Cheerios and USAM.
Zumba, Zumba...Beth, it is for EVERYONE. Every shape, size, age, and fitness level. The key is to do what you can do, and slowly progress to dream about looking like the instructor. You don't have time to really look around at other people, so I doubt other people are looking at me. You can't help but have a smile on your face through the workout. It kicks my butt every time. I can shake my booty and I am old!
Lunch: General Tso's chicken and beef and noodle chow mein. I met my friend today because yesterday turned out to be so fun. NOT!!! It was a new restaurant and each item was inexpensive, so I tried both. I ate 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner. I did not eat all of the noodles, but I did eat a lot of veggies that I wouldn't typically eat. She had this nasty looking sushi thing. I will NEVER understand eating raw fish. Yuck!
Dessert: raspberries and 1/2 a Clemmy O.
I hadn't seen Dawn (the gal I met for lunch) for over 6 years. She has put on a lot of weight. I encouraged her to try the BFC, but not in a suggestive way. She said she is almost ready to start trying something. I hope she does get the BFC material and I can help her.
I am totally understanding my BFC friends who are menopausal. Even though I had a hysterectomy, I kept my ovaries so I do have emotional issues. I should be the happiest girl in the world and I can't be. Maybe if I would track my down times, it would make more sense to me. I have a full physical next month. I am really excited because I was on the verge of cholesterol meds. I can't wait to see what a change my blood work has from eating healthier and losing weight.
Ladies, we are so lucky to have one another to turn to. We just need to keep it up and when we feel lonely, blog....someone will be there for us:) That's a comforting feeling.
Blessings and happy scales....or break the dang scale...and eat! Kidding!
Hi Kay. So Sorry about your daughter. I don't know if you are religious or not, but I was just reading alittle prayer thing on my Kindle this morning, and the reading today was about loving others as best you can, but knowing that they might not alwasy return that love, and it's not your fault. You can't control their actions, only your own. I hope you can find some peace in this situation. I believe in time she will come around if you just keep being there for her. On another note, I saw a piece on TV about Zumba gold, for those over 50. There were people in their 90's out there having a great time. I just went back to yoga class yesterday, and it really calmed me mentally. My world is always in such a rush, rush state, that I need a more quiet reflective type of exercise right now. Although I have to admit the zumba looked fun. I am going to look around and see if there are any classes. I might check it out. I like to mix things up. Have a great day Kay, and don't worry about the scale. I weighed in yesterday and lost, and then this morning I was up alot. I know it's just water weight, as I went out to eat last night and I'm sure took in alot of sodium. It's still so hard to not let that scale control me! What it says can make or break my day, but I'm trying to get away from that and be more positive. Always a battle!
ReplyDeleteKay,
ReplyDeleteI swear our kids do that on purpose just so we can worry about it! I'll bet she will call or email soon to smooth things over, because it will be weighing on her mind too! I just might have to try that Zumba. Maybe this Fall after I get one of my son's off to college and my youngest goes back to school I can find a class. "...slowly progress to dream about looking like the instructor" - that really made me laugh!
And first of all - you are not old!! Sorry about your daughter. Kids are just big poops some times.
ReplyDeleteThe weight just goes up and down. Try not to get too discouraged about it.
Have a great day :-)
I am so sorry about your daughter...sometimes we can be real pains... :(
ReplyDeleteI hope your friend gets into the Belly Fat Cure! That would be great - I'm always trying to get people interested. If only they knew how easy it is once you commit yourself!
Don't worry about the weight - sometimes we have to stay the same for a bit and even out. You will start losing again soon.
