Do as I say, not as I do:)

That was the advice I gave my women at the gym because I did not eat veggies, I ate way to many junk foods, and I only exercised 4 days a week even though often times I was working 6 days. I literally would sit there and visit with them while they worked out rather than to have my body require that I worked out 5 days  a week to maintain. I will go on record as saying that I needed to lose about 10-15 lbs when I owned the gym. I was not overweight, just a lot of "fat pockets" that I wanted to get rid of. I was told by a friend recently that people don't notice that I have lost weight, because I wasn't that over weight for very long. By my calculations, the scale started climbing in March 2010. Last summer I weighed about 167 lbs when my daughter and I started weigh watchers. I lost about 7 lbs before we quit going. The reason that I am bringing this up is because I haven't been overweight my whole life, but I have had a lot of extra fat for many, many years. That's what woke me up when I watched Jorge on Rachel Ray. I was able to eat a LOT of food, bad food, and still be around 145 lbs. I looked OK with clothes on, but minus clothes was another story. I NEVER wore shorts in my own gym. I hated my legs and I was embarrassed that someone would think that the equipment didn't work because I still had dimply legs. It was the food I tell you! I still have a way to go but eating the BFC lifestyle is really getting rid of a lot of the built of fat stores that I had. My ankles have even slimmed down. I have to believe that it has a lot to do with the sugar/carb count and my insulin levels being more regulated. I am looking at this scientifically. I think Jorge gave us as many sugar and carbs as he could to allow this to work. I think a lot of his claims are over the top, but I do believe my body is functioning more efficiently doing the BFC.
Now here comes the don't do as I do....We went to KFC yesterday and they had 12 chicken wings for 6.49. I have 2 left tonight. I have eaten 9 of them because I gave my hubby one. Do I really think I am going to have a big weight loss tomorrow when I ate so many pieces of fried chicken??? NO, and I haven't eaten any spinach or veggies for days. Jorge says we can eat KFC, but I don't think he meant 9 chicken wings. I also discovered that the pasta salad that I was chowing down on for 3 days...I did not know that Italian dressing had sugar in it. I had looked at the Good Seasons packet, but it never occurred to me that Italian dressing had sugar. It has 4 sugars in 2 TBS. I was not only eating way too much pasta, but tons of sugar! Ugh!!! There are still so many lessons I need to learn. I really need to go back to journaling every day because when I marked off the S/C's I was much more accurate.
On the positive front, I did go to Zumba today and I had no issues with nausea. I actually ate a bowl of cheerios and a chicken wing for protein. I am BIZARRE!!!
Tomorrow is  my physical. I am really excited to see the progress that I have made. In the afternoon I am actually going to a water park with my daughter and grandson and I will wear my bathing suit. That my friends is HUGE progress. We were going to go a couple of weeks ago and it didn't work out. Hopefully tomorrow we can make it.
I am really good at having the opinion that you have to go "all in" on this lifestyle and then not doing it myself. I will get better. I agree with Dawn, the closer we get to goal the more calories are going to play into the weight loss. I need to remind myself of that.

Blessings and happy scales:)
