Well I was not surprised by the scale the last 2 days. I was at an all time low on Tuesday morning of 136.2. This morning I was at 137.4. I have definitely been a bad girl. Tonight was the first time we have eaten dinner at home since last Friday? Wow...crazy....waste of money??? I didn't realize it had been so many days. I swear when I am writing this I have these "aha" moments!!! We don't eat at fancy places, but it sure adds up. Last night was Ivar's fish and chips...yummy! I really don't eat that many fries and the fish is good for me right?

We have been on a search for new jeans for me. That's why we were out shopping again last night. I went to a bigger Macy's to try and find some that fit right. I tried on at least 20 more pair. Ugh!!! My waist is still 30 inches, but I have a flat butt and it looks awful in most of the jeans I try on. If they fit my butt, they were tight in the waist. The relaxed boyfriend type my hubby doesn't like:( He says that I didn't lose all this weight to wear baggy pants. Ugh!!! My daughter suggested I try the Gap and they actually have 30 % off through Sunday, so I guess I am on for more torture. I'm afraid if I don't get some jeans before I go to Hawaii, I will grow and then just accept it and buy bigger pants. I want to have something to stay in, not grow in to!
I have some AWFUL news for me. I have been able to stick to the BFC in large part because I changed my bread to the whole wheat white sandwich thins. My hubby looked everywhere for them on Tuesday night and we just thought, oh...we will just get some at the base way cheaper. We went to the base today and they didn't have them either. If they are out at every store, I think they may have quit making them? Did somebody go all over town buying them all? This will seriously be bad. I can tolerate the wheat ones, but I am bummed. I know this sounds weird, but we bought some lunch meat to take to Hawaii. I planned to take my sandwich thins, and some chili cheese fritos'. Well...my sandwich thins are AWOL:( I bought Canadian Bacon, salami and some pepperoni slices. I plan to have them all frozen and put them in our little cooler that we take to the beach and just put in my suitcase. There is a little store on site and a Walmart a ways away, but everything is twice as much there and fewer choices. My husband thinks that I won't really pack sandwiches to the beach...I am going to prove him wrong!!!
Blessings and happy scales:)
I am undecided on the new format for the blog. I like some of the features, so I'm sure the whole thing will grow on me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the sandwich to the beach idea! Sad to hear about your sandwich thins. I'll look for you at my store the next time i go. :)
I can say I love the new format...I had a hard time getting yours to show up. I could be a computer geek too. Hope you find the sandwich thins I love love love them. I get mine at costco or walmart. Hope you find some jeans you like too. I hate shopping for clothes.
ReplyDeleteHi Kay. Not sure about the new format yet. I know I need to jazz my blog up a bit, but not sure how, and don't have the time to play around with it! Regarding the sandwich thins, have you tried another variety? I know pepperidge farm, and arnold make them. And I have seen the whole wheat white, although I always bought the regular whole wheat. I think you will make out with the jeans at Gap. I like their curvy line, and I even bought a pair of skinny curvy ones last year, that are tight in the legs, but not too tight as to look silly. Also look into Ann Taylor if you have one near you. I don't have any of their jeans, but my Mom has a pair that she loves. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI tried the new format too and I don't like it. My 2 cents worth.
ReplyDeleteWow, those sandwich thins are all over the place here, even Walmart has them. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of the thins. I like the WW roll up bread or St. Josephs Pitas, but that's just me. I'll bet they will be back in the stores around you in no time, because they seem to be big sellers. You are so smart to plan some of your meals while you are away. To me lunch is always the hardest meal and knowing ahead what you want to eat will not only be Belly good but just easier in general. About the blog style, it's nice, but to be honest I liked your other style blog better.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is the 4th time I've trid to do this post, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will work this time. The last jeans I purchased were Lee's from Kohls. I remember trying on many pair & Lee's were the only ones that fit. Although before I gained weight I loved gap jeans. I wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteI tried the new format, but didn't know how to make it look fancy.
Have a great weekend!
