| Karson and Gma K |
I love this picture because it shows the realization of how much weight I have lost! A whole Karson. He weighs 33 lbs. My weight at Christmas was 170, today it was 136.2. Tomorrow...not so good....but I will get there! But just think, I was carrying around a full size 2 year old in my tummy area. I have lost all over, but mostly tummy. The BFC rocks!!!

| Leave some for later!!! |
So I had a busy day today. I went to lunch with my wonderful, incredible, I hope I am just like her...friend JoAnn. She is 86 years old!!! She is amazing! We were at the Olive Garden for 3.5 hours visiting. Our waiter was a sweetheart and hopefully we tipped accordingly. I took a picture of my plate when we were done eating so you could see what I save for later. I had 1 breadstick and a bowl of zuppa soup too. Moderation is the key for me now and forever!

| Isn't she beautiful? |
This afternoon my hubby and I left to get me some new shoes.....I don't know if you have heard about Toms? My daughter has about 8 pair. I finally broke down and got some Black Glitter ones because they are supposed to be so COMFORTABLE and when you buy a pair, they give a pair to a child? Gimmick? Who knows? We then went to find me some new jeans. I think I tried on 20 pair. I am short, and I have a short waist, so they all fit weird. I did not get any because my butt was too flat, the rise was off, the color was dorky, etc. etc. I was a size 6 in every pair and a 7 in the junior sizes. It would have been more frustrating if I wasn't so excited about the size! That took forever so we stopped for dinner on the way home. 2 meals out in 1 day...that's one of the reasons that I know the scale may slap me up side the head tomorrow! My husband LOVES pancakes so we went to Perkins. I had an omelette...not bad....breakfast potato's, just a few, 1/2 english muffin.....and 2 bites of the most heavenly pie in the history of my life. It was a coconut candy bar pie. I could stop at 2 bites because it was so sweet it made my mouth pucker. I wanted to eat it to see if my tummy got upset when I ate something sweet. I want to make sure when I go on vacation I am not going to be running to the bathroom all the time. I also spilled my full drink all over the table. I don't ever get embarrassed, kind of a good/bad thing....but my husband does! We are such a team:) I do the dumb move and he gets embarrassed! So I have had a very FULL food day, I do NOT recommend trying it...I hope that I don't have a weight gain that takes forever to come back off....but what a great day it was:) I will close with a picture of JoAnn.
Blessings and happy scales! Woot, woot!!!
Joann is beautiful. Looks so vibrant too. Sounds like you had a great day! I love how you find balance in making this a lifestyle. Great job. Enjoyed your post. Way to go...losing a toddler.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetheart! I've heard of the Toms shoes, are they durable? They don't look durable to me, but it seems like a good cause. My hubby and I are the same way too - I do the silly thing, he gets embarrassed. Oh well. The jeans I bought yesterday are the Style and Co Petite Flare jeans. So pretty! I feel like a rock star in them! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the BFF stands for Best Friend Forever - that you'll love the bra so much that you'll never be without it. LOL. I've heard great things about it! I used to love my Wacoals, but I'm not sure now. Now that I can actually wear 'normal sized' I'm excited to branch out...
Kay, Love your post today. And a big hug and thank you for what you wrote on mine. I really do appreciate your kind words of encouragement and just being there for me. I love how you left all that food on your plate, and your friend is so beautiful. So if you lost a toddler, I may need to lose a teenager....well maybe not a teenager, but at least a first grader!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great visual you have lost a little Karson. Do you find the toms shoes comfortable?
ReplyDeleteWell it sounds like you had a great time today. And yes she is BEAUTIFUL!! Can you remember what it was even like carrying that around all the time?? Great job Girly. :-)
ReplyDeleteOk Kay, so this is a nifty little blog setup you've got going on now. It took me a little while to figure it out, but now I'm good!! I've only lost a little over 2/3's of a Karson so far, lol! What an absolute cutie pie by the way! There is NO WAY your friend looks anywhere near 86 -NO WAY!! Quick find out every secret she has and then share it with the rest of us!
