| New low:) |
I'm excited about my weight, but stress isn't the way that I wanted to lose. Hopefully I can just maintain here for awhile without any swings up or down. My clothes basically fit exactly the same so I am not seeing any difference in how 136.5 feels vs 135.1.
A couple of observations. I have been so healthy "cold" wise. My grandson has had a cold off and on, my husband has had 2 colds, my daughter was sick with a cold for about a week, and I have escaped them all. I hate to even type that in case I jinxed myself. I don't know if it is the way I am eating or the vitamins that I am taking? Whatever is working is good!
I have also decided that not being a "snacker" is a good thing for me. If at that end of the day calories in/calories out do count....I am saving calories each day. I am just not hungry between meals.
I have been able to eat everything that I want to eat and surprisingly, what I want to eat, is not the goodies that I used to eat! My daughter has been on a baking frenzy and I haven't even been tempted. One of the goodies that I wanted to find a recipe for was the chocolate no bake cookies. She made some of those yesterday and I wasn't tempted to have any. It is so weird to me!!! I don't feel like I can't have it, I feel like I am making a choice not to have it.
I can do this for the rest of my life!!!
I went to get my eyebrows waxed today and my friend Cheryl said "well it looks like you are keeping your weight off, I have gained all of mine back but 5 lbs." She had done a mail order diet thing, not Nutrasystem but similar. She had lost about 20 lbs. She carries all of her weight in her bottom. I encouraged her to try mine, but she said she doesn't really eat that much sugar anyway. I always come back with the amount of sugar in skim milk. She wasn't interested in trying it??? My daughter gets tired of me talking about it, so we just left. I know that Cheryl eats a lot of sugar because we worked side by side for 5 years!!! She had a skin care room in my gym. Silly girl!
I am trying to enjoy every day with my grandson. They are scheduled to leave for Georgia on Sunday morning. We are having family dinner here on Saturday. I will miss my grandson desperately, but I know that life goes on. He is gone this evening and I pointed out to my husband how quiet the house seemed. It will be a big adjustment to have just the 2 of us here again. Kayce and Karson have lived here since July 1st.
I think I want to take a road trip and stop and visit everyone. I think it would be a fun dream to meet each other one day. Why not? Dreams come true, I met my husband:) Rosie has the best weather by far, and a pool! I vote we go visit her:! That will teach her to be so helpful and encouraging every day! Everyone would be more than welcome here. My husband calls it Snokane instead of Spokane. He got his new snow blower today so he is ready for our winter weather. The ONLY reason I am looking forward to the snow is so I can wear my UGG boots every day, all day. They might be ugly, but they are more comfortable than bare feet!!!
I will end with an update on my sister. My brother does have the power to ban me so I have not gone to the hospital. She is getting better and my husband has visited her. I keep in contact with her boyfriend. I had to let it go or the anger and hurt would consume me. Our family is pretty screwed up!!! Well, my brother is pretty screwed up. Prayers are still very much appreciated and I totally believe they helped in getting her out of ICU. We are certainly not out of the woods yet. Today they are having to gown up again before going into her room. They checked her for MRSA before, and she didn't have it? Are they thinking she got it in the 5 days she has been there? Ugh!!!
Blessing and happy scales!!!
Staying well, that's awesome. I've noticed that too in myself. I SO WANT to get together with everyone. Let's plan a spring trip...that way we'll have time to achieve our goals and save money for the trip. I vote for Rosalie too ;), but anywhere is fine. I serious about it. I can plan to do it. Sounds like the makings of a great novel...our journeys along the way then meeting. I'll definitely pray for your sister.
ReplyDeleteKay, great job on the weight loss even though it wasn't the way you wanted it to come off. I can totally relate in regards to families and being screwed up...MINE TOO! Why would your brother ban you from the hospital? It is sad when family members act like that when someone is in the hospital that you love and care for. I will have you in my prayers and your sister too.
ReplyDeleteI think having less sugar has affected you not having the colds that everyone else has. I remember Jorge saying that his kids are low sugar and they don't get sick very much.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know your sis could have gotten MRSA while in the hospital since her immune system is probably compromised. It's scary how common it is becomming. I'm sure they will let you know when they know for sure having to gown up might just be a precaution right now. Make sure to be extra good about hand washing. I'm sorry to hear that you brother has the power to kick you out :( I hope Kristi recovers quickly.
Hi Kay. I am glad to see that you are in a better place mentally, as is Kristi, physically. Glad to hear she is making progress. I really want to thank you for the kind words and never ending encouragement you wrote on my blog. I am glad you are my friend too. I really am! It's funny how we can become so close to people we have never spoken in person too, but I definitely feel close to all my blogger friends. I am not quitting on this BFC lifestyly as I feel the same way you do. Sugar doesn't have the power over me that it once did. I feel so much better without it. I do think that I have been inadvertantly eating too much food, even though it's BFC approved. So I have been trying to watch the calories too. It's easy to do with that tap and track App on my phone. I just put in what I eat, and it tracks my sugar and fiber and carbs, but calories too. I realize that I have to cut back on the cheese a bit, and limit some other stuff. I always want to overdo everything, so this may be the answer for me. I know I can do this with my friends behind me! Hugs to you from me XO!
ReplyDeletePS sorry you are still banned from the hospital. I really didn't think they could do that, but I guess I was wrong. When Kristi gets out of there, you should have a talk with her and make sure her wishes about who can visit her, if this should ever happen again, are written down and followed.
Wouldn't that be so fun to get together. Yes, Rosalie has great weather-I go to CA often to visit family.
ReplyDeleteKay, I'm so happy you're feeling well. We're not a one-size fits all being. When wisdom comes to teach us how to care for our individual bodies-it good to listen...and you are!
Hello Pretty Girl,
ReplyDeleteI am very happy to hear about your weight and that you are feeling a bit better inside. I am still keeping you all in my thoughts and wish you sister a 100% recovery.
OK - so I think my house it is. I really want to meet everyone, so whoever want to is welcome. Lets find a date that will work with mostly everyone and do it.
Kay you are in charge. LOL
Have a great day :-)
Great job Kay! Hope you can visit your sister soon. You are right, I like to cook. And bake. And eat. :) That's the reason that I am having trouble with maintaining, not because of the grains or not grains, etc. I haven't been sick like this since started BFC, hope it goes away soon. Take care, Dawn
ReplyDeleteGood morning my friend! So sad to hear about your brother still being such an idiot. How sad that Kristi has to be in the middle & that he is only being spiteful toward you & not thinking of what would be best for her.
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet you all in person & I am game for a get together, however I could only come for a weekend getaway, as I need to save my PTO (paid time off) for my surgery next fall...but I could def take a long weekend! I think we would have sucha great time together!!!Spring sounds great! Keep me posted.

Kay sorry to hear your grandson is moving out so soon. That will be a hard adjustment. I can't imagine having the house to myself - it's been awhile. Now my oldest son is graduated from college and working freelance from home for awhile and he is ALWAYS here - not easy. Your doing so well with your weight!! I'm happy for you - you've seemed to find exactly the right formula for yourself. I'm still looking. Glad your sister is going much better. I hope it will continue to go well for her and she gets out of the hospital soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new low Kay!! That is great! On the family, that is really too bad. So sad when people act like that.
