OK, so last night was my bunko and for the first time, it was mostly desserts! Crazy right? There weren't even chips to chow down on. So I actually....are you ready for this....I ate a couple of bites of a casserole that had mushrooms visible (mushrooms are gag food to me). I of course worked my way around them and only ate the beef out. (I think it was like a chinese burger casserole) and....I ate the most delish salad that was pasta, bacon, grapes, walnuts, and broccoli! I again picked out the broccoli, but those are HUGE accomplishments for me. I then ate 1 gingersnap cookie. Yum. If you could have seen all of the desserts I didn't eat...homemade sugar cookies, apple crumb pie, 7 layer cookies, M&M's. Geesh...I was actually very proud of myself. There is something to be said for grapes and bacon in a salad together. I know grapes are high in sugar but they were 1/2 grapes and I probably had 4 total. My friend got the recipe of pinterest!
Today I went to Zumba...another HUGE accomplishment. That's twice this week and I am meeting friends there on Friday so I know I will go then too! Yay Kay. I forgot to eat before I went so I had 1/3 banana. It is NOT good to not eat before a workout like that. I was a bit light headed. Then I came home and had scrambled eggs with spinach (about 2 cups full) and little smokies. It was filling and good. Dinner with hubby was a burger on a whole grain sandwich thin (grilled with butter) mayo and green pickles. A couple of bites of leftover mashed potatoes with spinach mixed in. Not too bad!
I did eat another cookie today:) We traded my brownies for some of her cookies. If the scale jumps, I will throw them away.
I did get lots of nice compliments on my weight:) At Zumba today my FAVORITE instructor came because she is on a break from college. She said "Oh, you are getting so thin". That made my day. I miss her:(
So that's my day. Boring, boring, boring....more playing on Pinterest and I started a new Lee Child book called The Affair. Life is good, but I wish I lived near Rosalie so we could be bored together!

ReplyDeleteHI Kay, Well you did real good at your get together, except you picked out the good stuff. But at least you like spinach now. Like you say baby steps. Oh how I wish we lived near each other too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Girley :-)
PS (man I can't type worth beans)messed up and had to delete and go again. haha
Hi Kay, you did great with your choices! You go girl. Don't worry if your weight goes up a tad...sounds like a lot of sodium in that food.
ReplyDeleteLots of cookie temptations in my near future! But I think I will prevail! It just messes me up too badly!! Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteGod morning Kay! Oh those holiday get togethers! My sister & I both always say "Danger, Danger, red alert!" lol. I know, were weird but have the same quirky sense of humor which is fun!
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for passing up all of those treats. Very difficult at this time of year.
Keep up the good work Skinnie! YOu are doing great!
((Sherri))
Kay, you did good! I and I hope you blog every day! Considering all that could have happened I think you were successful with what you ate. I am in awe of the self control! Hugs from me to you!
ReplyDeleteWow Kay, I think that would be quite a challenge to be around a dessert party like that! Good for you for resisting temptation! I believe that as time goes on it does get easier to say no to sugar! It makes it all worth it when we feel good about ourselves and also when someone notices how small we're getting! I'll bet your husband wishes he was back on that beach right now sunning on his air mattress! Do you guys have any snow on the ground right now?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to look so good!
ReplyDeleteYes, that warm beach does sound good right now. It's fun to look at pictures and remember the fun though.
Best Wishes-
Does the Hubby know you posted that pic?! :)You are looking good, but it is so nice when people notice and say something!
