That was a great suggestion from Cat and the story of my life!
I did Zumba today with my favorite girl:) It made me happy and I smiled a lot. I have a kink in my back though that is slowly driving me crazy!!! Well crazier:)
Hubby and I went shopping for most of the day. I did not buy one single Christmas gift. I finally did get some ideas from my oldest son and his wife, so I got a present ordered through Amazon. An argyle Boston Red Sox beanie hat??? Really??? My oldest son is bald (shaves his head) so it will keep his head warm! It sure wouldn't be my style. They both want jeans, so that means gift cards, that works for me! My youngest son is a NY Yankee's fan and my oldest son is a Boston Fan. My poor grandson gets stuck in the middle!
My daughter in law works for a recovery/restoration company. I guess there was a big sewer back up (I don't watch local news) and she has worked 160 hours in the last 10 days. She has been up to her knees in $hit every day for 10 days:( She gets overtime and hazard pay, but would it ever really be enough? Yuck, yuck, triple yuck! When you hate your job, think of how fun that would be.
Tomorrow I am going "downtown" with my girlfriend to shop and look at the beautiful Christmas trees that will be auctioned off. Then tomorrow night is my lifetime friends Christmas party. My "before" picture was done at the party last year. I am excited to see a difference this year.
I think it was Dawn that mentioned that we do not have that much longer to get through before the Christmas Holiday and enticing food will be over. It is amazing to think that it is the 14th of December and I haven't blown it yet! Cool:) For the party tomorrow I am making the Rotel/Sausage cheese dip. I will eat it with tortilla chips, but I can limit the chips. The dip for the most part, even though it is all fat, is BFC friendly. I also broke down and bought fake splenda. I made chocolate no bake cookies last night. They are a hit, because even my husband liked them. The recipe is on my pinterest. I used UVA milk and I did add a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. I don't know how bad the oatmeal is, but people eat it for breakfast? I figure if I am still drinking diet soda, a little splenda won't kill me? Shoot me now...I am a bad, bad girl! But let me tell you, the cookies are GOOD!!! I have to make this a lifestyle right? I have another admission to make. We also ate at 5 Guys Burgers for Linner. I had a bacon burger and it was too messy to only have 1 part of the bun:( I also at their fries which they leave the skin on. That's healthy right? Potato skin? But I only ate 2 meals today and I did go to Zumba. Confession time is over!
Blessings and Happy Scales...
FYI, I did not write the nasty word out, there is a $ sign for the S that disappeared:( I'm not a "filthy mouth"!
ReplyDeleteYou're a kick Kay-
ReplyDelete...good for you and Zumba
Kay I just love your attitude! You are doing an awesome job of making the BFC work for you! You lose the weight and still enjoy what you eat which makes it do-able for long term! Have a great time with your friends at the Christmas Party!!
ReplyDeleteKay, you are doing great. Read my post today. I went over to the dark side too and had a sandwich thin with added sugar! It has helped me though, and I'm gonna have it again! Big hugs from me to you! PS. I won't complain about my job every again!!
ReplyDeleteHI Kay, I think you are doing great and you look great. It's OK we can't always be 100% on the BFC. Have fun with the rest of your shopping. :-)
ReplyDeleteKay I am so glad you are finding a way to eat everything you love and not gain your weight back! I am still trying to figure that out. It's hard, b/c I don't know when to be worried. I think I am gaining muscle from working out, but it's still frustrating. At least my inches aren't going up. When I get my weigh and measure done at Curves next I'll know more. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that you're tylenol is messing with your system. It is totally constipating. That's why I try not to take much of it! Hope it all works out soon. Take a nice hot bath for your back.. :)
