Uh oh:)

UP a lb today! I'm not surprised, but it did motivate me to return to Zumba! I had my high sugar lunch/dinner on Wednesday and then ate at The Olive Garden with my Dear friend yesterday. I actually ate the leftovers for dinner, but I did not  eat the breadstick that I brought home! That made me feel successful. Today before Zumba I made scrambled eggs with spinach, bacon and tomatoes. It was yummy, but bacon is not your friend when you hit an aerobic heart rate! I loved the work out today. I felt like I got a full body workout and not just a dance session. Lot's of squats, which is what I NEED to lift my butt! I have only gone 4 total times in 2 months. I hope that by getting back on a regular schedule it will help with my maintenance.
My sister got out of the hospital today! Thank You Lord! I have not heard from my Sailor daughter and I just wonder where in the world she is. She said it could take up to 5 days to get back to the states. I hate thinking of her in foreign countries, but I guess she would be well protected. I guess I will have to take the Navy Mom decal off the back of my car:(
I totally wasted a digiorno pizza today. It was a thin crust 4 meat pizza. I cooked it regular and then put all the toppings on 1 corner of the pizza and ate it and threw the rest away. I figured it was 5.00 and if I went to lunch I would waste that amount too! Dinner was hot wings, and a couple of potato chips. I know...crazy:(
Has anyone made the flourless chocolate cake yet? I really would love to hear what you think? I have found a lot of interesting recipes on pinterest. There is also a gal that I pinned that has lost 135 lbs. Her insights and her writing was BEAUTIFUL! I urge you all to read her story. It is poignant and real.
And I really, really would like an answer to my question about the carbquick flour. It is no more expensive than coconut flour? I just want to start having some treats that I will feel good about.
Pattie, I love the netrition site. I go there and put a bunch of stuff in my basket and then don't order. There are so many options. I also need the best no sugar maple syrup? Rosalie? I think their prices are better than local on the Nature's Hollow jam. There is some really high rated pancake mixes and I am ready for some pancakes and syrup!
Wish me luck on the scale tomorrow:)
This is my certified Nutrition Sports marathon etc.etc. friend. I know weigh less than she does:) Woot!
She was holding up a chip to show me she eats one sometimes!
Last Christmas!
Blessings and Happy Scales!
I just wanted to remind myself of last Christmas....what a difference a year makes:)

  1. Good evening Kay! So many things-- I have not tried the carbquick so I don't know. What I do know is when I eat gluten free bread it raises my bloodsugar quickly, and I don't like the feeling. Not sure if it would be the same.I still plan in trying the cake once I run out if goodies. :)
    glad your sister's doing better, hope you hear from your daughter soon.
    I'm loving my kindle fire- it will totally replace my laptop on vacations! There is no memory card, but there is a cloud drive on amazon you can upload stuff to and download from.

  2. HI Kay, Don't worry about the lb. I am glad you sister is home and I hope you hear from your daughter soon. I don't know anything about carbquick, but I like Joseph's sugar free syrup. But Ever time I eat it - my tummy rumbles for at least half the day-because it has Maltitol, but it's worth it to me, cause its so good. :-)

  3. Kay, wow the before picture of you and your friend are amazing....you both look great. I agree with Rosalie about the Josephs great syrup but it does cause a little stomach upset sometimes. So glad to hear about your sister. Happy Weekend to you!

  5. Hi Kay! Glad to hear all is well with your sister. I'm sure your daughter will be in touch soon. I know the waiting must be killing you, but I'm sure she is safe. Love the pizza idea. I agree, that you would spend more to eat out. We have to remember that! I think the netrition site has the Nature's hollow for about 5 or 10 cents cheaper than the actual nature's hollow site. Plus the shippng is so much better. I like the Josephs sugar free syrup too. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hugs to you from me!
