OK, I know everyone is busy, I do, but I miss you! It was such a great help to log into the blog every day and see different posts about what was working, new food ideas, what was important, what you were thinking, what was sad, what was a victory....It was a community...you know how it takes a village to raise a child? Well it takes a community to lose weight, keep it off, keep us accountable.
I don't think I would have made it through the last year without all of the blogs, the relationships, the encouragement. I miss it! A lot! And yes, I have a life outside of this group, but they aren't doing the BFC...or WW...or trying to maintain....or trying to lose....we were a community. Have I made anyone feel guilty? I'm sorry...but I want you back!!!
I am where I want to be weight wise. I mean, who wouldn't want to lose more weight? But I am OK here, but I don't want to gain. If I do gain, I want someone to be out there to encourage me to get back on track....Rosalie is such a huge part of this journey, but so were each of you.
So, with that being said. I weighed 136.1 today. Ugh! I am OK with that number because I know it is a lot of fluid in muscles that I have not used in FOREVER!!! My Zumba gal that I don't really like has been gone all week so we have had subs. Those 2 subs made me work harder than I have ever worked at Zumba. EVER!!! My usual Friday gal is a beast, and she continued to be a beast today. I feel like I have had the week from Zumba Hell, but it feels so good!!!! Personally I wish I had these 3 gals every week, always. I know I would look and feel so much better. They kicked my butt, but I did not mind one little bit:)
It has been another rainy week in WA state and I can't tell you how old it is getting. I really need some sunshine..and soon!!! We are going to my 4 year old grandson's first baseball game of the season tonight. I am hoping for some dry weather. I love baseball, but not rainy baseball.
BFC wise, I am eating pretty much everything I used to eat, but sugar. That's why I believe that I can do this lifestyle forever. Moderation and low sugar! Yay!!!
Blessings and happy scales...and please come back:)
I know what you mean. Yeah where are they? Support is such a big key to weight loss success. I wish I lived near you - I would go to Zumba with you, probably kicking and screaming - but I would go.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :-)
I'm here! I love the support also. I was just going to do a post and saw yours. So, off I go...
ReplyDeleteMorning Kay! We left for Cali, looking forward to getting away from the rain and grey, and it's been gray and even kinda misty all week! At least it's warmer, but not nearly as much sun as I had planned! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm here...just my personal posting is 1x week. Yeah for you for Zumba-ing it up!
ReplyDeleteYou've done really great maintaining your weight--you're always within a lb or so. That's amazing.
Take Care-
I would soooooo Zumba with you.....AFTER I taught my children how to drive and quit my job! Hahaha. Somehow, I don't think that would go over well with my husband. My oldest turns 15 on Monday and then it's 365 days until she drives......WooooHoooo! I'm not excited or anything ;) I'm also sick of all the "May Gray" here in Calif. The last week was very gray and drizzly, but today it's sunny, even at the beach. Dawn finally gets some Cinco De Mayo sun down here. Maybe they will spend time at the pool catching some Vitamin D. Hope the game was fun! 4 yr old baseball is so stinkin cute!!!! 10 yr old baseball is really really boring (hence why I'm here and hubby's at the game) I was more interested in going to Home Depot to pick out paint colors for the outside of the house ;) Hope the weather perks up!

Kay - yay for you going to Zumba 3x! We have had pretty good weather in Central Ilinois this past winter and sprng (makes you wonder how the summer may be). We have had rain everyday this past week though and it does make one want to curl up with a book and comfort foods!
ReplyDeleteI hope your rain stayed away so you could enjoy the grandson's ballgame.

Hello Kay! I am guilty of being away. I so miss the time I spent on the blogs. I'm trying to stay up to date and to post, but I knew these months before the wedding were going to get crazy. Let's all stay together and hope that things settle down a bit after this busy spring!! Hugs to you from me!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay!! Love, love, love reading your blog. I have been guilt of being away as well. I always feel like I need time to write a lengthly post so I am going to try and post more often even if it's just a quick hello. Thank you for being consistent in your posts and for being a great example to the rest of us :)
