Almost ready:)

I am sitting here at 9:35 AM and I should be at Zumba. Since I made the choice not to go, I decided to blog about what I am going to do!
I am actually excited to step back into the original BFC and be committed! I will tell you why...
1. I so miss putting on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and knowing that I looked good. No belly rolls, smooth without a shaper!
2. I so miss sitting in a chair and looking down at my tummy and seeing nothing. No roll...what??? I remember so many times a day I would look down and be so proud of what I had accomplished! No roll? Wow!!!
3. I felt so much better when I was being good. I was accomplishing something.
4. Exercise feels good. It makes me get out, socialize, and move.
5. My husband was proud of me too. I know you don't lose weight for other people, but he does so much for me, it felt good to lose weight in part for him.
6. I have the time, energy and resources to make this happen!
7. I'm not getting any younger:)
8. I have a new grandson on the way!!!
9. I will be getting on an airplane!
10. Christmas is coming and I want to look like I looked last year!

So those are my motivations, now how am I going to get there?
1. BFC baby!!! 15/6 NO MORE LAY's POTATO CHIPS!!!
2. Zumba and added exercise!
3. Eat slowly....my husband noticed that I am scarfing my food down again, I am. It's like I am obsessed with getting enough crappy food in my mouth before the big day!
4. Eating 1/2 of alot of my BFC friendly staples. Such as my sausage/potato/egg dish. Instead of a whole potato I will eat 1/2. 1 sausage patty instead of 2 and 1 egg.
5. BIGGY.....I will go back to eating the top or bottom bun and not both. Or just the burger. I will once again limit my fries to just a couple, not the whole order!

HUGE changes that I have made and stuck with:
1. Diet soda, VERY rarely....it's ice tea with stevia in the raw for me. I drink tons of water, love water!!!
Did you know that drinking "ice" water helps with metabolism? And "warm" water before a meal helps your stomach feel full?
2. Sugar treats? No, I can count on 1 hand the number of times that I have eaten something with sugar. I actually think the only time I have is when I had coffee cake in Missoula a couple of months ago.
3. Real milk...nope, still don't drink it. I always have UVAM on hand. I don't usually just grab a glass, I have it in other things, but I don't think I have had milk since I started this journey in March 2011.
4. Spinach. I had never even tasted it before BFC. I like it, not love it, but I eat it!
5. Vitamins. I have been really consistent with getting them in every day and have convinced my husband to take them too. I know they are good for me!

I did go to Zumba 2x last week! I loved it and loved seeing my buddies.
I have bunko at my house tomorrow night! I am excited and have quite the feast planned. I do not have granite:( But I did not hold my breath and I am still alive!

Hubby is gone for his first day of work. It involves driving across the state for orientation in Seattle and then home again. A very long day in the car. Of course the company car is the only color out of about 10 options that I did not want. Beggars can't be choosers! I feel like we are driving around my H.S. color! I wore blue and gold for 3 years back in the day! Now we have a royal blue car. Yippee!

Blessings and happy scales:)
