136.6 :)

Halloween with Cy

Gosh, I have been so lazy on blogging! I am lazy on responses to you guys too...sorry:( I read the blog, have good intentions, then I am too lazy to think of something to type! Crazy right?

The new family on Karson's birthday!

Well here is my vacation update! I got home and I had actually lost weight down to 135.8. I had lost 2.9 lbs! I had said on myfitnesspal that I may need to rent a 3 year old to chase around every once in awhile. I know the reason that I lost was because I was so much more active than I am at home. I have since gained almost a lb back, but I have resumed my laziness and have still not gone back to exercise. I was so excited to go to the Dr. last Monday about my bladder and they called and cancelled until this next Friday. I am just hesitant to exercise and hurt myself again. I have found it so easy and freeing to come home and get right back to BFC basics. I still fail a lot of the time to make good choices, but MOST of the time I do, and that is what counts. My pants feel better, I feel better. I think my sweet spot on weight is 132-135, I have some work to do.

I met a friend of my daughters' while in GA last year that had gastric bypass and had lost 75 lbs. This gal is only at the most 5'1 so that is a LOT of weight. This year she had lost all of her extra weight, I think over 100 lbs and was having her excess skin removed on Halloween. She looked amazing and without the skin I would guess she will be a size 0. Any-who...she put at least 10 packets of splenda in her coffee. I was shocked!!! They were just like spread out all around her cup? Not a giant coffee either??? So weird? My daughter gets "pissy" when I talk about sugar, so I didn't mention it? I am thinking she has an insatiable sweet tooth? Kayce said she is very disciplined in her eating so she is going to keep the weight off, but 10 packets of spenda??? My personal observation was that splenda did not keep her from losing all of her weight. It may be very bad for her, but that is her decision. I am in no way condoning splenda or artificial sweetener use, but as we see with Amber's sister, it sometimes fills the need. What is so weird for me is to take a bite of something that I previously LOVED and it tastes so sweet that it makes me pucker like sour. I bought some giant malt balls, I know-I know, but I love them and I wanted to share with my grandson. I took 1 bite and couldn't eat the other 1/2. It was just too....too... disgusting??? But I ate my whole pecan praline no problem? Weird?

I am going to try and bore everyone by posting more starting next week. I want to be accountable, and I want to encourage that there is life in the BFC even if we aren't perfect! And I don't want to gain over the HOliday's:)

Shock, surprise, happy:)

I love them:)
