Weigh in:( But a roll is gone!!!

Well my belly fat is leaving, but my weight is still up. I am actually not as bummed as I thought I would be because there may be some reasons, and they are good health reasons.
1. I quit taking my anti depressants several months ago and I am so proud of me! Does that make a difference? who knows?
2. I am taking 1/2 of my BP pill, which includes a diuretic. Water weight? I also ran out of my diuretic I take with it that is a more powerful one than one I currently have. Of course a simple call to the Dr. to have it refilled has not happened yet. CRAZY girl!
I could be making excuses for myself, but I am giving myself a break from being angry that the weight is not just "melting" off!

I have been back at Zumba for 3 weeks today. I am so happy when I am there, but I swear I talk myself out of going all the way there! It's so bizarre??? Thankfully the good angel on my shoulder wins. Today was a crappy day out and there were 100's of kids there, I love kids....but 100's...and loud and running around??? I must be too old!

My day started at 7:15 with a text from my DIL that she tested positive for pregnancy again. It hasn't been hardly any time since we went through the devastation of her not being pregnant. As happy as I am, I am VERY cautious. God Bless her that she is trying again. Prayers on her behalf would be most appreciated.

My FAVORITE author also died today. I am so sad:( Vince Flynn was an amazing man and I loved his character Mitch Rapp. He evidently was involved in the new "24" series so I plan to watch it to honor him.

I am having no issues staying away from sugar, still having too many carbs a day. I am thinking I am formulating a plan of action for a few days to jump start. Meat, I love meat.....I just have to have it handy.

Blessings and happy scales....

Day 10, not much in the weight loss progress....but.....

I think all of my yo yoing over the last several months has caught up to me. I believe I said this same thing in a post several months ago:( Lessons are hard to learn.

I have been back to Zumba for about 2 1/2 weeks, going consistently and feeling much better each time. I have been very good BFC wise about 90% of the time. 

It was my son's 34th birthday on Wednesday and I wasn't very good that evening. I made homemade potato salad and since it takes a lot of time, I figured I would make sure it was really good! No cake, no sugar, no cookies, etc...but carbs still call my name. My son's Dad and I got divorced when he was about 6 months old. He really turned out to be a good man, and it is always fun to reminisce about former friends and family. Our spouses are kind to allow it:) Anyway, he could be a character off of Duck Dynasty. He has a long gray beard and wears camo clothing all the time. He also drives a camo painted truck!  He looks like Santa! We could not be more different in every way except for the love of our son. He just found out that his dad that died before he was even born had 3 other children. So he has 3 brothers that are in the late 70's. Can you imagine? My granddaughter Cadence spent the night Wednesday night and was having a teenage melt down. It brought back a lot of memories and reminded me why I am too old to have a teenager!!!

I feel good, I can conquer yet again, and I will get back in the 135 area someday. I'm not sure if I want to get to the 132.9 which was my all time low, I was there such a short time! I still haven't weighed straight away in the morning because I don't want to be discouraged. I can tell by my clothes that I haven't lost much. UGH!!! 

Life is good at K's house! I am loving the onset of summer! 

Kayce and I send pictures to each other when we are in the car, I know weird:)

3 Days in, not perfect on carbs, but I am on sugar!

I am so proud of me! I haven't weighed in because I don't want to be bummed if I didn't lose anything. I know, 3 days and I expect miracles!!!
Today was my first full 3x week of Zumba. I was really, really, really struggling today. I have tried to keep the carbs out of breakfast and I had no energy....ZERO!!! ZERO!!! Did I say ZERO???

Basically the last 3 mornings, I have had eggs and bacon. Wednesday I did have a piece of bread with poached eggs instead of scrambled. I think that piece of bread helped, just saying. I did eat out on Wednesday at 5 Guys. I took 1 bun off and had about 5 fries and some peanuts. Myfitnesspal calculated way over on carbs, but I didn't have the whole bun. Last night we ate at Costa Vida. I had a small chicken nachos with extra chicken. I basically ate chicken and a few chips dipped in queso. Not low cal by any means, but yummy just the same. I don't eat sour cream, guac, or pico, so I do save a few calories.
For lunch today I made a yummy steak and spinach salad, and dinner was  a shake and bake pork chop about 1/4 cup of potatoes with spinach and a bit of gravy. I did have dessert of strawberries, cool whip and candied pretzels. A good, satisfying and under calorie goal day.

I think I have a good plan for the weekend, so I am confidant that I will be successful. But any wishes of good luck are welcome:)

I will tell you what I love about the BFC. It fits me. I am so weird with my "taste buds" that I can eat my weird way and it works. Or it did, we will see!

I went to my grandsons last game of the season last night. I was so proud of how far he has come this year. He actually fielded the ball and threw out the runner at first 3x in a row! He also hit the first pitch his first 2 at bats and hit the pitcher in the "nuggers" his last at bat. He is only 5, well, he'll be 6 in a couple of weeks.

Life is good at K's house!
Blessings and happy scales....Woot to those of us who are still keeping on! No matter what plan we are doing, we have a common goal, to be healthy at a healthy weight....Right?
