148.5 Slowly moving down....

I wanted to share some challenges and successes for the week with someone, anyone??? Just kidding :)
Anyhoo....

We celebrated my little sister's 50th birthday at her nursing home on Monday. I made the mistake??? of getting her a small cake from the bakery that we purchased my daughter's wedding cake from. OMG! I had already prepared myself that I could have a bite or two, but I have NEVER tasted anything so good, or so full of memories. I honestly could have eaten a sheet cake. Thank goodness it served 4 of us, and I just ate a bit, but oh did I enjoy it. I was nervous that it would send my body into sugar cravings, but it really didn't, and I got back on track on Tuesday. Today I got home from Zumba and I was ravenously hungry, and I'm not kidding, ravenous! I had some Olive Garden leftovers in the freezer that I reheated and it calmed the storm. Hubby offered to go get pizza for dinner tonight and I said no.....NO????? What????? We had BBQ steaks and I had spinach with some cucumber and celery. (choked it down) That is HUGE!

We went to my grandson's baseball game last night and had eaten Arby's, so I figured I would be good today. I only eat the bottom bun, and about 10 curly fries. I am losing very slowly, but I don't feel in the least bit deprived.....so far!!!

Zumba 3x this week is a huge plus too. I found out today that they are redoing the gym floor again 2 weeks before I leave for Georgia and my new granddaughter. That means no Zumba for at least a month. Will I do something else? Let's hope!

Did I mention that my DIL is also preggers? She wanted to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone and she is about 13 weeks! I am going to have 6 grandchildren!!! Just typing it made me sigh with happiness :)

I hope everyone is well and happy :) Blessings and happy scales...........

Aren't they the cutest ever?

Blessed!

3rd year of baseball and it's so fun!!!

149.2 Finally a drop :)

I am still chugging away at BFC and I finally feel like I am in the groove. It feels good, I feel good. Just about the time I get the weight back down, I will be headed off to Georgia for my new granddaughter...and then.....
I will start all over again......................................................

I went to yet another new girl to have my hair done today, she is 25, and my hair looks like a 25 year old. I love the cut, like the top color, but the bottom is dark, dark brown. I sent a pic to my daughter and she said that she didn't want to hurt my feelers, but I needed it fixed. Honestly????? I was there for 3 1/2 hours!!!! I LOVE being older, more "mature", but this looking good thing is killing me! And she has a salon in her home so I thought it would be less expensive? I have been paying 100.00, it was 125.00!!!!!!!!!! UGH!

So, with that I will say "good evening and have a Blesssed day tomorrow"!
Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!

My soon to be 35 year old son...how did that happen???

Day 11 and still hanging in!

I am very sad to say that I have lost a total of 2 lbs, but I am NOT giving up and I am not turning back to bad habits. I am just eating a way that I can do "forever". I have not had any sugar treats, and I am really trying to stay within the 15/6 BFC guidelines. I know I have lost a few inches, but it will be another couple of weeks before I can fit into my regular jeans. BUMMER!!!

BUT....I am happy, feel better, and know I am on the right track. It would be really nice if it was instant gratification :)

We have had 2 days of beautiful sunshine and I have sat out for about 40 minutes each day. I have a nice color going already and that makes me happy too. I love the sun!!!

Someone had posted on the 100 site that the 100 book was 1.99 on Amazon for the Kindle edition. I bought it and plan to look through it later. I seriously don't see how I could ever restrict my carbs that much, but I know some people do. I'm shooting for the lifetime thing! I am 57 years old, I want to get a grip :) I have about 2 months before I go to Georgia and then start this whole darn cycle all over again when I eat my favorite treats there! Ugh!

I feel HAPPY!!! Not skinny....but HAPPY :)
Blessings and happy scales.....

My Matthew and I at my birthday lunch :)
