No miracle weight loss, but I'll take it!

I was down a whopping 2 lbs in 7 days....UGH.....I thought for sure when I gave up bread, cookies, cake, candy bars, diet soda, chips, ice cream....etc....I would magically lose 10 lbs! No such luck. I do feel better though. Honestly my belly is still there, but that 2 lbs made a difference in how uncomfortable it is. 

I missed Zumba today because our power went out at 6:00 this morning. This is the 3rd time in a month. It has gotten really old. Just about the time our ice maker starts working again, the power goes out. The first time was 12 hours, 15 hours, then 3.5 today. I think our power company needs to start upgrading some lines and transformers. 

I LOVE the original BFC, I am glad to see that it seems to be working again for me. The simple things in life :) 

Life at K's house is good, God is good, happiness feels good :)

I'm back....................................

Hello again :) I had my physical last Thursday, I have gained 10 lbs in a year :( I have gained 20 lbs from my low after starting the BFC. When she looked at my chart, I have weighed 143-144 for the last 3 years, until this year:( I weighed 153 lbs. She politely suggested that I lose the weight. The good news is that I have lowered my cholesterol to an acceptable level. That just makes me laugh!!! I have eaten worse and exercised less, in the last 2 months than I have in the last 3 years. And my cholesterol is lower??? I'll take it!

I went back to Zumba 2 weeks ago. I have gotten in my 3x a week for 2 whole weeks :) Believe me, it took every bit of will power to get there. EVERY single bit. It's a start. But I have had lunch plans several days a week, hubby and I still have date dinners, it's been an all out eating frenzy since before I left for Georgia. Honestly, for months.

So here's what I learned when I measured myself today. My arms and my legs have not gotten bigger. My boobs and my gut have taken on 10 lbs. My butt is only 1/2 inch wider than my waist. I am a true apple. Actually when I told my husband, he asked what fruit I am now, and I said I am a f!@king apple. Please excuse my curse words, but that is truly what I said. When I got my cholesterol results back (prior to my actual Dr. visit) and was so proud of the results, he said "yes, but she hasn't weighed you yet!" Yes, he is still alive.....I am forgiving of him because he has to listen to me complain all the time.

So.....what am I going to do? I am going to go back to the basics, or at least to the best of my human ability. I have lunch plans on Wed, and Thursday, but I think I can work around it. We are also going to the Oregon Coast the first of next month, and potentially a Mariner's game later this month. When I travel, all bets are off. I need to wrap my head around success. The good thing at the Coast is we are staying in a condo with a full kitchen, that way we don't have to eat out twice a day. UGH!

Because I know you will, please wish me good thoughts...I honestly hate this bulge that taunts me when I sit down. Winter and jeans are coming...........YIKES!!!
Blessings and happy scales....

Full heart! Baby Madelyn Kay, Karson and Konner :)
