I may be losing weight at a snails pace, but I am regrouping, relearning, and recommitting to being healthy once again. I have really surprised myself with my ability to say "no" to my trigger foods, and eat less of the food that I allow myself. I am back in the spinach groove, and I haven't bought any white bread or rolls for 3 weeks!!! Orowheat multi grain sandwich thins are back in my life. I dislike them, but I have to have bread!
Yesterday was a day that I want to congratulate myself for! I only ate 3/4 of my sandwich at lunch...ever little bit helps...and I did not eat my popcorn at the movie. That was huge for me, I love to slather the fake melted butter on my popcorn, to the point of leaving grease stains on my pants, but I didn't! I also went all through Costco and handed off all of my goodies, including mini candy bars to my hubby. It is getting easier. And I feel better. I will be much happier in another 10 lbs, but for now, I am seeing some light!
I am LOVING my Fitbit. It seems crazy that a little device that I wear on my wrist would make such a difference in my sedentary lifestyle, but it does. On Zumba days it is easy to get in 10,000 steps, but on my off days...it's a huge challenge for me. I find myself walking around the house in circles, saying BEEP, BEEP at the door to the downstairs where my husband is (I love to annoy him) and adding up those steps and minutes of activity. I feel better...that's the second time I have said that in this post!
We went to see the movie Fury yesterday. War is hell, and we have such amazing men and women that fight for this Country. May God Bless them. My son in law goes to Ranger school on November 2nd, any prayers and good wishes would be greatly appreciated! I am so proud of him and my daughter for keeping their home and family going.
We finally got all of our new appliances in and working. It took 4 times...yes 4 times...to get a refrigerator that was not damaged in shipping. We went with the new slate color and I LOVE it. Since the granite never worked out, we went with new appliances instead. I have picked out a new refrigerator before, but never all new appliances, it was quite fun and exciting at 57 years old. My gas stove has a built in grill on top and a convection over feature. I have used that for almost everything I have made. Love it....but for anyone that might have a convection oven....I thought it cut the cooking time? It really doesn't for me?
I feel happy....and it feels good.....The colors outside are beyond beautiful, though our weather is getting colder....I am not a fan of winter.
What great pictures and a beautiful family and beautiful kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you for the spinach and thins. Every little bit helps. You Go Girl! :-)
Kay, you are doing it on step at a time.vGood job on all the little changes that add up. Don't know what's going on but I don't get email notifications of new blog posts anymore. I have commented on Rosalie's blog and sent a message to her but not sure she's getting it as there is no response. I am still totally wheat free. It is so easy and cuts out all temptation and cravings. That is what works for me. I am a slow loser but have not gained, so that's all ask. XO!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom following your blog, I know you really wanted the new counter top. Your kitchen looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the family pics. Your oldest granddaughter is growing up! Beautiful family.
I need to re-read the blogs (Pattie's, Rosalie's, yours) to get re-motivated! Thanks for blogging.
Good to hear you are getting back into the groove, Kay! whoo hoo!
