165.5 Back to the top :(

Well friends, I doubt if anyone is still reading this, but I am doing it for me, to hold myself accountable, and to follow my new journey. I have eaten my way up to higher than when I started the Belly Fat Cure 5 years ago. For 5 years I was able to control my weight, not to the lowest I wanted to be, but within fighting weight. I let sugar and white carbs back in daily....and here I am....unhappy with how I look and totally unhealthy...so unhealthy that I "grunt" when I bend down. We have a lot of snow and ice, and I use that as an excuse of not going to Zumba, even though I have the DVD's and plenty of options on my computer via youtube. I have extended the date that I would "start" so many times. My daughter in law is doing Isogenix, she lost 35 lbs since one of the times I was going to start! I have to do this, for me, for my future, for me health. I will do this. I can do this, and I pray that I don't forget how good it feels to feel good.

I can tell you that this isn't totally about looking good, I don't think I look "that bad". I feel "that bad". I feel out of breath, like a sausage in casing. I'm done. I want to be active, physical, healthy, limber, no aches and pains, heart healthy.

May God help me, I am going to need Him!!!

Blessings and Happy Scales...

147 and holding....

I just thought I would check in, even if it is just with "myself"!

I am back from my trip from GA to visit my grands and I finally feel like my old self! I always get sick after I visit, and this time, I was sick when I was there. I did manage to lose weight while there, and for the most part, keep it off since I've been home. Being sick does that for you! I FINALLY went back to Zumba yesterday, the first time in a almost a month! I am currently trying to figure out if I want to lose weight, or work on maintenance....I haven't gotten my answer to that yet. 

We had beautiful weather in Georgia and Florida, I came home with a tan, but it left once it saw our dreary weather. It was nice yesterday and I was able to finish a book in the sun. I love that kind of day! I am so ready for Spring/Summer!!!

Here's some of my favorite pics from my trip. God is good and I feel like He held my hand through a lot of the trip. Just saying....

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Sunrise over the castle...early entry

My daughter and I went to Cinderella, loved it!

We RUSHED to see Anna and Elsa for Konner and he would not go anywhere near them. Thus, he is missing!

Poor MK had pink eye :( 

One of my favorite times...Ohana breakfast at the Polynesian

Love Pooh

MK had the perfect Disney clothes!

Love Micky :)

OK, one more thing...when I went to my physical in August my Dr. had said I should probably wean off my hormones at some point, so I started to do that...from 1 pill...to 1/2 pill...to 1/2 pill every other day....and then my trip came up, and I was out of meds...Dr. wouldn't refill until I had my mammogram....I think that the hormones and the lack of them were a big reason that I was feeling so sluggish and bad. I actually got my refill last Friday, felt better by Sunday, went back to workout yesterday, and have slept a million times better since I am back on track. I had also quit taking my magnesium because it makes me go potty, back on that too! As of today...I feel GOOD!!! Yay....

149.6 UGH!!

Hubby and I had a bit of a weird flu type thing the entire week before Christmas. We could function, eat, etc. but it wasn't pleasurable...with that I managed to get down to my lowest....147. I had decided to give myself a week to eat sugar treats and I started shortly after Christmas with a gift that my daughter had bought me that had chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, pretzels, etc. in it. OMG...then I went on to all the candy, chocolate, cookies....all the goodies left over. When I finally stopped last Sunday, I had made it back up to 149.6. It has taken months to lose the 2 lbs...about 2 weeks to gain it back. I am hoping by starting fresh and back to my Zumba, it will disappear quickly. HA! 

I have been amazed at myself for 3 whole days. As I write this it is almost dinner time and I am having steak and salad. 3 days with no added sugar treats! Go me!!! I feel better in 3 short days, and I am shooting to lose at least another 10 lbs. I don't think I will ever get back down to my 132, I don't know if it is worth the life change to be at that weight. TODAY....I feel good! 

Thank you for people stopping by to say hello and that you are still around. I would love to stay connected. Blogging was a big part of my original success. 

Happy 2015!!!

Blessed :)

Still going...

Just checking in to say that I am still off sugar...no cheats...but no more weight loss. I am hovering about 148.5. I was sick for a couple of weeks with a cold and I didn't get my exercise in, that is my excuse, and I am sticking with it! I did break down and buy some new jeans, size 8 and they are not skin tight....progress!

My daughter and family gets here on Wednesday night from Georgia. I am over the moon! I haven't seen Madelyn in 4.5 months. She is 5 months old!!! Time flies...so fast....

Hubby finally agreed to new living room furniture, now I am not embarrassed to take pictures in there....so unbelievably happy :)

I hope everyone...anyone??? is doing well!
Blessings :) K

New tables are next!

Such a nice change from the floral stripes...

Konner was being goofy, not really picking his nose :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

What a month this has been! Full...very full of wonderful blessings. My new grandson was born on the 19th. His name is Casen Henry or Hank. My son now has his favorite baseball legends....Cy Young and Hank Aaron. Cool right? If you love baseball!

We are spending Thanksgiving with my new grand and family. Both of my sons will be there, that makes me happy. My 2 daughters are back in Georgia.

After 18 years, new sofas! 

So, so, so happy to say bye bye!

Sharing with my sweet friend Linda :)

I have struggled with how I am feeling "too Blessed" lately, I'm not complaining...just always waiting for the shoe to drop. I need to have Faith!

P.S. I was 149.4....Finally broke 150....YAY!!! 

Blessings and Happy Scales....

150.8 SO SLOW!!!!

I just wanted to check in and say that I am still being a good girl, I still haven't had any sweets, not a single bite of candy or goodies, and I am still losing so slowly :( Boo.....

However...I feel better, I know I have lost inches off my tummy, my bulge isn't as big. I still can't fit into my medium size jeans...not large...those are now....not small....those were 20 lbs ago...but medium...the ones that I bought when I was going to lose back down the time before this....confused??? Note to self, quit buying bigger clothes!!!!

7 weeks and 6.2 lbs...but as my husband would say....at least the scale is going down......

It is FREEZING here in WA state, I am so not ready to freeze. I am always cold and we have the house set at 68. Poor K :)

I hope if anyone is reading this that they are doing well, happy and healthy!

Blessings and happy scales...

Madelyn Kay looking fashionable today :)

Happy Halloween!!!

I just wanted to remind myself someday that I did NOT eat one single piece of the 450 pieces that we bought for Halloween! Pretty darn proud of myself :) I also know that I would not stop at that one piece and my last month of getting sugar out of my life would have been for naught! Woot, woot!!!

Happy....
