Success for 2!!!

Day 2, still hanging in!  Hubby and I went to Ivar's for fish today, but I only ate a couple of fries and 2 1/2 pieces of fish. It is WAY better than what I normally do. I have been doing this 4 minute workout from Dr. OZ's show. I did it twice yesterday and just once today. It is kind of fun and 4 minutes....piece of cake! Well not a piece of cake, my heart beat is still up there! I plan to get out the hand weights in a minute and do several arm exercises. I had an awful tummy today, I almost felt like I was in sugar withdrawals but it has only been a day, so I know I wasn't. I ate a whole bad of cadberry sugar coated eggs in 3 days. CRAZY!!!
Every day will get easier!!! Woot!

Belly Bad :( 

Our trees are so beautiful right now!

153.4 How did I get here???

Well my friends, today's the day to reclaim my life! I have to journal for me, I have to be accountable for me. I have got to do this. I am so miserable, not because I think I am huge, but because I remember what it felt like to be more fit. I have eaten my way through the weekend and it is going to be a journey to get back to where I want to be. Wish me luck!

Anyone else feeling the same way???

Blessings and happy scales!

Still haven't lost a lb :(

I am a little bummed, a bit sad, and big time disappointed that I can't get the scale to budge. I have continued eating like I did when I lost the 32 lbs the first time, but I think my yo-yo-ing has caught up to me. I am pondering which direction to go.  I know the key would be getting back to a regular workout schedule, but there is always something that comes up. I missed Friday because I had to have my hair redone. The gal made it way too blonde/orange and the cut was AWFUL! She put a glaze on it and added some dark back in, trimmed a few ends, and it looks just like it did before I went in the first place. It is REALLY hard to find a good hair person :(

The weather is still dreary, I am feeling dreary, I think I need some sunshine!

And with this negative Nellie post, I bid you adieu!

148 :(

Yep, I am a lb heavier than I was in my last post, I am 1.4 lbs down from when I started about 18 days ago. I am beyond discouraged and not a happy camper. To protest my displeasure, I didn't go to Zumba today! Doesn't that make a lot of sense to you???

I seriously have been "good". I have not had a sugar treat in 18 days, I have had many opportunities, including bunco and Dickies soft serve ice cream. I did not even taste. UGH!!!

It is warming up here and I am not going to be able to throw on my Northface fleece and walk out the door, having it cover a multitude of sins. I did this to myself, and now I have to un do it!!! A thousand curse words just went through my head!

Successes.....

We went to the movie Son Of God and I did not have popcorn with tons of butter!
We went to Dickies BBQ after and I did not have the soft serve ice cream cones!
I am eating spinach at least 5 times a week.
I have been going to Zumba 2x a week, today was a FAIL!
I have been eating a lot of protein....a lot!


The movie Son Of God was unbelievably moving. I cried through a lot of us, just because He is so forgiving. I love knowing the He loves me, sins and all. Fat and all too!

Let's do this people!!!

147... Baby steps....

Week 1 down! Successes?

1.  I did not eat any sugar treats, not a taste, not a bite. My sugars were low except when I would have a 1/2 of banana. Every once in awhile I just feel like a need a bit of banana, they are extremely healthy, they just have a lot of sugar:(
2. I did go to Zumba twice. We had a funeral in the middle of the week, so I could not go that day, but I could have gone the next? Twice was a success.
3. It's a week later and I still have my head wrapped around losing this weight again. That is a success to me, I don't want to let the power go.
4. I think I made it onto myfitnesspal every day. I may not log all of my food completely, but I logged on!
5. I lost 2.7 lbs!!!

I really was hoping that cutting the sugar would make me automatically lose 5 lbs, nope :( But...this week I am going to work a little more on cutting carbs. I am still eating out way too much, which I don't always make perfect choices, but they are the best choice for me. Small changes will add up!

For those of you who do not eat potatoes, I have eaten them almost every day. I grew up on meat and potatoes, will eat them until I die. I am willing to give up my white bread, I am not willing to give up my potatoes. Oh, I just thought of another success, I ate spinach almost every day last week! I had salad with my dinners, that's something I do NOT do when I am being a bad girl. My hubby accidentally bought Jalepeno bacon bits, instead of regular bacon bits and I will give them 2 thumbs up! They have a unique bite to them and add a lot of flavor on the nasty spinach salad!

Blessings and happy scales....

Hubby bought me headphones so he can listen to his rock music when we travel, they make me happy!

Today is the day people!!!

I am starting BFC fresh today! I have eaten my way up to 149.7 and I feel MISERABLE!!!
I am heading to Zumba, going back to basics, and I am actually excited. My horrible mood is due to the horrible things that I have been putting in my mouth.
If you are the praying sort, please pray for me to be strong, successful and determined! I did it before, I WILL do it again!
I am a sugar addict, plain and simple, I can't dabble. Thank God, I am not into alcohol or who knows what my drug of choice would be. Yikes!
Every day will be a step towards the scale moving down, and my health. Every minute is a choice, I need to make those moments count. I am turning 57 this year, almost 60 ;) and I deserve to be healthy!
Blessings and happy scales.....

Is anyone out there???

OMG, this has been quite the month. I had a great trip to GA, was sick when I came home, used every excuse known to man not to start eating right, have gained more weight, and  I am now truly miserable. I have not been back to Zumba, I have had every excuse for that too. Seriously worried about my mental health:(

Yesterday I was so hungry, I mean HUNGRY!!! I simply could not get enough food in my mouth, all bad things, and we didn't have staples like bacon to quell the cravings. I scared myself, and then I remembered that I had just finished taking the prednisone that had been prescribed for my sinus infection, and realized that some of the issues might be related. I have been so much better today, and we did go get my bacon, so I am prepared! It was scary to be so ravenous and be smart enough to know it wasn't normal. UGH!

I don't know when I am going to get back on track. I have been bad for far longer this time than my usual lapse. I told my husband that I wish that I could just sleep 3 days and get past the start over. 3 days without food would be a start!!! I think this weather, being sick, not working out, they have made me a bit depressed. I have to figure this out, and soon!

So...any who.....how are all of you doing? Anyone??? Hello.......

The one bright spot, I took my granddaughter shopping for a dance dress. This picture doesn't show how magical this dress looked on her. It made me teary. She had tried on some pretty "trashy" dresses and this was so her! She's a pretty one:) Glad that I am not raising her!!!!

YUCK:(
