Thank you for being a friend...

So yesterday, a friend of mine was in a really sad mood, so I bought stuff to go make sundaes at her house to cheer her up.

I bought a low sugar ice cream and used minimal toppings  but I'm fairly certain I went over my sugar a bit yesterday.

But, it had to be done.

I think I'll go for a walk outside...

Weigh-in

Welp, it's weigh-in day.

I lost 2.4 lbs. from last week.

I'm not gonna lie... I'm a bit disappointed.   Not sure why, I mean it's a good amount... but I did so well all week ... at that rate I won't lose this weight for 4 months.  Heck, I won't even reach my short term goal by the end of the 30 day challenge!

As you see from my previous post, I was hoping to hit goal in 3 months.

That just means I need to step up my game.  Today I start exercising and I'm gonna try to keep my carb intake to 4 servings vs. 6.

Yay!

I did soooo well yesterday!

There was soo much yummy food goodness around and I was right on point with it!

So, so proud of myself! :D

Tomorrow is weigh-in!  Bring it on! :D

So far so good...

But... this is the eve of destruction.  Or so I'm trying to avoid.  You guessed it....

Tomorrow we are going to the beach -- ugh -- and there will be LOTS of food, snacks, desserts to be had (the group we go with are VERY accomplished packers!)

Anyhoo... today two things happened that made me go all "FML":

1) I went to the store to pick up a "slimming" bathing suit.  FAIL.  I looked horrible.  I'm not sure what kinda "slimming" the makers of those suits were shooting for but I'm guessing it's for those skinny people that complain about their "pooch" on their stomachs that, to me, look more like all they need to do is take a shit.

2) I went and saw my daughter's wedding pictures.  Exactly what I didn't want to see, I saw.  Fat mama.  The only pics that are semi-redeemable were the candid ones and that's just because at least in some of them I had a remotely flattering angle.

Look, the way I see it is this... I only want to lose 45 lbs.  I see bazillions of "I did it!" websites where people lost 3 times that much in a year.  I think it's reasonable to shoot for losing my 45 in 3 months.

Though, I'd prefer 3 days.  ;)

Mind over matter

Yesterday was a little tough.  I didn't cheat but I was feeling "snacky" and over-munched a bit.  

I also had my lowest level of water drunk in a day so far (40 oz.)

I went over my carb intake slightly but hit my sugar intake on the head.

Today will be better.

Pizza??

Last night I realized that on the BFC diet, I could have PIZZA!  2 slices even!

Two slices of pizza, an antipasto salad and 2 tbsp of dressing cost me 4 servings of carbs and about 10 of my sugar allotment for the day.

WORTH. IT!

I went over my sugar intake by about .375.

Not too shabby.

Today I'm doing well, not gonna have pizza again though... making a fish dinner. :)   I'm doing really well with water intake.... though I've yet to hit my gallon goal (that's a LOT of water!)

I am blowing away the "8 glasses a day" rule.... so there's that.  :)  I've had 40 oz so far today. :)

Come on Monday! <--- never thought I'd say THAT!

Let's see what that weigh-in will bring...

Wow...

Staying under 15 grams of sugar is tougher than I thought!

Sticking with it though!
