My Do OVER! : )

Well its been a while, but I had fallen off the wagon and didn't blog about my bad eating moments so now I am back to say I am going to do a "Do Over" with this BFC.  This time I am going to try my hardest to fight and have will power to keep on top of things.  I am starting at 216 lbs this time around.  My ultimate goal is to get down to 140 lbs.  My more short term goal is to try to lose about 10 lbs. per month.  

I have been following lots of peoples blogs like Rosalie and her great accomplishment of losing 70 lbs.  Amazing!!, Mini chick and her gluten free BFC lifestyle, Me and Jorge, and many other great blogs.  All these blogs have helped me be motivated to want to accomplish my goal.  I know I can do it, its just things have been stressful in my life and in those times I wanna make excuses of why I can't follow through with this diet or why I need that candy bar or french fries to make myself feel better.  Only to find out when I am done eating these things, I feel like total crap and also guilty that I have given into my emotions and ate something I knew I didn't need.  

I hope you will all follow my blog and help me with encouragement as I will helps others as well.

So far I had a big bottle of water and a Jalepeno Sausage Wrap from Quick trip 34g carb/3 g sugar

I am planning on running to the grocery store on my lunch break to grab some snacks for here at work.  Things like wraps, lunch meat, water, maybe some celery with peanut butter.  

Good luck to all of us!!

New cooking ideas, im running out

Well I know its been a long time since I posted a blog, but I have been really busy and just really didn't know what to blog about in recent times.  But Friday I ordered a new cookbook to help me with some more low calorie healthy recipes.  (still staying on the low sugar side or subbing a BFC sugar approved sub in place of real sugar)  I ordered the Betty Crocker 300 Calorie Cookbook that I saw in a Women's Day magazine last month.  Its has some really yummy ideas that I wanted to try.

I wanted to share this idea with everyone.  And I thought it might be fun if everyone else shared some ideas for coming up with new things to eat so this diet doesn't get to boring.  

What is everyone's most common three meals they eat?  I heard its good to eat basically the same sorta of things for breakfast and lunch everyday and then toss up a difference with dinner.  Anyone else heard this?  Like for example if you eat eggs each day that should be your breakfast, and if you like tuna salad each day that should be your basic lunch....I mean I know you can toss it up a bit, but it just helps your body stay stable or something I guess.  I am no expert that is why I ask this question.

Please share your food ideas.  We can all help one another by sharing. :)

Thank you and everyone keep up the good work!! 

Hungry Girl Recipes

http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/index.php

Anyone heard of Hungry Girl?  She has some great recipes listed on her site.  Like swap this for something you like and she shows you exactly what to substitute.  I know most of my fellow bloggers are following the BFC, but you can use several of her recipes on this particular diet as well because we know what ingredients we can have and not have.  But I thought it was pretty interesting when I came across this site looking for new recipes to try and thought I would share with everyone.  

Tried the Dukan Diet but back to BFC

Okay everyone, its been a while since I blogged but I didn't have much to write about because I wasn't following my diet to well so I didn't want to share my downfalls and cheats with everyone to make them feel down.  But anyways I tried again to go back on a diet and did the Dukan Diet for a day or two and I just have to say even though it claims that you will lose weight fast in the attack phase....its quite hard to keep on because it took away all of my energy.  I thought I could just do the attack phase for 10 days like it stated to jump start my weight lose and lose the 10lbs. but after a day or two I was so weak, tired, and had a major headache from just eating fat free diary and high amounts of protein.  So my mind has been made up, that BFC is by far the best diet overall because its healthy and its learning a healthy way of eating for life not all these different phases.  I am going to stop trying all these diets and just put my foot down and know that this is beneficial for my over all health.  

Its been a great two years!!!

First I just wanna say I have enjoyed blogging!!  Its helped me make some goals and new blogger friends. : )  Today is a new day on my diet and I have set forth to try to lose at least 10 lbs. per month as a new goal and see how close I can come to achieving this goal.  

Today is mine and my hubbys anniversary, today we have been married two years!!  Its been hard at times but every hard time has been worth the amazing times with my wonderful husband.  My soulmate, my best friend!!  I love him so dearly.  

So here I set forth on a new year in my marriage and new goals in my life.  Here I am come new way of life, back to the BFC.

Week 5 and I am not giving up!

Here I am onto week five.  I had a whole weekend of cheating meals and realized even when I was losing weight slowly on the BFC probably due to my thyroid issue I felt better then I do when I ate the carb filled/sugar filled foods.  Yea it was nice to have that junk food in the process of eating it, but after wards I was sorry I ate it.  I had stomach pains and just felt totally guilty I was giving in to my diet plan.  I am going to try to stick to the BFC and maybe mix it in with the South Beach and try to jump start the diet with extremely low carbs the first two weeks to eliminate my cravings again.  Good luck to everyone still staying strong on their diet.  I am proud of those who have stuck to it.  I know I can too, I just got discouraged for a while but with all of your kinds words in response to my last blog post, I feel like I should give it another attempt. 

I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!!

I AM NOT GIVING UP!!

I WILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL TO BE A SLIMMER, HAPPIER, HEALTHY WOMAN!!

 

Week 4 Not going so good....

Well so far week 4 isn't going so well :(

Not sure what is wrong, but I have been eating healthy.  I don't even eat the total amount of carbs and most times I believe I am eating the right good high fiber carbs and nothing is happening to my weight so far this week.  :(  I am very sad and discouraged.  I don't know if I should try South Beach or Atkins just for something different for a while and then come back to BFC or what.  I have had a total stall and I should not be having one.  Right now I am at 208 and still have lots of weight to lose before I reach my goal of 140.  It should come off cause I have hardly cheated at all.  Just last Sunday but Monday started a new week and I have been eating healthy since then.  Maybe its because things don't pass through me correctly.  I don't really know.  Sorry for the venting, but I just needed to whine to someone.

I AM SO MAD!!!
