I fell better today a little. Yesterday on facebook, on Sandy's Simple Recipies she posted a Ricotta pancake recipe. I made it for breakfast with some turkey bacon strips for me and hubby. We put some natures hollow sugar free preserves on top. I have to say it was very good and only about 10 carbs and 1 1/2 sugars each.
You just mix 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese and 4 eggs and mix real good and fry in some olive oil the whole thing, then flip. (I had to use two spatulas). Very different and very good. Thanks Sandy!!
Now for the really surprising news..............da duh da dum da duh da dum...
I am 180 lbs this morning. My jaw fell open and as usual I almost cried. I can't believe that I keep losing weight after doing it for over 6 1/2 months. And yesterday I had popcorn at the movies. But I only ate some chicken and vegetables for lunch to leave room for the extra carbs.
I still like crying right now. Must be the hormones again. LOL
Thanks for listening. Love to all of my BFC friends. Please leave your comments.
My thought for the day; Please believe in yourself that you can do this. And don;t cheat and don;t give up!!
Keep on BFc ' n :-)

I Feel like Mighty Mouse today!! |
Wow congratulations on the weight loss. I am sure that makes your day after feeling so blue huh? My week 2 weigh in is tomorrow and I am a little scared. I weighed a couple of days ago to check in on my progress and I am still the same weight. I know it will come and with all the support from my BFC friends I know it will happen. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteOh Rosalie! You sound like me! I too have had to deal with the hormonal thing for about 4 yrs now. I finally have gone a year without a period but I do still have the rollercoaster hormones. I am hoping as my body rids itself of the sugars, that my hormones will line up as well. Sugar wrecks havoc on hormones in the first place then you add menopausal years to that...well it can be H.E.Double Hockey Sticks for everyone concerned! You're doing the right things...maybe next time you start feeling that swing beginning...go soak in a tub of lavender or find a beautiful quiet place and sip on your fav beverage...focus on pampering yourself and not trying to fight it off or pretending you feel great (my issue!). I'm so proud of your weight loss AGAIN!!! Keep it up! I Need YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteThis SAME thing happened to me on Saturday afternoon, believe it or not. It is what sent me off the deep end, I caved and gave into my chocolate craving. Those hormones! I took Sunday "off" and it was the biggest mistake ever. You handled it SO well and that is such an inspiration to me. It is a reminder to me that I cannot just use my monthly period as an excuse for eating bad and going off the deep end! BRAVO for staying on track and losing even more!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is encouraging to see that you're still losing weight. Low-calorie diets always scare me, because I hear how people can lose weight at 1500 calories a day but then need to cut down to 1300 and then 1200 to keep losing. That just sounds horrible to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
