Success Is A Process...

Good Morning Friends,

I will just start quickly with what I ate yesterday;
Breakfast, a omelete made w/mushrooms and baby spinach and cheese, turkey bacon and a lemon-coconut flour muffin and berries.

Lunch; 1 piece of cabbage lasagna.

Then we went to the movies; We saw Contraban w/Mark Whalberg. Liked it. I had popcorn (no butter) Then we were bad and snuck into We Bought A Zoo.  Loved it, mad me cry a few times. I ate 2 squares of Lindt 85% chocolalt I had in my purse.

Dinner; buffalo wings and broccoli and a bit of cabbage.

So today is the 1 year anniversary of my dad's death.
This was last Dec before he died. He was always being silly and making faces like that.  and food on his face. 
I thought I would pick up Maria and take her to this deli that my dad always wanted to go back to before he died, but we didn't get to. Canter's Deli on Fairfax in LA. So I called her and she said she is going to church So I said what about after? She said she was crying all day yesterday cause he died on a Saturday. I said; you can't be sad every Saturday! Today is the day he died. Lets go in his honor. But she was too upset, it was a thought.

So maybe this morning I will do some gardening (pull weeds and stuff) since we have to do that ourselves now. But it's supposed to rain so we will see.

My breakfast this morning;
turkey bacon, poached eggs in my microwave egg thingy, 2 lemon coconut flour muffins w/cream cheese and blueberries in the middle. YUMO

Debora K is down 6lbs that I noticed. Way to go GIRL!!

Angie has started her own blog, http://yearonbfc.blogspot.com/ so lets everyone go over and support her and all the other blogs on my list below.

Dawn M; I was scared o go out anywhere for like the first 2 months. It was very hard for me to see and smell all that food. Don't worry about it just move on, but next time just do like I do; Eat everything BFC and then Take 1 thing that you really want (for me it was always desert) and take 1-3 bites and then walk away. That way you get to taste it and you feel like you aren't such an ALIEN.

Support is a main key in our success!!! That and just NEVER GIVE UP!! NO matter if you are losing this week or not, just don't stop what you are doing and the weight has no where to go but off.

Thanks for listening to me today. Lots of love to Everybody. and remember WWRD??

This is PurpleRosy signing off...

My thought for the day:


Success Is A Process

Success is not a place that we aspire to, it is a process in which we live by. Often the only ingredient being the ability to not quit.

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)

  3. {{{HUGS}}} How are you doing today? The "first" everything is so difficult. You don't realize how many firsts there are until you go through that first year after a loss. We lost our son, and although it's nearing two decades since then, there are still moments that catch me off guard and leave me crying. I hope you are doing well.

  9. IM REALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THE CARB COUNT:

    FOR BREAKFAST IT ADDED UP TO 15 CARBS, WHICH IS 1 SERVING OF CARBS RIGHT?

    FOR LUNCH, IT ADDED TO 30 CARBS, WHICH IS 2 SERVINGS, RIGHT?

    SO DO I HAVE 3 MORE SERVINGS LEFT???

    1. Don't be cunfused, you are right about the amounts, but you don't have to eat all 6 servings of carbs if you don't want. And if you don't eat any carbs with dinner it will certainly help you to lose better.

      Make sure that you are adding up the totals in all the foods you are eating together for each meal.

      Just make sure you are getting enough fiber. :-)

  10. thanks! i havent told you, but i read your posts all the time and i had the pizzas tonight! thats why i was confused because it added up to 30 carbs for dinner with my salad.. etc.. thanks! youre awesome! i read your poss every day!

    1. NO, I am a big sweet fan as you know. I just try to make sure that the numbers fit and not go over 5/2 for each meal - that will include the desert too. Just make sure you are eating BFC friendly stuff only and try to be done with all your food by 7-7:30 pm at the latest.
      Just try not to eat too much at night. I never eat carbs with dinner :-)

  12. Thinking of you and Maria I know it is hard to lose a loved one and when the anniversary of their death comes around brings lot of emotions. Have a great week!

  13. Sorry about your Dad. I'm reading your early blogs and did not know he passed. You were still visiting him where I'm reading so your blog today caught me off guard. My thoughts are with you & your sister. They say it gets easier but that's not true (I know from experience -mom 25yrs. ago). It just changes over time. Celebrate him or mourn him anyway you see fit. Definitely go to the deli and have a few laughs in his honor.

    1. When I looked up Sorbitol it says it's a sugar alcohol which is counted under carbs. What do you have with that in it?

Some tips if you are having trouble

  • First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
  • Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
  • Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
  • Make sure you drink lots of water.
  • Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
  • Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
  • Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
  • Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.

I hope this helps.
