Well Good Morning Folks,
I Miss you Carey so I changed the comments back to anonymous - just for you. :-) Be warned you people that try sneaking in your comments with links to you crazy websites that have nothing to do with us - they will be deleted.
So after over 5 months and so much stress and a lot of arguing about it - we finally signed the papers yesterday. Come Monday we will have to bring the rest of the deposit and hopefully if all goes well, it should close by Friday. Yeah we actually get a fresh start.
I was just chatting with Kay on FB and told her - but I will tell you too. Hubby has been working nights and Thursday night I got woken up to a car driving by the street behind our house and heard them shoot a gun 4 times out the window. It sounded like it was straight at our block wall behind us. My window faces that way and was open. When Hubby got home in the morning I told him and he said "why didn't you call me?" I said why so you can worry all night?
We will will both be so glad to be out of here. We will be broke cause we have to put 20% down but at least we can be happy. I will start packing next week I guess at least the stuff I don't need like nic-nacs and books and stuff. This happens to coincide (Is that the right word?) with the week that Jorge wants a few of us to try his new The 100 book. I'm pretty sure I will NOT be able to do it and this time. Sorry
This was my breakfast yesterday morning;
berries, turkey bacon and a muffin made with all the usual stuff-
1 egg, 1tb of coconut oil, cinnamon, stevia, bkg pwdr, USVAM, then 1tb of each; coconut flr, flaxseed, and almond flour- I added in some crushed walnuts and blueberries and put my homemade butter on top and the last bit of the coconut butter on 1 half and some sunflower seed butter on the other. Such a good muffin.
Lunch was 1 zucchini sliced lengthways in 4 slices, rubbed EVOO on both sides and put in toaster oven - browned on both sides then added a little hummus, cheese, tomato and turkey bacon.
We were running out the door to go sign the papers so I ate 2 of my cookies on the way out the door.
It was so hot yesterday - about 95 and up. It was even so hot 93 at 5pm. But at 5:30 me and the furry girls went anyway. My poor Peaches who is 13 now I guess is getting a bit slower lately and tired faster. But I make her go and she still loves it. I'll keep dragging her if I have to every day - we all need the exercise to stay healthy.
Dinner was a spinach salad with a bit of feta cheese and bacon bits and some 1g of sugar dressing and a left over pork chop hubby brought home for me from the FD.
OK - confession - I ate 2 more of those cookies and a little rediwhip. Well they are super small anyway. He-he.
Thanks for listening and have a great day.
This is PurpleRosy signing off...
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Stevia Chart
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.

ReplyDeleteadd my congrats to the list! Sylvia
Thanks for allowing anonymous comments :)...I've still read all of your posts, even though I couldn't comment. I also look at your blog when you don't post to see all the other Girls blogs. It's just easier to save one blog and then look at it to see who has a new update. Also, I just made your Kale chips (where you turn the oven off so you don't burn them......because I ALWAYS burn them) and they are awesome!!!!! Actually, I made 2 batches and my 10 yr old son ate a whole batch! Classic because he isn't a big veggie fan! I seasoned them with olive oil and some chili lime salt....Holy Cow they are good!
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers for you on the house....we've been through atleast 5 escrows in the last 15 yrs and I know how they go, so I won't jinx you by congratulating you, yet ;) So scary on the gun shots! That would've totally freaked me out. Here's to positive thinking on a quick move!

Yaaaaaaaay House!!! Keep Us Posted.....yaaaaay
