Still trying to find my bfc groove

Hello everyone, what a week. First of all we found out that someone had gotten hold of my husband's credit card number and probably had a new credit card made with out number. We were alerted by the credit card company when they had used the wrong zip code while getting gas. Crazy huh, when I told my folks about it they said the same thing happened to them last month.

Food wise I did great this week, I did not cheat at work even though there was a ton of bad stuff to eat there. My work place loves to have potlucks for any occasion, we have had two in a row. It is so easy for me to mindlessly eat while at work. It is especially hard for me to stay away from chips and salsa. I had learned during my time doing the bfc that chips are my downfall. Once I start I can just eat and eat and eat. I have counted them out before and just ate one serving, but that is really hard one serving is usually 14-17 chips.

I also did not have any candy from the candy drawer. It is so easy to tell myself that the bite size candy bars are so low in sugar or calories that I can have several and it won't hurt me...I just googled bite size butterfinger and they have 3.67g sugar and 33 calories. Which is not super bad, but not helpful if you are trying to lose weight. Plus it's hard for me to have just one, once I start I want at least a couple more. Another thing that I did great in this week was not drinking more than two glasses of wine at a time, which is big progress for me because I LOVE red wine.

I feel like I am still trying to find my groove in several areas especially getting back into the bfc groove. I had been in denial so long about how I was doing that it is taking a lot of effort to get my mind back in the game. I guess it will come with hard work and time. I guess that's all for now have a great weekend everyone.

  1. Great job at work - looking away from all that food - I know how hard that was.
    One step at a time :-)

  2. Good for you on staying away from the treats. I'm glad that I'm in sales and don't have to deal with all of the food and donuts in the office. I've had office jobs and that was always difficult. I hear ya on the wine...it's my downfall, too, although, I'm pretty much where I need to be with my weight. In terms of the credit card fraud, I've seen and heard about so much crime in the last several weeks. I think people are getting crazy and desperate with this economy! So sad! Have a great week and keep up the great work!

  3. I think it will always be a struggle to eat the BFC way. Our whole world is geared towards carbs and sweets. It was really hard in Italy and I didn't do well with all the pasat. Fortunately, I can start fresh again, and I have. I guess there will be ups an downs, and we just have to stick together for support. Take care. XO

  7. I think we are all going to have a good BFC Fall. It seems easier to me when I have jeans that need to button without the muffin top! I am really looking forward to getting back in the groove, I have been surrounded by CARBS!!!!
