11/1: 157.8 down 1 pound so far this week. Did really well no candy last night, but we did take out. Still good today!
11/8: 155.6 yeah!
11/15:154.5 I'll take that. So close to the 140's!
11/22: 154.8 Did great all week. Was lower yesterday. Made pies and appetizers for Thanksgiving and had some drinks while doing that. I feel like next week is just going to be a recovery week.
11/29: 155.0 I guess I have lost a couple of pounds. Not 5 though. We will see tomorrows final weigh in for November

11/1: 103.2
11/8: 99.6
11/15: I will be on vacation and the chance of me seeing a scale is slim to none
11/22: 104.2- well nearly 2 weeks in Hawaii did lead to weight gain, which is frustrating, however I feel like I failed far better than many of the people I was on this trip with. While I’m a bit discouraged I’m excited to get back on track.
11/29: 102.8 Glad my weights dropped post-vacation. Might not have gotten to where o want to be but I’m back to being headed in the right direction.

11/30: 153.8 I think yesterdays fluctuation was just because the husband and I went out for dinner and we had a margarita. Nice date night! So total loss for November was 4 pounds exactly. Hopefully December I will start seeing the 140's decade!

Current Stats/Comments:



11/01: 177.6 Starting Weight
11/08: 179.6 Too much travel this week. Too many restaurants & not enough movement. Ugg….
11/15: 177.2 Lots of travel again this week. Weight actually went higher than this but I’m working it back down. It’s nice to type it in red ink.
11/22: 176.0 This week has been a roller-coaster but I managed to reign it in. Two Thanksgiving dinner’s planned for this week. The scales next week will tell the final tale.
11/29: 176.4 A tiny blip up but not bad after the two holiday feasts. It actually went much higher but I’ve gotten it back down this past week. Tonight is the usual Thursday pot luck so I fear a bit of extra water weight tomorrow due to the carbs. I hope to at least end at my 11/1/2018 starting weight. While I enjoy and indulge on Thursdays during this very fun social event each week, I do try to make decent choices. I am sure that I will not reach my November or my December goals. This time of year is just too tough for me, especially since I've become older. However, these challenges will help me keep it reigned in. It will remind me to move in the ways that I can. It will help to minimize the potential damage. And it will help me to build my strength toward my plan and my "new lifestyle".
11/30: 178.1 Never weigh after a potluck dinner. Ugg.
