Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


11/01-181.2-(Trend Weight: 184.5)-

11/07-183.6-(Trend Weight: 184.3)- ) Scale weight is up from last week but trend weight is down. I guess that best shows how the week went, pretty up & down due to travel and a family birthday. I’m back on top of things now that I’m in my “safe space” – Home. Someday I hope to transfer all my good habits to everywhere I am, even when the choices are limited. I throw it all out the window way too easily.

11/14-182.6-(Trend Weight: 184.1)- I was out of town for 2 days including an overnight and gained my usual travel weight from restaurants and sitting. I’m working it down now. I will be doing a ton of traveling from now until after Christmas. Especially with Christmas shopping since I am from a very very rural area. I really need to learn some travel manners! My goal was to lose 4 lbs this month and get myself firmly planted in the 170's. Instead, I am fighting tooth and nail just to get back to starting weight. And there's Thanksgiving, one of the biggest food holidays of the year looming just ahead. It is right there between me and my goal. No one said this would be easy but Sheesh!.......

Giving up candy is the next goal. I have to if I want to maintain/lose a little more weight. Had a wine slip (I had been off all alcohol for 20 days) but back on track with that now. I know on Thanksgiving we all will probably eat more than we should but we should cut ourselves some slack and not be hard on ourselves.
