 I was traveling by car (4500 miles) for the last week 12/3-12/10. So not much chance for exercise and a little more of a challenge to "be good". Regardless, it was a great week and much was accomplished. I was on my annual mission/pilgrimage to help distribute the Peacelight in the US.
 See Peacelight North America for an idea of what I was doing.4

 12/01-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)-
 12/04-181.0-(Trend Weight: 181.8)- I am so incredibly sick right now. But it’s not affecting my stomach so I am still having to be very careful of what I eat. I’m trying hard not to eat comfort foods (which are all primarily bad carbs) because I feel sorry for myself. My chest is so full of phlegm. I can barely get off the couch. Yesterday I got a total of 911 steps and did not hit my 250 steps in any hour of the 13 rings. If December catches me, it’s going to swallow me whole. Trying to stay ahead of it but it’s so hard when I’m feeling this weak. It’s the Last Thing I Needed In The Month Of December. I can watch what I eat but I can’t burn anything off so it’s all in but nothing out in the form of expenditure.
 12/11-178.8-(Trend Weight: 180.6)- Hitting 178 point anything puts me at my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs so I have officially made it. Even though it is by the skin of my teeth, I am over the moon. This week I also dropped from Obese to Overweight on the BMI charts. I feel like real progress is being made toward my health goals. I know my weight is going to fluctuate up and down over 180 and under again during these holidays, but I feel like my dietary plan and fitness plan are working for me so I really feel on the right path and prepared for my future. I have been most excited about how much better my blood sugars are doing. It’s the season for tinsel and presents. Is there any better gift we can give ourselves than the gift of health? It’s been very hard work, but I’m getting somewhere finally. I don’t have a hope in Haites that I’ll make my challenge goal with all the upcoming festivities and holidays, but the path is before me and goes way beyond December, so it’s going to be okay.

            I have covid. I guess you guys have probably also down graded it to another influenza like thing. But it's not fun to have. The other house humans walk the dog and I don't think they do it long enough. So I feel guilty.
 Some weight loss. It wasn't there yesterday so I guess it's time of month related. Not sure when in the last month I actually lost it because it was not this weekend because I have been busy trying to see if chocolate and the walking dead cure covid. There has been no actual walking.

 12/04-181.0-(Trend Weight: 181.8)-
 12/11-178.8-(Trend Weight: 180.6)- Hitting 178 point anything puts me at my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs so I have officially made it. Even though it is by the skin of my teeth, I am over the moon. This week I also dropped from Obese to Overweight on the BMI charts. I feel like real progress is being made toward my health goals. I know my weight is going to fluctuate up and down over 180 and under again during these holidays, but I feel like my dietary plan and fitness plan are working for me so I really feel on the right path and prepared for my future. I have been most excited about how much better my blood sugars are doing. It’s the season for tinsel and presents. Is there any better gift we can give ourselves than the gift of health? It’s been very hard work, but I’m getting somewhere finally. I don’t have a hope in Haites that I’ll make my challenge goal with all the upcoming festivities and holidays, but the path is before me and goes way beyond December, so it’s going to be okay.
