10/20-191.0-(Trend Weight: 192.6)-

10/27-191.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)-It was a rough week where a little travel and a lot of cravings got the best of me. Having the Halloween stuff in the house has only highlighted to me that my willpower is still weak and I have lots of work to do. In fact, it’s pretty clear to me that I only do well when the tempting food is not around me. Clearly I haven’t learned to make good choices yet when choices are before me. Yea, I’m pretty great if I’m in an empty room with no food. Otherwise, not so much! This is a long….long….long journey and I’ve got a lot to learn still yet. I’m still ready to get there! Upside….trend weight is still coming down even if it’s likely due to my erratic week. I am still nicely below my October starting weight so, for that, I am grateful. I will be traveling later this afternoon until tonight and dinner will be out so I expect a bit of a temporary setback tomorrow morning on the scale. However, there will be 3 more weigh-ins after that and I hope to have good days and maintain or even improve my progress. Wow this is tough!

10/31-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- A nice drop again after the TMI finally came along that was missing yesterday. Gravitating toward the 180’s slowly and in stealth mode. Perhaps I can sneak up on it and it won’t notice! Down 3 lbs for the month after making a quick turnaround at the end of the month. Hoping to keep up the momentum. Anyway, Have a safe evening my friends and lets try to remember that the candy belongs to our kids, grandkids and random trick-or-treaters. Not you or me. Yes, even the Reese‘s Peanut Butter Cups!


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
