Happy Halloween

I love this holiday and it’s a beautiful day here in NJ. I’m feeling pretty good today despite feeling a little ill from an impending cold, having drank a little too much last night, lacking sleep, and finally seeing a one pound gain on the scale this morning. I’m not going to stress over that pound because it could be the million coronas I inhaled last night. But I don’t want to rest too easy in the new found space of my size 16s because technically I’m creeping up in size, albeit slow. Before I know it it’s going to look like a huge leap.

More positive news is that we’re able to stay in our new house. I have a bed and my computer is set up. 99 percent of our painting is done. I’m home!

Near the top of my list of priorities is getting back to the gym. I had been in such good shape and I really miss it. I know this is easy to say but I’m not so far gone that I’m not still motivated. My plan is to get back on the wagon the same way I started this nearly two years ago. Slow and steady, incorporating little efforts here and there until I get on a consistent roll.

Despite my setbacks and some yo-yoing, after two years I’m still 25 pounds down from my highest documented weight (I’m sure it was even higher). I do feel like a changed person where my weight, eating, and obsession about it are much more moderate. Even if I’m not where I thought I would be at this time, I’m still ahead in the game.
