Almost, but not yet…

Hello All!

Another Saturday, another weigh in. I am down 1 pound this week, for a total of 29. Do you know how much I wanted to get to my 30-pound weight loss today? A lot! Ugh. I started my period this week so that always wreaks havoc with the scale. I am sure that next week will be better but for now, at least the scale isn’t going up, as Gilbert pointed out. 😊

I made some good meals this past week so the meal planning was more successful. I can’t believe it is already October. The weather is definitely getting colder here as more and more of the trees begin to shed their leaves. Hunter got to his favorite park this morning so he was happy.

I found myself not being as careful as I was in the very beginning of the diet. I took a few bites of this and a few bites of that so I am really starting to watch myself once more. The tiny bites all add up in the end. It has been 9 weeks since I started this journey. I think that I just needed to re-focus. I have to start going back downstairs to my exercise bike. I haven’t been doing it as much as I should be.

During mid-week, we had a huge major event happen. My old cell phone was starting to hang up on people while I was talking to them and re-set itself randomly and with more and more frequency. Soooo, it was time and on Thursday a new phone arrived in the mail. I am not all that great with newer technology so you can only imagine how wonderful the set up and learning went between Gilbert and me. It wasn’t a harmonious household on Thursday evening at the Fournelle household but things improved and I really like the new cell phone now. Gilbert even bought me some ear buds that I can use with the cell phone so I can talk hands free and listen to my music. I like them a lot and I didn’t think that I would. We’ll see how week 10 goes and I sure hope that I can report my big 3-0 weight loss next week!!
