I had a great week! We miss seeing the sunshine and family back in Auburn, but we got settled back into our normal routine last week. I made sure that I was tracking everything, really concentrating on portion control and staying on plan and it paid off. I am down 4.8 pounds, making my total loss so far 37.4. I can’t wait to hit the big 4-0, maybe next week? Regardless of how long it takes me, at least the scale is going down once more. I planned out our meals and stuck to them this week and it really paid off. The key to everything is planning and planning and preparation takes time, but if I don’t, then I don’t seem to stay on track very well.
I can’t believe that Christmas is just around the corner, but it is. The house is almost decorated, it is getting there, slowly but surely! There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything accomplished that I want. I guess that is life.
I like the hustle and bustle of this time of the year. I want to get everything done all at once, but I remind myself that it doesn’t have to get done all at once. I tend to be an all or nothing kind of person but I am working really hard on slowing down and realizing that all things don’t have to happen at once. One day at a time, right? I will keep everybody posted on how next week goes.
